Because everybody makes choices, and most choices influence others.
And, therefore, you try to influence others in accepting your choices
Well- not that much original: somebody called Aristotle wrote that long, long ago- everybody is a political animal, i.e. belongs to a community
In our virtual times… belonging to 100 communities seems sometimes easier that belonging to your own physical community- where you live.
If you want to read something about how I think that anyone can be an everyday politician- read a (short, promised!) article here : http://tinyurl.com/lftjyw
With some practical instructions
But I walk the talk… and my small everyday political contribution, following my own article is… today I completed and released the first draft of the Dutch grammar in Italian
Belgium is a country with multiple national languages- so, shouldn’t we foreigners living here do at least an effort to do so? I already knew French, so I started with Dutch when I decided to stay and work here
I already released the first draft of the first 232 pages of the grammar, except part on the syntax and the appendixes.
If you speak Italian, have a look http://tinyurl.com/km9hqn (it is a 1.4 MB Acrobat file), covering: spelling, verbs, nouns, articles, pronouns.
But the concept is simple: look around you, and you will certainly find something that is worth doing- for something more useful (to others) than simply sharing your thoughts.
The full version, including the missing last section, appendixes and table of contents, plus any revision, will be available online only at the website- I will not get a penny: I transferred the rights for the selling of the final Acrobat version online to the original author, as it was quite a job, to prepare the original one.
So, if you want, you can give me a feed-back.
