About Me

I'm a 25 year-old Law student and I'm passionate about my country and its people.
Even though Mexico is seen from abroad as a sometimes troubled but promising nation, us Mexicans are unable to see our nation's capacities and potential. That's our biggest problem: to realize we have the strenght, creativity and resources needed to build a better society. Then, we should stop thinking about it and start doing it.

    A comment on Talk: Rives: The 4 a.m. mystery

    Oct 25 2011: I did found this older reference to 4.00 AM (before Giacometti in 1932): Napoleon in his study, by Jacques-Louis David, shows Napoleon working at 4.13 (more less).
