Reading challenges
The first feeling that I perceive when I see the topic “Reading challenges” is to go
for it! No fear, no tiredness, no fatigue, no anything. I consider myself as an 8 ranking 1
to 10 of emotion. I get very captive reading challenges that really call my attention. If
there is something that I like is to be challenged not only by actions or any other
commitment, but to read that something that would provide that wisdom and knowledge.
There is an old saying that says that “the more you read, the wiser you become”.
I like spending time reading when I want to just relax. Might be under a tree, or
just a quite and peaceful ambient with natural light where I start asking myself a lot of
questions trying to understand and connect with the writer. My emotions seem to go all
around the word, knowing that every second that passes by it’s not being waste.
Sometimes I get mad, sad, melancholic, or just satisfied and full of more to share with
every else.
Understanding your needs and making changes
About understanding my needs and makings changes; I believe that sometimes
making some changes its good and sometimes its bad, but understanding your needs is
the first step to make a wise decision in any change. See, people go crazy wanting to
make some changes, and buy houses, cars, business, anything, but without first
reasoning about what’s best for the family or either itself.

2. I don’t mind making changes, I think that it will even put you in a higher step of
living life, or finance situation. Whatever it’s the reason, as long as first I have my
priorities well done organized and clear, I will make any change I want.
How feelings connect study success
I believe that always being in a good mood or having a positive attitude will really
project you to be a successful student. This is one of those things that I like to keep in
mind, and it’s that no matter what circumstance I am or any worry I might have, I’m not
going to let that affect the way I feel and be an obstacle. I think about where I want to
get, and who I want to be once I finish my career, instantly it awakes good feelings
inside of me and inspire me to keep going until I accomplish my dreams.
When I’m feeling tired, sad, or any other negative feeling, I just start remember
myself that when I slow down the speed of my effort on my studies, the most long its
going to be for me to finish what I have started.
