“The life is our largest blessing,
The death is our only limit!”

When I was about 10 years old, I heard this sentence for the first time, and I had never forget...
She became the sentence of my life, not only to reach my objectives independent of their difficulties but also to recognize the great present that is to live.

Therefore, to live is my largest inspiration.


What are the elements of your ideal world?


The things that came to my mind were:

A world with peace, without discriminations (social, religious, racial,...), with social and economical development for all countries, without violence...
Though I better stop thinking because, unhappily, everything seems like Utopia and I don't like to think in Utopian things...

In a litle time ago, I learnt that always we have the choice : We can be part of the problem or we can be part of the solution. So, It´s clear that if you only show the problems without the possible solutions or only imagine the ideal world, we’ll be part of the problem…

On that thought, I wonder what would happen if all of us realized that the solution is in our hands!
It is serious! And the keyword can be love!
I begin to live with love, to treat the people with love, to do my work with love, make decisions with love, use in each attitude of my life some love, I will modify the world around me. It can be a "small world", but I will...
But if each one of us, and mainly if people that have the power of a simple community to a whole nation made that,...

Each painel participant had to do five questions, and this questions would be changed as needed.
So, these are the questions that I submited:


Questions to Student Underground Youth Panel



Question:

1)We can’t deny the Internet impact to the people daily life around the world. According to this, choose the item that most change your life:
Answers:

b) way of learn

c) way of comunicate / relationship

d) facilities: way of going shopping / going banking

e) the Internet doesn’t change my life



Question:

2)We know that the term “Internet is for everybody” is only a dream, mainly to the poorest social class. So, in your opinion, what is necessary to happen in order to bring near the Internet to anyone:
Answers:

a) cheaper computers (hardware and software)

b) free, faster and a higher quality Internet access

c) it’s need to stimulate the use of Internet and all of its resources in schools, mainly in public schools of the low purchasing power society

d) events that spread the use of Internet resources, such as, television programs and put Internet access in public places



Question:

3) The Internet represents a revolution to the business process, for sure the “e-business wave” wil bring consequences to the world economy. In your opinion, what will they be:

Answers:

a) economic development to underdeveloped countries, because it will make easy the business process between different countries

b) economic development and advantages only to high tech countries

c) increase the social inequality mainly to underdeveloped countries, because the world competition will bring income concentration

d) it will produce new jobs, so there will be a better income distribution and it will bring the Internet resources to the daily life people in any country



Question:

4) What pair of virtue is most important for you:

Answers:

a) intelligence / solidarity

b) patience / tranquility

c) ambitious / wisdom

d) humility / sincerity

e) honesty / courage



Question:

5) The violence is a serious social problem to all countries around the world. It degrades the life quality mainly in big cities. In your opinion what is the best solution to this:

Answers:

a) change the education, discouraging all kinds of violence ( films, joke, toys, etc.)

b) create a better social political program that provide education, health, jobs, etc.

c) stimulate the sport practice mainly in poor society

d) more security, increase the police force and create more severe laws



But only one of these five questions would be chosen to the painel questions, so my first question was: In which aspect the Internet more modified your life? Would it be in your business world? Education world? Your daily life (relationship, going shopping / banking) ? Didn’t it change anything?



And the reason could just be given with the following question: Would you get to imagine a world event as big as Planet Project without the use of the Internet?



But, it was really difficult to choose a question. There are so many things that not only me, but everybody want to ask to the world, to have the world opinion, and mainly, to compare these opinions.


So, my first step, was to wonder what is affecting and, especially, it can come to cause an impact still larger hereafter in the people's daily life all over the world. And besides, thinking about it using my life, my experience of life…
