It is the good life. This is the good life!

Alex was born in London England.. LOL but his mom was from Nigeria and is of the Yoruba tribe.

A few months ago I made one of my best trip ever. I went to Ethiopia, to present my job about Health Care. But, although all the academic learning, my best gift was for life. This video remembers me my second day, when my friends and I were supposed to make a safari. Unfortunately we couldn’t see any wildlife, so we got disappointed about that. But, we met people like the ones who show up in this video. I lived a episode like that. (+)

I was really touched that someone else out there realized the deep impending truth that no matter how bad life may seem sometimes, that it is good and that we are alive. We really have nothing to complain about. I will remember this song whenever something happens that makes me think it is the end of the world. Because deep inside I know it is not!! Thank you Alex!
