UFS 111 - 4th Reflection ( Life without Limitation )


          This video gives me a deep inspiration. In our lives that anything is possible as the saying goes, life without limits. Born without arms and legs, Nick Vujivic  live their lives as others even less well physically but his spirit to survive he had been able to live independently and be a role model for everybody in finding real happiness. Messages conveyed by him to inspire us all to find our purpose in life is difficult or even impossible to achieve in the future. Life is composed of many opportunities that we can take advantage of. Many doors may open while others may close. There are different paths in life that we can take. This is why I am completely convinced that there are no limits in life to what you can do. It does not matter where you live or what type of home you were raised in all things are possible to them who believe in the impossible. All of the things that we need to accomplish our desires already exist; have to open our eyes to what is available. There is a time for everything under the sun. We must make sure that we are aware of all of the other factors in our life and do not have too many hats on at one time. Must assess the entire situation to make sure this is the right season for us to take act. Do not fear to taking any risk and must learn how to be a risk taker. However, your wisdom when making decisions and have to assess whether it is the right risk to take. Our speeches are a reflection of our thinking and must begin to speech as if we have accomplished our goals and desires. Practice using ‘I can’ statements daily. Speak words that birth life. Pay attention to speech that does not build up and get rid of it.

UFS 111- 3rd Reflection

          Machu Picchu was built around 1450, at the height of Inca Empire. It was situated on a mountain ridge about the Urubamba valley in Peru, which is about 80 km northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flow. Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca world. Chichen Itza is a large pre-columbian archeological site built by the Mayan civilization located in the northern centre of the Yucatan Peninsula, in the Municipality of Tinum, Yucatan State, present day Mexico.
            There are five similarity between  Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza. Both of this city is lost city that abandoned by the people. Machu Picchu it was abandoned city just over 100 years later, in 1572.  It is possible that most of it is population died from smallpox introduced by travelers before the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the area. There evidence suggests that Chichen Itza was abandoned by the Mayans in the tenth century. The abandonment has not yet fully explained because the Mayan returned to and settled the cities around 1000 AD. There some evidence that both of this city was colonized by the Spanish. The third similar of this two city are the City contain stone building in various state of preservation. In Chichen Itza, the site contain five stone building are connected by dense network of formerly, called sacbeob. There almost 100 sacbeob criss-crossing the site, and extending in all direction from the city. Machu Picchu, the Incas were masters of this technique, called ashlar, in which block of stone are cut to fit together tightly without mortar. Both this city has temple, in Chichen Itza the temple still exist is the Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Sun in Machu Picchu. They have a sacred religious site. This theory stands mainly because of where Machu Picchu located. Reinhard calls it ‘sacred geography’ because the site of building on and around the mountain that holding high religious important in the Inca culture. There are two large, natural sink holes, called cenotes, this could have provided plentiful water year at Chichen Itza. There two cenotes, the “Cenote Sagrado” known as the Sacred Well or Well sacrifice. Beside the similarities, there are the differences between this two greatest City. The difference is the location of the city. Machu Picchu is located in modern-day Peru high in the Andes Mountains, almost two-and-a-half kilometers above sea level. In Chichen Itza, Mayan civilization spread from their origin on the Yucatan Peninsula to the rain forests of Mexico eastward and the other surrounding countries. The ruins of Machu Picchu are divided into two main sections known as the Urban and Agricultural Sectors, divided by a wall. The Agricultural Sector is further subdivided into upper and lower sectors, while the Urban Sector is split into East and West sectors, separated by wide plazas. The buildings of Chichen Itza are grouped in a series architectonic set, and each set was at one time separated from other by a series of low walls. 
           The conclusion, both of this two City are the Greatest City in the world. For my favorite city, I will choose Machu Picchu as my destination for vacation because of location rich with flora and fauna.  It was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone wall. For me it was unique and many possess valuable as a culture, a unique historic building, and is the greatest city in the world.
