Entry nº 14

Are you conformist?
Imagine this situation; you are in a very long queue waiting for paying a bill. You are hurried but there are o lot of people before you and when it is finally your turn, someone who was behind you takes advantage that you are distracted to place before you. What would you do?
a) You think that you´ve been waiting for so long that one more makes no difference and stay quiet.
b) You ask him/her very politely if he/she would be so nice to come back to his place.
c)You get very angry and start shouting him/her that what he/she has done is totally unacceptable forcing him/her to go back to his/her place.
If you choose option a i would say that you´re the typical passive and conformist person who preffer to avoid the "hard" work of facing any type of problem and simply accept any situation. Option b can be considered a good one but you don´t have to be too much polite because this shows weakness and and people may take advantage of that. And option c is definitely not the right way to claim for something whether you are right or not. So, what shall we do?
I think that to be a non-conformist person and trying to make things change is a matter of practice. Being non-conformist sometimes means to swim against the tide and brake relations with your superiors. But if what you claim is right , you have high possibilities to succeed. The same happens with businesses, a conformist person has almost no chances to become rich.
Have always clear in your mind which is the dream( a possible one ) that you want to reach and work on it. Don´t accept unfair situations if you have the possibility to change it and most important, be yourself and do what you really want to do without causing harm to others. These are some good steps to follow if you want to succed in life. And remember that it doesn´t mean that you´ll become a heroe but......who knows?

Letter to a friend

Dear Luisa,

I´m very happy for your letter. You hadn´t written to me for so long!

I´ve been thinking about your question and what i can say is that you have to make up your mind and decide which of both carees you´re studying likes you most. All you have to do is to relax and you´ll see that you´ll find the answer. Both careers History and Theatre are very differnt from each other and there must be one that attracts you more. Besides it doesn´t mean that you´ll never study the other one again, you can finish the one you choose and then continue with the other one. I really can´t undrestand how did you managed to study two careers at the same time and get such good marks in both. You did it for three years and it is understandable that you´re tired and need to abandon one ship. You put your body and brain under a lot of stress and you neeed to relax now before it affects your health.

In what respects to me, i have enough with the career i chose which consumes me a lot of time and effort.

I hope mi piece of advice will be useful for you and i wish you good luck in whatever you decide .

love,
