Tuércele El Cuello Al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje.
Era en la mañana.
Apenas las luces, primeras luces del día, solían aparecer en el salón de clases.
Era especial pasar de la noche oscura del dîa a las 7 am, a la entrada del crepúsculo del dîa a las 7.01 am, en sólo un minuto digamos,( sin ser preciso en el tiempo, sino solamente mencionarlo como referencia), y pasar del anochecer al amanecer literalmente en un minuto, de lo oscuro a la luz, de las lámparas amarillentas que iluminan el salón de clases, a la luz natural del amanecer que lo ilumina todo con facilidad.
Y entonces estar en la clase de Español, con mi maestra alta, espigada, güera, de tez blanca, en sus 30’s, que pareciera española de cepa, y pasar por esa clase de “Tuércele el Cuello al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje” de Enrique González Martínez.
Y lo recuerdo mucho, no tan sólo a él, sino también el tema.
Y es que realmente Don Enrique hizo una propuesta, y no sé si sepa el tedio de trabajar siempre lo mismo, escribir siempre lo mismo, poner las misas cüitas de donde mismo, de “copiar y pasar”, que este autor decide figurativamente “Tuércele el Cuello al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje”, y eso era una rebeldia frente a un romanticismo que ya estaba agotado, que ya debería empacar sus maletas y subirse al avión para aterrizar en una selva perdida. Entonces el autor hace unas propuestas muy hermosas como
“ Huye de toda forma y de todo lenguaje,
Que no vayan acordes con el ritmo latente
De la vida profunda… y adora intensamente
La vida, y que la vida comprenda tu homenaje”.
Entonces es aquí, donde se observa toda la gama, amplia, vasta, inmensa del lenguaje no sujeto a clichés, formas, contenidos dados por otros, sino sólo vive… “la vida profunda y adora intensamente la vida”, pero al final que “la vida comprenda tu homenaje”, y resalta aquí el autor “la vida” porque el autor ya no busca su propia gloria ni su propio reconocimiento, vamos!, ni su propio ritmo en el verso, sino más bien que la poesía sea libre en el verso, y su aportación en la escritura sea significante, que tenga algo profundo, en lugar de las quimeras, paraísos, duques, palacios, amores y palabras llenas de rimas altisonantes, pero faltas de contenido “Tuércele el Cuello al Cisne de Engańoso Plumaje”.
Y entonces uno mira el concepto que encierra el concepto de “Torcerle el Cuello al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje”, y da con algunas ideas.
“Tuércele el Cuello Al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje” con los likes, porque masifican e imponen una personalidad masificada en un individuo que es único, y no desea que su valor, sea en función de millones de likes, sino en función de ser uno mismo, y no quiero que me malinterprete, porque no digo que los likes son malos, digo que son buenos cuando tienen una personalidad definida, un nombre que responde al contenido, que no son copias de lotería, o barajas de naipes, o cartas marcadas en historias perdidas, o bolts de companías con inteligencia artificial que magnifican las cantidades para dar sentido de cantidad, no de cualidad. Y entonces tener likes de “elprincipedeasturiasaquipresente” (1 Like), “soytumamaidiota”,(1 like) “TitoCaputitoPaServirleAUsteYAsuMerced”, (1 like) “PrincipedeAsturiasApoyandolalabordeTitoCaputito”, (1 Like), ‘PrincipeWilliamsEnAgenteSecretodelFBi” (1 like), “AutolikedePrincipeWilliamsqueapoyasulaborsecreta” (1 like)… No Manchen! Como decía mi sobrina
“Tuércele el Cuello Al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje” con los copiados, con los “copy and paste”, porque sólo expresan una mentalidad negligente, con una falta de compromiso de la persona para comprometerse personalmente a esgrimir ideas propias, a pelear principios, con nombres propios, para plasmarlas, como espadas en un duelo de esgrima, para que seamos como oradores en un Partenón, discurriendo las virtudes de la verdad, del amor, de la esencia del ser humano, de su propósito, de su fin, en una cultura que propicia lo vacío, lo simple, lo de fácil copiado.
“Tuércele el Cuello Al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje para decir que los likes no serán los huesos de Pavlov, en condicionamientos de experimentos con animales -siendo humanos- de “portante bien y recibes hueso y likes”, sino WTF con sus Pavlovs y sus likes, con los conductismos de Pavlov para realizar ciudadanos en serie, homogéneos en el comportamiento, porque la esencia no estará en los otros, sino en lo que un individuo piensa, acierta, concluye, define, aplasta, esgrime, acentùa, compromete, establece; y defiende con su espada, con sus palabras, con su raciocinio, sus ideas, las analiza, las sopesa, las esgrime, tira espadas aqui y allá, pero conoce al oponente como en todo concurso. No tira la espada a fantasmas, a espiturus, a almas sin cabeza, a caricaturas, a mofas de si mismos y lo que pretenden ser, sin cara, sino seres humanos cabales que tienen una boca para expresar y decir, y defender. Y los que participan en el discurso, en la arena, en el podium, son seres honorables que tienen una cara, un nombre, un pronunciamiento, una definición, y como parte de ello, se enfrentan en los rings, en las arenas, en los podiums con su decir, porque sus ideas son claras, están sujetas a análisis, a revisión, les podemos agregar o quitar, pero del otro lado existe una cara definida, con un pensamiento que expresa travez de una boca suya. Se hacen discursos de altura, se oyen dos oponentes con caras, con nombres. No andan nombres con nombres ficticios, ni risas de si mismos.
Porque al final de día, lo ùnico que diferenciará a uno de los otros, serán lo que producen nuestras ideas y pensamientos, y si nos queremos diferenciar de los demás en un mundo de 24 billones de personas, es mejor empezar por hacer lo que somos, pensar lo que somos, producir lo que somos, entramar lo que pensamos, hacemos y decimos, para generar productos e ideas únicas; que para reproducción de los demás, ya tenemos millones de copias.
Tuércele el Cuello Al Cisne de Engañoso Plumaje cuando las voces se levantan y dicen “este loco va solo”, y el otro contesta “van con muchos, pero son como coral arrastrado por corrientes de olas que no son suyas ni ustedes las producen”, “remedos de otros”, “copias de otros”, “marionetas manejadas por ventrílocuos y con hilitos que les dicen qué manos y pies mover”, “qué valor”, “qué excelsitud de pensamiento en lideres con cartas marcadas”.
Y mire que no pretendo hacer un pronunciamiento como la perla de la virgen aquí, perdonen ustedes, sino sólo hacer una apología de meditar nuestras posiciones en los medios, y sí sentirse bien cuando existen likes de personas reales, con intenciones reales, con nombres reales y que como dice mi mentora, amiga, y carácter de novela “vives en un mundo fuera de este mundo”, y uno contesta: “Lo sé, pero uno no es lo que quiere, sino lo que puede ser”. (Canción de José José)
Pero por favor, “Tuérzanle el Cuello al Cisne de Engańoso Plumaje”, no deje que los medios le determinen, lo definan en quien es usted y lo que quiere ser, no se deje, defienda su cultura, sus patrones familiares, sus formas personales de ser.

Who is the Walking Dead?
The Walking Dead is a TV horror drama developed by Fran Darabont. The original series came for a comic book series of the same name. It started in Oct 31, 2010, on the cable channel AMC in the USA and right now it is is in its fourth season.
It is simply the best in it own genre. The Walking Dead is original, has its own brand and perfectly differentiate from other genres in TV. There is no other TV drama that could capture 16.1 million viewers for its fourth season premiere to become the most watched drama series telecast in basic cable history.
What Does The Walking Dead do? The Walking Dead entertains people by presenting a TV show in which two kind of human beings are in constant battle and their skills, either in one side or the other, are really important to make the human race survive: The dead and alive. Who is going to win? On one hand, the vast majority of dead people whose purpose is to eat and transform humans into walking dead. On the other hand, the humans alive will need to use their thinking skills to survive the dead crowd with no loss. A battle between intelligence in alive people vs majority in dead people… who is going to win?
Why Does it matter? AMC’s passion is the entertainment business and this company realizes that being in the top is to create a TV show with wonderful settings and plots where the story gets our attention. This is the reason AMC initially invested 3.5 million per episode to add extras, special effects and filming outdoors which is more expressive than in a indoor studio.
The Walking Dead matters because is a unique TV story. It is interesting by selecting a theme never brought to the TV sets. It is also thrilling when the walking dead or the crowd move with all those special effects and amazing make up to get a human alive.
It matters because at the end, the only purpose of every creation and product is to get the attention of public to get our mission accomplished.

Remember: Comparison is the thief of joy. No matter how high you climb, it’s always easy to worry about who has climbed higher, or if you are climbing fast enough. I keep this quote on my writing desk and stare at it every day to remind myself never to compete against anyone except myself. There will always be someone better, and there will always be someone else who believes that I am better than they are. It doesn’t matter a whit—what matters is your heart and your drive. And nothing else.

🦢 ― &. FRIENDSHIPS . ( steps to develop friendships )
Good friendships can turn a decent story into a memorable one as, it not only does it make the reader care more about the story, it adds emotional weight to the story.
But there's one problem. Good relationships are difficult to write. You thought writing romance was difficult? Well, writing friendships is a whole new level of difficulty.
Romances normally rely on professions of love and staring into one's eyes for lengthy periods of time. But, how do you develop friendships?
1) Make Each Character Their Own Person.
If a character's only purpose in the story is to act as "the friend", then it's guaranteed that they will be a flat and uninteresting character. This will lead to a friendship that no reader will be invested in.
Unfortunately, a lot of stories are like this ― you have your main character, and then their 1-dimensional friend who might crack a joke every once in a while.
We have some good examples from movies like Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings. He isn't just "Frodo's friend" who tags along. He's a gardener and a cook. He has a fascination with elves, a crush on Rosie, and a bad habit of eavesdropping. He is loyal, brave, and can persevere even when there is seemingly no hope.
You see this is in Toy Story as well. Even though Woody and Buzz both have the same goal ― to escape Sid's house ― they both have different journeys. The story means different things to each of them .Woody learns to not be as selfish and Buzz struggles with accepting that he is just a toy.
2) Give Them Something In Common.
Once you have fleshed out your characters, you need a reason for them to be friends. What brought them together? What gives them the reason to hang out? You need to give them similarities.
This can be a number of different things, like:
Status
Hobbies
Struggles
History
Background
Interests
Enemy
Goals
Dreams
3) Give Them Meaningful Differences.
Once you've established their similarities, it's time to dig deeper and create their meaningful differences. Don't just make your characters different. Give them meaningful differences that can build off of each other.
With those differences, your characters can help support their strengths and build them up during their times of weakness. This can lead to a strong friendship.
Here are some great ways to give them differences:
1) Skills.
One of the friend can be smart in terms of intelligence while the other is good at using her hands and inventing stuff.
One might be good at coming up with plans, while the other might be good at improvising when the plan goes awry.
2) Conflict Resolution.
If there is a bully bothering them, one might want to go and blow up at the bully, while the other chooses to ignore it.
If they are having an argument, one friend would want to talk it out maturely, while the other just likes to play devil's advocate and throw more heat into the argument.
3) Personalities.
One is confident and sly while the other is shy and awkward.
A is cold and determined while B is relaxed and compassionate.
B is an easy-going pleasure seeker, and B is a serious planner.
4) Method of Action.
Both friends are trying to break into a house. One will look up videos on YouTube about how to pick a lock. The other friend will just break the window with a rock.
The two friends are trying to persuade someone to do something. One friend uses bribing techniques, and the other friend uses a more passive-aggressive approach.
5) Reaction.
One friend with freak out and the other friend will stay calm.
A will get discouraged and want to give up, and B will encourage them to keep going.
One person is terrified out of their mind, while the other tries to stay positive.
Querida amiga:
Cuántas cosas no han ocurrido desde la primera vez que nos vimos, que fomentaron en mi, el querer relatar una historia para honrar una presencia.
No sabía cómo empezarla, e hice lo que hizo Frida Kahlo, en el sentido de no hablar de otra cosa que no conocía, más que de aquello que sí conocía, y conocía perfectamente: su imagen, su rostro, sus tribulaciones, sus penas.
Todo, plasmado, en esos recuerdos innumerables de su rostro, y su persona, a travez de las variaciones y momentos de su vida que se ven representados en cada una de los obras de Frida Kahlo.
Y creo que no estuvo mal, porque no conocemos a los otros, pero sí nos conocemos a nosotros mismos sin tratar de presentar posiciones de grandeza, sino de sinceridad.
Entonces el arte, estaba en tratar de engarzar la presencia suya, en algún momento de mi camino, y la serie de sensaciones que provocó la presencia suya en ese viaje, y tratar de pintar los momentos con toda la gama de la escritura, para definirla en ese escrito.
Me di cuenta que tenía detalles, regalos, vivencias, presencias, comportamientos, diálogos, conversaciones, y quise con ellos, plasmarlos en un escrito, dentro de un glamour que el momento entre usted y yo propició.
Sin embargo, me dí cuenta, que tengo mejores recuerdos de usted en la presencia física, que fue real, que de los que ocurrieron después, y me dí cuenta que la escritura o las presencias en línea, no pueden suplantar lo real, al contrario, desvían de los caracteres y los hacen sumirse en disertaciones ajenas a lo real, siendo lo real, como una luz que cae e ilumina los caracteres.
Déjeme decirle que tengo una hija, y recuerdo que era niña y una vez ella muy enojada por un argumento que tuvimos. Y ya sabe cómo es esto de dejarse llevar por los triggers de imágenes, cuando eres desatendido emocionalmente. Así que fui al comedor y la abracé, e inmediatamente todo desapareció.
Probablemente usted conozca de ello, conociendo de su profesión.
Me dí cuenta que ya no es la cuestión de tener una verdad o una justicia, sino simplemente de estar, y eso tenía que ver con una presencia real, porque el contacto humano todo lo disipa, es simplemente estar.
Y con ello le quiero agradecer su estar, en un momento especial.
The world in business is based in trust because we depend in that character to make our company grow and go to the next level. In a conversation titled “First Why, then Trust” at TED.Com, Simon Sinek stated “the very survival of human race depends on our ability to surround ourselves with people who believe what we believe. When we are surrounded by these people who believe what we believe something remarkable happens: Trust emerges”.
Trusting in business is about giving the customer the conviction that his or her product will be delivered with high quality. The customer and the service provider will build up a relationship very special for both agents agree to the price, in one side of the equation, and the quality of the product, on the other side of that relationship.
That communication, that trust between both agents generates an exceptional atmosphere, and in words of Sinek “the reason trust is important is because when we are surrounded with people that believe what we believe, we are more confident to take risks, we are more confident to experiment, we are more confident to go out there and explore”.
In that sense, that confidence inspire us to make thing better says Simon Sinek and “When an organization is founded, what they do and why they do it becomes inextricably linked. There is a founder or some group of founders able to put their vision into words and their passion inspire others to come with others and pursue some things grater than all themselves”. As they work together and succeed, says the author, they cannot rely on themselves because they become a big corporation and the reason “Why” they do it becomes fuzzy “and right there is the split”.
When there is a split between the customer and the business, both of those agents loose something that they really want, they untie a connection and they set free a good relationship that was profitable. Sinek address the loss of Steve Jobs from Apple in 1994-1998 brought that the company sales went down, and started to climb when he returned to the company again. He had the vision and that connection between the customer and the company.
Nowadays, according to the author, you cannot trust through the Internet, the video, and the bloggers because they cannot replace the human interaction, human contact. “Our very survival depends on interact with the human being, a friend is not somebody you check the status on, the conversation does not happen on a blog, and you can not have a discussion on twitter because these are human expressions”.
Certainly that is why a deal is more profitable when the customer and the business owner shake their hand at the end of the deal because that means they trust each other. As Simon Sinek explained it finally “real conversation, what we need is more handshake discussion, more handshake friends, handshake leadership, and we will find our own sense of happiness and inspiration that requires being among people: believe, we believe”.
When we believe, finally I should say, a business is born and a good relationship with the customer is set as a foundation because we believe in both agents, and we trust each other. Nonetheless we will build a product that satisfies high expectations on customers because they trust on us, that we can do exactly as they wanted that particular product to look like, and feel like as Apple and Zappo did with their clients.
