This is quite a philosophical question because income has a specific, determined and world-wide meaning, while happiness may differ from one human to another - notice that I said human, because animals don`t struggle with our social duties and psychological issues. I would like to share some great historical quotes to broaden our sense of this concept: "There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path" — Gautama Buddha "Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness" — Bertrand Russell "Happiness is the feeling that power increases — that resistance is being overcome" — Friedrich Nietzsche "The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less" — Socrates "I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them" — John Stuart Mill "The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large" — Confucius

This economic indicator is to compare the salary in different country's, although is main aim is to target the poor % in a certain society and contrasting this data, for example, with uneducated population variables to identify its overlapping.

The green book This film is deep from every angle. I felt like the trip they had driving all over the south east of the country, was actually an inside journey where each of the characters learnt from each other. Since the beginning we get involved as viewers when the star, Tony –performed by Vigo Mortensen- a 40 year old Italian, whose working as a security guard in a nightclub and lives in the Bronx with his family, encounters two plumbers, African American, fixing the drain in the kitchen of his house. Not only did he glance with a disgusted look at his wife offering a glass of lemonade, but furthermore, he threw the glasses away after they drank from them. Sooner than later the nightclub closes, and Tony finds himself entering an eating contest to make some money, 50 bucks, which will pay the rent for what it’s worth. He is already worried about his unemployed situation, and has to pawn his watch to keep himself out of debts. At this point, he gets a call from a friend – Hey Dani, there is a Dr. that’s looking for a driver to take him to his office, you interested? - Yeah, sure – he replied. So when he shows up at the given address, he begins to wonder if he might be at the wrong place. Putting aside his own disbelief, he entered the theatre and asked for Dr. Hans. A lady then told him that he needs to go to the top part of the theatre to meet him. So he took the stairs, filled the sheet of paper he was handed, and waited in the hall with 3 other candidates. Eventually his name was called and he entered the room. The place was full of eccentric objects: paintings, sculptures, art work of all kind, color and shape, even a majestic throne in the middle of the room elevated from the rest of the chamber. Suddenly a black man with a tunica came in and introduced himself as Dr H.

One step at a time. We all have crappy days, and they will keep coming until we learn the lesson: overcoming, getting through bad times, prove ourselves how relentless we are to go for our goals no matter what. I believe that our human psychology gets strenghten by understanding the good that comes from making the effort. Exercising that muscle just makes it bigger and eventually we act fearlessly in life, instead of reacting to things, we feel like we are in control of our emotions at least.

In my opinion, there is an implicit contradiction in doing this that makes it a bad choice. For instance, you may like coffee and you may also like drinking beer, but as we all know they do not belong to the same environment, academically speaking - there's always room for the artist world. The point is that a hobby, by nature, is an activity we should enjoy just for fun, just for the pleasure of doing so, even if that could provide an extra income at some point, it's not the reason why we are spending time on that activity. Building a career implies sacrifice, duty, commitment, projecting a future job or lifestyle. I committed the mistake of doing so at an earlier stage of my life. I decided to make a living from dancing. The passion for your hobby can be so strong that sometimes you might be drawn into it. The human purpose is so vast that aiming it at only one task (job) that can combine: making a living, feeling good about it and self-developing, is pretty damn hard.

I remember when I was young, in Primary school, i had a classmate named Ramiro. He was really funny and chaotic. One time in English class, teacher Alice asked him to read a paragraph of the book we were studying. He refused, because he didn't like to participate in class - he was shy at that time. The teacher insisted that he must read, and warned him with going to the principle's office if he denied. He didn't change his attitude at all and confronted the teacher with his arms crossed in refusal. Alice stood up and grab him by the arm. When approaching the door Ramiro grabbed the door knob to resist. That's when the real pulling begun! Alice took him by his feet while he was grasping with his fingers the door frame screaming: I will not go anywhere!!! -- hilarious

I've just seen a video today about a study conducted by Facebook on the impact in mental illness caused by the use of Instagram. Is quite interesting, if we take into account the opinion of "followers", how misleading this can be in the perception of human reality and the problematic this encompasses. In conclusion the study determined that the platform makes teenagers feel more insecure, dependent, egocentric, with a strong self-image archetype to pursue. There's always room for friends online, but virtual space as a hole is a two way river that can sometimes expose our deep insecurities with no benefit at all, if anything, just exactly the opposite.
