VIVA BRAZIL
For all my life I’ve cheered for Brazil’s soccer team! Why? Simply because they can play and they can deliver a great fair game.
What do i know?
Over the years I built an image for Brazil in my mind and at some point I thought I knew it all; I know that they have the best soccer team ever, I know they have soccer as part of there culture, I know they dance samba, I know they have great beaches, I know the flag, the language they speak, I also know that they are the biggest country in South America. Thinking about what i know now; I would say it’s just the kind of information that anyone would learn watching Discovery Channel or reading some online article; in other words, I only know the obvious.
Enlightenment!
Eduardo joined SpinBits two months ago as an intern, he is a Computer Science fresh graduate and he’s the cousin of Cloves, SpinBits’ co-founder.
Having Eduardo among us opened my eyes to a whole new side of Brazil. Though he can’t speak english very well, but he still had his impression and he managed to reflect who he is and what Brazilian people are all about by actions.
I wont go and pretend that I know it all about Brazil just because i met Eduardo, but I know a lot more now. I know for a fact that they are kind, humble, smart, and funny, honesty is part of who they are. They are joyful and positive and this isn’t the kind of thing you learn through TV, it’s the kind of thing you get through human interaction.
No goodbyes for you Eduardo
He is leaving us and heading back to his homeland this Friday, still he won’t get any goodbyes from us, all he’ll be getting is “Till we meet again”. That’s why we all at SpinBits went out on a “Till we meet again” night for Eduardo.
We all wish you good luck with the RoR business you are planing to start in Brazil. VIVA BRAZIL! VIVA EDUARDO!
