Tirana eshte ne kufirin kritik qe te quhet e pabanueshme nga ndertimet
Ing. Qerim Ismeni, Kryetar i shoqates "Per nje Zhvillim te Qendrueshem e Racional"

Rritja e dendesise (nr. te banoreve per njesi siperfaqjeje) eshte problem kryesor i qytetit te Tiranes, si dhe i disa qyteteve te tjera te vendit. Kjo rritje e dendesise vjen per disa shkaqe:
1. Neglizhence ne kerkesat per standard ne projektim, si rezultat i presioneve korruptive te individeve dhe te biznesit te ndertimit.
2. Bizneset e ndertimit dhe individet kerkojne te maksimalizojne fitimet, duke perdorur kapacitetet egzistuese infrastrukturore.
3. Paaftsia e drejtuesve te mandatuar per ti rezistuar presionit korruptiv te biznesit dhe individeve qe shperfillin rregullat (normativat) urbanistike.
Politikat e gabuara qendrore ne drejtim te decentralizimit, gje qe ka reflektuar shpesh ne vendimmarrjet ne nivele te ndryshme te hierarkise shteterore, te cilat kane qene ne kundershtim me standardet shkencore te urbanistikes per te mos thene edhe me legjislacionin ne fushen e urbanistikes! Te mandatuarit tane marrin mandatin me be e rrufe (premtime) per ti sherbyer qytetareve dhe sapo e perfitojne ate, mendojne te ngrejne Lavdine (me fal pasurine) e tyre mbi mjerimin e te tjereve.
5. Mungesa e kultures se nevojshme te vendimmarresve per te vleresuar fjalen gjelberim ne qytete, duke e quajtur ate luks (salltanet).
6. Ligjerimi i ndertimeve te paligjeshme - legalizimi - ne cdo 2 apo 4 vjet, sa here kemi zgjedhje elektorale (shyqyr qe jemi popull i urte politikisht, se po te ishim si disa popuj te tjere, qe kane bere zgjedhje cdo vit, kush e di se cdo ishte bere). Kjo praktike ka bere qe jo vetem te humbasim siperfaqet e gjelberta ne qytete, por deri diku shume shqiptare te humbin shpresen se do te behemi ndonjehere shtet. Politikanet tane me se shumti gjate ketyre 23 viteve tranzicion me veprimet e mosveprimet e tyre kane ngaterruar sistemin ekonomiko-shoqeror me shtetin.
Pikerisht, keto jane ne vija te trasha disa nga shkaqet e pakesimit te hapesirave te gjelberta dhe "bukosjes" ne qytete, me pasoje rendimin e mjedisit (veshtiresimi i kushteve te jeteses). Une ne Forumin "Per mbrojtjen e hapesirave te gjelberta te Tiranes, te mbledhur para disa ditesh, mes argumenteve te tjera thashe se numri i njerezve te semure ne Tirane nga semundjet me shkaktar mjedisin urban te renduar, si asthma, kanceri etj., jane 5 fishuar ne raport me vitin 1989, ne nje kohe qe ne qytetin e Tiranes nuk kemi ndonje TEC qe djeg qindra ton qymyr guri ne dite apo ndonje objekt tjeter te industrise se rende qe shkarkon miliona metro kub gaz ne vit.
Qyteti i Tiranes shtrihet ne nje siperfaqe prej 31 km katror dhe ka nje popullsi afro 726000 banore (2009), ndodhet ne nje lartesi mbi nivelin e detit 110 metra dhe karakterizohet nga nje klime mesdhetare, me dimer te bute, por me nje numer te vogel, 10 deri 15, dite me ere ne drejtimin veri-jug, si dhe me nje numer ditesh relativisht te medha, afer 70 deri ne 90 dite, me presion atmosferik te ulet, si dhe me 60 deri ne 70 dite me lageshti relative te ajrit mbi normalen - qe eshte afersisht 60%. U perqendrova tek keto tregues, te cilet ne kushtet e ndotjes se ajrit ndikimin ne shendet e kane te larte. Pra, mungesa e korenteve te ajrit, presioni i ulet atmosferik si dhe lageshtira relative e ajrit mbi normalen jane faktore qe nuk varen nga ne (njeriu), por qe efektet negative te tyre minimizohen me disipline te rrepte ne administrimin e territorit, duke hapur korridore ajri atje ku mungojne, duke mos lejuar "cibane" bashkengjitur pallateve te banimit, si dhe duke mos cenuar as edhe nje meter siperfaqe te gjelbert te trasheguar nga paraardhesit. Tirana eshte dyfishuar ne keto 23 vjet nga 350000 ne 726000 ne 2009, ne pothuajse shume pak hapesira te reja, kryesisht vetem ne hapesirat e quajtura "boshe", qe ne fakt nuk ishin boshe, por hapesira te gjelberta e kende lojrash. Akualisht gjelberimi ne Tirane eshte 2.7 meter katror per banor, kundrejt 7 meter katror ne vitin 1989, por dhe kjo shifer eshte e dyshimte. Nderkohe, po japim siperfaqen e gjelbert per fryme ne disa qytete te Evropes sa me poshte : Budapesti 9.9 meter katror per fryme, qytetet e Bashkimit Evropian ne mesatare 12 meter katror per fryme, Brukseli - kryeqyteti i BEse 27 meter katror, Hamburgu ne Gjermani 34 meter katror per fryme. Vlen te theksohet se Budapesti, me siperfaqe te gjelbert 4 here me shume se Tirana, pershkohet nga lumi i Danubit mes per mes, qe krahas freskise qe jep uji sherben edhe si korridor ventilimi, po keshtu Hamburgu, megjithese eshte qytet port ku numri i diteve me ere eshte shume i larte, ka siperfaqe te gjelbert 13 here me shume se Tirana. Shtrohet pyetja, pse Tirana u mbipopullua, pse u zune hapesirat e gjelberta mes pallateve, te trasheguara nga sistemi i kaluar, me kaq lehtesi, pse akoma edhe ato pak hapesira te mbetura duhet te betonizohen!? A thua vertet keta qeveritare kane menduar per qytetaret (popullin), apo e thene cope - ngrene lavdine (me fal pasurine) e tyre mbi mjerimin e te tjereve? A nuk u mjaftuan me faktin se siperfaqet e gjelberta nga 7 meter katror per fryme ne vitin 1990 sot jane 2.7 meter katror per fryme, kur ne mesataren e BEse eshte 12 meter katror e luftohet per ta rritur edhe me teper. Dua te theksoj se Tirana eshte ne kufirin kritik qe te quhet e pabanueshme nga ndertimet (cibanet), me leje apo pa leje, qe legalizohen ne zgjedhjet elektorale te radhes. Banoret e Tiranes nuk po ngopen me ajer (oksigjen) ngaqe ajri i ndotur nga aktiviteti njerezor, ne mungese te korenteve ajrore, nuk leviz, nga lageshtia relative e ajrit mbi normalen gjate gjithe stines se dimrit, nga temperatura ekstreme me 5 - 7 grade celcius mbi ato qe shenon stacioni meteorologjik ne vere si rezultat i nxehtesise se akumuluar nga siperfaqet beton- xham- asfalt dhe askund bime - gjelberim, qe te absorbojne gazin karbonik, te clirojne oksigjen dhe te freskojne ambientin.
Sa me siper, nese i referohemi teorise se hierarkise te nevojave sipas sociologut Maslow, ne piramiden me 5 nivele, ku niveli i pare permbledh nevojat biologjike ose nevojat minimale per mbijetese, renditen ajri, uji, gjumi, ushqimi etj. Ne kete kendveshtrim mund te them se autoritetet pergjegjese per administrimin e territorit si dhe ligjvenesit (deputetet), me veprimet e mos veprimet e tyre, na mohojne te drejtat minimale per ekzistence, duke na keqesuar mjedisin. Ne mungese te hapesirave te gjelberta, duke dendesuar banimin, duke lejuar cibanet ne faqen e drites te pallateve, na privohet e drejta per ajer me te paster, e drejta per gjume te qete ngaqe eshte pijetorja apo vendet e bixhozit ne nje mur tek tulle ne mes (na rrofte ligji per ndalimin e zhurmave), na privohet e drejta per uje te paster sepse ndertimi i eger me leje jashte kritereve urbane, apo pa leje qe legalizohet kur te behen zgjedhjet e rradhes, eshte bere mbi kolektorin e ujerave te zeza, duke nderhyre edhe ne rrjetin e ujesjellesit, me pasoje rriskim mbi cilesine e ujit.
Eshte per tu pershendetur aksioni i marre nga drejtori i urbanistikes ne Bashkine e Tiranes, z. Florenc Hoxha para disa ditesh per clirimin e hapesirave publike te zena, por aksioni kerkon mbeshtetje nga te gjitha nivelet e piramides shteterore dhe mediat. Shpresoj dhe deshiroj qe ky aksion te perfshihet ne historikun e zhvillimit urban te Tiranes dhe te jete shembull per te gjitha qytetet e Shqiperise.
Sa me siper, une dhe te gjithe pjesemarresit e mbedhur ne forumin "Per mbrojtje e hapesirave publike dhe te gjelberta te Tiranes" kerkojme nga kryetari i bashkise Tirane anullimin e vendimit (lejes) per tjetersimin e hapesires se gjelbert prane Parlamentit (lulishtja e Namazgjase) per llogari te ndertimit te 2 kullave biznesi dhe xhamise, perdorur si kamuflazh per 2 kullat. Kjo kerkese mbeshtetet ne sa argumentova me lart si dhe per arsyet juridike sa me poshte.
1. Ne planin rregullues te Tiranes te miratuar ne mbledhjen e keshillit bashkiak dt. 15.02. 2013 thuhet se nuk eshte perfshire tjetersimi i lulishtes prane parlamentit. Shtroj pyetjen: A nuk mjafton fakti qe eshte ndertuar Kisha Ortodokse midis 3 Ministrive, e ashtuquajtura qendra Historike e Tiranes, dhe se per karshillek tani duhet dhene leje per 2 kulla biznesi nen kamuflazhin e xhamise? Sipas mendimit tim, as kisha ortodokse e as 2 kullat dhe xhamia nuk duhet te ndertohen dhe se firmtaret e lejes se ndertimit te kishes duhet te mbajne pergjegjesi, si dhe duhet te futen ne listen e zeze te pushtetareve qe kane bere dem te pakorrigjueshem ne mjedisin ambiental e historik te Tiranes. Ne te njejten kohe i kerkoj kryetarit te Bashkise Tirane te anulloje vendimin per tjetersimin e lulishtes prane parlamentit per keto arsye: se pari as 2 kullat e as xhamia nuk jane te perfshira ne planin rregullues te Tiranes, te miratuar ne mbledhjen e keshillit bashkiak dt. 15.02.2013. Se dyti Tirana eshte e bukosur (pa frymemarrje) dhe se siperfaqja e kesaj lulishteje eshte shume pak nga sa i takon ketij komuniteti, prandaj mos e pakesoni me teper. Se treti per objekte ne hapesira publike si lulishte, sheshe etj. askush nuk mund ti tjetersoje pa pyetur komunitetin, sic eshte vepruar, sepse Shqiperia eshte pale nenshkruese ne Konventen Nderkombetare te Aarhusit qe me 25 qershor 1998, Konvente e ratifikuar nga Parlamenti i Shqiperise me Ligjin nr 8672 date 26.10.2000. Kjo Konvente ka hyre ne fuqi me 30 tetor te 2001. Pra kemi 12 vjet qe ne duhet ta zbatojme ate. Konventa qendron ne majen e piramides juridike. Ne kete kontekst, edhe sikur te jete perfshire ne planin rregullues te Tiranes dhe miratuar ne mbledhjen e keshillit bashkiak, zenia e kesaj hapesire te gjelbert pa marre mendimin e komunitetit, neni 3 i kesaj Konvente, kjo Leje nuk ka vlere.
Numri i njerezve te semure per shkaqe ambientale ne Tirane eshte 5 fishuar, gjithashtu edhe numri i vdekjeve per shkaqe ambientale eshte rritur. Sipas ekspertit te njohur te Institutit te Shendetit Publik, Agron Deliu, cdo qytetari te Tiranes per shkaqe ambientale i eshte ulur jetegjatesia 2 deri ne 3 vjet. Sa me siper, edhe nje here ju bejme thirrje autoriteteve pergjegjese te ndalojne zenien, qofte edhe te nje metri katror siperfaqeje publike apo te gjelberta, sepse hapesirat e gjelberta ne qytete nuk jane lluks, por nevoja biologjike.
Europa lufton per te rritur siperfaqet e gjelberta per t'ju pergjigjur ndryshimeve klimatike globale, ndersa ne deri me tani kemi ecur ne drejtimin e kundert.

FINDING YOURSELF.

Understanding yourself and relating to others.

"He who knows others is wise ; he who knows himself is enlightened." - Tao Tzu

Do you sometimes wonder who you really are? 
Do you feel that you are constantly adapting yourself to suit the needs of others? 
Do you have multiple, conflicting roles in life that leave you feeling confused or compromised?
Do you feel that you are not relating to others as effectively as you would like?
We live in a complicated world that seems to expect us to be lots of different things all at the same time. Very rarely are we called on just to be ourselves - yet strangely when we see that in others we applaud it and call it things like "individuality", "Charisma" and inspiring leadership".
So why is it that true individuality in others seems inspiring and yet individuality for ourselves can seem impossible - or at least impractical? And if we do "find ourselves", how do we then relate to others in new ways?
"Know thyself" - Socrates
It is said that in ancient Greece the phase "know thyself" was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. The ancient Greek philosophers realized that knowing yourself was an essential pre-requisite for all wisdom. Socrates focused upon knowing himself because there is a little point in knowing about external things if you do not understand yourself first.
Of course in childhood the main emphasis was put on knowing things and accumulating knowledge about the world in order to pass exams and get good grades. Knowing and understanding yourself is not a subject that gets examined and may not feature heavily, if at all, whist growing up. It is left to chance later in life, if needed it is ever actively on the agenda.
As adults we do not need to leave it to chance and can take responsibility for understanding ourselves at any point. We are able to take what we have learnt from others, reflect on our life experiences and discover for ourselves who and what we are.
Not knowing yourself has broad implications for how you live your life and relate to others. A fuller version of the quote expands the point:
"My friend...care for your psyche...know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves".
If you do not know and understand yourself you will not be able to take care of yourself ; without being in touch with yourself, you will not be able to truly get in touch with others; without understanding yourself, you will not be in a position to understand and relate to others effectively.
A true relationship with yourself is necessary for a true relationship with others. If you can blow away the fog of confusion that gets in the way of you seeing yourself as you really are, you will be able to see others emerging from the mist more clearly too.
Socrates says that the main priority of life is to find yourself - and, if you choose, you can blow away the fog of confusion that gets in the way of you seeing yourself as you really are, you will be able to see others emerging from the mist more clearly too.
Socrates says that the main priority of life is to find yourself - and, if you choose, you can become the world's experts on yourself. This is the path of personal growth and development and ultimately no-one can have a better understanding of yourself than you.
What motivates us? 
Different things motivate different people.
 Nature vs Nurture. 
It is perhaps worth exploring here the perennial question about what shapes us individuals - is it our nature that we are born with that dominates our future path, or is it nurture - the way that we are brought up and the influences on and around us during that time? Of course the truth is that it is blend of both.
A natural talent and creative flair of music, if not developed, does not automatically lead to a musical genius like Mozart. He is regarded as a child prodigy, a naturally gifted musician at an astonishingly young age, so it is reasonable to assume it was in his nature somehow. The reality is though that he lived and breathed music under the immense pressure from his father and wrote very many pieces of music so that by the time some of it was pretty good he was still young. From the outside it looks as though he is a genius, if you saw the reality you may conclude it was sheer hard work and dedication.
What is true though, is that without the "encouragement" (or pressure) from his father he would not have accomplished the things that he did.
The desire for acceptance. 
As we have already seen, the main thing that motivates the vast majority, if not all of us, is to be loved and accepted and to know that we are good enough.
This desire for acceptance creates in us a sort of rule-book of beliefs and values, a sense of right and wrong, what is acceptable and what is not. they could be helpful beliefs and values, a sense of right and wrong, what is acceptable and what is not. They could be helpful beliefs or unhelpful beliefs, true or false.
They have been inherited from parents, family, friends, colleagues and society at large. Indeed much of it is neither deliberately, or even consciously taught to us, but is received by osmosis. Long held beliefs and 'common sense' approaches are are talked about in an unquestioned way and adopted as fact by the individual growing up.
Even as adults we are bombarded with messages and our desire to be individual conflicts with our desire to be accepted. Usually the desire for acceptance wins. The simple reason for this is that the only way that society can operate, i.e. with lots of individuals living together in peace, is if everyone plays to a set of rules. This means sacrificing some individuality in order to gain the security that comes with living together in community.

Numbness in Hands and Feet ( Mpirjet e duarve dhe këmbëve).

Nëse jeni duke e lexuar këtë material, atëherë ju, një mik apo ndoshta një i dashur ka mpirje në duar dhe këmbë që është konstant ose me ndërprerje. Është e rëndësishme të bëhet dallimi mpirje në duar vetëm me mpirje në këmbë vetëm kundrejt të dyja në të njëjtën kohë, sepse kjo do të ndryshojë në mënyrë të konsiderueshme diagnozën lidhur me këto simptoma. Para se të bëni ndonjë lexim të mëtejshëm apo hulumtim është e rëndësishme për të regjistruar kohën, raste, karakterin e mpirje apo ndjesi shpimi gjilpërash. Termi mjekësor për këtë është nganjëherë thirrje parasthesias.

Parasthesias në përgjithësi është i bazuar neurologjikisht në mpirje apo ndjesi shpimi gjilpërash trupi i përgjithshëm mund të shkaktohet edhe nga simptoma je sjanë neurologjike. Një çrregullim jo-neurologjik, si ankthi mund të jetë baza për këto. Gjatë një sulmi paniku, për shembull, dikush mund të ketë ndjesi shpimi gjilpërash përgjithësisht  ne duar dhe këmbë,e cila mund të jetë ose simetrike ose jo. Zakonisht, kjo është lehtësisht e dallueshme nga një gjendje më e rëndë të bazuar në të dhenat aktuale fizike dhe historinë.

Një mpirje akute në duart dhe këmbët apo vetëm një mpirje apo ndjesi shpimi gjilpërash në këmbët ose duart vetëm pa ndonjë traume asociuar mund të jetë tregues i një goditje ose ndoshta një sulm ishemie. Me fillimin e mpirjes apo ndjesisë së shpimit të gjilpërave unë sugjeroj te  marret një aspirinë menjëherë nëse ju jeni tashmë në një tjetër mjekim si Plavix ose aggrenox. Nëse  shoqerohet me trauma ju duhet të kërkoni kujdes mjekësor sepse mund te keni dëmtim nervor.

Nëse ju keni pasur keto siptoma gjate gripit, së bashku me dobësi dhe lodhje të konsiderueshme që ju mund të keni Guillain-Barre Sindromi i cili mund të jetë kërcënuese. Ju duhet të kërkojnë kujdes mjekësor menjëherë.

Mund të keni parasthesias kronike në këmbë vetëm  vetem nese vuani nevropati periferike. Nuk është idiopatike nevropati periferike e cila eshte një sëmundje kronike dobësuese që përkeqësohet me moshën. Për fat të mirë ka shumë ilaçe që ju mund të merrni për të ndihmuar me këtë dhe me kalimin e kohës dhimbje dhe parehati juaj duhet të lehtësojë dhe të bëhet i durueshëm. Ju duhet te merrni kohe nga puna/shkolla/aktiviteti dhe te qendroni te qete pa u sforcuar derisa kjo situate te kaloj.  Nëse keni diabet atëherë ndoshta ju keni një nevropati diabetik periferike. Duhet që të jetë rasti të bëni të sigurtë që jeni vigjilent në kontrollin e diabetit tuaj si diabeti i pakontrolluar këtu është fajtori dhe mund të shkaktojnë simptomat tuaja të përkeqësohet duke shkuar përpara.

Kjo është vetëm një përmbledhje e shkurtër e disa prej çrregullimeve shumë se sa mund të shkaktojnë numnbess në duart dhe këmbët dhe ne ju inkurajojmë që të kërkojë këshilla mjekësore në lidhje aktive Sëmundjet tuaja. Nuk ka shumë informacion në dispozicion në të gjithë vendin që mund të jetë e dobishme ne lidhje me kete.

English Version: 

 If you are reading this page then you, a friend or perhaps a loved one has numbness in hands and feet that is either constant or intermittent.  It is important to distinguish numbness in the hands alone vs numbness in the feet alone vs both at the same time because that will significantly change the diagnosis associated with those symptoms.  Before doing any further reading or research it is important to record the time, instances, character of the numbness or tingling.  The medical term for this is sometimes call parasthesias.

The basis for parasthesias is generally neurologically based though general body numbness or tingling can be caused by non neurological symptoms.  One non-neurologic disorder such as anxiety can be the basis for these.  During a panic attack for example one could have generalized tingling of the hands and feet which can be either symmetrical or symetrical.  Usually, this is easily discernable  from a more serious condition based on the actual physical findings and history.

An acute numbness in the hands and feet or just a numbness or tingling in the feet or hands alone without any associated trauma could be indicative of a stroke or perhaps a transient ischemic attack.  With new onset numbness or tingling I suggest taking an aspirin right away unless you are already on another blood thinning medication like plavix or aggrenox.  If there was associated trauma you should seek medical attention as there could be nerve damage

If you have had the flu shot and have these symptoms along with significant weakness and fatigue you may have Guillain-Barre syndrome which could be life threatening.  You should seek medical attention immediately.

Should you have chronic parasthesias in the legs only likely you have peripheral neuropathy.  There is idiopathic peripheral neuropathy which as a chronic debilitating disease that worsens with age.  Fortunately there are many medications you can take to help with this and over time your pain and discomfort should ease and become tolerable.  It takes some time to get the right regimen.  Often the regimen is quite idiosyncratic as is the response to it.  If you have diabetes then perhaps you have a diabetic peripheral neuropathy.  Should that be the case make sure that you are vigilant in controlling your diabetes as uncontrolled diabetes here is the culprit and can cause your symptoms to worsen going forward.

This is just a brief summary of some of the many disorders than can cause numnbess in hands and feet and we encourage you to seek active medical advice regarding your ailments.   There is more information available throughout the site that may be helpful as well.

Careers and Employability.

University is Finishing, NOW WHAT?

What Are your career goals and how higher education will help you get there? 

Will graduate school pay off?

Should you go to graduate school immediately after completing your bachelor's degree?

Aren't these the questions you have been asking yourself lately?

Student internship or volunteer during the summer, semester or upon graduating: Interning or volunteering in your field is one of the best ways to get some real experience in the career you want and boost your resume! 
Many companies are more willing to hire a candidate right out of college if they have at least had some relevant experience in the field through internships or other part-time work.

Look for smaller companies for your first full time job : in many fields, it can be easier to land a position in the field in smaller , local companies. Depending on the size of your city or town , you may even know some of the people working in the field that interests you. It can be often easier to land a position with the small company in order to get the experience and expertise you need to move into a larger institution. 

Think about your connections and networks : Think about your parent[s careers,an aunt that works in a a bank, a friend in advertising , ect. and ask them for advice about how to get into the field. You can also ask them to let you know if they hear of any available positions within their company or in smaller ones. 

Time to Get Hired!

Make FACEBOOK work for you (pt 2).

Start by making your own network aware that you are looking for a new JOB. All this requires is a status update in which you mention that you are looking for work and would love to e-mail your CV to anybody who is interested.

You can also set up your own page on, e.g. linkedin.com post the link in facebook - preferably with a message to recipients  that they are more than welcome to forward the link to others in their networks.This is a quick and effective way of spreading the message.

A second, more strategic way to use FACEBOOK is to find insiders - friends who work at the companies in which you're interested. Find contacts that work in the company or maybe know someone who does, and then take steps to contact them. Ask about the working conditions, what qualities are prized by the company , and whether she/he might be able to put in a good word for you.

Make FACEBOOK work for you.

Social media are here to stay and they have become a good way of keeping track of family, friends, colleagues, business partners and others in your network.

You may have already a solid network of friends and acquaintances on FACEBOOK. Remember that everyone in your network has his or her own network, of which you are a small part. Most people have more than 100 Facebook friends. This means that you are one step removed from 10,000 potential contacts. You should make use of this fact. This can be done in several ways.
But before you start, avoid suspicious types. Don't display photos where you look drunk, where you are partially undressed or at some wild party or event. Be aware of what groups you join, and what they say about you. Ask yourself what impression you want to give to a potential employer, and what they'd think of you if they looked you up on FACEBOOK.

(This is also a matter of you protecting yourself and your personal life).

In the future days we will post the steps one by one to make your FACEBOOK work for you. Stay tuned. Leave a comment below if you have any questions.

Poor or Broke?

Broke Vs. Poor

(True story) 

When I was growing up, my next-door-neighbor was a single mom who supported herself with her writing. Needless to say, she did not have issues of where to invest all that excess income.

One thing she used to say, which stuck in my mind was:

“I’m not poor, I’m just always broke.”

I remember being a little confused with this. Weren’t poor and broke the same thing? I just didn’t get it.

Now that I’m a certified grown-up, I think I understand what she was getting at.

To describe oneself as poor is to accept a place in a lower strata. To believe that there is a distinction between the classes, and you’re simply stuck at the bottom. It’s who you are, and there’s no way out. The long term view.

To be broke, means you have no money, but it’s a temporary situation. You’re just one good writing assignment away from financial stability. You may have an empty bank account now, but flush times are just around the corner.

Is there a real difference between poor and broke?

Of course not.

I’m not suggesting that poverty isn’t a valid and real existence for millions of people the world over.

But it sure is more satisfying to be frugal because you’re broke, rather than because you’re poor.

And I’ve certainly been broke in my life, but I sure as hell have never been poor.

Have you ever refused to take money saving measures because you didn’t want to be perceived as poor? Tell us about it in the comments section below.

What about money?

History of money shows us that it is a medium of exchange for trade. It can be a medium of exchange because it has a clear value that is trusted by everyone. 

Money is also a way to store value for the future. So, for example, we can save up our money to buy something expensive in the future. 

Finally, money is also a unit of account. It can be counted easily and it enables a clear value to be given to goods. 

The history of money

Barter

Many thousands of years ago, our European ancestors lived as hunters and farmers. 


Stone axe from 
the Stone AgeMetals had not been discovered, so they hunted and farmed with stone tools – this time was known as theStone Age. Stone Age men and women did not have the banknotes and coins that we use today. Instead, they would exchange goods with each other: for example, a hunter could exchange animal skins with a farmer for grain, or a fisherman could exchange decorative seashells for a polished stone axe with a hunter. This exchange is known as barter. An important feature of barter is that it involves the exchange of goods that have value.

A medium for exchange

When our ancestors learned how to make metals then exchanges became easier.

Silver nugget

This is because metals, such as gold silver, tin and iron, were valuable to everyone. So, a farmer could barter his cattle for a certain weight of silver, then later, the farmer could use some of this silver to pay his taxes. In this way, valuable metals and other objects became a 'measure of value', a 'medium of exchange' and a way to 'store value' until it is needed.

The first coins

Around 2600 years ago, the first coins were made in Asia Minor. 

Ancient Greek coin
The ancient Greeks quickly adopted this new idea and started producing silver and bronze coins, for example the silver drachma. These early coins contained a specified weight of metal with a certain value. And to guarantee this weight, the coins were stamped with a seal by the king or city or country that issued them. 

Coins were convenient because they could be counted rather than weighed. Because these new coins were a trusted and efficient 'medium of exchange' they helped greatly increase trade in the ancient world.

The first European currencies

To guarantee the value of coins, kings and governments strictly controlled their production.

Juno Moneta
In ancient Rome, coin production was done in the temple of Juno Moneta – which is where the word 'money' comes from. 

Later, as the Roman Empire expanded, other mints were opened and the same roman coins were accepted for exchange all across Europe, from the British Isles to Turkey – the first pan-European currency. 



Later, as the Roman Empire broke up and the nations of Europe began to appear, each country kept control of its own coinage. 



Roman templeIt was from these European nations that we inherited the many coins and currencies that existed before the euro. These were often named after units of measure, such as the Italian lira and the Finnish markka, because the coins originally contained a fixed amount of gold and silver. 

A problem with many currencies is that, depending on the success of individual economies, the exchange rate between the currencies can vary a lot – this makes trade between countries a risky business, so it is discouraged.

20th century currencies in Europe

Before the euro was introduced most European countries had their own coins and banknotes – their own currency.


For travel and trade, it was necessary to change money as you changed country. In Germany you paid in Deutschmarks, if you left Germany and travelled to France you had to exchange your Deutschmarks for French Francs, and so on. 

The names of Europe's old currencies often revealed something about their origins:

• The schilling, used in Austria, was named after a mark on a stick used for counting.
• The tolar used in Slovenia comes from the medieval coin, the thaler, first minted in the Czech Republic in 1518 – the name 'thaler' is the origin of the term 'dollar' in the USA.
• The name of the Greek drachma means 'handful' and refers to a handful of six metal bars that were used as currency before the drachma was introduced in ancient Greece.
• The franc, meaning 'free' in French, was first minted in the 14th century to pay the ransom for the French King John the Good.
