Usually, we finish a year with a whole list of new things to do in the next one. I will approach it differently. I will finish and begin with the purpose of doing more with the things that we have, to use them differently and to see in them what we were not able to see up to now.
Coming from a middle-class family in Argentina, at times struggling financially (like the country), but always moving forward; my Mother taught us the importance of recycling, reusing and administrate the resources that tend to be scarce.

I personally don’t agree with that, but I truly believe that we can maximize what we can do with what we already have, we can recycle.
We can put more pieces of this puzzle together and create different things. Neither better nor worse, different, in the deepest sense of the word.

They had the capability of administrating existing resources to maximize the results, making us feel different and strong things. This technique is called Rotoscoping and consists of making an animation using as base human images or previous animations.
My humble intention with this text is to bring near existing pieces of this puzzle called Life to continue learning, producing and improving. Because Wisdom is in the simplest things.
