Advancements in technology have transformed the way that we correspond with others in the modern world. Because of the constant buzz in our technological world, it's easy to forget how important communicating face-to-face is.

Micro-contos, a renovação da linguagem (+livro Insólito, de Paulo Fodra)
Hoje irei falar sobre algo de que gosto muito: os micro-contos. Até por causa da admiração que tenho pela obra do autor português Gonçalo Tavares, principalmente por sua série o Bairro, o pessoal que acompanha o blog já deve ter notado que gosto muito de contos curtos, bem trabalhados formalmente e surpreendentes, irônicos ou reflexivos.
Por isso, decidi falar um pouco sobre esse assunto, inspirado pelo lançamento do livro Insólito, do escritor Paulo Fodra (@paulofodra), que ocorreu alguns dias atrás. Devo admitir que não li o livro, mas li alguns dos micro-contos e gostei muito. Inclusive, sempre tive vontade de criar textos deste tipo e de postar no twitter, mas nunca tive muita criatividade. Acho que começarei a tentar me dedicar a arte. “Pegou um dos cacos de seu coração partido e degolou a infeliz. Why It’s Ok to be Introverted, and an Interview with Writer Susan Cain. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! I’m someone who could be considered ‘in his head’ a great deal and definitely what one might call an ‘introvert‘.
When Susan Cain’s book, ‘Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking’, came along, I dove into it with some enthusiasm, possibly as a means to find some comfort in dealing with and understanding the ‘affliction’. Susan and her book have made great strides in spreading an understanding and a well-researched insight into this important area of what it is to be human.
As the book shows, introversion is by no means an ‘affliction’ but a true blessing to those that possess the trait, and there is much we can learn about people through understanding it better. Susan, an introvert herself, spent many years researching for the book, and this shows, as the book is rich in citation, reference and concrete facts.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! With the passing away of hugely influential science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury I wanted to cobble together a quick post to discuss one of my favourite quotes of his: “Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy.
Though the first part of the quote is hugely important, I’d like to take a closer look at the latter part (which relates to the first part anyway). I think there is merit in the idea of ‘trying something’ at the its basic level of meaning. At a deeper level, however, when we’re actually talking about physically doing a particular action, in a certain moment, to ‘try’ is sabotage. Trying, in its true sense, means that what you are doing is dependent on outcome. When you operate with this mindset when you undertake anything in life, you are hurting yourself, and possibly others too. This applies to so much in life.
