Every mistake I make, allows me to see how much more there is to learn. The more wrong turns I take, the less scared I am of making the same ones over again. The more lessons I go through, the less I regret adding to this wealth I call experience. The more experience I ultimately enjoy surviving, the less time I realize I have in this lifetime - to learn it all ↗

Although my belief in the world returned to me, I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it. ↗

#death

One may escape from the prisons of experience, ideology or philosophy, but it is impossible to escape from the reality of one's innermost self. Understanding this, I had freed myself from nostalgia, and having done so, what remained was to free myself from the prospect of the future. ("The Tower") ↗

I could not have asked for a better friends or a better life, but there’s a nasty trick about living. It happens at its own pace and in its own way and you never, never know what’s coming next. So you keep running and running to keep up with it and most people get tired. Others don’t get tired. They just get overtaken by the road. ↗

If we don't learn from each others experience, we are forced to listen to people who have economic reasons to withhold critical information from us all. The other option is to wait for the government to tell us what their financial supporters want us to know. ↗

A pleasant life is based on pleasure; a good life is based solely on good things happening to us, but a meaningful life comes from a deep sense of fulfillment, and the acceptance of life as it is. Experience all, but center yourself on the last one. ↗

We define learning as the transformative process of taking in information that, when internalized and mixed with what we have experienced, changes what we know and builds on what we can do. It’s based on input, process, and reflection. It is what changes us. ↗

La falta de experiencia es inevitable, si leo a Joyce estoy sacrificando automáticamente otro libro y viceversa, etc. ↗
