It is affecting the biodiversity in the world because every year different kinds of animals are becoming extinct.<br /> <br />I am determined not to only make an impact in my community, but also slowly move up and implement that impact into someone else's mind so that it can spread around the world until we reach a point where everyone will take this as a serious matter.Arnaldo Dos Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763274155209807096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338134429338474752.post-5722784725415166902012-03-22T12:58:23.394-07:002012-03-22T12:58:23.394-07:00FDU Conference: “What Matters in Today’s World?”

This makes my heart burn and my head spin because it is almost impossible to put this feeling into words. <br /><br />The time has come to stop thinking that the world revolves around one single person and that there is only one country, one continent, and that as long as “I am in a good situation, I do not care about anybody else”. The time has come for the whole world to value what really matters in life. Let's worry and support causes that really matters to make our world a better place for us and for future generations. We support so many things: Football and Hockey teams, strikes, and mainly ourselves. For a long time, humans have chosen to step back, wasting time with non-noble causes; the time has come when we need to complain when something horrible takes place around the world – and to stop it.<br /><br />Let's ask ourselves: What really matters? Let’s shake off our selfishness and think about the other. Let’s help all those who need our help.Willian Guilhermehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470293946640393401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338134429338474752.post-89549485659837875372012-03-21T21:14:33.759-07:002012-03-21T21:14:33.759-07:00Badr Alireza and Steven

Can we define who we are? A simple question but no definite answer, our race, our religion, our qualifications, our name, our age, etc. does these define ourselves? The definition we are giving to ourselves is not really ours, it is definition of our body.My topic is identifying us. What matters the most is, knowing ourselves.Moninder Sangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192704580646328613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338134429338474752.post-23025236491919539792012-03-21T12:58:08.609-07:002012-03-21T12:58:08.609-07:00-Gagandeep singh

We are in stress, in tension for tomorrow that’s why we are always busy in earning and saving for tomorrow and while saving for the future and having enough for present still we are lacking peace of mind. Birds don’t have stocks of food for tomorrow but they still use to sing songs when they leave their nests in the morning even they don’t know from where they will get their food and will they get or not? In the evening they return to their nests while singing songs, they feed their children and sleep without wasting energy and time on thinking about an uncertain future which we cannot predict. Amazingly they have peace of mind which we also wish to have but we don’t know the ‘WAY’ of achieving it.Gagandeep singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218528541296577453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338134429338474752.post-35664649042031063332012-03-20T19:10:39.119-07:002012-03-20T19:10:39.119-07:00Yes, colors do affect our emotions - and well bein...Yes, colors do affect our emotions - and well being!
