John Forbes Nash.

John Forbes Nash is a Mathematician who was born in June, 1928 in Bluefield, Virginia. We currently know him because of the film "A beautiful mind" which is based on his life. Let's talk about him:

In his early life, he was a lonely child, in fact, they say that his main feature was his egocentrism. He didn't play with othe children, he just spent most of his time reading. When he was fourteen he began to be interested in maths and chemistry, then, on 1942, he went into school for first. He was going to study for being an engineer, however, he changed his opinion (with his teacher's help) when he saw his incredible abilityfor Maths, then, he accepted a scholarship for doctorate in mathemathics. On 1957 he met Alice, the girls who was going to be his wife, he spent a great time, but then, a year after their marriage he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, since that moment, all changed. Being only 30 years old, he began to have hallucinations, at first, he believed it was all truth, but he inally found the way of living with it by knowing that the things he saw weren't real.
Nowadays, he is still alive with 84 years old of life, 84 years for giving us a lot of his knowledge of mathematics but also, like theories that we can currently use in our lives like "The Nash equlibrium".

As I've said before, there's a lovely film about his life, so, if you want to know more, let's see it. In addition of being interesting, it have a lot of social messages to give us, messages about love, fellowship, and about fighting for our lives and being ourselves. I think we all must see that film, he deserve it, we deserve it.

The music of today.

Every century the music suffers an enormous change,  we can't compare the music of today to music twenty years ago.Of course there are groups which are trying to keep the wonderful style of the 80's but maybe they aren't that famous. It seems like we've change the sound of a guitar for the sound of a machine, that's not a bad thing but i think we need to balance.

An interesting thing is that almost 80% of the music that we listen on the radio is in English and almost the 69% times we don't understand what the song is telling us. We must search the lyrics and try to translate it, a song needs both things, music and lyrics, all together. Despite of it, i would like to hear music in another languages. By the way, what about Spanish music? hen you ask Spanish people about Spanish music, the biggest part of the people answer that it's the worst one. I want to believe that they don't really know what they're saying, maybe they have listened the worst songs, I just don't know it, maybe it's me, maybe i'm an alien.

Music is a wonderful, magic and essential thing in our human life, as they say, "Every moment has its music" We've to try to give a chance for every kind of music, only to try, because maybe we are loosing the opportunity of finding our own style by following the ot
hers. We must open our ears to the explosion of art and creativity, we can't just listen the music that they put us in the habitual radio. If you really love music, you have to search, you have to find yourself in music and never stop discovering it. Then you'll be able to tell us where you are in the music world and which is your place knowing that you aren't wrong.
