Hey, guys. I hope you all are having a happy new year. I have a lot of hobbies that overall are associated with a variety of art such as drawing, writing, design and sports. I love art in all its shapes. I like to do any activity which is enjoyable and I can get a great life satisfaction with. I’m currently spending more time on English, that’s one of my favorite hobbies. It makes me be creative, happy, learn new skills and improve my memory. Keep doing all that hobbies that increase key factor in healthy.

Hey, guys! I’m looking forward to practicing my English. I’m looking for someone who is learning Spanish and really wants help with it. I have an upper-intermediate level in English, but I need to improve my speaking a lot. If you’re not a native English speaker, we can do 50/50 in any case. I’d love to know people from any country. We can set a schedule and experience it as a goal. And we can us Skype, Google Meet or Zoom. :) . I’m a very patient, friendly and witty guy:), feel free to hit me up.

Can anyone master a skill in 10,000 hours of practice? Hey there, everyone. I’m gonna lay out some opinions about a book that I’m reading for the second time this quarantine. The book is “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell. Well, the big question that I wonder here about what the book states is: Can anyone master a skill in 10,000 hours of practice? To resume the book, the author made a lot of research about people who have succeeded in certain fields and how they needed at least 10,000 hours to get considered as geniuses. He assures that if you wanna learn something as well as you expect or as well as the character you admire is, you need that amount of hours to achieve it. But, I think that it depends on other and specific factors, which could take less hours, more hours or just the time you need. In fact, some scientists debunk the myth of 10,000 hours of practice according to a study that they made. So, to sum up this, there are factors such as personality, the age you started, intelligence, or something else entirely. For example, I know people who started to play the ukelele a day at 7AM. And practically in 20 hours without getting some rest, they learned the basic chords, and actually they learned how to play a song. From being blank, they moved forward and learned to do something completely new in a short period of time. I remember in 2015 when I decided to stop drawing cartoons and started to draw realistic drawings instead. I remember that day, I was in my room like 18-20 hours straight until I finished. I wanted to challenge myself. I was enthusiastic and really willing to figure out if I was able to do something like that. Like something in a higher level, you know. So, the rest is history, but I keep improving and working on my hours of proficiency. Thanks for reading and correcting!!!

What a hard challenge this quarantine is for a novice! It is incredible to get used to something that one hasn't been accustomed before. The status quo of everybody changes instantly. I think everyone should stay calm and in spite the fact of the current health situation, you should try to look for something positive in order to keep healthy our mind. It is extremely tough to stay 24/7 at home, but it is the adaptation that people have to do in order to take care of themselves and their loved ones. I know this global situation have overwhelmed everyone, but there is something good behind all the bad things. Maybe there is something that you have always felt like doing. I think that kind of things should be done in this period of time that on the other hand it is kind of an oportunity for accomplishing those little things that have been postponed and that have to be done in order to make you feel that happiness that one day you dreamed of. Stay safe. Thanks for reading and correcting.

Working in team sometime is kind of overwhelming. Sometimes to work in team is kind of overwhelming when everyone is not striving hard just like the other ones who really do. I really love to work in team because I learn from others and that´s awesome. I think I am a good leader, however I never stop learning. I need to improve every day so I cannot hesitate about my decisions. The issue comes when someone do not want to do their duties. It is exhausted when I have to insist them to do their tasks. And at that ponit I realize what kind of people I wanna work with for the next time. But at the end of the day, I know I'll learn something good about those things.

The last six months have been amazing. Hello everyone! It´s been a while since the last time I passed by here. My university life is going pretty incredible. I am in a team which is building a Mars rover for an international competition in the Utah desert in US. We are competing versus other 92 teams from 16 countries. The competition is the University Rover Challenge which is held every summer since 2006. This is really awesome beacause this challenge made us to strive harder at things that we diidn´t do before in our academic lives. We had to learn new things to achieve the tasks. This is a multi-disciplinary team which inlcudes students from many different careers such as informatics, mechanics, electronics, computer, robotics, chemistry, marketing and physics. Currently the soon deadline to submit our next paper (february the 28th) is blowing our minds since we are turning up the heat to be one of the 36 finalists, which will be able to travel to the desert and compete with the best universities in the world! Best wishes!

Fifth semester is finishing. Hello, everyone! I am writing to meditate about life. No worries, I don't feel sad, it is just to reflect. You know, there is always a certain time when one cannot control everything, even if one is supposed to do that or hope do it all the time. Obviously nobody is perfect.. I am not so proud of me this semester, since I didn't do my best at college. I wasted a lot of time this course doing silly things. I felt kind of depressed and very lazy and I didn't know why in time, regrettably. The good thing is when one is able to realize at least some things that sparked that. A piece of advice that I could give you is that do not waste your time with people that do not make you better, do not hang out with people who do not make the most of their time, because remember, you turn into the person you frequent. And I realized that a little late, but I really hope to improve the next semester. Promise myself. Thanks for reading and correcting!

Take the right decision when you are 20 years old and go to college. It is really crazy to be in a dilemma about choosing either to go to a party or to keep studying for a next's day exam at the age of 20's. I am a university student, I am a foreigner living far away from my family and I am commonly surrounded by these kind of temptations. It is really complicated to take the right decision in this kind of situations, because I know that one of them is gonna make feel more comfortable than the other one, but I could regret with respect have not chosen the second one. I know this is the age that we have to enjoy the most because there is an unstoppable transition from adolescence to adulthood that sometimes lasts more than expected. So now I have more responsabilities and I try to be mature when making a decision, so I stop about twenty minutes to think deeply before I take a decision when a friend just called me to hang out with more friends and go to party. Sometimes I make sacrifices about going to a party on a weekend, but I know I will have to stay awake during the next night to finish my duties. Just like that is when I choose to have fun but I am aware I will have to catch up with my duties at any cost, and this implies substract dream hours the next days. I still call this a kind of responsability because I don't stop catching up with the things I must do day to day. Thanks for reading and correcting:).

Almost it's done my duties at college Only a few days to go to start enjoying vacation. I'm finishing the fourth semester and it hasn't been easy at all. I should have been mad to have decided taking nine subjects this semester. I really didn't pay enough attention to each one of them. Anyway, I learned a bunch of things about them. But, I have learned something important of this: do'nt bite off more than you can chew. That´s what I did this semester, but next year I'm pretty sure I won't do the same thing again lol. It was such a busy and tired six months of school. I was supposed to control that situation, but other things happened throughout this period that it was impossible I could catch up with other subjects. On of that things was that I was in a international competition about entrepreneurship, which it´s Hult Prize. My team was the winner in the stage On Campus, but we weren't able to win the next one. In any case, we will continue preparering to next year. This project took me too much time, but I don't regret to have invested time in this because I learned too much and I liked entrepreneurship stuff. Now, I'm have such a great desire for vacation are coming up soon. Thank you for reading and correcting:)!
