In My Not-So-Humble Opinion

As it usually happens, we learn from our own mistakes, or as they say where I come from: "If you get bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the tiniest of lizards".However, it is waaay better if we learn from other people's mistakes, knowing upfront that snakes have a sharp set of teeth will save you some trouble, will it not? Use that wisdom that other people gathered, trust those few good friends you have when they start telling you about snakes and how badly the snake bite hurts. That said, here are several good points from Debbie Millman, an american writer/designer, followed with some of my comments and opinions. I read these opinions of hers and I find them being a subtle example of eternal wisdom. All of the points are well worth the effort of achieving them: If you are not making mistakes, you are not taking enough risks .  True as it gets.

Imagine yourself, waking up one day and having this fantastic idea that could change the world. You are not completely ...

The beauty of the internet.This wonderful spaghetti network of cables, routers, devices enabling billions of billions of electrons to interact and form those beautiful 1's and 0's rushing through them like cocaine through addict's veins, right up to our laptop/tablet/smartphone screens. This wonderful place where unicorns feed on rainbow stripes and shit colorful M n' M candies. The place REEKS from cries for attention, lost souls searching for their last stand before they vanish, and those others that are in the process of losing their soul. With all those social networking sites anyone of us can make a simple reality check: read the posts from your friends, followers or whichever social drug you're on, and try to think about why did they post just that photo or that status on their profile. You will then see how much pain, how much cries for help are there wrapped up in a song lyric or a vintage-effect photo labeled with a "Keep Calm" clic...
