Live an examined life

Here are 10 important things I learned in life:

1.       The first step to a great life is to respond to circumstances instead of reacting to them.

2.       A true friend is the one who tell me the truth with the intent to help me get better.

3.       When it comes to personal finance what really matters is what I do with what is left at the end of each accounting period.

4.       True fun in life comes when I practice creative leisure.

5.       The two biggest sources of wisdom are the Bible and Nature.

6.       People are attracted to socialism because it offers something for nothing.

7.       There was a price I had to pay for my freedom and now I see that price was well worth compared to the cost of mediocrity.

8.       The greatest bargain I ever got was to buy a book in 1992 for ten dollars.

9.       The world does not lack knowledge, it lacks truth and common sense.

10.   Just about everyone wants to lead yet few take the time to prepare for it.

I dare you to share it!

Did you know this about the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church should publicize all the good it does around the world, since the media are only concerned with spreading pedophilia scandals (which certainly have to be and are being combated).

DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

Many people do not know that the Catholic Church is the largest charitable institution on the planet. If the Catholic Church left Africa, 60% of schools and hospitals would be closed. When the AIDS epidemic broke out in the US and the authorities did not know what to do, the church nuns were invited to take care of the sick because no one else wanted to do so. In Brazil, until 1950, when there was no public health policy or government health assistance, it was the charity houses of the Catholic Church that looked after people who could not afford a hospital.

The Catholic Church maintains in Asia:

1,076 hospitals;

3,400 dispensaries;

330 leprosariums;

1,685 asylums;

3,900 orphanages;

2,960 kindergartens.

In Africa:

964 hospitals;

5,000 dispensaries;

260 leprosariums;

650 asylums;

800 orphanages;

2,000 kindergartens.

In America:

1,900 hospitals;

5,400 dispensaries;

50 leprosariums;

3,700 asylums;

2500 orphanages;

4,200 kindergartens

In Oceania:

170 hospitals;

180 dispensaries;

1 leprosarium;

360 asylums;

60 orphanages;

90 kindergartens

In Europe:

1,230 hospitals;

2,450 dispensaries;

4 Leprosy;

7,970 asylums;

2,370 kindergartens

Regardless of religion, it is necessary to recognize that the CATHOLIC CHURCH, criticized and judged for doing nothing, lives to help others. Do you know why it is being judged? No advertisement, because it is not a Catholic value to publicize charity. Only those who is part of the Catholic Church, know when the good it is being done.
