If you wanna make the variables to be used by all of your system ( users
and daemons ) you can place them in /etc/profile, too.

Bash reads ~/.bash_profile for login sessions and ~/.bashrc for
non-login sessions.

    De la observación de la irreductibilidad de las creencias últimas
    he sacado la mayor lección de mi vida. Aprendí a respetar las ideas
    ajenas, a detenerme ante el secreto de las conciencias, a entender
    antes de discutir, a discutir antes de condenar. Y como estoy en
    vena de confesiones, hago una más, quizás superflua: detesto con
    toda mi alma a los fanáticos.
