Profile
I grew up in California (San Diego) I'm currently living in Fort Collins, Colorado (USA). I'm a Mormon and served a two-year mission in Germany. I'm married (39 years to the same person). I have two children (both a son and a daughter) and six grandchildren (four boys and two girls). I have a Bachelors degree in Middle Eastern Studies, an MBA, and a Masters degree in Acupuncture. I am a practitioner of Chinese medicine (acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, etc.). I also trade stock options. I read, lots. My favorite book is probably Shogun by James Clavell. I also like Neville Shute. I like the water. At one time I was a surfer, but now it's more about scuba. I also like the mountains and love to camp.

    Translating a proverb into Spanish (from English) In English: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. In Spanish: Si se quiere ir rápido, va solo. Si se quiere ir lejos, va con alguien. How did I do? (Como lo hice?)

    Do you really think that they would dare to take over Hong Kong? So many senior officials have personal assets there, and they will go down with the city.

    Is this good idiomatic Spanish? Sólo debemos hacer este gesto si la persona necesita ser impulsada. (We should only make this gesture if the person needs to be prompted.)

    Por lo mismo o Para lo mismo? I have been saying "Quiero hacerlo por mí mismo" ( I want to do it by myself) and a native Speaker told me last night that he would say "Quiero hacerlo para mí mismo." Would it matter if I was trying to say, "I want to do it for myself"? How about these questions: 1) Do you want to try to do it by yourself? or 2) Do you want to try to do it for yourself? Does "Quiere tratar de hacerlo por su mismo? work? Gracias a todos por su ayuda!

    According to this philosophy, right/wrong, good/evil, etc. are decided by each culture or society. The individuals living in a society or culture then see ethics and morality through the lens of their society or culture. In my opinion, the second statement is a philosophical give, i.e., we all experience the world through the lens of our home language and culture. I disagree, however, with the first statement. For example, you might belong to a gang that thinks murder is okay as long as it is outside of your gang or tribe. In my mind that doesn't make it right.
