It’s not enough to be right. You have to be able to sell it. —Ryan Holiday. I am not talking about money, I am speaking about being effective with your words. Good writers write about what people want to read. Great writers write about what people NEED to read. And you need to read this—even if it […]

“The Ice man was as lonely as an iceberg in the dark night.” —Haruky Murakami. Life cools your heart as the years go by. The losses, the goodbyes, the disappointments. The cold does not heal the wounds, but it anesthetizes the pain. When you grow up, you learn to detach yourself from things, dreams, and […]

“Nature hides. It does not reveal. All this luminous and dark universe whose sum of energies we call nature is a mask, a dress, a dream. Nature is not Isis but the veil of Isis.” —Fernando Pessoa. The Egyptian goddess Isis was so powerful that, according to Egyptian mythology, she resurrected her husband and protected […]

Do it because it is powerful. When you are aware that you will die, you don’t let opportunities slip away. When you are aware that you will die, you don’t get bitter about silly things. When you are aware that you will die, you focus on your goals and being happy. When you know that […]

With Leon Tolstoi’s permission, I will version one of his stories. The story goes that some children found a seed so ample that it looked like a hen’s egg and sold it to the Tsar. The Tsar did not know if it was a seed or an egg until a henpecked the strange object, and […]

To be patient is to seek balance while being aware of the prevalence of chaos. Chaos is the force with which the universe makes you grow. Perfect balance does not exist and should not exist because if something did not destabilize your life, everything would be flat, static, and boring. And your life would be […]

A dying man once said, “I only regret not having been a good man.”  That comment left a mark on me. Since then, I have had a rule, “Don’t do anything I won’t be proud of twenty years from now.” And I’m not always clear about what’s right and wrong, and I have to trust […]

“Concentrate every minute like a Roman on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from all other distractions.” ― Marcus Aurelius. Your energy diminishes during the day. If you want to dedicate the maximum of your potential to something, the best thing you […]

Birkin: The handbag that costs more than US$25,000. In 1984, during a flight from Paris to London, Jean-Louis Dumas, artistic director of Hermès, met the actress Jane Birkin. Jane kept complaining about the impracticality of her tiny handbag (they were small at the time). She needed space because she was a new mother, and she […]

I’m a writer. And that means I have a first-class ticket to the circus of clutter.  My life is spent between NewYorker essays, Charles Bukowski Poems, Murakami novels, and lots of cartoons that enhance my creativity.  All artists have faith. Without faith, you can’t be an artist. Because you have to believe that all of […]
