“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”
Cloud computing isn’t just a technological shift; it’s a transformation that redefines our understanding of privacy, security, and ownership in the digital era.
Watching people study isn’t just about observing focus; it’s witnessing quiet determination, growth, and the resilience to push forward. It’s inspiring to see dreams unfold, one chapter at a time, through the power of learning.
Some pains strike like iron on the forge—raw, searing, and impossible to ignore. They do not visit the indifferent, but the deeply alive: those whose hearts are open enough to love, and therefore to lose. Macedonio Fernández suggested that only those who endure the "pains of blacksmithing" are also capable of true pleasure; by contrast, those who feel only toyshop pains live in a world of toyshop joys—soft, shallow, and untested by life.
This sensitivity—the very one that allows us to be moved by music, by poetry, by the face of a child—also leaves us defenseless before grief and injustice. But it is precisely that vulnerability that makes justice matter. Law, when it forgets this human depth, becomes a cold mechanism. But when it listens to the pulse of real suffering, it becomes something else: a response. A way of holding dignity in place.
True law, like true love, requires sensitivity. Not weakness—but the strength to feel, to protect, and to repair what has been broken.

Original quote (translated):
“Those who feel the pains of blacksmithing, the strong ones, are the same who are capable of pleasure. On the contrary, those who only suffer toylike pains also have toylike pleasures.”
