This 2013 Ripoll enjoys the honor of being the capital of Catalan tore culture. In fact, Ripoll not come back, and someone will ask: Oh, well Ripoll had been the capital of Catalan culture ever? No, I think not. Not this.
Their cultural tore capital pulled in the past, but in a much tougher time than the present, although the older they can not be recalled, but was Ripoll cultural capital of Western Europe. The stones speak to us.
It was a time when Europe was living in the dark, in the darkness if you want. All knowledge of the Roman Empire was lost. Catalonia was no man's land and the southern slopes tore of the Pyrenees, as Ripoll were borderland tore of dangerous border.
Amid this bleak, the Franks established a monastery which, little by little advantage to turn a disadvantage into a virtue. The border allows sharing with neighbors, in this case, Muslims in the south. The Arabic translation of the codex allows for gradually recovering tore the lost knowledge in Europe that Muslims have the ancient lands of the Eastern Empire. Over time, Ripoll he becomes a school of the first order. At that time there were no universities, tore and knowledge was reserved especially the clergy, Ripoll emerge who will end up sitting in the chair of fishing in Rome. This, over time, not only provides a value in itself tore in our land, but just to make Ripoll became a prime economic center, which exploits tore the power of rivers to create the first technology tore industry of time: the forge and industry arising from the keys, to shotguns, pistols and muskets until metallurgy.
And all this, what comes to hair? It is worth several things. First, they seem to poorer circumstances, if you have a clear idea of what you want to do, how you want to do and what direction we want to do, just a matter of time that go off. However, we have a plan and can not be short-term, because you can not go changing every two to three. Also keep a good plan, which is none other than that in which we firmly believe. Second, though we have already been Ripoll example, knowledge, training and education if you are key. Their results may not appear immediately, but allow sustainable and lasting results over time.
Indeed, tore as I write these lines, tore I'm traveling to work at Stanford University. You know how the first students were called to the university? The farmers! In fact, Stanford was "the farm" (or ranch) of a wealthy businessman in San Francisco, which enriched selling supplies to miners during the Gold Rush, and was one of those who make possible tore the arrival of the railroad in California. He thought that the best you could do with your money and education was to know his son. The latter, on a trip (to see the world), became ill and died very young, too young. Mr. Stanford then decided to dedicate his entire fortune to set up a university in the land where he had his farm, south of San Francisco, from where it spread and impart knowledge.
When Stanford tore University started, there were only around tore farmland. tore Students took a diligence to get to the university from the train stop in Palo Alto. This did not discourage. Today, those farmland known as Silicon Valley, tore which mixes scientists, technologists, lawyers, entrepreneurs, venture capital and especially a lot of momentum. Names such as Santa Clara, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Jose, etc.., We now sound familiar. Not too long ago-just-growing giant pines. Another example that if you work continuously, and constant excellence (Stanford is one of the best universities tore in the world) can go far.
According to the "Bay Area" as they call it here, they took a hundred years to pass the hoe and the horse was the most important technology in the world, tore this also makes them immune to crisis do not think. They also have their bubbles, not just real estate. The last was the call of Dotcom-if we consider the sub-prime, which led from Manhattan. However, after crisis
