Parting.

"Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,That I shall say good night till it be morrow" 
 Shakespeare  knew. Parting is always bittersweet. It is not only when you're leaving for good,
 it is as well when you're leaving for short period of time.
I think this is due to the fact that leaving is always separate ourselves from the comfort of the known, usual routine for something new, exciting and unexpected. And if when you're 20 the question if the unexpected and new is more desirable than the routine is utterly rhetorical, when you hit 30 this starts to be a question that wants an answer.

So, so long to the new at all cost. We start calculating if change is worth it. We start calculating the consequences of our decisions, and to consider the probabilities of success.

Basically, getting older means becoming a mathematician!

How the Economic crisis is influencing our thoughts.


During the course of last years, whilst the job offer drastically reduced, I noticed a very worrying trend in the Western world. As if all the conquests made in the late 1800 and at the beginning of the last century were forgotten or, what is worst, considered not as important anymore.

I decided to try to analyse scientifically the extend of this new trend. It might be only a pessimistic but unrealistic interpretation of our time.

For this reason, I created the following survey: it is very simple, it just gives me an overview to begin a deeper research https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TBkqzBzGqW8o6UJ5rg97TwzwKBLTB7JrWHizPSjAvd0/viewform

I would be very grateful if you, reader, would like to participate!

How does the Economy changes our perception of the job?



I would like to analyse if the present economic crisis changed the perception people have about jobs. It is still considered as a right, or it is viewed as a precious and undeserved gift?
