Why is having a one track mind important?

Tom: 嗨，Lily ,马上过节了，我想给我女朋友买个礼物。

  Lily: 哇哦，你也太贴心了，那... 你打算给她买什么礼物呀？

Tom: 嗯... 我打算给她买个好用的坟地。

  Lily:  什么？坟地？嗯...你...怎么...能这样对待你的女朋友啊？

 Tom:  嗯...我希望她的皮肤越来越好，买个好坟地有什么问题吗？

   Lily:  哦... 这样啊，那个叫粉底，不叫坟地。粉底是化妆品，坟地嘛。嗯...坟地...坟地是埋死人的地方。

Tom: Hi Lily, the holidays are coming soon and I want to buy a present for my girlfriend.

   Lily: Wow, you're so sweet, so... what gift are you going to buy her?

 Tom: Hmm... I'm going to buy her a useful cemetery.

   Lily: What? Graveyard? Um... how... how... can you treat your girlfriend like this?

 Tom: Hmm...I hope her skin gets better and better, is there any problem with buying a good cemetery?

   Lily: Oh... Well, that's called a foundation, not a graveyard. Foundation is cosmetic, cemetery. Well... cemetery... cemetery is where the dead are buried.

エッフェル塔の前でビーチバレー - Beach volleyball in front of the Eiffel Tower -

¡ Al fin en el hotel ! Ayer por la noche he llegado a la ciudad de Guayaquil de Ecuador. El hotel está a pocos minutos del Malecón 2000 . Hace dos meses que he hecho la reserva. ¡Y estoy encantada! Mi habitación es de tamaño grande. Tiene mucha luz y unos grandes ventanales. Tengo un baño muy lindo  y una gran caja fuerte. Lamentablemente la cama no es muy cómoda , pero el televisor me fascina . Los empleados del hotel son muy simpáticos y amables . Me ha atendido una recepcionista que sabía hablar muy bien Inglés. ¡Qué suerte tengo ! 
Me gusta mucho la ciudad. El centro de Guayaquil es realmente bonito y aquí la gente es muy agradable. Hay un restaurante de comida típica muy rico y barato  cerca de mi hotel. 
 El hotel es un poco  antiguo, pero está muy bien conservado. Sin embargo, hay mucho ruido por las noches . Continuamente escucho música y las bocinas  de los autos . Esta primera noche no he podido dormir muy bien, pero la  recepcionista del hotel me ha dicho que mañana me cambiará de habitación para que no me moleste el ruido . Ha sido muy atenta.

CHISTES MEXICANOS

UN HOMBRE CÍNICO.

Every billionaire in the world who is under the age of 30 has inherited their wealth, according to new research by Forbes magazine.

Forbes recently published its World's Billionaires List. And all 15 people on the list who are aged 30 or younger did nothing to create their wealth — they simply received it.

According to Forbes this is the first time since 2009 there have been no self-made billionaires aged under 30. And the magazine says it's a sign that a "great wealth transfer" has begun from aging billionaires to the younger members of their families.

The youngest billionaire on the list is 19-year-old Livia Voigt of Brazil. She is worth $1.1 billion thanks to her late grandfather, who founded the electrical equipment company WEG Industries.

The richest of the young billionaires are the Mistry brothers, Firoz, 27, and Zahan, 25. They are each worth $4.9 billion thanks to their shares in the multi-industry Indian company Tata Sons. They inherited their wealth from their father, who died in a car crash in 2022.

Among the 25 youngest billionaires on the list — who are all aged 33 or younger — a few in their early 30s are self-made. However, just one of those self-made billionaires is new: 33-year-old Shunsaku Sagami of Japan. Sagami is the founder of M&A Research Institute, and is worth $1.6 billion.

One self-made billionaire who is still fairly young at 34 is Taylor Swift, who is worth $1.1 billion. In 2023, she became the first musician to become a billionaire mainly from the money she makes from her music.

Every Billionaire Under 30 Inherited Their Wealth

Dulces que cuentan historias, influencias árabes y españolas que llegaron con la conquista. Los dulces de convento que se fusionaron con la tradición de nuestros antepasados diversificaron la variedad dulce que ahora conocemos. A pesar del surgimiento de empresas de confitería extranjeras que han crecido en nuestro país, las golosinas mexicanas siguen vigentes.
