One of those days...

...it comes the moment where I think that I'm tricked by the future I picked.

Girl effect? Yes that may change the current.

I come from a country where brains were continuously and constantly washed with propaganda. Slogans like "Women are the greatest potential!", "We claim equity among men and women!", "Women are the future!" and so on were seen everywhere. They even used to sculpt those on the facades of some buildings. Ridiculous enough might sound the fact that we don't get any message straight ahead nowadays, real it is. I used to vomit when reading similar messages.

I, myself am fed up with this kind of "food" and so is most of my generation and afterward. Yet, there are cases when I can be impressed.

There are few things that I have in my heart, some are the discussions of distinguished values. There are few of those nowadays filled with original ideas and great opinions worth the time spent to read. Some days ago I happen to participate in a debate in one topic in the page of "The Economist" on FaceBook:
Culture: Result or Cause of Economic Development?. My firm opinion is on the side of the economic development as the cause of cultural developments and innovation in a country. The culture is merely what follows with the flow of changes when economic conditions improve and I can argue that. Weighting out my opinion while writing, I recalled the fact mentioned in the first paragraph. Well like it or not, some of the slogans are accurate and rightful. Women indeed are of a great potential and of beneficence to the economies and the general wealth.

I don't like slogans, nor do I like very much feminism. It's rather overclaimed or overused. I don't believe in gender equity, but I do believe the role of women is singular, irreplaceable and significant in contributing in a society's evolvement and progress. There it lies the real potential, the one every society lacks to have, where every sort of flowering, genesis and procreation thrives. It is the gender that portages the rise and satisfies every economic theory that seeks how to solve conflicts and problems brought by lack of development.

Here I'm talking about a web site, which with its design reinforces what I've learned to sceptically believe.

Citing from: here

[Matt Smithson is the director behind the new viral video calling for social change, "The Girl Effect." The spot was created for Wieden+Kennedy and is part of the $100 million-backed effort from Nike Foundation and NoVo Foundation to the cause, which is about being "the powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society."...]

It is an excellent idea, message and marketing campaign. I haven't agreed this much in a long time. Here I change my belief's borders. Feels nice to be open!

"...The Girl Effect: The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.

WHY GIRLS?..."

Statistics will tell. Give some to the girls, you will get a lot on return! Here to women! Aren't they beautiful? Cheers!

Happines? Finally defined!

There is no joke. Finally one can tell when and how happiness can be achieved.

2300 years ago Epicurus, e Greek Philosopher, spent his life in trying to define happiness. He firmly defended the hypothesis that what causes pain is bad and hence to be avoided in maximum and, what brings pleasure is good i.e. happiness. Accordingly, in order to achieve happiness, one has simply to gain pleasure from what he is doing. The potential rests in motion or static, citing the same source. The static pleasure which is identified in fulfilled desires, is the one that counts and more gratifying. He also claimed that the most unfavorable adversary to the status is the scare from the future.

Well, eventually that fear has to go once INSEE (L'Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques en France - The French Statistics Institute of a high reputation) has come to the conclusion that the amplitude of contentment increases while age advances. In average, the statistics report that French people, at their seniority, are happier. You have to be around 65-70 to be happy. (Source in today's Yahoo)

So, why fear the future? Why fear the age?

Age is the conquest of happiness!

Voila, c'est ca!

French coffee apo jo?!

Sot zbulova nje kafene te re hapur ne qytet. Kjo ne vetvete eshte nje gje teper e rralle pasi ketu asgju nuk hapet e re, sidomos e kesaj kategorie e ne keto kohe qe po kalojme....

Nejse, me doli krejt rastesisht perpara pasi me kishin refuzu me me sherbu ne i klub tjeter i cili kishte prioritet t'hongmen. Desha me iu pervesh i her atij kamarierit kur me tha me fjale te edukume po shume pa Udukate qe s'mund te me sherbente. Desha t'i them qe s'me dha asnje arsye kur me refuzoi dhe ta gozhdoja, po e kisha kuptu dhe preferova te mos err dieten e diellte me i gje te rendomte si ajo. S'e mos e kish fajin kamarieri frustruar...nesje, t'i kthehemi historise.


Kafeneja ishte shume e lezetshme, kishte nje stil te thjeshte por te dashur. Si vecnati dallova mobilimin. Nje kafene me shume lloje vendesh per t'u ulur te konceptuara ne menyra te ndryshme. Banaku ishte i vogel dhe i kendshme. Mbi banak, pikerisht aty ku rrinte banakieri ishte shkruar "Order here" ose "Commander ici"...ne te dyja gjuhet (une qe ketu u lajkatova LOL). Pashe qe njerezit kishin perpara gota kafeje nga ato prej letre. Kur pashe shenjat si dhe nje shenje tjeter qe thoshte "I lutemi klienteles t'i hedhe gotat prej letre ne plehra", e kuptova qe ishte si bicim vetesherbimi. Nuk e di perse e kishin bere keshtu jo vetem per klientet qe marrin kafen dhe e pine diku tjeter po ashtu edhe per ata qe ulen...mbase s'ka uje Grenoble me dy lumej si Isere e Drac qe kane uje me shume se Danubi LOL. Po nuk e di...me tutje vura re qe kish tabela qe shenon qe nese u pelqente ideja, te vizitonin faqen e internetit www.frenchcoffeeshop.com. Ne faqen web eshte e mireshenuar qe eshte nje kafene me vetesherbim...si dhe nje kafene qe i perket nje zinxhiri kafenesh te ngjashme kudo ne France.

Hmmm, i afrohem banakut dhe shoh listen qe ishte teper e gjate. Te mendosh qe me kafe behen kaq shume gjera...nejse, preferova te provoj nje cafe Costa Rica qe s'me kish rene ende rasti ta beja. Kur isha ulur dhe shijoja kafen time vijne dy zonja te moshuara (nderkohe hynin e dilin shume kliente cuditerisht edhe pse lokali kish vetem 1 muaj qe ishte hapur). Zonja qe ishte elegante, mori vetem nje espresso. Tjetra, pakez me e beshme, mori nje kapucino i cili ishte i mbuluar (me sa duket per t'u mbajt ngrohte) me nje kapuc te majme me shkume te zbukuruar me pluhur cokollate. E para i hodhi nje sheqer e nisi ta pinte tere endje. E dyta, e cila mezi merrte fryme nga pesha, nxjerr nga xhepi nje kuti nga ato qe mbajne sheqer dietik dhe i hedh nje dy kokrra kapucinos abondante dhe te zbukuruar aq hijshem me krem te trashe qumeshti e cokollate pluhur :-).

Kafeja ime e serviru me nje mini-tabaka ne nje gote letre e sjelle nga Costa Rica, ishte shume shijshme. Cuditerisht ne kafene kishte shume me teper te huaj sesa franceze...nuk e di perse!
