You are my father Many times I wonder why each person has his own personality. I would like to know how my personality has been created, what people have influenced me or what situations have been critical to my behavior. As I see it, our personality is created in the childhood and in the adolescence. Therefore, the people who are more important to us in that period, such as our relatives, teachers and friends, will create our personality traits. People usually say to me that I resemble my father, and they are right. During the years I have realised that the way I think is very similar to my father’s. Even we walk and move doing the same movements. I have taken many things after my father. But I have taken after of my father a trait that I am really proud: the serenity. My father is a doctor and he has been working many years in the emergency room. Every day he had to face very tricky situations and come home to take after my sister and I the next morning. He learnt that he should take advantage of good moments and don’t waste time worrying about unimportant things. Just looking at him I understood that life is full of bad moments but I should enjoy the good ones. It doesn’t make sense to waste the whole life worried, because the bad situations, one day, will arrive.

Wrinkled fingers Do you think wrinkled fingers could be an evolutionary adaptation? When is it an advantage to grip things in wet conditions? In my opinion, wrinkled fingers are an evolutionary adaptation of the mankind. From my point of view, all the features of the human being have evolved during the years. Then the question is what are the advantages of having wrinkled fingers. When we spend much time under the water, we can see that our fingertips begin to wrinkle. So we can think that this change will help us to work in wet conditions. Although I am not a scientist specialized in this stuff, I think wrinkled fingers have nothing to do with making our fingers better in those conditions. As I see it, our body is always adapting to different wheather conditions, therefore we suffer many changes constantly. Some of those changes are important changes to ensure our life, and the other changes are side effects of the main changes. As a result, I can’t claim whether wrinkled fingers let us gripping things in wet conditions or they are just a side effect of other unknown and more important change.

Airports I hate airports. I known that travelling by plane is the best way to visit countries which are very far from where I live. Anyway, I loathe them. If I focus on the disadvantages of using planes as a means of transport, I will find several inconveniences. It is a really stressful experience. You must be in the boarding place on time. So you should arrive at the airport at least two hours before boarding time. You have many exciting things to do. I always hesitate about my luggage. I am very nervous until I pass all the luggage and hand luggage conditions. Besides, I get quite tense while I go through the metal detector. It might be the worst moment. And when you finally arrive in the boarding place and you search your flight number in the information panel, you can read: Flight delayed. It is a good idea carrying on some magazines or a book if you are going to an airport. If I am in Spain I usually read some news on my cell phone, but I can not do it abroad because it is very expensive.

What is important in my own life right now? I am a 32-year-old man. I work as a teacher in a secondary school and I live with my wife.

Finally, another important aim to me is to keep doing sport, such as cycling and running.
