<br />
So you want to be successful huh?<br />
Well there is one thing is this world that has the ability to change our whole life in an instant.<br />
You know what it is, <b>its ACTION!</b><br />
So first step, you just need to make a decision.<br />
<br />
<b>Ask yourself this, a year from now, five years from now, what are you going to wish you did today?</b><br />
The secret to getting ahead in this world, is first getting started.<br />
You can't let FEAR stand in the way of your DREAMS!<br />
You cannot think "Oh what if this doesn't work".<br />
If you believe enough in the PROCESS and the END RESULT, success is going to come to you!<br />
It will.<br />
You just have to be willing to see it through to the END!<br />
<br />
But first you just have to jump in the DEEP END!<br />
Once something goes into motion, it stays in motion.<br />
<br />
<b>The process itself feeds the fire</b>, you can't be trapped by FEAR!<br />
<br />
Limits like FEARS, they are ILLUSIONS, disregard them.<br />
If your passionate about it and you go full throttle, there is no doubt, you're going to be good at it.<br />
Because <b>what makes someone good at something?<br />
Its dedication, hard work and doing it with the proper direction and methodology.</b><br />
So if you plug away, you're going to be good.<br />
<br />
<b>But what makes someone a professional at something?</b><br />
It's the concept of taking that little idea, that little decision you make and executing to take it as far as your imagination holds.<br />
<br />
<b>Dedicating every breath in your body, to that single cause.</b><br />
Seeing the grand picture at the end of the road, TO BE THE ABSOLUTE BEST and not settling for any reason.<br />
<br />
<i>It's not talent, it's not innate ability, it simply comes down to how hungry you are!<br />
How hungry are you to improve?<br />
How BIG is your appetite for success?<br />
What are you willing to do to reach your dreams?</i><br />
<br />
<b>The professionals, the best at their craft, they don't care about the naysayers, they don't care about the fun they're foregoing. They don't take days off, they are 100% set in their ways of perfecting their craft!</b><br />
<br />
Because it's all for a much larger purpose than any semblance of immediate gratification provides.<br />
Reaching your goal, well that's just pure bliss!<br />
The higher the expectations, the larger the goal, well the feeling just magnifies!<br />
So what is the difference between you and them?<br />
<br />
<b>The professionals, they are the ones who are willing to knock on the doors of complete exhaustion, every single day.</b><br />
<br />
Now let me define exhaustion for you...exhaustion is at that very point, where it is so damn painful that you just can't push anymore.<br />
That it hurts so bad, you can't even think straight.<br />
<br />
It's in reaching that point, that deep down, <b>you know you did absolutely everything in your power.<br />
That there wasn't one more thing you could have done.</b><br />
<br />
So what's the difference between them and you?<br />
What are you doing at this very moment in time?<br />
Ask yourself this...are you moving closer towards your goals?<br />
Or are you moving farther away from them?<br />
Are you knocking on those doors of exhaustion, or are you just uncomfortable?<br />
<br />
<i>You see, being uncomfortable is NOT exhaustion.<br />
Being uncomfortable is your mind quitting before your body.<br />
Being uncomfortable is just saying no to trying again.</i><br />
<br />
Achieving greatness happens when you're willing to do something that will kill you just to make you better.<br />
<br />
You see, it's easier to buy the ticket to see the game, than it is to be the one to prepare for it.<br />
It's easier to hang out with your friends than it is to hang with the stairs for an hour.<br />
It's easier to sleep in than it is to wake up and do a hundred sprints.<br />
It's easier to go to a party than it is to go ass to the grass in the squats.<br />
It's easier to watch athletes from the couch, than it is to be the one hoisting the trophy.<br />
<br />
But <b>it's also a lot easier to look back on your life and know you gave it your all, than it is to live with<br />
regrets.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Not living up to your potential, well that weighs on your shoulders for a lifetime.</b><br />
<br />
No one ever said that being successful was going to be easy.<br />
But I'll tell you one thing, it sure as hell is worth it!<br />
You are your own maker in this world and there is no such thing as failure.<br />
<br />
You just have to tell it NO!<br />
<br />
Not this time, not with me! I'm gonna try again and again and again and I'm gonna look failure straight<br />
in the face, and I'm gonna tell it that I'm willing to go through all the struggles to reach my dreams!<br />
<br />
Because without struggle, there is never going to be any progress.<br />
<br />
It's all in HOW BAD YOU WANT IT!<br />
How BIG is your appetite for SUCCESS?<br />
Do you just want to fight?<br />
Or are you out there STARVING for it?<br />
<br />
STAY EMPTY!<br />
STAY DRIVEN!<br />
STAY HUNGRY!<br />
<br />

Are you in a good relationship? - Part 1

<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a previous publication I mentioned how important it was to use persuasion in our relationships. This time I will provide other <b>tools that will allow you to develop more fulfilling relationships</b>.<br>
<br>
Specifically, I will discuss these five things you should keep in mind for self improvement and growth to also spread to your partner and your romantic relationship:<br>
<br>
<i>1. Learn from your partner</i><br>
<i>2. Recognize her/his strengths</i><br>
<i>3. Recognize her/his point of view</i><br>
<i>4. Be interested in the most important people in the life of your partner</i><br>
<i>5. Create opportunities for fun.</i><br>
<br>
For now, I will address these issues in a very general and schematic way, but I will dedicate future occasions to go deeper into each of these aspects, especially those ones perceived as more fundamental and/or complex. Your comments will enable me to identify the points that you consider the most important (and perhaps the most difficult) in relationships.<br>

What can really motivate you to exercise? Find out with this quiz

<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first things that should be clear in your mind about exercising is why you want to do it. So I need to ask yourself exactly what you want to achieve with exercise. If you think you do not want to achieve anything in particular, I would like you to begin to wonder why you think it would be good to exercise. For now, focus on the benefits (later we will discuss the costs of exercise and why it's worth the effort).<br>
<br>
With some psychological literature, I have designed the following questionnaire for you to begin to identify the reasons why you like -or would like- to exercise. This will help you to know which things can motivate you more when you do not feel like exercising.<br>

<b>Self-report of motives and attitudes towards physical exercise</b><br>
<br>
Below are a number of reasons and beliefs that most people have about physical activity in all its forms (like leisure, like exercise, like sport). Read each statement carefully and answer in what extent each motive or attitude is true -or would be true if you were to practice exercise- specifically for you. Please note that there are no right or wrong answers. <br>
<br>
Answer as honestly as possible and make sure you have available at least ten minutes to think every answer calmly.<br>

The best 5 tricks to improve your vocabulary

<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><blockquote>One forgets words as one forgets names. <br />
One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing <br />
or it will die.<br />
<b>Evelyn Waugh</b><br />
<br />
Loving your language <br />
means a command of its vocabulary <br />
beyond the level of the everyday.<br />
<b>John McWhorter</b><br />
<br />
The most important thing <br />
is to read as much as you can, <br />
like I did. <br />
It will give you an understanding <br />
of what makes good writing <br />
and it will enlarge your vocabulary.<br />
<b>J. K. Rowling</b></blockquote></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Having a large vocabulary will always be useful in the different dimensions of our lives, especially those having to do with our profession or studies. The amount of knowledge you can acquire (and the speed at which you acquire this knowledge) increases when you are able to understand and use new words in both your native language and in other languages.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLQ9DtyppM3Xq_J2vZphoU8skjzLD5HLr0Wr8HJtIiSQQihTOCjOy7Snh3L-WI42YiqPSlfeNLgvqcWTwjWBVrckbweNQ-HWmhI3TBk33gF0jBXHS8CtbhyvaXk3mEXAvuLeMP7dKAi-4/s1600/Build-Your-Vocabulary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="5 Ways to Enhacen Your Vocabulary" border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLQ9DtyppM3Xq_J2vZphoU8skjzLD5HLr0Wr8HJtIiSQQihTOCjOy7Snh3L-WI42YiqPSlfeNLgvqcWTwjWBVrckbweNQ-HWmhI3TBk33gF0jBXHS8CtbhyvaXk3mEXAvuLeMP7dKAi-4/s400/Build-Your-Vocabulary.jpg" title="Easy Ways to Improve and Expand Your Vocabulary" width="400" /></a></div><br />
If you need to write and read or if you need to constantly acquire new information (eg, in your university studies) certainly, having a large vocabulary will be very beneficial. In one sentence, you'll do it faster and you'll do it better.<br />
<br />
In this post I want to compile a series of recommendations that can be useful for you to improve your vocabulary, even if you are learning another language. I will be adding new strategies as I find them. If you know any that is not included, I will be happy to read your comment.<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<h2><b>1. Read a lot</b></h2><br />
<br />
This is the most popular recommendation. But usually no one tell us what to read and how. So let me clarify some points:<br />
<br />
<h3>Read about various topics</h3><br />
Usually people do not consider this point and just read about the things they like. Although you can learn a little, your vocabulary will be quite restricted. Over time, your vocabulary will indeed, increase, but in a small proportion.<br />
<br />
Diversify your reading, read on all subjects, both those that are more common for you and those that do not. Read fun facts, scientific or technological advances, celebrity news, etc.<br />
<br />
If you've always wanted to learn about something really interesting, but you never did it, this is your chance, think of the new words that you can use when you speak or write.<br />
<br />
<h3>Read different genres and different types of texts</h3><br />
Read academic texts, read blogs and literature. These types as different text will help you learn different styles and will teach you varied words. <br />
<br />
Again, do not limit yourself to one type of text.<br />
<br />
However, if you don't have much time, reading poetry is the most effective method. Poets strive to use different, striking and sonorous words, and in my experience as a reader, I have not found greater diversity of words in any other texts.<br />
<br />
<h3>Do not try to guess words from their context</h3><br />
This is a bad strategy for at least two reasons:<br />
<br />
First, some words can mean different things in different contexts. In other words, most words have a unique context. For example, the term "yield" can be used as verb or noun. As a verb, it means to give, but also means producing (two whole different things).<br />
<br />
Second, the words you guess contextually do not stay on your head. You never learn them. You will never use them because you do not know what they mean, the only thing you do with this strategy is to get rid of the dictionary. You'll temporary understand what you read or hear, but nothing more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TOzYMH-DjHk4vmOIQQ-Zqm4ysqdxGzANIHdgkEROFB15n6yGdHd8ADJ6onbBPTEQKE-Y1glnDqz7ATaBSEp8035VC9E6Afq8VWBmDk8uVmzK_bqqCudaIBpV3aoF0ZgU2JzhoIHR4YE/s1600/Improve-Your-Vocabulary.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TOzYMH-DjHk4vmOIQQ-Zqm4ysqdxGzANIHdgkEROFB15n6yGdHd8ADJ6onbBPTEQKE-Y1glnDqz7ATaBSEp8035VC9E6Afq8VWBmDk8uVmzK_bqqCudaIBpV3aoF0ZgU2JzhoIHR4YE/s400/Improve-Your-Vocabulary.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<b></b><br />
<h2><b>2. Learn words by categories and groupings</b></h2><br />
<br />
Do not try to learn words at random. Try to organize and connect them together, this will help you memorize faster and better.<br />
<br />
Think about the words you learn as part of a group.<br />
<br />
<h3>Learn words by contexts and common places</h3><br />
For example, learn the words that have to do with the country, the fullness and joy of spring: romp, frond, bucolic, bud, zephyr, fertile, glare, flock, chrysalis, orchard, primrose, alleluia, etc.<br />
<br />
Since we just passed January, we can think of words about the start or beginning of things and events as: novice, preliminary, genesis, prelude, firstborn, premise, preface, threshold, neophyte, initiate, novel, scoop, pristine, cosmogony, premature, newborn, lintel, etc.<br />
<br />
How many words of the above groups you can recognize? How many you can define?<br />
<br />
<h3>Group them by themes</h3><br />
By areas of study such as psychology, literature, engineering, etc.<br />
Interests, sports, nutrition, technology, etc.<br />
<br />
<h3>Group them by synonyms and antonyms</h3><br />
Do not settle for the words you already know, try to think in similar ways of saying the same thing. If you always say everything is great, try to use other words like fantastic, fabulous, spectacular, wonderful, awesome, amazing, wonderful, etc. <br />
<br />
If you always tell your best friend that he/she is a fool, also you can say slow, idiot, dumb, stupid, moron, goofy, poult, bland, blockhead, dunce, etc. Hey, I'm not encouraging you to treat people badly, but at least you can diversify how you say things.<br />
<br />
The idea is to think about common words and try to translate them to synonyms not so common.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim2z4Fmz3Or-zgNV_3EfKOy34r9u16FL4RmRa_ZKR8r7P3UgvGEQ1f7reGb5yiHbL-HsCVUJDcoxPg0rmUwdmlazzro0bLMhyuwaGT00Zl5LxJliF3J9Kxs6zjj2KmHu_yjT6yQ_YJwjo/s1600/Improve-Your-Vocabulary-Blank-Tablets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How to Increase your Vocabulary: 5 Advices" border="0" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim2z4Fmz3Or-zgNV_3EfKOy34r9u16FL4RmRa_ZKR8r7P3UgvGEQ1f7reGb5yiHbL-HsCVUJDcoxPg0rmUwdmlazzro0bLMhyuwaGT00Zl5LxJliF3J9Kxs6zjj2KmHu_yjT6yQ_YJwjo/s400/Improve-Your-Vocabulary-Blank-Tablets.jpg" title="How to Build Your Vocabulary: 5 Steps" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<b></b><br />
<h2><b>3. Use notepads and sticky notes</b></h2><br />
<br />
Carry a small notebook and write down the new words you learn. Write not only its meaning. Make sentences with them.<br />
<br />
Use sticky notes with the same purpose.<br />
<br />
It is important that you put in use these new words, and you must do it frequently. Try to use new words at least three times a day. Your vocabulary has to be active and not merely passive. The passive vocabulary are those words that you understand but do not use. The active vocabulary are those words that you can use when you want, because it's already in your head, stored, categorized, defined and ready for you to use in the appropiate.<br />
<br />
Do not settle to the understanding alone. Use the new words you learn everyday. You don't have to feel shame or embarrassment. If your listeners do not understand, define the word and make it possible for them to use the new words they learn from you.<br />

Another alternative is to use a calendar of words. A calendar of words is a calendar that gives you a new word every day of the year. Earlier in the day, you focus on the word and try to use it as many times as you can in that day.<br />

<h2><b>4. Practice (by writing and playing)</b></h2><br />
<br />
Write often. Write messages birthdays and other celebrations in a more elaborate way. Write stories. Write some poems. Try to write a novel.<br />
<br />
Write your opinion about a specific topic. Create a blog, for example. Always try to use precise words for the exact things you want to communicate.<br />
<br />
Play with puzzles and word games. Crosswords often bring unfamiliar words, as their creators need to include atypical words to fit with the rest of the words. Play Scrabble, Boggle, Cranium and any similar games.<br />

<h2><b>5. Learn suffixes and prefixes</b></h2><br />
<br />
This is the best recommendation EVER!. Many words are composed of roots and endings that give meaning to the rest of the sentence. For example, if you have gastritis, the ending "itis" means an inflammation. The termination ITIS will always mean the same.<br />
<br />
The most useful suffixes for me are the greek ones; but I think that prefixes are more important.<br />

<h2>6. Learn Latin and Greek (optional)</h2><br />
Vulgar Latin led to many existing languages currently known as Romance languages. If you learn Latin, you will understand the roots of many languages -such as Spanish, French and Italian- and it will be much easier to learn new words.</div><br />
