Mucho hablar y poco decir juntos suelen ir. (Empty vessels make the most noise.) You don't need to talk too much for other people to hear you. Why? Because it always applies that action speaks louder than voice. Sometimes, those people who talks too much don't actually really say anything. Because there is no important in what they are saying. You must bear in mind to just speak of only useful words and avoid being loud on saying words that can only do harm. 3. No es tan bravo el león como lo pintan. (The lion is not as fierce as it is made out to be.) You need to prevent judgment and take time to know the person first before leading into conclusion about his real personality. Because a person is not as bad as one may think. We may differ in look and characteristics, but we all have kindness that is buried in our heart. 4. Todo tiene solución, menos la muerte. (Nothing is certain but death and taxes.) If you are having a difficult time today, just relax and find a solution for it. Because every problem has a solution except death.

It will not also affect how people or society will know you. But it is a good start to mold your persona. If you want people to look at you as a modest person with a virtue of modesty, wearing modest clothes is a good start. Make a habit on doing things that will define you of who you are. 7. Cada uno sabe dónde le aprieta el zapato. (Each person knows where his shoe hurts.) If you are hurt and in the middle of too much pain, it is only you who can feel it. And it is only you who can address it properly. Nobody knows your limit, it is only you who knows your vulnerabilities, so you have to have faith with yourself and believe that you can do something about it, alone. 8. El hambre agudiza el ingenio. (Hunger sharpens the wit.) Your hunger for knowledge will lead you to more learnings. People leads to inventions because of the necessities of life. And this will lead you to the best that you can have. Peace of mind is really essential in living live to the fullest. In everything you do, you must keep in mind that what you need is to be truly happy without hurting other people. May these proverbs help you live your life
Home is a term that is used throughout the world as the place where one lives. Is this really what home means? In looking deeper at what the word really means, many interpretations become apparent. Another word that sometimes is confused with home is the word house. A house is the actual building where a person lives, whereas a home is more personal. The dictionary defines the word home as the place in which one's domestic affections are centered (Scott, Foresman Advanced Dictionary p.528). A house is made of mud and bricks but a home is made from love. A home is made of love, sorrow, laughter, excitement, hope, care, atmosphere and feelings of everyone. A home reflects your personality. When a guest enters in the house, he/she comes to know what sort of person you are. A home is a place to rest. There's no place except home which seems like heaven to us.

Clemencia sees her father not as a showoff, but just as his "calidad." Quality” (Cisneros 129). Clemencia's father was not born in the US, so her own father views US Mexicans to be not on par with the Mexicans who originate from Mexico. In her father’s opinion, Mexican girls who “didn't know enough to set a separate plate for each course at dinner, nor how to fold cloth napkins, nor how to set the silverware” (Cisneros 127) are ridiculous.... ...

My home is my haven and the place that I feel the safest and most comfortable at. It is where many good memories and feelings arise and I am able to be myself with no false pretenses. It is my “Home Sweet Home” yet the stories “Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and “Soldier’s Home,” by Ernest Hemingway show a different attitude about home going and the effects it has on the main characters.
The article “Women Talk Too Much” by Janet Homes is about whether or not women talk more than men; Holmes argued that males talk more than females in general, but the debate will continue in this topic for a long time. Holmes starts by asking the question “do women talk more that men?” the author shared sayings from different cultures about women talking too much, after that she go into her discussion. The purpose of the article was clearly to convince the reader that the title is 100% wrong. Homes uses statistics, researches and seminars to support her claim. The article was persuasive as she did a great job in presenting it very well, as she stated her claims early in the article.
“The unexamined life is not worth living” and “Life is about the journey, not the destination.” I relate to both of this quotes because we all have purpose in our life. We plan out life to be certain way. I plan week in advance so I know what is going to happen this week, what is in plate that I have to take care of it before the time. You need to be control on your life not others. Some people just float though life. They think of their present but they don’t think for their future. They just do the stuff right now and later they will worry about other stuff. They are never ready for future outcome. Only you know how you want to live your life, it’s up to you how you want live it. As I say I plan week ahead for my classes, my work and my family. But it doesn’t always go as it planned. In life you always have to be ready to face some problem. If you live through the problems that is call living life. My dad always tells me that, if you accept the challenge, or face some bad time with smile on face, you will always come out of there and then even the big problems comes you will be ready for it. Don’t ever get nervous for the small problems. Life is made of good time and bad
In the book Drink Cultura by Jose Antonio Burciaga talks about how it is not easy to get into one place and get anything you want in this world or something you wish for, but it’s something you have to work for, like any other person. It also explains how it is being an immigrant, and how it is to grow up in the United States as in immigrant and how had it is, and the obstacles that as in immigrant we have to overcome. Antonio Burciaga specifically talks in his book the Chicano history, the language that we speak as a person, the family values and how we as a Chicano stick together. One quote of Burciaga is “Naces pendejo, mueres pendejo --- You were born a pendejo and you will die a pendejo (Burciaga10)”. This particular quote caught my attention because the author gives you a taste of what he experienced, and what kind of language they used. “When the wells of emotion are filled only by resentment, a crying sense of injustice, racist, affronts, deliberately designed frustrations to personal development and social worthiness (Burciaga131)”. This quote talks about how we as Chicanos have the motivation by bringing in our passion from the past, but as soon as someone brings that wall down of us having that one positive outcome, we can go into a lot of resentment towards other people, and think to ourselves at some point that we are worthiness. In chapter “The Motherland” the author talks about the pride people take about being Latinos, he talks about being back in Mexico and how it’s all so different once you’ve lived on the other side, a quote that gives you a mental picture would be “Many white Euro-Mexican will shrug their shoulders, declare they are 100 percent Mexican do not partition or categorize their ancestry. On the contr...
Our knowledge is a key to our success and happiness in our life to give us personal satisfaction. Knowledge is power but not always. Sometimes our self-awareness and growth as an individual gives us negative thoughts that make us want to go back to undo it. Everyone wants to unlearn a part in our life that brought us pain and problems. Good or bad experiences brought by true wisdom can be used for our self-acceptance, self-fulfillment and these experiences would make us stronger as we walk to the road of our so called “life”, but Douglas’s and my experience about knowledge confirmed his belief that “Knowledge is a curse”. Both of us felt frustrated and sad from learning knowledge.

For us to understand the importance of knowledge, we first have to understand what knowledge is. Knowledge can be given to us by experience with something new or it can be acquired through experience. There is always a purpose for acquiring the information. There is a saying that “knowledge is power.” If you think practically, then knowledge is definitely giving you power to dictate your direction in life.
So to say, knowledge can either make or break a person. It can act as a benefit, for power, or loss, for ignorance. “Do not take for granted what you know. Ask yourself how you know what you know; ask yourself whom it benefits, whom it hurts and why.” (Blackboard: Knowledge is Power)
Home is a term that is used throughout the world as the place where one lives.
“Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends (Robot check).” A place becomes a home for me when I am around all the things that I enjoy and love. For example, when I am around everyone that I love, I enjoy a peaceful environment and the beautiful landscapes around me. The interpretation of home for me is not a physical thing that I see or that I can remember or even certain thoughts that I can relate, but it is a sensation that overcomes me when I envision being in the comfort of my own home. However, I know that this is a feeling that is calming to my soul and it quietly reassures me that I genuinely belong in a place where I can be free from people constantly judging me.
...also makes me influential. So having a greater knowledge will help me tackle problems and overcome challenges..
