Pablo Rodríguez

The shortest path is the one you don't abandon.

“Writing is often the process by which you realize you do not understand what you are talking about.”

“You come to understand that most people are neither for you nor against you, they are thinking about themselves. You learn that no matter how hard you try to please, some people in this world are not going to love you, a lesson that is at first troubling and then really quite relaxing.”

Curiosity is a better compass than cynicism—it shifts from defending your territory to exploring what's possible

Talent and potential mean nothing if you can't consistently do the boring things when you don't feel like doing them.

Your heroes are your blueprints.

Study what makes them exceptional, not to become them but to become who you're capable of being. The point isn't to be a second-rate version of your hero, it's to be a first-rate version of yourself with upgraded tools.

Learn their system. Keep your soul.
