15.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;Para hacer el
procedimiento, que se desarrolló en Italia y que realizó Pérez por primera vez
en Estados Unidos, se escogió a la paciente de 60 años Sharron “Kay” Thornton
-que quedó ciega en el 2000 debido al síndrome Stevens-Johnson.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

15.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;Pérez explicó, en
entrevista con El Nuevo Día, que esa condición provoca una quemadura en la córnea,
que se cicatriza y queda totalmente sin lágrimas. Como resultado, no le entra
luz al ojo y la persona, aunque tenga la retina y el resto del órgano
saludable, no puede ver. Puede ser provocada por una reacción a medicamentos,
como algunos anticonvulsivos, organismos como el herpes viral, o como resultado
de una quemadura química o termal, como les ha sucedido a soldados.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Eye Institute, en Miami, “estábamos cansados de no hacer nada con estos
pacientes y, después de revisar la literatura, fui a Roma y ahí me convencí”. Pérez
fue a adiestrarse con el apoyo del jefe del departamento, el cubano-boricua
Eduardo Alfonso, y al regreso “era obvio que teníamos que formar un grupo.
Somos tres, el cirujano maxilofacial Yoh Fawatari, el cirujano plástico Tom
Johnson y yo”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

15.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;El fin principal
del procedimiento es permitir la entrada de luz al ojo, lo que requiere poner
un cilindro óptico frente a la córnea, pero necesitan un soporte. Para eso es
que usan el diente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

15.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;Pérez explicó que
el procedimiento comenzó con la remoción de un pedazo de mucosa oral, del área
del cachete, que se colocó en la superficie ocular para que produzca fluidos
que la humedezcan. Luego, sacaron un colmillo, el cual se limó, se agujereó y
al que se le colocó un cilindro óptico. Ese diente se ubicó por dos meses
debajo de la clavícula para evitar posible rechazo y, luego, se colocó encima
del ojo. Esta última etapa se realizó el 7 de septiembre.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

quitamos el vendaje, yo creía que (la oportunidad de éxito) era 50 y 50. No sabía
qué iba a pasar y fue increíble. Le puse un antibiótico que es amarillo y ella
me dijo: ‘Eso es amarillo’ y todo el mundo empezó a llorar”, recordó Pérez.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacingCxSpFirst" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;By Sarai Ambert-Pompey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacingCxSpFirst" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;We have come a long way. We can vote, we wear pants
but we are still viewed out of place in the workplace by some. A majority that
thinks we should stay at home baking cookies and raising kids as what they
think God intended.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;My aim is not
to change minds but to give a quick perspective into my own balancing act.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;Passionate
path&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;Motherhood with a career, wifely duties, community, and
self respect, together in the land of equality is often a misunderstood
combination. Someone asked rhetorically, “when is the appropriate time for a
woman doctor to have kids?” Another person said after taking some time to think
about it, “when is it ever?” It &lt;em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;is&lt;/em&gt;
allowed by law, but, when is it &lt;em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;consider&lt;/em&gt;
appropriate? How many times do they look at applicants and they notice she is a
mother or a wife and they wonder, “Will she be able to go through with it?” I
do not intend to offend anyone with my path. I want to do what I love, live
passionately. I walk a passionate path with determination and dedication
without sacrificing my integrity and family.&lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
normal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;Strive for
greatness&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;I am not perfect. No one is. Although we have
limitations, we can strive for greatness in whatever is important to us. It may
sound optimistic but a well plan schedule and the ability to adapt when necessary
and can take us closer to goals pragmatically. These are skills I learned
competing in Judo in college. I like to cook on the weekends, cooking is a
family legacy. Most of my study I do during the week. I like some weekend
outings to the park, beach, or just hanging out at a bench somewhere with the
family and friends. During vacation time, we visit our families including all
our nieces and I indulge on old fashion home cooking and old embarrassing stories
from our childhood. The visits include occasional discussion about nutrition,
my father’s obsession, followed by who has what disease in the family or
showing me a weird rash. (I think every medical student has had that happened
to them.) It is not about reaching greatness but try our sincere hardest to
reach for it. All my life I have always been a curious person. I love learning
and I love helping others as best I can.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;The great
balancing act&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;I have been called a failure already because I do not
have straight A’s. Sure A’s are fabulous but not at the expense of neglecting
my family and myself. I enjoy spending at least one meal a day with my family
and talking about anything. My main focus in school is to learn my craft, and
learn it well. Grades are relative and certainly not objective of our
capabilities. A well balance education should also include community service
and extracurricular work. I get to know the community I will service and fine
tune qualities necessary to maximize my future residency experience and career
in general and that will help me to achieve my goals happily. Happiness is a
very important influence in our lifelong decision or at the very least it should
be a consideration. Balance implies prioritizing my time. I may not attend this
one party but I get to get my work done and family time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial"&gt;My daughter taught me things schools could not about
development of mind, body and soul of a human being. At the same time, she
helped me solidify the knowledge I did learn from Obstetrics, Development, and
Pediatrics. I am lucky to have made the time to enjoy her and our family life. The
early mornings I do not get to see my daughter because of a clerkship schedule,
I am confident that she will be okay because my husband will make sure of it. I
can always count on him to care for both myself and our daughter. This enables
me to dedicate lots of time to study at home with frequent snack, bathroom,
hugging and “kissing and making it all better” breaks. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:

can only speak for myself and hope to help other put into perspective other’s
place in this society. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;My place is
exactly where I was meant to be. I was born to be all these things. I get to do
what I love, my dream career and my dream family. Regardless of how I am viewed
I do my best to reach my own high standards. And I &lt;em style="mso-bidi-font-style:

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;''¿Cuáles
son las raíces del comportamiento destructivo? ¿Cómo podemos controlar las
emociones que gobiernan esos impulsos? ¿Podemos aprender a vivir en paz con
nosotros mismos y con los demás?''.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;En el
libro Emociones destructivas (2006), Daniel Goleman subraya aquello que los
budistas han denominado como los ''Tres Venenos'' de la humanidad: el odio, el
deseo y la ignorancia. Típicamente, estos denominados ''venenos'' -cuyo efecto
se incrementa cuando sucumbimos a los denominados ''excesos''- pueden estar
asociados a una serie de emociones ''negativas'', entre las cuales, no pasará
desapercibido el tan temido coraje. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;Aunque el
coraje puede convertirse en una herramienta positiva para enfrentar ciertos
obstáculos o para ser capaz de perseverar ante situaciones difíciles, puede
transformarse, a su vez, en un arma mortal si se utiliza vilmente en contra de
una persona o de uno mismo. Tomando en cuenta estos aspectos, resulta sabio
preguntarse lo siguiente: en estos momentos de su vida, ¿qué situaciones específicas
no marchan como usted espera? ¿Qué emociones le detienen y no le permiten
evolucionar en su misión de vida? ¿Qué decisiones son prioridad en su trabajo y
están paralizadas por el efecto de las emociones ''destructivas''? ¿Cómo
influye el coraje en sus decisiones o en su relación con los demás? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;A continuación,
encontrará algunas alternativas para lidiar con el poderoso bebedizo del
coraje, esa emoción embriagadora que llega a nuestras vidas de manera
imprevista:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;1.
Reconozca su estado de coraje e identifique su fuente de origen: Esta emoción
transitoria que experimenta, ¿está asociada a una persona o un evento? ¿Corresponde
a alguna situación no resuelta o a un hecho del pasado? Cuando siente coraje, ¿dónde
lo siente? Si le otorgara un color a su coraje, ¿cuál sería? ¿Qué situaciones
incrementan su coraje (disminución de horas de sueño, que no haya podido
almorzar o cenar, que algún ruido le perturbe cuando lleva a cabo determinada
tarea y otros). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;2.
Establezca la diferencia entre actuar y reaccionar: Muchas veces actuamos de
forma impensada, en vez de actuar con responsabilidad. Para actuar -en vez de
reaccionar- resulta necesario centrarse en la situación que provoca el coraje,
las acciones que lo propiciaron y los asuntos relacionados: no coloque toda su
atención y energía en la persona. Recuerde: su coraje no corresponde
necesariamente al individuo identificado, sino a una acción o evento asociado
que puede ser resuelto si asume responsabilidad –la capacidad de responder por
sus actos. Establezca un espacio propicio al diálogo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;3. Nivele
su estado de coraje: Si se siente fuera de control, le recomiendo que practique
el hábito de tomar una respiración profunda en situaciones similares. Posterior
a varias respiraciones, cuente hasta veinte y piense en un momento de su vida
en que se haya sentido totalmente relajado. Tenga siempre esta imagen lista
para que pueda evocarla en momentos de este tipo. En algunas ocasiones, es
necesario alejarse de la situación y la persona involucrada hasta que se sienta
preparado para enfrentarlas con madurez: a algunos individuos les resulta
adecuado esperar un mínimo de 24 horas. Le recomiendo que hable con una tercera
persona de confianza. Colóquese, además, en los zapatos de la persona
involucrada: ¿qué situaciones puede que usted desconozca sobre esta persona,
que de alguna manera le permitan a usted comprenderle más allá de esta situación
de coraje? Aprenda a mirar a los otros con los ojos del amor incondicional. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;4. ¡Escriba
y libérese!: El papel puede ser un instrumento muy valioso para descargar
nuestro coraje. Escriba todo aquello que le perturba, sin editar. Una vez
finalice, elimínelo o rómpalo en pedacitos. No descargue su coraje al entregar
su narrativa y la catarsis allí plasmada a la persona que usted asume como ''la
que le provocó'' el coraje. La energía ni se crea, ni se destruye: mejor transfórmela
en una experiencia de crecimiento. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:ES-PR"&gt;5. Conviértase
en recurso de apoyo para que otros manejen su coraje: Sea capaz de escuchar
activamente a aquellas personas que han pasado por una situación similar. Permítale
que hable, se desahogue y termine su discurso, antes de usted sugerir algo o
interrumpirle abruptamente. Muestre empatía: ''está bien sentirse enojado, es
natural que esto suceda''. No utilice preguntas o comentarios que contribuyan
al incómodo estado de coraje. Mantenga la calma e induzca paz y armonía:
utilice un tono de voz adecuado y manténgase relajado. Sirva de modelo para su
interlocutor y notará que el estado que está enfrentando irá desapareciendo
poco a poco. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span lang="ES-PR" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;
mso-ansi-language:ES-PR;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"&gt;Finalmente, no se preocupe:
este sutil veneno no dura toda la vida. El mañana vendrá lleno de sorpresas
inesperadas, todas para usted, a través de un nuevo amanecer: sea capaz de reírse
incluso del mismo coraje, y los estados de armonía y de tranquilidad le
sorprenderán. ¡Qué venga la paz! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;

They extend to nearby Mayaguez, a small city on the coast where many of Sotomayor's relatives live today.&amp;nbsp;"They grew up in an era of great poverty," Sotomayor's cousin, Jose "Tito" Baez Gonzalez, said of his and Sotomayor's parents. "Their lives were filled with struggles."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;New York-born Sotomayor is the first Hispanic to be nominated to the Supreme Court. Friends and relatives credit some of her success to a working-class ethic inherited from her parents, who left Puerto Rico in search of a brighter future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;The impoverished Puerto Rico that Sotomayor's parents knew in the 1930s was vastly different from the mostly-Americanized island of today.&amp;nbsp;But in many ways the struggles of Sotomayor's parents, particularly her mother, Celina Baez, mirror her own.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="cnnEmbeddedMosLnk" style="font-size: 10px; display: inline; white-space: nowrap; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/tabs/video.gif" alt="Video" width="16" height="14" border="0" style="vertical-align: -2px; padding-left: 4px; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/13/sotomayor.roots/index.html#cnnSTCVideo" onclick="CNN_changeMosaicTab('cnnVideoCmpnt','videos.html',true,'/video/politics/2009/07/13/sotomayor.pr.roots.cnn');" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(202, 0, 2); padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 2px; font-weight: bold; "&gt;Watch cousin Tito Baez and friends say how humility and love of food mark Sotomayor &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;When Celina Baez was 9, her mother died and her father abandoned the family, leaving her to be raised by her eldest sister and brother. The young Celina Baez soon showed the fortitude and strong will that relatives say also characterize her daughter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Sonia_Sotomayor" class="cnnInlineTopic" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 66, 118); font-weight: bold; "&gt;Sotomayor&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has said that the few happy childhood memories her mother has shared involved education. Each day Celina Baez would run home from school to teach imaginary friends before doing the chores -- and an emphasis on schooling was something she passed on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Like many Puerto Ricans from her era, Celina Baez headed for the mainland at 17, joining the Women's Army Corps in Georgia. She eventually settled in the Bronx, where she married Sotomayor's father, Juan -- a transplant from San Juan's Santurce neighborhood with a third-grade education, who did not speak English. They had two children: Sonia and her brother, also named Juan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Sotomayor's father died when she was 9, leaving her mother to juggle two jobs and borrow money to get her nursing degree. Both parents and their histories had a powerful impact on Sotomayor, according to Emmalind Garcia, an appellate court judge in Puerto Rico who became close to Sotomayor after they met in San Juan about 15 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;"When you have a parent who struggles because he can't speak the language, or maybe he doesn't have a lot of education, it makes you work harder to prove yourself," Garcia said. "But Dona Celina also set the example for her children that education was the best way to elevate yourself from poverty."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Relatives in Mayaguez used many of the same words to describe mother and daughter: humble, simple, caring and courageous. They spoke admiringly of their continued fluency in Spanish and their love for typical Puerto Rican dishes like rice and beans and "mofongo," a dish of mashed plantains and spices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="cnnEmbeddedMosLnk" style="font-size: 10px; display: inline; white-space: nowrap; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/tabs/video.gif" alt="Video" width="16" height="14" border="0" style="vertical-align: -2px; padding-left: 4px; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/13/sotomayor.roots/index.html#cnnSTCVideo" onclick="CNN_changeMosaicTab('cnnVideoCmpnt','videos.html',true,'/video/us/2009/07/11/sots.sotomayor.nomination.cnn');" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(202, 0, 2); padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 2px; font-weight: bold; "&gt;Watch friends describe what the nomination means to them as Puerto Ricans &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;"The values of Puerto Ricans are centered normally on just one thing -- the family," said Tito Baez, who runs the family bakery in the Manatiales neighborhood.&amp;nbsp;"Although her values are very North American, naturally, because she was born and raised there, I believe her roots are pure Puerto Rican," he said. "She has loved us with the same support as if she were born here and lived here with us."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;His sister, Leonor Baez Santana, remembered summers playing jacks and other games with her cousin in her mother's home."My aunt sent her here to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Puerto_Rico" class="cnnInlineTopic" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 66, 118); font-weight: bold; "&gt;Puerto Rico&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to be with us and she behaved very well," she recalled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;As an adult, Sotomayor would make time to go to Mayaguez, a city of 100,000 known for its mango trees and brewery, whenever she was on the island, her cousins said.&amp;nbsp;The two-hour drive from San Juan is flanked by suburban sprawl, from McDonald's and Walgreens to Walmart and Pep Boys.&amp;nbsp;Mayaguez itself has the framework of a Spanish colonial town with modern touches. At the center is the tree-lined Plaza de Colon, where residents meet in the shadow of a water fountain with a statue of Christopher Columbus. Around the square are the Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria Cathedral and City Hall, and small businesses like Subway and Payless Shoes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;The bakery that Sotomayor's relatives have owned for more than 50 years sits at the foot of hills to the east, amid colorful concrete homes designed to withstand hurricanes.&amp;nbsp;"Panaderia y Reposteria Tito's Bakery" is a nondescript joint with the markings of a typical New York City corner store: refrigerators stocked with fruit juice and soda, display cases holding sandwiches, fresh baked goods, and pastellitos, or small pastries, stuffed with cheese and ground beef. Next door, the bakery prepares cakes and special orders, and above is a home for more of the Baez family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;The only sign of a connection to their famous relative is a stack of newspapers featuring Sotomayor, piled on a stand next to a video lottery terminal.&amp;nbsp;"People's reactions were astonishing, the pride that they feel that a Puerto Rican, an adoptive daughter of Mayaguez, has been nominated for this charge," Baez said at his home in the hillside district of Rio Hondo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;"She's not just a part of our family, she belongs to Puerto Rico," said Baez, a burly man in his 50s with a friendly disposition, even as he apologetically declined to provide details about his family's history.&amp;nbsp;Instead, he took CNN to his favorite place in Mayaguez to pick mangoes, on a road to the Cerro las Mesas hills. The fruit within reach was all gone, so Baez apologized again and moved on to a scenic lookout point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;"Her profession, the space she has now, it has not gone to her head. She doesn't have an ego. She has her feet firmly planted on the ground," Baez said. &amp;nbsp;That attitude is a testament to Celina Baez, Sotomayor's friend Garcia believes. "She raised a doctor and a judge. It's an incredible accomplishment for a woman from a poor village in Puerto Rico."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Ponce School of Medicine 10k Race</title><link rel="alternate" href="http://poncemedicine.org/2009/07/06/ponce-school-of-medicine-10k-race.aspx?ref=rss" /><id>tag:poncemedicine.org,2009-07-06:1edacf8d-2312-4918-9792-bb25a3ac0b9b</id><author><name>Frances Tardy</name></author><updated>2009-07-06T15:42:00Z</updated><published>2009-07-06T15:42:00Z</published><content type="html">&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: Arial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;La
función del psicólogo dentro del contexto hospitalario ha enriquecido
notablemente el campo de la salud en diversos lugares, tales como Norteamérica
y España. Dicha inclusión se fundamenta en las investigaciones que legitiman la
presencia de los profesionales de la conducta en los hospitales y la integración
mente-cuerpo bajo el modelo biopsicosocial. Todo ello apunta a la importancia
de divulgar los aportes recientes del terreno fértil de la denominada “psicología
de la salud” y la función trascendental del psicólogo en un “sitial” en donde aún
predomina el sector médico. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: Arial; "&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count:1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Precisamente, los especialistas Remor,
Arranz y Ula puntualizan que la primera consecuencia de la hospitalización radica
en “que la capacidad del individuo para reaccionar al contexto hospitalario se
suma al padecimiento de una enfermedad”. La simple incorporación del paciente a
un sub-sistema diferente, conlleva un proceso de adaptación ante su inmersión
dentro de la “subcultura hospitalaria”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: Arial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;En Puerto Rico, las condiciones cardíacas, los tumores malignos, las
enfermedades cerebro-vasculares y el VIH aún prevalecen en “la lista negra” del
Departamento de Salud. Por lo tanto, no se debe subestimar el impacto de la
psicopatología en pacientes médico-quirúrgicos, los síntomas psicológicos en
los pacientes VIH/SIDA y los factores psicosociales que repercuten en los pacientes
de enfermedades terminales y sus familiares. En dichos escenarios, el psicólogo
de la salud proporcionaría una perspectiva integral y atendería aquellos
aspectos emocionales asociados a la enfermedad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: Arial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Finalmente, los expertos coinciden en que la educación y el adiestramiento
como psicólogo clínico es insuficiente para la práctica competente en la
psicología de la salud. En Puerto Rico, para la fecha del 18 de agosto de 2004,
se realizó la primera gestión para diseñar un programa posdoctoral en psicología
clínica de la salud que aportara específicamente en las unidades del contexto
hospitalario puertorriqueño. A través de la investigación realizada por este
servidor como discente, se elaboró un estudio de necesidades y un modelo de
adiestramiento posdoctoral para las unidades hospitalarias, que tomara como
base la perspectiva de adiestrados puertorriqueños, los diferentes programas similares
aceptables en Norteamérica y aquellas consideraciones para que fuese “sensible”
a la cultura puertorriqueña. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: Arial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;En síntesis, en Puerto Rico existe el capital intelectual, las
investigaciones precursoras y los posibles recursos para adiestrar formalmente
a los futuros psicólogos clínicos de la salud –con su respectiva formación posdoctoral-
dentro del contexto hospitalario. Dicha gestión beneficiará a la salud mental
en Puerto Rico, dependerá de muchos y será un sueño compartido. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Por: Dr. Ariel Orama, Psicólogo Clinico &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Interested participants started by filling out a pre-interview to evaluate what they knew about the fiber and water. Participants then went on to our interactive table which included information about how to read nutritional labels, amount of fiber in fruits with and without peeling, fiber content in cereals and a demonstration of bottles with same amount of beans (a local staple in Puerto Rican diet) with varying amounts of water to show how fiber &amp;amp; water create bulk to facilitate digestion process. The next station included over twenty recipes from the traditional "criollo" Puerto Rican cuisine with nutritional guides. Cooking alternatives and substitutes were provided on how to increase fiber content, lower fat and sugar content in daily food preparation. We also took that opportunity to discuss benefits of water vs. cola. We also gave presentations every 15 minutes about how to choose foods based on fiber content, calorie consumption, what to look for on food packages and information on how to support local produce from the Puerto Rican coastal and mountainous regions. The last station provided information about health screening, identification of risk factors, colonoscopy and the benefit of fiber-rich diets in reducing colon cancer risk. We were fortunate to also have free gastroenterology consultation with AOA-member Dra. Rosado along with referrals for participants who are without insurance. Participants were finally given an exit interview to evaluate what they learned from the event, which we hope to use for some type of research project. The event exceeded our expectations with over 300 participants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Health Fair at Plaza del Caribe Mall hosted by Ponce School of Medicine and the Alpha Omega Alpha Chapter</title><link rel="alternate" href="http://poncemedicine.org/2009/05/01/health-fair-at-plaza-del-caribe-mall-hosted-by-ponce-school-of-medicine-and-the-alpha-omega-alpha-chapter.aspx?ref=rss" /><id>tag:poncemedicine.org,2009-05-01:44f7ddfe-8ffb-4147-a589-8fa06bf07c1b</id><author><name>Leonardo Valentin</name></author><category term="Events" /><category term="Spanish" /><category term="AOA" /><updated>2009-05-01T23:32:00Z</updated><published>2009-05-01T23:32:00Z</published><content type="html">&lt;b&gt;&lt;img class="img_ls" title="psm_logo.gif" style="width: 160px; height: 85px;" alt="psm_logo.gif" src="http://ts2.images.live.com/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=650190721881&amp;amp;id=e36471305e4b72fe2152e920842824fc"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;La Escuela de Medicina de Ponce y el cápitulo Beta de la Sociedad de Honor Alpha Omega Alpha estarán ofreciendo una feria de salud la cual se llevará acabo mañana Sábado, 2 de Mayo de 2009.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;El tema de la feria de salud será:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;La Importancia de la Fibra y el Agua: Secretos para la Buena Salud.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img class="img_ls" title="fruter_N.jpg" style="width: 129px; height: 120px;" alt="fruter_N.jpg" src="http://ts1.images.live.com/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=586106805544&amp;amp;id=6dfb3c78021d027009b172d18e69854f"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 186px; height: 119px;" src="http://www.fondosunidos.com/imagesgallery/Fotos2007/Expo%20vista%20completa.jpg" height="215" width="384"&gt;&lt;img class="img_pt" title="water_glass.jpg" style="width: 128px; height: 120px;" alt="water_glass.jpg" src="http://ts3.images.live.com/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=750437669766&amp;amp;id=f401a4fbdb627fa5615d5b163c84103e"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

The news came as a very emotive surprise for the students since no official announcement had been done previous to that meeting. After being introduced by Dr. Armstrong, Dr. Garcia began interacting with the students and narrating some of his most important life experiences. Dr. Garcia took the opportunity to provide advise and inspiration to the third year medical students in their journey of developing careers in healthcare. He described some of the ideas and projects he will bring to Ponce School of Medicine as the new president. He emphasized the importance of creating strong alliances with institutions around the world.  "Some of them [projects &amp;amp; ideas] will yield immediate results, while other will take time before we see their effect" he said. He also made reference to the great potential the school has for further growth--even in the tough economic times that we live in. He noted that one of PSM most valuable assets is its solid foundation in academia and the high standards of our educational programs, both which are being recognized at the local and national level. "You guys are truly blessed of being part of such a great institution, and being part of this new era of change and advancement in our school" said Dr. Garcia.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; In addition, he told medical students to think of themselves, not only, as highly talented academic physicians, but to see how they played a role in our global community. In conclusion, Dr. Joxel Garcia wanted to underscore that from now on its important to place ourself in the global context, we must not only be the best medical school in Puerto Rico, or the best hispanic-based medical school in the nation, we must compete to become the best medical school on the national and international level. Again, we must think globally, we must understand how we affect global health and how global health affects us, it is by having this understanding that we will be better prepared to help our healthsystem. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He ended by saying  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"All the things I have mentioned here are not dreams but things that I am already working on, things that are happening, and will continue to evolve".&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>British Medical School brings new ideas for medical education</title><link rel="alternate" href="http://poncemedicine.org/2009/03/28/british-medical-school-brings-new-ideas-for-medical-education.aspx?ref=rss" /><id>tag:poncemedicine.org,2009-03-28:a073b9fb-d305-4c1e-b232-e0009b480572</id><author><name>Leonardo Valentin</name></author><category term="All" /><updated>2009-03-29T01:34:00Z</updated><published>2009-03-29T01:34:00Z</published><content type="html">&lt;script src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/evp/module.js?loc=dom&amp;vid=/video/tech/2009/03/27/doctors.second.life.cnn" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;Embedded video from &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/video"&gt;CNN Video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Vinculan el estrés con la endometriosis</title><link rel="alternate" href="http://poncemedicine.org/2009/03/27/vinculan-el-estrés-con-la-endometriosis.aspx?ref=rss" /><id>tag:poncemedicine.org,2009-03-27:ea008bdd-e4c1-4491-bde9-bcba9ac3afd7</id><author><name>Frances Tardy</name></author><category term="All" /><category term="PSM" /><category term="Research News" /><category term="Spanish" /><category term="News" /><updated>2009-03-27T04:43:00Z</updated><published>2009-03-27T04:43:00Z</published><content type="html">&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;

Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;Un estudio reciente, realizado por
un grupo de investigadoras de la Escuela de Medicina de Ponce, relacionó el
estrés con los dolorosos síntomas de la endometriosis, un trastorno ginecológico
que se caracteriza por el crecimiento de tejido del endometrio fuera del útero.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; “Por primera vez, un estudio
presenta pruebas de los efectos negativos del estrés en la progresión de la
endometriosis”, dijo una de las investigadoras, Marielly Cuevas, tras explicar
que en el modelo animal de endometriosis, la exposición a estrés aumentó la
severidad de la enfermedad.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; “Es probable que el estrés module el
sistema inmunológico, contribuyendo a la fisiopatología de la endometriosis.
Nuestros resultados sugieren que el uso de técnicas para el manejo del estrés
ofrecen alternativas terapéuticas útiles para aminorar los síntomas y
progresión de esta condición”, afirmó la investigadora.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

Idhaliz Flores, Caroline Appleyard, Kenira Thompson, Olga I. Santiago y Cuevas,
indujeron endometriosis intestinal en ratas hembras maduras mediante un
procedimiento quirúrgico. Luego, los animales fueron sometidos a un protocolo
de estrés por diez días.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

con endometriosis desarrollaron vesículas en al menos uno de los sitios de
implante. En el grupo de ratas que no fueron expuestas a estrés, la longitud de
las vesículas fue menor”, señaló Cuevas.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;darás, aquí y ahora, para&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;llegar a la cúspide de tus&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;sueños?
" – AOL&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;Por aquello de fungir como "p s i c o p
e r i o d i st a ", quise indagar en las aguas pro- fundas de las mentes
creativas y sumergirme en el mar de los neoartistas consagrados. El panel de
expertos: tres jóvenes talentosos, con una visión caleidoscópica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;En estos momentos, saco un papelito virtual
de la tómbola incolora -al estilo Miss Universo- y a cada uno les proporciono
una pregunta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;¿Cómo usted define la creatividad? "La
creatividad presupone desviarse de lo que es conocido y trazar un camino nuevo.
Consiste en ser el primero, buscando que otros sigan tus pasos. Es atreverse a
experimentar, sin preocuparse de la opinión de los demás. Es incluso sacrificar
comodidades. Es fe y confianza en uno mismo", expone el artista Ektor
Rivera, joven destacado en la pintura, la actuación y la música.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;Para lograr el balance perfecto que le
permite trascender en las artes y la creatividad, Ektor se encuentra en esa
búsqueda continua de espacios naturales. "Vivimos el 90% de nuestro tiempo
encerrados, bajo un techo y cuatro paredes. Nuestra mente necesita ese descanso
visual, necesita salirse de lo cuadrado, de los monitores, los número s... y
debe alimentarse de espacios infinitos, de colores, de aire fresco. Esa es la
mayor inspiración para mí", sostiene el artista, quien ya posee una
galería virtual en España y trabaja en su próxima producción musical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;¿Cuáles son los retos del artista novel que
quiere desarrollarse en su campo artístico y cuál ha sido su mayor reto en las
artes? "Soy poeta. No he medido mi creación artística en retos o a partir
de retos. Escribo por gusto, por deleite y porque la poesía, para mí, es un
desfogue y una catarsis. Ahora bien, de manera general y en lo que respecta a
la creación literaria, creo que para todo escritor, poeta y dramaturgo, el
mayor sueño, no reto, es publicar. Hay escritores consagrados, destacados,
importantes, que ya tienen un espacio ganado, pero para aquellos que son
novedad, la incursión en el medio editorial es un trabajo duro, un espacio que
es difícil ganar", puntualiza la respetada colombiana Olga Edith López
-licenciada en Lenguas Modernas, poeta y editora- quien diseña su revista ELAN,
dirige un espacio editorial en España y crea una empresa editorial virtual para
obras en formato e l e c t r ó n i c o.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;¿Qué sugerencias usted le ofrece a los jóvenes
que quieren convertirse en ex- pertos de su arte? "Para llegar a ser
expertos es necesario continuar educándonos, ya que constantemente
experimentamos cambios. De igual manera, tenemos que amar nuestra profesión,
que se convierta en vocación.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;Debe creer en usted mismo y nunca dejar que
los pequeños obstáculos le impidan alcanzar convertirse en un experto en su
área, porque éstos le llevarán a la perfección. En cada instante, usted deberá
detenerse un momento y visualizar su futuro: finalmente, actuar ", indica
la joven educadora Mariann Villafañe, quien se distingue por integrar la
creatividad en el aula de clases y presidir el comité de acreditación del
Colegio John B. Watson en Moca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;"Durante los años hemos experimen- tado
el cambio de las generaciones. De- bemos identificar las diferencias
individuales de los alumnos y ser capaces de capturar su atención de formas
creativas. Debemos desarrollar líderes dispuestos que sean capaces de alcanzar
todo y cuanto ellos se propongan en la vida", sostuvo la respetada e
innovadora maestra, quien se ha destacado por crear musicales al estilo High
School Musical en su colegio y por realizar viajes estudiantiles incluso a la
NASA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;Finalmente, nos cuestionamos lo siguiente:
¿qué adjetivo distingue al ar- tista posmoderno que se destaca entre los demás?
"Es creativo", dice Ektor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;"Es auténtico" señala Mariann.
"No daría un adjetivo sino un sustantivo: riesgo", asevera Olga
Edith. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:
Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;Quise preguntarles si alguno de ellos fue
entrevistado por el nuevo gobierno, o si sus ideas han sido consideradas como
parte de las reformas del denominado "cambio" para nuestra sociedad.
Quizás, auscultar si alguno de sus correos electrónicos con propuestas
interesantes fue rebotado por alguna mente conformista. Aún no lo sé. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
none;text-autospace:none"&gt;Sólo estoy seguro de algo:
son esencia pura y se harán sentir, no importa el escenario. Son,
fundamentalmente, el arte por el arte.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ellos se refieren a esa ''vocecita'' melodiosa que nos pregunta constantemente, nos reta a nuevas aventuras y nos transporta al futuro a través de metas específicas. Tanto en el ámbito profesional como en nuestro desarrollo personal, resulta indispensable laborar con las destrezas y las habilidades que nos ofrece este maestro personal que, definitivamente, está a la merced de nuestros sueños e ideales. A continuación, les ofrezco algunas alternativas para descubrir el potencial de ese maravilloso ''coach'' que todos llevamos dentro:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;1. Dedique 20 minutos por la mañana a la escritura libre (diariamente): Este ejercicio sencillísimo le permitirá reconocer aquellas conversaciones internas que son recurrentes e incluso sus mayores temores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;2. Reconozca sus sombras y sus héroes internos: ¿Qué aspectos de mi ser limitan mi ejecución en el plano laboral? ¿Qué cualidades he demostrado en los momentos de dificultad, que puedo utilizar para salir adelante en esta nueva empresa? ¿Qué se interpone entre mi posición actual en el trabajo y el ascenso? ¿Qué acciones he llevado a cabo hoy para vencer mis miedos?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;3. Establezca una conexión entre los distintos roles de su vida: ¿Qué características de mi ''yo'' comunicador pueden ser beneficiosas para mejorar las habilidades de mi ''yo'' empresario?  Recuerde que sus distintas facetas están a la merced de sus necesidades. Redescubra el poder y las habilidades asignadas arbitrariamente a los distintos roles de su vida e intégrelos en otros planos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;4. En sus conversaciones internas, elabore preguntas específicas, con respuestas específicas: ¿Qué en realidad yo deseo? ¿Qué me falta por llevar a cabo durante este mes? ¿Qué otras alternativas existen para mí? ¿Cuál es mi próximo paso, hoy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;5. Sea sutil y amoroso con usted: Dedique tiempo en la semana para premiarse y reconocer los logros obtenidos. Enfóquese en las fortalezas que ha adquirido a lo largo de su trayectoria. De vez en cuando, desconéctese de lo cotidiano y diviértase haciendo cosas diferentes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;6. Sepa escucharse: Practique la reflexión silente. Su mundo interior intenta competir con los estímulos sensoriales de la realidad. Esté atento: su ser intenta comunicarse con usted a viva voz. Esto puede manifestarse a través de un sueño, una sensación o un dolor específico, un olvido casual: escúchese.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;7. Sintonice con sus emociones: ¿Qué siento cuando estoy triste o enojado? ¿En qué parte del cuerpo lo siento? ¿Qué evoca en mí determinado cliente?  ¿Qué ocurre en mi organismo o cómo responde mi cuerpo cuando tengo demasiado trabajo (o debería invertir menos energía en determinada tarea)? ¿Qué sensaciones experimento cuando intuyo que debo delegar determinada tarea a otro colega?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;8. Conecte con el elemento Tierra: ¿Qué conversaciones internas poseo sobre cobrar por mis servicios? ¿Cuán tangibles resultan mis metas y objetivos? ¿Cómo se encuentra mi salud financiera? ¿Qué deberes y responsabilidades personales/profesionales he postergado y son una prioridad en mi vida?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;9. Dialogue con los ''coaches'' internos de sus colegas: A través de una conversación cotidiana, nuestros colegas pueden orientarnos sobre cómo han manejado distintas situaciones personales y profesionales. &lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt; No olvidemos que nuestra misión de vida requiere lo mejor de nosotros en cada instante. Por lo tanto, ¿qué esperamos para manifestar nuestro poder?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Ya lo dijo Miguel de Unamuno: ''Doy conmigo el universo entero. Para ello tienes que hacerte universo, buscándolo dentro de ti. ¡Adentro!''.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;El autor es psicólogo clínico y profesor del Departamento de Psiquiatría de la Escuela de Medicina de Ponce, Coach Creativo Certificado, Coach Ejecutivo/Corporativo y Facilitador Autorizado  de Coachville Spain.
