~Sanskrit Proverb October 09 Words of Advice from Bill GatesLife is wonderful, but it is also challenging at times. The following advice comes from one of the most successful businessman in history, Bill Gates. He recently told a group of high schoolers about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. I want all of you to be very successful, so consider some of his words:
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it. Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. --There may be virtual reality, but there is no such thing as virtual happiness-- ~Bill Gates

Author: Tallulah Bankhead July 25 Crónica de una obsesiónRecomendación para leer: De lo que ya no se está a tiempo es de esperar..... Reconozco que nunca he sabido apreciar la diferencia entre orgullo y dignidad..... Sí me va a llamar. Lo hará, tarde o temprano, y utilizará ese tono tan conocido de culpabilidad, "no te puedes creer cuánto lo siento, ha sido un fallo imperdonable, espero que no me lo tengas en cuenta, es que estoy muy liado, tú sabes cuánto te aprecio..." Pero me gustaría que me lo demostrara con hechos, no con palabras. Y, si al menos fuera con palabras, que éstas no llegaran por teléfono cada tres o cuatro meses..... Quedar como buenos amigos para que, si alguna vez nos vemos, podamos decirnos sin remordimientos "hay que ver, cuánto tiempo..." Es la forma cobarde de terminar sin dar la cara. "No me llamaste. Sí... tú a mí tampoco"... Perdido para siempre..... No. Lo malo, lo todavía peor, es que se le pasan los días y las noches sin acordarse ni un solo instante de mí. Estoy segura de que no quiere perderme, pero hoy por hoy no formo parte de su vida. Ni siquiera de un minuto de su vida..... Voy a esperar sentada, sin mover un dedo para ponerme en contacto con él, a pesar de mis noches de insomnio..... La obsesión y el orgullo van siempre de la mano..... Dice Nietzsche que con todos los grandes embusteros se produce un hecho digno de notar al que deben su poder. En el acto concreto del engaño se ven poseídos por una fe en sí mismos: es esto lo que llama la atención de una forma tan milagrosa y tan poderosa a la gente que les rodea. Quizás fue eso lo que siempre le protegió.....Mi obsesión se desmorona, porque ya no quiero su presente, sino que añoro su pasado. Y todo eso no sé si me llena o me deja totalmente vacía..... Hace unos años me preguntaba qué podía esperar de él. Afecto, cariño, amistad, complicidad... Recuerdos. Buenos recuerdos de los buenos momentos vividos. Desde hace unos meses, cuando me hago la misma pregunta, la respuesta es mucho más clara: Nada. De él no puedo, ni debo, esperar nada. Ya nada..... No confundamos el cariño que se puede sentir por algo ya pasado y lejano (y, por tanto, idealizado) con los deseos del presente..... He cometido ese error que nunca se debería cometer. El de sentirse culpable. Y, peor aún, reconocerlo. No lo pude evitar. Después de meses sin tener ninguna noticia suya, quise saber de él. No supe cómo hacerlo, y en esta ocasión quería -y necesitaba- algo más que oír su voz..... Después de disculparse varias veces y decirme que tenía muchas ganas de verme, me dijo -sin pretender hacerme daño, con toda seguridad-: "Si quieres nos vemos el sábado por la mañana, que no tengo nada que hacer". Naturalmente, yo tenía tantas ganas de verle, que lo único que esperaba es que no le surgiera nada más importante. Y entonces me di cuenta de la humillación, y me puse a llorar con la esperanza de que ninguna mosca se colara en su cocina porque, sin duda, intentando acabar con ella ya tendría algo más importante en que ocupar la mañana..... Él se había dado cuenta de su terrible error conmigo: se le había olvidado que teníamos una cita. Quería recompensarme: "Yo te llamaré, te lo prometo.". Sus promesas las conozco, por eso le dije: "Bien, me llamas tú. Yo no pienso llamarte. También te lo prometo."..... Pero estoy absolutamente convencida de que esta vez no seré yo quien descuelgue el teléfono para llamarle. Y lo siento. Precisamente porque ya no soy una adolescente, sé donde hay que poner un punto final. Otra cosa es que lo haga...
Hay situaciones muy similares, no importa en que lugar del mundo sucedan, la edad, el clima... nada importa.
