I learned that I need to ask people to step back from their current views of love long enough to consider it from a different perspective: their body's perspective. Love is not romance. It's not sexual desire. And perhaps most challenging of all, love is neither lasting nor unconditional. 2. We tend to think of love in the same breath as loved ones. In reality, you can experience micro-moments of connection with anyone -- whether your soul mate or a stranger. 3. We tend to think of emotions as private events, confined to one person's mind and skin. 4.

Meet the “Poorest President” in the World – Uruguayan President José Mujica Drives a Volkswagen Beetle & Donates 90% of his Salary to Charity. While our Nigerian leaders are being berated for refusing to declare their assets publicly and demanding astronomical pay rise to add to the already exorbitant allowances they receive , the President of Urug uay, is getting world wide recognition and respect for donating 90 percent of his earnings to charitable causes. He has earned what most people would call an enviable reputation as the “poorest,” or the “most generous,” president in the world. His nickname, “ ” translates to “poorest president”. The President said in a recent interview that the only big item he owns is his Volkswagen Beetle car, valued at $1,945 dollars (about N308,283) .
He earns a salary of $12,500 a month (N1,981,250), but only keeps $1,250(N198,125) for himself, donating the rest to charity.

«Je vis dans l’austérité, la renonciation. J’ai besoin de peu pour vivre. Je suis arrivé à cette conclusion parce que j’ai été prisonnier durant 14 ans, dont 10 où si la nuit, on me donnait un matelas, j’étais content», raconte cet ancien guérillero tupamaro, emprisonné sous la dictature (1973-1985). Elu président de l’Uruguay en 2010 sous la bannière d’une coalition de gauche, «Pépé», comme le surnomment les Uruguayens, affiche en effet de solides convictions concernant l’«esclavagisme» moderne consistant «à vivre pour travailler» au lieu de «travailler pour vivre».
