Jesús nació y vivió en una situación concreta. Pasó la mayor parte de su vida en una pequeña región del oriente romana llamada Galilea. En aquel tiempo Galilea era un pequeño reino vasallo de romano, que estaba gobernado por uno de los hijos de Herodes el Grande, llamado Antipas. Era una región relativamente próspera, pero sometida a enormes presiones desde el punto de vista económico y social. Jesús era judío, y como tal tenía una especial relación con Jerusalén, la ciudad santa, donde se encontraba el Templo al que los judíos acudían en peregrinación para dar culto a Dios. Con lo anterior se pude comprender que el contexto de Jesús se encontraba en el marco de una situación política regentada por dos (2) poderes

There are two ways to view intelligence or ability:
ability it is fixed or ingrained – in other words, we are born with a certain level of ability and we cannot change that. this is called a fixed mindset.
we can develop our ability through hard work and effort. this is called a growth mindset.
these two different beliefs lead to different behaviour, and also to different results. for example, students with a growth mindset were shown to increase their grades over time. those who believed that their intelligence was ingrained did not; in fact, their grades got worse.
having a growth mindset (the belief that you are in control of your own ability, and can learn and improve) is the key to success.
yes, hard work, effort, and persistence are all important, but not as important as having that underlying belief that you are in control of your own destiny.
