  • racism is in the little things

    Racism as much as maschilism is in the little things. It’s in those small phrases, conceptually wrong, but socially acceptable. It’s in the “come on, I was joking”, it’s in the subtle things that lies in our head even though we don’t say.

    When racism explode and you’re not part of that movement it doesn’t necessarely means you’re out of it. There might be from time to time thoughts, misconceptions, that belong to racism. And thus you have that racist part you have to get rid of.

    But when it explodes it means that everyone has something to fix. Even those against racism.Because those things are hidden in the daily life, in the little things, in the things we don’t consider dangerous, but truly are.

  • looking at mars

    These days mars is more red, luminous than ever. Probably because of the distance from earth.

    We were lying on our bed, looking at the red planet, her body defined by the shy lights of the city, defining her borders in the night.

    In days like this I wonder: Will we have the chance to remember this. Will I remember this moment? Is there a way I can fix it into my memories?

    Hard to know. Many great moments pass by, many terrible moments are sculpted into our brain like there’s nothing more important.

    But we wish, hope, that some moments might stay with us a longer period of time.
    Those moments when we feel we’re grasping the beauty of it right in the middle, and not after years. Those moments where you realize that yes, this is where I want to be.

    We should have more of these moments, more of the realizations that keep us present, living each and every instant of our life, focusing on one at a time, because that’s our life, and time, goes.

  • the hardest most viable product

    When you want to create something big, how do you decide when the product it’s ready for showtime? When you’re at the most good viable product that people can enjoy?

    When you’re spending too much time refining, when you’re starting to lose passion, that is the extreme time when you should play the all-in. All or nothing, because chances are that if you wait more you’ll lose timing, excellence, customers.

  • less work

    To have a company that will work well when you can’t be there you have to design as many workflow and automations possible. You have to remove yourself from the variables, from the parts of the engine that are required to work.

    You must become the captain that leads the way in the dark times, that steers away from the perils,you must be useless for the day to day task, but needed to let the company grow.

  • consistency

    It doesn’t matter how good you are, how your idea are better than others. The only way to make them real is to be consistent, to show up each and every day, rain or sunshine. Keep pushing until you make it.
