Hold On! Love your home

9/11/2013

The average person spends 182 days in the shower during their lifetime. This period making ourselves presentable to the outside world is both a blessing and burden, scraping valuable minutes from writing tweets, contracts and rent checks in exchange for clean, smoother, healthier-looking skin™

A consumer of time now realizes that half a year of one’s lives is spent showering, they want to make the most use of these 10 minutes and not elongate the process. Think to how many times you’ve dropped your shampoo or knocked over your shower caddy- a probable half a minute added onto your shower. This is another 10 days of your life lost in the shower. A 10 day vacation in Jamaica is now gone (or having watched all the episodes of Lost & Battlestar Galactica combined), is this the opportunity cost you’re willing to make?

Fear, creativity's worst enemy.

Fear; creativity most deadly enemy.

After doing some research on the best companies to work for in the United States, and being an owner of a small company in New York. I understood that it is indeed fear what makes people not only give up on their dreams but become tight about “comfort” in any given place or situation. For example, a manager of a SME. His or her biggest fear is losing their jobs from a person below them, making them become uncertain about their position everyday. In other words, fear makes people uptight and lose perspective of others’ feelings.

DECLARATION ON A CULTURE OF PEACE:

Article 2: Progress in the fuller development of a culture of peace comes about through values, attitudes, modes of behavior and ways of life conducive to the promotion of peace among individuals, groups and nations.

Today is an important day for everyone. Today we celebrate our friends. In 2011, the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities proclaimed this day as the International Day of Friendship.Sadly, not all of us are privileged to say “I have a best friend.” However, there is always that someone who is always by your side for better or worse (not a wife or a husband) -- is it to listen, give advice, or just… be there. Friends...

Meine Meinung, a new type of music…?

As social media increases, our chances to expose our work gets easier. This doesn’t mean they are good at it or have the talent to continue torturing others. Today’s generation prefers things that are not “mainstream.” In other words, a rest from all the dissatisfaction we get from the “real” world. It is understandable though, that they are inclined to watch people failing or people getting hurt type of videos because this is a constant reminder that there are worse situations out there. However, A few weeks ago as I was surfing the web I came across an amazing band, Meine Meinung.

21st Century Skills

21st century classroom, has anything really changed?

In today’s world we are obligated to push our limits due to the need of developing special abilities that will prepared us for the challenges of work and life. These abilities also known as the 21st Century skills will not enable young and adults to be academically competitive in their fields, but also increased the level of awareness in their community, atmosphere, and everyday activities. I have identified what I believe are critical skills that if mastered will equip people with the necessary tools to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

However, this skills are hard to identify due to the high pressured path we are putting are children in. For example, today’s children are spoiled and are led to believe that they can do anything they want. But, is it really this kind of mentality we want to teach them?

International Day of Protest Against the Violent Abuse and Murder of Sex Workers

7/19/2013

0 Comments

July 19th, 2013 people are gathering in over 35 cities across the globe protesting against violence against sex workers. By reading this title, I can identify one thing: the person who wrote this or people against “this” are in pro sex workers but against violence against them? Now, after reading the whole article it seems clear that people support sex workers, here’s a piece: “Following the murders of Dora Özer and Petite Jasmine on the 9th and 11 of July 2013, sex workers, their friends, families, and allies are coming together to demand an end to stigma, criminalisation, violence and murders. In the week since the two tragedies occurred, the feelings of anger, grief, sadness and injustice – for the loss of Dora and Jasmine, but also for the senseless and systemic murders and violence against sex workers worldwide – have brought together people in 35 cities from four continents who agreed to organise demos, vigils, and protests in front of Turkish and Swedish embassies or other symbolic places.”

Butler Library, Columbia University

Pretty much everyone knows already that I am doing my master's at Columbia University, but few of you know how difficult it was to be accepted at an IVY League University. On my previous post, I talked about my fears and doubts of staying in New York, I didn't write or explained what made me change my mind (will do on another post), but for the sake of it, let's say Columbia was one of the major reasons for not to leave.

Columbia University in the City of New York, top #8 in the world, USA colonial university, known for it's intense curriculum and high quality programs in Law, Business, Psychology, Journalism, Politics etc.

New York Parte 1

7/17/2013

Antes de venir a vivir a esta ciudad, siento que jamás imagine cuán difícil iba a ser vivir aquí. Después de tener un súper fail tratando de conseguir un trabajo en Japón, aplicando a más de 250 empresas, siendo aceptado por tres, mi visa de trabajo no pudo ser tramitada porque mi título universitario no fue expedido por una universidad americana. Después de pasar tres semanas lamentándome el hecho de que me tendría que quedar en MTY buscar una trabajo en logística -- la cuál me interesaba en lo más mínimo en ese entonces, decidí buscar opciones en otros lugares.
