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.

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? La vida es una toma de decisiones constantemente y cada decisión tiene dos partes: la buena y la mala; lo que se gana y lo que sé pierde; lo … Continue reading Recuerdos, decisiones, aciertos y errores
