Mathematics
How to control a group of students? How to trust them and yet be fair to everyone? How to be their friends while ruling over? These are some of the questions sitting still on my mind waiting for practical answers. Today I’ll teach Mathematics to 50 students. It’s been a great experience so far. I […]

Today’s a new day!
It’s very strange that March is the mid-point of the European Academic Year. I’m Brazilian. I’m used to first semester from January to June, and then, second semester from July to December. I had to force myself to think during yesterday to realize half of the 2021-22 year had passed. So what? So that today’s […]

Hypocrisy of War
Last week, I felt like writing about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s invasion. I had been reading about him and the war. I learned about the countries that had been part of URSS and how dependent and aligned with Russia they are nowadays. I also learned about the members of NATO. I read articles and watched […]

Being a Foreigner
I identified myself with the rapper Morad yesterday as I watched his interview with Jordi Évole at La Sexta. This is because I’m a foreigner in Spain, as he is. With many differences, it’s clear. His family is from Marocco, mine is from Brazil. I was born in my home country, he was born in […]

“It feels so good to be alive!”
I celebrated my 28th birthday last Friday. It felt so good to be alive! “Got all my family by my side”, as Beyoncé says in her new song. I tested positive for covid on Wednesday, so I spent the weekend just with my wife and two kids – and I loved it! On Sunday we […]

The time we have.
After 5 years, I finally watched the movie Darkest Hour yesterday. I had just watched The Dig on Netflix when I decided to press play on this awarded movie about Winston Churchill’s hardest struggle as UK’s PM. The Dig is set on the brink of World War II, so it made me very curious to […]

Nadal was trying to win his twenty-first grand slam. Medvedev was trying to win his first Australian Open. Rafael was competing for his second Australian Open. Daniil was competing for his […]

Good news about work
I heard the instructor say in my morning meditation at headspace today: “Let’s just face it: most of us have to work anyway. Why not to try to make the most out of it?” His argument is valid. And can be convincing to the most resigned people. However, I wondered, is that the only reason […]

Family and Entrepreneurship
Why am I interested in these two topics? Because I want to be a good husband and father. And because I want to be a creator. Therefore, I need and enjoy knowing ever more about family relationships and creative processes, i.e., entrepreneurship. I believe there are intersections between both topics. To create a family is […]

Remember your Baptism
Last week, a close friend and I were discussing about our weaknesses and my friend seemed very discouraged to keep trying to do what is right, what he understood would lead him to happiness. He said: “I’m not worthy. I’ll always fail”. I couldn’t help to identify myself with him. The next day I went […]
