Cuanto más pesada sea la carga, más a ras de tierra estará nuestra vida, más real y verdadera será. Por el contrario, la ausencia absoluta de carga hace que el hombre se vuelva más ligero que el aire, vuele hacia lo alto, se distancie de la tierra, de su ser terreno, que sea real sólo a medias y sus movimientos sean tan libres como insignificantes.
La insoportable levedad del ser, Milan KUNDERA.
Why did they change their ways of treating me? I came to the realization that it was because I had a mother. My mother spoke highly of me, and to me. But more important, whether they met her or simply heard about her, she was there with me. She had my back, supported me. This is the role of the mother, and in that visit I really saw clearly, and for the first time, why a mother is really important. Not just because she feeds and also loves and cuddles and even mollycoddles a child, but because in an interesting and maybe and eerie and unworldly way, she stands in the gap.

Just on the same week I have run twice into different Simon Sinek TED talks. This second time the source is different: IEM Caring, a new organization just created with the goal of enhance the contribution of Industrial Engineering current and former students to the society.
I am specially excited about how Simon Sinek describes the ability to inspire others as a leadership skill, just as I always say.
