People Don't Stop Things They Enjoy Because They Reach A Certain Age

People don't stop things they enjoy because they reach a certain age

“People think of education as something that they can finish. And what’s more, when they finish, it’s a rite of passage. You’re finished with school. You’re no more a child, and therefore anything that reminds you of school - reading books, having ideas, asking questions - that’s kid’s stuff. Now you’re an adult, you don’t do that sort of thing any more. […] You have everybody looking forward to no longer learning, and you make them ashamed afterward of going back to learning. If you have [a system of education using computers], then anyone, any age, can learn by himself, can continue to be interested. If you enjoy learning, there’s no reason why you should stop at a given age. People don’t stop things they enjoy doing just because they reach a certain age.”

— Isaac Asimov  (via 01030104)

The Fifth Season - N. K. Jemisin (spanish Edition)

The fifth season - N. K. Jemisin (spanish edition)

Finish it! And it was incredibly good. Can't wait to begin the second book in the series!

I'm a huge fan of science-fiction and I used to really enjoy fantasy as well, and specially the one with maps at the beginning and new and different worlds, Tolkien style.

But I have kept away from them because it got boring to me. I began to feel like it was always the same: medieval Europe with male white protagonists and dragons or magic.

This book is different. It takes the same base and it innovates. And at the same time gives voice to all the characters that usually don't even have name.

I could talk for hours about it, but I'm terrible at putting words together coherently, so: Really-really good book.

Appearing Like Trenches Dragged Into The Earth, Sunken Lanes, Also Called Hollow-ways Or Holloways, Are

Appearing like trenches dragged into the earth, sunken lanes, also called hollow-ways or holloways, are centuries-old thoroughfares worn down by the traffic of time. They’re one of the few examples of human-made infrastructure still serving its original purpose, although many who walk through holloways don’t realize they’re retracing ancient steps.

What do we say when we are in a Summer School and we are living hard the impostor syndrome life?

We say: I'm gonna take these much-smarter-than-me people and asked them a fuckton of questions. And I won't stop asking until I have absorbed all their knowledge and they've forgotten their own name.
