Going Back in Time

Viewers, spectators, readers, a moment from before, that today we take for granted, a trip to an old-fashioned time that most of us don't use anymore, but it is still important.

Labor intensive, hours and hours of machinery working, high ceilings surrounding the printing press, pressing down on each sheet of paper, three different colors, blue, yellow, red. Manpower making sure there is no errors.

All the moving pieces coming together at once, several heads working, and only for one purpose, to create one great newspaper.

Dark photography rooms with access to the photos that reveal our day-to-day local struggles/scandals as well as around the world.

Different sections, the front page, metro and state, sports and fashion, giving us the greatest events that are happening daily around us.

You cannot describe this experience with words, you have to go and experience the sentiment yourself. The odor, the ink, the touchy-sensation of the paper when is on your hand after it freshly come out of the printing press, the things that compost a newspaper, it is indeed something that we have forgotten about. 

Overwhelming, big and spacious, but yet at the same time the right amount of space needed, in order to put such a great team into collaboration together, to where several minds work as one.

Our century indeed has forgotten, our new generation,  the use of electronics, which has let us to achieve the same purpose, but how did you use to feel when your fingers touched the pages of a news paper several years ago?  while having a cup of coffee, tea, a glass of juice, or water. It's an experience that you will never have again, and the only way to experience it again it's by doing what you've already done in the pass. 

Keep it alive! 

Commitment

Whenever you find your passion, commit to what you think is better for you. At the end, anything that satisfy your soul will accomplish that desire. How do you see yourself? What can you do? 

Maybe a little running or maybe a few seat-ups while watching tv. Anything is possible, and if I can do it, you can do it. 

Remember your childhood dreams, and the things that made you who you are today. Look at the people around you. A better life come to those that are willing to do the hard part of the deal. Less health problems, a better chance to stay alive in a healthy way! 

Now, do you think you can commit? Well, I think so! 

A passion, dwelling inside of you, an animal that wants to come out, but you don't let it. Today is that day, the day when you say, I will commit, I will change my future and forget about my pass, I will overcome every obstacle, I can do it! I can do it all! 

Love, is a part of you, is a part that you don't only feel it when presented a woman, or in a relationship, love is taking care of yourself, your body, your soul, your mind. 

Be strong, be you, commit! 

Company Trip! for Free!!!

As I'm doing my daily duties at work and engaging every customer with my full attention in order to help each and everyone I encounter, my General Manager (GM) calls me to his office with a very strict voice to make it sound as if I have done something wrong. Well, as I get inside the office I say "Hello, how are you doing?" and he says, "Luis, Luis, Luis..." and so I'm nervous and think something is really wrong; when all of the sudden my GM says, "You won it man!" and I had no idea of what he was talking about…

Anyways, long story short, I won a trip to Puerto Rico for 5 days all inclusive, resort, travel fair, food, and a lot of other things that I've gotten along the way, but the most important thing is, that it was not only for me, it was all inclusive for me and someone else of my choosing to take with me to the beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

As you may know I speak Spanish, it is my native language. In Puerto Rico, people speak Spanish, which is their native language as well. 

I'm super excited, I never thought that just because you do your job, you'll get compensated. Now, this only happens when you give 110% with everything that you do. My favorite words, coming from my father are; Choices, and Commitment. 

PS: Can't wait to be at the beach!!!
