Brazilian
society
is
made
up
of
a
confluence
of
people
of
several
different
origins,
from
the
original
Native
Americans,
with
the
influx
of
Portuguese
colonizers,
Black
Africans
slaves,
and
recent
European,
Arab
and
Japanese
immigration.
Other
significant
groups
include
Koreans,
Chinese,
Paraguayans
and
Bolivians.
In
the
19th
and
20th
centuries,
Brazilian
culture
has
promoted
racial
integration
and
mixing.

“
For
the
first
time
in
Brazilian
history,
social
policies
have
begun
to
explicity
promote
social
integration
of
blacks
and
multtos.
Such
policies
do
not
merely
seek
to
eliminate
or
alleviate
material
poverty
but
also
strive
to
eliminate
or
reduce
class,
racial,
gender,
and
other
dicriminations...”

The
financial
crisis
that
began
in
2008,
and
the
efforts
to
remedy
it,
lay
bare
a
troubling
dichotomy.
Our
economy
depends
on
increasing
levels
of
consumption
to
maintain
its
health.
However,
the
planet
we
live
on
is
finite.
Decreased
consumption
that
has
resulted
from
the
crisis
is
a
blessing
for
ecosystems
and
dwindling
resources.
However,
it
has
also
led
to
rising
unemployment
and
all
of
the
related
negative
social
result
of
increased
unemployment
levels.

Choosing
the
right
career
can
be
difficult,
but
having
a
defined
career
direction
will
help
you
with
getting
a
job.
But
with
a
little
hard
work,
some
planning,
and
some
serious
self-reflection,
you
can
set
yourself
on
a
path
towards
a
fruitful,
fulfilling
career
that
can
provide
for
you
and
your
family.

We
are all busy. Life happens. There’s always something to distract us
from getting around to certain things we know we should do. Soccer
practice. Work. Home renovations. Getting that next big promotion.
And with the explosion of always-on smartphones and tablets
delivering a fire hose of urgent emails, not to mention Twitter and
Facebook, in recent years, things have only gotten busier.
In
the backs of our minds, we know we’re neglecting some stuff we
should do. But we never get around to it. Then, something happens. A
good friend or loved one – maybe close to us in age – drops dead
unexpectedly. We begin to think about what our biggest regrets would
be if we were suddenly sitting on our death bed.

Regrets
like theses can become a constant reminder of “what could have
been”. But it doesn't have to be that way. Regrets can also
enlighten and be an incentive for new opportunity. Here's how that
might happen:
- Conquer your negative emotions;
- Use your regrets to motivate yourself to take a different action.
- Antecipate future regrets before you make major decisions.
- Use regrets to learn more about what's important to you.
- Make your 'woulda, coulda, shouldas' works for you.”
