«Ningú no és una illa, complet en ell mateix. Cada home és un bocí del continent, una part de la terra; si el mar s’emporta una porció de terra, tota Europa queda disminuïda, tant li fa si és un promontori, o la casa d’un dels teus amics, o la teva pròpia casa: La mort de qualsevol home m’afebleix perquè estic lligat a la humanitat. Per això mai preguntis per qui toquen les campanes: toquen per tu.»

John Donne

Seize the day

CARPE DIEM

Do not let the day end without having grown a bit, without being happy,without having risen your dreams.

Do not let overcome by disappointment.

Do not let anyone you remove the right to express yourself, which is almost a duty.

Do not forsake the yearning to make your life something special.

Be sure to believe that words and poetry it can change the world.

Whatever happens, our essence is intact.

We are beings full of passion. Life is desert and oasis.

We breakdowns, hurts us, teaches us, makes us protagonists of our own history.

Although the wind blow against the powerful work continues:

You can make a stanza. Never stop dreaming, because in a dream, man is free.

Do not fall into the worst mistakes: the silence.

Most live in a dreadful silence. Do not resign escape.

"Issued by my screams roofs of this world," says the poet.

Rate the beauty of the simple things.

You can make beautiful poetry on little things, but we can not row against ourselves. That transforms life into hell.

Enjoy the panic that leads you have life ahead. Live intensely, without mediocrity.

Think that you are the future and facing the task with pride and without fear.

Learn from those who can teach you. The experiences of those who preceded us in our "dead poets", help you walk through life.

Today's society is us "poets alive." Do not let life pass you live without that.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Amistad a lo largo

Pasan lentos los días y muchas veces estuvimos solos. Pero luego hay momentos felices para dejarse ser en amistad. Mirad: somos nosotros. Un destino condujo diestramente las horas, y brotó la compañía. Llegaban las noches. Al amor de ellas nosotros encendíamos palabras, las palabras que luego abandonamos para subir a más empezamos a ser los compañeros que se conocen por encima de la voz o de la seña. Ahora sí. Pueden alzarse las gentiles palabras --esas que ya no dicen cosas--, flotar ligeramente sobre el aire; porque estamos nosotros enzarzados en mundo, sarmentosos de historia acumulada, y está la compañía que formamos plena, frondosa de presencias. Detrás de cada uno vela su casa, el campo, la distancia. Pero callad. Quiero deciros algo. Sólo quiero deciros que estamos todos juntos. A veces, al hablar, alguno olvida su brazo sobre el mío, y yo aunque esté callado doy las gracias, porque hay paz en los cuerpos y en nosotros. Quiero deciros cómo todos trajimos nuestras vidas aquí, para contarlas. Largamente, los unos a los otros en el rincón hablamos, tantos meses! que no sabemos bien, y en el recuerdo el júbilo es igual a la tristeza. Para nosotros el dolor es tierno. Ay el tiempo! Ya todo se comprende.

Jaime Gil de Biedma

In the fight

"You have no enemies, you say? Alas! my friend, the boast is poor; He who has mingled in the fray Of duty, that the brave endure, Must have made foes! If you have none, Small is the work that you have done. You've hit no traitor on the hip, You've dashed no cup from perjured lip, You've never turned the wrong to right, You've been a coward in the fight."

Charles Mackay

Couldn't wait 'til I got outside Wondering, what the world be like I knew I had to change my mind Didn't realize it would happen, oh, so soon, oh, so soon But I see the world so different now But there's a place by the sea and that's my town When I don't know what to say When I don't know what to do There's a room I need to sit in Surrounded by my favorite view And I need a hand to hold Someone to tell the truth Would it be okay if I came home to you? Independence comes with a price When questioning your own advice But I know I'll be alright With an open door, no matter what I do, what I do But I see the world so different now But there's a place by the sea and that's my town When I don't know what to say When I don't know what to do There's a room I need to sit in Surrounded by my favorite view And I need a hand to hold Someone to tell the truth Would it be okay if I came home to you? No, I don't want to keep on coming When I'm miles away And you're too far away Oh, but if I need you to remind me That nothing has changed Would it be okay, would it be okay for you? And I see the world so different now 'Cause there's a place by the sea and that's my town When I don't know what to say When I don't know what to do There's a room I need to sit in Surrounded by my favorite view And I need a hand to hold Someone to tell the truth Would it be okay if I came home to you? No, would it be okay if I came home to you?

Empathy & Strategy

"Game theory is as much about empathy as it is strategy, and it is crucial to understand what drives your “opponent”. Strategic reasoning – as emphasised and developed in game theory – is about putting oneself in the shoes of the other players in the game being played.[...] That is, before deciding on what actions to take, and before selecting one’s strategy, it is critical to first think through how other players in the game would react to the several alternative actions that one could choose from. It is this “what if” style of reasoning that lies at the heart of game theory: determining the “what if”, as if you were the other player.[...] second fundamental principle of game theory: as in physics, any action will invite a reaction. The need to anticipate the different and responsive moves of your fellow players, before they have happened, and then make decisions informed by such a “what if” analysis, lies at the heart of game theory. It is known as the “look forward and reason backward” principle. To succeed in the game, you must be able to look ahead to all possible future outcomes – and use this foresight to establish the most suitable immediate choice. " Abhinay Muthoo [source: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-dominic-cummings-game-theory-boris-johnson-parliament-supreme-court-a9106926.html]

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” by Marianne Williamson (A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles)

Be part of the equation

"We have always needed to understand. Why are things the way they are? Where do we come from? What lies ahead? For thousands of year we have devised models and principles to explain the world we see around us and the worlds we cannot see. We are who we are because of the questions we have asked. Our world is what it is because of the answers we have found. Imagine what's next. Right now we are on the edge of great breakthroughs on the edge of understanding our universe from the infinitesimal to the infinite... ...today's theoretical physics is tomorrow's technology. The future is ours to build. The time is now, to challenge convention, to accelerate discovery, to advance Humanity to build a brighter future. There has never been a better time to be part of the equation." Perimeter Institute

Ensenyaràs a volar… però no volaran el teu vol. Ensenyaràs a somniar… però no somniaran els teus somnis. Ensenyaràs a viure… però no viuran la teva vida. Ensenyaràs a cantar… però no cantaran la teva cançó. Ensenyaràs a pensar… però no pensaran com tu. Però sabràs que cada cop que ells volin, somniïn, visquin, cantin i pensin… estarà en ells la llavor del camí ensenyat i après! M. Teresa de Calcuta

ROLL THE DICE if you’re going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don’t even start. if you’re going to try, go all the way. this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind. go all the way. it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. it could mean freezing on a park bench. it could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. isolation is the gift, all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. and you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds and it will be better than anything else you can imagine. if you’re going to try, go all the way. there is no other feeling like that. you will be alone with the gods and the nights will flame with fire. do it, do it, do it. do it. all the way all the way. you will ride life straight to perfect laughter, its the only good fight there is. Charles Bukowski

A naïve solution to learn English by computational thinking, but unfortunately the learning of human languages is much more complex than that...

Live True

if it doesn’t come bursting out of you in spite of everything, — don’t do it. unless it comes unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut, — don’t do it. if you have to sit for hours staring at your computer screen or hunched over your typewriter searching for words, — don’t do it. if you’re doing it for money or fame, — don’t do it. if you’re doing it because you want women in your bed, — don’t do it. if you have to sit there and rewrite it again and again, — don’t do it. if it’s hard work just thinking about doing it, — don’t do it. if you’re trying to write like somebody else, — forget about it. if you have to wait for it to roar out of you, — then wait patiently. if it never does roar out of you, — do something else. if you first have to read it to your wife or your girlfriend or your boyfriend or your parents or to anybody at all, — you’re not ready. — don’t be like so many writers, — don’t be like so many thousands of people who call themselves writers, — don’t be dull and boring and pretentious, — don’t be consumed with self-love. the libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep over your kind. — don’t add to that. — don’t do it. unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket, unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder, — don’t do it. unless the sun inside you is burning your gut, — don’t do it. when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen, it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it until you die or it dies in you. there is no other way. and there never was. by Charles Bukowski

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
