I Love Failure

It is essential, day by day,
to remain responsible
for our actions and decisions,
​accepting our faults
​without assigning blame


​A Demagogue is a “Leader” who uses Dishonest Political Techniques to Gain Power.

Yesterday, while looking around our business that it is mainly built by immigrants, I could not stop thinking about an individual, a xenophobic demagogue who is a candidate for president and is using immigrants as his pawns to win votes. Yes, I was thinking about Trump, the racist candidate.
 
_First, lets understand the meaning of the word demagogue:
The dictionary defines it as a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational arguments.
 
A demagogue is a “leader” who uses dishonest political techniques in order to gain power. It is an agitator that encourages aggression toward other groups, promoting nationalism and xenophobia with a hateful rhetoric and shameless lies; just like Donald Trump.
 
_Then, lets understand why so many people migrate to the United States:
 
People immigrate to this great country because they have hope, hope for a better life. They leave everything behind, their family and friends, their culture and possessions, in search of a better existence. 
 
Immigrants come to the United States to find work and to improve their lives and those of their families; they do not come to beg for the social benefits, they come here to build something! They immigrate to have the opportunity to improve their lives!
 
These people come searching for The American Dream, the notion that everyone is equal and everyone has the same opportunities of success; the dream of waking up in a safe place not terrorized by war and other dangers.
 
_So, when thinking about “Demagogue Trump,” as a Latino immigrant and an American citizen, married to a Muslin Jordanian-American, it’s difficult to understand how a politician is using demagogy and xenophobia to win votes.
 
I recognize that “Demagogue Trump” has an irrational fear of people from different countries, cultures, and religions, but he must understand that immigrants built this great nation and to recognize that immigrants are an asset and not a liability for any country.
 
Finally, does “Demagogue Trump” know that to become President of this great nation, the requirements are to have the ability to listen and accept different opinions, to inspire, motivate and unite; there is no tolerance to destroy, divide and hatred. This country is called the United States of America for a reason: to unite!
 
_Looking at our company, I realized that our business, the one that I  built with my wife is a true sample of what America is: tolerance, understanding and entrepreneurship.

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!  

    "success is built on many failures..."
