At the ending of a year I always check the purposes that I was committed to do. One person once told me that writing purposes for the year is useless cause most of the times they're rarely achieved . I believe purposes help to define the path we need to follow to find what we are looking for; perhaps happiness, an achievement, a behavior change or a new direction of life.
My proposition is the you write them down at the end of the year and keep track of the completion of them quarterly, I suggest as well to let aims guide your weekly goals and actions; I usually use Sunday to plan my week, this day I take advantage of the time and check my year purposes in order to remember and let them remember where I want to be.
At the end of this year I hope to be happier, find great people to share with them dreams, businesses, projects, ways of think, and contribute more to the city and my country. I'm really worry about the situation in Mexico; about the differences in opportunities that prevail along the county, to know that very rich people is guiding the public policies of the country, that drugs and security is threatening society because of these wealth differences.
I'm convince that we have what we are; the government we elected reflect the social situation.
I'm really glad to come back to the writing and I would be very pleased to read comments of you and to meet people through this forum where I usually share what I am and what I believe in. Hope you a great year!

Inspired
I hope not making that much mistakes while writing this post. I have some months that left this blog forgotten but I've always wanted to keep this thing updated. I say I could make mistakes writing in English cause I also have months without writing or even talking in English; the only thing I do with this language almost every day is reading.
Since last post which was on April, 18th thinks with life have changed; May, Jun, July, August, September and October by the end, almost 6 months... shit... well along these 6 months some things are quite the same; doing a so-called master degree about information systems management, working as a software developer 6 hours a day, working with the firm I'd like to consolidate, and new on this list I have 2 volunteering responsibilities within a urban cycling association and as volunteer on a PMI community with is working to become a chapter.
The 2 new task are really destroying the little free time I used to have but for me those are really important for my personal goals and professional aims.
The first organization is called Ciclos Urbanos AC or translated Urban Cyclers (http://www.facebook.com/ciclos.urbanos). This organization is working to make Culiacan (where I live) a friendly, sustainable and respectful city. With Ciclos Urbanos I've met people who is very interesting, most of them are younger than me but they're really worried about the problems we have. The way they promote a better place to live is using the bicycle cause they argue that motor-based-transportation have stolen streets which should be a place belonging to everybody.
The second organization is a Project Management Institute Community belonging to Mexico Chapter. This group have been working on the promotion of project management best practices aligned to the studies and resources of the PMI. Here I've helped with the development of the business plan and I've support the group with operations stuff... I'm with this group cause I'm convinced that I can find business partners or people who can work with similar projects than those that I'm working with.
Yeah... many things but as I maybe said before, the only think I want is will, motivation and enthusiasm to work on stuff that I like.
Hope you make contact with me, I'm always glad of receiving news from friends.

Interesting First 3 Months
Since my last blog post it's been 3 months which have been quite different as I they used to be. I continue with my current job as a information systems programmer, my consulting venture, master and frontenis playing. MTB (mountain biking), PMI community and urban cycling volunteer are new on this list. Guess what, now I have less free time than before but I enjoy everything... Less free time means no TV, fewer movies and reading.
Tomorrow I begin with the 3rd. period of the studies I confess that being a student with these many activities make me feel quite stress or better said under high pressure, nevertheless I love learning new things or reaffirming knowledge that I learned during bachelor or job experiences.
Another good thing that I did during theses months is the trip to Flagstaff, Arizona; a place to the north of Phoenix where they have a ski resort :D. The on way journey was 17-hour-long, we spent 3 days there; first day (the day of my birthday) we came to the Grand Canyon, it was impressive! we were hiking down the canyon but only one hour down and one hour up, at the end every of us were really tired; the 2nd and 3rd day was designed for skiing!! hell yeah!!! Arizonas Snowbowl was the place... these 2 days were great!!

Everything for the Future
The evening is almost ending and I was in the way to get ready to sleep when I remembered I wanted to write something as the first post of 2010...
How many of the proposals, goals, objectives, aims, dreams or whatever I promised myself to make real/true I worked for during last year?, perhaps urgent stuff is more important than important stuff.
By the end of year 2009 and the beginning of 2010 I've been reflecting about the many many things I have to do, but! how these "things" are part of the mission Someone have for me?
Well this third week of the year is just the beginning of a long race against many emotions that mainly control the behavior myself.
But wait I just wanna say something else about the roots of people's behavior. Is your own mission the motivation for your behavior? or is the communication media the source or your behavior?
Finally let's work for your own emotions control, that's a good investment.
Good will for all you 2010's goals!

None Title Post!
Today I just finished my first week being a master student, week of finding the way to overcome the excess of homework, work and new projects.
First, master is quite interesting, it is full of knowledge ready to be exploted, knowledge that create business oportunities. I'm very excited about this master, I know is quite long (2 years and a half long) but I bet it worths it.
Second, everyday I confirm that I'm a philosopher not as a philosopher by career but as person that loves to question every thing and enjoys finding answears or more questions.
Third, some week ago I've realized, what I need is a business partner to complement some skills we (current partners) lack. Every month I see and feel the potential that my business concept has and the benefit it could bring to mexican growing SMO and therefore to the county.
My every-sunday-challenge is how to organize my week to accomplish my week goals.
"Challenge your week and you won't be bored!".

Will Manifest
I'm pretty happy to come back to the writing... writings about my thoughts, ideals, inspiration, life, work, projects, love and so much stuff that need to be expressed.
This time I would like to say, or better said, write about will... :D
Saying something about will is most of the times a cliché but it's a value which needs to be worked evey day and be present in your every day actions. When we start to do something important in your life you often begin with a dream that comes to you from a sleeping night, something impressive that you see, a reaction to something good or bad and other times you start doing something as a mandate, perhaps those actions where motivation come from yourself are those which are most difficult to accomplish... but why? .... because will is absent.
Will is the value that should dominate life of outstanding women and men, I say women and men cause will is not completely rooted during childhood. Perhaps thinking in the overman (übermensch) as the prototype of will is excessive but we should think that Nietzsche's crazyness should be present in people to be outstanding.
I could say I work eveyday to dominate my will and keep doing what my dreams want.

Tuff Week
Feeling better is better :D... Have you ever heard that after a night of party and liters of alcohol your body start to segregate a substance which I think is called serotonin and may cause depression.
I reflect and I realize that I always post on Sunday which is a good day for hangover so maybe I should think of stop drinking or change the posting day... mmm well maybe less booze on Saturday and post on Sunday; it's a better mix :).
I'd like to write about that week that just finished. It was a very stressful but productive week. First as you maybe know I have more than 3 months that I've been play fronttennis which is game similar to squash and tennis of course but I think it's was invented in Mexico. Some friends and me are use to play in the park of the city we've gotten some playing friend who are cool to play with. We play on Mondays and Thursdays and I'm always looking forward to start playing... I mean I used to play tennis before but because of job I stop playing but frontennis has been a very good replace cause I really have fun.
I also start a Adobe Flex course on Monday, its trainning from my job, I mean, we maybe start using this platform to develop the applicacions. It is going to be a 3-week-course and I'm really enjoying learning this.
I just finished I consulting proyect for a new coffee shop called 'minutos coffee'... yeah the name is a mix of spanish-english but the meaning if pretty straightforward, guess it :P. The project was small and I didn't get much money but we finished it quickly and the customer was very happy. I've been also working in an other project proposal which is bigger and much more challenging... I haven't finish the proposal yet but I really would like to close the sale of this project.
As you can seen I had a very full week by the end of the week I was really exahusted, I went out on Friday and Saturday afternoon but Saturday evening I felt asleep... let's see what's comming this this week :)
Read me soon!
