Weekly "Dicho con Caf�"
"La constancia hace milagros."
The author's translation is that "Consistency creates miracles."
What this means is that miracles are a result of a person doing something over and over again and do not just occur, but are made to happen. By studying you will get the education that you need to be successful; by sticking to your diet, you lose those pounds that you wish to lose; by practicing the guitar, you will learn to play it -- and on and on and on. In other words, you can make miracles occur if you are willing to be consistent in doing something that will benefit you over and over again. Miracles will happen when you make them happen. Make your own miracle by doing that which you have to do until that miracle in your life happens! |

More About John A. Flores
When Mr. and Mrs. Flores first started traveling, their first visit was to Europe where they experienced riding the Eurorail system of Europe, where they found out that trains arrive and leave on time, and you had better be ready and on time to catch your train. It was quite an experience getting off a train and getting on the next one with only a few minutes in-between. However, the arrival and departure times of the Eurorail system are so synchronized that if you were a seasoned traveler by rail, it is not a problem. You can get off one train and walk across the railroad platform a few feet away and get on the other train with minutes to spare. With time, they became adjusted to this railway system and their anxiety of missing their connecting train became a thing of the past. Just as interesting was their experience in Belgium, Luxemburg, and The Netherlands (Amsterdam, in particular), which were the first countries that they visited. The Floreses decided to stay in hostels during those visits, which was quite an experience in that the hostels had one main shower, so the Floreses had to get up very early, before anyone else, and each kept an eye out while the other showered, to keep watch for any other person that might have also gotten up a little earlier so that they could also shower, particularly if they were of the opposite sex! The hostel fees for staying overnight were less than $10 with coffee, milk and bread served for breakfast, so the price was right; however, the lack of privacy and having to sleep in a large room with 30-40 other people (similar to barracks) were not the most optimal accommodations. Nevertheless, it was quite an experience and they now know what the youth of today experience when they travel Europe by staying at hostels. It's a cheap way to travel but once was enough in their lifetime, and hostels are part of their memorable past.
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 [email protected]
