What's a mirror?
At night, when you wash your teeth in front of the mirror, you can see your face. Then you go to sleep. The morning after you wash you teeth again, so you see your face again and it's different from the last face you saw, maybe because of the pillow. Anyway you can recognise yourself because the difference is very slight.
And if this difference was not so slight? Say, you wake up and see a completly different face (with different eyes and nose) in the mirror. Can you recognise yourself? Yes, of course. There's something inside us that allows us to know we are there (in front of the mirror) for any image you can see in that mirror... It's you and you know it.
Therefore, there's a staff inside us (maybe in the brain) which doesn't change over time unlike our body.
PS: Today I've put on the jacket of the last year. This way I'm sure I can recognise me.

Who we are...
The first revolution is when you change your mind. The next step, the hardest one, consists in the coherence between thought and behavior, beliefs and conduct.
In my opinion, it's the usual begin! It happens that someone starts thinking different! I don't know why, maybe we are evolving generation by generation so that we are smarter and smarter or maybe it's a casual phenomenon.
After you have changed your life in better, once you'll have reached a new stable personal equilibrium, you'll be an example for others, or at least you and your ethics can be a sound figure of comparison toward other people's improvement.
By doing so, our revolution will involve first our acquaintances and spread close to us and than it will expand further and further thanks to them. :)

Time is running out
Hi everyone, I'm a student of Economics and I'm chasing the shadow of my goal. Every single minute of my life I fight against time and this very moment is no exception: I have to reach a high level of English by the end of the current academic year,so I have a stringent deadline. Repose also is not an end in itself, but it's necessary, it's a tool for your future work!
Now... I know the system imposes me this kind of life and I know that it's stealing my time, the scarce resource par excellence. So, I would like to ask you: In this world, where the one who hesitates is lost, can you see the escape? If the answer is YES, please, share it whit me.

My full happy days
These days have been really full of emotions! Sunday morning I woke up at 5.30 and I left my sweet island, Ischia, to visit a wonderful city that has inspired a lot of artists and thinkers, Paestum. I walked a street 2800 years old and I stayed inside 3 temples devoted to Cerere, Hera and the big one to Poseidon (In fact the Greek name of the ancient settlement was Poseidonia in honor of the deity). Then I saw all the archaeological finds in the museum near there!
The following day, in the morning I had a placement test (the Cambridge one) at the linguistic center of my University (I would like to get a B2 certificate!!) so I'm still waiting for the results.
In the evening I went to the S.Paolo Stadium in Naples for the Serie A football match. So I understood how big is the heart of Neapolitan people and that it's so big that they often forget they have also a brain.

The power of femininity
Ten days ago I signed up for italki looking for a pen pal or a language partner... During these ten days I have tried to be active within the community. I have published a notebook concerning the Italian immigration problem; I have corrected some writings and above all, I've attempted to contact English users who are learning Italian...
Yesterday my girlfriend Cristiana noticed my concern, so she asked me what the problem was and with the disappointment in my eyes I told her: < I fail to establish a friendship on italki!>.
And she replied with immodesty: < It's natural, you haven't got a vagina>.
