I would have loved to play baseball or football, but no\u2026 All they have in mind always was hockey !!<\/p>\n<p>Now, to add more pain to my agony, Quebec City mayor decided to build a new arena to encourage NHL with their decision to put back a team in Quebec City.<\/p>\n<p>It make me sick to my stomach to watch the city degrade like it is. 75% of the roads are worst than Beirut\u2019s. The bridges aren\u2019t better, but it is much more important to build a $400,000,000 arena.<br \/>\n400 millions is only the projected cost, but we all know by experience that the bill will be near the billion at the end of the project.<br \/>\nStupid men can\u2019t make nothing else but stupid decisions!<\/p>\n<p>Another trash news is all the politic related news, because they never are constructive. It only complaining and no solutions.<\/p>\n<p>And a world wide problem I think is the negativity of the medias.<br \/>\nEveryone who follow the news on a regular basis are submitted to fear campaigns and negative side of everything.<\/p>\n<p>So every time I switch on the radio or find myself with news or stupid shows on TV at families or friends houses (don\u2019t have TV feed at my house for more than a year now) or open a newspaper, I find myself with news about hockey, out of control students, bad politic or hockey again.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why since 2 years my wife and I have decided to cut off public TV, radio and newspapers, to regain all the time we lost in front of a TV, and to begin to read good books written by world leaders and listen to leadership and self-development CD\/MP3.<\/p>\n<p>We learned how to improve our finances, the relationship between my wife and I and relationships with others, our attitude in front of LIFE obstacles, etc.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like we took a different LIFE path from the majority of the population and even if we shout at them that they are on a path that goes strait into a abyss, only a handful of them will listen, the others just follow the herd, blindly into a life of mediocrity.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to hockey\u2026 My goal is not to say hockey lovers are idiots.<br \/>\nMy goal is to underline the habit of wasting a huge part of LIFE like Homer Simpson in front of the TV watching sports, mainly for guys or shows and soaps for women.<br \/>\nWe have so much time to do all sort of great things once we decide to cut the dependence to TV.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s spring and I take every minutes I have to go out with my wife and our dog.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s hockey series time right now and I think there are games every nights;<br \/>\nIt makes me almost mad to see 9 houses out of 10 with TVs on and 8 of those 9 TVs are showing hockey.<br \/>\nWeather is beautiful, days are longer, but the streets are empty, almost a ghost town, in every houses, we see people brainwashed, almost with roots in their couches.<br \/>\nDark living rooms with blue lightning thunderstorms.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so ridiculous to think about people who would told us to be careful with our books and self-development CDs, because we could be brainwashed\u2026<br \/>\nPoor idiot\u2026 They don\u2019t even realise that I may be brainwashed, but it is with good stuff, I choose to read or listen, not by all sort of imposed media propaganda or people stupid opinions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Remember\u2026 Leaders are readers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have an excellent day, God bless.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Patric.J.Dufficy<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-315'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(315);\" title='' ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vision-tpl.com\/dealersinhope\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'>Be the first to like.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(315);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(315);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since several weeks there are students protests that began with the raise of school cost, but now it has degenerate and they manifest about everything and anything, only to bring anarchy and chaos in some cities of the Province of Quebec.
