Me inspira el dia a dia. Cada nuevo suceso relacionado con la vida, es una inspiración en si misma. La música es muy importante también en mi vida, al igual que muchos escritores. Este tipo de páginas de internet, es inspiradora, el saber que hay mas gente buscando tu objetivo, y con igual tipo de opiniones. El saber que hay gente que lucha por el bien, o que al menos demuestra interés. ( daha fazlasını okuyun)

I am inspired by an individual’s ability to touch lives, to reach out to people, and to share their knowledge with others. Moreover, I am inspired by every opportunity I have to share my experiences and achieve my goals. ( daha fazlasını okuyun)

I am inspired by things like the "clean city" law in São Paulo that bans outdoor advertising. Not only because I think there is alot of advertising pollution around the world, but because it proves to me that a big change (that I previously would have thought that rich corportations could have stopped) can happen.
Like it has been said, people create change, and we are the people. I think there's a lot of power and inspiration in realising that. ( daha fazlasını okuyun)

The Rideau Canal, a monumental early 19th-century canal covering 202 kilometres of the Rideau and Cataraqui rivers from Ottawa south to Kingston Harbour on Lake Ontario was built primarily for strategic military purposes at a time when Great Britain and the United States of America vied for control of the region. The property, one of the first canals to be designed specifically for steam-powered vessels, also features an ensemble of fortifications. At the start of the project, in 1826, the British chose the so-called "slackwater" technology to avoid the need for extensive excavation. Instead, a series of dams were built to back up river water to a nivagable depth and a chain of 47 massive locks were created. It is the best preserved example of a slackwater canal in North America demonstrating the use of this European technology in North America on a large scale. It is the only canal dating from the great North American canal-building era of the early 19th century to remain operational along its original line with most of its original structures intact. The canal was protected by the construction of six ‘blockhouses' and a fort. Defensible lockmaster's houses were later added at several lock stations and, between 1846 and 1848 four Martello towers were constructed to strengthen the fortifications at Kingston harbour. The Rideau Canal is of historical importance as it bears witness to the fight for control of the north of the American Continent.
