MERGETI LA VOT!!!
Dargi Romani de pretutindeni,
Fie ca locuiti in Romania ori oriunde un alt colt al lumii, vreau sa va amintesc ca duminica 6 Decembrie sunt alegerile. Iar mesajul meu are intentia de a va incuraja sa mergeti la vot!!!!
Daca esti unul din cei care motiveaza ca ”nu se merita” ori ”oricum nu am pe cine vota” sau poate ”las´ca merg altii si-i destul” va reamintesc ca este de datoria voatra ca si romani sa va exprimati DREPTUL de vot.
Sunt sigura, ca daca ar fi existat o lege, prin care va priva de dreptul liber de vot, toata lumea s-ar revolta si s-ar plange ca cei de la putere incearca sa va fure. Acum aveti insa acest drept si cu el puteti demonstra ca VOI sunteti cei ce CONTEAZA, va viitorul Romaniei e SI in mainile voastre, ca viitorul Romaniei ESTE in mainile noastre, a tuturor.
Prin exprimarea votului aratati ca va pasa, aratati ca se merita sa luptati pentru tara voastra, ca se merita sa luptati si nu va ascundeti dupa MOTIVE, si lasati pe cei ce vor sa distruga sa va fure orice drept!!! Daca pierdem, atunci stim ca nu am pierdut pentru ca ne-a fost teama sa luptam. Ganditi-va la o realizare personala, obtinuta vreodata. Cand ati avut cel mai mare succes? Cred ca foarte multi pot spune, ca acel succes a venit dupa o lupta continua, dupa o munca in care gandul infrangerii nu exista ori daca exista, importanta era orientata pe succes si pe dorinta de a reusi. Fiecare succes vine impreuna cu o ”lupta”.
Aveti curajul sa ”luptati”. Fiti mandri ca sunteti romani si demonstrati-o!!!
Daca ai peste 18 ani, incurajeaza-ti parintii, bunicii, incurajeaza-ti copiii sa mearga la vot! Daca ai sub 18 ani, demonstreaza-ti puterea de convingere si trimite-ti familia la vot; convinge-i sa lupte pentru viitorul tau, pentru viitorul Romaniei.
Mie imi pasa de Romania, imi pasa de romani, imi pasa de viitorul nostru iar acest mesaj este doar o incurajare pentru cei indecisi sa se informeze si sa-si exprime dorinta la vot, si un mesaj pentru cei deja decisi sa ii incurajeze si pe cei din jurul lor ca se merita.
Nu vreau sa va incurajez pentru cine sa votati, informati-va ca ceea ce stiti despre cei doi candidati sunt informatii sigure si nu doar zvonuri, asa cum multi pretind ca stiu ei de ce nu voteaza, pentru ca au auzit si din dreapta si din stanga ca unul face intr-un fel altu´ in alt fel. Urmariti dezbaterile, confruntarile dintre cei doi candidati si decideti singuri!!
Aveti acest drept, exprimati-l!!!!
Sunt mandra ca sunt romanca, si merg la vot! Sunt mandra de toti cei ce lupta, indiferent de care vor fi rezultatele. Noi ramanem optimisti, suntem romani optimisti :)!
Royal Denmark - a little bit of history
The Danish monarchy can be traced back more than 1000 years. The Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II, is therefore able to count kings like Gorm the Old (deceased 958) and Harald Bluetooth (deceased 987) among her ancestors.
The Nearest Relations
The Queen's nearest family consists of the Royal Consort Prince Henrik, their sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim, Crown Princess Mary married to Crown Prince Frederik and their son Prince Christian, Prince Joachim's former wife now Countess Alexandra and their two sons Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix and Prince Joachim's wife Princess Marie and their son Prince Henrik.
The Danes and their Queen
Danes are proud of their queen and their royal monarchy. Queen Margrethe is widely respected for her intellectual prowess and her artistic abilities as for example illustrator, set designer for the theatre and textile artist. Along with the Prince Consort, the Queen has translated French literary works into Danish and vice versa.
The Role of the Monarchy
Just like in many other monarchies, a discussion of the role and function of the monarchy takes place in Denmark, but the general tone is much more subdued than what has been the case in other kingdoms.

Denmark 'happiest place on earth'
If it is happiness you are seeking a move to Denmark could be in order, according to the first scientist to make a world map of happiness.
Adrian White, from the UK's University of Leicester, used the responses of 80,000 people worldwide to map out subjective well being. Denmark came top, followed closely by Switzerland and Austria. The UK ranked 41st. Zimbabwe and Burundi came bottom. A nation's level of happiness was most closely associated with health levels. Prosperity and education were the next strongest determinants of national happiness. read more
Measuring happiness
He said: "There is increasing political interest in using measures of happiness as a national indicator in conjunction with measures of wealth. "A recent BBC survey found that 81% of the population think the government should focus on making us happier rather than wealthier. read more
The Oprah Winfrey Show - Oprah on Location: The Happiest People on Earth - 10/21/2009
Women Around the World
In October 2009, Oprah traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark's charming capital city, to support Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics. Well, Chicago didn't get picked, but that didn't stop Oprah from enjoying her first visit to the country that's considered one of the happiest places on earth.
For the past 30 years, scientific researchers and survey results have all reached the same conclusion—Danes are consistently happier than the rest of the world. On the "world map of happiness"—a map created by a social psychologist in England—Switzerland, Austria and Iceland rank just below Denmark on the happiness scale. Canada comes in at number 10, while the United States is a distant 23rd.
So what makes the Danes so happy? Oprah met up with Nanna Norup, a resident of Copenhagen, to find out. As they walk down the cobblestone streets, Nanna explains some of the differences between Denmark and America.
For instance, in Copenhagen, people are very environmentally conscious. A third of the population rides bikes around the city, many with grocery bags or small children in tow.
Homelessness, poverty and unemployment are also extremely rare in this nation of 5.5 million people. If you lose your job, Nanna says the government continues to pay up to 90 percent of your salary for four years. And not to worry…healthcare is free for everyone.
The Danish government also takes a special interest in mothers and their children. Women typically get six to 12 months in paid maternity leave. And, when it's time to go to college, citizens get paid to go the universities. "When you go to university, then you get paid $400 or $500," Nanna says. "You have free education. Then, you have healthy, well-educated people in the world. What could beat that?"
Women in Denmark also don't feel pressure to get married. Nanna is 44 years old and single, and she says she didn't grow up dreaming of a bridal gowns and weddings. "It's never been a dream of mine," she says. "I don't think my girlfriends had that dream."
Stine, one of Nanna's friends, says she had three children with her partner before they decided to get married.
Watch as Oprah tours Stine's home in Copenhagen. 
While visiting another family, Oprah discovers one more reason to be happy in Copenhagen—a delicious bread called Rugbrød! "I so love it," Oprah says. "I have a slice every morning. … It's like eating earth."
"The frustrations of modern life, and the anxieties of the age, seem to be much less significant compared to the health, financial and educational needs in other parts of the world." Mr White (on BBC)

The Marshmallow Test
In this reprise of a now-classic Stanford psychological experiment from the 1960s, kids are put in a room with a marshmallow and told they can either eat it immediately or wait until the researcher gets back, and they'll be given a second marshmallow. Hilarity ensues as the kids suffer marshmallow temptation!
But the consequences go deeper: In the New Yorker article "Don’t!" from May that detailed the very same experiment, it turned out that the ones who passed the marshmallow test enjoyed greater success as adults. Said Walter Mischel, the Stanford professor of psychology in charge of the experiment, "What we’re really measuring with the marshmallows isn’t will power or self-control... It’s much more important than that. This task forces kids to find a way to make the situation work for them. They want the second marshmallow, but how can they get it? We can’t control the world, but we can control how we think about it.” read more

Sa zambim impreuna – Daruieste un zambet
