Are you young at heart?

"Fairy tales can come true it can happen to you,
if you're young at heart." Today is the first day of a new stage of my life, and I know that there is a lot of thing to be done, and I discovered that aging is a matter of a way of thinking. You'll become old, the day you stop learning, challenging yourself, trying to make your life "easier". Paul wrote on the Bible: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." So, renew your mind every day, and no matter if you are 18 or 105, you'll be young, not only at Heart, but also at Life!

(He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

Antonio started a great military career, and he was from the first generation of Pilots who had a formal training with the Mexican Army and US Air Force. He graduated with honors and his generation was called “Los Penicilinos” (The penicillin’s). He was ranked on the 5th place from the Air Force School from 5,000 students. By that time, World War II was on its apogee and German submarines launched an attack against Mexican oil tankers that were providing fuel and materials to the Allies. These attacks eventually caused the Mexican government to declare war on Germany; Mexico was involved on the war and was part of the Alliance, so they needed to send forces to join the battle front. Antonio was promoted to Captain and because of his high qualifications he was part of the leading team of the “The Aztec Eagles” the squad that is historically recognized as the "201".
