Most people missunderstand that the main focus in their lives are themselves. A day isn't a opportunity to reach a higher level in your favourite videogame or watch the new film which has just been released, but a opportunity to improve ourselves and go a step further from we are to our best versions.
ResponderEliminarAs I could hear in a interview to a famous person who encourages people to deal with procastinating and not being disciplined, he said how big would our dreams be if we knew we couldn't fail. This simple quote made me think about where I am and where I would like to be. It isn't a fast process, but an important one, and it's that simple that if you work all the days in a week, you win the week; if you work all the weeks in a month, you win the month; if you work all the months in a year, you win the year; and if you work all the years in your life, you win the life.
Even though you aren't able to display the best version of you everyday, or you can't work with the same intensity, the most important thing is to not stop. I prefer walking a step each day to reach Madrid from now, than regret in the future not had been capable to visit it.

I think the octopus farming is sustainable, because it is a great solution to keep them.
ResponderEliminarThe gulf of Mexico is warming because of the climate change and the investigators want to take models of their conditions in a similar pools, because in the future there will be a smaller number of octopus by climate change. Another reason is extensivefishing, apart from the warming of the sea and people prefer working in the breeding station. And finally, in the breeding station, scientists can control the breeding of octopus.

Octopods are an order of octopodiform cephalopod mollusks commonly known as octopuses. Like other cephalopods, the octopus has bilateral symmetry, with the mouth and beak located at the central point of its eight limbs. In my opinion, octopus are animals very flexible because they can put for tyny holes and they're soft. IN summary, I don't like this animals becuase They make me sick and repulsive.

ResponderEliminarI think farm octopuses are good because if the temperature of the water rises because of global warming, they won't lay many eggs and they if scientists breed them, they won't disappear.
