Accidents and Injuries

Deixe uma resposta

A cyclist here in Curitiba, Brazil, was riding his bicycle in a street exclusive for buses. He didn't noticed that 2 buses would meet and when he noticed, he tried to pass between them. But the rear wheel caught him and bruised him. After that, he was taken to hospital and he moderately injured. I am shocked about that. This street has a lot of buses and there are a lot of cyclist who ride there. This street section has an exclusive lane for bicycles and people do not respect it yet.

Transcendence is an excellent movie and it leads us to thinking in important problems about our existence. Worldwide problems like the lack of food, pollution in earth, health system e etcetera were solved on nanotechnology and the best of the movie is discussing it. So, I will get started.

In the beginning, a brilliant computer scientist adding succeeds artificial intelligence in a monkey. His name is Dr. Will Caster. He started a discussion about that and led the academic community to thinking about future of technology and showing the benefits of artificial intelligence in saving the planet. What the AI could do and held evolution enough to save the planet. However, many people did not believe that this could be happen in such a simple form. Probably, the artificial intelligence would devastate the world. So, one group tried killing him without success. But the bullet was poisoned with radiation and began affecting him. Will Caster's wife did not want to see him dead. So she persuades him to transfer his intelligence and personality to the computer so it could be liberated in the internet and dispersed in the world.

This new computer discovered nanotechnology, the secret of millions of diseases, helps policies solving many cases and reconstructed the human body perfectly. Someday, Will Caster's work suffered an accident and he save his life. Will Caster's wife felt bad with what happened and she gave her opinion about it with other computer scientist.

These scientists wanted to destroy the computer because after the computer saved lives, it could control people that it saved. They discovered that Will Caster’s nanotechnology disseminated throughout the planet and they started a plan to destroy him. The plan turned off permanently all electricity of the world. Scientists got it and after discovered that the machine saved the planet. Deserts were transforming in to wide forests. The water was purified. Toxic wastes disappeared. The sky was free of pollution. In the end, his wife became part of his code and we, watchers, discovered that one part of them continued alive.

[Composing – 11] Why is family so important?

Deixe uma resposta

My mom separated from my father when I was two years old. In my childhood, I did not know how it was like having a father. I was growing and I made news friends. Their parents find out my story and they tried decreasing this feeling. In my adolescence, I started to date with my actual wife and my father-in-law did the same. Now I will be a father. What is the feeling now?

I want to be the best father in the world. I want to have experiences with my sons that I have not had. However, how will I do that if I do not know it? I got to the conclusion that it is possible. I am ready. My wife and I have three godchildren. I have some experience in my life. I am more mature than five or ten years ago. We live alone in Curitiba and we want this more than all. We have plenty of love give to our children.

I love my wife. She thinks the same things as me. I hate untutored children. I will be an angry father but not stupid. I have to create my sons for the world. My children will grow up and I want them to say that they had a good life. It is our goal. I got married for it.

People think that I not having had a father was bad for me. Nevertheless, my mom was very special for me. She knew how to take care of my brother and me. Today, we are good men and we are sure, we are to make a better world for us and our sons. My mother has worked hard and we used to travel a lot. She gave education for us. She has love and courage for us and it was essential.

[Compossing – 06] Why France is such an interesting country?

Deixe uma resposta

I have been reading a lot about history in recent years and it became an admiration for the country. I love stories about Napoleon, old wars, the fight of the rights of man and citizens. Because of that, today, my dream is visit to France. First, I would like go to Paris. Second, I would like to see the Tour de France and it could be in Alpe d’Huez. Third, I would like to have good moments with my wife in Paris.

How are you going to start a tour in Paris? This is an excellent question. I read many things about that and there are many city tours free in Paris. I would like to get one and listen to the history from “Parisienses”. After, I would like to go to the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum and Les Invalides Museum where Napoleon was buried.

However, it is difficult to visit Paris and do not remember the charm that city offers. Take an excellent coffee in a beautiful place and after, sit in a park and take many photos. My wife would love it. Maybe, going to a restaurant for dinner.

I love to ride bicycle and when I was a child, I have always watched the Tour de France. In that time, I loved Lance Armstrong. He was a fantastic athlete and he climbed mountains as nobody else. I have known that he took drugs to win because he did impossible things. Now, I would like to see other athletes climbing the mountains that I love it. The name is Alpe d’Huez. 13 kilometers of endless climb.

Because of Paris, the Louvre, the French History and the continent, I would love to take this trip and I will visit it in the next 2 or 3 years.

[Composing – 10] Curitiba Marathon

Deixe uma resposta

Last year I ran the Curitiba Marathon. Everyone should run a marathon someday. Because my first marathon was unforgettable. I have prepared myself for this moment for about six months. These six months were very difficult.

I believe that everyone should run a marathon because it requires work hard. Every day in last year, I woke up at six am to run or go to gym. The marathon became one of the major goals of my life. I trained hard and I completed this running in three hours and fifty-three minutes. I suffered a lot in the final moments and in the end, I cried a lot.

This goal was important to me because I have started, I have realized and I have finished it. I have learned once again in my life how I should do everything. The feeling of completing something is amazing. I believe that after this moment I became a better person.

This feeling was when I completed the marathon. Try. Feel it. It is important for you.
