Colombian here. Maduro wasn't the leader of a country; he lost the elections and became a cruel dictator. He led a regime that murdered, tortured, and disappeared thousands of people, turning Venezuela into a narco-state run by the ELN and other paramilitary groups. It may not have worked in other areas, but the US intervention in Panama, which resulted in the capture of another dictator, Noriega, transformed Panama into the fastest-growing economy in Latin America (6% average annual growth). Poverty fell by 60%, and today it's a very prosperous country. I can assure that there will be massive celebrations today by all our Venezuelan brothers and sisters living in Latin America.
Edit: I just discovered that Noriega was also captured on January 3rd.
Thanks for the suggestion, Initially I had the texts of the quotes below the designs but removed them in favor of a clean layout. But thinking about readability is better to add them again.
It's a bit sad to make such a decision when you're almost 80. Realizing the importance of time with your family so late gives you so little time.
A few years ago, I read about the regrets of dying people, and many of them related to spending more time with their families... That was one of the reasons I decided to close my company last year (after 20 years; I'm 45 now) and start over, working with just a few customers, making less money but having more time. Now, I only work part-time to have the chance to spend more time with my loved ones.
Twitter or FB are not the best channel, but it's not easy to gain traction in any medium without a well stablished community, haven't tried other social networks yet, which one do you think could be better ?
- If you have sleep apnea that might explain why you wake up in the middle of the night, and there are treatments you could try.
- Wearing ear plugs (the ones that look like a screw) has helped me a lot, but I have to cut them to be able to sleep with them, since they do protrude from the ear and are uncomfortable.
- There's a simple trick to fall sleep again in the middle of the night:
Set a specific time in the morning to write down the thoughts that worried you the most, with possible solutions.
When you wake up in the night, think that you will attend your thoughts only the morning at the time you have specified, with some time you will see how you can fall sleep easier.
(This is part of the solutions to attend the rumination thoughts)
- I highly recommend you watching this podcast with Matthew Walker, which is one of the most important scientist in this matter:
