Free topic: Origami

Hello everyone, I hope you have a good weekend. This week  I’m gonna talk about my favorite hobby: Origami.

Origami is one of my favorite hobbies because you can do it anywhere and anytime you have free time, all you need is a sheet of paper and the desire to learn something new.

I know it may sound a bit boring but (and trust me) there is no better feeling than finishing a difficult origami project and seeing your finished work. It won't always look the same as the picture or video you follow the instructions from but according to me that's part of the fun, as you practice more you can see your progress through your finished figures.



At first they will end up a little crooked, wrinkled, bumpy, etc, (you know, not perfect), but when you try again they get a little better and so on until they are just how you thought they should look.

Now this is not an activity for the easily frustrated, you have to be patient with yourself and the time you need to learn, it is not a skill that you can push to do faster.

If you are interested in learning, I have a few tips that you may be interested in knowing:


  1. The arrows have meaning. Most books and pictures with instructions come with basic arrow language so you know what kind of fold was done to get to the next step in the picture (books usually leave a whole section just to explain this).

  1. If you're looking for instructions from a picture or a book, try looking for illustrations that show both sides of the paper in the instructions so you don't get lost between steps. (like the picture above).

  2. Choose easy projects at first, do not rush, you are learning a new skill, if you go headlong to the most difficult ones you will only end up frustrated because you do not have the basics.

  3. Choose the right paper, the more details the final piece has means there are more folds and if the paper you are practicing on is very flimsy or thick the final result will be much more difficult to achieve, most likely the paper will tear or you get frustrated before you can finish it. 

  4. Practice makes perfect, this is a skill that is earned through error and repetition. As you practice you will be able to see how certain parts that were difficult for you become automatic when you follow the steps.

Through perseverance and patience you will be able to do things like this:

    I remember when I was little I had an origami book because I always wanted to learn how to do it well but the desire left me when I began to understand how difficult it was, without a doubt it shows that you have dedicated many hours in your life

HealthCare System and because it is the basis of a country

  As we all know, a country is made up of the people who live in it. That is why I am absolutely convinced that the healthcare system is the pillar to determine the quality of a country. Now hear me out, have you noticed that the countries with a better quality of life have a higher quality of healthcare system, this is not a coincidence. Take Greenland for example, where the overall life expectancy is higher than the world average by 1.4 years (that 's crazy!), and that's because it's free (up to a point), including prescription drugs and other medical supplies. Let's compare with Chile, where we have a mixed health care system, one public (FONASA) and one private (ISAPRE) and where the overall life expectancy is the same as the world average . Did you know? FONASA is ranked by the World Health Organization in 33rd out of 190 countries and ISAPRES cannot be ranked because their care varies according to medical treatment (And you might ask yourself "how, despite ...

Education

  Hello everyone, I hope you have a great weekend . Today I am going to answer (according to my opinion) the following question: Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious? This is a tricky question, since the quality of education does not depend only on the resources that the school can provide to the students, nor how good the teachers are, but also on the vulnerability of the sector in which it is located, not it is the same to teach a student who grew up in a stable and safe environment as one who grows up in a violent and/or poverty environment. Despite this, it can be observed in Chile that from the first steps of the introduction of the educational system to the student (aka the kindergarten) that the one with more resources will have a better education, either because of the extra material and of better quality for study or better study conditions, as we advance in the school system this difference becomes larger and larger (especially mi...
