La mejor manera de aprender es enseñando | Raúl Mamani Montes | TEDxUPDS

Enseñar para Aprender

• The best way to learn is by teaching, as discovered through personal experience of learning more and better when explaining concepts to others, which started with a few classmates and eventually grew to the entire course (31s).
• This method is effective because it allows for the memorization of information, and it is suggested to not worry about details when sharing with others, but rather focus on the essence of the message (1m7s).
• Teaching is also a form of sowing, and it is learned that when you sow a little, you reap a little, but when you sow a lot, you reap a lot, and if you don't sow, you don't reap (1m23s).
• The importance of sharing knowledge is emphasized, despite potential criticism, as it is a way to share experiences that have made life more stable, tranquil, and happy (2m1s).

• Seven key words related to the life project are mentioned, starting with "misión" (mission), which refers to what one wants to achieve and the tasks required to achieve it (2m28s).
• The difference between being a visionary and a missionary is highlighted, with the latter being someone who works towards a specific objective, and the importance of having both vision and mission is emphasized (2m44s).
• The concept of vision and mission is compared to romantic relationships, where one must go beyond just dreaming and take action to achieve their goals, just like conquering the heart of the person one loves (2m55s).

Visión y Misión en las Relaciones

• A person describes a scenario where a girl is waiting for her "príncipe azul" (Prince Charming), but she ends up with someone who may not be her ideal match because she is afraid of being single (4m5s).
• The person notes that it's not easy for a boy to declare his feelings, as it can be nerve-wracking and he risks being rejected (4m24s).
• The boy may try to gather his courage and declare his feelings, often using romantic words and phrases, even if he's not usually poetic (5m58s).

Proactividad y Perseverancia

• The person emphasizes the importance of having a vision and a mission, and working towards making them a reality through effort and perseverance (6m33s).
• A key concept in achieving one's goals is proactividad (proactivity), which means never giving up and always moving forward while taking care of what one has achieved (6m47s).
• The person illustrates proactivity with the example of a boy who is determined to make his girlfriend the mother of his children, and he continues to pursue his goal even if he faces obstacles, such as the girl's mother's disapproval (6m54s).

Valores y Principios

• To take care of something, one must be proactive and have a clear vision and mission, as well as adhere to principles and values (7m40s).

• Parents and authority figures are not always good examples of practicing values, and it's up to individuals to develop their own principles (8m50s).
• The value of fidelity is another example, where being faithful to one's partner is important, but having the principle of fidelity means being able to resist temptation (9m27s).
• If someone gives in to temptation, it means they may have the value of fidelity but not the principle (9m58s).
• Having the principle of fidelity means being able to say no to temptation and being faithful to one's partner (10m2s).

Moral y Ética

• The difference between moral and ethical conduct lies in whether one behaves well when being watched or when no one is watching (10m27s).
• Moral conduct is behaving well when someone is watching, while ethical conduct is behaving well even when no one is watching (11m17s).
• Ethical conduct is a more admirable concept, and if countries were governed by people who behaved ethically, it would be a positive development (11m32s).

• A question posed by a teacher, "What are you?" sparked a discussion about identity, and the answer lies in what makes each person unique and different from others (11m57s).
• The uniqueness of each person is evident in the fact that out of millions of sperm cells, only one fertilizes the egg, making each individual a one-in-a-million chance (12m40s).
• This uniqueness is also reflected in the fact that no two people have the same fingerprints, voice, or way of speaking (13m42s).
• Apart from being unique, each person is blessed with different talents and gifts, and some people have multiple talents and gifts (14m1s).

• To become a professional of excellence, one needs to practice discipline and strive for excellence, and this will lead to success and recognition (15m28s).
