Alzheimer

(Week 9)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among older people. Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities.

In AD, over time, symptoms get worse. People may not recognize family members. They may have trouble speaking, reading or writing. They may forget how to brush their teeth or comb their hair. Later on, they may become anxious or aggressive, or wander away from home. Eventually, they need total care. This can cause great stress for family members who must care for them.

Well, my father's mother had Alzheimer for almost 5 years, at the begining she was relatively normal, she only started to forget things that didn't be important or normal like: put salt in the soup, or mop the floor so she did the things agains.

Then she was forgeting the date and she always think in a special period of time; when she visited the doctor, and the doctor said us "She is located in a date that marked her and can't get out of there". So it was she started to forgat all information about the present and only remembered information near to the past.


Almost 2 years ago she started to ger worts because she confused and forgot her family also she always walked around the house all day, but she wasn't aware of it for that reason she almost didn't eat and started tho loss the strength and weight.


The last year she couldn't move or talk, she kept all day in the bed and my uncles gave the food, and the food usually was vitamin powder to help her body to resist. But in september 20 died.

This disease isn't only dangerous for the person who has it, also is dangerous to the family because see and live the process that relative doesn't reconigze him.

Reasons

(Week 8)

"The evil gets illusory gains; who sows justices ensure the gains " 

-Proverbs

I think independently in that we believe we need to do the things right, tha is more for us to be well with ourselves.



*Principles and Values:
It is important clear out the differences between the principles and values.

Our principles are the "fuel" that feed our "engine" and this impels us to do what is right. The values are the practice of our principles.

Now we can differentiate them we can think the principles it is good for entrepreneurship; for example:

*Efficiency: Gets goals in the least time. 

*Effectiveness: The ability to get tha we propose, the most important characteristics is work with efficiency.

*Productivity: Group the above and futhermore link up the time and the money.

*SYNERGY:

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.  For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him--a threefold cord is not quickly broken.  -Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12

A2 Reading: Shopping

(Week 7)

- What was the easiest?
   
I think the the easiests were the questions that the answer was explicit in the reading. For example the first, these one talk about the best place in the mall to buy an expensive necklace and if we read in the thrid paragaph talk about  fashion boutiques, jewellers, antiques and furniture; so I found the answer faster.


- What was the most difficult?

Maybe the question that i didn't know the vocabulary, for example the last one; also the question that talk abour where we can buy some shampoo?, because in the text he doesn't speak deeply about that.

First know more vocabulary about the topic, and practice a scanning reading.

We are a glass...

(week 6)

Today I went a meeting about a  leaders in financial reprogramming, the host spoke about our acttitude in front a bussines, the investment and the managment of our life, this is so important because he said "We are a glass so if we had a negative acttitude We would be break us". futhermore he explained us We are hence we are fragile so when only think and talk negatively, and this begins to open small gaps in us, so any blessing that comes to us, it will come through our holes and in the end we will not be filled with anything good, then we will be empty.




One the things that help us to control the negative emotions,if you really truts and want change your mind you can use that natural stones.


For example now I am in stage that I am trying to heal all those holes that I have made. So I started to look about the quartz and the mysterious energetic properties; well it is important know the meaning of quartz. A quartz is a crystal of really hard texture, formed by oxygen and silica. The quartz that are also known as rock crystal when they are in their pure state, can be transparent, white and different beautiful colors. After of that I want to have two of this mystical stones.


The amethyst represents peace, tranquility, serenity. In the disturbing moments. I select this beacuase whe the dificults moments is where we drill our glass, so this quartz helps us to control ourselves in those moments.

The benefits are recovery, meditation and get better the family harmony






The white quartz The white quartz crystal is a stone of the most powerful among the family of quartz for its multiple properties could be innumerable benefits. For example:

* It will bring you luck
* It will protect you from negative energies
* It will give your mind serenity
* It will surround you with positivism

For these reason I tougth this quarts is one of the most important if a want to fix all of spaces in my glass that they allow let the blessings come out.
