'' Me disseram que ter um filho e abrir mao da bagunca ia ser dificil, que encarar uma sociedade hipocrita por ser mae aos 17 anos ia me pedir forcas infinitas. Falaram da expectativa, das noites mal dormidas e da juventude perdida, mas nunca me contaram da felicidade infinita, que cada sorriso que eu ganho vale mas que uma balada .. Agora eu sei por que nunca gostei de ouvir, as pessoas falam demais, criticam demais.. por isso temos sempre duas opcoes: Reclamar ou simplesmente ser feliz. EU ESCOLHI.. ''s2. Hey everyone, I found this video on Learning English bbc.com about some idioms with the color RED. It's sort of silly, but I liked it!!! Also, you can find other short videos with other idioms and other colors. Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/theteacher/2009/03/090312_teacher_colour_red.shtml I found a video on ted.com about being wrong. The name of the speaker is Kathryn Schulz and she's a journalist. She calls herself a "wrongologist". I thought it was simple and interesting. I hate being wrong! And I guess most of us also hate to be wrong about something.

It's interesting to notice that he maintains his opinion about going nuclear, in spite of all the threats we know nuclear power can bring about.

Jacobson, an environmental professor, who's against nuclear energy, as he says on the debate: "we don't need nuclear energy". I have to agree with him. Here's something he wrote about the disaster:The nuclear option: Safety concerns are only one big reason wind and solar betterBy Mark Z.
