Crisis y Oportunidades

En el idioma chino, la palabra “crisis” (危机, weiji), se compone de dos ideogramas:

• Wēi (危) que se traduce como “peligro”.
• Jī (simplificado: 机, tradicional: 機) que, entre varias acepciones (máquina, avión, punto crucial, etc.), se puede traducir como “chance” u “oportunidad”.

Ante una crisis tenemos dos opciones: o nos atemorizamos y deprimimos al verla de manera pesimista sólo como una señal de peligro fatal, o nos decidimos con optimismo y coraje a sacar el máximo provecho de las oportunidades que tal circunstancia encierra.

Religión

Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

Revolution

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
Tou tell me that it’s evolution,
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Don’t you know that you can count me out.
Don’t you know it’s going to be alright,
Alright, alright.
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can.
Ut if you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait.
Don’t you know it’s going to be alright,
Alright, alright.
You say you’ll change a constitution
Well, you know
We all want ot change your head.
You tell me it’s the institution,
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao,
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
Don’t you know it’s going to be alright,
Alright, alright.

The Beatles
