La Decena Trágica.

La Decena Trágica comenzó el 9 de febrero de 1913, cuando un grupo de inconformes se levantaron en armas en contra del gobierno de Francisco I. Madero y terminó el 19 del mismo mes.

A partir de este movimiento, tuvieron lugar una serie de enfrentamientos entre traidores y leales al gobierno que culminaron con el asesinato de Madero el 22 de febrero del mismo año y con la llegada ilegítima de Victoriano Huerta a la presidencia.

Después de que Porfirio Díaz abandonara el poder, Madero ganó las elecciones y se convirtió en presidente. Sin embargo, su gobierno no satisfizo las expectativas que tenían los revolucionarios. No había cumplido sus promesas de campaña y su actitud ante los seguidores de Díaz fue demasiado moderada. Esto llevó a que diversos grupos -como el de Emiliano Zapata- se levantaran en armas.

Al principio, Madero había logrado contener a las fuerzas opositoras. No obstante, el panorama cambió cuando se inició la Decena Trágica con el “Cuartelazo” del 9 de febrero de 1913. Ese día, tanto la tropa del Cuartel de Tacubaya como la Escuela Militar de Aspirantes de Tlalpan se sublevaron en contra del gobierno Maderista.

Ambos opositores llegaron al Zócalo de la Capital. Cuando lo hicieron, tomaron varios edificios y el General Manuel Mondragón exigió la liberación de Bernardo Reyes en la prisión militar de Santiago Tlatelolco. A su vez, Reyes puso en libertad al General y sobrino de Porfirio Díaz: Félix Díaz.

Entonces, Félix Díaz y Bernardo Reyes emprendieron el camino hacia Palacio Nacional. Aunque no contaban con que el General Lauro Villar, había hecho prisioneros a los Aspirantes de Tlalpan. Al darse cuenta de esto, primero el General Ruiz y luego Bernardo Reyes, trataron de dialogar con Lauro Villar.

Como resultado, se dio un enfrentamiento en el que Ruiz fue apresado, Reyes asesinado y Villar herido. Debido a esto, Villar fue enviado al Hospital Militar y su cargo lo cubrió el General Victoriano Huerta.

Habit stacking is a technique where you link a new habit or task to an existing one so it's easier to form. 

To prepare for an interview, start small by reviewing your resume after breakfast each day.

Then, build on that by following it with researching common interview questions while you commute. 

Next, add practicing answers aloud in your car or on a walk. 

Gradually increase difficulty by recording mock interviews on your phone and reviewing where you can improve. 

Soon, your routine will be: 

breakfast > resume review > research questions > practice answers > mock interview. 

Then, take it a step further. After work, fit in calling contacts for referrals during your regular exercise. 

Follow exercise with reviewing your networking and researching the company more in-depth. 
Right before bed, update your notes so it's fresh in your mind. 

Within a few weeks, all these small, connected habits will have you fully prepared without much effort since it's just an extension of your daily routine. 

Habit stacking makes interview prep seamless and ensures you put your best foot forward on the big day!
