Reseña del libro "As long as you remain standing (en Inglés)"
WHAT IS THIS COLLECTION OF NOTES ABOUT? On Monday, 19 December 2005 I wrote, if you don't get up and continue walking after stumbling, "you will end up flat on your face. People - friends, family, and some strangers - will help you up to a point. But after a while they, too, will continue their own journeys. That is simply how it is." On Thursday, 2 June 2011, I wrote about my own partner: "If you're not happy, she will help you overcome whatever obstacle is in your way. She will help you solve your problem. She will insist on it - even, if necessary, at the expense of her own happiness. But if you don't co-operate, if you fail to do your part to make yourself happy, then you can go to hell as far as she is concerned." There are quite a few friends, family members, and even some strangers I can thank for assistance over the years, but one fact remains: If you want to make it through another day, it's your responsibility to do what you have to do to stay on your feet, and when you stumble, getting back on your feet and continuing the journey must be your firm resolve. The notes and essays in this collection were written between 1994 and 2017. It demonstrates my own modest efforts over the years to stay on my feet and to see the journey to its end.
