Life After Work – Daily Observation

Will I ever retire?

After some years that were dire,

My health is now fairly good

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Sem um mapa à mão, a gente acerta também o caminho. É verdade que tudo se torna bem mais trabalhoso. Todavia, o senso de orientação que se tem, não nos faz ficar muito tempo presos à coordenadas que nos apontam o caminho a serem seguidos. Seguir o reto é o que deve ser feito. A teimosia de muitos é pegar caminhos secundários. O caminho mais curto, parece sempre mais vantajoso. Às vezes é, às vezes, não vale a pressa que se tem. O oposto ainda é preferível. Algumas horas cansativas, valem bem mais pelo resultado esperado do que, cultivar um tempo que nos é inútil. O trajeto é o mesmo para todos. O problema é que, a gente dobra em ” esquinas erradas”, e o relogio só corre a favor do tempo.

Ancient Britons built Stonehenge – then vanished. Is science closing in on their killers? | Jonathan Kennedy | The Guardian

It was these Anatolian immigrants who constructed that icon of Britishness, Stonehenge, between about 5,000 and 4,500 years ago. But not long afterwards, they vanished and were replaced by another genetically distinct population group who were taller and fairer. The newcomers were nomadic pastoralists from the Eurasian steppe, where they used cutting-edge technology – horses and wagons – to raise herds of animals. About 5,000 years ago, these steppe herders began to migrate westwards through northern Europe, reaching the British Isles half a millennium later. The Amesbury Archer was one of the new immigrants. His 4,300-year-old grave was discovered by builders a couple of miles from Stonehenge in 2002. Source: Ancient Britons built Stonehenge – then vanished.
