What is the recipe for a perfect relationship?

In our lives there is probably nothing more important than the quality of our relationships. Our relationships influence directly in the decisions we make and are a large part of our happiness or our sadness. So, what do we have to do to make they work?

According to an article from the online magazine of Veja, the scientists found the recipe for a perfect marriage, it is: the bride has to be 5 years younger than her partner, they must have similar cultural experiences and she has to be more intelligent than him at least 27%. Believe or not, they say your chances to have a good and long relationship will increase by 20%.

From the point of view of the Crescer's online magazine, the secret to keep a happy marriage is more participation of the husband in the relationship, in the children's life and at the housework, what really makes sense.

However, it is important to remember that these are just statistics; they're too distant from a recipe or an exact mathematic calculation, even because if there was a recipe for a perfect relationship, there wouldn't be so many divorces. On balance then, we feel that the most important thing to make a relationship last is to be just who you are, do not change to please anybody and, combined with a bit of flexibility of both parts, the relationship will be successful.

The sport is a strong instrument against the social exclusion; it motivates and occupies the minds of the children and the teenagers, they feel interested to participate and be part of our society. It is also good for the health and it can become a profession. All these positive impacts are the objectives that the project Educando pelo Esporte wants to achieve through the basketball.

The 2014 World Cup is ours.

We were searching for news on the BBC website when we found this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/7068848.stm.

The article is about Brazil being named as the host nation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It also includes a discussion of whether the country will be a good host or not. But we, as Brazilians, we aren't worried about it. The only thing we care is: will it be good for Brazil to host the World Cup in 2014?
According to Super Interessante Magazine "The World Cup gets you poorer. And happier". We think so. The structural investment on this project will be monstrous and the return, not so much. When a country hosts a World Cup, the gains do not cover the expenses with stadiums. However, Brazil will become more visible and in a corrupt country like ours, it will be a forced way to invest in infrastructure. In social terms, the positive impacts of the World Cup will be seen in a long-term, because immediately just the politicians, the teams and their fans will be benefited. If the World Cup gets us poorer and happier, remember that happiness is more important than money and let's enjoy it. Because "Soccer is more than a sport for us, it's a national passion".

The World Cup is ours, and also the inequality.
