Dentro de nuestra vida, conocemos a muchas personas las cuales van desde amigos, familiares, pareja, compañeros de trabajo, profesores, etc. Algunos de ellos llegan a nuestras vidas para quedarse para siempre, otros entran y salen en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

Por eso es muy importante siempre tener muy presente quienes son las personas que mas frecuentamos, ya que según el maestro y filósofo Jim Rhon, somos el promedio de las 5 personas con las que más nos llegamos a juntar en un periodo determinado de tiempo. Esta teoría no está muy equivocada, ya que muchas veces sin darnos cuenta comenzamos a tener ciertas características tales como formas de pensar, de actuar, o de ser que forman mucho de la personalidad de alguien más.

Contemplando la teoría de Rhon, podemos partir a una realidad mucho mayor, que es el hecho de que nosotros crecemos y llegamos a ser lo que somos en la vida gracias a todas las conexiones y relaciones que logramos fomentar a lo largo de nuestros años de vida. Es por ello que como lo comenta el consultor Sam Ovens, es muy importante el tener plasmado (no solo mentalmente, incluso en dibujo también), nuestra red social de un genio.

Se le adjudica este nombre debido a que se toma como ejemplo la vida de genios históricos, tales como Isaac Newton, quien da a entender que como genio es una persona ¨sola¨ sin embargo, Isaac Newton es una persona que llegó a tener conexiones en distintas etapas, con múltiples personalidades que le apoyaban de distintas maneras a llegar a tener todo el conocimiento y herramientas que lo compusieron. Es por eso que Ovens afirma, que los genios solos están en peligro de extinción, ya que hoy en día el ser un genio proviene de las conexiones que hacemos con otra gente, pero sobre todo por como dividimos esas conexiones.

(Dibujo: Red Social de un Genio/Social Network of a Genius)

Tomando en cuenta la referencia de Newton, podemos observar la manera en que el tenía dividido a toda su red social, ya que separaba amigos de seguidores, mentores de ídolos, asociados de colaboradores y de rivales. Inclusive, no son todas las categorías que podemos crear, de la misma forma podemos identificar quienes son las personas de nuestra familia que más nos aportan en todos los sentidos, si tenemos personas que aporten a nuestra salud física o mental, o inclusive gente que simplemente nos motiva por su forma de interactuar con nosotros.

Es por ello que es de alta importancia tener en claro quienes son aquellas personas que nos ayudan más a crecer en diferentes aspectos de vida en los cuales nos enfoquemos, los cuales debemos incluir de manera mas constante en nuestras vidas para que el efecto que causen en nosotros sea mucho mayor en el largo plazo, y siempre buscando claro, el efecto de crecimiento personal.

Si logramos aplicar el principio de la red social de un genio en nuestras vidas siguiendo el ejemplo de Newton, podremos llegar a más sin darnos cuenta de que las personas que nos rodean nos están empujando hacia nuestro objetivo de buena forma. Al final, no son las 5 personas con las que mas nos rodeamos únicamente, es toda una red de personas que influye en nosotros de distintas maneras en el día a día que debemos de cuidar y elegir de forma muy sabia a la gente que formará parte de nuestra red social de un genio.

Al final del día, no es nada que no sepamos. Como nos decían muchos de nuestros padres o relativos: ¨Dime con quien te juntas, y te diré quien eres.¨

Nowadays, Mexican people find themselves in the middle of a political candidate race to the presidency of the country, in which we can take into account that AMLO is the strongest competitor amongst all of them. But, what makes him have a 46.2% of lead in this important road to the presidency? Well, we need to know, that this is his third attempt to be the president of the Mexican republic since the past two election years he has lost against the two major political parties of Mexico (PRI-PAN).

So everybody can start to wonder, why he has not taken out the white flag on being president if he has lost 2 straight times already? Well, this is a pretty good strategy that not all of the people are aware of. The past 12 years in Mexico have not been their best years, not their worst also, but definitely not their best. AMLO has taken a big advantage mostly on the notable increment in corruption, crime & violence, and most importantly for Mexican people, the lack of fulfillment on the promises presidential candidates make every 6 years for their country.

People may not see what´s behind the presidential candidate, but for the past 12 years, taking in advantage all the bad things that happened in Mexico, as said before, since he has been traveling all around the country speaking to people and winning their hearts making them promises, acting as ´part´of them, and then winning over credibility on his words due to all the bad things that happened along the road in this years in Mexico. He calls himself a ¨the voice¨ Of all the victims that have suffered in some way over the past period of time in the country. The big problem is that his major audience in the country is made up of mostly people in poverty conditions, we are talking of an approximate number of 54 million people that live in poverty plus another 9 million that are in extreme poverty conditions. All over Mexico he goes telling this people primarily that he is a true lover of the country, and that he is ending up with all crime and violence caused by the other political parties. AMLO is taking an advantage on this amount of people, and he may not be the best candidate but these people know that, despite his mistakes in the past, his words are ¨full¨ of truth. (who knows…).

So, is AMLO a good option for Mexico? In my humble opinion, I can just let my fellow Mexican citizens and the whole world one thing, we live in a world that is fully loaded (although not seen much) of Communist parties and people who support this type of groups. All that I know, is what we all know. How has been the crucial and awful situations that our brothers and sisters from Cuba and Venezuela have suffered throughout the years; And this is not something the world should be proud/happy of. Political candidates like AMLO promote communism, they act as part of the people and swear to be their voice and do as the majority says, but it is important to know that communism (as seen in recent history) normally ends up being a complete dictatorship/disaster. MORENA, (AMLO´s political party), is an active member of the Sao Paolo forum, which is an organization that gathers all Latin-America´s political parties who support communism and fight against capitalism and socialism. This group was created mainly by Fidel Castro Ruiz, the man who was in charge of creating a dictatorship in Cuba and leading them towards their worst years of life in history. Nicolás Maduro, dictator of Venezuela is also on the list. I think we don´t need more information or references rather than this ones to prove that most people/parties that are part of this organization don´t tend to be the best for any country, so Mexican people, think about it and take it into account…

In Mexico, the same as many countries in the world, people are scared to vote because they are tired of having the same problems repeatedly, and most importantly those problems incrementing gradually. But, if you (as a person who want’s to vote but has not a clear vote) want to make your life easier think about it in this simple way: Imagine you are the owner of a very big business, and you are searching for a very good candidate for a very important position (let´s say for the sake of the example, CEO). You have chosen your options down to 5 people, and this is pretty simple, you need to choose the person who is going to make a better contribution to the job you need, that is why you do not want to hire someone who has no working experience at all, or the one who has lack of studies/knowledge in the major area of their position. You want and need to hire that person who is more prepared (study wise), who has a complete experience working on a job related to this position, but most importantly you need that knowledge about this person to be the one you perceive, and be fully convinced that it is the most prepared and capacitated person to handle such important job, just as if he/she was the president.

¨I’ve seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are.¨
