Brownie Logo: Madera Mi Brownie
A couple of months ago, a friend of my sister’s who sells brownies and other baked goods did a little contest for the design of his logo. The winner would get a tray brownies, biscuits, and cookies.
I decided to submit a few designs because my sister kept insisting I did–mostly because she wanted the brownies. And I was surprised to find out that my design was the winner. The brownies were delicious and winning felt good!
Here are some design submissions:
This was the winning logo:
And this was my delicious prize!

Hace un par de meses, un amigo de mi hermana que vende brownies y otros dulces horneados hizo un pequeño concurso para el diseño de su logotipo. El ganador recibiría una bandeja de brownies, mantecaditos y galletitas.
Decidí enviar algunos diseños porque mi hermana insistía en que lo hiciera–sobre todo porque ella quería ganarse los brownies. Me sorprendió descubrir que mi diseño fue el ganador. Los brownies estaban deliciosos y ganar se sintió muy bien!
Aquí están algunas propuestas de diseño:
Este fue el logo ganador:
Y este fue mi delicioso premio!

Work Isn’t All About the Money

When we think about the word work, we can’t help but think about money. After all, isn’t work what we do to get money? Yes. But there’s a lot more to work than just money.
I used to have a philosophy towards work—a philosophy that would get me nowhere and that would only feed my ego: If the pay isn’t high enough for what I thought I deserved for my many [read sarcastic] talents, I wasn’t going to take it. That simple. This is a wrong philosophy to live by for many reasons:
1. YOU ARE OVERRATING YOURSELF. You’re probably not as great as you think you are. At least in my case, I thought I had a lot of knowledge in many areas, but I didn’t have the work experience to prove that. I might know that I am capable of doing something, but there must be tangible proof of that for others to believe me [resumé].
2. YOU WON’T GET MANY JOBS. This I-am-so-great attitude won’t get you anywhere unless you’re your own boss or the CEO somewhere. A good employee is teachable and humble and understands well his role in the company. Being stuck up won’t get you many friends.
3. FINDING A GOOD-PAYING JOB IS HARD. A stable job is almost a treasure, specially in this economy. With the cutbacks companies have had to do, you’re lucky if you’re still in. Many people have trouble finding jobs because they are overqualified, and companies can’t pay for their work experience.
4. IT ISN’T ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Sometimes, money isn’t the best thing you can get out of a job. God showed me this lesson recently.
