"don't much about history.
don't know much biology
don't know much about science books
don't know much about the french i took
but i do know that i love you
and i know that if you love me too
what a wonderful world this could be"

Once in the discovery channel I saw one guy that was fed up with being a broker in Wall Street, so he decided to give up everything and do something different.

Today, he is the main gardener od the Getsemani Garden in Jerusalem. He wakes up every morning and checks if the tomatoes are ok.

Someday I will wake up with him.

Darwin said once that the species adapt to the enviroment where they live, therefore, allowing the evolution process.

If this is true, I'm afraid that my children will born with a strange mutation. A 20 inch TFT screen half a meter away from their faces.

Today, it came to my mind when my brother was once 3 stressed weeks deciding if he should buy the Ipod of 4 GB or the 30 GB one.

I arrived to the conclusion that the human being is designed to be worried.

Even If you don't have real problems, you always tend to find insignificant ones that keep you worried enough to continue living.

So, in this line of reasoning, problems are one more tool to avoid the boredom in our lifes.

-So..when did you start not adding sugar to your coffe?

-Well, When I was 18 i went to live to an student apartment. I remember we had one package of sugar once. We finished it and nobody bought sugar again. Then, you learn a valuable thing in the student life. Learn how to live without the necessity, and hope that someday someone will take care of it.

Maquiavelo said once:

It's better to do one thing and to regret than not doing it and regreting.

Sometimes I think that if you fix the problems fast, the only think you get is to arrive to the following problem faster.

So, actually it is better to get used to the same problem, not trying to solve it, so the next ones won't show up.

Traditional techniques to avoid undesirable questions from your advisor while reading your paper.

All your work from now on will be based on these fundamental sentences

- "As far as I'm concerned..."

Meaning: I'm lazy to find more information or I really don't want to find something better than mine.

- "The detailed analysis of this aspect is out of the scope of this paper"

Meaning: I have absolutely no idea about what i'm talking about but amazingly is necessary to get all working.
