Relationship and the internet



Relationship and the internet

A year ago, I was given a book called "love on the internet" and talks about stories of people who met through "Chats" on the computer in different parts of the world, but the book also talks about stories of people who were assaulted and abused for having an encounter with a supposedly loving couple who met through internet.
In my opinion the internet is an indispensable means for the technological world in which we live, but must be used carefully because there are many bad people who use your personal information or pretend to be a good prospective partner then abuse your trust. The Internet, in my opinion, is not the appropriate way to meet the person  that you want to have a relationship

His biological parents later marry and have a daughter, the novelist Mona Simpson, whom Steve would not know until adulthood. Within the new family Steve grew up with his other sister, Patty. His father, Paul Jobs was a machinist for the state railway company and his mother a housewife.
Steve Jobs was an entrepreneur and business mogul in the computer industry and the American entertainment industry. He was co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. and maximum individual shareholder of The Walt Disney Company.

My opinion about diets



My opinion about diets

I believe that to have a healthy life we ​​must make a diet combining diet high in fiber and low fat diet because it is important that whatever we eat, we need to consume fiber products, however lead a low-fat diet will make our veins and arteries are not obstructed by the fat and blood can flow better by the body.
A diet high in fat and protein is not a diet that I would do personally and never would, but I know people who have done and get very good results, but I think that has bad consequences long as there will be over of fat in the body and will not have enough vitamins and minerals we need in the body that are forbidden on this type of diet.
Now on the other hand I think that having a vegetarian diet is not as accurate as we need a balanced diet and we need protein from animals.
Undoubtedly, to have a healthy life also need to make a good exercise routine and drink plenty of water during the day.

Good and bad driving



Good and bad driving

I think there are good and bad drivers. There are people that since they have driven a car do it with great caution and care, respecting all road signs and speed limits, respecting each and every one of the walkways and driving without acting on the defensive, they give the step whenever they can and usually take it easy some other bad actions of car drivers.
Other people normally handle change on the defensive, they always want to arrive early to your destination without having prepared ahead of time so you do not respect traffic lights, signs, walkways, other cars, much less speed limits.
There are also drivers who have both situations, are respectful and careful with your driving but sometimes handled quickly and that makes them corrupt any speed limits or traffic signal.
