Remmitances


Yesterday I took a picture in San Salvador downtown and I saw an interesting xmas tree.
Focus at the top of xmas tree: "Western Union"


This season illegal people can't share with their families, and most of them send money to calm their absent and stay connected. But anything, can to change the lonely feelings and send money is the only way, that they can to show their love and support through the distance.

Money transfers from Latin American and Caribbean migrants to their families back home, will represent at least 10% of countries’ gross domestic product, according to a survey presented by the Inter-American Development Bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF).

If you share with family and friends this holidays, no matter how much you have in your pocket, you are a blessed person, ENJOY IT!!!

Fish philosophy, enjoy the new attitude!!

I'm reading a book, its a friend's gift and I try to understand the new attitude to work. Changes are ok!!!


Fish has 4 basic principles that can make working fun:

Choose your Attitude:
When you enter the workplace everyday, you don't just get yourself but also your attitude along.
"There's always a choice about the way you do your work,
even if there is not a choice about the work itself."

Play:
How do you make work fun? Playing is fun. Make work play. Every game has rules, so does work have. This needs more thought on how actual work can be made play.

Make their Day:
Look beyond working for yourself. Even small gestures can make someone's day. Lookout for how you can help someone. When you enjoy your work; you do it extremely well. Work well done, makes the one in charge or the one who needs it happy.

Be Present:
Time just flies by. One needs to be in the present, at least for most part of one's day to make the most of it. You can give your work your best, only if you are in the present and focused on the work at hand.

Winter solstice, I love winter's time.

The winter solstice is this week for us in the northern hemisphere. After the winter solstice, the days will get longer. Celebration time!

Late dawn. Early sunset. Short day. Long night. For us in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the longest night and shortest day of the year.

The earliest humans knew that the sun’s path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year. They built monuments, such as Stonehenge, to follow the sun’s yearly progress.

In the northern hemisphere, the December solstice occurs during the coldest season of the year. Although winter was regarded as the season of dormancy, darkness and cold, the coming of lighter days after the winter solstice brought on a more festive mood. To many people, this return of the light was a reason to celebrate that nature’s cycle was continuing.

The December solstice has played an important role the lives of many people in ancient times. To this day, the world is still influenced by various traditions linked to the observance of the December solstice.

In Poland the ancient December solstice observance prior to Christianity involved people showing forgiveness and sharing food. It was a tradition that can still be seen in what is known as Gody.

In the northwestern corner of Pakistan, a festival called Chaomos, takes place among the Kalasha or Kalash Kafir people. It lasts for at least seven days, including the day of the December solstice. It involves ritual baths as part of a purification process, as well as singing and chanting, a torchlight procession, dancing, bonfires and festive eating.

The ancient Incas celebrated a special festival to honor the sun god at the time of the December solstice. In the 16th century ceremonies were banned by the Roman Catholics in their bid to convert the Inca people to Christianity. A local group of Quecia Indians in Cusco, Peru, revived the festival in the 1950s. It is now a major festival that begins in Cusco and proceeds to an ancient amphitheater a few miles away.

No matter how celebrate this time, happy winter's solstice!!!
