Martha Ximena Niembro Nieto
Unfortunately the majority
of people think that successful
people are those lucky
persons who get everything
easily, who are born in a rich
family and get it all in a gold
plate, who don’t need to work
hard to get what they want,
what surprise me a lot that
they never think what these
people really did to reach
where they are today. It is
exactly like the example of the
iceberg that floats in the sea,
people only look at the visible
part above the water line and
they will never see the larger
part which is hidden under
the water. The visible part represents
the accomplishments
and the invisible part represents
the reality, represents
the huge efforts that were
necessary in order to success
and achieve their goals. If
you really want to succeed in
your life and in your business
don’t be blinded by the
visible success and look at
the invisible part, look at the long journey those people had
to go through to achieve their
accomplishments. Bernard
Kelvin Clive said “The journey
of success can be a lonely long
walk, blurry and stormy on
every side but learn to enjoy
the journey anyway”. Here are
10 essential keys to life and
business success.
1 Believe in yourself.
First of all and the most
important thing is believing in
yourself. The universe loves
a believer. When you believe
in yourself the world starts
believing in you. If you don’t
trust yourself no one will trust
you. Remove all the doubts,
have a self confidence and
believe that you can do it, yes
you can do it. “Your ‘I can’ is
more important than your ‘IQ’”
—Robin Sharma. Believe that
you can reach all your dreams,
all your goals. James Clear
said “The biggest difference
I’ve noticed between successful
people and unsuccessful
people isn’t intelligence or
opportunity or resources, it’s
the belief that they can make
their goals happen”. Millions
of successful people over the
world did it by believing in
themselves, so take action. All
what you need is to believe
that you can do it as well.
2 Invest in yourself. Invest
in your education. This
is so important, Mahatma
Gandhi said “Live as if you
were to die tomorrow, learn
as if you were to live forever”,
yes you should never stop
learning, every day you should
learn something new, Nelson
Mandela said “Education is
the most powerful weapon
you can use to change the
world”. Learn as much as you
can, be curious, ask about
everything especially that
nowadays everything become
much easier, technology has
helped us a lot, you can get
any information on Internet,
you can search and get whatever
you want from home,
information is available everywhere.
Invest in your physical
and mental health, exercise at
least 5 times a week, many of
the successful people when
they’ve been asked about their
routine they’ve said that they woke up too early everyday so
they can exercise before starting
their work, eat a balanced
diet, take all supplements your
body needs, drink 2 to 3 big
bottles of water daily, meditate
every day, get enough sleep,
make massage, stay away as
much as you can from stressful
situations. And don’t ever
forget to take good care of
your appearance, dress like
you own the bank, not like
you need a loan from it.
3 Positive thinking and
affirmations. Positive
thinking is everything. Many
Hollywood stars like Denzel
Washington, Jennifer Lopez,
Oprah Winfrey and many
others got over their problems
by practicing affirmations and
positive attitude. Affirmations
are those positive sentences
we keep repeating to ourselves
until we reach our goal, for
example when you open a
new business you should say
“I am a magnet for success
in everything I do”. Many
time things doesn’t go so well
with some people because of
their negative thinking and
negative attitude because even
things might be going good
with them they will never see
it, they will only focus on bad
things and at the end they will
attract negativity. “A positive
mental attitude supported by
affirmations will reach success
in anything”. Wake up every
day, say thank God I’m alive,
thank God I’ve got everything,
everything is going so well,
everything will be fantastic,
I will be the most successful
person. I remember when I
was 15 years old I used to say
to myself I’m the happiest girl
on earth every day and at the
end it was really true my mind
was convinced that I was the
happiest girl. Yes, when you
say all positive things to yourself
even when you are feeling
bad you can cheat yourself
and become really happy. Try
to turn all negative sentences
into positive for example
when you ask for help and you
get ‘’NO’’ as an answer, try to
think that “NO” means next
opportunity.
4 Surround yourself with
positive and smart
people. You might be surprised
but yes believe that
an enormous part of your
success is whom you surround
yourself. If your friends
are believers, positive, smart,
successful, etc… then you
will learn a lot from them and
they will transfer you all these
good qualities that will help
you a lot and give you a big
push towards achieving your
goals. Always remember if
you are the smartest person
in the room then you are in
the wrong room. Make sure to
make the right choices when it
comes to friend and surround
yourself with as many as successful
individual as possible!!!
Always remember “you are the
average of the five people you
spend the most time with’’,
so choose well your friends,
choose smart positive successful
friends.
5 Patience and persistence.
Patience and persistence
are very important keys for
people who really want to succeed
in their business.
Things will come, you
will get whatever you want
but everything needs time.
Keep going, everything you
need will come to you at the
perfect time so be patient. You
should understand that nothing
comes easy, and nothing
comes so fast, life is full of
ups and downs, patience and
persistence are a most to reach
our goal. Most of the time the
way to success is too long
carrying a lot of obstacles and
needs a lot of patience from
our side. Persistence allows
you to keep taking actions
when you don’t feel motivated.
When you feel hopeless
persistence will give you hope
and will let you reach where
you want to be. American
greatest inventor Thomas Edison
tried 9,999 times before
he succeeded in making the
first talking machine, so if the
greatest Edison tried almost
10,000 times, who are we to
quit? Even if you feel that
things are not going well or
you are facing lots of troubles
never give up, be stubborn and
remember that these obstacles
are exams which many successful
people have taken over
and over again. Most successful
people like Bill Gates,
Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg
have all dropped out of
college but they reach where
they are today because of their
persistence.
6 Think big, act small.
Whatever you think, think
big. You should have big and
challenging dreams and you
can change the world, at the
same time you have to take
care of the smallest details
and give quality time to every
single person, try to be the
source of happiness of others,
you will not only give them
happiness but much more important
is the happiness you
will also receive, never ever
forget to stay humble, remember
that “the more humble we
stay the more god blesses us”
try to help others as much as
you can and treat all people
fairly, the most successful big
companies are those that treat
their employees as if they were
the owners. Last weekend I
went to have lunch in a very
famous restaurant in Spain
and I was very happy seeing
the employees sitting next to
our table having their lunch as
well as if they were restaurant
customers, then I understand
the reason why this restaurant
is too famous and successful.
Mark Zuckerberg wrote a very funny quote that I always
love to use, he said “Treat your
employees right so they won’t
use your Internet to look for
new jobs”.
Think big, dream big, act
small and be sure that big
things will happen. There is
nothing you can’t do, nothing
you can’t achieve, always
remember that your “I can’’ is
much more important than
your “IQ’’.
7 Never fear failure. Everyone
fails at one point in
life, but the most important is
to never give up and use failure
as motivation to continue,
be sure you are not the only
one, even most famous people
had failed many times.
Michael Jordan, considered
one of the best basketball
players of all the
time, NBA superstar, lost
300 games and missed over
9,000 shots and he said that
he used failure as motivation
to shoot for success. Thomas
Edison, the greatest inventor
of his time, failed 9,999
time but he said “I have not
failed, I have just found
9,999 ways that do not work
before, so who are you to
quit? The reality is that we
all need to fail at some point
because the most learned
lessons are though failure.
The most important is to
never give up and always remember
that F.A.I.L. is “first
attempts in learning”.
8 Take calculated risks.
Most successful people
took risks at some point
in their life. But remember
that there is a big difference
between “taking risks’’ and
taking “calculated risks’’. Successful
people took calculated
risks because taking risks
which are not calculated can
be really dangerous.
Before taking any risk, you
must research and gain the
knowledge you need to make
any decision. The majority
of successful people ask
themselves the following 3
questions before taking any
decision:
1. What is the best-case
scenario?
2. What is the worst-case
scenario?
3. What is the most likely
scenario?
Successful people understand
that risks must be taken in
order to make their dreams
happen. Robin Sharma said “If
you are not scared a lot, you
are not doing very much”. So
when it comes to decisions
take risks even if it make you
scared, but most important
take calculated risks.
9 Be different, be better, be
yourself. You were created
to be different from others,
you can’t compare yourself
to anyone, there is something
very special and very unique
in you. Each one of us has a
role and a place in family, in
community, in the country
and even in this world.
It is true that we should
be better and work more
and more on ourselves to
be different, but we should
only be better than ourselves
yesterday. Never wish for
other’s life, Steve Jobs said
“Your time is limited, so don’t
waste it living someone else’s
life”. The only person you
should be better than is the
person you see in the mirror,
he/she is your only competitor.
Be yourself, be a great
story teller so when people
ask who you are, you will be
having a long story to tell.
10 Set S.M.A.R.T goals.
Setting goals to achieve
whatever you want is so
important but what is more
important is to set smart goals.
Smart goal setting is one of
the most effective tools for
achieving goals. To make your
goal SMART it should adhere to
the following criteria: Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Relevant
and Timely. What does
exactly each one mean?
Specific means what you
want to achieve exactly, with
whom, where, when, which,
when, why, etc. Here you
should be very specific with all
the smallest details.
Measurable means you
should know when you will
achieve your goal, is it easy
to get it and how far away
completion is.
Attainable means you
should think about how to
reach the goal and what tools
or skills are needed and if you
don’t have them, think what to
do to get them.
Realistic means, is it really a
reasonable goal?
Timely, you should know
the time and check if you have
enough time to reach your goal.
Many successful people
reach their dreams by setting
smarts goals.
Whenever we hear about
Dissertation immediately
the thought arises that it
is something difficult, that it
means a lot of time and many
adversities.
For the time and difficulties
to disappear we must work
with a strategy that allows us
to feel good and not take our
life in the attempt to obtain a
degree.
The first thing we should do
when we enroll at university
is to see if to finish the degree
we have to do a final research
called Dissertation or Final
Thesis. If so, the dissertation
we have to do we have to
start it from we sign up.
Many will say: How will
it be possible if I have just
enrolled?
Others will say: If so, it
means a lot of time and it’s better that I don’t think about
it now because it’s the same
thing, I wait until I finish all
my subjects.
Starting our Thesis when we
sign up means:
1. When we begin the studies
as bibliographic, hemerographic
or digital material
arrives to us, and it seems
interesting: to keep the references
and if it is physical:
to file specimens.
2. For any research that does
reading always make the
underline, it will help me
later to save time and not
having to read all the works
from beginning to end doing
new reading.
3. Halfway through my
studies I must go thinking
about possible topics of
Dissertation.
In my final subjects I begin
to consider my Dissertation
work.
Other answers I need are:
1. Let's see what the theme
may be.
2. If my area of knowledge
carries experiments.
3. To carry out experiments:
where can I do them and
the procedure to do it in the
institution that allows it.
4. If I need to transport myself
to some place: what will be
the cost.
5. If I need to invest paper for
my printer: where will the
resources come from?
6. If my Advisor or Dissertation
Director will have time
to review my work.
7. Investigate in my university
what is the administrative
process for the Thesis and
the Professional Exam.
8. Investigate where the best
impressions are made or if
I will only introduce myself
with my digital material and
copies of it.
With all the clear answers
my anxiety for a job that is
traditionally said is difficult, it
is becoming clearer and more
reassuring.
To know:
1. What are my best hours for
the study.
2. How many hours a week
will I have?
3. If I need something design,
if I can do it or if I have to
resort to someone teach me
because it will be time to
invest.
4. If I will have support from
someone to pass my material
to a computer.
If during the study of my
subjects I work with this
insurance strategy, the work
of my Final Thesis will be easy
and it will not take my life to
do it.
Working with time I can
afford to enjoy doing my Dissertation
and finish my degree
with the best results that
anyone can expect.
You can do it!
Good to know now!
Organize and enjoy
your student life!

Study Tips
Most students just read as they study.
As they read, they think that they are
understanding the material. But have
you ever studied and then asked yourself,
“What did I just read?”
This study tip is to ask
yourself questions as you
read and study. Ask yourself to
repeat what you just read from
memory. Then in your mind
summarize the concepts and
explanations of what you just
read. If you forget something,
then read that part over again.
This technique really
improves memorization and
understanding of what you
read. It is actually easy to do
but may feel uncomfortable
at first. You may feel that you
understand the material just
because you read it. You may
think that you do not have to
think about it again. But when
you question your understanding
and memory, you
will find things that really did
not stay in your mind. You will
find things that really did not
make sense to you.
When you find weaknesses
in your understanding, then
you go back and re-read those
sections that you did not
remember. This extra focus really
increases your learning.
You will learn to ask yourself
deeper questions as you
study. What more could I
read to understand this topic
better? How could I apply
this knowledge in my work
and life? How could I develop
a research project on this
subject?... Those are deeper
questions that allow you to be
a more advance student.
Go ahead and ask yourself
questions to test your knowledge
after you study.
The goals of the Green School are
anything but small, yet they are
simple: take care of the local community
and teach children to be stewards
of our planet and leaders of sustainability
in the future.
Diet-induced changes in the human
bite resulted in new sounds such
as “f” in languages all over the world, a
study by an international team led by
researchers at the University of Zurich
has shown.
By combining math with 3D printing,
researchers from Boston University
have created a new material
that seemingly defies logic: light and
air have no trouble passing through
it —but sound cannot. “The idea is that
we can now mathematically design
an object that can block the sounds of
anything,” researcher Xin Zhang said
in a press release —meaning the future
could be far quieter than the present.
In a paper published in the journal
Physical Review B, the researchers describe
the work that went into creating
what they call their “acoustic metamaterial.”
They started by calculating the
dimensions and specification a material
would need to have to be able to reflect
incoming sound waves back to their
source without blocking air or light.
Then they 3D printed the material
into a donut shape and attached it to
one end of a PVC pipe, the other end of
which they attached to a loudspeaker.
When they blasted a high-pitched
note from the loudspeaker, they found
that the shape blocked 94 percent of
the sound coming through the pipe.
“The moment we first placed and removed
the silencer… was literally night
and day,” researcher Jacob Nikolajczyk
said in the press release. “We had been
seeing these sorts of results in our
computer modeling for months —but it
is one thing to see modeled sound pressure
levels on a computer, and another
to hear its impact yourself.” ...
Researchers from the Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology
teamed up with colleagues from
the U.S. and Switzerland and returned
the state of a quantum computer a
fraction of a second into the past. They
also calculated the probability that an
electron in empty interstellar space
will spontaneously travel back into its
recent past. The study is published in
Scientific Reports.
“This is one in a series of papers on
the possibility of violating the second
law of thermodynamics. That law is
closely related to the notion of the
arrow of time that posits the one-way
direction of time from the past to the
future,” said the study’s lead author
Gordey Lesovik, who heads the
Laboratory of the Physics of Quantum
Information Technology at MIPT.
“We began by describing a so-called
local perpetual motion machine of the
second kind. Then, in December, we
published a paper that discusses the
violation of the second law via a device
called a Maxwell’s demon,” Lesovik
said. “The most recent paper approaches
the same problem from a third angle:
We have artificially created a state that
evolves in a direction opposite to that
of the thermodynamic arrow of time.”
Most laws of physics make no
distinction between the future and the
past. For example, let an equation describe
the collision and rebound of ...
At only 3 inches long and weighing
about 60 grams, the uterus isn’t a
flashy, attention-grabbing organ. When
it comes to human health, the heart usually
comes first, followed by the brain,
then perhaps the digestive system. Yet
the uterus plays an outsized role. It’s the
carrier of all life, the subject of scrutiny
in political forums, and a source of
delight and despair for sexually mature
women. It causes bleeding and pain, allows
211 million women to get pregnant
every year, and is partially responsible
for the 10 to 20 percent of those pregnancies
that end in miscarriage.
Despite its ability to create life,
there are dozens of crucial things we
have yet to learn about the uterus.
At least we’ve abandoned the theory
that it travels freely around the body,
causing hysteria, and that it can be
manipulated by smelling salts.
Today we know the uterus sits low in
the abdomen, held in place by muscles
and ligaments. It is connected to the
vagina by the cervix and receives unfertilized
eggs from the ovaries via the
fallopian tubes, which are connected to
both sides of the uterus. It expands from
3 inches to the size of a watermelon by
the end of a pregnancy in order to hold
the baby and placenta—and, luckily for
new mothers, naturally deflates about
six weeks after the child is born.
But how did we develop this organ,
how does it operate —or malfunction—
in the body, and what's the outlook for
the future? Until recently, scientists
didn’t even understand how mammals
evolved uteruses that allowed for live
birth. ...

Everyone wants some peace of mind.
In these chaotic times, carving out
some Zen for yourself seems not just a
luxury, but also a vital necessity. Alas,
the idea of meditation for most people —
sitting still, focusing on breathing, shutting
out the world— seems too difficult,
too eccentric, too boring, or too all of the
above. Wendy Ann Greenhalgh’s Mindfulness
& the Art of Drawing: A Creative
Path to Awareness offers picking up a
pencil and drawing as an alternative that
everyone can do. If doodling through
a meeting’s ever brought you a fleeting
moment of Zen, then mindfulness drawing
might bring you closer to not just an
understanding of yourself, but also an
understanding of the power of art.
“Everyone can draw,” Greenhalgh
writes in her introduction. “Far from
being a rare gift, only possessed by the
‘artists’ among us, drawing can be as
natural and instinctive to us as breathing
—if we let it.” Greenhalgh’s mindfulness
drawing program, if followed
faithfully, “has the power to effortlessly
lead us into a deeper relationship with
ourselves and the world around us.”
Drawing in this way eliminates the distance
and disconnect we can feel with
the world and ourselves. Drawing compels
us to see deeply, which leads us to
(perhaps for the first time) build a real
relationship with parts of ourselves ...

Researchers have discovered a
means of converting carbon
dioxide gas into particles of what is
essentially soot, potentially giving us a
way to trap CO2 from our atmosphere
in a solid and easily manageable form.
Publishing in the journal “Nature Communications”,
researchers from RMIT
University in Melbourne, Australia
demonstrate a new technique that uses
liquid metals and the process of electrolysis
to effectively turn atmospheric
CO2 back into solid carbon particles.
Currently, our leading method of
artificial carbon capture at scale is
turning CO2 into a liquid, which we
then store underground. This does
work, but it comes with a number of
drawbacks, including the fact that it is
possible for these storage sites to leak
and allow the material to hemorrhage
into the environment. There are also
other logistical problems, like finding
safe sites and how to manage them appropriately
That all comes with costs
that have so far made liquid carbon
capture largely unworkable.
In this latest study the research
team used a liquid metal catalyst that
has a number of interesting properties,
including being really good at
conducting electricity. The scientists
took carbon dioxide and dissolved it
in a beaker containing an electricityconducting
solution and the special ...
Susan, a 25-year-old who lives in
rural West Pokot, Kenya, has a daily
routine. She wakes up at 6am every day
to get water from the river. She prepares
breakfast for her family. She gets her five
children ready for school. Then she sets
off for work, caring for her animals and
plowing the earth on her farm. On her
one day off a week, she takes her family
to church. She loves spending time with
her family and community.
Susan, and women like her, have
always played an important role in the
local culture. However, they’ve often
had challenges accessing information
and resources about their health,
including the importance of healthy
timing and spacing of pregnancies, as
well as the health of their children. But
that’s changing. “Now my community
sees that a mother’s health is important,
too,” Susan says.
Unfortunately, in rural communities
like Susan’s, getting quality healthcare
can be difficult –the distance to clinics
can be long, which can be a challenge
for local women who have so many
other responsibilities.
The Pfizer Foundation with partners
like World Vision, however, are helping
to empower women like Susan by
providing them with information and
resources that are allowing them take
control of their family’s health. Through
its Healthy Families, Healthy Futures

Wildlife trafficking and the illegal

The Bachelor of Philosophy (BA)
program helps students develop
critical thinking skills, linguistic ability
and the ability to defend a reasoned
point of view. Also students learn to
critique world-views and come to their
own ideas on what is true and how
to live. The Bachelor of Philosophy
(BA) program is offered online via
distance learning. After evaluating
both academic record and life experience,
AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors
will assist students in setting up a
custom-made program, designed on
an individual basis. This flexibility to
meet student needs is seldom found
in other distance learning programs.
Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/
courses, use the same books, or
learning materials. Instead, the online
Bachelor of Philosophy (BA) curriculum
is designed individually by the
student and academic advisor.
It specifically addresses strengths
and weaknesses with respect to
market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work.
Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence
the content of the curriculum instead
of a standardized one-fits-all design is
the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy
addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working
professionals by helping adult students
in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of
the degree program.
