Desde los estudios de Carl Ranson Rogers en los años 40 y de Daniel Goleman en 1996, la noción de inteligencia emocional y la idea de que expresar, conocer y encauzar adecuadamente las emociones es necesario y beneficioso, están plenamente aceptadas. Goleman afirma:

La investigación científica ha demostrado que la autoconciencia, la confianza en uno mismo, la empatía y la gestión más adecuada de las emociones e impulsos perturbadores no sólo mejoran la conducta del niño, sino que también inciden muy positivamente en su rendimiento académico.

"In the United States,they speak the same language as their ye old predecessors in Great Britain, but they don't always speak it the same way. So, the people from BIGSTOCK  asked their oh-so British receptionist, Ryan Lovett, to give them a crash course in some of the more notable discrepancies.

Here are 20 words that have pretty different meanings in Great Britain than they do in the U.S. Made with royalty-free images from Bigstock.

Science inspires music more often than you might think. Philip Ball compiled a playlist of the good, the bad and the far-out. n February 1930, a young astronomer called Clyde Tombaugh confirmed what some researchers had suspected for some time: the solar system was home to a ninth planet, orbiting far beyond Neptune. The discovery was met with an enthusiastic reception, as people the world over began offering up names for the new rock. Eventually, Pluto – the suggestion of an 11-year-old girl from the UK – won out.

This group should have written Star Wars — Which band was Mark Bolan praising?

But one man might have been forgiven for not welcoming the discovery. Between 1914 and 1916, Gustav Holst wrote his famous Planets suite. He lived until 1934 – but evidently he lacked the energy to bring his composition up to date in his final years. In fact, it wasn’t until 2000 that The Planets gained an additional piece.
British composer Colin Matthews was asked by the Halle Orchestra to write an addendum for the planet Pluto. The new piece was well received – but barely six years after it was premiered, the International Astronomical Union elected to demote Pluto from its planetary status, making Matthews’ work redundant.
The tale of Holst and Matthews might be seen as a warning for any artist or musician tempted to explore science through their work. Discoveries are continually shifting our knowledge of the world. Plenty of musicians have sought to capture scientific ideas and themes in their works, from Kate Bush to glam rockers. So, how successful have they been?

I am the Sun. I'm a burning ball of fire. I'm very big indeed.
Life on earth depends on me. I am the Sun.

I am Mercury. I'm the closest planet to the Sun.
I'm a ball of iron -- I have no moons. I am Mercury.

I am Venus. I'm the same size as the Earth but I spin the other way and much more slowly.
I have no water -- I am Venus.

I am the Earth. The place where we all live. There is land and lots of sea so I look blue.
I have a moon. I am the Earth.

I am Mars. I'm a rocky, red planet. My mountains are the highest in our solar system.
I have 2 moons. I am Mars.

I am Jupiter. I'm a gas giant. I'm the biggest and I spin the fastest. I have the biggest moon. I am Jupiter.

I am Saturn. I'm a gas giant. My rings are made of ice. Titan is my biggest moon. I am Saturn.

I am Uranus. I'm an icy gas giant. I'm the coldest planet in our solar system. And I have rings made of dust. I am Uranus.

I am Neptune. I'm an icy gas giant. I'm the farthest planet from the sun. I have many storms. I am Neptune.

We are The Solar System.

EMMA WATSON's HE FOR SHE UN SPEECH

Watch  videovideo subtitled in Spanish and read VANITY FAIR ARTICLE

Earlier this summer, fresh from college graduation, Emma Watson, was named a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. 

The actress gave an impassioned speech on feminism and gender at the U.N. headquarters in New York this weekend to launch the “HeForShe” campaignwhich aims to galvanize one billion men and boys as advocates for ending the inequalities that women and girls face globally.

Watson’s speech, which was met with a thunderous standing ovation, not only called for action from male allies, but clarified a persistent misconception about feminism in general. She said: 

I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and, unattractive.

LIfe tips that every introvert should know

 " shy is often described as a drawback, but it’s actually a really valuable quality and — especially when you’re a shy person who might be a little self-conscious about it — it’s important to understand why. "

“Being shy and being introverted are not necessarily one and the same thing,” says Harvard-trained psychotherapist and author Katherine Crowley. Shy people tend to be the observers, the listeners, and sometimes the hardest workers among us — and yet, the very qualities that make them especially valuable can hold them back. "

Here are some  interesting Tips

The 7 characteristics of highly effective people who give TED talks

This is a link to Chris Bailey's post about " The 7 characteristics of highly effective people who give TED talks"

According to Chris The people who speak at TED: see limits differently, care a ton about just one thing, can see how their work fits into the bigger picture, are insanely curious, lead ‘tribes’, are crazy, and work unbelievably hard.

"Throughout my productivity experiment-continues Chris Bailey-  to watch 70 hours of TED talks the other week, I couldn’t help but think about the characteristics that presenters at TED conferences share.
Speakers at TED are at the top of their game, and are no doubt some of the most productive people out there. Here are the 7 habits of highly effective people who give TED talks!"

ADVENT CALENDAR

What is an Advent Calendar?

An Advent calendar is a poster or card with twenty-four small doors, one to be opened each day from 1st December until Christmas Eve. Each door conceals a picture. Every morning children open one window of the calendar to see a pretty picture or find a chocolate or a treat  inside.

Why are Advent Calendars called 'Advent Calendars'?

Advent is the start of the Christmas season in Britain. It begins four Sundays before Christmas. Advent calendars are a countdown to Christmas Day.
The first sign of Christmas in a British home is the children's advent calendar. The calendars start on the first day of December. Advent calendars are a fun way to help children to know when Christmas Eve will arrive, an important night for them because Father Christmas (Santa Claus) will visit them bringing gifts. copyright of projectbritain.com
