“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

- Calvin Coolidge

Good stuff

matiascb — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 21:49:47 -0300

I feel like I have a lot to say right now, good stuff, by the way… But I’ll keep it to myself, and see what happens. Then if everything goes well, I might write a piece. ‘Til then, I’ll just sit back and enjoy the ride.

“If Tom had learned anything… it was that you can’t ascribe great cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence, that’s all anything ever is, nothing more than coincidence… Tom had finally learned, there are no miracles. There’s no such thing as fate, nothing is meant to be. He knew, he was sure of it now.”

We stop loving

matiascb — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:00:39 -0300

I’ve said it before. We don’t forget. We stop loving.

We’ll never forget someone. We’ll never forget each other.

Let go

Sometimes we just got to learn how (and, maybe more importantly, when) to let go…

“It has always seemed strange to me… the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”

- John Steinbeck, “Cannery Row”

Clients

I thought I knew a lot about dealing with people, and then I started to deal with clients.

Forever

matiascb — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 13:30:28 -0300

How many times we said “forever”? Did we ever think that someday we’d be walking different paths like we are now?

Seems like we have to be more careful when we say “forever”. Or not.

“As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on.”

- John Steinbeck, “Of Mice And Men”

You

I often fall asleep thinking about you. More often lately, to be honest.

A place

matiascb — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 01:19:00 -0300

I don’t need analytics here. I don’t care how many followers this tumblr has. I won’t ask you to reblog my posts. I just want to write. Whatever I want, whenever I want.

It’s a strange feeling though. Everytime we start a new blog we rush to grab the Analytics code, we set up measuring tools, we optimize, we write, make sure we select the correct tags, and as soon as the next hour (not to say minutes) we’re already checking how many hits we had. Not to mention other similar tasks we all do… Again, and again…

So I decided this is not going to be measured by any means. I just want a place to write.

We could

matiascb — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:24:10 -0300

We could be heroes. Or we could pretend we never met. Your choice.

"Friends"

matiascb — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 00:37:03 -0300

So here it goes…

I can’t understand how someone wants to be friends with his/her ex. I mean, you can have a good relationship, but being friends? Sorry, I can’t take it.

Even worst: being friends with your ex’s family. Oh my god, that’s gotta be weird.

One day I'll leave this Tumblr too

matiascb — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 00:21:29 -0300

First of, welcome. I thought I needed a place to write stuff that doesn’t fit on my blog so I opened a new Tumblr.

It was hard to find a url, it seems like every goddam witty url is taken. So I came up with this one: youdontwantthisurl. It’s simple, if it’s not taken, you don’t want it. Oh, I’m such a Tumblr url Jedi (?).
