Edição Histórica 256
Have you ever experienced an apparently wrong decision that ended up being a good one – or vice versa? To take this month’s issue’s titles, for example, what if you felt you bought “the wrong McCartney,” and found out that the boy is actually very talented? Or if you moved to NYC, only to find it’s getting too expensive? Or what about trading your MySpace profile for a nice garden shed? Even more unexpected: how about a janitor teaching a lesson or two to the company’s CEO? So, if you open your eyes, there might be a lot more to see than the first evaluation would suggest – and some surprises could come straight from heaven! Besides the magazine, we hope you enjoy Speak Up’s special gift for you this month: a one-year free subscription to Britannica Online. Just follow the instructions on the card (or in the relevant article), and tell us what do you think! Not bad, eh? Happy reading!
