Confident vs conceited people, What kind of this are 'u? I hate the 2nd one.

Confidence is defined as a feeling or consciousness of one’s powers or of reliance in one’s circumstances. Being confident, sounds so easy but being able to walk into a room and feel completely comfortable with yourself inside and out is not an easy task for many of us.
A conceited person will walk into that same room and feel insecure about herself or himself but instead of showing it will tell everyone how great they are.

Conceit is shown by people who not only are not critical towards themselves, but also underestimate their own self worth. They can only see the good side of themselves, they have no bad side. With a conceited person everything is easy to do and they never acknowledge a mistake was made on their part. They always think they have the answers and theirs is the best answer. Conceited people have an excessively high opinion of their abilities, appearance, and material things. These people will like to show off quite a lot and will tell you how what you have is not as good as what they have. They constantly boast about how “confident” they are and how they always speak their mind.

I have met a man before who boasted about how no one will talk to him this way or do treat him any kind of way, he always tends to be very rude and I can just see the insecurity in he when he’s afraid ‘cause he never shows us the true side of him. It always makes me think of the saying “his bark is worse than his bite”.

When a person is confident, they never have to tell you they are. They will just exude confidence. They are not afraid to admit making mistakes and have a plan on how to not make that mistake again. Confidence isn’t about proving to anyone else just how great you are, it’s a feeling you have inside that just shows to everyone around. I am always in awe of truly confident people. It is so incredible the way every action they make is just another fact showing their confidence.

A confident person knows she can do anything she sets her mind to. A conceited person wants everyone else to know she can do anything and everything.

How do you feel around confident people vs. conceited people? Would you be able recognize if you were conceited, I am thinking yes, but what do you think? Maybe some conceited people don’t know they are conceited and they think that is the way to “prove” their confidence, but sometimes people can’t understand how terrible is hear all the time talking about themselves ,and how they can do feel bad to other people with their comments.

Book report

The stolen letter

I recently read the stolen letter by Edgar Allan Poe, a book about a letter that was stolen from the royal apartment , it cause a big problem but at last an intelligent man Auguste Dupin rescued it and received a big reward. It is an interesting and fascinating story that describes a mysterious problem because anybody knows where the letter was.

In Paris, just after dark one evening in the autumn, two friends were in the August Dupin’s library when suddenly arrived Monsieur G. the head of the Paris police to asks them for help and advices because he didn’t know what he have to do to find the stolen letter although he thought that it was in the Minister’s apartment . The central theme of the book, a mysterious problem that Monsieur G. must resolve, is how a strange man from the Royal apartment resolved and save the letter only using his intelligent without the help of others.

The main characters in this book are C. Auguste Dupin, Monsieur G, and the minister D the thief of the letter. Each one had different points of view about the place where they thought the letter was. My favorite character was Dupin because he thought in the logical way and went to search at the minister’s house only based in the description that Monsieur G told him to save it.
I liked the story. The author involved me with the suspense and I was waiting to know what could happen.
I would recommend the book to anyone who likes the mysterious. I think most of people like to read this kind of story because catch the attention and does that we want to know more and want to know what follow.

about PARIS...

This is about Paris, why I tell you this information? Because one day I would like to go there. I think is one of the most attractive places to visit, it’s one of my dreams, don’t you want to go there? I’m wrong? Well let to see some information about places that you can go maybe in 3 years more …

Well, first let make sure you have a list of the "obvious" places. Those would be, in addition to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, the Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Centre Pompidou, Place des Vosges, Cluny Museum, Luxembourg Gardens, Place de la Bastille, Place de la Concorde, Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, the Sewers of Paris and the Catacombs, etc.Some lesser visited places are:

1-Musée des Plans-Relief

An overlooked museum that is housed over the Army Museum on the Esplanade des Invalides. For years this place was just a garret filled with models of the various fortifications and walled towns in France. Prior to 1950 the public was not admitted since some of information that could gleaned from the models was considered a state secret. The collection of models was started by Louis XIV. The oldest model, representing the town of Perpignan, dates back to 1866.

2-Arena Lutetia on thrue Monge

These are the remains of a Roman arena destroyed in the 3rd century. Completely forgotten during 1500 years they were rediscovered in 1869, when new streets were planned and diggings ordered. It was one of the largest amphitheatres of Gaul and could accomdate at least 15,000 spectators.

3-La Maison du Haut-Pignon

This is the oldest house in Paris. It was built in 1407 by the writer and alchemist Nicolas Flamel. Look at the façade and see the inscription: "Ora et labora" (pray and work), which was the motto of the alchemists.

4-Cimetiere de Picpus

This is the burial place of the Marquis de Lafayette which can be found at 35, rue de Picpus. The only way into the cemetary is through an unmarked door in a larger, perpetually-closed gateway. You have to ring the doorbell and turn to the right after you pass through the door and find the entry 'official' who takes your entry fee.

Those are so few places that you can visit ,without doubt they have a impressive design that you can admire and enjoy the tour.

Types of art...

Artists used many styles in their paintings and drawings.For me after read a little about styles of art I find more interesting the follows: Cubism, Realism, Postimpressionism,and Surrealism.

Cubism: Is modern art made up mostly of paintings. The paintings are not supposed to look real. The artist uses geometric shapes to show what he is trying to paint. Early cubists used mainly grays, browns, greens, and yellows. After 1914, Cubists started to use brighter colors. Cubism was the beginning of the Abstract and Non-objective art styles.Pablo picasso was one of the most famous painters of this kind of art.

Realism: Is a type of art that shows things exactly as they appear in life. It began in the 18th century, but the greatest Realist era was in the mid-19th century. Most Realists were from France, but there were some famous American painters who were Realists also.Leonardo da Vinci was a Painter of this styles of paintings.

Postimpressionism: It began in the 19th century. It was mainly still lifes and landscapes. The postimpressionists liked to use lots of colors and shadows.
Vincent Van Gogh painted sad paintings with poor people in them. His paintings were always very dark until he saw some colorful Japanese paintings.Then he started painting happier paintings. Most of his works was in this style.

Surrealism: This kind of paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious. They hoped their odd paintings would make people look at things in a different way and change the way they felt about things. They thought that their paintings might stir up feelings in the back of peoples minds. Salvador Dali was one of the painters that used this style.

I think all types of art are beatiful and important, but each one is defferent from others but all have something interesting behind them because refelcet the way that theirs printer are.
