This I believe

Julie Kendrick supports that soup is a common meal which brings together friends and makes each one of them feel comfortable and connected with the other. She says that it's warmth makes you want to talk about life and share stories or annecdotes. She also claims that soup could be a tradition between people for example here in Argentina with asado or mate.

Grit's video

I actually liked all the video, because it's true, if you are not committed to complete or follow a goal you won't be able to do want you want in the future, and you might regret it.

On the test I scored 4.5.

I try to have grit and motivation because i can get a little distracted of what is more important .I personally have the goal to become an English Translator, because I love english and I feel passion when I learn it, so I would love to complete my goal and work from something that i feel passionate about.

Sixty Second Idea to Improve the World

Katherine's idea is to invent a device which can detect when your brain is stressed and tired and automatically block all kind of new information. It might work by sensing physical signs of stress and tiredness such as blood pressure. She says that there's nothing we could do to stop it and she thinks that this device is necessary because we don't take time to rest for ourselves when everything is getting too much. She also claims that the more stressed and tired we are, the more likely we are to check on emails, twitter and facebook.

Malcom thinks that it's a great idea, but he says that he checks obsessively his emails and if he wouldn't do it the problem would be that there will be twice as many emails than the day before so he'd get more stressed out.

Ian thinks it's a wonderful idea because the interesting thing is that when this breaks happen, because your computer shuts down or like a storm they've had in the UK which stopped people from travelling to work, they enjoyed that "natural break" where they could talk to neighbours and have a little time for themselves.

Weird News

Ariana Grande, the singer, made an interview for a magazine in which she explains that she had a ghost/demon experience. She starts saying that she was in Kansas City and she went to a hunted castle (with her friends). The next night she and her friends wanted to go to the Stull Cementary. On their way, they started to smell sulfur, which is a sign of the demon, and then, out of nowhere, a fly appeared in the car, also a sign of the demon. They were so terrified that they decided to leave, but first Ariana took a photo and three faces were captured in the picture.
 After some days, Ariana was going to sleep and in the moment she closed her eyes, she heard a really loud and deep sound, but when she opened them it stopped, so she closed them again and she started listening whispers. Everytime she closed her eyes she kept seeing images with red shapes, and from one moment to another she sees a black matter moving.
She started crying, but she tried to calm down, she didn't want to disturb this black cloud. Finally she fell asleep and when she woke up in the morning, it was gone.
