The New Advertising: You!!!

What do you think when watching a commercial promoting a successful life by going to cheap schools? 

As audience I feel cheated. I believe in education but excellent education, if you cant afford a good university, don waste your money, even if they give you a free laptop. I give you a free laptop but please dont fall for those stupid commercials. 


Of course, there are studies that show that a 20% of those students succeeded but do you think that schools should take the credit of YOU! I think that is you who should take the credit!

My recommendation is to pick a place that you would like to work for. Make the company your university. 


The advantage is that you are getting experience and you are not spending money, quite the opposite they are paying you! voila! 

If you dont have money or a job, dont go to a cheap school! that will get you more in debt! go to a company that you like, offer yourself to work and make money. If you are good, the company will invest on you and they will pay for good education.

You are the new advertising! Open your eyes my friend!

What about a new house, new job, new place, everything new

When I wrote this blog on April 2nd I didn’t have any idea that my life will changes dramatically in 1 week. I got a great consulting job in Beverly Hills and South Africa. Jeff supported me and things are doing well. Or love has grown. My home is Utah but I am working in Beverly Hills and living 20 minutes driving in Koreantown. I like it here. Everything is new job, new people, new company, new home, new food, new stores, new addresses, new weather, etc. I feel very humble that God gave me this chance and that with my husband support I took it.

I a, so excited and let's to the World Cup! and you what new things have you tried this month? Share new experiences, new skills? ,etc.

Hola, Entrepreneurs y Emprendedores or should I say Aventureros!

Hola

He asistido a algunas conferencias con otros bloggers y cada día me convenso mas de que debo escribir en español. Realmente como escritora y comentarista no puedo dudar que lo hago mejor en mi propia lengua. De esta manera puedo hacerlo mejor, de seguro que acorto mi audiencia. Pero espero que me sigan mis lectores.

Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes uno de mis poemas favorito. Espero sus comentarios


Extracto del libro “Common Sense” escrito en 1776 por Thomas Paine
I do not choose to be a common man,
It is my right to be uncommon …
if I can, I seek opportunity … not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen
Humbled and dulled by having the State look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk;
To dream and to build.
To fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;
I prefer the challenges of life
To the guaranteed existence;
The thrill of fulfillment
To the stale calm of Utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence
Nor my dignity for a handout
I will never cower before any master
Nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect.
Proud and unafraid;
To think and act for myself,
To enjoy the benefit of my creations
And to face the world boldly and say:
This, with God’s help, I have done
All this is what it means
To be an Entrepreneur.


Yo no escogí ser un hombre común,
Es mi derecho ser diferente….
Si yo puedo, busco la oportunidad… no la seguridad.
Yo no deseo ser un ciudadano mantenido
Humillado y adormecido esperando que el estado me mantenga.
Yo quiero tomar riesgos, de soñar y construir,
De equivocarme y de triunfar.
Yo prefiero que mi vida tenga retos que tener garantizada mi existencia.
La emoción del cumplimiento, la añeja calma de la utopía.
No voy a negociar libertad por beneficencia
Ni mi dignidad por un folleto.
Yo nunca me agachare ante nadie,
Ni me doblare por ninguna amenaza.
Es mi deber mantenerme firme.
Orgulloso y sin temor;
En pensar y actuar por mi propia cuenta,
En disfrutar los beneficios de mis creaciones
Y enfrentar el mundo audazmente y decir;
Todo esto con la ayuda de Dios lo que he hecho
Esto significa ser un Emprendedor

The First Democrat debate ever broadcast in Spanish

Univision was the place that put together the first presidential debate in Spanish. Half of the candidates could speak some Spanish but not all of them. The questions were done in Spanish as well that the answers were shared by interpretation. Some people questioned this procedure.

"I'm disappointed today that 43 million Latinos in this country, for them not to hear one of their own speak Spanish, is unfortunate," said Richardson, the governor of New Mexico. "In other words, Univision is promoting English-only in this debate."

Dodd, who served in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic, also speaks Spanish fluently. He called for more U.S. engagement with Latin America, including a lifting of trade embargo against Cuba.

"We're allowing a Hugo Chavez to win a public relations effort in Latin America because we don't invest enough in Latin America," he said.

Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel boasted that he's also bilingual — in French. "I honor everyone who comes to this country as an immigrant because we are all immigrants." Hillary Clinton also expressed: "We should remember that the Mexicans were first in this land".

Other comments were related to the war in Irak, and they mentioned that the Hispanics are the one who have received more medals from this word. The Hispanics are the ones who are fighting for this country.
