The way to have good ideas is to get close to killing yourself. It’s like weightlifting. When you lift slightly more than you can handle, you get stronger. In life, when the gun is to your head, you either figure it out, or you die.

Zuko: For so long I thought that if my dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now, my dad talks to me. Ha! He even thinks I'm a hero. Everything should be perfect, right? I should be happy now, but I'm not. I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!
Azula: There's a simple question you need to answer, then. Who are you angry at?
Zuko: No one. I'm just angry.
Mai: Yeah, who are you angry at, Zuko?
Zuko: Everyone. I don't know.
Azula: Is it Dad?
Zuko: No, no.
Ty Lee: Your uncle?
Azula: Me?
Zuko: No, no, n-no, no!
Mai: Then who? Who are you angry at?
Azula: Answer the question, Zuko.
Ty Lee: Talk to us.
Mai: Come on, answer the question.
Azula: Come on, answer it.
Zuko: I'm angry at myself!

Povoamento
No teu amor por mim há uma rua que começa
Nem árvores nem casas existiam
antes que tu tivesses palavras
e todo eu fosse um coração para elas
Invento-te e o céu azula-se sobre esta
triste condição de ter de receber
dos choupos onde cantam
os impossíveis pássaros
a nova primavera
Tocam sinos e levantam voo
todos os cuidados
Ó meu amor nem minha mãe
tinha assim um regaço
como este dia tem
E eu chego e sento-me ao lado
da primavera

When an idea has electricity in it you will have no choice but to move into action. And you will love it because it will set your heart on fire.

he wants people who make, say 30,000 dollars a year, to understand that they are not poor. In fact, they ARE the 1% they complain about. As of January of 2013 almost half the world lived on less than $2.5 a day, and 80% of the world lived on less than $10 a day.

IDEAS ARE THE CURRENCY OF LIFE. Not money. Money gets depleted until you go broke. But good ideas buy you good experiences, buy you better ideas, buy you better experiences, buy you more time, save your life. Financial wealth is a side effect of the “runner’s high” of your idea muscle.

Tendedero
Mi madre cuelga ropa en la soga,
echa al sol nuestras cosas: blusitas,
pañales, toallones...
(... ya no azula las prendas
con azul de lavar)
A veces se queda mirando la espuma
y en el fondo de su corazón
grita una niña.
Ella la friega, la estruja,
(... y la niña tiembla
en la tarde limpia)

The practice is addictive, or, perhaps a better expression is “habit forming”. Once you start practicing you will crave it and will practice everywhere you go, in your brother’s terrace, an airborne plane (in the kitchen area until the kick you out), behind the airport counter or just all out in full display while waiting for the next plane out of Dubai.

I left the old man, and now I’m heading back toward where I left everyone—but wait—I’m picking up the vibrations of a tremendous
battle being fought. This fight is major!
Powerful bending energy is being released, even buildings are crumbling! I have to follow these vibrations. . . . What is this place? An abandoned city? There’s Aang, Katara, and Sokka. They’re battling that powerful Firebender who was
following us in the tank. And there’s that guy Zuko that Aang was telling me about, and—the old guy I just met? Something strange is going on here. . . . Okay. Turns out the Firebender is
Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. And to my surprise, the old man I met in the woods is actually Zuko and Azula’s uncle Iroh; he’s fighting Azula. I can’t believe that cool, old guy is from the Fire Nation, and I can’t believe he’s related to the Fire Lord. . . . But I can’t think about that now. . . . Now it’s time to get in on the action and blast Princess Azula’s tights off. WHOOSH! I cut loose an Earthbending blast, knocking Azula off her feet. “I thought you guys could use a little help,” I called out to Aang and the others. “Thanks,” said Katara. Even SHE’S glad to see me. Time to corner the princess and see how tough she is, then. . . .
