My Primary Color

My primary color is orange. That's mean that I'm a fun lover guy who don't really care about rules. Also, it's mean that I don't like routine at all. I like variety; change and I can't stand a boring situation. I need to move and discover the world in total freedom. Furthermore, it's mean that I'm courageous and I like to take risk, but in other hand I'm not a leader. Finally, my primary color totally discribes me and I'm completely agreed with what they told me.

Three Words To Buy

What do we search when we go shopping? In general, everybody wants a good quality at a great price and an ambiance that will make them in a good mood. That’s why my three favorite places to do shopping are the Polyssons, the Zénith and Wall-Mart. They each have one of those three specific words; quality, price and ambiance which make me want to buy something.

           When I want quality there are no questions in my mind. The Polyssons. Whatever what you’re looking for, they have it. When you first step in, you know that you will not exit this shop with empty hands. The big and shiny racks filled with music promotional clothes will catch your attention for sure. They have so many T-shirt of so many bands that my grandmother could find her own T-shirt style. In this shop, every step you take makes you discover a completely new style. Furthermore, the qualities of their clothes are incredibly high. You could wash one of their T-shirt a thousand of time and the color will stay bright and would not fade away.

            Even if the quality is a huge factor when I do shopping, the price can make me change my mind. When we want the lowest price where do we go? Wall-Mart, of course. The multinational with the most and the best sold in the world. With their inventory incredibly varied, they have everything you can imagine at the lowest price. Also, they have a lot of offers that allows you to buy two items for the price of one. Additionally, they have excellent sold before beginning of each school year for students.
           
            Another place where I love to go because of his ambiance is the Zénith. A grandiose restaurant in my tiny little town. The peaceful music in the background always reminds me the sea and, in the same way, shows that sea foods are their specialty. One can also say that the host and hostess are gentle as their friends. For example, they take care of you and they make sure that your needs are completely filled. For this reason, the service is fast as lightning. Furthermore, the Zénith is the place where people go when they want to celebrate something like a birthday. Consequently, everybody is in a good mood to eat some delicious sea foods.

          In conclusion, those three words make me want to buy something, of course, but on the other hand I will not buy something that I don’t need. That’s why my three favorite places each have one of those three words to satiate my needs. Finally next time you will go shopping search for low prices, good quality and ambiance. You will be satisfied.

Worst Case Scenario

         Did you ever felt so alone that you thought you were dead? Well, it’s happened to me. It was a shinny day without clouds in the Alps. I was climbing for two hours when I made a terrible mistake. I’d place a cam in an unsecure crack and then I fell from thirty feets high. I thought I would die on the impact but a tree amortized my fall. I’ve been unconscious for, at least, one hour and a half. When I finally opened my eyes I immediately felt my painful injuries and I was unable to move my legs. Even if I was in a bad condition, it took me a while to realize that I was totally alone. But when I did, I felt so hopeless and isolated from civilization. I had no cell phone, no medication, no food and no one to help me out. At night, my hope had completely disappeared and replace by fear. I was afraid to die alone in this mountain and never see my family again. And then, I’ve start thinking about how death is. How can I know if I’m still alive if I can’t move? But finally, on the next day, three climbers came to have a nice day in the Alps and saw me lying down where I thought it was my grave.

10 Life Lessons

  1. It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary

When I laughed the most or had the most fun, I was doing simple things. For example, skating on a lake, swimming in a pool, talking with a few friends or simply falling on a slippery step. Those simple things gave me some amazing memories.

  1. There’s nothing to hold you back, except yourself

If you always stop doing what you want because of the other, you will never improve yourself. It’s your life, it belongs to you and nobody can stop you dreaming. So, do what you want and enjoy your life.

  1. Treat others as you would like to be treated

You need to think about the other persons because they think as same as you, they have feelings like you and they’re trying to have a good life like you too. So, don’t crush anybody down if you don’t want to be crushed.
      4.   Follow your dreams
The key to be happy in your life is to do what you always dreamed of. If you don’t, you will feel like something is missing and you will not live your life as much as you always wanted.
      5.   The only way to learn is through action
Life is about mistakes and experience. When you understand that, you start doing things and you don’t worry about mistakes anymore.
      6.   Make a decision and dive in with massive action
Once you make a decision, take action. It will lead you to places that you have never imagined.
      7.   Know what you want
If you know what you want, your life will be easier and you will make better decisions. You will stop going forward and then backward.
      8.   Always look forward
Don’t regret any of your decisions, it’s a waste of time. Move on and do better next time.
      9.   Don’t fear the unknown
Have confidence in yourself at all time and follow your feelings. If you make a mistake don’t worry, because now the unknown is known.
    10.  Take risk
You need to take risk if you want what you always wanted, of course, but don’t take useless risk. Take them on the right time at the right place and you will be satisfied.

What Makes Someone a Hero?

When people think about heroes they automatically visualize someone who did something amazing like save someone’s life. But, to me, it could be just someone who follows his own rules, like Chris McCandless. At first, Chris was a kind person. For example, after four years of university he gave all his money to the OXFAM America Foundation. Also, he tried to help the civilizations of South Africa by fighting against apartheid. Secondly, he had strong perseverance. To illustrate this, he’d never stopped believing in his capacity to survive in wild; even if he died, he never had a doubt in himself. Furthermore, he walked alone for two years through famine and dehydration, but never stopped doing what he had stood for. Finally, Chris had a lot of courage. One example of this is when he bought a kayak and went down the Colorado River to the Gulf of California, almost 650 kilometers, without any experience. Additionally, he left his family; his friends and he burned and gave all his money to live his biggest dream. In conclusion, for me, a hero his someone who will never let his dream fall away and will do everything to live it.
