Why is it important to come be a good person? Why not?

To me it is very important to be a good personbecause I believe that one can be so far away,both in the emotional and at work, I think it is not so hard to be a good person just depends on theattitude and interest you have for the situation. It's the little details that make a difference in the timeto do a good deed or a good gesture to the other,with only small things you can be a great person.It's so simple to be just the fact of helping people in need, like helping an old lady across the street,homework help your teammates, to support a friend when you feel ill, help with work the house,etc, one not only has to wait for you to seek helpbut one must be "available " for the rest when youneed it, because if you do may come a time whenyou need that help and not will be no one available to help you.

Every gesture tells a story

Cada gesto cuenta una historia

Cuando pensamos sobre el lenguaje y la comunicación solemos pensar en hablar. Sin embargo, nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras, nuestro lenguaje corporal, dice mucho más sobre nosotros que nuestras palabras. El lenguaje corporal nos dice lo que otros también están realmente pensando o sintiendo.

Un psicólogo experto dice que las palabras representan sólo el 7 % de la comunicación que hacemos, mientras que el 93 % proviene de las señales de silencio. Los niños lo entienden, naturalmente, pero a medida que crezca el énfasis se desplaza hacia las palabras y perdemos la habilidad de recoger estas señales en silencio. Los adultos se vuelven muy buenos en decir cosas que no significan necesariamente. El lenguaje corporal trabaja en conjunto con el lenguaje verbal, pero a veces los dos pueden ser contradictorios. Por ejemplo, las personas pueden decir que están de acuerdo contigo y al mismo tiempo pueden echar su silla para atrás y aprender sobre ti. Pero si físicamente se distancian de ti, significa que están en desacuerdo contigo.

" Algunas personas mienten muy bien con sus gestos corporales", dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo, los políticos aprenden a usar ciertos gestos para crear la impresión correcta. Pero no son tan exitosos como ellos esperan. Antes de creer lo que ven en la cara de una persona, deben moverse más hacia atrás para ver todo su cuerpo. Mientras más lejos estés de la gente, mejor se verá la verdad.

Algunos gestos faciales, sin embargo, lo hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas de nuestros ojos se dilatan cuando se sienten atraídos por alguien. Así que el lenguaje corporal sucede inconscientemente. Si queremos utilizar y comprender los gestos con éxito tenemos que ser conscientes de ellos y de sus diferentes significados. Mirar el lenguaje corporal en nosotros mismos y los demás nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si usted aprende a descifrar y utilizar el lenguaje corporal, llegarás a expresarte fluidamente como lo haces con el lenguaje verbal.

make a story

There once was a forensic photographer will go to play
photographing a scene of the crime (murder). This was
in the middle of December, in a city park when
was supposed to be on vacation, but he was the
desponible only photographer in the area, so there was no
another option was to call him. He does not like
anything but comforting to know that at least he
pay extra money.
then departed at dawn the scene that was supposed and was confined to the public, but still, it cost much to enter the restricted area because there were many people gathered around the tragedythat morning.
Arrived at the scene and found a disastrous situation had threedeaths and the most difficult was that he played so terrible to photograph this moment.
