Hi there!
It is more than a year now that I haven't post anything new. So many things have happened in the last months: interesting topics to research, new colleagues to work with, teaching activities, new students with amazing way of thinking,....many things indeed!
Speaking about "many", about "quantities", sometimes I forget the amount of people that is living in this planet. We are many in this world. The amount of people in this planet has been increasing. Actually, this number has increased exponentially in the last century, as you can check here!!!

Among all this amount of people, sometimes I wonder about certain facts that might be happening right now, in some unknown places, done by unknown people. An infinite number of good and bad facts that are constantly occurring. Regarding the bad facts, they would be affecting the environment, the people, the near future of a person, family, society, population or nation. We can enumerate several types of bad actions cause we see them daily, or read or hear about them in the news, and I prefer not to think about them when writing these lines.
Instead, I prefer to think about those actions that could improve or help to every person. Actions you probably don't read in the newspaper or see in the street, but they are for sure happening now. And the examples could be so diverse. Right now, one or more of the following things are occurring:
- There is a guy somewhere in South America, trying to paint as good as possible something that he has in mind, finding the proper colors and lines, discovering a new technique. This person is not a professional, has never sold a painting, but this detail is not important now.
- There is a girl in an apartment in Asia, trying to play the entire music score of a concerto for violin and orchestra. The rehearsal is taking many hours a day, she knows is tough, but she also knows that the time to get a nice execution is very close.
- In a certain village in Europe, an unknown rock band is playing in a bar, the accords from the guitars are simply great and the drums push you to enjoy the gig. They are right now the best rock band in the world.
- After some years raising her children, a mother in Australia is ready to retake her tango lessons. She has been listening tango for years, by chance while she was walking close to a music shop, and got fascinated. For her, every tango lesson is like an open window where she takes fresh air.
Each of these actions is just a tiny step away from the glory, from a personal glory, certain kind of plenitude. I prefer to think that everyday somebody is creating some fantastic thing after a long time rehearsing, practicing, improving.
See you around!
