Are there more opportunities outside?

First of all, this post works much more for people in a country like Peru, where we have been accostumed to think that there are more opportunities overseas, such as United States or Europe. So, when I say PERU, I am referring to my country, but you can look at it as if I was saying the name of your country. Being said that, I can start with my post.


When some people say: "Opportunities are overseas" because here in PERU (replace PERU by "your country") the only thing we have is misery, poverty, burglars and corrupts, IT IS TRUE, and it has been proven to death! BUT... I ask: If all of us know this already... Why is there so many people who still try to discover something that is already public knowledge?! It's like trying to discover the wheel in this century.

I even think that more people than we imagine, is dedicating their life to share opinions about PERU (replace PERU by "your country"), and HOW BAD it is in all of its aspects, including the economics. And everyday, new people "enlighten" us saying something we all already know...

But they stay there... in an opinion... and as in my first post... "WHAT DO WE DO?"

It is at this moment that those "GREAT MINDS WITH MANY OPINIONS" shut up. They say "it is the government's responsibility" or "it is the private sector's responsibility" or "I don't know, but i'm leaving the country".

I ask... If at this exact moment your computer gets a terrible virus, what would you say?
a) It will fix itself, meanwhile I'll use it as much as I can.
b) I will try to fix it and call a technician, so it works like new.

If the answer is a, then just go and live in another country, leave us, we don't need you. We already have a lot of conformists. The government should PAY for the visas to help you go very far, because if you don't want to give a damn about your country, **** off.

And of course, the personality comes with the person, not with the country. So, if you are a conformist here, you will be one everywhere. Moving to another country, you are just "changing the label, but being the same product"

But, if the answer is b, welcome to the club of entrepreneurship.

Of course, there are always false entrepreneurs, who say they will try to do something, but then get tired or don't get the results they wanted IN THE FIRST DAY, and get frightened and return to their "comfort zone". Well you can leave as well if you want, we don't need you.

Man... Each paragraph, we have less and less population. But, What is PERU (replace PERU by "your country")? Its president or its inhabitants?

If we want to live well, we have to CREATE WEALTH, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES, CREATE SOCIETY, CREATE POLITICS, CREATE FAMILY, CREATE ORGANIZATIONS, CREATE TOURISM, etc...

So this is an invitation to STOP WASTING TIME criticizing what has been done, and giving opinions of the same thing over and over again, when we could be using this time to CREATE THE PERU (replace PERU by "your country") WE ALL WANT...

Progress.. creates or destroys cities?

It's a good question... Yesterday I talked with my friend Diego Vera, and between the emotion of telling him about my trip to Australia and the natural beauty that country has, as well as its industrial development, he showed me a video which he thought was AWESOME. Unfortunately it is in spanish and I have not found a translated one, but if you still want to see it, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcQUtLOhfvQ. It is seriously AMAZING!!!

It's plot is about the end of the cities due to progress. Interesting... And that is why I used this question as title. Because it is important to think and meditate about how us, seeking everyday for more progress, more material things, as if it was a race, as if the world was gonna end, as if we had ignored all the beauties nature gives us and instead, create our own artificial (man-made) nature.

Industry is necessary for the progress of our cities, and is also the cause of the destruction of them. But, without industry, could we survive? Would today's human being throw away the change of having a car, going to the disco with music at max loudness, having a job, buying a better house everytime he can, and, most of all, consume the incredible ammount of electricity which bills don't reflect in their numbers?

Australia has a 21 million population aproximately, and a surface area of about all Europe Together. Maybe that is why there is way much of natural wildlife still existing, but another reason is that its people don't want to see their country devastated by pollution and deforestation. Imagine if that happened, people in other countries could never again say "I wanna go to the land of the kangaroos" because they wouldn't exist anymore.

So then... WHAT DO WE DO?... and one more time WHAT DO WE DO!!!!!!?

That is the hardest question to answer, and still we have a lot of time before the earth's resources deplete, including the oxygen in the air... but this is an answer we would expect from a conformist, isn't it? Why wait for everything to be in red alert, when we can start right now!

I don't have an answer yet, and that is why I write about this, because I know that at least one person is going to read this and will be able to answer it from a point of view he/she finds convenient, and please consider I am open to criticism, but! I also want you to write a solution that comes into your head, and that way we can begin to contribute with our bit :D
