Time after time good ideas are wasted in poorly designed apps. The problem, usually, is the lack of understanding of the target of the app, and how the app is going to be used in the real world. The world of the app has to be chartered before the first line of code. We have to figure out what we…

Después de un tiempo,
uno aprende la sutil diferencia
entre sostener una mano
y encadenar un alma.

Y uno aprende
que el amor
no significa recostarse
y una compañía
no significa seguridad.

Y uno empieza a aprender….
que los besos no son contratos
y los regalos no son promesas
y que uno empieza a aceptar sus derrotas
con la cabeza alta y los ojos abiertos,
con la elegancia de una mujer y no el pesar de un niño…

Y uno aprende a construir
todos sus caminos en el hoy,
porque el terreno del mañana
es demasiado inseguro para planes…
y los futuros tienen una forma
de caerse en la mitad.

Y después de un tiempo uno aprende
que si es demasiado,
hasta el calor del sol quema.
Así que uno planta su propio jardín
y decora su propia alma,
en lugar de esperar
que alguien le traiga flores.

Y uno aprende….
que realmente puede aguantar,
que uno realmente es fuerte,
que uno realmente vale la pena…

Y uno aprende y aprende,
con cada adiós uno aprende.

— Jorge Luis Borges

The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.

— Alan Alda
