The value of 1%, the little huge difference between success and real failure.

Hi everyone? How are you doing? Did you start the day full of energy? I hope so!

I want to ask to you something. If I say to you that I am trying to get achieve something so really hard difficult that, in fact, I only have a chance of success than of 1%, what would you say to me?
It could be "That's great!! It looks a little difficult but anyway, do your best!!" but I think that is it would more probably listen to sound something like "What that fuck!! Are you crazy? You are wasting your time for sure!!".

Well, If you say me that, maybe you are right but you are wrong as well. The key is that people confuse the failure with "not get attaining success" but this is not true. The failure, the real failure, is when you don't even try! And the reason is really easy to understand:
If you only have a 1% chance of success, then that's it! This is what you have! But, If you decide that It is too hard and It is better to not even try it, then you have a 0% chance of success. So tell me now, what is a real failure? Trying to get something with only a chance of success than 1% or to not even try it and get a 0% chance of success for sure?

I know, just like you, that a 1% is a really a tiny possibility but is better than 0. If you have a dream I am sure that a 1% probability should be enough and If you don't get it at the end then that's not a failure but a big step in your road to success. With bravery and time you can change a 1% into a 10% next time a 20%, then 30%, 35%, 50% and finally, You will get it.

Be brave but be smart as well. You always have to try, that's the smartest way to live.

Well, that's all for today. Enjoy the day.

See you around.

I¨m reading a book titled "A long way down"

I´ve started to read in english in order to improve my english. This book, A long way down, is my third book.
My first book was "Elisabeth is missing" and my second book was "Looking for Alaska". Both of them weren´t very difficult for me.
What dou do you think of my last book "A long way down"?. In my opinion, it is clear to me that this one is more difficult to read than the two first books.
Have you read it?, Is it a good book to read to learn english?. I think I can understand, at least, 90% of words and espressions expressions in it.
Thank you ¡¡¡

Why in Spain only thinks in futbol?

Why do they only think about football in Spain?

Last weekend therewas the a match between R. Madrid and Barcelona and all the people here arespeaking about it, I think there are so many things that are more importants in my country than this match. Everyday I think that in Spain we don´t think in about all that is happening here: politician political corruption, people without work, and people without money and house housing. I only see people drinking at the weekend and at party parties when they don't have work to do.
I´ll hope the situation will change but when you don´t fight for your rights it´s too difficult.

An email about work experience

Dear David:

As I told you, yesterday was my first day in my new work job/career as a police officer. My day started early at 6 a.m, I arrived at the police station and met my new partners, they were very nice with to me. After the presentations my first task was to receive calls from citizens in the office during for 4 hours, this kept me entertained but the hours passed slowly. A At mid-morning we took a break to drink a coffee and get a some rest.
When we returned to the work we went out on patrol according to the different warnings alerts and calls.
At the end of the day I returned to home very tired but satisfied because I have begun to work on what work/(a job) that I like.

Regards and I hope to hear about you.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to ask for information about your courses. I would like to improve my English and I have heard to several people to say that your school is a good choice. I am interested in having all the information about your English courses.
I am looking for an intensive course because I do not have enough time to do a normal course, and I have seen in your website that you offer this these types of courses (<em>alternative for singular case: </em>this type of course).
I would be grateful if you could supply me with the following information:
Firstly, I would like to know when the courses start and what the timetable is. If there is are some courses in the morning (<em>alternative for the singular: </em>If there is a course ...), I would rather go in attend during this period.
Secondly, I have not seen anything about the costs of the course, could you tell me how much it is? I would like that you tell me something else, what forms of payment do you use? If there is no problem, I prefer to use paypal.
Lastly, I have seen in your website that your school provides accommodation for students, could you tell me some more details about the service (<em>alternative: </em>options) you offer,e.g. shared or not single rooms, the costs, how the rooms are room descriptions, etc?

Thank you in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
María Jesús Ruiz
