I write here, with great affection for all the patients I attended in my career as a psychologist. I write here for all the friends and friends of the friends. I write here for my daughter, my mother and my wife. I am disgusted and the text is long and loaded.
This notion that everything has its drawer, therefore, clear, organizable, suitable, and adjustable limits, may be useful for material things, socks, shirts, cutlery. But when we think about the dynamics of life processes, there is no point where an end ends and a new beginning begins. Both are merged into a continuous and indissoluble amalgam.

Being born without arms is not a personal choice.

A quantidade de pequenas e grandes tarefas que precisam ser executadas diária, semanal, mensal e anualmente é gigante. Ela é tão grande que nosso cérebro aprende rapidamente a executar a maioria delas sem que nem tomemos grande consciência desses processos. Boa parte das tarefas mais mecânicas são realizadas por puro condicionamento, sem que precisemos pensar ou gastar energia extra para resolvê-las.
The number of small and large tasks that need to be performed daily, weekly, monthly and annually is huge. It is so big that our brain quickly learns to perform most of them without even being aware of these processes. Much of the most mechanical tasks are done by pure conditioning, without having to think or spend extra energy to solve them.
Esse esforço desafiador, uma mistura de responsabilidade com seu ideal, compromisso com seus projetos e fé em si mesmo, é uma delícia de ser vivido, mas é lindo de ser observado. Assistimos filmes e mais filmes, documentários atrás de documentários, lemos livros depois de livros buscando a inspiração e o entusiasmo trazido por histórias de conquistas e derrotas baseadas nesse esforço desafiador do empreendedorismo.
This challenging endeavor, a mixture of responsibility with your ideal, commitment to your projects and faith in yourself, is a delight to be lived, but it is beautiful to be observed. We watch films and more films, documentaries after documentaries, we read books after books looking for inspiration and enthusiasm brought by stories of achievements and defeats based on this challenging endeavor of entrepreneurship.
And here we come to psychology! A little history and philosophy, some biology and biochemistry, and we have the necessary basis for a psychological discussion.
