<strong><em>The people I like - La gente que me gusta (Excerpt) </em></strong>by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Benedetti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mario Benedetti</a> (1920 – 2009).
I like people whose antennae are attuned, who don't have to be pushed, who don't have to be told to do things, but who know what needs to be done and who do it. People who nurture their dreams until those dreams take over their reality. I like people with the capacity to assume the consequences of their actions, people who risk the certain for the uncertain in pursuit of a dream... I like people who are fair to the people around them and with themselves, people who are grateful for each new day, for the good things that exist in their lives...!

Me gusta la gente que vibra, que no hay que empujarla, que no hay que decirle que haga las cosas, sino que sabe lo que hay que hacer y que lo hace. La gente que cultiva sus sueños hasta que esos sueños se apoderan de su propia realidad. Me gusta la gente con capacidad para asumir las consecuencias de sus acciones, la gente que arriesga lo cierto por lo incierto para ir detrás de un sueño… Me gusta la gente que es justa con su gente y consigo misma, la gente que agradece el nuevo día, las cosas buenas que existen en su vida…!
