A Sabbatical Year!




It is difficult in our society see a sabbatical as natural, we are not used, many think of how disastrous it can be a year between quotation marks and do nothing, or feel anxiety when taken as a waste of time, but others think for example that this year would reflect on what you want as long as they do not try to spend all day lying at home, my hope is the thought that someday I could take a sabbatical.

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to take a year off my life in general has always been full of things and plans that I had to meet throughout the years ... I could never stop doing things to take me a long time doing nothing .... I think I am a very responsible person that prohibits me a bit to drop everything and go out and enjoy life, to say the least...

But I've always thought that taking a year to enjoy is the best thing you can do ... I think a year just to do what you really want to do is the best decision you can make. I think if I had the opportunity to take a year to enjoy the beauty of life, travel the world, would travel across countries, known many cultures ... Live the moment, be happy every minute and think only in the now without worrying about tomorrow....

Enumerated a list just to see all the things I like to do now I do not believe that would list things like:
- I like to watch too much television
- I would sleep much
- I like to travel
- I would like to visit different countries
- I like to read many different books
- I'd like to meet many people
- I'd wake up thinking that only makes what I really want to do...

If I could take a year off would comply with the list of things I would do ... But unfortunately everything you want in life is what you may have ... that is why happiness should think about what you have and daily lives.

Environment




People are so used to open the faucet and the water flow does not ask how I get there and less if we waste this resource, however my family since childhood has made me think about this issue and have made me see that there an important relationship between ourselves and nature.

Because if we think the environment is all around us, trees, vegetation, animals, the physical environment and other people. For pollution problems tend to think of it just as nature, water or air, but it is a much richer concept and includes human beings, how they interact and their values.

I'm thinking and I conclude that there is constant interaction between the environment and me. My way of life is influenced by the natural and cultural environment, while my actions modify the environment. For the same reason I feel better living in a city with clean air rather than polluted or working in a friendly work environment rather than conflicting. That is why I prefer to look after the environment.

I think the only way to protect the environment is known. To do this you can make outdoor family trips. These can be squares, parks and walks close to or more distant places during the holidays. In the house can also be made entertaining activities to promote environmental care, I think everything starts from the parents.
That's why I care for the environment because my parents taught me to do, separating the garbage, gardening, watching the water, not polluted, etc .... This topic is really relevant to the planet, so we must all help the environment!

Working mothers: why having a baby need not mean the end of your career

The work and the children ... a dilemma ... which is why I found this article very interesting .... And that is closely related to the human resources area.
Most mothers prefer, of course, to reduce their horizons and enjoy your baby. However, the high cost of living, could push many middle-income parents to return to work earlier than they might have chosen and, although the revised legislation and changing social attitudes have made it easier to combine career and family, remains a difficult task.

A survey by the parents of the online network Netmums found that employment discrimination at its worst moment was when the woman returned from maternity leave to women who reported having a different treatment. Managers with the best of intentions, can leave out in order to facilitate return to work, coworkers may resent cover for a mother who has to leave early to pick up a sick child, but the perception of women have of themselves can also be the culprit

Some large companies have taken to hiring coaches for advice on motherhood in favor of family commitments and to counsel women returning from maternity leave.

The article closes with a very significant paragraph:

"Mothers may have a very negative view of themselves when they return to work and yet, when they talk about motherhood, which sounds like multitasking power," says Liston Smith. "We really should be looking at maternity leave as a leadership development course that equips women even better for the workplace."

My wild party




Bachelorette party for my best friend!!!


The last party more fun and wild that I went to a bachelorette party for my best friend ... it was incredible a party...

It was an incredible celebration ... remembering the party ... was a party organized just for women, specifically just friends from school, first got together to eat and drink up some drinks ... we talked a lot, we laugh and share the fun things we had lived together for many years of friendship, remember the college, the parties they had been together, we'd had boyfriends, teachers, problems and the good times we shared together ....

Almost midnight we went to a place for bachelorette parties, men dance around ... it was really fun and wild ... the dancing showgirls different things and did many games for the bride and her friends ... for example did the brides dance the stage with them, blindfolded them and danced them ... made them run into chairs with balloons to win prizes ... it was very funny ... we laugh a lot with my friends ....

Then we went back to a quieter place to continue talking and having fun, just us ... the party lasted until the next day ... I went home very tired but happy to have had so much fun with my group of friends from school ... .

What a great party, was definitely the wildest party I've gone, and I hope the girlfriend too, because it was a party organized for her ...

"La Porota"



My favorite book

Usually I like to read a lot, I love reading ... is difficult for me to choose a book because I have many favorite books ....

The book that will choose a book I read when I was in first or second grade, I do not remember ... was a book that I love and thanks to this book I realized how much I enjoyed reading ... I think I read that book about 4 or 5 times as a child ... ahhh but I must say that the first time I read that book was not alone, my mom read a little piece every day at night, until I learned to read ....

Book: "The Porota"
Author: Hernán del Solar

The book talks about .... "Porota" is a very spoiled girl who has a rag doll called "Mimi." One day the doll disappears and she can not find it until you see it in the fireplace. She decides intrigued surprised to find what you Mimi. The doll he calls her to the world of cloth dolls because they have a big problem: there are bats that eat sawdust and are wreaking havoc within the dolls ...

This work, like all of the National Literature Prize 1968, notable for its refreshing, its characters and the values it contains. I think many who have known the story of "The Porota" argue that this work of Hernán del Solar is not only special for its content but also help them remember with joy the magical era of life such as children.

I believe that all children who have read the book Porota fall in love, because it's really wonderful!
