Guillermo is a student of digital systems and robotics engineering, he just started collage and he is very excited about his career. While the tima was running, Guillermo started involving in his career and he entered t a robotics course. In that course the teachers taught him a lot of cool stuffs, and he started doing some robots. One day, he was walking in the halls and he saw a very weird computer in a classroom, he turned it on and started programming it, he realized that it was a wonderful computer, with no precedents.

He decided to use that computer in a project he was working on, he was working in a brain, a prototype that can work as a human brain, he was very excited but unfortunately the project didn't work. Guillermo felt very sad and he thought that the robotics wasn't his field. After days of thinking, suddenly one day a thought came to his head, and return to work in his project. His ambitious was so tremendous that he stayed in his room for one entire month, he just go out for food.

After months of hard work and testing the project, the brain finally worked, it was like a real brain. All his friends, teachers and the entire college congratulated jim, he won a los of prices and contests. He was so happy that he fall in love with the brain and he become so obsessed that he told a doctor to replace the robotic brain in his head. The doctor accepted and now Guillermo can program himself to do whatever he wants. Now he is competing in the USA elections for this year.

Steve Jobs philosophy

Our destiny is death

Imagine that you know the date of your death, would you like that? What would you do? Death is a very serious topic, most of the people are afraid of death, but that is unnecessary. What I want to express is that even though you know the date of your death, as Bob in the movie "My life", you have to live every day as it was your last day, our mission is to be happy and enjoy every moment of our life.

First of all, what is death? Death is the moment when you become into a non life human being, this is a natural transition. According to biology we all experience three stages, the stage of our born, the stage were we grown up and the stage of the death. In spite of knowing this, why are we afraid of death? What most of the people fear about death is the fact of loosing aal the things we owned in our lifes. These things could be our family, like Bob did and in some cases people fear about loosing material things. To all the people that care about material things, Im going to tell you that every single thing we owned in our lifes stays in the earth, we can not carry anything in the moment we die.

Death could look like the worst thing a human being can experience, but that is not true. For all the religious people, there is a belief that supports the idea of the existence of a second life. This life is about a gift that God gave to all those who act in a good way. Moreover, for all those who dont believe in god, I invite you to act in a good way, by helping the others, doing your job, loving your family and friends, because at the end of our life we can only keep all the good moments and the good actions we did for the other ones.

Therefore, the answer to the questions of the fear of death is very simple, you have to live your life like it was the last day of it. You have to enjoy all the gifts and try to help and live for the others, because at the end of our time, people will remind us by our acts, and not by the things we owned.

Second speech

First Speech

Reflection of the activity

The activity we made the second class of our course was very helpful. First of all it helps to know all the elements we have to be careful at the moment we are speaking in front of an audience. The activity was a nice ice breaker, even though we spoke in front of three persons, we have a little approach to a speech. Being in teams was good because they wrote what all the people in the audience can see, and more important is that each of us realize the mistakes and the positive things we do in a speech.

Activities like these are a great way to star loosing the fear and develop our capabilities. Also it was good to know the things that we must pay attention, the grammar, our posture, clarity, aye contact and enthusiasm are elements that we will improve and at the end we will be able to write and give an excellent speech.

Expectations

In order to collaborate and have a good group I expect that my classmates always participate in all the activities including class activities, blackboard activities and others. Another thing I expect is a good attitude of everyone in every discussion.

For having interesting topics I expect that my teacher could bring us this topics, because at the beginning we wont know which topics are the most attractive and the ones that allow us to learn and practice in the best way.

About myself I have higher expectations. I want this class to be a good way and an interesting way  to practice my English. At the end of the course my goal is to have the elements and use them to create and give a good speech in front of an audience.

What I expect about the class is that all the group wants to participate in order to have excellent discussions and a good work atmosphere to get the whole knowledge.
