work or travel? that is the question




Advertencia para el viajero!
Bienaventurados los que no viajan jamásy los que apenas sienten deseos de conocer países remotos,ya que ellos gozarán de una vida apacible y llena de regocijo.
Bienaventurados también los amantes de los viajesque en sus períodos vacacionales recorren brevemente diversos lugares del planeta,pues ello les aportará enseñanzas enriquecedoras y les colmará de experiencias dichosas.
Pero ¡ay de aquellos que han osado emprender el Camino del Viajero!Porque ello no les dejará ni un momento de quietudy les substraerá de los demás intereses de este mundo;se afanarán únicamente por intentar satisfacer en vano su insaciable pasión por los viajesy nunca considerarán haber viajado lo suficiente.A esas almas vagabundas sólo les aguarda desasosiegoe infinita ansiedad por aprender sin cesar sobre todos los rincones de la Tierra,sobre la naturaleza de los seres que la pueblan,y sobre el significado de su propia existencia.
Jorge Sánchez
A word of Caution!
Blessed be they who never traveland they who scarcely feel any longing to get to know far away countries- for they may enjoy a calm life and one full of delight.
Blessed also are they who take short trips to far-flung parts of the planet during their holidays- for they will derive enriching education and most enjoyable experiences.
But woe to those who dare to set forth on the Route of the True Traveller!This will not leave them with a single moment of mental peaceand it will remove them from all other worldly interests;they will strive in vain to satisfy an insatiable craving for more traveland they will never believe that they have travelled enough.All that awaits these nomadic souls is a permanent restlessnessand an unceasing anxiety to learn about every corner of the earth,about the natural history of the beings that inhabit itand to assess the meaning of their own existence.
Jorge Sanchez


I was working at home when my friend Marcos sent a mail with this

I was thinking about my economic future, the new proyects and possibilities for me. Five minutes ago I was studying chinese, writing sentences and finishing my homework......
estaba pensado mi futuro economico, los nuevos proyectos y posibilidades. Cinco minutos antes estaba estudiando chino y terminanado mis deberes de la academia.
always looking for things, lately I am feeling that every seconds in life is important, it is not possible to stop when you want to work, study...discover, enjoy...
my brain, after reading Jorge's story, started to travel cycling, my brain wants to discover new routes,new people, news places....
siempre buscando cosas, ultimamente siento que en la vida hay que aprovechar todos los segundos, no es posible parar cuando quieres estudiar trabajar....descubrir , disfrutar....
It's hard work for me, it's not easy studying two lenguages at the same time, but is my priority, for this I need money, not a lot of money like the comsumist people, only for living....I am lucky, I love my job....
but Milana is waiting for me.
later, I was thinking in travel, my friend called me and said " weak up, work and don't dream"
Thanks, hermano mayor.
En la actualidad, como golf coach “free lance” (más “free” que “lance”), intento finiquitar los lazos economicos que me unen al pasado y preparame para otro largo viaje.....

un besazo para mi madre, la mujer mas feliz del mundo durante "la feria de abril"
and "congralutations sister". Good luck, viejo! en la feria.
