Somewhere, some time, and at some point, our paths crossed, and some part of me became part of who you were. This didn't happen by accident. We spent a considerate amount of time together, talking and laughing, sharing stories and jokes, and thinking and planning our futures. Clearly, it was difficult not to absorb some … Continue reading I became you

Living and Learning
Whatever you do, protect your motivation and self esteem at all costs. What you are attempting to do is very hard, and you should expect to suck at it for a long time. In fact, you should expect to repeatedly suck at it as you move up to more and more complex things. Don't hate … Continue reading Living and Learning
Life goes on

Life is what happens to us while we are making plans – a so-called John Lennon had already said that. “Life is What Happens To You While You're Busy Making Other Plans.” — John Lennon. Life usually teaches lessons the hard way. … Continue reading Life goes on
Recuerdos, decisiones, aciertos y errores
Recuerdos van, recuerdos vienen. Pienso en todos los aciertos y errores que he cometido para llegar a donde he llegado. Porque que seríamos sin todo esto?

No wonder people feel stressed out and depressed as a result. The social media image of happy people looking like they have it all figured out sometimes makes … Continue reading Overachievers are overrated
Slow down
When was the last time you stopped for a moment and took a look around you and the pace everything seems to be moving at? Life seems pretty fast? Months feel like weeks, weeks like days, and days like hours. And 2018 is almost over. We're always trying to beat time when in reality time … Continue reading Slow down
Figure it out
Perhaps one of the most underrated skills in life — figuring things out on the go, as you start a new job or a new project; while trying to learn a new language, skill, tool; or when trying to switch careers.
