Hi Graham,

How can communities better support elderly residents?
Communities must support elderly residents with all due respect because they have constructed the building when young people live.

When someone makes a mistake, do they always owe an explanation?
No, I don´t think so. Everyone makes a mistake therefore nobody has to be forgiven niether to owe an explanation to other.

Do you believe people are born evil, or does society make then that way?
Scientifics say that the birth, training, culture, family and so on configure the personality, but Ramón y Cajal said: “Every human being, if he proposes, can be sculptor of his own brain”.

Which school subject is especially important for the future?
I suppose that science would be the school subject which everyone would have to study in the future.

Are customers entitled to refund in every situation?
Yes. I think so. If you don´t know how do it you can look for a lawyer.

What makes a film or series truly entertaining?
I suppose that it was a nice history as “the princess bride”.

Does technology enhance relationships or damage therm?
All advances are good for people, therefore technology enhances relationships.

How can schools ensure student well-being?
I suppose that with suitable temperature, silence, quiet, fresh air, enjoyable classes and respect each other.

How can schools encourage students to read for pleasure?
I think, schools should have imagination, for instance, creating groups of reading, doing competitions, making exercises about the protagonist of some books, giving books free and so on.

What qualities make someone a valuable employee?
The most important thing is to be faithful. He must be a hard worker, expert, intelligent and good person.

Does social media enable creativity or limit it?
In my opinion, social media increases commmunication among people from all latitudes and this advantage enriches creativity. Its problem is the addiction, especially for young people.

Should schools embrace artificial intelligence in the classroom?
I don´t think so. Students have to learn working and studying and artificial intelligence avoids that students work and study.

Are young people still eager to buy homes, or are their priorities changing?
The Spanish, young and adult men, wanted to buy homes in the past but now it´s different, there is not this obsession because flats are very expensive.

What talent would you most like to perform effortlessly?
I would like to speak in English effortlessly.

Do easy-going leaders make better managers?
It depends on the place, the moment and other circumstances. The leader must act with balance. It said: Strategy of the carrot and stick.

How would you prepare if you lived in an earthequake-prone area?
I would live in a single-story house separated of other buildings on the hill of the town. I would sleep in a bedroom with canvas roof and over the ground.

What everyday habit has the biggest impact on your health?
Sleeping well and enough time is very import for my health.

Will traditional offices eventually disappear because of remote work?
Yes. I think so. They are already disappearing. I suppose that will only remain the doctor´s appointment.

Good afternoon Joseph,

Let's see how I get on deciphering your comment today, Wish me luck!

How can communities better support elderly residents?
Communities must support elderly residents ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶d̶u̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶p̶e̶c̶t̶ with the utmost respect because they have constructed the building where young people live.

Whenever there is a particularly cold spell or heatwave, TV presenters in the UK tell viewers to look in on elderly neighbours. However, as far as I see, people don't give a damn about their neighbours - elderly or not.

When someone makes a mistake, do they always owe an explanation?
No, I don´t think so. Anybody can make a mistake therefore nobody<7b> has to be forgiven nor owe an explanation.

Do you believe people are born evil, or does society make them that way?
Scientists (it is beyond belief that you are still making that mistake) say that the birth, training, culture, family and so on configure the personality, but Ramón y Cajal said: “Every human being, if he so desires, can be sculptor of his own brain”.

Which school subject is especially important for the future?
I suppose that science is the school subject which everyone will have to study in the future.

Are customers entitled to a refund in every situation?
Yes. I think so. If you don´t know how to do it, you can look for a lawyer.

What makes a film or series truly entertaining?
I suppose that it a nice story like “The Princess Bride”. (I have never seen it but I've just looked it up. Is that film really your cup of tea?)

Does technology enhance relationships or damage therm?
All advances are good for people, therefore technology enhances relationships.

How can schools ensure student well-being?
I suppose with suitable temperature, silence, (silence and quietness are +/- the same), fresh air, enjoyable classes and respect for each other.

How can schools encourage students to read for pleasure?
I think, schools should have imagination, for instance, creating groups of reading, doing competitions, making exercises about the protagonist of some books, having books freely available and so on.

What qualities make someone a valuable employee?
The most important thing is to be loyal. He must be a hard worker, an expert in their field / qualified, intelligent and a good person.

Does social media enable creativity or limit it?
In my opinion, social media increases communication among people from all latitudes and this is an advantage which enriches creativity. The problem is that it is addictive, especially for young people.

Should schools embrace artificial intelligence in the classroom?
I don´t think so. Students have to learn working and studying and artificial intelligence means that students work and study less.

Are young people still eager to buy homes, or are their priorities changing?
The Spanish, the young and middle-aged, wanted to buy homes in the past but now it´s different, there is not this obsession because flats are very expensive.

What talent would you most like to perform effortlessly?
I would like to speak in English effortlessly.

It depends on the place, the moment and other circumstances. A leader must act fairly. In other words - the strategy of the carrot and stick.

How would you prepare if you lived in an earthquake-prone area?
I would live in a single-story house separate from other buildings on the hill of the town. I would sleep in a bedroom with a canvas roof and above the floor (not sure what you mean - a hammock?).

What everyday habit has the biggest impact on your health?
Sleeping well and having plenty of time to get things done is very import for my health. (I'm surprised that I'm still alive)

Will traditional offices eventually disappear because of remote work?
Yes. I think so. They are already disappearing. I suppose that the only thing that will remain is the doctor´s appointment. (Actually, many doctor's appointments are online now or over the phone)

My reply is all bold again. Pffffff!
