Impulso solar

Un avión impulsado por energía solar viajara a través de los Estados Unidos, de costa a costa, sin usar una sola gota de combustible. El avión ha sido fabricado en Suiza y es conocido por el nombre de Impulso Solar. El viaje ha sido planeado en cinco etapas, la primera se completará esta semana desde San Francisco, California, hasta Phoenix, Arizona. Cada vuelo tomara de 20 a 25 horas, ya que el avión viaja a 60 kilómetros por hora. La intención es demostrar el potencial que esta tecnología limpia podría tener en el futuro.

Thank you Carlos for sharing the video above. Here is the story in English:

One day Paul met with her friend Laura for coffee and began to tell her about his troubles: work, money, his relationship with his partner, his vocation ... Everything seemed to be wrong in his life.
So Laura took from his bag a 500 euro bill and said, "You want this?". Paul, confused, replied: "Of course, who would not want 500 euro?". At the time she took the bill, crumpled it in a little ball, showed it to Paul and asked again: "Do you still want it?". "Yes, they are still 500 euro. If you want to give it to me, of course I want it" replied Paul. Laura unfolded the bill, threw it to the ground and rubbed her foot over it. With the bill all dirty and marked up, she said, "Do you still want it?".
"Look, I do not understand where you're going, but until you break it, the bill retains its value," said Paul. Then, Laura concluded: "Although something does not go as you want, though life steps on or wrinkles you, you're still as valuable as ever been. What you should ask is how valuable you are rather than how beaten you're at a particular time. " Laura put the crumpled bill on the table and with a smile said: "Take, keep it  to be mindful of this when you feel bad, but you owe me a bill for 500 euro to use it with the next friend in need".
Paul looked at the bill, smiled, put it in his pocket and then he felt his energy renewed.
