Random Thoughts

Olen kuullut monta kertaa ruotsin olevan suomea helpompaa, joten tässä jaksossa pohdin miksi opiskella ruotsia ja miten ruotsi eroaa suomesta. Suomi on kaksikielinen maa, joten kielitestin voi suorittaa joko suomenkielisenä tai ruotsinkielisenä. Onko suomea todella liian vaikea oppia?

Éste, queridos amigos, es un episodio diferente a los demás. Porque hoy voy a hablar sobre nuestro camino financiero, un tema que nos atañe a todos, independientemente de nuestra cultura.  

Tanto los gurúes financieros como los libros que tratan sobre este tema, remarcan constantemente la necesidad de rodearse de gente con objetivos afines a los nuestros. Y esto implica, muchas veces, alejarnos un poco de nuestro entorno. Resulta coherente, ¿verdad? Uno siempre termina pareciéndose al promedio de las personas con las que más se relaciona. 

Por lo tanto, si nosotros deseamos cambiar nuestra realidad financiera, necesitamos un contexto acorde para lograrlo. Por ejemplo, una persona obesa que desea alimentarse mejor, no asistirá a una reunión con amigos a una pastelería. De este modo, debemos buscar grupos de gente con la que podamos compartir nuestro aprendizaje y experiencia financieros a fin de nutrirnos mutuamente. Podemos comenzar con nuestras redes sociales, buscar webinars, pequeños cursos que se ajusten a nuestro nivel, participar de masterminds, y obviamente, dedicarnos a leer un buen libro cada tanto sobre nuestro tema de interés. 

De esta forma, lograremos transformar progresivamente nuestros pensamientos, lo que nos permitirá acercarnos cada vez más a nuestro objetivo financiero. 

Y como dijo Menandro de Atenas alguna vez, “Bienaventurado el que tiene talento y dinero, porque empleará bien este último”.

Nuestro camino financiero

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."
