Mastery


The Barcelona' soccer team has won the Champions League Trophy after winning also this season the other two most important national competitions, it's been quite amazing, they have played extraordinarily. The personality behind this serie of triumphs, who's been able to put together the best of all players has been Pep Guardiola, the new coach, and former player in the team himself. To me he has shown an unshakable commitment to the team -and all that it means from a national perspective-, an unbreakable vision and admirable force in his positive expectations about its performance and outcomes, and exemplary humbleness -key in transferring power to the team-, with a capacity to remain with his feet on the ground so the players could fly.


Hopefully these lessons may be aprehended by some true teachers and moreover, clever parents, because being a true teacher, a good one, is not merely about showing off or passing on information, it's mainly about being able to see what is not in front of oneself, about envisioning, maintaining the positive expectations, it's about human faith, imagination and empowerment. Well, it's about love indeed. It may be after all about going against the flow of mediocrity, stupidity and systematic standarization, it's difficult indeed but to me this is the better practice of intelligence: realising and valuating the potencials.


I recall Einstein mentioning about the power of imagination over knowledge, this is kind of important today that we tend to pay more attention to the facts, the figures and the visual imperatives of experience. The other day I read in a publication on PNL that "we are not our behaviour but our best intentions", it may not sound very realistic but who is not finally feed up of reality in this existence? I think that men are created for higher realms than reality and we are more profound and rich than it. And if one wanna solve anything in the world one need to approach any issue from a different level than the one where the problem was originated, ain't it? it's simple perspective's theory. Don't remember where the quote comes from but yes, "it is not healthy to be well adapted to a society that is profoundly sick".

Beating off any form of crisis

Going along with some music revivals from other decades that are taking place currently I found this: it's an ageless song, sort of an eternal revival and indeed, what a beautiful teamwork boy.

"Youth's ideals"


In this world of wild natural circumstances and crazy human systems I guess it's better to remain in the rebel spirit of adolescence permanently, not as cultivating any childhis personality or defying some of the valuable lessons about oneself obtained through experimentation, but rather treasuring that sort of basic freedom instict in the non-conventional aception of the term, that one able to make oneself questioning things frequently, thinking out of the box - with attached fears or guilt of any type, I think the results are always enlighting -, performing crazy adventures, to never be contented enough with reality as it's everyday presented.


I refer here to not letting die of those ideals, dreams, nonconformity, worthwhile neurosis if so, that accompany adolescence; I find this to be the most important force inside the human being in order to improve reality. Also as time goes by adolescence starts acquiring much more positive denotations as the gap between chronological age and feasible opportunities in the world expand. I see that adolescent spirit guided investigations -individually or teamed- tend to bring one back to the encounter with one's inner self -the one society will never accept after all-, capabilities, limitations, opinions and all the unimaginable richness lying into the interior universes of conciousness, wich is excellent, despite some tasks can be harder character builder-like to some, but no doubt that the things achieved in the practice while one is in those " travels to Itaca" can be remarkable.


Not loosing sight of that youngster within we carry out, of that humble attitude, and the reasonable contradictions, make it possible to me to contribute better in this world and collaborating in transforming it into something non only more ecological but more environmentaly friendly of one being to another, who knows, maybe the next May of the 68 won't be as noisy and eccentric as that old revolution was, but a more subtle and ambitious one, with a higher degree of a true positive impact in a desired future. If you find it appealing and you can, please try mainly to have fun along the way, avoid boredoness, fight negativity/phantoms, try re-inventing yourself whenever you need it, adapting to the most permanent of things that we really know: the change flow. I would say, why not engaging in conquering for life the adolescent who less attention received from us in those hisghschool years, who was like the frog hidding a royal crown behind? it was only that by that time we were already too old to believe in fairytales, and well, honestly, it's indeed never too late.
