Obama's speech

All of us have goals to overcome, it can be easy or difficult but we have to struggle and face challenges.

There are a lot of friends who already know what they want to do in the future.They know their goals. What do I want to do with my life? For me that's a very difficult question.

There are a lot of grades and chances but I already don't know my goals. If you ask me what my short-term goals are, the only answer I can give you is that I want to finish Batxillerat with good marks. After this I will think about my future seriously. For the moment I will live the present.

I know that in our lives we have a lot of challenges, I'm not the best to advise how to overcome them but for me the best way is to work a little bit everyday and believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself you will fail. Another important thing is trust in your family and friends because they will support you on everything.

One sentence I'd like of the speech of Obama is: "No one's written your destiny for you". This means that you have to work becouse nobody will fix up your life without effort.

Your body language shapes who you are

In this TED Talks video, Amy Cuddy, a social psychologist explains how body lenguage affects how others see us and how we see ourselves. Amy Cuddy shows how a "power posing" can have an effect on our chances for success.

First of all she explains that she is fascinated with the body lenguage. She says that there are two types of non verbal expressions: the expression of power and the expression of domine. Humans and animals are about a expanding that makes you big when you takes space, it's about opening up. There are two types of people, the people who wants to ocupy space, be the attention, etc. The other type of people are virtually collapsing, what makes themselves tiny.

Amy Cuddy took people to do an experiment where they had to do two types of poses: High-Power pose and Low-Power pose during two minutes. Depending on the position what they took, his body changes they testosterone, risk tolerance, cristol, etc. After this, she questioned herself if can power posing for a few minutes really change your life in meaningful ways.

Finishing the conference Amy Cuddy explains that she suffered a severe head injury in a car accident and professors said then she can't finish her undergraduate degree. But she proved them wrong becouse nowadays she is a professor at Harvard Business School.

In my opinion Amy Cuddy is an exemple op superation becouse after the injury on the car, after nobody trust her to get the undergraduate degree, she complied her dream to be a social psychologist. Besides she became a professor of one of the most important universities of the world.
