STEVE JOBBS said.............

"When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again"

(Steve Jobbs)

HOW CAN WE SET UP OUR BUSINESS ON LINE? - WORKSHOP

HOW CAN WE SET UP OUR BUSINESS ON LINE??

That was the workshop this morning for the older students of High training course in Administration.

The lecture was given by an expert from IAF: Isaac Bailo

The students realized that it is not as easy as they thought but if you have a brilliant idea it could be a possibility in the non-distant future.

They had some missunderstandings like thinking that PAY PAL is a save method to pay your purchases. No, it can be dangerous. Better to pay with your VISA card.  Or thinking that it is very cheap to start... No, there are lots of things to prepare and it takes abouty 6 months to organise and pay for all you need.

The students enjoy a lot as it was a very dinamic workshop and these are some photos:

Another interesting workshop will take place in February in order to learn effective methods of presenting your business.

WILD POEMS ( TRANSLATED FROM J.R.Jimenez)

POEMAS AGRESTES  (1910-11)

BY Juan Ramón Jimenez

(Translated by M.H.)

… And I will go, and birds will rest singing

And my orchard will remain,

with its green trees and its white pit.

Alll afternoons, the sky is blue and calm

And they will ring, as they are doing  today

Yes, the bells of the bellfry.

They will die, the ones who love me

And the village will renew every year

And in that corner of my flowery White orchard

My soul will wander ……….nostalgic.

…………And I will go, and I will be alone,

No home, no green tree, no white pit

No blue and calm sky

                        And the birds will remain singing…………….

FALLING IN LOVE / STAYING IN LOVE

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH ANYONE JUST BY ASKING THEM 36 QUESTIONS?

 Mandy Len Catron tried this experiment, it worked, and she wrote a viral article about it. But is that real love? Did it last? And what’s the difference between falling in love and staying in love? Experts say that the passion of love lasts no more than one or two years... then, it develops in a different feeling.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS HERE..........(by Marina García)

CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAPPENING. HERE´S HOW WE ADAPT

Imagine the hottest day you've ever experienced. Now imagine it's six, 10 or 12 degrees hotter. According to climate researcher Alice Bows-Larkin, that's the type of future in store for us if we don't significantly cut our greenhouse gas emissions now. She suggests that it's time we do things differently—a whole system change, in fact—and seriously consider trading economic growth for climate stability.

YOU CAN GROW NEW BRAIN CELLS....!! ( Mónica Enciu)

Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret says that we can, and she offers research and practical advice on how we can help our brains better perform neurogenesis—improving mood, increasing memory formation and preventing the decline associated with aging along the way.      

Now Robert is not a neuroscientist, and when he went to medical school he was not taught what we know now -- that the adult brain can generate new nerve cells.

HE has estimated that we produce 700 new neurons per day in the hippocampus. You might think this is not much, compared to the billions of neurons we have. But by the time we turn 50, we will have all exchanged the neurons we were born with in that structure with adult-born neurons. And what we've known already for very long, is that this is important for learning, memory, mood and emotion.
