Weekly "Dicho con Café"
"De aquellos polvos, vienen estos lodos"
The author's translation is that "From that dust comes this mud"
What the dicho is trying to convey is that if committed bad deeds or sins in your past, they will have a way of catching up to you. All "that dust" which is referred to in the dicho are a combination of those bad deeds or sins you've committed in the past, and these acts or dust particles that are up in the air will eventually settle, come together, and create the mud (which is dirty), representing a combination of all your bad deeds or sins. In other words, what bad actions you might have done in the past have a certain way of catching up with you and no matter what you do, something happens and someone will stumble upon your "skeleton in the closet." This dicho is often used when someone is caught for those things they've done in the past and are being punished reinforcing the another saying that states, "You can't get away with it and it's just a matter of time"! Therefore, be careful what you do in your life and how you behave in your personal and professional life. Let your life be an exemplary one and don't engage in anything that would prove derogatory to your character. Be fair in how you treat others and be a friend to those around you! It can be a beautiful life and beautiful world because of who you are... |

More About John A. Flores
To date, Mr. Flores, accompanied by his wife, has traveled to 60 countries world-wide giving him the opportunity to stand on the Great Wall of China, dine at the top of The Eiffel Tower, marvel at the Acropolis in Athens, experience the pyramids of Egypt along with the mysterious Sphinx, and stroll inside the Coliseum of Rome. He has experienced the wonders of Machu Pichu, spent a week traveling the Amazon River, visiting indigenous tribes and settlements, and stood the foot of famed Christ The Redeemer statue in Rio De Janiero. He has been fortunate to visit so many places and he firmly believes that his education has allowed him to do the traveling that he has done so far, since he equates education with higher income. This higher income has allowed him to enjoy life a little and be able to share in the "American Dream" of owning his own home as well as other items that have made his life more pleasurable.
When he's not writing books, Mr. Flores makes presentations to local, regional and national groups, using dichos to motivate his audiences. You can contact him for speaking engagements at (559) 456-0128 or at his personal email at jaflores1246@comcast.net
