is Giving.

André Gide.



Hi Everyone, especially all the new ones that are reading the blog for the first time, to whom I dedicate this entry. The vast majority of them are colleagues of mine from high school to whom I am rediscovering the wonder of Facebook.

I also apologize for not being written with the continuity that I did, different things occupied me, but I'm here.

The phrase I chose this occasion is:

"Choosing is giving up" of André Gide.

I know both Mr. Gide, but a little more than someone who listens, his name is Eduardo Garza , directs the company Synthesis Project, consultants human processes as they are called.

Many years ago I was fortunate to take a course with him, where I first heard of emotional detachment, or as he called it, "hooking" , that we have spoken, and also listen to a conference on ethics where he mentioned the phrase.

"Choosing is giving up" is as they say in the administration, is the "opportunity cost" , for example we have a lot of money and must decide between buying new clothes or go on a trip, or have a party or renovate the room. By selecting an option, we give to others, the opportunity cost is that selecting for example the room, we will not buy clothes, maybe we urge that you have this very badly treated, or the trip, we fall well a break, or the party that long ago that we share with friends.

Some people are paralyzed and do not choose, but "No choice is a choice" , you may not spend our money, but ultimately decided not to. Choose

is inherent humans, spends all day every day of our life. Choose, at certain moments trouble, why, what we have to give up, you may not want to do, so then, "Choose without, divide" 're not here decide, but wherever these resignations. It's like someone decided to leave the design career and opt for accounting, it obviously does not enjoy being an accountant, but not a designer either. We can also

"Quitting without choosing" , and that diminishes us, it's like just obey the "No" s of the rules, "Thou shalt not steal", "No Lies", without being really aware that choosing to , but what is this by refusing to choose, ie "If" "If I take care of property of others," If I offer to be honest with people, "

What is important is not to waste time thinking about how our lives would be instead of that decision, we took the other, it is not appropriate, given that the important decisions of our lives make us the people we are today, not be who we are without those decisions . So, if you do not like who you are, there's just time that can serve, and is the present, the decisions you make today are what will lead you to be who you want to be.

I send a big hug to everyone. Undivided

Manent.
