As is almost traditional, as I did for 36 and , 37, now talk about the star of the day number, 38. To 38 could be defined as a discrete figure, no desire to prominence. It has no aristocratic aura of prime numbers and has only three divisors besides himself on 1, 2 and 19 - which make it a little compound striking. Curious to say the least minimally emphasize that it is the sum of the squares of the three first cousins \u200b\u200b(2x2 +3 x3 +4 x4 = 38) if we exclude the one. It is also the highest even number can not be written as the sum of two odd composite numbers. You see, somewhat gimmicky quirks that make our number go quite unnoticed in the fascinating world of mathematics.
In other areas, the number 38 is presented, sorry, as a figure of conflict and even sinister. The 38 is the caliber of many firearms: put the little number on Google and find pictures and see the amount of guns that come out. Particularly well known is the 38 Smith & Ammunition Special Wesson, which is spoken in the song that's Pedro Navaja, Ruben Blades . I think those bullet killed John Lennon, among others. It also gives its name to one of the most contentious borders of the Earth, sadly fashionable in recent weeks: the 38th parallel, which divides the two Koreas. And looking for the events of the year 38 the most prominent seems too macabre: the martyrdom of San Andres agonized for three days in a cross shaped blade while still preaching the religion, which is to have humor. To finish, I read on Wikipedia, but I have to confirm with my partner Cecilia Khan, Taiwan calling someone a "38" is to tell stupid face. And interestingly is the atomic number of strontium, an element that sounds a lot like stronzo, idiot in Italian. The 38 also is the size that that haunts so many women, sometimes with devastating effects for self-esteem ...

A birthday is usually time to take stock. Normally one is overwhelmed by two things: for years it will fall and how little has been spent. Regarding the first concern I think 38 is not yet meet the occasion of anxiety, although he notes a disturbing detail for the very squeamish: Check this age and we've certainly passed the third part of our lives, except medicine or aspire made amazing progress to the Guinness Book of records. The oldest man in history whose age could be proven with certainty, Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment lived 122 years ... and 38 times three is 124. We
the second concern. If they are overwhelmed to have reached my age, or any other age, and have not yet done anything noteworthy in life will tell you two things. One, most importantly, I sincerely believe that in life there is no reason to do "anything remarkable ", or better yet, sometimes the most notable one is that you can do simple things like being a parent, a good friend, a professional or in general a good person. But if you really are concerned" triumph "In this world I inform you that in history there are examples and counterexamples to almost everything. Geniuses like Mozart or Marilyn Monroe had done everything to 38 years ... actually even had died. Some had reached that age the height of his career, as Neil Armstrong who was my age when he stepped on the moon. Others, like Muhammad, and note what later revolutionized the world, were perfectly anonymous types. In his case it was not until he was 40 when he began to preach.
If I have 38 years to choose a historical figure, I'll stick with those of Cervantes. At that age, after a very tumultuous year that included war, captivity, and the loss of an arm, the author of Don Quixote finally published La Galatea, her first literary work of a certain size and importance. Cervantes was like that for an age that divided his life into two, the time when the maimed soldier started to become a universal figure of literature. Well you truly are and to repeat this "I stay as I am" I think at this time given for reflection, birthday, New Year, anniversary importantly, you always dream that the period of time beginning mark a turning point in our lives, for good or better. So hopefully I can tell within a year I published my personal Galatea. For now, I will celebrate my birthday. Credits
