I worked for about thirty years in a public sector departmant and I could see two diferents groups of people. One that only worried about the present and the other that was down to earth. The first only got debts while the second got prosperity.

A couple of months ago, I had this crazy idea of moving to a place here in Bahia called Alphaville. You really don't need to be a down to earth person to understand that you can't live there, because the price, oh the price, that is really unbelievable.

I work at a company that holds many meetings in English with our clients. But I know that I have to be a down to earth person and understand that I can only be part of the meetings when I feel confident for that.
That is why I have been studying English a lot.

My father used to tell me that I had to save money to buy my on house instead of spending that with foolish things. It took me sometime to understand that I had to be a down to earth person.

There is this guy in my team who is always late for our trainings, and sometimes fall asleep during the coach's instructions. I learned that the reason why he has such a behavior is because he goes to bed very late at night and goes all parties he can and drink a lot. He should be a down to earth person and understand that there is no place for him here if he continues that way

There are many people who believe that in order to get something in their lives, they need to step over others. Some create a character to interact with groups that are not part of their true environment. I believe that we need to be down to earth, and always be authentic with ourselves and with others, so that life would be easier

Today I had a big test at school and of course I spent a long time studying for that. Before the test, I asked a friend "Are you prepared for the exam?" and she replied: "I didn´t have time to study because I was wacthing the new TV series on Netflix. It´s fantastic! The plot is amazing, the actors..." and I said "You really aren´t a down to Earth person are you?"

When I was young, I always dreamed of having my own house, that is down to earth. That's why I worked very hard to  save money and buy one. I can't recall the number of times that I had to say no to many things in my life, but I am glad that I am under a roof today.

I used to be a religious person when I was a kid, but now these religious stuff, I mean, to believe in something or someone from heaven, does not make sense to me anymore. Now, I prefer to be a more down to earth person.

My mother seems to be very crazy at times because she never listens to what I say. She always spends more than she can afford. I always tell her she needs to be a down to earth person and figure out the things by herself.

In difficult times, there is always someone who runs away from their responsibility. We may understand from this behavior that that person isn't a down to earth one!

All throughout my life, I have seen my grandmother buying more than she can, exceding the limit of her credit card and talking about things that she doesn't know. It's like she lives in her own world. My mommy always talks serious with her because she needs to be a down to earth person! We even had to block her bank account! Despite it all, she is still doing all the way she wants.

I think I can't have a better example of the opposite of down to earth as my uncle. He is almost 40 years old and behaves as if he were 18. He spends his money with foollish things, only worries about games and closes his eyes to anything else.

For me 'down to earth' means knowing that it is possible to conquer everything you want, as long as you plan carefully, work hard and intelligently and understand the things you can and those you can't.

My wife's cousin is crazy. He opened his business with money from other people, worked for 4 months and one day, decided to take a vacation of two weeks. He ended up closing the business and paying everyone he owed because he isn't a down to earth person.

This week is the last one before the elections in Brazil. You know who my favorite candidate is because I've already told you.
However I need to be a down to earth person and understand that my candidate would only be President when pigs fly but I'm going to give it a try.
