video Dr. PATCH ADAMS

PATCH ADAMS: each one of us, has his/her own clown inside to show to the world and make people smile!

I've found one beautiful scene (because there's a good speech), but for me the best one is when he makes children laughing in their hospital room. If you have never seen this film I recomend it to you! Not only because I would like to be a doctor, I think you'll feel different after watching it!

STEVE JOBS EXPLAINS THE RULES FOR SUCCESS

A good friend: Caroline (By Rebeca)

Her name is Caroline. When I was eight years old my parents bought a piece of ground in Blanes and I met her there. She's from Bordeaux, France, and she comes to Spain every year in summer and Christmas.

I pass all the summer in Blanes with her and another friends, and when she has to leave us, she always starts to cry. We're very important people for her, and she is too important for us, therefore every year it's harder. We're a group of ten friends, but really, in this group there are other groups. I speak more with her and two friends more, we're a subgroup of four people, our WhatsApp's name is "the trident+1" because we are from Barcelona and Caroline's from France. Although she never is physically, we speak every day in the group and she does as much as possible for keep the contact. Caroline's a person who cares much for the relationships.I admire her because she’s very funny and self-confident, however, Caroline's a bit eccentric, she's an unusual person. 

We have passed good moments together, and I hope to spend more special moments with her. 

A good friend: Massilva (By Vanessa)

Massilva comes from Algiers the capital of the largest country in Africa. If you stare at her you will never believe that she is African. Her features like her pale skin, her little nose and her chestnut and curly long hair without yashmak it surprised me. Even though her country is becoming each day like “a prison under a blue sky” because of the Islamic religion, her origins are on the mountains of Kabili. Kabil people are a sort of Berbers, they have also their own language “amazir” and traditions. That is why she has some freedom that other girls in the same age have not in her country.  And believe me! She takes advantage of it with an enormous responsibility!

I first met her in France last year, in Nancy. She was my room neighbor and since the first time we trusted and helped each other all long of the year. We were both alone, far away from our home and our family.  For me it was a pleasure to stay there and discover a new country, for her it was the only opportunity to escape from the submission.  She was studying the first year of medicine which is much harder than in Spain, and I was studying my fifth year there doing an Erasmus exchange program. She is a true example of a woman who believes in herself and who improves and learns from everyone and everything, everyday.  She talks about her ideas in a surprising clearly way. I need to thank her because during all the year she transmitted to me her energy and I realized that I was so lucky and that life could be hard and serious but we can always find out a smile. I hardly believe that in the future she will be a wise woman.

She knows a lot about how to save money and she was always next to me to give me an advice. That was amazing because she is younger than me, despite her age she knows a lot about life maybe  because in her country was not so easy to live et survive as a woman, that is why she is so conscientious, ambitious, self-confident, cheerful, stubborn, and loyal. She spent some time in Catalonia this last summer. I loved to keep her company for these days! She stills giving to me some advices about my lifestyle, and we keep contact.  I want to discover her country too one day!

I am happy to say that she is a really good friend.

Sushil Kumar: What the real Slumdog Millionaire did next

Have you seen the film Slumdog Millionaire? Here you have the real story. As said in the article, does a person change when they become rich overnight? would you?. In my opinion it's a difficult choice, but intelligent, isn't it?

A good friend: Luisa (by Cristina Moreno)

I'm writing about one of my best friends. Her name's Luisa. I met her twelve years ago when she was working in the same office than me.
Little by little I discovered that She's the kind of person you can trust. She's a friendly person very sincere, honest and loyal. She's also open-minded and funny. We spend a lot of time talking about different things and often we laugh a lot. Both have similar ways of thinking and rarely we discussed.
The only thing that I don't like about her personality is that She's a bite quite and never arrive punctually but nobody's perfect and She's really a good friend.
Now is a good time for her because She's pregnant and She's very happy.

A good friend: Albert (by Carlos Bailo)

This is Albert, I’ve known him for 7 years, but only 2 or 3 years ago that we are best friends. I met him when we did tae-kwondo. Then we went to the same school like now.

The years we spent together at school, we did not set much connection. We got along well, but we were not friends at all. After we discovered each other things we had in common and we became close friends. This year has been one of the best, because he pointed at my rowing club, and we’ve become more friends than we were. We had many good things like when we won the league of rowing. One thing that characterizes him and me is that we are always doing stupid things, and it’s very funny. Albert is very funny, he can make you laugh at the slightest thing, but other things of his personality are that he is very honest, very polite and you can trust him. Albert is a person with a different personality of the other people, and I like a lot this.

But Albert has some attitudes or things that aren’t too much good. He is a bit reserved, and it’s difficult to help him with his problems. He is lazy, but I can’t criticize this, because I’m lazier than him. But the worst thing of Albert is that he is a very good person, and I think that in some cases he has to be stricter,  like if somebody makes him angry, he has to make the anger goes out!

But I think he is a friend for all of my life, he is a real friend.

A good friend: Luisa (by Cristina Moreno)

I'm writing about one of my best friends. Her name's Luisa. I met her twelve years ago when she was working in the same office than me.
Little by little, after we spent eight hours every day together I discovered that she was the kind of person you can trust. She's a friendly person very sincere, honest and the most loyal person with their friends that I have never known. She's also open-minded and funny. We spend a lot of time talking about different things and often we laugh a lot. Both have similar thoughts and rarely discuss.
The only thing that I don't like about her personality is that she's a bite quite and never arrives punctually but nobody's perfect and she's really a good friend.
Now is a good time for her because she's pregnant and she's very happy because she wanted to have a baby from a long time.

A good friend : Carlos (by Pepi)

This is Carlos.I met him in 1981.It was a friend´s birthday party and since that day we have been inseparable.
He is an optimistic person : his glass is always half full.He has a bright cheerful spirit and the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.
I admire him because is loyal , sincere , generous , funny (he says I don´t have sense of humor and maybe it is true) and well-balanced and that feature of his personality is perfect for me because I am a bit histerical : that drives him crazy!!! (He will never get bored with me).
Sometimes is a bit stubborn.He is so consciencious!!!He does his best at work and for that reason he has less time to spend with me , with his family , with his friends.
We have been together over thirty years,thirty years later that party ,I know he is my best friend.

A good friend: Marian (by Sara)

This is Marian and she is my sister-in-law. I met her in 2006 one day when I went  to visit to my brother (I was living in Coma-Ruga) in Sta. Coloma de Gramanet.

Some months after I moved with my brother because I had some problems in Coma-Ruga and she was already living there, the following days were when I could meet she better.

In a few days I realized that she was very cheerful, sincere and honest. One day I went with Marian and my brother to see as they test the songs of their Black Metal band (then, the band was just my sister-in-law as a guitarist and my brother as a drummer) and I was very surprised as Marian played the guitar because she was too fast and she played it really good, moreover she was very creative because all songs were composed by her.

Today they have already played their songs in some concerts (the band is already complete). I always try to attend every concert they have but sometimes I can’t.

Nowadays they are living in Granollers and we met at least once a month for have dinner, go to enjoy a concert or festival.

A good friend: Dimi (by Lilyana)

Her name is Dimi, short for Dimitrina. She was my age, slim, with blond hair and blue eyes. She worked in a veterinary clinic. We didn't know each other until we met in a small village on the Black Sea 20 years ago. We were surprised to know that we lived in the same town, the same district, and at a short distance. We were neighbors but we met far away from home. 

I was glad to find a good companion for the summer holiday. She was agreeable and somewhat childish. With her I had that strange feeling that you have known her for years. We could spend our time talking about anything or in silence, any way we felt comfortable. She was personally charming, intelligent and very helpful. We kept our friendship after the holiday. We got on really well and spent a good time. Something more, Dimi became my best friend.

However when I took this photo eleven years ago, I didn't know that it would be our last summer together. Nobody could expect something so cruel. We lost her due to a malignant disease. Nothing could be done...

Today I dedicate my composition to my unique friend Dimi. She was a really good friend and I'm thankful to have met her.

My best friend Álvaro (by Paola)

Álvaro and I were going to the same school and we knew each other by sight since the primary school, but when we really became good friends was during the high school and specially in Bachillerato.

At first, he was shameful and quiet. With some luck we talked about class stuff . Then, one day he asked me about some mangas for read. I recommended him one and we started to talk about that. Little by little we continued sharing interests and knowing more each other. At that time, I realized he was a really smart and honest boy but for him it was difficult to share his emotions, feelings or thinking because of the shy side and because we didn’t have a lot of confident.

Finally, the situation changed radically: we started to extend our plans, to go out to take coffee, going to the cinema, making long walks and infinite talks, taking us crazy pictures…

He wasn’t the only one who opened himself to another person by first time. I also did and it was awesome. We could argue and the next day we could cry with laughter. I discovered he was kind and attentive and also that he had a crazy and psychopath side I took it out.  

You can talk with him about anything you want but you may have to make an appointment because he’s usually very busy with his degree, his games, reading his books or watching his TV series.

Nowadays, we maintain this respect and confident for each other. He’s like a brother for me.

A good friend: Marcos (by Carlos Montero)

I am going to introduce you Marcos one of the best friends I have. I met him 8 years ago during the summer, when I was visiting my uncle's flat that was being furnished. He is 9 years older than me, but that does not matters. 

He is very loyal and optimistic, although we do not share lots of things, we have an incredible relationship. I have seen him almost ever summer since we had met, it seems a few time, but it is not, because he lives in Granada, far away from here.

When he comes here we go to my camping to spend our summer time, place which we really enjoy because there are perfect beaches.

Now a days he is studying an engineering degree, so he does not have as much time as he did before to write emails to me, but at the same time new social networks have let us to speak more often.

Finally I have to say that I would like that this friendship would lasts forever.

Mi new friend Eli (by Nuria)

I choose for present us my new friend Eli. I met her the last summer at work. She is a very funny girl because is a very genuine person, she don’t has filters to express what she thinks, sometimes she has problems with other people for this reason, but I prefer a sincere people that not have problems to say anything. She is also very loyal and she has a heart of gold, always is willing for help to those in need.

She is an advocate of the unjust and she has a great fighting spirit. I wouldn’t want her as an enemy.

When we work together we laughed a lot, we both really like jokes.

I admire her for her good feelings. At the moment the only thing of her character that I don’t like is that she is a rather abrupt.

Recently I know her, but I hope know more things of her and her live and I sure in the near future she will be an important person in my life.

Good friends: Mireia and Júlia (by Amanda)

They are Mireia and Júlia. I met them this last summer in a theatre camp, where we stayed for a week, without mobiles, TV or any type of new technology. We were just there, in the middle of the mountain, enjoying with different activities and learning how to act, that’s what we really love. In this camp, we met lots of lovely people and we made a group of 9. The first time we talk, we get on really well and we discovered that we have more things in common than we thought, for example our passion for music. We spent the all week doing things together like acting, dancing, going to the swimingpool, climbing, eating, sleeping, we were inseparables! Although, we live in different cities and we can’t meet as much as we want but we try to keep in contact, and these days is very easy because everybody has Whatsapp! The disadvantage of being a group of 9 it’s that it’s too difficult to get in line and decide a day to meet, because always there’s someone that can’t come. After three months without see them, I finally met Mireia and Júlia, I really missed them because they’re very optimistic and open-minded and as you can see in the picture we always have a good time when we’re together. Definitely, I’ll always try to be in touch with them because thanks of them I’ve passed the best week of my life!

A good friend: Imma (by Verónica)

This is Imma. Really, I don’t remember the first time I met her because we were babies. We lived in the same flat and our parents were good friends so we grow up together.  We went to the same nursery and school. Our teenager’s time was the best time of my live. She always has been very impulsive and original planning things. Unfortunately, when the university’s time came we distance a bit ourselves.

Despite we have different lives and we are busy, we always tend to see each other.  She has always been my best friend. I admire her because she is incredibly calm, assertive and a self-confident person.  When something wrong is coming she keeps calm and is very optimistic. Also, she is funny and laughs a lot.

The only negative thing is that she is a bit quiet and reserved. However, she is good at giving people advices and she really has a heart of gold. We love going shopping because both of us have the same test in fashion and we are very vain.

We have been friends for twenty four years and I hope our friendship last forever.
