ººVENEZUELAºº

Hi my friend. I am a freelance illustrator with base in Venezuela. Is not new the thing that Venezuela is living the worst crisis we have never had. just to summarize: poverty, an incredible inflation, corruption everywhere (starting in senior government officials), lack of medicine and food... we have a lot of problems. one week ago we had a blackout of 5 days, did you imagine how many people died for this blackout at the hospitals? How can a country develop with this kind of problems? I know, Is not easy but I think that something bad we can transform in something incredible good. People generally put the focus on the most negative pespective of problems and the Venezuelan people ends up being a victim who complains about everything dissatisfied. This crisis is the worst misfortune we have but at the same time is our best blessing, we should overcome this crisis, learn and grow up. So our challenge is change something really bad in a great opportunity to be better that yesterday. It is my view, I mean avoid to complain and work more.

When I feel down I remember the phrase of Albert Einstein:

"We can not expect things to change if we keep doing the same things.The crisis is the greatest blessing for people and nations, because the crisis brings progress. Creativity comes from anxiety as the day comes from the dark night. E 'in the crisis that is inventiveness, discoveries and great strategies. Who overcomes crisis overcomes himself without being 'passed'. Who gives the crisis its failures and difficulties, violent his own talent and gives more value to the solutions to the problems. The real crisis is the crisis of incompetence. 'Inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness in seeking solutions and ways out. Without crisis there are no challenges, without challenges life is a routine, a slow agony. Without crisis there is no merit. In crisis emerges the best of each, because without crisis all winds are only mild breezes. Talk of crisis means increasing it, and be silent in the crisis is to exalt conformism. Instead, we work hard. Let us stop, once and for all with the only dangerous crisis, which is the tragedy of not being willing to overcome."
