In generally English in Chile is so deficient in some aspects, like the fact that always in all the schools the teachers focus only in the grammar and forget the spoken english, the flowing of it and the most of the school never give you books in english to study and learn, because of aaaall these things in Chile, the level of english is low.

In my personal experience with the english in the university, i consider that it´ve a low level, not because the teachers, because in the university you have too much matters to study, and the students see english like a boring and dispensable subject, but the most influential aspect is the fact that we, like the people that we´re, we don´t need the english in a imperative form, we don´t need it to eat, to understand some thing, because in generally the poeple of Chile don´t travel at the outlands to much, the english in the present how i said, is dispensable for us.

I had english in the Universidad del Desarollo and U. of Chile, the level in a scale of 1 at 10, the university of development is in a 3 and U. of Chile is in a 5. In both they don´t pass to much grammar, they focus in do guides and do some oral presentations. In the personal and taking the confessions of some people, the university has to do more oral interaction, more activities where you´ve to talk and interact with the people, not do guides, because the most of people in chile don´t need lear read english at the perfection, only know how to talk, interact and do question in the outlands, and a basic level of reading english, only to follow the instructions that some signs have.

Other thing that the teachers sometimes do is speak in spanish with the students, it´s to bad, because the students below thing only ask at the teacher in spanish, not in english. I know that too much students don´t understand when the teacher speak, i´m one of them, but, when the teacher use images or do gestures with the hands and the body, is more easy understand the spoken english.

Was a good year with english considering the hard that was the year, i enjoy english at all.

Something that the most of the people have to have is the conviction of something divine. You could believe in god, in Buda, in the Mother Heart, in the Cosmos, in any thing that you want, but you have to believe in something to live, to give pourpose to your life. You born, you study, you grown, you get married, you work, but always believing in something divine that you can`t explain or understand, in the fund these is the engine of your life.

This property of the people in believe in something WAS and IS a way for the authority and the goberments to control the people, especially the ignorant people, and this kind of control is called for me, RELIGION.

Until immmemorial times the people had religions, and how it born? it born to the necesity of the people to explain thing that they can`t explain, something that we can`t understand. For example thousands year ago the people could not explain the fact that the sun in the day, and the moon in the night, and in Egypt for example they thought in something divine, in something that they called "RA"the god. And it god had certain attitudes that represented him, and RA will punish the acctitudes of the people that he considered bad. So, the people that invented RA, how finally find a way to explain the thing that they can`t explain, impouse the rules of RA to the other people, and with the time the people with power and money appointed themselves like the representatives of RA and his rules, so with it, the people was subject to the rules that impouse the people with money and power, the people that represented RA, the people that call this impossition RELIGION. (I put RA only like a example to try to make you the thing easier to understand the point)

Well, with these explanation now you know the origin of the religions, and if we look the actual times, we can realize that the most of the religions impouse to people rules, and it don`t matter if you don`t like the rules, if you don`t follow it you`re bad and will be rejected by the other people. It happen if you`re ignorant and believe in everything that the people show you, but if you analyse the thing you can realize that the impousition is only a way to control you, and always the people with power try to use the religions to control the people.

So, advice is, if you don`t know something and you want a explain, don`t believe in everything that the people show you, first think, analyse and next chose the thing that you want to believe.

Have a nice time. Bye-Bye

Exist a myth about that the people can learn things while they`re sleep, and remember it when they are awake, but it is like i said at the begining, it`s only a myth.
The idea arose in the World War II, when the people thought that spies could learn the languages and customs of other countries with this system (learn while they sleep).
Some people did some experiments with people to try to see if a person can learn in the dreams.
Summarizing all the experiments, the result tell us that learn while we sleep is a myth, exist evidence of this experiments who show that the people that was submitted at the experiments, at the next morning they remember some thing of the record that they heard when they was "sleep", but the myth is considerer a myth because remember some things of some things that you heard the last night is one thing, but learn subjects that require analysis and understanding is imposible if we`re sleep, because of that "learn while we sleep" is a myth.

Now, in my opinion and basing in my knowledge, when we`re sleep, in a deep sleep our consciusness is gone, but our senses are awake always in the most of people, so, in our dream we could receive some stimulies of the environment we`re sleeping and these stumulies could change our dream, but nothing more, meaby we can remember our dream in the morning, but nothing more. Like i said, if we are in a deep sleep, our consciusness is gone, and because of that we can`t do analysis of subjects or have a decent level of understanding, so try to learn some subject is practically imposible. Is better study when we`re awake and stop to find a easy method for everything.

A healthy Lifestye doesn`t means stop eat or go to the GYM every days, a healthy lifestyle means have a balance in your life, physically and psychologically. And how can we achieve it? We only need a strong mind.

Let`s start talking about the food. The food is a big problem for a healthy lifestyle, especially in these times, whereever you go, you have a fast food local, they`re tasty and FAST like her name say. Now, how can we avoid this locals? We only need a strong mind. Is true that cook every days our lunch is soooo boring for some people, including me, but the fact of eat in McDonalds or something like that is only our mistake. I understand that some people don`t have time for cook but, if you have the time to go to the Mcdonald, you also could go to an alternative local food where the difference of prices with the fast food locals isn`t to much, meaby a little more expensive that McDonald but 100% more healthy, this food take a little more time in be ready but the benefits at your body are awesome. Oooh!! Now that i remember, exist another important factor, such important like eat healthy food is eat at the right time, if you have to lunch in the lunchtime do it, but don`t eat in middle of the eat`s times.
In summary if you want have a healthy lifestyle you need a strong mind to sacrifice a few of your time and your money in change of a better life.

Now, let`s pass to he Physical exercices, you don`t need do exercices every days, you only need a little dose of 2 or 3 hours of Monday at Friday. But exist a problem, the time, always the exuse of the time, if we have time to sit in our sofa and watch T.V, we have time to do some exercice too. I admit that the most of the exercices are boring, but you could take a course of something where you`ll some exercices and will have a good time, mmmh for example kickboxing, football etc... And if you really don`t have time in the day for noone of this things is because you are a workaholic and it suck.

The last thing is a mental healthy, and how can we get it? I really don`t know, y only have some advices for you, for example, "If you have something to say, never keep it inside you, or it will destroy you" another is "you never have to live at expenses of the opinion of others, life your ouwn life", this advices will bring you mental peace. Again, to do it you need a strong mind if you want get a better quality of life.

This is all, enjoy you week. ^.-

I think that everyone have almost one good rememer of his chilhood, the first time that we ride in bike, the first love, a birthday, etc... I have these moments too, but i remember a particular moment in my chilhood that teach me something valuable...The reward of effort.
The history beggin when i had meaby 12 or 14 years old in the school. I dind`t was a very good student at that time, my GPA was between 58-60, and it didn`t care me, but one day i see in a mall, a playstation 1. Leater i was fascinated with it, but no one could buy it, because the price and my parents did not pleased me every caprice that i had.(Now i thank them because of that)
Sooooo, because of my parents didn`t want buy me the playstation i was very ungry >:( because i loved it too much, i beg them aaaaaall the days but they always told me the same "we`re not going to buy you it, because you haven`t done any merit". One day i tried to convince my parents that if i made my bed every days for a looong time they will bought me the playstation, they told me "-Okay, but we`re going to change your condition, if you have a GPA of 64, we`re going to bought you the playstation-" i was in shock O.O , happy by a side because they had accept my deal, but worried by the other side because have a 64...afff it`ll be sooooo difficult.
At the beggining i studied a lot, i was motivated at all. My grades were started to be better, the days, weekends and months passed, and the day of the delivery notes comes. My final grade was, a 61. I was in shock again, all my effort and a 61. My fathers...they felt hurt because of me, they knew how much i had studied, i beg them again but they told me "-The deal is a 64, very little things are achieved at the first attempt, tried again the next year-".
Now, i was very very ungry, -fucking effort- i said. But i wanted the playstation too much, with aaaaaall my soul, so i tried it again. 1 year passed and in the delivery notes...I remember all the secuence of the things that happened, we were in circle, and the teacher was screaming the GPA of everyone, my heart was at the maximum, the failure of the first time had me scared, i couldn`t support a failure again, i couldn`t... So, while i was thinking in the concecuences of a failure, i heard my name, all the voices of my classmates disappeared and i only heard the voice of the teacher, it was direct and bluntly, a son off a bi...64. I stand up of my chair and i kneel and scream, -Gooooood !!! Goooood!!!-, i won finally my playstation i was very happy, the feelling of win something that you had effort a lot is amazing and special. The lesson was the if you have a goal you have to effort at the max. and not always the reward come at the first attempt.

Bye-Bye and don`t forget post because i`ll in your posts.

Write about somethink that i like is good, but write about something that could be usefull for the one that read it...is better. In this case is about the couraje, and what kind of couraje?, the one that you use to do the thing that you want to do.
Everyone knows that lack of couraje, the shame and the indecicion are defects that everyone have, and we know the concecuences of that too...impotency, hate ourselves, depresion, meaby the feeling of be empty...Who know what else. All this defects are summarized in the lack of couraje, How?, it`s simple, for example, a classical case; a guy who wants to dance ballet, but of course he knows the concecuences if he take his decicion, mockeries, banneds, etc... The society is like. He could blames it and don´t fulfill his dreams, take the other way that he don`t want and live the rest of his life feeling impotency, hate himself, but ironically always with the excuse that "the society don´t let me be". Nobody forces you take the bad way, obiusly you`ll have some problems with some people but is better than live at the expense of the opinion of others. Exist a reality that you probably know, the fact that we don´t know the thing that we have until we lose it. So we could think that doesn`t exist solution at the problem, but WAIT A MOMENT!! We have the example of a million of people that took the bad way, now you can´t say that you was not warned. The solution is the same that everyone need when we are shamed for the music that we hear, the same solution that we need when we force ourselves doing things that we really don´t want to do, but we also do for the fear of the outside opinion. The solution is the COURAJE, have the couraje of accept the outside criticizes and take your own decicion, have the couraje of take the insecure way that everyone tell you that you don`t have to take, but even so you want to take. Meaby you think that it`s easy to say, but not to do. And you`re right. It`s not easy have couraje, all of us have it, but a few find it. I don`t tell you how to find the couraje because i don`t know, but i can tell you how to find it by yourself, you only have to stop for a moment and think about the concecuence of the million of people that took the way absent of couraje and think if you want it for you too...i think that nobody want it, include you. This is all, my only advice.
I don`t have nothin more to say, meaby only that you could read a poem of Jorge Luis Borges called "Instantes", meaby this poem can make you think about some things.

I enclose you a link to make you the things easier.
