One of the strange things about human beings is that they value only that which has a price. The free schools of America and the free public libraries do not impress people because they are free. This is a major reason why so many people find it necessary to acquire additional training after they quit school and go to work. It is also one of the major reasons why employers give grater consideration to employees who take home study. They have learned from experience that any person who has the ambition to give up a part of his spare time to studying at home has in him those qualities which make for leadership.
Napoleon Hill, 1938

PS Yesterday i was in Geneva. Nice and expensive has always. A city without wind (see photo), its cold but no wind. Lisbon is a windy city especially in the summer.

PS Portugal has a new austerity package (more taxes and less benefits (education and Health expenses no longer can be discounted)). Goverment and regulation are everywhere. The policy in my country in the last 30 years has been the Goverment will do everything and will guarantee all. Now we have to pay.
