Nicolás Maquiavelo

Nicolas Maquiavelo was an Italian historian, politician, diplomat, philosopher and humanist. 
This author made important contributions to political science. 

He attribute the famous sentence "the end justifies the means" but never said.
Among his works we can mention: The Art of War (1519-1520), The Discourses on Livy (1512-1517) , Florentine Histories (1520-1525) but the most important work is "The Prince (1513)". 


Wich was written while he was in prison for conspiring against the Medici. The book describes the method by which a prince can acquire and maintain political power.

I like this personage because is pioneer in political thought especially in The Prince that represent a manual for every governor 



My favorite movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Photography

Bugambilia 
I took this photo with my iPhone 4 at my grandparents' house three weeks ago.
In it appear a tree of fuchsia bougainvillea a sunny sunday autumn
I like this photo because the house of my grandparents brings me good memories, and also because on Sundays are usually family.
Her house is very big, and when I was little I loved playing in every corner.
I love flowers and the color fuschia. The contrast of the flowers and the sky looks very cute.
My grandmother loves plants and has roses, lemon tree, hydrangeas, and many more. 

My favorite piece of technology

My iPhone is my favorite technological piece, is a smartphone and I got it about a year ago approx.
I use every day to talk with my friends, view social networks, to take photographs, as an alarm in the morning, to know the weather etc, etc.
I like it because is very useful, keeps me connected, and because I can use instagram, which is my favorite social network.
But one thing I do not like of my iPhone, is it makes you addicted, and that people stop sharing with other people for be attentive a of their phone.
Could not live without my phone, would have to buy another one if it something happens because I need to be always connected.
