“La profundidad es un lujo.
Terminar un libro. Conversar sin un teléfono sobre la mesa. Dedicar más de diez minutos a reflexionar sobre un problema. Escuchar un álbum completo. Escribir sin interrupciones. Estar en un lugar sin sentir la necesidad de publicarlo.
En un mundo que vende distracción masiva, la atención sostenida se ha convertido en el privilegio de quienes deciden. Y viven.“

I have read countless words about love, but never have I come across something quite like this.
The great Russian writer and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky once wrote to his beloved Maria:
"On the street where you live, there are nine women more beautiful than you, seven women taller than you, nine women shorter than you, and one woman who claims to love me more than you do. At work, a woman smiles at me every day, another tries to lure me into conversation, and the waitress at the restaurant sweetens my tea with honey instead of sugar… but still, I love you."
And after marriage, Maria proved to be a devoted wife. She endured his illness, poverty, long journeys, and absences, standing by his side through every hardship. When she lay on her deathbed, Dostoevsky whispered to her:
"Even in my thoughts, I have never betrayed you."
The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning.
