Hapiness


Flow is the best mental state where somebody is totally involved in an activity. People who are in the flow state don’t have problems with attention because they can focus all the energy for fulfilling their projects. In this way, they are motivated, happy, optimist and confident. In my opinion, flow is more than a mental state, it is a feeling of satisfaction at doing something.

Life satisfaction is a subjective concept of happiness. Why is it subjective? Because, people are happy for different reasons, they don’t always share the same likes and ideas. This concept depends on a variety of factors; one of the most important is the quality of life, for instance, a good job. The most important things to consider in a normal life are love, luck, health and job, to name a few. If you ask me, a true love is the best thing that you can have, because when you love to someone and at the same this person loves you, it feels like an unbroken happiness feeling.

How they have been applied or what areas of life they’ve been applied to and how.
Do you believe in this idea of happiness?

Fistable, life satisfaction sounds like a capital dream. For example, commercials are always trying to sell satisfaction and happiness with their products or services to people. So, I really don’t believe in these kinds of superficial dreams. However, I think that I have a satisfactory life when the most important things in my life are working well. This feeling is awesome, you feel very optimist and with a lot of energy for doing different activities. In respect to flow, I used to be involved in the different activities of my life; however, this year I cannot enjoy my universities subjects and their corresponding works.

What do you think have been the happiest moments of your life?

I am not sure about it. Maybe, the happiest moments of my life have been to get my first dog and the second one (you can look them at the same order on the top of this post). Concerning this year, the happiest moment was to meet my current girlfriend.

Can you think of a person that inspires you in terms of having a positive attitude?

My friends inspire me with their comments and advices; nevertheless, nobody has always a positive attitude in front the life because we always have bad experiences which are not always easy to overcome, in particular, the death of a friend.

Why do you think so many people are unhappy in their jobs?

Well…Firstable, there are a lot of lousy jobs that really suck. I´ve worked in two supermarkets, and the paid was terrible. You can spend a lot of time working eight hours per day and at the end of month you receive a shitty salary. For example, the last time that I worked in Lider Santa Amalia supermarket I had to move the trollies, which were so exhausting. I did that only for a month, in that month I just had 6 days free. Finally, I got one hundred seventeen thousand pesos. I work 25 days in a month and I only received one hundred seventeen thousand pesos, OMG! It is like five thousand for day. I wouldn’t like to know if there are little ducks’ supermarkets, maybe in these places you receive one thousand for day. (Miss: You need to know what is Universidad de los Patitos y la librería delos patitos)

Second, most people only work for money, students in particular. In my case, I worked in supermarkets because I needed money. I didn’t want to be happy doing that. I have to admit that work is not bad at all, I found so funnies workmates. If you work you can find a variety of people. Nevertheless, if you receive a bad remuneration, you probably think that working is terrible.

If you could choose any job, what job would you choose and why?

I have two options. I would like to work in a nature reserve, like a veterinarian or whatever because I would like to help animals in dangerous. The other option is totally opposite, I would like to be a business magnate like Bill Gates because I could have a lot of money. In this way, I could do a lot of things.

Why do you think you would enjoy this job?

I think that I could enjoy working in a nature reserve because I could share with animals and help them. I will be happy if animals can live free or without dangers.

Why would it be a satisfying job to do?

Because when you can share with animals and help them, you feel that you are doing something good for them. I think one of the most satisfying jobs is helping others because you feel comfortable.

Do you know anybody who has this kind of job?

No, really. Nonetheless, I have watched a lot of movies and documentaries programs about conservation and protection of endangered species.

Could a countryman make a heroic deed?


823 T648c c.1

Most people tend to think that only heroes or important people could make fantastic acts for humanity. Nevertheless, I do not consider that because there are common people who always have been making good things. What’s more, they are not famous such as the main character of my book who called Egidio.


Egidio is just a common farmer; however, they could fight with dragons and giants. For example, he saved the village from a big giant that destroyed all the places as far as possible. Although people believed that the knights were the only ones able to kill a dragon, people realized that they are not enough for fulfilling this mission. As a consequence, they talked with Egidio for killing a dragon that was eating all the human beings.


Some people who are known for their goods act turns in famous heroes. When they lost the privacy of their deeds, everybody knows about it and used them like servants of the society. Then, people become dependents of these heroes. For instance, people from Ham village wanted to be rich saying to Egidio that he had not kill the dragon because it can gave them money if he let it rest in peace. On the other hands, there are anonymous people who do not receive this recognition they deserved. Firefighters, in particular, do not receive anything from the community. Because they do not turn in famous like some common people, for the reason that they just doing their work.


To conclude, I have to say that a real hero is the person who is altruistic. People who make things for turning in famous or because they like feeling admired, they just think about themselves. You should help others because they need it, this is the only reasonable and moral reason.

http://e-pregrado.uahurtado.cl



I had to decide between Facebook and http://e-pregrado.uahurtado.cl but I knew that some classmates could choose Facebook too. As a consequence, I decided to talk about my beautiful university web page. :)

I don’t know how to explain that the called “virtual page” is awesome and wonderful, if you know “autogestion page” you really will get crazy. The “virtual” is one of the fastest webpage in the world for that reason my university should win a Guinness World Record. In addition, you can find an extraordinary chat. I´m not joking, that chat is better than msn and Skype. My webpage is abnormal, it´s must be created by aliens because it always is working. I´ve never heard critics about it, it never keeps freezing.

I like being ironic, I really dislike my university web page. Sometimes, I find that I have three files without read, and when I read them nothing change. I hate that because something I really think that I have important files to read. In other cases is worst because you have important files and notifications to read, and these don’t appear in the page. I´d like to be a Trojan or a virus for destroying this suck system.

I try to visit it every day. I don’t remember exactly when was the first time that I surfed in this page but this could be in the summer of 2009 before that I had gone to the university. In that time, I was looking for files that I could use in the future.

Homeschooling




I took this information from this source: http://www.elmorrocotudo.cl/admin/render/noticia/9349. It is a web page about local news from Arica and Parinacota. I was looking “alternative education” and I found this article.

It is about a new kind of education which gives tools to parents for teaching their sons. This kind of teaching has been increasing in Europe and USA; moreover, it is coming to South America. Most people say they prefer this education because schools are dangerous for their children. In this way, they feel comfortable and safe about the real level of knowledge; besides, they are “the teachers” of these particular classes. What´s more, they can spend more time with them and realize what their problems are.

If you ask me, I don’t think that it is convenient. Children need to be students because they need to share with other people and work in groups. I think this kind of education is bad because it keeps in isolation children from the real world. For me, one of the best purposes of the school is creating social relations like friendship. If you teach your sons in your house, they will be isolated from the society. What happens when they grow up? They are going to have problems because they will be dependents of his parents.

I believe this information is important for our society for make a reflection about our education, I wouldn’t like to hear to someone like a minister of education saying that they won’t sort the school problems out; consequently, parents must teach their sons.
Sincerely, I dislike this kind of teaching what is called homeschooling because this could impact on my future job, I am joking. Although representatives of “homeschooling” say that this kind of education doesn’t isolate children because parents can give permission to their sons for going to the museums, concerts and parks. I don’t believe it could be possible because most parents don’t have time for doing these things.

Make a difference


The power of the people is awesome, when we can organize among us we can do a lot of things. The problem is that we are not used to listen to others. If we are united like a big team we will able to do something for sorting out the problems of the city, and then for our country. A big change needs the support of everybody, if you try making changes in the life and nobody helps you, don´t give up you can do it by yourself without problems. It will be so hard and slow, but along the time more people will be joining in your cause.



I really think if you are alone is more difficult make a difference, however, it’s not impossible. I have a dream, I would like that every dog in the street could have a home, not just a house because they need love too like kids or babies. I know this dream sounds like impossible, but we have to something right now. Government in 2009 approved a law of exterminate, most people think that they use euthanize; however, it´s not true. Euthanize is so expensive; consequently, they kill dogs and other animals with other methods which are very painful and during until twenty minutes.

I wouldn’t like to be a dog for that reason. We are responsible like society of this problem, we can finish with this problem following these recommendations:

  1. Don’t buy animals, they are not products. Pet’s shops and Kennels are so cruel with them.
  2. If you have a pet, you must sterilize it because you will have problems with puppies in the future, they are difficult to give away, female in particular.
  3. they should be free!. Animal are like humans, they are not able to talk but they can feel emotions and pains. They have the same right to life than us.
  4. If you have a pet love it.
  5. Pet´s shop, kennels, zoos and the majority of the circus don’t leave animal freely. Don´t participate in their activities.

I follow this list, I visit sometimes pet´s shops for looking these sad animals. I would like to liberate them but they are used to live with humans and they are dependent of us. Humans domesticated these animals and nowadays they are not responsible with them. I hate my race, we are the most selfish, cruel and horrific animal in the world.

I usually give food to animal when I can, I learnt of this video that big problems can be sort out by us. If we do something for animals and we join together in this cause, we can finish with this cruel reality.

Please watch the video!

Slither
By
Velvet Revolver


Hey Hey Hey
When you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, fell to my knees
Fallen, broken every single time

Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you would (sue) me
Might see some type of pleasure in my mind

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see

Hey hey hey
When you seek me you destroy me
Rape my mind and smell the poppies
Born in blood in every single time

Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you might linger
But I see some type of pleasure in my mind

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time with me
[guitar solo]

When you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, fell to my knees
Fallen and broken
Every single time

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time with me

Hey, hey, hey


I heard this song three years ago. I can repeat a lot of times with maximum volume and I´ve never feel boring. It strikes my attention because is a power song. What I was trying to say, that is so powerful, strong, and motivating.

The band of this song is Velvet Revolver, when I listened them for first time I had a high expectative of their music because some of their musicians used to play in Gun and Roses. At the beginning, I didn´t like the vocalist “Scott” I really wanted see Axl Roses (the vocalist of GNR) singing again.

It makes me feel the strongest person in the world, when I sing it I feel like a real vocalist, the best one. I really dont have more word than these.

Police rebellion




I read a lot of information about the conflicts that Ecuador has been suffering, and I cannot give an opinion. I really don’t understand the politics conflicts in South America.

I heard three possible causes that provoked the police rebellion:
* One of them is the passing of the last law, which is not convenient for police officers because this removes some of their benefits.
* The second one is the opposition of the government; they want to recuperate the control of the country.
* The last cause is about a fake kidnapping of the president, he created this situation because he wanted to strike the attention. Why? I don´t know.

I hate the last possible cause, I don’t think that he made up a thing like that, where people died. I won’t express my personal viewpoint about it because I don´t know what is really happening in Ecuador.

"The king Lear"


More tales from Shakespeare
by Charles and Mary Lamb
822.33 S527LC 1961 c.1



Charles and Mary Lamb were brothers whom rewrote the best sellers of Shakespeare with their own words. This book contains 20 tales, I´m not going to resume all of them because it will be a little confused. I think is difficult to choose one of them; however, I have my favorite it´s called “The King Lear”.

The story talked about a King who had to give his throne, he had three daughters but only one of them was a really good girl. First of all, He had to share the kingdom among his heiresses, so he thought: “The sweetest princess will have a big part of my empire”. These girls had to eulogize in the most exaggerate way.

Nonetheless, he didn´t realize that they will be able to do everything for reaching their ambitions. The first one said the most beautiful things that the king had never heard, the second one made her best too. They got two of three part of the kingdom, the last one sister called “Cordelia”. She knew about the avarice of her sisters, she really loved his father and she didn’t exaggerate her love for him. Consequently, at the moment of the interview with the King she didn’t eulogize like her sisters, that situation made King angry. He was terrible furious and decided to expulse away to Cordelia. He will live with his others daughters.

The king was blind but along the time, he realized that the words from his daughters were only lies. He gave the throne to her ambitious girls but they were indifferent and cruel with his father. An old servant of the King held him and took him away from the kingdom. When Cordelia knew about this situation talked with his husband, that was King of France and he gave her some troops. Cordelia met with her father, the king was ashamed he had been a stupid.

Finally, the avarice of Cordelia’s sister killed them. This provoke that a Count took the kingdom and sent to arrest to Cordelia. The King Lear was insane, he died. The book doesn’t explain why he died. That’s really a family tragedy.

END.

Maybe, we are not so patriotic because we know that we lived in a country full of lies. Supposedly, we have an identity but that is only the influence of other cultures. We don´t have anything own, and that is terrible. We never think in ancestral people but in these celebrations everybody loves Mapuche and Rapa Nui culture. We are Chileans only when our Chilean teams play soccer.
I don’t know anything about native people, I´d like to learn. I think we should have bilingual education, in my school I didn’t learn anything about ancestral people. I remember I made a presentation about Onas but that wasn’t enough.
I really I can´t identify with a culture that I don’t know. I hate some people when they said “I´m brave because I have mapuche blood”. They said that and they don’t know anything about them; besides, they don’t know the problems that affect in their lives.
If we think that Chileans are lazy, I could say that is my principal characteristic. I like diversity, I think Chileans are different among them we are heterogeneous. Also, we love double meaning and these kinds of jokes.
I´m not proud to be Chilean. I am not saying that I hate to be Chilean but I really we have to improve a lot like country. The problem is not the people, is our government. Well, we have a bit of responsibility if we are more interesting in important things we could change our reality. We have to support native people.
The so called Chilean culture is an invention, it doesn’t exist but that happens in other countries too. The nationalism was an invention of the high level before of Chile´s independence. They needed create a new state in order, and the patriotism was the perfect way for reach some goals like win territories and minerals in the war of the pacific. I´d like to live in a world without frontiers and lies.
