Description of the Ideal Job



If I think about a ideal job, I see a job according with a lot of characteristics that I consider very important in a good job. Some of these attributes gain importance in any type of personal situations and others are essential in all the cases.
For example, from my point of view, in all jobs the most important issues are the working conditions, the salary and the type of work that you have to do. Other element that I consider very important is the work environment because If you have a good job in terms of salary and work conditions but the work environment is bad, you are not happy at work and the other basic terms take second place. The essential condition that your job must satisfy is your happiness!!
If you are married or you have children, the free time and the flexible schedule are most important than a good salary because you need spend more time with your family. On the other hand, when you are young you rate more the money than a good schedule, free time or duties because you don't mind about work more hours.

Finally, the characteristics that a good job must satisfy depend of your personal situation and your aspirations.

Popular festivals

Hello!

In this post, I would like speak about the popular festivals in Galician.

In Galician, popular festivals are seeing as one of the moments in the year when the families meet. In this festivals people eat, dance and drink a lot.

This festivals are more important as smaller the village is and the importance can be viewed in terms of the price of the orchestras that participates in the event. For example, the most popular and expensive groups are Paris de Noia, Olympus or Panorama.

The principal festive day of the year (usually the 15th of August), the orchestras are in high demand and their prizes are higher than other dates. For this festivals, the villages are scrambling each other to hire their services.

A very typical element in popular festivals is the action of a bagpiper. The Galician pipes are very popular in Galician and they usually are presents in our festivals. The old people likes a lot because the sound of a Galician pipe helps them to remember the past years.

The past paragraphs summarize the characteristics of Galician festivals.

I hope you like it.

God and the man

A man visits God and says "God, do you mind if I ask you a  few questions?"
God says "No, ask me anything at all."

So the man says "God, you've been around for a very long time, so, for you, how long is a thousand years?"
God replies "For me, a thousand years is only five minutes."

The man then says "That's interesting God. And, for you, how much is a million dollars?"
God replies "For me, a million dollars is only five cents."

The man says "Really? Well then God, could you lend me five cents please?"
God looks at the man, smiles, and says "Of course my son. Just wait five minutes!"

Blogs in Plain English

Hello World!

My first post!

I would like to dedicate my first post to visitors who read and comment the posts published in my blog every day.

My first post expresses my feelings about a situation that affects a lot of people in the world. The financial crisis.
The financial storm was caused by banking executives and political leaders whose mismanagement and greed damaged our planet, the life and future of a lot of people.

The origin of financial crisis can be summarized by the following sentence:
"Incompetence is more harmful the greater the power of incompetent"

The future will not be the same after this storm. The responsibilities should be purged.
