Nicolas was a young man with a beautiful wife and children when he was convicted for the murder of three boys. With no power against the law, Nicolas took his punishment as his life was turned upside down forever. For once, his future was completely out of his control. Nicolas found himself barely surviving in one of the worst prisons in South America. Every day was a fight for survival, to not step on the toes of any of the inmates or cross paths with the wrong prison gang. Some may think you are safer in prison than on the streets, but the reality is very different. Every day Nicolas woke up, he knew he was closer to his release, but farther from his sanity. He kept track of the years, and his life, as it passed him by. Only so much starvation, torture, death, and cockroaches could break a man, no matter how strong. And the worst part was that Nicolas would live within the prison of his mind for the rest of his life.
This is the true story of a taxi driver in America. His name is Julio Cesar, and he came to America with a dream to create a new life. Little did he know that the life of a taxi driver would bring him more struggle, pain, deceit, and illegality than any other career he could have dreamed of calling his own. Julio Cesar entered this career blindly, only to face more moments of questioning humanity, loyalty, and his future than had he chosen to stay in his old life. Sometimes, the risks we take far outweigh the possible repercussions we may face, and Julio Cesar is living proof of that.
Sin las experiencias y aventuras de mis hermanos y hermanas, este libro no tendría los condimentos necesarios para obtener una receta casi perfecta. Cuando empezé a escribir el libro hace más de veinte años, no pensé que tomaría tanto tiempo ni sería tan complicado. Este libro no se lee como una novela ya que es acumulativo y no progresivo. Esta no es solamente una historia de mi viaje desde Colombia hacia América. Es una historia verdadera acerca de amor, dificultades, viajes, Aventura, lágrimas y, en última instancia, felicidad. Una familia tan grande como la mía compartió un sueño en común: estar juntos en los Estados Unidos de América. No hubo ninguna razón para elegir los métodos para llegar hasta aquí, pero al final del día, nuestro amor y devoción nos trajo a donde Dios nos habia destinado a estár: en la tierra de la libertad. Fuimos mas que mojados, nos amábamos y tuvimos fé.
Nicolás era un hombre joven con una hermosa esposa e hijos cuando fue condenado por el asesinato de tres jóvenes. Sin ningún poder contra la ley, Nicolás aceptó el castigo mientras su vida daba un vuelco total para siempre y su futuro estaba fuera de su control. Nicolás se encontró sobreviviendo en una de las peores prisiones de Sur América. Cada día era una lucha constante al final por sobrevivir, evitando problemas con los otros presos o cruzarse con la pandilla equivocada. Algunos pensarían que se está más seguro dentro de la prisión que afuera en la calle, pero la realidad es muy diferente. Cada día que Nicolás se despertaba, sabía que estaba más cerca de su liberación, pero más lejos de su cordura. Contaba los años que pasaban lentamente y veía con tristeza como la vida se le iba. Tanta hambre, tortura, muerte, cucarachas pueden doblegar el espiritu de un hombre, no importa lo fuerte que sea. Lo peor de todo era que Nicolás viviría dentro de la prisión de su mente por el resto de su vida.
Esta es la historia verdadera de un taxista en los Estados Unidos. Su nombre es Julio Cesar, y vino a los Estados Unidos con el sueño de crearse un nuevo estilo de vida. Poco sabía que la vida de taxista le traería más problemas, dolor, decepción e ilegalidad que cualquier otra carrera con la que él pudo haber soñado. Cuando Julio Cesar escogió esta carrera, lo hizo a ciegas sin saber que iba a tener que cuestionarse acerca de la naturaleza humana, la lealtad y su futuro que si hubiera decidido quedarse en su antiguo estilo de vida. A veces, los riesgos que corremos superan con creces las posibles consecuencias que podemos enfrentar, y Julio César es la prueba viviente de ello.

Eighth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulations in 183 economies, Doing Business 2011 measures regulations affecting 10 areas of everyday business activity: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and closing a business. The report updates all 10 sets of indicators, ranks countries on their overall ease of doing business and analyzes reforms to business regulation- identifying which countries are improving strengthening their business environment the most and which ones slipped. Doing Business 2011 includes results on the ongoing research in the area of "getting electricity" and illustrates how reforms in business regulations can translate into better outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and the wider economy. It also focuses on how women in particular are affected by complex business regulations.
