"The neurodevelopmental approach to learning has given much hope to those with learning, speech, mobility and academic problems. By providing specific stimulation to eliminate sources of inefficiencies, function has been improved in all areas, labels have been defied, IQ's have changed and learning has been accelerated." | Translation - Spanish
"El enfoque del desarrollo neurológico aplicado a la educación, ha dado mucha esperanza a aquellos con problemas académicos, de aprendizaje, lenguaje, y movilidad. Mediante la aplicación de estímulos específicos con miras hacia la eliminación de aquellas fuentes ineficaces, se han conseguido mejoras en todas las áreas, y así se han desafiado las etiquetas, el coeficiente intelectual ha cambiado y el aprendizaje se ha acelerado." | English to Spanish: LA HUMANIDAD: RELIGION SUPREMA

HUMANITY: SUPREME RELIGION
Religion is the ladder through which one can reach the Almighty! Immorality throws the being into lower yonis (forms of birth); making him the inhabitant of hell; this has been expounded by our holy scriptures, incarnates, saints and prophets. We must carefully listen to what they say since our welfare truly lies in it. If we keep working within the confines of ego and attachment, we would not be able to achieve anything but grief. It would be extremely foolish to bear long lasting sorrow just for the sake of transitory pleasures. It is by God’s immense grace that we have got this human form; now, with all this if we do not achieve our goal or at least walk a few steps towards our goal, it would be too big a misfortune for us. Secondly, it is through His extreme blessings that we have also been granted the aegis of a ‘Poorna Guru’ (God Realized Guru). | Translation - Spanish
LA HUMANIDAD: SUPREMA RELIGION
La religión es la escalera mediante la cual uno puede alcanzar al Todopoderoso! La inmortalidad lanza al ser dentro de un estado inferior el yonis (una etapa de nacimiento); haciéndolo un habitante del infierno; esto ya ha sido expuesto por medio de las sagradas escrituras, las encarnaciones, los santos y los profetas. Debemos escuchar cuidadosamente a lo que ellas nos dicen ya que nuestro bienestar depende verdaderamente en esto. Si continuamos operando mediante los confines del ego y de las ataduras carnales, no lograríamos alcanzar mas que la pena y el dolor. Sería muy necio de nuestra parte, el que soportemos la pena y el dolor simplemente por desear los placeres transitorios. Es por la inmensa gracia de Dios que tenemos esta forma humana; no obstante, con todo esto, si no logramos llegar a nuestra meta o al menos caminar unos pocos pasos hacia ella, sería una gran desgracia para nosotros. En segundo lugar, es mediante Su bendición extrema que se nos ha concedido el aegis de ̈Poorna Guru ̈ o Guru realizado por Dios. | English to Spanish: HUMILITY: RECOGNIZING WHO WE REALLY ARE

Humility: Recognizing Who We Really Are
By Randy Alcorn About Humility
Romans 12:3 says, “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment.” This is what humility is—it’s recognizing who we really are. What Scripture has to say about who we really are is not a great compliment. We’re sinners. Even before we were sinners, we were still small, finite beings, and we always will be.
But it’s okay to be small. What’s not okay is to be a sinner. But that’s the state that we’re in through our own choice. That’s our very nature. Yes, Scripture says we all sinned in Adam, but we are all sinners in our own lives.
Humility is recognizing our own unworthiness and the fact that I literally deserve to go to Hell for all eternity. If I come to grips with that, then I don’t have high expectations that everybody should celebrate how great I am, because I am not great.
Now, at the same time, we could go overboard with that and spend our whole lives thinking about what rotten people we are and not celebrate what Christ has done for us. In Christ, we are cleansed of our sin. Scripture says, “He has made him to be sin for us, he who knew no sin, that we may be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). In this same context, Romans 12 goes on to talk about each of us having spiritual gifts given to us from God to serve for the good of the body. There is the humility of service that comes from using our gifts, so we’re not celebrating these great gifts that we have, but instead we’re using them to honor Christ and to serve as He did. He’s the One who came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.
Christ is our model of humility. Philippians 2 talks about how He lowered Himself. This is our privilege: to be humble servants of God. If you’re a servant of God, and somebody treats you like a servant once in a while, you don’t claim your rights and get indignant about the fact that you were treated like a servant. Hey, you’re called to be a servant! And it’s a high calling. Jesus was called to be a servant and has given us an example that we should follow in His footsteps.
When a great athlete does something admirable, but they’re the ones to rave on and on about their greatness, it doesn’t appeal to us or to God. That’s not humility; that’s pride. Pride pushes us away from God; humility draws us toward God. Humility puts us on God’s side, so to speak, where we agree with God about our true condition and our true need for Christ. Even as Christians, we need Christ today just as much as we did the day we came to faith in Christ. That’s something we should never forget.

La Humildad: Reconociendo quienes somos en realidad
Por Randy Alcorn Sobre: La Humildad
Traducción: Silvia Griselda Buongiorne
Romanos 12:3 dice, “digo a cada uno de vosotros que no piense más alto de sí que lo que debe pensar, sino que piense con buen juicio, según la medida de fe que Dios ha distribuido a cada uno." Y esto es lo que es la humildad - es el reconocer quienes somos en realidad. Lo que la Escritura tiene que decir acerca de quiénes somos de verdad -no es un elogio. Somos pecadores. Incluso antes de ser pecadores, éramos seres pequeños y limitados, y siempre lo seremos.
Pero no importa el que seamos pequeños, lo no está bien es el que seamos pecadores. Sin embargo ese es el estado en el cual nos hallamos por razón de nuestra propia opción. Es nuestra naturaleza propia. Sí es verdad que la Escritura dice que todos hemos pecado en Adán, sin embargo también somos todos pecadores en nuestras propias vidas.
La humildad es el reconocer que no somos dignos, y que en realidad merecemos literalmente irnos al Infierno por toda la eternidad. Si llegamos a afianzarnos de esta verdad, entonces no tendremos grandes ilusiones de que todo el mundo celebre nuestra grandeza, porque en verdad no la tenemos.
Ahora bien, al mismo tiempo podríamos desbordarnos con ese pensamiento, y pasarnos toda la vida pensando en lo podridos que somos como personas y esto nos impediría el que celebremos lo que Cristo ha hecho por nosotros. En Cristo somos limpiados de nuestro pecado. En este mismo contexto, Romanos 12 continúa hablando acerca de que cada uno de nosotros tiene dones espirituales dados por Dios para servir al bien del cuerpo. Hay una humildad en el servicio que proviene del uso de nuestros dones, así que no estamos celebrando estos grandes dones que tenemos, sino que los estamos usando para honrar a Cristo y servir como Él lo hizo. El vino no para ser servido, sino para servir y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
Cristo es nuestro modelo de la humildad. Filipenses 2 habla acerca de como El se humilló. Este es nuestro privilegio: el ser siervos humildes de Dios. Si eres un siervo de Dios y alguien te trata como un sirviente de vez en cuando, no deberías reclamar tus derechos e indignarte por el hecho de que te estén tratando como a un criado. ¡Oye! para eso has sido llamado, para ser un siervo. Y es una vocación alta. Jesús fue llamado a ser un siervo y nos ha dejado un ejemplo que el cual deberíamos seguir - caminando en Sus pasos.
Cuando un gran atleta realiza una proeza admirable, y sin tregua, se felicita a si mismo de su grandeza, eso no nos agrada ni a nosotros ni a Dios. Eso no es el ser humilde; de lo contrario es ser orgulloso. El orgullo nos aleja de Dios, la humildad nos acerca a Dios. La humildad nos pone del lado de Dios, por así decirlo, un lugar donde estamos de acuerdo con Dios acerca de nuestra verdadera condición, y necesidad de Cristo. Aun como Cristianos, necesitamos a Cristo hoy en día de la misma manera en que lo necesitábamos cuando nos convertimos por primera vez. Esto es algo que nunca debemos de olvidar.

Greetings from Alaska,
As a professional translator who loves the craft, I regularly check job-opening posts seeking for new and interesting challenges. Your website drew my attention.
I was born in Buenos Aires, from Anglo/Argentine/Italian/Welsh parents, an am fluent in Spanish and English since early childhood. I graduated from a bi lingual British boarding school in BA and hold certificates from the Escuela de Idiomas de Madrid, Cambridge University Overseas Branch and a Fine Arts degree from Covenant Life College, BC.Canada where I majored in Voice Performance.
With over 20+ experience as an in house interpreter/translator and educator in various organizations, in the US, Spain, Argentina and the UK, I am able to tackle a variety of translation jobs as well as audio transcription/translation in both English and Spanish as needed. That said, I am presently involved in pro bono and remunerated work using my skill set. Working as a bilingual instructor, as well as business formal and casual translator between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking communities is something I particularly enjoy.
I have done many hours of live interpretation and translation in either language, mainly in the realm of independent church organizations. This is my particular interest and area of expertise. Thus, I have been in contact, through my work as an instructor and interpreter, with people from all walks of life, where being bi lingual in both languages has been a plus.
As a professional I strive to give my full attention to the project at hand, doing my research, looking up special terms, and not relying solely upon my CAT tools. My commitment is to you, and my aim is to maintain a professional and open relationship by working within your budget and time constraints. I believe you will find my rates to be reasonable and I am open to negotiation for a final quote, which is agreeable to both parties.
You can find my CV and work resume attached. Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you believe I would be an asset to your teamwork project. I would love to hear from you and am excited at the possibilities the future holds.
Sincerely
Silvia Griselda Buongiorne
