He has certainly enjoyed trips with his family, good food and clothing, but nothing exceptional. Gustavo Mirabal Castro’s trick is that he knows what he wants and doesn’t spend for the sake of spending. Next, we will give you the secrets to the life of luxury of Gustavo Mirabal Castro:Saving is an obligation, not an option: You should always save, you can’t live on the limit or paycheck to paycheck. Saving is the way to know that expenses and income are under control. If you don’t save a month, that means you spent more than you earned. You should always earn more than you spend: If you want to spend more you should strive to earn more money. Whether it’s through second jobs, investments, changing jobs, or a promotion, your income should fit the expenses you want to have. You should always spend less than you earn: It seems silly to reverse the previous premise, but there are people who forget to decrease their expenses when their income decreases. They want to lead their lives as if their expenses should have no relation to their income. If your income decreases, you will have to adjust your expenses until you increase your income again. Do not borrow unnecessarily: Borrowing can be very profitable at times and according to the conditions of indebtedness. Going into debt to buy something you can buy by saving a couple of months is bad business. Always try to get into debt on things that help you decrease costs or increase profits.Through these tips you can improve your quality of life, lead a quieter life and get your financial freedom.

A special case was in the year 2019, where the horse Country House, won the Kentucky Derby controversially… But even so, Country House did not run the Preakness Stakes. The news that was given on May 7, 2019. Likewise, the winner of the Derby, Maximum Security, who was later disqualified, did not run in this joust either. This took away some interest from the Preakness Stakes, as no horse could win the triple crown. Preakness Stakes The Triple Crown and the Preakness Stakes, the example of the year 2022 The same thing happened this year 2022. Last-minute surrogate jockey and horses Sonny Leon alongside Rich Strikes won the 2022 Kentucky Derby. Because it was a last-minute addition, the win was surprising. The most surprising thing was that the rich strikes coach decided not to run in the Preakness Stakes, so he closed the door to the triple crown of 2022. This decision was because the strength of Rich Strikes is long runs. The same thing that helped him win the Kentucky Derby would have made it difficult for him to win the Preakness Stakes. That is why it is said that the Preakness Stakes separates the triple crowned from the winners of the Kentucky Derby. The Preakness Stakes 2023, an opportunity for Javier Castellano and Mage Venezuelan jockey Javier Castellano won the Kentucky Derby 2023, alongside the horse Mage. A win in this race could put him on the road to the American triple crown. This is why this race will be widely followed by Venezuelan fans of horse riding. The rider who is in the hall of fame of horse riding aims to close with a flourish a spectacular professional career. All eyes will be on May 20 on Javier Castellano and Mage. Javier Castellano with Mage winning the Kentucky Derby Curiosities of the Preakness Stakes Next, we will show you some of the curiosities of the Preakness Stakes that make it unique. Without further ado, let’s get started. “Black-eyed” Susan in the Preakness Stakes One of the curiosities of the Preakness Stakes is that the second race of the American triple crown is that it has an official drink called Black-Eyed Susan (Black-eyed Susan or Black-eyed Susan). Some of the details about the drink are:The cocktail is one of the traditions associated with the second race of the triple crown. Black-Eyed Susan is a mixture of vodka and orange juice mainly. A little whiskey and/or rum is also added. Some versions of the cocktail also include pineapple juice and/or currant liqueur. The glass in which the cocktail is served is garnished with a slice of orange and a cherry. The cocktail is served in a special glass to commemorate the preakness stakes. This cocktail is named after the Black-Eyed Susan flower, the official flower of the state of Maryland where the event takes place. The flower that gives the cocktail its name is also used to decorate the Preakness Stakes.Black-Eyed Susan – The Official Drink of the Preakness Stakes Preakness Stakes trophy The Preakness Stakes trophy presented to the owner of the winning Preakness Stakes horse is a solid silver replica of the original cup designed by English jeweler Tiffany & Co. The original trophy was first presented in 1860 and awarded in 1961. In that year (1961) the Civil War broke out. This caused the original trophy to be buried to prevent theft and ended up melted down as war ammunition. The Preakness Stakes trophy was recovered in 1866. It is 91 centimeters tall and weighs more than 13 kilos. It is made of silver, which together with its historical value makes it invaluable. The trophy is estimated to be worth $4 million. The trophy design features a silver base with intricate decoration, and on top is a tall cup with ornate handles. On the front of the cup is the figure of a rider on horseback in action, representing the excitement and dexterity of the competition. The trophy given to the winner is a replica that is one-third the size and is estimated to be worth about $40,000. Other interesting facts The Preakness Stakes is shorter than the Kentucky Derby. And it generally doesn’t have as many horses as Chucrchill Downs, as only 14 participate in this race. It is rare that all the spaces are occupied in the Preakness, since the average number of horses that run this race is 10. In 2018 only eight horses participated. Some of the riders from the 2019 Kentucky Derby returned for the Preakness Stakes, although the winner of the 145th edition was not there. Nor was the disqualified Maximun Security. But there were some new runners who didn’t race in Louisville. Expectations 2019: Code of Honor and Tacitus were expected to enter the Preakness Stakes following their performances at Churchill Downs. However, both horses did not end up participating in the race. Like the horses Anothertwistafate and Alwaysmining, both of which were not in the Kentucky Derby, but were considered worth considering for the Preakness Stakes. However, the forecasts did not get it right. Anothertwistafate and Alwaysmining came in 10th and 11th place respectively. Did you know? The Preakeness Stakes is not a race to bet on unfavorite horses. Unlike the Kentucky Derby in which people bet on anyone because out of nowhere they can change plans. An example of this is what happened in 2019. All bets revolved around Omaha Beach, but when it was withdrawn they bet on Game Winner. Among other horses trained by Bob Bafert. However, the one least likely to win won. And Country House that came second ended up being awarded, after the judges approved the lack of Maximum Security. While in the second gem of the Triple Crown the horses with probabilities greater than 24-1 are the ones who have won this fair the least. For example, the Master Derby horse with 23-1 odds won the Preakness in 1975. Over the years it has been discovered that in the Preakness Stakes the horse with the best position in betting is the one with the best chance of winning it.

Baffert is also joining the select group of those who have coached two Triple Crown winners following his 2015 outright victory with American Pharoah. “Baffert entered three horses in the Kentucky Derby, and definitely has interests in the Preakness Stakes,” reports the portal https://www.betcris.com/ The start of the horses in the Preakness Stakes The data: Besides Justify, the other undefeated horse to have won the Triple Crown is Seattle Slew in 1977. Victory of Justify Justify was the favorite before the start of the race, and won by mid-distance on his way to the Triple Crown. Originally purchased for $500,000, this equine manages to amass a fortune of $3.9 million in profits during his career. After his retirement, as a result of an injury, rider Mike Smith said he felt disillusioned because he still saw potential to continue. “Like everyone else, I’m disappointed that he won’t run again, but I’m thankful he’s been in my life,” Smith told CNN. “At no point when I rode it did I feel like I was going to be defeated. There was no horse that could with him… there was no horse that could reach him. It’s really a gift from God,” the jockey said. Justify a triple crowned Valuable stallion According to a study by Forbes magazine, in 2018, as a stallion Justify could generate an initial fee of $ 100,000. This would give it a value of up to $60 million based on breeding fees alone if it covered 150 mares per four-year breeding season. And even as their young perform in racing, the value can be higher.Who went to the Preakness 2019? Without Maximum Security, Country House and other copies such as Code Honor, were expected to be presented, although they were ultimately not presented. There is then a small group that ran the Debry and is ready for the second race. Although with the absence of Country House there will be no horse to complete the feat and stay with the Triple Crown. Despite this, some analysts saw horses as Improbable, as the favorite in Churchill Downs, So this could go favored again in Pimlico based on his strong youthful form and his game, runner-up effort in the Arkansas Derby (G1) two starts again. Finally it was War of Will, who had finished seventh in the Kentucky Derby, who took first place. Improbable, the conditions and how the forecasts were Improbable is conditioned by seven-time Preakness-winning coach Bob Baffert, a fact that will attract the support of bettors. So far, the only other Derby starters under consideration for the Preakness are War of Will, which finished seventh with a troubled trip. Win Win Win Win, who connected to finish ninth; and Bodexpress, which faded at 13 after being squeezed out of contention on the farthest lap. There is currently a group of newcomers to the Triple Crown scene who will likely outnumber derby veterans in the Preakness. We’re talking about three horses that have won free moorings to the Preakness by virtue of winning races across the country. They are: Alwaysmining, an easy winner of Federico Tesio betting at Laurel Park; Anothertwistafate, dominant winner of the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields; and Laughing Fox, who sparked a determined rally to win the Oaklawn Invitational Stakes on Saturday at Oaklawn Park. Rounding out the current list of Preakness candidates is Owendale, who unleashed a sharp rally to defeat Anothertwistafate in the Lexington Stakes. With five weeks off until the Preakness, this colt has improved a lot and could have a subtle advantage over colts like War of Bourbon and Signaller, who have been sitting on the sidelines more than expected after losing the Derby. The Preakness Stakes, the second gem of the triple crown, a step to consolidate The Kentucky Derby is the “two most exciting minutes in the sport.” We could say that the Preakness Stakes are the “two most exciting minutes of the Triple Crown”. “There are no two without three” reads a saying and for the triple crown we could say that “there are no three without two”. What happens once can be luck, what happens twice is always possible to happen again. That’s why even the Belmont Stakes will ultimately owe its popularity to what happens in the previous two races. A triple-crowned prospect is only possible when the kentucky Derby winner and then participates in the Preakness Stakes. That is why the emotion of this race is intimately linked to the participation of the winner of the Derby and his possibilities, but only winning the Derby opens that door. For Gustavo Mirabal Castro, the American Triple Crown is one of the great sporting events in the world. It is also one of those times when the horse and its rider are one with destiny. The demonstration that the place of the horse in modern society is next to man. Sources https://gustavomirabalcastro.online/ https://www.instagram.com/gustavomirabal.es/

Gastronomy and Traditions of Holy Week in Ibero-America
Apr08Latin America is an eminently Christian continent. Estaña and Portugal are framed together with Latin America in what we call Ibero-America. All Ibero-America professes mainly the Christian religion. Holy Week is one of the main Christian religious commemorations. Therefore, today we will talk about the Gastronomy and Traditions of Holy Week in Ibero-America Throughout the region, the passion of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice to save humanity are commemorated with great joy and reflection. Holy Week reminds us that Jesus Christ was persecuted, betrayed, delivered, imprisoned, and killed for his opinions and the profession of his Faith. Therefore, today we will talk about the particular gastronomy and traditions in Holy Week in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. The Faith of Jesus Christ that puts at the center love for neighbor, forgiveness, and kindness. According to Christian beliefs, Jesus knew his destiny and did not deny him, because through his sacrifice he would save the souls of men and women. Through His sacrifice He would seal a new agreement between God and mankind. That is why Holy Week is so important, it reflects the suffering of Jesus and the sacrifice he made for humanity. In the same way, there are small differences during the Easter season regarding food consumption. From the point of view of religious doctrine, the restriction of consumption of certain foods is imposed, which leads us to feed ourselves differently. This forces chefs to be more creative during Holy Week. Thanks to this, some of the most delicious dishes in these countries have emerged. Without a doubt an opportunity won. We will see this point later in more detail, knowing that foods cannot be consumed according to Christian religious doctrine. Holy Week in Three MinutesWatch this video on YouTubeTable of Contents. ToggleWhy is Holy Week relevant in Ibero-America?Why is the gastronomy at Holy Week different in the Ibero-American region?Fish as the main protagonist of the Gastronomy of the Season.Star dishes of the Gastronomy of several countries in Holy WeekGastronomy at Easter, a gift from God. Why is Holy Week relevant in Ibero-America? Holy Week is, along with Christmas, one of the most important religious celebrations of Christianity. According to the Christian religion, before Jesus Christ men and women were born stained by original sin, the one for which Eve and Adam were expelled from paradise. Jesus through his sacrifice comes to forgive original sin. With this, Jesus came to establish above punishment and rules, love, learning and forgiveness. Christianity culturally marks all the countries of Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Both Spain and Portugal had Catholic Christian kings. This marked both countries culturally and so it did with their colonies in Latin America and the rest of the world. Just as this colonization left its mark on countries like the Philippines. In some Philippine cities such as Zamboanga Spanish is still spoken. Also, in some African countries Spanish is still spoken as an official language or of great importance. Some of these countries are the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and Equatorial Guinea. Portuguese is spoken in East Timor, Macau and some cities in Malaysia, India and Indonesia The language permeated and remained in various parts of the world. So did religion. An example is represented by the Philippines where 90% of the population is Christian. If there is a region where this influence was decisive in culture, it was in the so-called Latin America. Latin America is one of the largest and most homogeneous regions of the world in the world. In Ibero-America we find almost 700 million inhabitants who can communicate with each other, with common cultural and religious roots. A global community that has great respect for the sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth. In Holy Week Christians pay homage to the sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth Why is the gastronomy at Holy Week different in the Ibero-American region? In the Christian religious tradition, flesh and sins have a great relationship. In the same way sacrifice is seen as a work of piety. According to the different versions you can see red meat related to lust, gluttony, or ostentation. Some also relate red meat to the body of Christ sacrificed for our salvation. They also see the opportunity to deprive themselves of red meat to honor Jesus’ sacrifice. In ancient times, fasting and abstinence from red meat were practiced at Easter. Today the church urges the faithful to abstain from red meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The church also invites believers to make other small sacrifices during Holy Week. Some of the suggested sacrifices are abstaining from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, or parties, to honor Jesus’ sacrifice. This makes Holy Week a very special commemoration that lies at the heart of Christian values. This abstention from red meat makes the Gastronomic creativity during this season rise. That is why the Gastronomy at Easter in Ibero-American countries is so interesting, with exclusive flavors of the season. But let’s discover a little more why the gastronomy of the Easter season is so different. Easter Gastronomy in Ibero-America Fish as the main protagonist of the Gastronomy of the Season. Abstinence from red meat is one of the requests of the Catholic Church. However, there is no recommendation regarding which food replaces red meat. One of the peculiarities of the season is that although chicken is not red meat, it is not customary to use it in Easter Gastronomy. This is because religious tradition links Jesus to fishing, because many of his disciples were fishermen. Even Jesus told His disciples that He would make them “fishers of men.” Additionally, there is the biblical passage of the multiplication of loaves and fishes. With this, fish was closely linked in the Gastronomy of Holy Week throughout Latin America. This is how in the gastronomy of Holy Week great priority is given to recipes and fish-based dishes. Next, you will know some of the most beloved dishes of Holy Week for some countries of the so-called Ibero-American Gastronomy. Easy Fried Fish Recipe | Holy WeekWatch this video on YouTube Star dishes of the Gastronomy of several countries in Holy Week Next, we will know some of the dishes that are prepared throughout some of the countries of Ibero-America for the Easter season. Argentina: Vigil empanadas are the star dish of Holy Week. Prepared with a stuffed thin wheat dough that wraps the tuna or some other fish filling and baked. The Argentine gastronomy of Holy Week also includes salmon, seafood, and fried fish. A delight to visit Argentina this season. Mexico: A strongly religious country exhibits a gastronomy in Holy Week according to its beliefs. In this season they serve soups based on fish and seafood and tacos with fish. Other delicious dishes that you cannot ignore are corn toast with shrimp, shrimp with coconut and fish with seafood filling. Spain: One of the typical dishes of Spanish cuisine during Holy Week is the vigil stew. Vigil stew is a vegetable stew, usually based on chickpeas, spinach and cod. In different parts of Spain, it is made with different ingredients. For example, in Asturias it is called Lenten stew and is made from eggs, peppers, tomatoes and the aforementioned ingredients. Venezuela: In Venezuela, a country with wide coastlines, fish dominates the Holy Week season. One of the tastiest dishes is the cake of “Chucho” (mongrel fish) or dogfish. A cake based on cartilaginous fish seasoned with sweet pepper, onion, and other spices. One of the most delicious dishes you can try, typical of the land of Gustavo Mirabal. In the video below you can learn a little more about that delicious dish and others. Watch this video on YouTube Gastronomy at Easter, a gift from God. Undoubtedly, the Gastronomy in Holy Week in Latin America is the result of the religious influence in the region. Thanks to this religious influence we can have a season full of creativity and surprising flavors. Christians will be able to take advantage of this Holy Week to appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and taste some delicious flavors that fish brings and that do not result in a great sacrifice. And if you are not a Christian it is also an opportunity to taste the delicious gastronomy of Holy Week that at the same time is very healthy, thanks to the fact that it is based on fish and vegetables.

Entrepreneurship and New Business, according to Gustavo Mirabal
Mar13Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship are all the rage. In every finance or economics video we hear about it. The truth is that personal and business entrepreneurship is the source of wealth in many countries. But it is still true that the success rates of ventures are very low. Therefore, today we will know the unique perspective on entrepreneurship and new businesses of Gustavo Mirabal Castro, a financial advisor and serial entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is the buried treasure of the modern world. And like any treasure hunt, there are false maps, death traps, and the simple inability to achieve it. And out of hundreds of treasure hunters, only one can take the prize. This is what entrepreneurship is like… Entrepreneurship in the modern world is a mixture of innovation, determination, brute force, stubbornness, and lots and lots of luck. For Gustavo Mirabal Castro, success is hard work, perseverance, and some luck. Talent is important, but it only matters if you put hard work into it. SME failure rates reach 80% in 5 years and 90% fail before 10 years. Entrepreneurship is the seed of micro and small enterprises that then become medium-sized companies if they manage to survive. That is why today we will know the opinion of Gustavo Mirabal Castro on entrepreneurship and new businesses. We will also know some of the secrets, not so secret, of Gustavo Mirabal’s success. Without further ado, let’s get started. Serial Entrepreneurs, examples of entrepreneurshipTable of Contents. ToggleIs every new business a entrepreneurship?Why do entrepreneurship and new businesses fail, according to Gustavo Mirabal?The psychological profile of the entrepreneur and its importance for entrepreneurshipConscious reaffirmation of psychological attributes to achieve entrepreneurial success.Transformative experiences for entrepreneurship. Is every new business a entrepreneurship? The short answer is no. There are many businesses that are based on existing business models, or on buying and selling products. Entrepreneurship goes far beyond a company. There are those who say that every venture becomes a company, but not every company is an entrepreneurship. The truth is that not every entrepreneurship becomes a company. Especially in Latin America, entrepreneurship remains informal. That is why they are businesses that have not become companies. Only some of them that manage to grow are formalized and follow the upward path. Why do entrepreneurship and new businesses fail, according to Gustavo Mirabal? As we mentioned before, SMEs fail by 80% in the first 5 years. Entrepreneurships have a much higher failure rate, as some never become small businesses.
