Growing up I heard the dicho, “ donde hay gana hay manana,” millions of times from my grandma and mom. Every time my grandma and mom were in the middle of gossiping, the dicho would pop-up, especially when the subject of their conversation was about a lazy person or a hardworking one.The saying has much wisdom as it explains that where there is desire there is ability. When people have negative thoughts over achieving their goals they have been known to either give up or fail to achieve them, but in reality all that one needs while trying to achieve their goals is desire. If a person really wants something they will try their hardest since in the end it is them who can determine how thirsty they are for their goals.
In order for people to get farther in life and get to the point they want to be, they need to work hard for it because they won’t know if they are able to accomplish their goals unless they really try knowing that nothing comes easy.In the saying, “Donde hay gana, hay manana,” one’s personality is crucial since it is the driving force of oneself. Being determined makes anything possible; therefore, people should do things with a positive attitude to obtain a desired outcome that could help them in present time or the near future.
One’s persona is is the driving force of this dicho. When someone is trying to attain something it all depends on who they are to determine if they will be able to attain their goals. In an article, Angela Lee Duckworth, a psychology
Each and every individual faces obstacles and limitations unique to their own circumstances, and the way that those obstacles are met and overcome ultimately determine the fulfillment and happiness that person is able to acquire. Perhaps one of the most influential but commonly looked over influences on one’s development is the attitude of others, in addition to one’s own attitude. While a kind, strong, responsible, driven attitude can empower one to lead a fulfilling life, the positivity of others is equally as effective. Whether it be despite perseverance and optimism of the individual or in junction with the two, the attitudes of others’ have the ability to influence one’s life in significant ways. The
Tomas Rivera was a Chicano author, educator, and poet who was most known for his 1971 novel ..y no se lo tragó la tierra. Until the age of twenty-two, he worked alongside his parents as migrant workers and his early life inspired him to write this novel. His life ambitions to give Mexican Americans an opportunity for higher education and writing came true by donating to the Chicano Literary movement. Through the fictional book, ...y no se lo tragó la tierra, Tomás Rivera tells the story of Mexican American migrant workers from the 40’s and 50’s. Made up of fourteen short stories and thirteen vignettes, the book contained a story, The Children Couldn’t Wait, that documented a day in the lives of Mexican American children working in the field.
From the essay “ Se Habla Espanol” by Tania Barrientos in the Norton Field Guide to Writings with Readings, I found that the author born in 1960 just like me, also, her family and my family are Hispanics, as a result, she and I face stereotypes fitting into two cultures. However, I want to spend more emphasis on similarities and differences trying to fit under philosophic pressure, and the acquisition of a language circumstances.
The first and last time Miss Coronado crossed the border was in May of 1992. During this time according to her, immigration across the US-Mexican border was not as strict as it is today. Although, they dint have to walk through the more dangerous part of the desert in order to stay hidden, for Patricia the eighty mile walk was all but a breeze.

Many people have different ways to accomplish their goals which depends on their experiences and struggles in life. They can use these experiences and struggles and turn them into wisdom, and they become determined to accomplish these goals no matter what obstacles stand in their way. For example, Ernesto was determined to learn how to be an American, but to never forget that he was truly a Mexican. The “Apollo 13” crew was determined to fix a problem in their spaceship by using their knowledge. In both situations, confidence and determination was needed to face challenges, but with teamwork, they acheived success on these missions.
External forces and one’s ambition can have a major impact on how they act as a person and how that
My personal experience with immigration is that both of my parents come from Mexico, they both immigrated to provide a stable home and better future for my sister and I. This goes back to the perspective of people leaving there homes to provide for their families. In the film Al Otro Lado by Gustavo Loza, the documentary highlights how one individual from each family leaves there home behind to provide for their families and to save money. In the film when Priciliano’s whose family lives in Mexico, his father goes to the “other side”, his father left his wife, his younger brothers, and him behind. This had a big effect in Pricilianos life; he lost interest in school, also in special activities, and almost lost his life for trying to go reunite

With any genre (old or new) that experiences a boost in popularity, there comes a certain lack of originality after a while. Post-CHVRCHES, Future Islands, and Twin Shadow, there aren’t many rising synthpop acts that exhibit similar originality. Thomas Arsenault’s Mas Ysa project is a refreshingly and genuinely unique one, and that’s at the heart of why Seraph, his debut album, is so good - Arsenault takes synthpop’s established aesthetic and turns it on its side, all while injecting intimate emotional power into it. It’s a remarkably unique album to make, but one that seems so simple and personal. Mas Ysa has made one of the year’s better debut records; there certainly won’t be one so assured in its originality.
Every person has his or her own ambitions and desires, but not everyone follows through to pursue them. In order to fulfill one's life one must fulfill one's self. The first part of self-fulfillment is accepting one's self and in order to obtain one's desires, and find success one has to seek it. In reality self-fulfillment doesn't have anything to do with the people that surround one. For this purpose, it has the term ''self'' , the only person who holds one back is the reflection of the person standing in the mirror, yourself. Essentially one poses the power to fulfill themselves.
The psychologists believe that individual’s behaviour is linked with the inner thoughts and self-image. The idea is that due to free will people change often. It is humans’ responsibility on how their well-being and lives carry on. This is because we are capable of striving to achieve the best, self-actualisation desire.
“Por una cabeza” by Carlos Gardel is an iconic and genre defining piece of music. It is the most famous piece of tango music and is a gateway to the world of tango. The summer before my junior year I took a trip to Argentina to visit family. We visited Caminito, the birthplace of tango, and I became fascinated by the dance and the music. I decided that I wanted to choreograph a tango for my dance ensemble back in DC. While I thought that this was going to be simple it was quite the opposite. Tango music is usually quite simple, yet it is often juxtaposed by the intricate moves of the dancers. Every movement has a specific meaning and intonation. If the move is slightly off, then it changes the meaning of the whole phrase. Each move combines
The many determinants of one's attitude and personality surround a person from day one of existence and, therefore, slowly mold the person they will become later. The Power of Place informs the reader of places and regions that produce different aspects of personality. The tranquility of nature helps to reach the inner sanctum of personality as opposed to the monotonous routine of the concrete jungles of the city. Anything and everything that surrounds a person molds their personality to perform certain mannerisms and certain stimuli to the smallest routine activity.
Socrates says “the unexamined life is a life not worth living”. Before one can change and improve as a person they must be aware of their faults as well as their strengths. In this manner the improvement process allows for self-reflection and exploration of one’s own character. This means understanding not only the personality flaws and nuances of your character, but why those flaws and nuances exist in the first place; to uproot a problem you must know where the root exists, and to prevent it from growing further, you must understand what is feeding the root.
