Project and Team Management is an interesting class. No project is done, if there is no involvement of people in it. In other words, people make the projects, and the project may or not work depending on the skills, talents, and willingness of people involved in it.
That is the main purpose of this class. Every project has five main areas that a team management would seek, in order to assess where the best resources are to get the job done: People, Resources, Places, Personalities and Budgeting.
How a project management will achieve the goal of increasing a production of cars from five hundred to one thousand in a day? Can we build the same cars with the same people, with the same resources and budget?. Changes in the process means changes in management.
Welcome to team management.
A team in the company is important to achieve success. A team that “manage” all the changes in the environment from planning, execution and control.
What resources do we have? What places are available? How do we connect different places with same policies at the same time? Do we use the Internet, do we use the web to get the messages to our partners all around the globe?
If we want to produce more, who is the leader that will challenge his team to get a little further? What skills and traits does every single person have to get the project done? What kind of leadership do we have at the other side? Is it a shark, an owl, a turtle, a teddy bear? What about the personality? Is it a dominant personality? Is it an influence personality? Is it a steadfast personality? Is it a Compliance personality? http://www.123test.com/disc-personality-test/
In real world, how do we combine all these types of personalities in a working place? Is it one better that the other one? Do we take advantages of every single personality to produce a meaningful and diverse team that achieve the goal of producing more? How?
Welcome to Project and Team Management, where knowledge is the key to open a world of opportunities to make things happen, and get the job done.
Just do it with knowledge. Knowledge is Project and Team Management.

Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairytale.
Well, that's why we're here! To make it better.
But...life isn't like a fairytale...
That's right! It's up to you to make things better...
If you begin a story edit with these questions to evaluate your characters, plot, and setting, you’ll be amazed at how this will help you improve your story!
We’re going to look at characters first.
The cast of characters is the list of characters in your story. These characters act and react. They create emotion. They show motivation. Without any of this, you don’t have a story. That’s a tall order for your characters. So how do you make sure you’re getting the most out of them?
Who appears in each scene?
Having a list of your characters per scene gives a specific method for evaluating how you’re using the characters and shows you when you need to revise a scene.
It’s time to revise a scene if:
There are too many characters in a scene. Is every character required to achieve the purpose of the scene?
An introduced character lacks detail or has too much detail.
There are names that are too similar and might confuse the reader.
What are their goals?
A character goal is what a character wants. She should want it so badly that your readers feel her need in their guts. And failing to achieve the goal will be devastating.
What gets in the way of their goals?
Characters will drive the tension in your story, and tension is what keeps a reader reading. Putting obstacles in the way of achieving the goal will raise the tension.
Plot is what happens in the story. It’s what your story is about. Here are three questions to help you evaluate each scene and how they relate to the plot.
What is the purpose of each scene?
There must always be a reason any given scene exists in your story. That’s what we mean by its purpose. A scene without a purpose will distract the reader from the main story. It may even bore the reader.
Is there an entry hook opening each scene?
Whatever you read at the beginning of the scene that keeps you reading is the scene entry hook. Every scene must have one by the end of the first three paragraphs or so.
Is there an exit hook at the end of each scene?
Whatever you read at the end of the scene that keeps you turning the page to the next scene is the exit hook. Every scene must have an exit hook. This includes a secret revealed, a cliffhanger, a clue, or a story twist.
Finally, while you perform a story edit, examine your settings. Settings are key to keeping your reader engaged, so don’t ignore them.
Is the location you chose the best place for emotional impact?
Each scene must take place somewhere, and each location has the potential to ramp up emotion. Often a writer doesn’t think hard enough about where a scene takes place and doesn’t end up using locations effectively. Does the location elicit emotion in the reader or the characters? If not, choose a different location.
Are there objects relevant to the plot or characterization in each scene?
Watch a film without props or a backdrop, and you’d probably get confused or bored. You’d just be watching actors on an empty stage, which would make it hard to believe the reality they’re trying to portray.
Readers are much more engaged in a story if they can imagine the setting that stirs their emotions.
Are some of the 5 senses used in every scene?
Sensory details keep the “stage” and characters interesting. Without them, both the setting and the characters will seem flat. Using the POV character’s senses to describe the action will bring your reader closer to the character. So ensure the senses used show characterization or move the plot forward.
Writing great chemistry can be challenging. If you’re not super inspired, sometimes the connection between your characters feels like it’s missing something.
Here are a few steps you can consider when you want to write some steamy romantic chemistry and can’t figure out what’s blocking your creativity.
Tropes have a bad reputation, but they can be excellent tools when you’re planning or daydreaming about a story. Giving the romance a name also assigns a purpose, which takes care of half the hard plotting work.
You can always read about love tropes to get inspired and think about which might apply to the characters or plot points you have in mind, like:
Friends to lovers
Enemies to lovers
First love
The love triangle
Stuck together
Forbidden love
Multiple chance love
Fake lovers turned soulmates
There are tooooons of other tropes in the link above, but you get the idea. Name the love you’re writing about and it will feel more concrete in your brain.
You should always spend time developing your characters individually, but it’s easy to skip this part. You might jump into writing the story because you have a scene idea. Then the romance feels flat.
The good news is you can always go back and make your characters more real. Give them each their own Word or Google doc and use character templates or questions to develop them.
You should remember to do this for every character involved in the relationship as well. Sometimes love happens between two people who live nearby and other times it happens by:
Being in a throuple
Being in a polyamorous relationship
Being the only one in love (the other person never finds out or doesn’t feel it back, ever)
There are so many other ways to experience love too. Don’t leave out anyone involved in the developing relationship or writing your story will feel like driving a car with only three inflated tires.
Whenever your characters get to talk, what’s at risk? This doesn’t have to always be something life changing or scary. Sometimes it might be one character risking how the other perceives them by revealing an interest or new fact about themselves.
What’s developing in each conversation? What’s being said through their body language? Are they learning if they share the same sense of humor or value the same foundational beliefs? Real-life conversations don’t always have a point, but they do in romantic stories.
Body language begins long before things get sexy between your characers (if they ever do). It’s their fingertips touching under the table, the missed glance at the bus stop, the casual shoulder bump while walking down the street.
It’s flushed cheeks, a jealous heart skipping a beat, being tongue tied because one character can’t admit their feelings yet.
If a scene or conversation feels lacking, analyze what your characters are saying through their body language. It could be the thing your scene is missing.
No love story is perfect, but that doesn’t mean your characters have to experience earth shattering pain either.
Make one laugh so hard that they snort and feel embarrassed so the other can say how much they love that person’s laugh. Make miscommunication happen so they can make up or take a break.
People grow through their flaws and mistakes. Relationships get stronger or weaker when they learn things that are different about them or that they don’t like about each other.
When you’re getting to know someone, you bond over the things you’re both interested in. That’s also a key part of falling in love. Have your characters fall in intellectual love by sharing those activities, talking about their favorite subjects, or raving over their passions. They could even teach each other through this moment, which could make them fall harder in love.
You learn a lot about someone when they’re around friends, acquaintances, and strangers. The chemistry between your characters may fall flat if they’re only ever around each other.
Write scenes so they’re around more people and get to learn who they are in public. They’ll learn crucial factors like the other person’s ambition, shyness, humor, confidence, and if they’re a social butterfly or wallflower.
Will those moments make your characters be proud to stand next to each other or will it reveal something that makes them second guess everything?
And of course, you can never forget to use sensory details when describing the physical reaction of chemistry. Whether they’re sharing a glance or jumping into bed, the reader feels the intensity of the moment through their five senses—taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell.
Characters also don’t have to have all five senses to be the protagonist or love interest in a romantic story. The number isn’t important—it’s how you use the ways your character interacts with the world.
-----
Anyone can write great romantic chemistry by structuring their love story with essential elements like these. Read more romance books or short stories too! You’ll learn as you read and write future relationships more effortlessly.
Never carry things on from the past. The past is gone. Every moment be rid of it, solved or unsolved. Drop it - and don’t carry parts because those parts won’t allow you to solve new problems that live in this moment. Live in this moment as totally as possible, and suddenly you will come to realized, that if you live it totally, it is solved. There is no need to solve it. Life is not a problem to be solved, it’s a mystery to be lived.

the elusive 7 act Structure
When human beings encounter the true meaning of life and purpose, there are no doubts. Soul and body are compromising together to give the best in a beautiful way
INSTRUCCIONES: Primero que nada Hi!.
Después déjeme decirle que para ver realísticamente este programa es necesario seguir las instrucciones al pie de la letra, y presionar los downloads al momento que se piden.
Me sigue en esta aventura?
En una época de engaño, decir la verdad es un acto revolucionario. George Orwell
.-Que son las Mil y Una Noches? Son una serie de relatos entre cristianos y seculares que relatan historias. Son variados, divergentes, surreales a veces, pero contados desde dos perspectivas diferentes. Es del lector crítico distinguir entre lo real y lo imaginario.
-No piensa usted que lo uno y lo otro no se lleva? Precisamente por ello se cuentan desde dos perspectivas diferentes, aunque puedo decir que a veces van juntos con pegados.
.- Cómo nace la historia? Bueno, es la historia de un super archirecontra chavo que va cantando por el mundo “somos exploradores venimos a cortar las flores” y en el camino se encuentra con otros que no les gusta su canto y no quieren que se escuche su melodia (aunque la canta) y eso lleva a toda una serie de suspicacias y argucias de otros para que el joven no cante su canto, que a unos gusta a otros no tanto. A medida que avanza, va escuchando los gritos, los llantos, los reflejos, los espejos, las alegrías, las risas, las llagas de otros que avientan en el camino, algunos en buena voluntad, otros no tanto, para que no llegue al final del camino ni exprese su canto. Pero en la historia también hay buenos que les encanta lo que hace porque su canto es un canto de libertad, es un canto de realidad, es un canto de verdad. Es también una historia de transformación y relata una evolución, y a medida que se madura, existen nuevos elementos que surgen y hacen amena la historia. La historia gusta porque finalmente hay muchos que se sienten indentificados en los caracteres y personajes y aporta un cierto tipo de realismo.
-Casos de la vida real? Mejor le prendemos a la TV, no? Es mejor ver las novelas con actores que no sean los nuestros porque hablar de lo nuestro aporta un cierto tipo de realismo, a veces crudo, que no estamos dispuestos a soportar.
.- Esta diciendo que evadimos la realidad? A veces preferimos los contenidos de los medios de comunicacion, a ver nuestras perspectivas personales, miento? Los medios ejercen una función narcotizante en la sociedad y las familias porque escinden y pulverizan lo que es realmente importante. Estamos más preocupados por Miley Cirus y su espectáculo grotesco e irreverente (aunque es una chulada la huerca) frente a una Taylor Swift con una bondad y una ligereza de pensamiento en libertad que suscita las envidias de otros artistas para aventarle “dirty, dirty lies about me” (Entre parentesis, como me dolió eso, ehe! Aventarle a mi artista favorita “dirty, dirty lies about me” pero la envidia tiene sus caminos y después escuche “Shake it off” que es una parodia muy buen producida, con una reacción genial de un artista a cantantes que le tenían envidia por los pronunciamientos que Taylor había hecho acerca de lo que pensaba de sus shows o personalidades (Es válido, no!) y sus visiones del mundo del espectáculo. Me gustó la reacción de Taylor Swift, trabajando y mostrando porque es genial. Como habla acerca de los haters and how she would just shake it off y se los pasa por debajo de sus pompis, genial, no?.... Shake it off, man!
Que gran pronunciamiento éste no piensa usted? (Para mayor explicación ver:)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM
I'm lightning on my feet And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own) I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go) And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
But I keep cruising Can't stop, won't stop grooving It's like I got this music In my mind Saying, "It's gonna be alright.")
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off)
Bueno volviendo al tema. O las novelas, especialmente de Televisa como “Cuando Me Enamoro”, “Llena de Amor”, “Triunfo del Amor”es preferible ver telenovelas a ver la cruda y personal realidad de nuestras vidas. Es más tolerante ver las historias destruidas de otros en TV, en un set predeterminado, que ver las nuestras propias. Como dije los medios de Comunicación narcotizan la mente, y permiten evadir las realidades personales…. Podemos ver la telenovela, mejor? Cuál mira usted?
.- Qué realidad personal evade usted? Al contrario, yo las enfrento y eso es lo que me gusta. No las oculto, no las postergo, no niego mis contradicciones tampoco. Si Dios lo sabe, que lo sepa el mundo, verdad?
.-Que hay de el Amor? Qué hay de el? Soy como el comegalletas, quiero galleta!, galleta! galleta! (No sea mal pensado)..., El amor es el único elemento, común a todos, del que necesitamos como el comer o respirar. Alguna vez hablé del amor y un compañero argentino del trabajo escuchó el comentario (y ya sabe como son los argentinos) dijo “Oye, que vos sonasteis como un experto en la materia, muy interesante el comentario, pero cómo lo hicisteis, qué talento!?”.
Como no sé si lo dijo en tono de mofa o en buen plan, porque lo dijo sonriendo, le arengué una chile mexicano a su plato y le conteste: Ya ves! Los amplios años de trabajo y experiencia en jardinería y construcción!
(Viene el audio de Naturaleza en el Amor. Lo ha escuchado?)
.- Ese comentario con el argentino sonó agresivo? Es usted así siempre? Mas bien es nacionalista.
.- Cómo es? Bueno, a los mexicanos nos enseñaron cada lunes a ser nacionalistas en las escuelas. Teníamos la Escuela Acuña que tenía una barda divisoria con otra escuela llamada “Ocampo” y al momento del receso, los niños de la Acuña tiraban piedras a la Ocampo y hacían unos chipototes que daban dolor de cabeza y ni Tylenol ni Mejoralito curaba. Así pues ya calentaba cuando salía sangre, y sangre se pagaba con sangre y entonces he aquí la clase del lunes al inciar las mañanas: “Mexicanos al grito de Guerra, el acero aprestad y el bridón… y el bridón convertirse en chapuzón de piedras y cañonazos que volaban vertiginosamente de un lado para otro, y después las maestras estirar las orejas diciendo “eso no se hace” aunque uno apelar al nacionalismo y ellas no entender nuestro patriotismo de “mexicanos al grito de Guerra….” Cómo ve, eramos populares, es decir, no de aplausos, sino que viviamos en colonia popular lo que aportaba un cierto tipo de encanto por la vida y los jugos de la vida se disfrutaban intensamente como la intensidad del futbol. La crema y la nata de la sociedad, ahí, en la intensidad de la vida popular.
- Qué experiencia mala ha tenido en su vida? No empecemos ehe! Y no le quiero comentar porque después dice usted que soy un “crying boy” y lo digo como manera de ponerme como victima, tomando la perspectiva de los herejes.
.- De qué habla? Se imagina usted que cuando Martin Luther King aparece en escena y discurre sobre una serie de atrocidades y aberraciones en una sociedad intolerante que no estaba dispuesta a cambiar su status quo ni sus motivaciones ni sus intereses (y hay veces que eso ocurre en las mejores familias, no la mía por supuesto que es modelo de decencia y pudor ni la de usted también para estar parejos) y que no otorgaba los derechos inalienables de los negros repentinamente vengan los blancos y digan “usted quiere aparecerse como victima” de nuestro sistema?... De risa, no? Qué aberración! Las cosas se discuten porque se piensa que las personas escuchan en buena fé, y se les da una oportunidad de hacer las cosas mejor bajo la manifestación de lo que se piensa inadecuado. Es una oportunidad de cambio! Oyó?... Oportunidad de cambio! Una amiga mía a quien le dije que su comentario causaba heridas dijo “Podemos empezar de Nuevo?” en un discurso en humildad y cariño que habla de un espacio compartido entre dos y permea la buena vountad; muy diferente al discurso yo-yo-ísta de “quieres hacerte la víctima” que habla de no escuchar y no desear un espacio para dos en fraternidad. Las verdaderas relaciones se construyen así, sin los mua-mua de fiestas sociales cuando verdaderamente importan los seres humanos. Eso es lo verdadero, no las reuniones sociales tipo “mua-mua”.
Here you will find some of the things that I really like. I like writing, music, poems, and producing any idea that comes to my mind. I hope you like it!
