Tomorrow I`ll stop writing for a while. I mean I gotta take a little break from doing this. I`ve compensated enough. I know my efforts to become a good writer have not been misdirected.

Though I still have a long way to go. I may have blunder in my first attempts to become independent.

Knowing quitting ain`t the answer, I just gotta try harder. Success is coupled with persistence.  That`s why even though I`m a budding educator, I`ve learned a thing or two about good teaching. Not stopping by any means is necessary for me nonetheless. There`s a subtext in the way to become successful. That is to have a plan and persevere. Even from ground zero, one has to be certain about their intentions. Maybe my talk about not giving up will get all, but at least my message is always straightforward. Moreover, we all know that getting to the point in which you can indulge any desire is not easy. Therefore it`s important to syndicate yourself as if you were a product. That way people get to know your work. I`m not hyperbolizing my statements when I say this: For some people it`s impossible to get to the top no matter how hard they try. This may be due to the fact that on occasion it`s important to meet the right people and know how to escalate positions. Even if you did something wrong in the past, you can hide a multitude of sins. As long as you don`t have a criminal record that is. Lastly, I`d say that when striking up a conversation with someone important, your words have to be freighted with enthusiasm. They`ll be more willing to help you if you sound interesting and energetic. It`d be good to avoid faux pas as much as you can too.

Til which point am I gonna keep writing each day? I don`t Know. What I do know is that I love posting on this blog.  Sometimes I feel like excoriating myself for not having study harder back as a kid. I mean I accomplish to handle a good level of English. Though, I would have reach that goal long before if I had pushed myself hard enough. Besides it, I think something else I should have work on overcoming was my shyness. I mean it has prevented me from doing things. Such as getting good jobs for instance. Haggling over the price of stuff would have served me right as well I had been more assertive. I mean I am not exactly a misfit. However, it`s been rough on me to be more social. This excruciating feeling of social anxiety I felt could have been avoided. On the other hand, my relationship with my brother hasn`t been close enough. Even though I didn`t wanna eclipse him. I didn`t wanna be less than him either.

Now I know that actually I should feel ok. Due to the fact that my knowledge has increased instead of slumped. Not caring if people are underwhelmed by my achievements, I remain calm. It`s always crucial to vent your feelings when needed. That`s why I do it whenever I can. Sometimes, others pounce on your opinions to bug you. You shouldn`t let yourself get affected by that is smart. Having a tumbler mentality is important. Every time you fall down, you bounce back. In order to succeed you don`t need to have a dissolute attitude. ¨The end justifies the means¨ should be rebutted as  the only way to glory saying. Wanting to trounce your opponents is not the answer. Anyone with enough preparation and motivation can become a sought-after professional. I hope what I say coincides with what you think about things in general. Apart from this wish this piece of writing has also underline the need to educate yourself as much as you can and believing in your skills. The tag-line of the ultimate joke in life is that you gotta enjoy life and work on your future at the same time.

Steven Johnson: Where good ideas come from

Where do good ideas come from? Well it works out according to the environment that surrounds us.

I would be joking as to saying that going dutch on a date is smart. Due to the fact that you save a little cash. Back to the serious stuff, let`s analyze a little of what Steven Johnson says in his talk. First, he mentioned that there`s a variety of ways to call a good idea. Such as a eureka moment, an epiphany, among others. Besides he added this: it`s not only about having an idea, but incorporating to a particular domain. For instance, instance if they wanna equip  African hospitals with a brand new incubators. They should work well for a few years, notwithstanding they might stop functioning after that. This is because there would no way of repairing them. Due to the lack of technology most African countries have .That`s why a different approach should be used to tackle that problem.  It doesn`t seem flowery at all if you think about it. Moreover, there`s a lot of factors need to be taken into consideration, before any new source of technology or whatever.

Most geniuses would have felt a great compunction if they hadn`t work towards spreading the word on their inventions. Even if they had to deal with untenable criticism and sometimes death. The ones who got to iron out a few obstacles to finally present their final product felt relieved.  It is not easy to settle to your work; to keep up with it til you`re done ain`t easy either. They say that artist are linked with pain. Many writers have committed suicide by the time they were 50. I don`t exactly know why. Nonetheless, it seems that their writing did not work as catharsis for enough time. Life is more than just outpacing your rivals. You have to learn to live with yourself no matter what. We all become embroiled in a dispute with ourselves over what to do next. Every time we achieve something we want to reach the next goal. Some may think that since they have already conquer their ultimate dream at a young age they can die happily. I however, believe that`s a heinous choice.

Steven Pinker: The surprising decline in violence

I recently watched Steven Pinker`s talk about the decline of violence over the years. He charted the history of humanity from the very beginning. That alone made his speech remarkable. In fact he was so good that the master of ceremonies wheedles one more minute of wise remarks out of Pinker. In lieu of being a dull talk full of bombast this was a master piece. Steven`s vivid explanations about the execution of people in the past could render you unhinged. Of course I`m exaggerating, though he did not try to be inconspicuous in his narrations either. Besides, as much of a nitpicker as I am, I didn`t find considerable flaws in this monologue. Weaseling out of using crude words wasn`t even that necessary for Pinker. His description of every event was detailed enough. Apart from this each one of them had and the exact words to inhere in. None of the points he made could be impeached. Moreover, something he did not neglect to use of a few jokes to pepper his speech. A speaker is vested to deliver a good presentation. Notwithstanding, it doesn`t mean he will do it. That`s why I think Steven Pinker nailed it completely. By the way, I couldn`t elaborate more on the talk cause of my excitement. I`m already champing at the beat to becoming a keynote speaker someday. No worries, I`ll post the video.

Overreaching yourself trying to be rich ain`t key to success. I read something like that in proverbs.  

Since they say wealth fades away. Though, pursuing perfection in what you do is not. At least if you are  close to flawlessness, you should be glad. Everyone respects an efficient and down to earth professional. By always being articulate in what your intentions are from the beginning, you can save yourself a lot of trouble. Usually when you`re in a senior position, your nerves jangle if you do something wrong. Apart from having people at your charge, you are morally obliged to teach by example. Your plans to reach  glory will come to fruition after a lot of hard and organized work. Even if the criticism you get is pungent, you won`t care. As long as you do a good job, nothing can be intractable. Sometimes being at the right place at the right time suffices for fortuitous development.
Besides, maybe your figures need a little revamp. Make sure you`re following all the steps of your infallible strategy. Lastly, remember: You don`t keep looks and youth in perpetuity. Therefore make sure you take advantage of them while you can. Just like in business, leverage your time so you get more done.

Nothing could subvert my belief that writing is something that makes me happy. Of course there are other things to do like ogle gorgeous girls. Just kidding, not my style. In order to appreciate beauty there is no need to be a perv. If you wanna get one step further, you might as well start a relationship with the person you like. Some may have experienced unrequited love. No point in getting bilious over it though. Putting yourself out there and looking for other chances is the best solution. Besides, it`s not easy to scuttle a guy`s plan to seduce a girl whom is not interested in him. A chock-full of opportunities await the ones who are willing to move on. That`s why it`s important to heed the wise word of the elderly. They are usually the ones who remind us that nothing is cushy in life. You can mope all day long, meanwhile others are out trying. Otherwise, you could have some fun. Maybe some colleague from your job decides to coordinate a reunion. It may turn out you catch up with a prissy girl from the past you never got a chance to know so well. There is your chance. Hence, always keep yourself primped. Not only would you get the chance to reminisce about happy times with old friends. You could also score. Lots of excuses exist for being poor deadbeat. Notwithstanding, it`s much better not to waste your life being like that. Even if you have a murky past, you can leave that all behind. Almost every single problem has a solution. Dissecting this quandaries and looking for ways of solving them seems best. Even though this general tips appear to be only for a male audience, females also can relate to it. Never carry a torch for anybody!

Pick Up Girls on ABC Nightline (+playlist)

It seems that I`m making up for the time lost in January. Indeed, I was in the propinquity of finding something fun to do during vacation time. In the meantime, I`ve found a YouTube channel called ¨Simple Pickup¨. Instead of watching those videos for advice, I do it so I can get a laugh. Not that I`m an expert in flirtation. Though, I bet I can get better without those tips. If I had to give an appraisal to this site, it would be high. These three guys Jason, Kong, and Jessie get involved in so many funny situations that it is unreal. One of them even started out being a timorous boy. Notwithstanding, now they all are so damn confident to the point of saying nasty things to girls just for fun on numerous occasions. They of course suggest that you don`t have to fib to be attractive. In fact they go from topics like looks don`t matter to short buds can get dates too. Not making headlong decisions is one thing. Nonetheless, not making them whatsoever doesn`t help either. For instance, the fact of not asking somebody out just cause of fear. Getting rid of social anxiety is key to overcome interaction challenges. Even though they advise not to focus so much on good looks, it`s important to smarten up yourself as much as possible. Hygiene matters. Especially keeping that priapic zone clean. Girls just may have a gander at your appearance overall. Will you have a great time if you check out this site! PS: Only boys allowed...

From tomorrow on, I`m gonna have a free month. Therefore, I might as well be on the qui vive for leisure activities. Since my dance class is about to finish. Apart from what I said it`d important to consider this: Sometimes the results from things you were expecting seem counter-intuitive. Hence, having an infident nature is important to survive these days. I can surmise that from now on I`ll be just fine. Til I figure out what else to do with my life. To me an smart analogy would be that reaching goals is as hard as getting rid of  belly flab. Moreover, stoking up motivation for yourself can help you fight adversities. To recap, I need to find out some way to christen my new sneakers. I was stoked about taking a karate class a while ago. Notwithstanding nowadays, I`m more into capoeira. Anyhow, I just realized I left my door unlocked. Before any crook jimmies the lock, I`ll go and secure it. PS. I`m gonna suss out how not to get bored this forthcoming vacation. If I find something, I`ll let you know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was excited cause today was my last day teaching that ESL course. Though I still gotta hand in some papers. What a bummer. Norms form the mainstay of this program. I might just follow them. Besides, from now on I`ll have more time to get ready for school. My certificate has been reprieved though, til I turn in those papers. Anyhow, for my writing to be up to par I have to be focused. One of the things I`ve realized is that we all run into bogeys. Things that scare us for no reason. For example, our negative thoughts before even taking up a challenge. In order to progress however, we can`t afford half baked plans. We need to chew over our strategies. For instance, many have been baying for improvements in education since forever. Maybe you can be one of the people who starts changing things. Having a great idea can set off an epoch of prosperity. Every economy goes through troughs. Nonetheless if its citizens and politicians work together, nothing is impossible. Lastly, I`d say that one of the reasons why many of our youngsters end up being goons is lack of motivation. After a teen finishes high school, it`s hard for them to figure out what to do with their lives. Apart from this, coming from a poor family can narrow down their possibilities. Maybe I went off the tangent. Nevertheless, I wanted to mention that aforesaid statement.

While trying to download an Nintendo emulator for my computer I almost fuck it up. I mean I`m not ten anymore. Though I ain`t a wizened old man either. Hoping some game would jog my memory, I didn`t succeed. Mostly I shrink from trouble. However I don`t know if running into an stupid computer virus falls into that category. Usually when I`m asked to play a video game, I accept without demur. Ever since I was six I`ve been enjoying them.  Not because I was an impressionable kid, but for the reason that I`ve always liked fantasizing. Who doesn`t wanna emulate a top-notch soccer player or a super hero?. At least you can do it in the virtual world. My perfunctory efforts to do my homework back in school we in fact dull. Whereas my passion for consoles was great.  Nothing would placate me more after a family quarrel than a few hours seated on a TV screen. Even though, I enjoyed sports as well, I wasn`t very social. That drifted me apart from them; ending up jogging, which is a lone activity. Besides, the most amazing experience I`ve had so far with consoles has been after playing ¨Kinect¨ without a doubt. This particular game called ¨Dance Central¨ makes you move your whole body at the rhythm of the music. To me this game was a token of shamelessness. It doesn`t matter whether you`re a good dancer or not; by the same token you can actually learn by escalating through the levels. Many of the choreographies from popular pop songs are available. You even have the chance to unlock some more. Anyhow, I`m glad I`m not into that anymore...

Being satiated by bad thoughts ain`t good at all. For the past two posts I`ve been talking about motivation. Though I gotta admit sometimes you can`t help feeling down. Starting out in a hot summer day I decided not to take one of the buses I usually take to get to the school in which I`m teaching ESL. Figuring it`d be nice to walk just a little. After that, I got to the place. Not as early as I was expecting however. I mean I was still on time, but somebody had arrived before me. That usually doesn`t happen. This girl that of course is in the same college as I am started chatting with me. We got to converse about our summer practice credits and so on. Nonetheless, the fact that I hadn`t followed my routine step by step bugged me. There is something I usually do before each class I teach. That is to read from my journal. Still though, I got to do it. Not in the same pace and taking the same time nevertheless. That sole fact addled me a little. Apart from that something curious happened today at class. Before I got into the room one of the kids brought a pigeon into the classroom. It seems this brats wanna antagonize me no matter what. The principal scolded them a bit after they got rid of it. Anyhow, this hasn`t been my day so far. Things will pick up I guess. A bright future beckons for me. Since I don't want to end up being just a figurehead. In lieu, becoming a person who can really influence their society is better. Maybe someday after I finish my studies a veteran professor will vacate an awesome position for me.

Have you heard about the term ¨atychiphobia¨?. Well, it means fear to failure. We all have it, though some of us deal with it better than others. Even if you`re a fervid hard worker, it is still hard to get by. That`s why it is important to keep grounded, and determined. There ain`t warlock that is gonna predict our future. What there is nonetheless, is a strong will to make something out of ourselves. We have no time to waste on hokey lamentations every time we fail at something. Our ability to stand up and never look back is what keep us strong. Just like water is sterilized so we can drink it; our minds can be sterilized by ourselves if we want to. Lots of ideas still unexplored are there. Consequently, one of us can put them on the map. Success is predicate on motivation and perseverance. So that, if there is something that can uplift you, it is your own will. For instance, the best way to recover from depression is to throw yourself into a whirlwind of activities. By keeping your mind occupied for a long time, you avoid negative thoughts to take over. Lastly, I`d say that even if your career path mapped out, do not underestimate fate. You never know what may happen... Therefore, the more you learn, the better prepared you are for what life can put on your way.

I`m taking dance classes now. Though I have two left feet, I`m handling my own. My instructor told me to start off with salsa. Let`s see what happens... I wanna get to the point in which I`m not a pitiable dancer anymore. Of course this class is a trip down memory lane. Given the fact that we used to do choreographies back in school. To start things up, I`d like to talk a little about motivation. Getting advice from anybody can reassure you. Even from an acquaintance. People who remind us that we are all born with a heavenly talent do care. I may not be great at dancing, though, I`m a good writer. Anyhow, before you slump down in bed after a hard day`s work; think about this: I have tried doing this, and so on. Just focus in what you have accomplished during each day. Positive thoughts will keep you running. The key to success is not always to go into overdrive. You have to plan out your way of reaching a goal. Besides, you need to be careful in making decisions. The ones who decide in haste often screw up. When refusing an insane proposal you gotta be curt. Conversely, when thanking somebody for suggesting you the right thing, you have to be considerate. As dusty as your future may appear to be, there`s always a way to light it up. It is possible to turn a false memory into something real. To finish, I`d say that even though you can`t let grass grow under your feet, you shouldn`t rush into doing something wrong either. There`s a myriad of options you can take. 

How To Plan Your Day

How to plan out your day? This is something that seems to be hard. There is a bunch of activities you gotta do in a short-term period in order to achieve your long-term goals. Every single day you wake up in the morning you gotta start out fresh. The best way to do this is by having a daily written plan of all your tasks. Not only will it help you keep track of your chores but you also will be able to cross off the ones that are done.  Besides, it is important to review the tasks you will perform the night before. So that you have a better shot at doing them well.  Following this tips you`ll be certain no to get bustled out of an interview for being late. Many applicants tussle for job/college positions. it`s important to be prepared. Also do not let anybody hustle you into making the wrong decision. By having an organized plan, you can prove wrong those who rush you. Not always do people give good advice. For instance, a friend may suggest you chuck your job. According to him you are more capable of setting up on your own with what you`ve saved up. Though, you decide not to do it. To finish, I`d say that you have to keep your mind positive and never give up!

Top 10 Job Interview Do's and Don'ts

There are things in life that are more annoying that the zits that appear on our face during puberty.  For instance, the fact of being rejected in a job interview. Nowadays, more that a good resumè, you need attitude. Employers can smell whether you are confident or not from yards away.  What has been echoed for years by experts is that you need to use techniques to sell yourself as a product. The way you dress, talk, the fact that you don`t show desperation, among others. . Lots of ways are there to apply for your desired job. Though, you gotta do a little research about the company you`re interested in before even sending your application. Back to the resumè part. It may not be as important as how you show yourself. However, sometimes employers only get to see them. Therefore, it`s important for a resumè to be concise and practical. Avoid adding details. State a short description of yourself and your personal info at the top. Besides, list your  previous experience and educational background in separate sections and the bottom part. A CV that is devoid of briefness won`t even be considered. During the interview stage, it`s sometimes hard to articulate word. This is due to nervousness. What you have to remember here is: No matter how intimidating the person seated in front of you looks, it`s still a person. Maybe you`ve heard crap about them from other applicants. Use that as an advantage to boost your confidence. Not the other way around. There are even courses you can take that articulate with higher job pursues. Use your attitude, and willingness to learn to offset the lack of qualifications you may have for a position. Lastly I`d say that it`s never to late to start building your network and organizing your options to get a good chance for success.

It`s normal to have ambivalent feelings towards life. Not everything turns out well all the time. Everyone´s dreams with the day in which the are finally gonna be lionized for their achievements.

In some cases though, it doesn`t even happen. Life insists on setting up challenges that get harder each day. Pursuing a goal means to have a reason to wake up early in the morning every day. It also means being diligent in your work. Who wouldn`t wanna run into a magical gizmo that can grant wishes?. Then again, there is the saying: ¨If wishes were horses, beggars might ride¨. Jonesing for stuff doesn`t make it happen. One has to go through several upheavals and follow an orderly plan to get results. We also gotta take into account that along the way of working towards our goal, we are gonna get hurt. Funny thing is that what goes around comes around. People who rejected us in the past may need our help now. They even may try shedding crocodile tears to get our attention. To finish, I`d say that life can hit you harder than levy on property. However, you can always be prepared for forthcoming challenges.

Slang... something we use in our everyday lives to express ourselves more comfortably. Not only is it used out of laziness, but as sounding more relaxed when speaking. Besides, we all know that many foreign words composed the English language as well. For instance, the word ¨gesundheit¨ that comes form German and means: A way to wish somebody good health after they`ve sneezed. There`s a whole bunch of more words without a doubt. Even combinations of already existing slang words coined by artists among others. A good example would be the term ¨fugly¨, which is a mix between the swear words fucking and ugly. Anyhow, I don`t mean to sound vulgar. Just being illustrative and not derivative in my explanations. Not wanting this piece of writing waterlogged with malarkey, I`ll go on without being verbose. Last but not least, there is an expression that derives from Latin. This one is called ¨quid pro quo¨ and means equal exchange. I taught her Math, she helped me out with my History homework. Quid prod quo. Even a halfwit would understand that last one explanation. To sum up, I`d say it is amazing how this language has evolved in such an interesting manner. These changes herald a lot more new slang incorporated into English.

It ain`t easy to get rid of that feeling of inertia when you`re down in the dumps. Ever since I started this blog it seems that I`ve been like that. Though, it`s not true I`ve had my ups and downs. It`s just that I don`t see anything auspicious coming for me in the foreseeable future. Who doesn`t wanna end up having a boffo career. Of course, that by complaining and sitting on my ass all day long I ain`t gonna achieve much. Though, I do think that moving out would help me look for new chances. What I`m saying now is not something secret I wanted to disclose. I`ve always been fond of modern civilizations. Unfortunately where I come from doesn`t stand in that category. Living in a place where everything is in a tangle doesn`t exactly give me hope. For so long my personal goals had been subjugated by my family`s control. That`s something I allowed to happen. Anyway, I could be airing my grievances in squiggles written on a piece of paper. Instead, I`m doing it here. Lastly, I`d say that I wish I find my way soon enough. Everyone does at some point of their lives.

It`s never a good thing to come down with a flu. Though it`s been happening to me lately. This may be due to the fact that I`m teaching an elementary ESL class twice a week. Of course, this course is required to earn credits and nothing more. One of the kids may have infected me. Since I`m not a gregarious individual, I don`t conceive the chance of me having got sick by one of my few friends. Anyhow, something that I`ve been meaning to talk about is the fact that there is something which has always enthralled me. I`m talking about beauty in general. Not only female beauty, which is one oh the things I admire the most, but enchanting landmarks among others. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, there`s people that can`t by any stretch of the imagination be called pretty. Why am I talking about this? Well, I consider myself a superficial person. Not entirely, though I enjoy a lot being entranced by not only the physical, but also the intellectual charm of some. If there`s something I now rue is not having considered the spiritual value of people before. We all now that physical features deteriorate through time, whereas peoples values and wit will endure til the end. What about the attractiveness of the various places one can see?. In fact, I`ve been lucky enough to appreciate natural wonders such as Niagara Falls and Machu Picchu. What learned about those places is that I could notice the positive energy the exude.

Something I`ve been thinking about lately is the fact that I can take  more active part in some of my   future hobbies. For instance, I`ve always been fond of singing. Though, I never got a chance to take a class before. Besides humming tunes in the shower and singing to a bunch of people once; I have not really taken it seriously. My pesky negativeness notwithstanding, I will find a way around it.

Since my personality is not so effervescent, maybe taking up singing would cheer me up. Will I keep it in mind before my enthusiasm peters out. Moreover, anything that helps me dissipate that shy attitude I have towards things is welcomed. It`s no hokum that to deal with it one has to put themselves out there. I do agree that being uneducated for example can be socially divisive. Well so does being shy. Some may argue that in fact being insecure is misinterpreted as being shy. Insecurity doesn`t allow you to  make use of all the opportunities that come into your path. Besides, I`ve realized that no matter where you come from; in order to be noticed and succeed you gotta be confident in what you do. Plus, in societies like mine in which almost everything is dreck one has to be rather assertive and even aggressive. Just by browsing through the local papers I come to convince myself even more of how screwed we Peruvians really are in terms of education and other matters. A country doesn`t need to be the simulacrum of another to progress. A nation who really cares about its people should rather get rid of backward-looking politicians. Anyhow, I went from talking about my private life to politics. It`s just that my writing is a little rusty. I`ll focus on more inspiring topics for my next posts.

I actually haven`t written anything for over a month; due to the fact that Gmail has changed its settings. Thus, it took me some time to figure out how to access my account once again. Anyhow, I haven`t been doing that well recently. The reason for this maybe cause I focus on my shortcomings most of the time. Besides, I do think that blaming my folks on top of the aforesaid statement ain`t helpful either. At this point of my life, I`ve realized I can`t do anything at random. Plus, sitting on my duff all day long ain`t gonna help me accomplish anything whatsoever. Looking back at my high school days, I still remember that I wanted to do something great with my life after I finished. Instead, I got badgered into getting into a crappy college. By the way, what`s the point of bringing this up?. Well, it does remind me of the fact that I`ve forborne from saying NO so many times. Not only that, but also not being able to make crucial decisions about my life. Of course family pressure was one of the reasons for my demeanor, though, my timid personality also did its part. A forthright appreciation of what I`ve recounted so far would be following: There`s in fact hope for this perturbed 21 year old. My fate ain`t a forgone conclusion, though I`d better be careful from now on. Lastly, I`d say that it`s been kind of dumb from me not to share this blog with everyone I know. So, starting now, I`ll disseminate all the content of this blog by posting a link of it on Facebook. That way I won`t need to pull any of my theatrics to get followers. PS: If were talking to you all right now, I`d say in a husky voice... ¨It`s good to be back¨
