It wasn't easy though. My family relies on me and mostly depends of my income so I had to think about a real strategy to overcome the upcoming difficulties, not only paying the bills, housing, but to create real clients so that I could have my income flow sufficient to cover all my basic necessities for me and my family. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I tried to pour on my mind positiveness instead of claiming about how hard life is. One of the thoughts I had present and stuck in my head was "I'd prepared for this for so long". For real, making this was something I was craving since I was in my past job and start my own company, but I never find myself encouraged to make that decision because of fear of the unknown. Certainly, a vast majority of people about things that hadn't happened yet, so it is hard to say but there is a lot of potential locked up while we are wrapped around those conformist mindsets. I roughly lived that and I was not willing to stick with that mentality. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">"A mistake repeated more than once is a decision" - Paulo Coelho. </span></div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Even though current setbacks were unfavorable to me, I tried to keep up towards my new achievements, because I was on the boat with turbulent water, so I couldn't get out from it. I believe in the law of attraction. It is something about the things you attract are according to the amount and type of energy you create. I was trying to define myself as a successful being and point that out to every relative, friend and acquaintance. It was not easy at first glance, because I was not receiving work requests and my bills were about to due, but in the edge of my due dates somebody called me for help, and I got paid so I could pay my compromises. To make the story short, I started receiving calls from people who I didn't expect to call me for work requests, so I feel something out of my conception was happening. It is a grand blessing when doors open towards your goals, yet sometimes the struggle was real, but at this moment work done last year is starting to fruit, and this is the reason of the title of this posts, I am grabbing the crop, but I don't want to think myself I achieved everything, it is the starting point though. The crop is huge and it's impossible to collect everything in a moment. It takes time and there are setbacks indeed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wanted to share this experience in my blog journal because I hadn't written for so long and one of my biggest achievements I am craving for is to become a writer, so if I don't start now, I never will. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you!</div><br /><p></p>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-61600846724347245392021-10-22T23:28:00.005-07:002021-10-22T23:28:49.580-07:00First Attempt<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTeHrmzaCq6_gpDhOdfQ-LMoeJ5KqhC4ke2OVZ9L58PLMUIQCkfXW_UjzTVzQm_K2vZ_yZ55t6VYnzKwAzPuchcocgQWixfjoCyBwtd7XE6O4SR4aXQOdghivpBfKNXHcHLJV5k10HtY/s2048/D66CC5F0-5533-4670-BB07-04DF225BEC65.heic" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTeHrmzaCq6_gpDhOdfQ-LMoeJ5KqhC4ke2OVZ9L58PLMUIQCkfXW_UjzTVzQm_K2vZ_yZ55t6VYnzKwAzPuchcocgQWixfjoCyBwtd7XE6O4SR4aXQOdghivpBfKNXHcHLJV5k10HtY/s320/D66CC5F0-5533-4670-BB07-04DF225BEC65.heic" /></a></div>
The best way to determine if you are ready for something new is to be into it even if you were not ready for that. It's kind of weird specially if according to the inexistent but mental traceable life's plan you were meant to be at a certain level of success at this point, but none of that had happened quite a bit. I remember in a job interview I had 15 years ago, which I acknowledge it was a bit disturbing because the interviewer never landed straightforward to the point of it, yet one of the questions was: How do you look yourself in 10 years? Interesting question I sighed. I don't exactly remember my answer, but it was something like: "myself looks like a realized man with his own house, stepping upward to the highest hierarchy position in the company I'll be working on, traveling to many countries, in a few words, I look myself successful". I have to say that I fantasized a lot, yet it could be because of my age during that time. When you live your life in your early 20's everything is wonderful, which is awesome, so you fuel companies, projects with fresh and new ideas that can boost them in a positive way. However, after those 10 years, nothing of the words I said to the interviewer happened, yet it is kind of discouraging though. Even though I'd attained moments that made me the happiest man on earth, like my marriage, when my daughters born, personal achievements, traveling, and so on; I am not the person I described on that interview, and I still think that I should start from zero in this moment, so everything made during those years can be called my First Attempt.
<div><br /></div><div>Basically, when you are playing a game where a winner should come out, even though if the opponent had scored against you, there is always not only one more chance to score back, but several ones to turn the result favorable to you. The footprint value when we leave this world will depend on how we worked throughout our life to help others, not in the amount of wealth you made. I remember a good piece of advise an elder man said to me some years ago: "In this life you make history regardless of who you are. What type of history do you want to be remembered with? You can either make good history or bad history, but it'll be history anyways". It always hit me hard when I recall that advise, because time goes on very fast, and that words become stronger year by year. I would add to that advise: Depending of the relevance you did on this life, your history could be unnoticed. So, if you are blessed with the gift of life, never is too late to take some action if you want to leave this world wether with a history to narrate about you or a blank page about you. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today is a great time for a reassessment of all the actions to be done in order to make the second attempt, in case the first was unsatisfactory or undone. Sometimes we need hurtful stimuli to push ourselves to act quickly. To give you an example, one stimulus can be a job loss. When your main source of income is watering and you know that you'll have positive balance at the end of the week, it's easy to critique others and entitle yourself against the non-privileged ones. So then, plot twist and the fountain of your weekly income has cut off, it definitely forces you to take actions, yet it can be painful if you needed that income to cover basic needs and to provide to your dependents. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, what the second attempt will be? Think about it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you!!</div>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-47403104212509688012021-04-04T22:14:00.000-07:002021-04-04T22:14:02.094-07:00George Floyd and Victoria Salazar<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw9vUNazdOM7sWjyOjfJ-APWScTpPCoVooQpVN9Py9wSzR7bhrIAOy9RfJ_0uh_qxYFRtPJoeUc26-Waacwfvy20OqXh6YqgbevydDBfYVO_S39Cd4nLSvTPCexDgb_uv9tusp6CrFb_o/s1200/Justicia-para-victoria-Tulum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw9vUNazdOM7sWjyOjfJ-APWScTpPCoVooQpVN9Py9wSzR7bhrIAOy9RfJ_0uh_qxYFRtPJoeUc26-Waacwfvy20OqXh6YqgbevydDBfYVO_S39Cd4nLSvTPCexDgb_uv9tusp6CrFb_o/s320/Justicia-para-victoria-Tulum.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image by <a href="https://twitter.com/sirakiry/status/1376340048891707395">@sirakiry</a></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p><br /></p><p>Abuse of power is the most inappropriate use of authority in any form. When somebody is in charge whichever the commanding position is, it is not enough to deprive people from their rights but lead a person to death it can be considered a ruthless way to exert their authority. Entities like The Police Corps are entitled to employ the force when it comes to execute the rule of law because any culprit wouldn't be that peaceful upon committing crimes, in most of the cases, they face fully armed criminals so the police should be prepared with the same or even better weaponry than their opponents. </p><p>Taking a look around to most of all police departments it's familiar to us the motto "Serve and Protect". Of course those two words comes to our mind when we look to an officer walking around us. However, this article recalls two recent events which show a different appreciation about the Police. On May 25th 2020, the world was witness of a cruel video which displays a police officer pinning a handcuffed man to the ground using his knee on his neck. His name is George Floyd and his crime was paying with a counterfeit $20 bill. After about 9 minutes of having the officer's knee pressing his neck, Floyd lost consciousness, and in a few minutes the paramedics declared him dead. A question surges, did he deserve to be killed just for a counterfeit $20 bill? This question and the fact that Floyd was a black man and the officer Derek Chauvin is a white man it leads to a racial hate crime. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPfBHsFZ-39vzTPrjR2CJWDWNRwRWyOqEuYqlxJPDXK_AHTvvMWlAQOApekdrttRq4S24oIWx-d6Bl3Om3HjnR1VgBdmBqAsQ0Ki7K5iyD9q_7jUdeGjyHhoFKcLmnVsdLyeEbxL8g280/s1200/The-trial-for-the-death-of-George-Floyd-against-Derek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPfBHsFZ-39vzTPrjR2CJWDWNRwRWyOqEuYqlxJPDXK_AHTvvMWlAQOApekdrttRq4S24oIWx-d6Bl3Om3HjnR1VgBdmBqAsQ0Ki7K5iyD9q_7jUdeGjyHhoFKcLmnVsdLyeEbxL8g280/s320/The-trial-for-the-death-of-George-Floyd-against-Derek.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Drawing taken from Derek Chauvin's trial.

A country full of stories of segregation, redlining and mistreatment against racial minorities had awakened this sentiment of unfairness which had prevailed throughout the years, yet it seems that there are too many stakes to overcome.

A deadly growing pandemic, curfews and the national guard deployed across several cities, and the former President Trump being careless about Floyd's death but people looting and vandalizing monuments. However, nothing is worthless when it comes to make everyone's part to incite big changes in the system, so is the message for the ones bewildered with this type of events. During this days, we remember George Floyd as the trial of Derek Chauvin is running right now, so it will be a big exam if the system is fair enough to people have trust in it. </p><p>Very close to Derek Chauvin's trial, on March 27th, Victoria Salazar, who was a Salvadoran immigrant worker in Tulum, Quintana Roo México, was killed by an officer while in custody. The way she was killed is very alike to George Floyd: pinned to the ground with the officer's knee on her neck, so after a few minutes she was unconscious and medical authorities declared her death. The <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-56576054">medical statement said:</a></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p><i>The post-mortem examination has revealed that Victoria Salazar died from a broken neck, the attorney-general for the state of Quintana Roo said on Monday.</i></p><p><i>Oscar Montes de Oca said that she had suffered "a spinal fracture caused by the rupture of the first and second vertebrae".

Furthermore, she left two orphan daughters, and to make this matter even worse, one of her daughters was reportedly missing after her mothers death, but the authorities found her three days after. However, Salazar's husband was detained by the police and accused by Quintana Roo's attorney general for <a href="https://www.voanews.com/americas/missing-teen-daughter-woman-killed-mexican-police-custody-found#:~:text=SAN%20SALVADOR%2C%20EL%20SALVADOR%20%2D%20El,video%20kneeling%20on%20her%20back.">abuse of her daughters</a>. It's so outrageous and unfair. </p><p>It's very important not being shut with this injustices happening in this modern era. We demand an end to every racial and misogynist hatred, regardless who the executors are. The police role is very important to keep every city balance, so I don't believe that all agents have those intentions that the ones involved in those crimes did, but they are on the eye of the world when something alike to Floyd and Salazar deaths occurs.</p><p>Hopefully Floyd, Salazar and the rest of people who have been victims of related crimes have their respective justice. </p>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-25485251667975179862020-08-11T22:59:00.002-07:002020-08-11T22:59:34.727-07:00Equilibrium<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi66T0I5FQA0eKCnowciJ7jZdHzIYcTS26bRp9_b9XUGjynLtvsHZ6FlQhJ05CDJWfgoYmG95SlApVW7o5H7lvfhzDa_CB5syxUErcbzQIeYiHEKH2y3AUrs1Sg1dhNnTcAG_9mlm9xz-Y/s1000/Equilibrium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1000" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi66T0I5FQA0eKCnowciJ7jZdHzIYcTS26bRp9_b9XUGjynLtvsHZ6FlQhJ05CDJWfgoYmG95SlApVW7o5H7lvfhzDa_CB5syxUErcbzQIeYiHEKH2y3AUrs1Sg1dhNnTcAG_9mlm9xz-Y/w512-h322/Equilibrium.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Image source:<a href="https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/analytics-and-intuition-finding-equilibrium/"> MIT Sloan </a></div><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">“Nature's a balance.

If I want to step up to the next level of whatever I want in my life, there's a price to pay, so it's the worth of the sacrifice made. I believe in smart moves, accurate maneuvers, knocking the correct door, speaking with the right person. Everything should be aligned in order to break it through. Have you ever made so much effort through the incorrect path? It's hard to say but it's so dissapointing that all the effort is worthless. But when the idea is wielded with the correct tool, and with the correct people, you flourish. </div><div><br /></div><div>A few years ago, an elder man, a former client, who worked as manager of a company of decades of operation, he told me: "What kind of history would you like to be known for? You can be either the bad guy of the history or the good guy. You choose what you would like to be". I appreciate that advise that always comes to my mind until today. Sometimes I am afraid if I already did sufficient to achieve, yet I still don't know if I didn't even start to work on it. It's hard to know and it keeps me uncertained what it comes next because there are so many things I achieved but lost, like a rollercoaster with ups and downs, so it seems pretty unfair to me. Have you ever felt insecure even though at the same time you are feeling entitled? I believe on the word Equilibrium. </div><div><br /></div><div>Equilibrium it's like a seesaw. Although the difference of both persons weight, once the force applied to counterweight the other individual mass, the seesaw swings up or down. Life plays with us, and we have to find the way to balance it. Otherwise, we get caught on its trap. I hope you get it. I'm still on the search. </div><div><br /></div>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-46578624843573342052020-08-08T22:08:00.004-07:002020-08-08T22:20:50.388-07:00Finding Inspiration<p>Everyday comes with a new challenge. Silently, my mind spoke to me on a way that I never felt before. Level up, don't give up. Practice and rehearsal are crucial keys for perfection and success. So, what was the hint? Whatever the language you speak the most, poetry is a learnt skill which requires wide vocabulary knowledge as well as having something to write for. I have great admiration for the people who just need a couple of words, so they can create an ongoing story whether is true or not. Sometimes I feel astonished when I know that big books were written based on something that happened on one night. However, a good piece of writing can be obtained as a result of several years of studies of certain theme or career. J.R.R. Tolkien found inspiration to create The Lord of The Rings series by years of studying about Old English literature, especially Beowulf and combining the studies of ancient mythologies such as Greek, Celtic, Finnish and Slavic. My case can be different. I am in a process of reading as much books as possible to utilize new vocabulary as well as visualizing into different epochs. It's not easy as it seems, yet when I find myself a peaceful moment where a bunch of ideas hover around my head, so it means that I'm ready for something else. Two days ago, while I was doing my daily twitter scrolling, I came across to a twitt where the user asked something like when is the moment on a new relationship to truly say "I love you"? I though about inspiration, so I wrote this poem:</p><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>Let me say something I want to express,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>Because it's going too fast so I cannot explain,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>I didn't feel this way since the day we first met,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>Nobody can't tell you but me, so I cannot regret.</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>Can I call this love or it's just delight?</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>Sometimes I want to ignore it but my smile can't deny,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>Because my past just reminds me tears on my eyes,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>So my feelings inside tell me to grant a big chance.</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>There's no written rule on how we have to love,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>If it brings peace and joy we should let it flow,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>If it's going to work, time will let know,</i></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i>So if you liked these words please make me a bow</i></span></div><p>I know the end of the last sentence was a just for fun moment, but the intention of this writing verses practice was as an exersice to find the correct rhyming words so the message I want to express to be coherent. On my high school years, I was so reluctant with literature, poetry, reading. I never ended a book, yet I didn't find the interest of them. I am totally different with literature, so I'm having a hungry of reading but now it happens the opposite: I want to read, but I lack time. LOL. Being a parent of two little daughters (my princesses), so time matters. I finally understand the real value of time than never before. </p><p>Finally, I hope all the motivation which in all of a sudden came through me, it doesn't fly away. I'd like to make use of these classic writing tools like blogger and Medium which never be old fashioned for people like us who like a good piece of reading. </p><p>Take care.</p>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-48959420586330851472020-06-18T22:59:00.000-07:002020-06-18T22:58:59.984-07:00Headlights<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It happened. The title of this post suggests something like "heads up". Work overflow and parental routine could act as a silent killer. Whatever your main activity for living is, our body sends us signals that things are not ok. How often do you feel more tired as usual? Therefore, that tiredness affects our mood, yet we don't feel like intercoursing with anyone else. It seriously damage our social relationships.<br />
<br />
We are something like the perfect creation. We store in our long term memory all things we watch, we listen, we read, we make. We are able to identify if something can go wrong when we combine our sensors and everything stored in our memory. We are problems solvers. Every challenge we are set to do, even though its difficulty level, we find the way to solve it. If we don't have the right tool, we create it anyway. If somebody doesn't believe us, we find the way to find the perfect words to change their minds. We are the perfect math processor. We are dexterous with numbers like anyone else, so we can figure out instantly if somebody is plausible just by a couple of calculations.<br />
<br />
However, heads up. I've learned when to say stop. We are like machines, yet we are not machines. Sometimes letting go it's healthier than keep on holding. We are naturally attached either to people or things, but certainly we need to constantly evaluate if that bonding is either benefitting or harming us. It's time to turn on the headlights, visualize our surroundings and be aware of everything. We don't have to wait until last minute.<br />
<br />

Back in the days, I didn't realize that my life would flip over with the blink of an eye. I was experiencing several changes on my job, and a series of financial decisions had been already made. I remember exactly the time when my wife told me that big surprise: You will become a dad. I cannot describe how I felt, but I remember a certain type of shivering of happiness and uncertainty that those words drew into my body. Nobody is prepared for that. I was 28, yet I didn't even feel that I was able to carry a newborn on my arms. I remember when I carried my little nephew, then he instantly cried because he felt unsafe on my arms. That memory came to my mind when I visualized on how it will be like to carry my first baby.<br />
<br />
As the days went by, a day like today but eight years ago, my daughter was born. I've never felt that kind of happiness to see that tiny being coming out with that loud crying that suggested that she was healthy and safe. Though all that happiness and joy that my daughter brought to all our family and friends circle, the best was yet to come when we checked out from the hospital, and we were about to head to our home. The sleepless nights were about to start. Those are things that every new parents experience at first, but I remember that even one bloating on her tummy was capable of make our nights that dreadful. Fortunately, we passed over it.<br />
<br />
With all the things as a baby and as a toddler lived on, including sicknesses, tantrums, funny occurrences, mischiefs, and so on; my daughter taught me so many valuable life lessons that I would never caught if I weren't be a dad. It's not the same thing observing parenthood than living on it. The things that I never imagined to do before that happened, I undoubtedly did and with bonuses. I developed strength, willpower, maturity and other manners which helped me to raise her. Now I am father of two beautiful daughters, so they are so especial for me, but the things you learned with the first one when practicing newbie parenthood, those things are unforgettable though.<br />
<br />

<br />
A few months ago, I was planning how my 2020 will be like, yet I tried to figure out how to get a serious commitment with myself on some unaccomplished goals. I reckon nobody was plotting ahead how our life would change in a glipmse, and it seems those changes will be part of our daily living at least for a couple of years. On my 37 years of living, I've never seen something similar which affects the entire globe that flat. It is the first time I look that people are being subjected to such self awareness. Sometimes it's hard for me to see even children wearing a mask, yet I think it's harder for them to be banned from socializing with other kids when we know this is part of their natural behavior.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, this Covid19 novel will lead us to practice a set of new habits that would benefit our way of living. I am sure that people will take cleanliness more seriously than ever before. When have you been instructed on the way you washed your hands? When did you ever clean and sanitized your groceries? During this time, I bet there were so many people that received their first online class or work session. I guess this way of conferencing will remain forever. Whoa.<br />
<br />
The saddest part for me is the economic outbreak ahead. So many businesses have not received even a penny during the lockdowns. Things would never be the same for lots of them. I personally had the fortune to be on a technical area which was classified as "essencial", so I haven't stopped working. But so many people had been either furloughed or canceled from their jobs. Nobody has the ability to predict how the economic recovery will be, but I think that as humans we have the great willing to overtake every kind of crises, even though how dreadful the panorama was. On this moments, people show the best of them. Human kindness brings hope to our world.<br />
<br />
I hope this too shall pass. It's going to be a new beginning for many people, yet the most important thing is to be alive to relate the havoc of everything what it was.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-12082554076464084412020-01-27T22:42:00.000-08:002020-01-27T22:42:11.700-08:00When my plans got ruined<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I've heard from several people who say that if a person has a plan of life, then that person should succeed on his or her goals. Taking little fragments of my personal experience, I've tried to plan and schedule certain sort of goals such as a desired weight, a determined savings amount, or to do a big purchase like a house, and so on. Down the road, too many unexpected things blow my plans away, so I have to act like triggering a fire extinguisher to solve those struggles which punch me very hard, yet I have to start over again. It really hurts though.<br />
<br />
I can guess that those people who had completed several leadership and management courses and certificates, they are the same person who they were before taking that knowledge inlet because life hits really hard sometimes, so it turns down people back to reality right away. I believe that everybody can succed but not everybody is prepared for that. Mentally, we bar ourselves from achieving the big things instead of trying to get them. It's very common to hear words like "I can't do it", "it's so difficult for me". When words like that come out from our mouths, fear is set in our minds, so the result is either not even trying to do the things or getting done a messy thing. It happens to me very often, yet sometimes I needed a push from somebody else to put my fears away.<br />
<br />
When it comes to planning, I think that even though when unexpected things ruin your plans, it's very important not losing the course of your plan. It's like sailing, when tide deviates your course, it's very important to have a good domain at maneuvering the rudder and propeling accurately. Nothing comes easy, but it requires practice, so practice comes from trying, not from staying put.<br />
<br />
I conclude that if my plans got ruined by unexpected things, the best thing I can do it's to be thankful and mindful, so I can start over again with my mind set to my goal.<br />
<br />
TY.<br />

<br />
Many different mentors throughout my life had adviced me upon a "never stop learning". Perhaps it sounds like nuanced words, but we, racional beings, are always searching something new to learn, no matter how. Personally, I consider that I had learn sufficiently something when I've experienced it theoretically and practically. Both at once, not separately. It's not the same feeling when I narrate something that I had experienced rather than something I had not. Sometimes I got frustrated when I had to train people about why my product portfolio was reliable and easy to install when I only had received theoretical training about that. It's very easy to see people silently judging you just with their sight and facial expressions. Little by little I decided to involve into field, so I could experience how to install the products, and sometimes with mistakes on it, but that made me perform my trainings. Now the fishtank was full of life, and the next trainings I could observe how people were awake and more convinced with me, their questions were answered and for my satisfaction, I noticed my approval on their faces. Nailed it.<br />
<br />
Effective learning hurts. It's like the struck of the hammer on your finger when you are learning how to nail. It's like when the professional skater is trying to make his first backflip, yet he falls so many times trying to acomplish. Everybody have different learning experiences, so each person has a different story to tell with different perspective. Some people have sequels due to how they gained their experience. Hence, when the gained experience it's very sharp so they can relate with that solid confidence, and you can say "I believe you" or "blindly I can trust this person that job".<br />
<br />
I failed so many times when it comes to make imprtant decisions in my life, some of them led me to lose a lot of money, some of them led me to achieve important things, but their common factors are the lessons learned, whether good or bad, but learned. The size of the risk of the decision it's the same size of the amount of what it's going to be earned or lost by that risk. Anyone can be a great memory retainer by reading a big amount of books, I think it's not so bad whatsoever, so we can enrich ourselves with any type of content in our encephalic system and it contributes to activate our creative side which it's very important for the upcoming innnovations, but none of this will be worth if it's not put into practice. This is how some persons are distinguished from others. This is the reason why the pundit is beaten by the doer.<br />
<br />
Finally, I consider that to learn effectively the combination of sharpening the pencil plus sharpening the tool should be done.

<br />
When I find solely moments with my mind clear of any distracting garbage, I have small talks with my inner self, and sometimes it comes to my mind the question <i>"When will I finally find myself?"</i>. Yet at this age would be sort of naive because everyone may think that an adult person with an apparent realized life wouldn't be worried for some childish struggles, but I clearly see that too many people have ocean size voids which have not been filled whatsoever. Myself is included.<br />
<br />
Year by year, I have been redefining what success means to me, as long as I feel less worried about the things that can derail my happiness. On my twenties, I thought that finalizing a university major, then getting a job lined up with that major, it could be a successful lifestyle. I lived that experience, and I don't regret about that, but I dind't receive a real life advice about what an adult life really is about.<br />
<br />
Money is the most visible measurable variable of success, and it's all about on how people set judgements about others. We live on a system where money flows so that it's delivered for whom has more value according to this system. Not necessarily the ones who do more work are the ones who earn more. It seems unfair, but the economic system, which all individuals are stranded on, delivers on a very unproportional rate according to the market value of the individual. One friend of mine suddenly chatted me if I didn't feel sort of dissapointment of this working, paying bills and rent lifecycle. I felt startled about the question, but if we assess very well, that statement sadly contains much true on it. If some part of this lifecycle steals your peace, clearly I believe that something is not going as we expect.<br />
<br />
This system won't change for the upcoming years, the governments will behave the same way, the economic system will be always broken and the money will always be delivered on this unfairly way. The best thing we can do is replenish ourselves with positive traits in order to help each others. So then, when I try to anwer the question I started in this post, I see crystal clear that the answer will shortly come, but when it finally do, I should at least had filled the most of the voids that had been stealing my happiness, peace and joy. But when will that happen? I remember that life has not to be a money making routine, I have a family, two little daughters, a health to worry about, too many experiences to enjoy, too many places to know, and so on.<br />
<br />
So, I am trying to live and enjoy my present even though it's not so grateful as I expected, but I don't have to lose my direction on what I'm want to achieve.<br />

<br />
When I look back to my 20's (I'm 36, so that's a long time gap), I miss the times that I spent weekends without having any nap time with no regrets, and I claimed my older relatives who evidently did. Now, when I spend my free weekends, so a nap break it's neccessary for recovering a little bit this weary being. There's a lot of thing that people of my age talk about, such as few sleeping hours, knee pain, kids, work stress, and so on. Regarding all this heads up, I frankly think that we have to add new learning to our brain, even if we have to sacrifice our comfort zone. No reward will fall from the sky without any work made.<br />
<br />
Recently, I feel pretty discouraged when I spent more than 10 years working constantly for a company which offered me personal and economic growing, so I din't take importance to academically growing, which means, to get an additional major or something else. Sometimes our body and soul need a reward, yet I learned that anybody can give you that but you.<br />
<br />
When I studied from two semesters in a row my english courses on my college, a learning hunger awaken inside me which convinced me that never it's to late to achieve your learning goals and skills. Nowadays, with 2 daughters, a home to attend, exhausive work journey, so studying can mean a burden for anyone else, but for me is an encouraging challenge.<br />
<br />
One important thing to add fresh learning it's to feel yourself confident and let your fears step away from you. Regardless your age and exhaustive daily journey, the first thing that has to be driven it's to have small talks with yourself and say "I can do it". I can find all means possible to achieve that without excuses. On this interconnected world we live on, any information can be found, any book can be gotten, too many free learning resources are grab and go, and so many follow up tools are on our reach. Too unexcusable.<br />
<br />
Finally, your life experience had told you that many things are not achievable for you, but let's do a swift and tell your past life that you are a story that hasn't still ended.<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

<br />
Few days ago, I was reminiscing on several moments that I enjoyed the best. As a teenager on 1998 or 1999, I don't remember feeling worried about what it would happen tomorrow even though my parents were living a serious financial struggle. I never thought either leaving my parents house or having my own family so far, yet I whined too many times about not having my own rules. However, one of the best memoirs I have is having my friends available everyday at a certain hour. We didn't have cellphones to text or call between us for gathering, if one of us whistled then we knew that was the going out signal.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, life is pretty much different than twenty years ago. We are living a time where people don't feel safe, yet we cannot confidence with any person because life stress had reached so far, so people is seriously affected by what others do instead on striving for themselves. In addition, there are so many people broken who they had grown on perverted environments which are the culprits of the disoriented world where we are living now.<br />
<br />
On this technology age, social media is meaning for many people something like an exhaust valve where any individual can express their feeling deliberately, and they receive an instant feedback from whoever it is even if they had never exchanged any spoken word between them. Things like that makes the living environment even worse because if someone became an online sharing person, then a reaction, whether is good or bad, has been created, and it will follow you until it get suppressed by itself as a matter of time.<br />
<br />
To add a few things up, living cost is soaring, population is exponentially growing, countries governments are corruptely broken, drinking water is scant, and so on. Sometimes I feel I want to travel back on time, but when I see that time is the only variable you cannot retrieve, I have a unique option and is "don't look back and carry on". I have a family to strive for, so when I feel like I want to give up, I remember my daughters whose innocence and plenitude of energy makes me see life with different eyes. Many people say I am still very young, but sometimes I feel that I'd lived enough haha, but I'm longing for witness things that I'm still expecting and I haven't accomplished.<br />
<br />
So, if you feel like life is treating you as an accordion, it's better to play it loud.<br />
<br />
Thanks.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15606377272271048021noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786096904651421326.post-62158638732759036882018-12-10T23:32:00.002-08:002018-12-10T23:32:53.414-08:00Some awkward answers to random questionsSometimes on my free and "no things to do" time, my inner self starts to asks weird questions which certainly have a logic answer, and I'm sure on an epoch of my early life I have seen the answer, but for many of them I cannot remember. When my six years old daughter starts to ask such kind of translucent questions such as "Did Santa Claus die too many years ago?", and I cannot find a convincent answer, I feel dull, and I remind myself that I should read more in order to have an answer for every questions that even a kid can ask you.<br />
<br />
Strolling on the internet I did some questions.<br />
<br />
<b>Can a star die?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteiYuHDv2XpEgMn_OUN5tLTQJ1CN6RLexPQTSABBn6bBOT6bMfEJQXRp9oij7rjTY35rgLdwrOzvoiLO4cESkf9ZeBjB75FDPYF_7S5N1yPapHr6-nj8l7qkcfsIFohFP4_fCy6Wv0KI/s1600/stardying.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="658" data-original-width="870" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteiYuHDv2XpEgMn_OUN5tLTQJ1CN6RLexPQTSABBn6bBOT6bMfEJQXRp9oij7rjTY35rgLdwrOzvoiLO4cESkf9ZeBjB75FDPYF_7S5N1yPapHr6-nj8l7qkcfsIFohFP4_fCy6Wv0KI/s320/stardying.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<i>A/ Most stars take millions of years to die. When a star like the Sun has burned all of its hydrogen fuel, it expands to become a red giant. This may be millions of kilometres across - big enough to swallow the planets Mercury and Venus.</i><br />
<br />
Reasoning, if the sun dies then we can be swallowed by that energy, but only Mercury and Venus will. There's nothing to be worry about that.<br />
<br />
<b>Do tea bags really reduce eye wrinkles?</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLnWEkmsSn24MPCia71j4vv_5QNKqqCvcPD9I8CK-C_-0-g21aknOGiIksOQNejCLH9OkaYKn_9rmngKB5HR0FeKc5ieKsphDl94jc2TsGN-sanzHvcV7ICV_c04fl3vFkRvTJ1r6zOAA/s1600/maxresdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLnWEkmsSn24MPCia71j4vv_5QNKqqCvcPD9I8CK-C_-0-g21aknOGiIksOQNejCLH9OkaYKn_9rmngKB5HR0FeKc5ieKsphDl94jc2TsGN-sanzHvcV7ICV_c04fl3vFkRvTJ1r6zOAA/s320/maxresdefault.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<i>Using tea bags on your eyes is a popular home remedy. Tea bags may help to improve the appearance of your eyes by reducing dark circles, puffiness, and redness. They may also help to treat irritation, styes, and pink eye. Tea bags are an affordable, natural option that you can easily try at home.</i><br />
<br />
Reasoning, I feel doubtful about that because when you accumulated your body with sleepless hours that you won't recover, how a pair of remaining tea bags can help to counterfeit body nature?<br />
<br />
<b>Can dogs reincarnate into humans?</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE7nBr6X5asugsuC9VX0nD_aNxgeBGgqcx130vWtHKIT8f9Z2deLEMXsvCtW80cso4E8EsEMckZ2-O0wLN8CVeUJd4HFbTZpirH2jO0YyzNiJcKfRzgr7Zj2HHIqr6hLkFMyIxkn51_cU/s1600/maxresdefault+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE7nBr6X5asugsuC9VX0nD_aNxgeBGgqcx130vWtHKIT8f9Z2deLEMXsvCtW80cso4E8EsEMckZ2-O0wLN8CVeUJd4HFbTZpirH2jO0YyzNiJcKfRzgr7Zj2HHIqr6hLkFMyIxkn51_cU/s320/maxresdefault+%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<i>some people will continue to be human, and some will become animals. ... After they have been reincarnated as an animal, when they die they return to the spiritual world, and, as before, based on their behavior before they die the spiritual world will decide whether or not they are reincarnated as a person.</i><br />
<br />
Reasoning, I believe that every person and every animal has a purpuse on this world, yet I certainly believe on what you harvest is what you've planted, so what if the dog after living surrounded by humans can be a better person in other life?. What I'm sure is the animals who are always watching us are cats.<br />
<br />
Can a sword be swallowed?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnR1y2vpfkoEAKZus3seL3bv7GKaU5ewauTFY4Xd2sSNQ244bmACutHavHLrGgm6M3uBpnGz0n9X66F6cLj5MqHlukSdatF1XLzoiWXxcnws7tp6ffNpfAwosvtobo0pyMK19oKotEIKA/s1600/2012-09-12-Dan_Meyer_Leaning_backwards-thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="978" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnR1y2vpfkoEAKZus3seL3bv7GKaU5ewauTFY4Xd2sSNQ244bmACutHavHLrGgm6M3uBpnGz0n9X66F6cLj5MqHlukSdatF1XLzoiWXxcnws7tp6ffNpfAwosvtobo0pyMK19oKotEIKA/s320/2012-09-12-Dan_Meyer_Leaning_backwards-thumb.jpg" width="195" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<i>Most sword swallowers do not actually 'swallow' the sword, but instead relax the throat enough to allow the blade to slide down the esophagus, although some sword swallowers do intentionally cause the blade to move down their throats by using their throat muscles in the peristalysis act of swallowing.</i><br />
<br />
Reasoning, if several people drink and spit back gasoline turning it into flame, the sword swallowing has an upper difficulty level, but both can cause serious harm to the stomach if they go wrong. Please don't try this at home.<br />
<br />
Seek and you'll find.<br />

<br />
When I thought that I've learned much enough to keep my life running straight to its end, I realize that I'm still living as if nothing has been learned still. This cranky life-module where I'm standing in right now is telling me that even though I had been accomplished many things quietly above average than other people (s.a. travel, children, university degree), I found myself on an endless trap where many people is stucked by, and it's for the boldest and clever ones the privilege to find an exit to this vicious cycle.<br />
<br />
Life is giving me the toughest lessons on how to survive on a crises perhaps, yet I'm still remember how my father told me how he felt pretty much disappointed when stakes on his life strucked him really hard, and he told me "life paths are not as one really expects about them". I'm not good at translating songs, but that phrase comes from a song that says in spanish "los caminos de la vida, no son como los pensaba". Sometimes, I feel nostalgic, and I just want to embrace my dad for that; I pretty sure that he'll understand me although without saying any word.<br />
<br />
However, I'm longing for more. I'm longing for things I know that will land on my life premises without asking for them. What you manifest is before you, said an anonymous wiseman. And guess what? Everything is happening right now, yet it cannot be seen still.<br />
<br />

<br />
During this week, I've been assigned to accomplish a couple of jobs that on my eyes looked pretty complicated and almost impossible because I had never done that before, but after moving my hands through them, I accomplished them without any complain. I bet that situation happened to you before several times, and I am sure that after doing something which seemed utter complex you ask yourself "how I did?".<br />
<br />
We are created to do the unobjectionable. I have great admiration for people who do Parkour; when I watch any of their videos I always whisper "He'll smash his head off", yet I watch how they successfully jump from one wall to another different height wall. Do you believe that you are able to accomplish things like that? I believe so.<br />
<br />
One of the mantras I have been practicing is to shout to my inner self "If he or she did, why don't me?". Other is "Never is too late, NEVER". Try always to talk yourself positively, and never stop doing that. So, if you expected a big essay or some of those typical long reading posts, I don't use to do that, so I believe everything has to be made step by step without hesitation.<br />
<br />
See you next time.

We only live once is a common ancient saying which lots of people take it so seriously, so I am one of those people. Unfortunately, our daily journey swallow all the things we would like to do, and anyone should heed all that scrapy and minimalist things that stay us away from the people or activities we love most. In my humble opinion, whether if you had a great or a pounded day, we should be more thankful to everybody and with the things that happens to us, we don't know if we have been taken apart from a deadly situation. Once we accomplish what we had determined for today, regarding the type of activity we are assigned to do, we take that burden apart, and we feel excited by now.<br />
<br />
How did I wrote that paragraph? Easy, by watching that picture, and start each sentence with the first four letters I see (YUIO). Welcome back to blogging.<br />

<br />
This is not a song, it's a commonly asked question that is constantly in my head trying to figuring out why the life it's so unfair with me. It could be your case though in a different manner or scenario. At my 35 years old, although I don't describe myself as a role model, I have lots of experiences to tell you. When somebody tells me something I am sure whether that happened to me before or some of my acquaintances or friends had lived that. However, I am in constantly learning, I try to listen to everybody regardless it's age because there are people even if they are younger than me, they had lived moments or experiences that I hadn't. I am very grateful that I live in a new learning stage in my life. Ten years ago, I foresaw other type of future for me, but now I see that I made several mistakes that a young person normally do. I don't hold back. I learned that my life can be easier if I focus on helping others and giving more than receiving. The only person who can push you up is yourself, nobody is really interested in your life more than yourself.<br />
<br />
I always give the best of me on whatever I do, I work, I study, I teach, I learn. If I can't do it, I don't want to be reminded like somebody who always tried though it couldn't achieved. So, when I asked again why life is so unfair, I will wait until the right moment and the right time comes to me.<br />

<br />
Life has granted me with lots of positive changes on me even if the price has been high and stressful, but with happiness and grateful moments in a bundle. This 2017 has been a particular year because it's the first year where I lived a whole year outside my country trying a new adventure in Los Angeles, California. This year my second daughter was born, and she adds to my life a special motivational feeling who makes me stronger than before. Sometimes I feel weak, like I just wanna give up (as the Eminem song Till I collapse says), but when I come home, and I see my daughters, they remind me what I am living for. Also, this 2017 I enrolled in the college in order to get a degree for Electricity and Construction Maintennance. I completed my first semester, and I passed my first three courses like a champ. But it hasn't easy because it's not equal studying being single than being married and having two daughters, there is no comparison, the time is really limited so I have to practice how to puzzle my time to complete lots of tasks on a day. I have some stories to tell such as one when I had to stop to pee behind Rancho Park in Cheviot Hills because I had driven about 2 hours to get to my house, and was 1 hour remaining to go, so I cannot hold in anymore, it feels like your bladder will pop off, so I stopped like I wanted to do something in Rancho Park, it was pretty dark, that made me easy to stop behind a tree even if the traffic was still running on the street, nobody cared what I had stopped to, it felt so good to release that amount of pee I was holding in, and I get back to the car, and I continued driving home. In addition, I had learned how to do field work in other areas, such as construction, electricity and remodel. On 2018 I want to achieve new goals to be added to my professional background though I don't have a clear panorama, but I know that working hard and climbing up all the obstacles, I will achieve. I wish you a happy hollidays and a happy 2018 to everybody.

Sentir cuando de repente te encuentras navegando en una dimensión desconocida, en un mundo creado por dónde la vida te ha llevado, por escenarios creados por el surrealismo de tu subconsciente. Sabes que tu peor enemigo es el despertador, sea tu aparato digital o el biológico que te despierta inoportunamente. ¿A quién le gusta disfrutar ese momento de profundo descanso?</span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-ee37b7d9-2ee3-bb03-c887-132fd39046b7" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

Siempre he pensado, el dormir bien reduce la amargura, vean a un niño despertarse luego de su siesta de la tarde, se despierta con actitud “mírame y no me toqués”, así somos los grandes también ¿verdad?</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Debes calcular estar listo con todo a las 6:30am, para primero dejar a los niños, y luego llegar a tiempo a marcar la entrada. ¿A qué horas debes levantarte si ese fuera tu caso? Forzosamente te tocará madrugar.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">¿A qué horas te levantas cuando no debes ir a trabajar o a estudiar? Un día libre, un fin de semana o en tus vacaciones. Soy de los que piensa que el tiempo es muy valioso, cuando te veas en el espejo llorarás el tiempo perdido. Yo madrugo para salir a correr, ir al gimnasio, leer un libro o incluso apreciar el amanecer. Es posible que tengas otros motivos para que aproveches las horas que le restan al día, doy por seguro que ya debes tener programado tu reloj despertador.</span></div>

Quieres realizar nuevas actividades que complementen tu vida, las mismas 24 horas son las que siempre han limitado el día. Es muy positivo levantarse temprano, si deseas disciplinar tu cuerpo y tu mente, es mejor asociar la hora de despertarse con actividades específicas. Ejemplos: leer un libro por las mañanas, salir a caminar, meditar, escribir, ir al gimnasio, salir a correr, andar en bicicleta, sacar a pasear a tu mascota; podemos listar muchas actividades motivadoras para darle unas horas más al día por las mañanas. </span></div>

Muchos dicen, los hombres no lloran, ayer vi lo contrario. Lo vi en vivo cuando el atleta colombiano <a href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_Figueroa">Oscar Figueroa</a> se alzaba el oro en los JJOO de Río de Janeiro 2016 en la disciplina de levantamiento de pesas masculino categoría hasta 62kg, levantando en envión 142kg y 2 tiempos 176kg haciendo un total de 318kg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Un ejemplo de esfuerzo, dedicación, mucha disciplina. No soy colombiano pero fue admirable su participación. Me gustó especialmente ver la forma como cayó y no contuvo el llanto que no paraba minutos después. </div>

Buen día mi gente, que todavía recuerdan el blog y los que no, si, solía ser blogger de la generación "oldskool", como le llamábamos a los primerizos en este tipo de redes AT (Antes de Twitter), cuando era común ir a otros colegas bloggers comentarse sus entradas o hacerce backlinks (trackbacks o pingbacks), pero esa pequeña neurona haciendo sinápsis que me mantiene vivo por lo menos el dominio y la arcáica plataforma del blogger por lo menos (es más cúl en Wordpress, pero tengo más estabilidad) escribo mis pensamientos de vez en cuando. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
La léctura no ha sido mi fuerte, siempre celebro cuando termino de leer un libro, quizas tengo un repertorio de 50 libros en mi vida, muchos de ellos no me recuerdo, fue en época escolar, otros me los dejaban para leer en las materias electivas sociales de la universidad que me paraleleaban un poco con las materias de cálculos numéricos que si me gustaban (soy de los que estudió ingeniería juajua), aunque al final me terminaban gustando, pero como solo miraba eso y lo que me importaba era sumar esas 2 unidades valorativas que mi pensum necesitaba, ahi terminaba. Tuve muchos libros que jamás fueron leídos, y terminaron siendo donados o tirados, pero de repente se me metía algo en la cabeza, de aquellas cosas que no te puedes sacar así como cuando una canción que está de moda que aunque no te gusta se te pega, me iba a The Bookshop (que ya no existe), veía un libro atractivo y me proponía a leerlo. Uno de los tantos que compré y terminé de leer fue Ángeles y Demonios (de Dan Brown, el mismo del Código Da Vinci), me empilé leyendo ese libro, ahi aprendí un poco de los Illuminatti y cosas así de escalofriantes, leí a Gabo (si Gabo Marquez QEPD) con el Coronel no tiene quien le Escriba, buenísimo, pero tengo una peculiaridad, leo el libro una vez y ya no lo vuelvo a leer, así me pasa con las películas, las veo una vez y ya no las vuelvo a ver, nada más me recuerdo de las partes más emocionantes o frases que te quedan marcadas de los libros.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ahora en mi inicio de la segunda juventud familiar (es decir, la etapa de ser hombre de familia y padre de familia) han cambiado muchas cosas, pero ha sido una étapa en donde me he interesado más por la lectura que en la primera juventud, cuando iba a nacer mi primera hija Gabrielita, compré un libro sobre el desarrollo del bebé, la estimulación inicial recomendada, fue de mucha utilidad, luego que creció más y que prácticamente me ha secuestrado el televisor con canales para niños como Disney Jr, Nick Jr., Discovery Kids, me toca rebuscarme para entretenerme y mi tiempo de Ti Vi prácticamente se me ha reducido, entonces he optado por de vez en cuando leer algún libro. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
En la foto de este post muestro un libro que compré hace poco, lo compré hace una semana y practicamente ya lo finalicé, ahi muestro mi separador improvisado de papel (ya que hoy ni separadores dan las tiendas de libros, no como antes), y ya da la pauta para leer otro. Así que les invito a que sean más lectores, siento que cada libro que uno lee, algo se le pega y se utiliza cuando de repente se necesita o se puede conversar de ello.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Y ustedes que han leído ultimamente? Saludos y feliz inicio de semana.</div>

<br />
Estamos en una era donde la competencia digital cada día es más fuerte, la era móvil se fortalece, lo cual haciendo memoria me doy cuenta que muchos sitios o aplicaciones que se utilizaban hace algunos años están desapareciendo, <a href="http://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-36867902">tal es el caso de Tumblr</a> que ya perdió por mucho su valor por el cual estuvo hace 3 años.<br />
<br />
Ante esto, cuales medios aún son para tomar en cuenta para alguna estrategia digital para promocionarse o promocionar a su empresa, producto, hacer viral algo?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a> : Ahora si uno no está en esta red no existe. Es casi obligatorio estar ahí.</li>
<li><a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter </a>: Por excelencia para la interacción a tiempo real.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instagram.com/">Instagram</a> : Para tener más engagement con los usuarios siendo creativos.</li>
<li><b>Tu propio website o blog</b> : A pesar de no tener el tráfico de las redes antes mencionadas, no deja de ser indispensable referenciar a tu website o blog. En el caso de los blogs, las plataformas las siguen liderando <a href="https://wordpress.org/">Wordpress</a> y <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Blogger</a>, no se compliquen.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> : Es opcional para muchos, pero el nivel de confianza se puede lograr publicando contenido original en la red por excelencia para publicación de videos. </li>
<li><a href="https://www.snapchat.com/l/es/">SnapChat</a> : No lo uso mucho, pero es una red que tiene más de 400 millones de mensajes diarios. Tiene un público muy joven, por lo que hay que ser muy creativos para usarla.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Cualquier otra red tiene un público más selecto, no quiere decir que no sean eficientes, pero sabiendolas utilizar puede crear resultados fenomenales. Ej. <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>, <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>, entre otras.<br />
<br />
No se extrañen si el día de mañana aparece otra red, otra aplicación (como <a href="http://www.pokemon.com/es/videojuegos-pokemon/pokemon-go/">Pokemon Go</a>) que destrone a cualquiera y se cree otra tendencia.<br />
<br />
Saludos!!<br />

<br />
Hoy en día encontrarán que está de moda correr, se está promocionando mucho que correr es saludable y que es una de las opciones más económicas para ejercitarse. Dejenme decirles que es cierto, yo siempre he tenido afición por correr, hace unos 12 años era corredor de velocidad (100, 200, 400mts) lo cual me hacía que no me gustara correr largas distancias como 5km, 10km, pero eso fueron otros tiempos cuando tenía como 20~22 años. Luego de dejar de entrenar y entrar en rutinas de trabajo, familia, cosas así entré en un periodo algo sedentario el cual no me ejercitaba o lo hacía con muy poca frecuencia, mi peso se vio incrementado más de 35lbs (mi estatura ronda los 1.73cm, mi peso ideal debería ser 160lbs, pero llegué a pesar como 195lbs) por lo que necesitaba con urgencia hacer algo ya que empezaba a observar como mis tallas de pantalón iban en aumento y llega un punto donde uno dice o compro la siguiente talla y acepto la realidad o hago algo para por lo menos mantener la talla actual.<br />
<br />
Empecé por salir a correr de nuevo, pero para iniciar constantemente en esto necesitas hacer los siguientes pasos:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Disciplina: debes de asignar tiempo en tu día y respetarlo. No importa si es en la madrugada, tarde o noche, pero lo importante es cumplir el tiempo que has designado. En lo personal me gusta más en la madrugada o en la mañana antes que el sol se sienta con fuerza, pero en esos casos lo que debes de entrenar es el hecho de levantarse temprano a correr. </li>
<li>Correr inicialmente lo que tu cuerpo resista. Eso es importante, ya que cuando uno se encuentra con sobrepeso el cuerpo se esfuerza más de lo que soporta, y eso hace que las articulaciones como las rodillas sufran mucho. Si sientes que no puedes correr, empieza caminando hasta que el cuerpo soporte. Si sientes muchas dudas incluso puedes visitar a un médico cardiologo o fisioterapista para que evalúe tu estado físico y te de las mejores recomendaciones para iniciar.</li>
<li>No corras mucho de una sola vez. Debes de ir poco a poco, tu cuerpo te irá demandando más, pero no te debes emocionar tanto de un solo para evitar lesiones. </li>
<li>Trata de superar los 5km. Cuando ya logras un ritmo constante es importante lograr colocarse metas grandes para ver mejores resultados. Correr 5km implica una quema de calorías aproximadamente de 400 a 600kcal de acuerdo a tu peso, pero para ver mejores resultados deberas de quemar más de 800kcal cada vez que te ejercitas, por lo que las distancias a dominar deberían ser por lo menos 10km hasta llegar a una media maratón (21km). Ya para más de eso si debes buscar ayuda o asesoría profesional.</li>
<li>Alimentate bien. No solamente debes de ejercitarte, sino recuperar las calorías quemadas y cambiar hábitos alimenticios para quemar grasa y también para no perder mucha masa muscular. Busca asesoría para ver como alimentarte adecuadamente para resistir a la nueva rutina de correr.</li>
<li>Se constante. Trata de hacer siempre tiempo, ya que cuando uno inicia debe mantenerse activo para no caer de nuevo en el sedentarismo.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Con estos consejos lograrás bajar de peso y mantener una vida saludable. En mi caso logré bajar 25lbs en 4 meses y actualmente sigo rutinas para lograr mantener el peso que he alcanzado.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Espero te sean útiles.</div>

Encontré una agenda del 2006, perdón por el polvo, pero es interesante revisar recuerdos de lo que se hacía en esos días en comparación a lo que se hace hoy. Lo que les puedo decir que hacía en el 2006 era bloggear, así que mejor que hacerlo ahorita.</div>
