Puppets, Cooking and Hard Work.

"All things are difficult before they are easy."—Thomas Fuller

All things are difficult before they are easy. I learned it the hard way. For instance, playing a videogame that includes a story (let it be Donkey Kong 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) is harder when you are six than when you have six years gaming. Or take swimming; it's easier once you know how to rather than learning. And it gets easier just by a single way: working hard.

Hard work was what made Kevin (aka Chiclayo) get a better-paying job in La Cocina. He came from northern Perú to the capital following his dream of having his own place (a good job he liked came in the package) and he did. He worked hard, and he got what he wanted. And an orderly chaotic job with dysfunctional coworkers.

Hard work is key in the IB if you want to get good grades. Even if your teacher doesn't. Which includes classwork, homework, and of course, the Extended Essay. Regarding homework, I'm conscious that I'm not working as hard as I should; and this is why I'm getting behind in my research task: I've got problems with the index cards, the closest place where I can get the play I chose is in Mexico, and books with actual information about Talchum are scarcer than it seems. I'm also probably the one with the less advanced puppet of the group, I haven't even pasted the nose. I seriously need to stop lazying around.

Well, that's it for today (will probably continue on the comments) yet I'll leave you with one question. Before I do, however, I'll ask you to comment on the new background of the blog. Is it going on the right direction? It will probably be changed, however.

Anyways, here it goes. Are you motivated enough so you actually start working hard?
