There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you can alter the difficulties, or you
can alter yourself to meet the difficulties.

The marriage between the intellect and the senses comes to an end with the
invention of modern science. Sajay Samuel follows a long tradition of historians
of science and of scientists alike [comparable] in making Galileo the archetype
of the new attitude.
David Cayley
Mathematical ideas, Sajay Samuel says, are freely created by the mind. This does
not mean, obviously, that mathematics has no purchase on the world. That
mathematical ideas mysteriously correspond with the cosmos had been known
since antiquity [ancient times]. What was new in the 17th century was the
thought that these timeless forms could be applied to the living, ever-changing
world of earthly nature. And it took a bold [confident] step to get to this idea,
Sajay Samuel thinks, because, during the Middle Ages, mathematical
knowledge, particularly geometry, had been considered god-like [as god].

of the ways it can be used one to:
You can combine two or more of these objectives in a research project, with
sometimes one objective needing to be successfully achieved before starting the
next, for example you usually need to be able to explain how something
happens before you can work out [resolve] how to control it.

Some students undertake [agree to] research without any aim possibly because
of not being able to think of anything else to do. Such students can also become
good researchers by motivating themselves toward a respectable goal. As
pointed out [indicates] by Prof. Rajesh Kasturirangan (NIAS, IISc) even if you
work in a company or run a company, a mind inclined towards research would
do better than a mind not trained for it.

Ted has been a field representative for a major drug manufacturer since he
graduated from college seven years ago. He makes daily calls on physicians,
hospital, clinics, and pharmacies. Ted’s sales of his firm’s major drugs have
increased, and he has won three national sales awards given by the
organization. Yesterday, Ted was promoted to sales manager for a seven-state
region. He’ll no longer be selling but instead will be managing 15 other
representatives. His sales team includes men and women, Caucasians,
Hispanics, Blacks, and Asians. Ted accepted the promotion because he believes
he knows how to motivate and lead salespeople. He comments, “I know the
personality of the salesperson. They are special people. I know their values and
attitudes and what it takes to motivate them. I know I can motivate a sales
force.”
Once Sandra completed her MBA, she was more positive than ever that
marketing would be her life’s work. Because of her excellent academic record,
she received several outstanding job offers. She accepted an offer from one of
the nation’s largest consulting firms, believing that this job would allow her to
gain experience in several areas of marketing and to engage in a variety of
exciting work. Her last day on campus, she told her favorite professor, “This
has got to be one of the happiest days of my life, getting such a great career
opportunity.” Recently, while visiting the college placement [employment]
office, the professor was surprised to hear that Sandra had told the placement
director that she was looking for another job. Since she’d been with the
consulting company less than a year, the professor was somewhat [to a certain
degree] surprised. He called Sandra to find out [discover] why she wanted to
change jobs. She told him, “I guess [predict] you can say my first experience
with the real world was a ‘reality shock.’ All day long, I sit and talk on the
phone, asking questions and checking off the answers. In graduate school, I was
trained to be a manager, but here I’m doing what any high school graduate can
do. I talked to my boss, and he said that all employees have to pay their dues
[responsibilities]. Well, why didn’t they tell me this while they were recruiting
me? A little bit of accurate communication would have gone along [stayed on]
way.”

Once the KM strategy is defined, the organization will have a road [path] map

in such a way as to support long-term business objectives. The strategy is used
to define a plan of action by undertaking [agreeing to] a gap [space] analysis.
The gap analysis involves establishing the current and desired states of
knowledge resources and KM levers [controls]. Specific projects are then
defined in order to address specific gaps that were identified and agreed upon
as being high-priority areas.

One of the very best ways to clear your mind and build your confidence in your
ability to solve the problem is to quickly use the four-part worry-buster formula.
Here it is:
1. Stop and identify the worst possible outcome [result] of the problem or
crisis. Be perfectly honest with yourself and others. Ask, ‘‘What is the
worst thing that can happen in this situation?’’
2. Resolve to accept the worst, whatever it is, should it occur. This action
calms you down [through] and clears your mind. Once you have mentally
decided that you can live with the worst possible outcome, you will stop
worrying.

Innovation - Uniformity (i.e. if everybody behaves and thinks the same), will
lead to a poor adaptation to changing environmental or market conditions. In
contrast, a large variety of different approaches (i.e. a heterogeneous
population) will imply a large innovation rate. The innovation rate is actually
expected to be proportional to the variance of individual solutions.
Innovation - Much has been written on how to facilitate and nurture innovation
in organizations, but the concepts are often disaggregated [separated] and
analyzed as individual processes, practices or measures. This fails to take into
account the complexity of interconnectedness and interdependence which both
creativity and innovation entail [involve] …

… The first idea is that countries are sovereign, and hence [from now] have
control of their own destinies, but also that the best exercise of sovereignty is to

place voluntary and mutual limits on their exercise of that sovereignty.
International law thus needed to be devised [planned] and respected, including
the forms and norms of diplomacy, protocol, treaties, conferences and
eventually the establishment of international organizations.

President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto
Enrique Peña Nieto; born 20 July 1966, commonly referred to by his initials EPN,
is a Mexican politician who served as the 57th President of Mexico, from 2012
to 2018. He previously served in the State of Mexico as Secretary of
Administration (2000–2002), Representative (2003–2004), and State Governor
(2005–2011).

Peña Nieto gives his last report at the National Palace today. Peña Nieto points
to structural reforms as his greatest achievement.
In his final report to the nation, president concedes that security objectives were
not met.
President Enrique Peña Nieto declared today that the structural reforms put in
place by the current federal government are the greatest achievements of his
administration but conceded that security was not a strong suit [ensemble].
The president made the remarks during an address to lawmakers — and the
nation — in which he presented his sixth and final government report.
“The structural reforms are without doubt the biggest success of this
administration, and are our contribution to the country’s future growth.”
He also noted that last year the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) described the package of reforms as the most ambitious
reform agenda any member country has undertaken in recent years.
On security, Peña Nieto said “we didn’t achieve the objective of restoring peace
and security for all Mexicans in every corner [of the country].”
He added that “to make that desire a reality, a sustained effort for a long period
supported by public resources will be required.”
Peña Nieto described the new accusatory justice system as “the most important
[legal] change in more than a century” although he conceded it was
“perfectible.”
In contrast, a report published by the Washington Post last December said the
system was in turmoil [turbulence].
Turning to social policy achievements, Peña Nieto said that more than two
million people had come out [come to light] of extreme poverty during his six-
year term, adding that if the same rate of poverty eradication continues to be
maintained, no Mexicans would live in extreme poverty by the end of the next
decade.
“We planted the most important seed of change in public education in Mexico
in the last 60 years,” he said.
With regard to the economy, Peña Nieto said that financial, telecommunications
and energy reforms are starting to produce results and have opened up new
opportunities, while he also stressed [emphasized] that the trade agreement
reached last week with the United States reduced economic uncertainty
[insecurity].
In addition, he cited the trade agreement with the European Union, the Trans-
Pacific Partnership and the strengthening of trade relations in Latin America as
achievements of his administration along with investment in infrastructure,
tourism and agriculture.
However, a devaluation of the peso of almost 50% during his term and anemic
average economic growth of 2.1% during his first five years in office provided
nothing to brag [talk big] about.
Peña Nieto said that he was leaving “a manageable and declining level of debt”
although government debt as a percentage of gross [heavy] domestic product
(GDP) actually increased during his administration from 33.8% in 2012 to 45.4%
by mid-2018.
The president, who will leave office at the end of November, also congratulated
his successor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who will be sworn [affirmed] in
on December 1 and has pledged [promised] to stamp out [eradicate] corruption
and review or change some of Peña Nieto’s key reforms.
“When my administration ends, I will have fulfilled 97% of the promises I made
to the public.”

«I formulated a project for the CBTIS (Technological Industrial and of Services Center of
Bachelor Degree) 107 of Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, México consisting in giving to the Library of this
Institution with five volumes of English language, of my authorship. A book for each semester,
from the first English book to fifth English book (according to the plan of studies in this regard
of the CBTIS). At no cost to the Institution, because this is a donation (in the staff, I solve my
expenses of the project with income of my employment as a professor that I would be in this
CBTIS).
One of the major advantages of this project is to solve the need of the student of
spending in books of English language because the books will be at your complete disposal into
the student community in the Library of the institution.
Afterward, in an immediate subsequent phase of this project is that among the student
community of this CBTIS and all the CBTIS of the United Mexican States will have these 5
volumes of English language by means of a page of Google; read it, neither cost nor restriction
to obtain them.
Well, as a last note, I must say that these books will have the format of 'workbook'.
This, as an intelligent work with foundations and then their respective exercises to resolve, into
a concurrent process». M.C. Enrique Ruiz Díaz.
