I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.

From Rome to Rochester: The History of the Hamburger

Rara vez en la historia se crean héroes en el momento justo de mostrar su valentía. En los campos de batalla, los reportajes sobre los héroes caídos han tardado en recibir el reconocimiento de los pueblos. La historia, en ocasiones tarda y detiene por generaciones la gloria y el reconocimiento que merecen los héroes más valerosos. En México, los personajes más destacados de la Revolución Mexicana tardaron casi cuarenta años en recibir su reconocimiento como héroes por el Congreso de la Unión. Este no fue el caso del joven ferrocarrilero Jesús García Corona. No existe otro héroe civil en la historia de México que haya recibido tan grandes reconocimientos, muestras de aprecio y agradecimiento con tanta premura como el héroe de Nacozari. Solo unas horas habían transcurrido desde su fallecimiento y ya se entonaban las notas marciales de una admirable marcha compuesta expresamente a su memoria. No transcurrió un solo día sin que el héroe Jesús García fuese proclamado como benefactor de la humanidad. La misma tarde de los acontecimientos, el gobernador del estado de Sonora hacía reconocimiento del gran gesto heroico del joven ferrocarrilero. Al día siguiente, los diarios nacionales e internacionales proclamaban el heroísmo del héroe Jesús García Corona.
José Jesús García Corona nace un 2 de noviembre de 1881 en la ciudad de Hermosillo, Sonora. Hijo del Sr. Francisco García Pino y la Sra. Rosa Corona de García; fueron sus hermanos Trinidad, Ángela, Artemisa, Rosa, Francisco, Manuel y Miguel. En 1898, la familia decide trasladarse a Nacozari, lugar que, a finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, se encontraba en plena efervescencia minera y ferroviaria. Fue en este pueblo minero donde logró consolidarse como buen empleado a la corta edad de 17 años. Su buen desempeño en la empresa minera le permitió ocupar el cargo de maquinista de locomotoras a la edad de 20 años.
