Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
Sobreviviendo – Victor Heredia (translation)
They asked how I lived, they asked me
“Merely surviving” I replied, merely surviving
I have a written poem, more than a thousand times in my verse I say
as long as someone proposes death,
over this earth
and arms are being manufactured
I will walk on these fields merely surviving
everyone in the face of danger, surviving
sad and roaming men, surviving
surviving, surviving,
surviving, surviving
It’s been ages since I’ve laughed, it has been a while
and to think that I used to laugh like a goldfinch
I have certain thoughts that upset me
and I can’t forget about Hiroshima
such a tragedy,
over this earth
Today I want to laugh if possible
I no longer have the laughter of a bird,
nor the calm of the pine trees during the month of January
I roam through this world merely surviving
Surviving, surviving
Surviving, surviving
I no longer want to be a mere survivor
I want to choose the day for my demise
I have young flesh and my blood is red
a good set of teeth and fertile seed
I want the fruit of my loins
I don’t ever want to see animals protesting for world peace
how I would laugh at such a crazy sight – that they would be marching for life
while us humans are just surviving,
merely surviving
surviving, surviving
surviving, surviving

Victor Heredia, Argentine folk singer, released this song in 1984. This is a humble translation to English of vivid metaphors.

Agile Frameworks
The three things I find are benefits of adopting an agile approach to work (and not just IT projects) are:
1. Only working on the highest priority items at any point in time
2. Better communication and feedback loops
3. Demonstrated early results that are continuous
Apart from that, the required involvement of stakeholders provides better accountability and less need for arduous status reporting.
Good, better, best
Never let it rest.
Till your good is better and your better – best
The truth will set you free

Sundays afternoons in Summer are worth the wait. We’d wish they’d last the entire year.

Opinionated
People after getting to know me might wonder why I am so opinionated. I think I’ve spent the first 15 years of my life just being quiet and absorbing everything in. Analysing things for so long has brought me to conclusions during the next 15 years. I’m really just getting started on delivering my views and conclusions. I don’t think this will stop anytime soon. So yes, I can come across as opinionated but it’s only after so many years of being observant.
