Pure Life!!!

in #culture7 years ago (edited)

Hello there! I hope everything is going good with you! :)

Today I want to share with you about the meaning of my username "Pura vida".

A phrase that you will hear and see everywhere in Costa Rica is "Pura vida", this term has been present in Costa Rica for over 50 years. Pura vida is so much more then just a phrase, it is our culture and way of life.

Costa Ricans (ticos) we use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, or even to let people know everything's good!

Costa Ricans don't just let the term bring them a good life, it's the way they use it in their everyday attitud to make them happy, pura vida means that people need to be grateful for the things they do have in life, instead of dwelling on the negative things that they don't. The phrase shows that no matter how bad you may think you have it, life for someone else can be far more less fortunate then your own. Life is too short to be worried and upset, everyone needed to make the most of life! The locals strive to live a stress free, laid-back life and they believe that their motto "Pura vida" perfectly exemplifies how the locals live.

Hello @abhin and @davidstefanatto. Thank you for your comments.

Since yesterday I'm trying to fix my post, for some reason my post didn't go thru as I wanted. I asked for help to fix my problem.

My reason in Steemit it's not to steal peoples credits, Like I said in my first post I'm here to grow and help people to grow as well. From the very beginning I tried to post every single detail about my post and give to pura vida bracelets and Matifdesing their credit because they have done an amazing job back home. I took pura vida bracelets post becasuse they did a good job describing the meaning of pura vida.

There's not shame to post peoples job as long as you give them their credits and I'm totally agreed with you @abhin there is my update, finally I got what I wanted, Thanks for comment my post, I'm learning and trying to get better.

I'm not trying to make a bad reputation or get red flags, I'm here to help and learn!

My apologies! Pura vida :)

Yes, please see the welcome info I shared on how to best source your content. The Google doc even gives you the exact code to use within your posts. Definitely never copy and paste from another site on the Internet. Cheetah will find it. ;-)

Well,I did the same mistake when I was new to steemit and it cause a damage to me!! So I don't wanted that someone else also get that damage!!
I would also suggest to have a look at Markdown styling guide it can make your post look more great!!Greetings !!

Hello @abhin ! Thank you so much for your advice, I will check it out! :)

Pura vida MAE,
Pretty sure the mae (sorry if misspelled) is unique to Costa Rica. You can tell someone is from CR just by hearing them say MAE.
The equivalent to Wei in Mexico, or Tio in other spanish speaking countries.

Hola Mae!!! hahaha! You did it very good!! I can see you really know about my home that's very cool, thank you for your comments, I'll be posting about Costa Rica soon, I hope you'll like it :)

Thanks for the valuable information :)
