10 lessons about life from Albert Einstein

1.       Follow your curiosity.

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”

2.       Perseverance is priceless.

 “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

3.       Focus on the present.

“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”

4.       The imagination is powerful.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

5.       Make mistakes.

 “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

6.       Live in the moment.

“I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”

7.       Create value.

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

8.       Don’t be repetitive.

 “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

9.       Knowledge comes from experience.

“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”

10.   Learn the rules and then play better.

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

Minimum warranty period for consumer goods in Spain is 2 years

The minimum warranty period for consumer goods in Spain is set by law to be 2 years (for new products). In case of second hand products it is minimum 1 year.

Consumer goods are defined to be movable goods for private consumption/use such as:

 

  • Optical instruments and equipment, photography, watches and music
  • Tools, knives, cutlery and other common metal manufacturing
  • Furniture, home furnishings, accessories and household goods
  • Appliances, electrical, electronic and computer and software
  • Vehicles and spare parts
  • Toys, games for recreation and sport
  • Dwelling

For reference http://cec.consumo-inc.es/cec/secciones/ayuda/Derechos/Espana/Derechos/Garantias_es.asp

The problem is that many companies for example, Dell, HP, Apple, Canon and many others write in the warranty card of the warranty period of the purchased items is 1 year which violates the already set law buy the state. If your purchased item breaks between the 1st and 2d year after you have bought it and the seller refuses to repair it for free  then you should show the seller the text from the link above.
