  Truly happiness vs success and ambition, by Mark Zuckerberg

 There are so many theories that try to explain how and why are we here, in Earth. Because we all have things in common, we are human beings and we share a planet.. The question is what do we want from life? What is our goal in life? Why do we grab life?

   Almost everyone wants to be happy, because happiness is what we want to achieve, that is why we always want to live. What is the point of living if we do not enjoy living, but sometimes it seems like it is very easy to confuse happiness with success. Think about it.

   Brainwashing is real, the system we are living in, the media, is money everything? All these things are forcing us to lose the direction, because we sacrifice a lot to get what we want, but we lose everything we can not get from success. 

   I made a huge mistake recently, I had a dream and I did not do it for money, I lost my north. I really thought this idea would make me feel fulfilled, but something was missing. I betrayed my only friend in order to turn my dreams into reality, he was the only person who walked beside me no matter what. I succeed with my project, but in this moment I feel like the most unhappy person in the world.

  Sometimes is money, or power, but is that what we live for? The main problems of this planet are due to ambition; power corrupts people and they start living to make money, leaving everything else aside.
   After the mistake I made, I really doubt I will be able to fill fulfilled, so I have been thinking a lot and environmental issues, social problems, famine, poverty; ambition is responsible for all of these global problems. As I said before, now a days people tend to lose direction and try to buy happiness so then consumerism appears. Buy and buy and buy to be "happy" while in other part of the world someone is dying because he has nothing. This massive amount of things people buy have to be produced, so capitalism appears.
   This massive amount of factories and industries are forcing the planet to die. People are seen like producing machines and this is not stopping until we open our eyes and realize what is really important in life. Family, friends, caring about people around you. In our last days we will ask ourselves, what have I done in my life?, Did I achieve happiness? Do not wait until then or until you make a huge mistake as I did to realize what is really important and what is not.
   There will be always ambition in this world, but you can make the difference, spread the word, spread ideas, do not fall in the system. You, have the tools to be powerful people in the future, use it wisely. Get only what you need to live, help each other as human beings and above all thing be happy.
    Thank you.

Letter to Shea

Dear Shea:

   What I am going to write in this letter is not a threat or an obligation, is a moral advice that will help society and you as a person. I would tell you that you must leave your job if it were illegal, but it is worse than that, you are damaging people and society without being punished. You cover the terrible truth behind your euphemisms watching how society is more blind every day. War is a serius thing and should be communicated as terrible as it is, otherwise war could be consider as something normal without the real impact that it has. In honor of the people who dies in the fields do not hide their reality. There is an endless amount of jobs to help us progress, so why would you like to lie and hide the truth instead of helping? Please, you should really consider leaving your job, of course it is not an obligation, but if you insist from now keep in your mind that every time you see extreme ignorance and lack of information, you are one of the main causes. if some day war becomes a normal issue, the possible colossal consequences will be partially your fault. Remember, information is a right.

                                                                   Aldous Huxley.

8 tips task

1) In this part of the letter there where to many clauses at the beginning so they joined all the clauses in one

Fatelessness writing task

1.-

   Fatelessness has a very important message, but did the author thought in the real message he was transmiting when he was writing the novel?

We may think that when Imre Kertesz wrote fatelessness he never considered the real message that the book has, because the vision of the holocaust we have today, is very different compared with the one we had in the times the novel was written. But in the interview we saw, the author said that when he wrote the story, he knew what he was writing.

    The message in the novel is the defense of the human rights, seriously violated in fatelessnes; and the idea of not repeting the mistakes the humanity did in the past, like the idea of the ideal race of Hitler. Different perople around the world may get message in a different way, but is the same and the author knew what he was transmiting when he wrote the novel.

2.- We see the novel fatelessness as very explicit, and as easy to get the main idea, and although the are a little bit hidden, we think we can get them easily and this can be percieved as an advantage because it is easier to get. But the story involves global cultural issues we rarely percieve, so did we understand the real thing Imre Kertesz wanted us to get.

     That is why we could see this as a disadvantage, everybody wants to be informed of what is happening around us, but when we can not get that because the real message is to hard to understand, it becomes a disadvantage for us. It is also a disadvantage that the novel presents itself as another Holocaust story, because it makes us think that we get the message and point of view expressed in the novel, when maybe it is not true.

3.-   In the novel fatelessness the narratives techniques used force us to put in the main characters place, and the point of view of gyuri changes in the story keeps going on. At the beggining is very naive and full of hope, and it ends in a completely fateless and the difference between the beggining of the story of the end is a very useful technique to make us realize the real effect the Holocaust had in the kid. 

  In this sense the author is very creative to seduce the readers and make the story easier to get. Emotionally speaking, the way it affects our minds, is the result of the creativity of the author and the contrast of the beggining and the end of the story and the new way the main character stars seeing life.

4.- The main theme in fatelessness is the Holocaust, so to unserstant the ideas, it is almost necessary to know what all this is about. We may understand the story in general, but just like in a lot of novels, having context is very important. Without history knowledge of the Second World War, a lot of things that are directly related with this in the story could not be understood by most of the readers. Names, cultures, places that we need to get order to understand what the author wants us to get.

    Of course it is possible to understand the story without the Holocaust and its atrocities, but in that case the reader is not getting the real message of the novel Fatelessness.

Gyuri`s mind

1) At this point, Gyuri stills thinking  like an innocent child. He sees things in a very positive way.

2) 13 years old chilren focus in things they are interested in, like videogames. This is because they usually focus thing that can provide fan, so they in general see things they have fan with.

3) He mixes his feeling with language, so he focus things in a more positive way than he shouls, in a naive way.

4) It is not reliable at all, he shows everything with a lot of hope, while the theme of the book is fatelessness.
