— Dr. Carlos Gershenson
Estimado Profesor:
Él debe aprender que no todos los hombres son justos ni veraces, pero enséñele que por cada villano hay un héroe y que por cada egoísta hay un líder dedicado y comprometido.
También enséñele que por cada enemigo existe un amigo y que más vale una moneda ganada honradamente que una moneda robada.
Enséñele a perder y también a disfrutar correctamente de las victorias. Aléjelo de la envidia y que conozca la alegría que reside en la silenciosa sonrisa.
Propicie en él la lectura de buenos libros, sin que deje de soñar y contemplar el cielo, los pájaros, las flores del campo y las maravillosas vistas de valles, lagos y montañas.
Enséñele a jugar sin violencia con sus amigos. Explíquele que vale más una derrota honrosa que una victoria vergonzosa. Que crea en si mismo y sus capacidades aunque quede solo y tenga que lidiar contra el mundo entero.
Enséñele a ser gentil con los buenos y duro con los perversos. Instrúyalo a que no haga las cosas porque simplemente otros las hacen, que sea amante de los valores.
Que aprenda a escuchar a todos, pero que a la hora de la verdad, decida por si mismo. Enséñele a sonreír y cuando esté triste explíquele que a veces los hombres también lloran.
Enséñele a ignorar los gritos de las multitudes que sólo reclaman derechos sin pagar el costo de sus obligaciones, enséñele a luchar por lo que crea justo.
Trátelo bien pero no lo mime ni lo adule, déjelo que se haga fuerte solo. Incúlquele valor y coraje pero también paciencia, constancia y sobriedad.
Transmítale una fe firme y sólida en el Creador del Universo. Sólo si tiene fe en si mismo, tendrá fe también en los hombres.
Entiendo que le estoy pidiendo mucho pero haga todo aquello que pueda.
"— Abraham Lincon
Message to a graduate – the inimitable Grant Snyder brings his brand of comic irreverence to the seasonal standby of commencement addresses and their cliches.
But not all graduation speeches are created equal: Here are some of history’s most timelessly uplifting and thought-provoking speakers: Greil Marcus, Ann Patchett, Jacqueline Novogratz, Neil Gaiman, David Foster Wallace, Ellen DeGeneres, Aaron Sorkin, Barack Obama, Ray Bradbury, J.

My eye caught a dark form lying on the river bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. x

![When you plot the position of Mars in the sky, you’ll notice that in general it moves from West to East. But when we are closest to Mars, it seems to go backwards for a bit before continuing. This is called retrograde motion, and this challenged early models of the Solar system which had Earth at the centre. The animation shows why Mars appears to go backwards for a bit.

All you want to know about Cheetahs:
im-sherlocked-in-my-mindpalace:
socially-awkward-supervillian:
Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack pray that runs
jesus that is good to know.
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetah’s are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetah’s are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Other’s will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll loose their cubs.
So zoo’s with breeding program’s had to figure out how to make Cheetah’s comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do?
They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!Thats fucking adorable as hell
THIS IS HOW I GET KILLED TUMBLR, BY YOU TELLING ME HOW DOCILE AND SWEET CHEETAHS ARE AND NOW I’M GONNA BE THE ONE WHO SOMEHOW MEETS THE HARD-ASS AMONG THEM WHO JUST FUCKS MY SHIT UP GODDAMN IT also omg cuties
