Sólo 30 años

steve jobs

I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I’m only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I’ve got at least one more great computer in me. And Apple is not going to give me a chance to do that.

Steve Jobs

[Siento como si alguien me hubiera pegado en el estómago dejándome sin aire. Sólo tengo 30 años y quiero tener la oportunidad de continuar creando cosas. Sé que tengo al menos un gran ordenador más en mí. Y Apple no va a darme la oportunidad de hacer eso.]

Perspicacia

blogger

“I didn’t begin as a reporter at my school paper (was rejected, actually) or an intern at a magazine. I began as a blogger. In 2003. Sources didn’t return the calls of bloggers in 2003. And so I developed a heavy reliance on, and a healthy attachment to, the ugly stepsister of reporting: research. Since I couldn’t depend on experts to tell me what they thought, I had to read what they’d written. And that had some drawbacks — there really is no substitute for talking to people — but also some advantages. The difference between reading a think tank paper and interviewing the author is the difference between learning what an expert thinks you should know and learning what you think you want to know. There are advantages to both. But I think traditional outlets have a tendency to overvalue the benefits of interviews and undervalue the benefits of document diving.”

Una aventura audaz

«Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.»

-Hellen Keller -via hellovagina

[La seguridad es mayoritariamente una superstición. No existe en la naturaleza, ni los hijos de los hombres en general la experimentan. Evitar el peligro no es más seguro a la larga que la exposición frontal. La vida es una ventura audaz, o nada]

“Her haunting me. The way a song stays in your head. The way you think life should be. How anything holds your attention. How your past goes with you into every day of your future.”

— Chuck Palahniuk
