“Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”
Lou Holtz
(Habilidad es lo que eres capaz de hacer. La motivación determina lo que haces. La actitud determina qué tan bien lo haces.)

Orwell’s Questions
What am I trying to say?
What words will express it?
What image or idiom will make it clearer?
Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?
Could I put it more shortly?
Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?
Cambios
Casi todos sueñan con cambiar y pirarse a otro lado o existir de otra manera. Esto no va de vacaciones. Dicen que hay una crisis económica que nos vamos a tragar todos. No dicen que hay una crisis existencial que masticamos desde hace tiempo.
Orwell’s Rules
Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, scientific word, or jargon if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
