Face your Fears

"Face your fears. That's how you conquer them. Don't dismiss them; face them. Say, 'Here's what I'm afraid of, I wonder what I could do to change that.'"   Jim Rohn.

Los buenos momentos - Good Moments

Los buenos momentos hay que fabricarlos, porque los malos llegan por si solos.

Something from Pablo Neruda

"QUEDA PROHIBIDO NO SONREIR A LOS PROBLEMAS, NO LUCHAR POR LO QUE QUIERES, ABANDONARLO TODO POR MIEDO, NO CONVERTIR EN REALIDAD TUS SUEÑOS".
Pablo Neruda.

9 Secrets to be Happy (In Spanish)

9 Secretos para ser feliz:

EL CUERPO
Mis sentimientos son influenciados por mi postura. Una postura adecuada ... genera una disposición feliz.
Mira hacia arriba y solo podrás reír, pues no conozco a nadie que haya podido llorar en esa postura.

EL MOMENTO
La Felicidad no esta en los años, meses, en las semanas, ni siquiera en los días. Sólo se puede encontrar en los momentos. “Hoy es el mañana de ayer”.  …  Además la vida siempre tiene derecho a sorprendernos, así que aprende a vivir el presente sin ninguno de los traumas del pasado ni las expectativas del futuro. Disfruta de cada momento como si en él se combinaran tu pasado, tu presente y tu futuro.

NUESTRA PROPIA IMAGEN
Debo aprender a amarme a mi mismo como soy.  Creer en ti mismo da resultados. Cuando más te conozcas, mayor será tu ventaja con respecto a los demás. “El camino más difícil es el camino al interior” … pero, al menos una vez en la vida, debemos recorrerlo.

LAS METAS
¿Sabes cuál es la diferencia entre un sueño y una meta?  Una meta es un sueño con una fecha concreta para convertirse en realidad. Un sueño es solo un sueño, algo que esta fuera de la realidad … Así que atrévete a soñar, pero atrévete también a lograr que esos sueños se hagan realidad.

EL HUMOR
La sonrisa es muy importante para mejorar la autoestima. Dicen que una sonrisa cuesta menos que la
electricidad, pero da más luz. … Además, con cada sonrisa siembras una esperanza.

EL PERDÓN
Mientras tengas resentimientos y odios, será imposible ser feliz. Lo maravilloso del perdón no es que
libera al otro de su eventual culpa, sino que te libera a ti de un sufrimiento.

D A R
Uno de los verdaderos secretos para ser feliz es aprender a dar, sin esperar nada a cambio. Las leyes de la energía te devolverán con creces lo que des. Si das indiferencia, recibirás indiferencia, pero si das amor, recibirás invariablemente amor. Sólo el que aprende a dar esta en camino de descubrir la verdadera felicidad.

LAS RELACIONES
La sinergia es unir fuerzas y caminar juntos para conseguir cosas. Siempre que dos o más personas se unen
en un espíritu de colaboración y respeto, la sinergia se manifiesta en forma natural. Entiende a las personas que te rodean, quiere a tus amigos como son, sin intentar cambiarlos, porque cuando te sientas mal, el verdadero amigo estará allí para apoyarte y brindarte todo su amor. ¡¡Así que cultiva tus amistades, ellas son gratis!! … La amistad, al igual que la mayoría de los sentimientos, debe fluir de manera natural; por ello la verdadera amistad no puede basarse en condiciones.

FE
La Fe crea confianza, nos da paz mental y libera al alma de sus dudas, de las preocupaciones, de la ansiedad y del miedo. Pero no te asustes cuando dudes, pues bien decía Miguel de Unamuno:
“Fe que no duda es fe muerta". Convicción es la verdadera fe, tanto en lo divino como en lo humano.
Dicen que el hombre llega a ser sabio cuando aprende a reírse de si mismo.

Howard Hughes Short Biography

Huge businessman, inventor, mathematician, top aerospace and aeronautical engineer, film producer, film director, playboy, and aviator among other things;  he was born Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. on December 24, 1905, in Houston, Texas. While he is largely known for being one of the wealthiest men and one of the most famous recluses, Hughes had many professional accomplishments before withdrawing from public life. He inherited his family's successful oil tool business and began investing in films. He produced several films, including the hit Hell's Angels.  Son of a successful oil drill tool manufacturer, he inherited the family business in 1923 at the age of 18. He used some of his fortune to finance films, beginning in 1926. He produced several movies, including the World War I epic Hell's Angels (1930), which featured expensive aerial fight sequences and a then-unknown actress named Jean Harlow. Some of his other significant films were Scarface (1932) and The Outlaw (1941). During his days in Hollywood, Hughes developed a reputation for being a playboy, dating such actresses as Katherine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and Ginger Rogers.

Hughes developed a passion for flying and founded his own aircraft company in the early 1930s. Besides designing and building planes, he risked his own life several times testing planes and setting new world air speed records in the mid- to late 1930s. While he is credited with many aviation innovations, such as the first retractable landing gear, he is also remembered for one of his biggest flops—the Spruce Goose. Hughes labored on this oversized wooden sea-plane for years, finishing it in 1947. It was only flown once.

After a terrible plane crash in 1946, Hughes began to retreat from the world. He bought part of RKO Pictures in 1948, but he never visited the studio. In the 1960s, he lived on the top floor of the Desert Inn in Las Vegas, Nevada, and conducted all of his business from his hotel suite. Few people ever saw him, which led to much public speculation and rumors about his activities. It was thought that he suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder and had a drug problem. Hughes eventually left Las Vegas and began living abroad. In 1971 an allegedly authorized biography of famed recluse was announced, but it turned out to be a scam. The authors were later imprisoned for fraud.

Hughes died on April 5, 1976 of kidney failure due to the intake of strong pain killers during a long period of time.  After his death, numerous fake versions of his will surfaced, leading to a battle over his fortune. In 2004, Hughes' life returned to the spotlight with the feature film The Aviator, which depicted his early days. Leonardo DiCaprio played the billionaire as a dashing, troubled young man. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Hughes.
