Bölüm 2 - Annemin İş ve Emeklilik Hayatı

Nació en la ciudad de Oaxaca el 15 de septiembre de 1830. Fueron sus padres José
Faustino Díaz y Petrona Mory. Ingresó al Instituto de Ciencias y Artes del Estado, para
seguir allí la carrera de leyes. Hizo amistad con Benito Juárez, quien entonces dirigía el
Instituto.
El primero de diciembre de 1854 el presidente convocó a un plebiscito para
afirmarse en el poder. Porfirio Díaz se negó a votar; y se pronunció a favor de que se le
entregara la presidencia a Juan Álvarez. Con tal motivo buscó refugio entre las
guerrillas adictas al Plan de Ayuda. Al triunfo de la revolución, Porfirio fue nombrado
jefe político del Distrito de Ixtán, asistió a una cátedra de estrategia y táctica, creada
por Benito Juárez e impartida por el teniente coronel Ignacio Uría. Como jefe político
de Ixtán, organizó la guardia nacional de su distrito.
Esto valió que el gobernador de Oaxaca, Benito Juárez, le otorgara implementos
de guerra para armar a sus hombres. Después de servir un año como jefe político, Díaz
entró al servicio activo del Ejército, con el grado de capitán de granaderos adscrito a la Guardia Nacional de
Oaxaca. En 1857 ocurrió la rebelión de los conservadores contra la Constitución promulgada ese año. Díaz quedó
entonces como gobernador y comandante militar de Tehuantepec. Díaz derrotó en Las Jícaras a los conservadores
(13 de abril de 1858), por cuyo triunfo ascendió a mayor de Infantería.
Se incorpora a las fuerzas del gobierno en Tlalixtac y con ellas avanzó sobre Oaxaca, a la que pusieron sitio
del primero de febrero al 11 de mayo de 1859, pero tuvieron que levantarlo ante la superioridad de los
conservadores. Perseguidos por éstos, Díaz les hizo frente en Ixtepeji y les infligió severa derrota. Una vez
reorganizadas sus fuerzas, tomó Oaxaca el 15 de mayo de 1860. En premio el presidente Juárez lo ascendió a
coronel efectivo. Fue electo diputado al Congreso de la Unión por el distrito oaxaqueño de Ocotlán. El 24 de junio

Do you believe people are born with a certain amount of ability and intelligence? Or do you think these things can be changed through effort and education?

Your answers to these questions may decide how well you chase your own goals in life!

Researchers in Norway looked at over 1,500 people aged 13 to 77.

Participants filled out a survey asking them questions about how much they think people's abilities and intelligence can grow with effort and education.

They also filled out two more surveys: one asking how passionate they are about the things they are interested in, and one asking how persistent — and consistent — they are in chasing their goals.

For example, they were asked how much they agree with statements such as, "I use a lot of time on the projects I like," for passion, and "I finish whatever I begin," for persistence.

The researchers then looked at the people who got the 5% highest and lowest scores for belief in people's ability to grow.

It was found that those with the greatest belief in growth also had significantly higher scores in passion and persistence.

Interestingly, although 60% of all the study participants were women, in the group with the lowest belief in growth almost 60% were men.

"The belief in growth is important for large parts of our society," said Hermundur Sigmundsson, one of the study's authors. "This is true for school, sports, work and family life."

The authors also pointed to other studies that have found that it's possible to help people believe in personal growth — particularly as children — and that this can result in greater persistence.

Looking at their own results, the researchers said it can be argued that belief in your ability to grow may be important for both passion and persistence.

However, they also noted that it could also be that passion, perseverance and belief in growth all support each other.
