Die tomorrow

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

Door along the way.

One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.

Learning Behavior

              Have you ever experienced awkward  moments when you meet  someone for the first time but you don't know their language and they don't speak yours. How sad and scary this could be?

When learning a new language and practicing it with a native speaker for the first time you will feel like your world is ending and you will rather run from that situation before making a mistake or saying something stupid.

            This is how our brain works; our brain is lazy. It's a coward and it doesn't like changes. Now that we have grew we're no longer really open to new things. We don't usually train our brains to improve our memory, ability, or to adapt to challenges. Is not that we are old, NO even if is true, is not our body or age, but mentality.

             In order to learn, we most learn how to learn, and focus, but more important change our laziness to an active learner. It is a hard work not one said is easy, is simple but not easy, is a daily work, that's why children are really good at this because they have all they time they want.

A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.

Q&A

Own failure

You are responsible for your own failure.

Henry Ford

(July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947)

Was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production.

Although Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line, he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford. In doing so, Ford converted the automobile from an expensive curiosity into a practical conveyance that would profoundly impact the landscape of the twentieth century. His introduction of the Model Tautomobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation and arranged for his family to control the company permanently.

His father gave him a pocket watch in his early teens. At 15, Ford dismantled and reassembled the timepieces of friends and neighbors dozens of times, gaining the reputation of a watch repairman. At twenty, Ford walked four miles to their Episcopal church every Sunday.

Ford was devastated when his mother died in 1876. His father expected him to eventually take over the family farm, but he despised farm work. He later wrote, "I never had any particular love for the farm—it was the mother on the farm I loved."

Sense of learning

"Self-study, in a sense of learning by yourself without anybody teaching you anything, has an enormous value".

Robert Kraft (astronomer)

Challenges in self-study.

One of the most difficult thing in my life it has been learning self discipline, keeping on work or in the same  task for more than 5 mins, by brain who is extremely lazy, will tell me 1000 reasons why I should do something easier and go to leisure instead of learning or any significant work.

Because I normally will study by myself, I have encountered  many challenges in self-study.

Difficult task

"If you have a difficult task to do, give it to a lazy man, and he will find a easier way to do it".

Henry Ford
