Write.

In order to be able to call yourself a writer, all you have to do is write. But I have another piece of advice: Don’t go passing out business cards emblazoned with that word just yet.

Malcolm Gladwell is a fascinating writer (one who deserves those business cards) who has an uncanny knack for extrapolating from mundane facts and ideas from an oblique — and unique — angle. In his book Outliers: The Story of Success, he describes an intriguing concept popularly known as the 10,000-Hour Rule. Simply stated, it points out that most people who become highly accomplished at one endeavor or another have at least one thing in common: They’ve worked at it for 10,000 hours.

(As it was narrated to me)
The Window
In a hospital room, there were laying two patients. They both were showing signs of the age, and were put side by side. One of the patients was paralyzed, he cannot even sit on the bed. The other one was next to the only window in the room.

The paralized patient asked the other, to tell him what he can see through the window, so he can, at the very least, keep a bit of contact with the outer world. The patient next to the window agreed with him, and several times a day he told what

May I read your mind?

by Basilio Guzmán on January 04, 2012

Recently, I discovered I have a rare talent to read other people minds. Actually, I don't read the  mind but, sometimes, while talking with somebody, they get surprised on how I can guess intimate things that are not so evident to other persons they have met before.

Let me tell you how the thing developed. Since 1999, taking my first steps in the “new” universe of the internet, I start chatting. Being a shy person, talking anonymously to people around the globe, made me feel like a fish in the ocean. Soon I learned to figure things people didn't put in their public profiles. I managed to catch guys impersonating girls, and vice-versa, and kids trying to pass as adults. Shortly, I could figure the whereabouts people was trying to hide for several reasons, just by reading the text on the tiny screen of the chat window.
