What To Follow – BigThink
In this IT world where information is easy to reach one of the difficult, yet most important, taks is to pick and choose which news to read, which youtube channels to subscribe or which facebook pages to like and follow.
To help you in this process today I wanted to share a youtube channel that I’ve subscribed and followed for some time already. It’s called BigThink and it’s description is “Blogs, Articles and Videos from the World’s Top Thinkers and Leaders”. I recommend you to visit both their website at bigthink.com and their youtube channel at youtube.com/user/bigthink.

Cool New Quote – “Audaces fortuna iuvat” – “Fortune favours the bold”
Tody I came across a quote that stated:
Audaces fortuna iuvat
Which when translated into english becomes something like: “Fortune favours the bold” (or in Portuguese: “a sorte favorece os audazes”). Honestly I really like it! … and … I had to add it to my “Quotes” list

KIVA – Together we can change the world
Last week, after my first loan, I decided to get more involved with KIVA and spread the word a little bit! After thinking on what to do for a while I:
- Became a “Registered KIVA Speaker”
- Created a Kiva Lending Team for my hometown (Vale De Cambra) – http://www.kiva.org/team/vale_de_cambra
- Organized an Event – “1º Kiva Dinner @ Vale De Cambra”
The idea behind the event was: Spend good time with friends and … each of the participants will leave 1€. So that all of us together we can make a loan. But, for me, as important as the loan itself is the fact that I managed to get person’s attention for a couple of minutes and explained them about KIVA.
After all - It was a great success! Together we managed to make a loan to Johnny Karanja from Kenya and will probably have enough money to make a second one.
Total gathered:
- 25€ Received
- 10€ To be received soon
- Totalling: 35€
Some extra numbers:
- Number of persons contacted: 100+
- Number of persons who contributed: 35
