Nos quisieron insultar diciendo que los mexicanos olemos a mandarina.
Pues sí… y también a café de olla, a pan de muerto con azahar y naranja, a canela, a tortillas recién hechas y a tierra mojada cuando llueve. A ponche de frutas en navidad y a granada en septiembre. La verdad, sí nos tocó oler bonito. 🇲🇽🍊
I don’t want a soft life because I’m lazy. I want a soft life because I’ve spent most of my life in survival mode. my nervous system has been in fight or flight since childhood and now I’m choosing peace and stability.
“Can you explain the gap in your résumé?” Yes. I spent 10 months applying for jobs and couldn't get hired. Four of those months were spent waiting to get through your hiring process.
Cuando Virgina Woolf dijo: “Hay una especie de tristeza que surge cuando se sabe demasiado, cuando se ve el mundo como realmente es” describió perfecto lo que significa crecer.
I don’t care how “efficient” the private sector is.
Some services should never be run as businesses.
Health care. Water. Electricity. Gas. Prisons.
If a company makes more money when people get sicker, stay locked up longer, or have no choice but to pay, that’s a system built on conflicting interests.
Las ayudas arbitrales lo enmascararon un poco, pero LO MAL que juega Argentina es alarmante.
No tienen nivel para una final del Mundial. Esto es así: le duela a quien le duela.
A reporter asked Lamine Yamal how he handles the pressure of carrying Spain at 18. His answer: my mother had me when she was 16, that's real pressure. My father picked things off the street to bring food home, that's pressure. All I have to do is play football.
That's the whole story of who he is, and most fans only know the surface of it.
Before he was born, his teenage parents fell behind on rent. Two neighbors named Lamine and Yamal covered them, and his father vowed his son would carry both names forever. His legal name is a permanent record of a debt his family couldn't repay in money. In Arabic, the names mean "the trustworthy" and "beauty."
His parents split when he was around 5. His mother raised him in Granollers on a fast food wage. And here's the detail almost nobody knows: that job is the reason he became a footballer. Through work she met the daughter of the youth coordinator at CF La Torreta, his first club. When she worried she couldn't cover the fees, he told her that if the boy wants to play, money will never be the reason he can't.
As a kid, Lamine told his parents: if you're counting on me getting a normal job, we're in trouble. But if I become a footballer, you'll never have to worry again.
He signed with Barcelona at 7. He was right by 15.
Every goal, he flashes 304 with his fingers. The end of 08304, the postal code of Rocafonda, the neighborhood where strangers paid his family's rent before he existed. It gets credited on every goal since.
Today, at 19, he plays for the World Cup. And if he scores tonight, somewhere in the biggest broadcast on Earth, two neighbors will hear their names, and a postal code will flash on 2 billion screens.
