What defines you?

After watching this video I said to all the people who hates me, thank you.

When passion meets discipline

Passion gives you strength, but it won't last forever.

It gives the push from nothing, to anything you want to start.

However, this isn't all you need.

You need to keep going.

You need more than a push.

You will study when you love it, yes, that's right, but we need more.

Discipline, it won't knock on your door and say here I am.No!

You have to go and look for it.

You have to fight and stand up and catch it.

You need to chase it and grab it.

You need to hold it and hide it. 

You need to empower it and practice it.

You need to be able to fail and stand up again.

It won't be beautiful, and you...

Will hate it.

You will suffer, cry, and crawl but this is real strength.

This is what you are looking for.

Your dreams are not only to sleep on.

You need to wake up and work, make them, build them, paint them, talk about them, laugh with them, cry with your dreams; because these are your goals coming true.

When your passion meets discipline your dreams become a reality,  and anything you want will be yours. Your enemy is you, your ally will be yourself.

Be responsible for your own future.

We create tomorrow today, and rest yesterday.

When passion meets discipline it doesn't matter how tired you are.

Your energy source, it is not your body or your mood; it's yourself, your dreams, your choices,  your goals.

If there is something you want to do, remember that your passion should meet discipline to achieve anything in life.

Why memory is important?

One of the most controversial topics in the world is, memory, for a long time, people have wondered how our memory works and how to improve it, for the simple task of remembering your friends phone without checking on your cell phone or to do better at school. As a language student, memory for me has become an important and interesting topic.I found this TED video very interesting I'll continue to talk about my memory journey, but before, let's see what can we learn about memory from this video.

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)

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 

Wise people ask foolish things.

"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer".

Bruce Lee

Or

Or

Why you should "Never give up"

No opportunities

No matter how good you are doing something there's always a reason why we feel nothing is going to work. There is not possibility of success. This might be true, perhaps because we don't have talent, we don't have money, we don't have materials or just because we don't have legs...

Everyone who hasn't meet Nick Vujicic would think in that way until you realize the true, why we can't gain what we fight for...

Nicholas James Vujicic known as Nick Vujicic is an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled mentally and emotionally as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs. Vujicic presents motivational speeches worldwide which focus on life with a disability, hope and finding meaning in life. He also speaks about his belief that God can use any willing heart to do his work and that God is big enough to overcome any disability.

Language barrier

 Breaking the language barrier

One person that I admire is Tim Doner, who is a senior at the Dalton School in New York City. He has studied around 20 languages. The reason of my admiration is because not only he had taught himself languages but he also broke the barrier of languages, knowing people from all languages, backgrounds and cultures and experimenting on how does people learn.


Polyglot: is a person who uses multiple languages. A polyglot may also be called a multilingual person; the label "multilingual" is used for communities as well as individual speakers.
