Studying another language I have a dream. I have always wanted to handle the English language perfectly. In fact, when I finished high school, I started studying English at some institutes, but I never got satisfactory results. I do not know what the reasons were exactly. I have tried many methods of study, first the most classical ones; to study in a classroom with a teacher and classmates. I think it's a very boring and less effective system. I also studied with a private teacher, I was able to advance a lot, but finally I felt less motivated. I tried to study through e-learning. I think it's the worst method. Maybe my expectations are very high, so I will never be satisfied. If someone can tell me about their experience studying another language, it would be very useful for me. Thank you.

The stones on the road Life is a like a long road where have to face obstacles often. These obstacles or problems are like stones in our road. These stones prevent fast progress in our walk, and our task is to separate them to side, or simply ignore them and to continue walking. Some stones are bigger than others, the larger ones are heavier and, in general, are impossible to ignore. Sometimes we see them bigger than they really are, in this case the mind cheat us. The stones have different names; Debts, serious diseases, problems with our children, alcohol, give up smoking, etc. Incredibly, sometimes, when the road is cleared, ourselves put stones on our road. and for example, change the car becomes in a problem, to have the most modern mobile phone, can be a problem too, to desire a power position. In this case, our ambition the cheat us. Finally, in my opinion, the most important lesson, is to accept the stones on the road, face them, and learn from them, since probably they will turn us in persons wiser.

An important achievement in life. Next Wednesday, my oldest son must take his final exam to get an engineer degree. He is nervous, but he knows that this is the starting point in his professional career. He wants to work in the finance area, he likes numbers, he would also love to travel abroad to perfect his English. I remember that when he was a kid, he loved playing football. He dreamed of being a famous football player, but later, when he was a teenager, he thought it was better to be an engineer and changed his dreams. Now he likes to play soccer with his friends, just to enjoy. Next Wednesday, maybe it's the most important game He've played so far, and I'm sure it will achieve it.

Political system in Chile Chile has been an independent republic since 1818. Eight years earlier, on September 18, the first government union was created, loyal to King Charles V, imprisoned by Napoleon Bonaparte. This was the starting point to obtain independence in February of eighteen hundred and eighteen. Chile is a democratic republic. every four years there are presidential elections, where nine million voters vote. A candidate with more than fifty percent of the votes is elected as president of the republic. In Chile, the vote is voluntary and in the last elections, sixty percent of the electorate voted. The system of government is presidential, called executive power. The executive branch administers all the resources of the state and prepares the lows projects to send to Congress. The congress is constituted, for two chambers. One of them is the Chamber of Deputies, and the other is the Senate. The Congress discusses the lows projects and confirm, rejects or modifies.

Traveling to "Escondida" mining For many years I visited the BHP Billiton mining site, located in the north of Chile, specifically near the city of Antofagasta. To arrive quickly from Santiago, it is necessary to travel by plane. A flight takes approximately one hour and forty-five minutes to get to the "Cerro Moreno" airport. The airport is located on a cliff next to the sea, so the landing is always a beautiful sight. The trip is generally calm, without turbulence. Next to the airport, on the sea, there is a naural monument called "la portada". "la portada" is a large rock with a large hole in the center. If you go to Antofagasta, it is inevitable to take a picture in this place. The city in general is cloudy in the morning and in the clear afternoon, it has no natural beaches, only an artificial beach. It has a large promenade, where there are many restaurants, entertainment places and hotels with an ocean view. To get to the "Escondida" mining, you must take the road called "la negra". This road is almost at the end of the city. From the city to the mining, there are one hundred and seventy-five kilometers. When entering the road, it is necessary to be authorized. The speed of the vehicles is controlled, and it is a serious error outside the speed limits. The landscape is beautiful, in fact you are in the Atacama desert ... the driest desert in the world. There is a clear blue sky, Around there, only desolate hills of brown color. When you travel on the road and look around, and concentrate, you can feel that you are really on Mars. In the middle of the trip it is necessary to take a rest. The car stops at a special place where the driver and passengers can go to the bathroom or simply get out of the car. When you are in these places you can feel the wind in your whole body. If you are in this place at night. It is possible to clearly see the via lactea, and a sky full of stars. Little by little a headache is felt, because there is less oxygen in high geographical locations. When you arrive at the mining site you are to three thousand two hundred meters high, and at some point it is necessary to serve people who can not stand the lack of oxygen. To enter the site, people must show the guards, their identification cards and show their suitcases, and the guards verify if the people are authorized. Soon I will write the second part of this short story.

Hard time to recruit Recruiting employees is always difficult, especially at times when the economy offers good conditions to obtain better jobs. This phenomenon is usually the biggest problem for companies that work with many workers, which are the most important factor in the production chain. Well, in my last job I was a human resources manager in a cleaning services company, where I had about four thousand workers. Most of them were women, because in this type of industry, predominantly women work. On summer, recruitment is more difficult, because many of them like to travel with their families away from Santiago. They like to go to the beach, or visit their family in the countryside, leaving their jobs. When workers have to think in two alternatives; work on summer or going out to enjoy, it is not uncommon for them to prefer to enjoy themselves with their families. In the first summer of my last job, many workers left their jobs and we had many problems related to the quality of the service. There were many complaints from our clients because we did not have enough workers in the different places of work. It was a really hard summer. In my second summer at the company, this problem was different, because I made important decisions to solve this problem. First I made a vacation plan taking into account the diagram of the Gantt system.

The incorrect file Many years ago, I worked in a catering company as a human resources manager. One night, I remember, I was working late in my office, I was very tired. I had to send an important email explaining a new process related to payroll. When I finished writing the email, I attached an incorrect file instead of the correct one, the incorrect file contained information about company-wide salaries. Immediately I saw my mistake and I said to myself: "this is a difficult problem". I went running to the IT department. They always had a support employee working all night, and I told him if it was possible to delete the email, because he had confidential information, and he said: "I'll see if someone opened the email, in this case it will be difficult to eliminate " Then, he checked the email and saw that nobody had opened it, and then made a process to remove it and solve the problem.
