Eso dice una cancion de Lila Downs, que suena mientras te escribo. Y que mejor titulo para recordar todo eso que llevamos con nosotros mientras vamos por la vida.
Hoy te escribo desde Sao Paulo (aunque el dia ya se acabo aqui, yo sigo con el horario de Montreal), ya que vine al Primer Encuentro Latinoamericano del World Cafe, asi como a un curso de Liderazgo Conversacional. Estoy aprendiendo muchas cosas, pero me encuentro fisica y emocionalmente cansada. Como sabras, acabo de iniciar mi maestria en Intervencion en Sistemas Humanos y la tarea de conseguir un cliente para Metodos de Consultoria esta probando ser agotadora.
Por otra parte, tantos dias en Brasil, platicando con brasilenios hace que el esfuerzo de entender portugues rinda frutos, lo que me llena de gusto. Ademas, tuve la oportunidad de conocer personas maravillosas, que me hacen pensar que mejorar el mundo no solo es posible, sino inminente. Veo que hay tantas personas comprometidas con el cambio, la igualdad, la honestidad y el amor, que no puedo hacer menos que sentirme honrada de compartir la mesa y el trabajo con ellas.
Ahora que mi proyecto principal, la maestria, ya esta encaminado, puedo empezar a dedicar mas tiempo a otros. Por lo pronto, ya di lo que la guardiana del espiritu del World Cafe recomienda: el siguiente paso minimo y elegante. Ahora, solo me queda lo que dice Beatriz, otra guardiana brasilenia del World Cafe: la urgencia, hay que ir, e ir ahora, porque el tiempo se va.
Solo me queda mandarte un beso y decirte que te sigo extraniando. El vacio que dejaste no lo llena nada, pero la busqueda de ese paliativo me ha permitido encontrar personas maravillosas.
Feliz cumpleanios Abuelito!

Peter's Laws
Peter Diamandis’ Laws for Life
Peter’s Laws ™
The Creed of the persistent and passionate mind
1. If anything can go wrong, Fix It!!… To hell with Murphy!
2. When given a choice… Take Both!!
3. Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
4. Start at the top then work your way up.
5. Do it by the book… but be the author!
6. When forced to compromise, ask for more.
7. If it’s worth doing, it’s got to be done right now.
8. If you can’t win, change the rules.
9. If you can’t change the rules, then ignore them.
10. Perfection is not optional.
11. When faced without a challenge, make one.
12. “No” simply means begin again at one level higher
13. Don’t walk when you can run.
14. Bureaucracy is a challenge to be conquered with a righteous attitude, a tolerance for stupidity, and a bulldozer when necessary.
15. When in doubt: THINK!
16. Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
17. The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
18. The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.
19. The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself!
20. The ratio of something to nothing is infinite.
21. You get what you incentivize.
22. If you think it is impossible, then it is… for you.
23. An expert is someone who can tell you exactly how it can’t be done.
24. The day before something is a breakthrough it’s a crazy idea.
25. If it were easy it would have been done already.
26. Without a target you’ll miss it every time.
27. Bullshit walks, hardware talks.
28. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
29. The world’s most precious resource is the passionate and committed human mind.
30. If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.
