De ce e viata ca o pizza

• Merge foarte bine cu berea
• Fiecare isi pune in ea ce vrea
• Cateodata ti-e pofta dar e prea tarziu in noapte
• Uneori trebuie sa dai la o parte ce nu-ti place
• Trebuie sa-i dai ceva si aluia care ti-a dat-o
• Cate-odata nu primesti ce iti doreai
• Cu cat o imparti cu mai multi cu atat te-alegi cu mai putin
• Indiferent cat costa nu poti renunta la ea
• La sfarsit nu ramai decat cu cateva bucati de paine uscata. Daca esti destul de disperat sa le mananci, ramai doar tu si o cutie maro.
• E imposibil de returnat pentru ca primesti inapoi fix acelasi lucru.
• Iti face foarte bine doar daca esti norocos, mergi la sala si cu n-ai prea multa imaginatie
• Trebuie sa treci de jumatate ca sa te prinzi daca iti place

Si lista poate continua..

Nimic nu se schimba. Si nici macar nu se transforma

“Bugetul trebuie echilibrat,

Tezaurul trebuie reaprovizionat,

Datoria publica trebuie micsorata,

Aroganta functionarilor publici trebuie moderata si controlata,

Ajutorul dat altor tari trebuie eliminat pentru ca Roma sa nu dea faliment.

Oamenii trebuie sa invete din nou sa munceasca in loc sa traiasca pe spinarea statului.”

(Cicero, anul 55 inainte de Cristos)

In concluzie nu s-a modificat nimic de 2065 de ani.
