Opis

One day I decided to write a book, after all, Jose Marti once said: "There are three things every person should do before they die: Plant a Tree, Write a Book and Have a Son." I have already planted a tree and with this book I complete two out of three. Maybe one day I'll go for the third one too. In this book I talk about 50 situations in my life that weren't successes exactly. All of these experiences were painful, humiliating or just weird (Fifty Tales of Shame). Some of the stories I tell in this book have never been told. Some, because it didn't came the right time to tell them, and others, because I thought it was better to keep them as secret (until now). I have a particular way of accepting life lemons; people usually laugh with my stories, even when I'm serious. I like to think they are laughing with me (and not of me). I also make fun of myself and try to learn something about every situation. Usually, I learn more from bad experiences than from good ones, although there are some that are just weird and it's hard to learn from them. Still, I tried to write a lesson I learned from each of the 50 stories I tell in this book."
