What do we love to do?

Hi all!  I've been quite busy these past days and the quantity of publications in the blog has decreased, but here I am again!

Yesterday the spanish football league finished and therefore, some teams stay one more year in the first division, some go to european competitions next year and of course, some of them go into the abyss of the silver category.

Happiness and pain, two curious feelings both present in players' and coaches' hearts these days.

I can't imagine these football coaches and players spending all their lives working hard, training everyday, studying strategies, watching matches and so on without a complete devotion to the sports' world.

So, why there's some people that work on what they love and so many people working on what they hate. Why these people complain continously because they dislike their jobs? Why they don't choose any other job?

For sure, we all are good in some fields due to our education and experience.
I've just read in  Expansión.com a really interesting article. One of those articles that make us think twice about our role in the game of life. What do we love to do?
Maybe the answer to this question will lead us to establish a new path in our life and try to work in the same field we're good at, and make our passions our way of life.

A buyer's choice

Crisis, time to change, time to evolve, time to buy a new car. Yep! That's what my father's doing right now, visiting all the car dealers in Alicante region in order to find a suitable car.

And now comes the choice: diesel or gasoline?

Diesel engines costs around 1200 € more than their equivalent in gasoline, so the question is, how many kilometers should I do till I cover the investment?

If you want to know it: it's around 40.000 km. So diesel is the best choice if you want to save money on fuel. On the other hand, repairs are more expensive on diesel engines than in gasoline ones. But anyway, you'll be saving much more money on fuel than on repairs, God willing.
