What nobody tells you about becoming an entrepreneur, until it's "too late"

If you are on this particular endeavour, you'll feel quite empathized about this subject. And that's because you're an adventurer of life, but also a true willpower warrior, even against your loved ones. E.g., I had to listen today "a work is when you get a salary"... Er... Yes, and no. People seem to discard us as workers when we decide to launch ourselves into this self employment state, for many reasons...:

Achieving a company success may seem impossible. But it's not.

The reason I decided to start this fight about achieving a company success in the e-commerce sphere... is not a simple answer I could just tell you in a few lines. In fact, some days I wonder what the hell I'm doing working up to 19 hours a day, with no revenues and no benefits (so far). However...

A.I. vs human mental block: Trying to avoid the brain death factor...

Yeah, you read me. 

I'm taking a little break on my week assignment about Algorithms. This time we're suppose to create a few data type structures, combining them in two classes, and rearranging it to automatically solve an NxN puzzle, from 3x3 to 128x128, in the minimum possible steps. It's like an artificial intelligence program with a single purpose, like most of them.

Here's an animation on what I'm building:

Catching up

It's 7:32 in the morning, and i have just finished my algorithms assignment from Princeton University (Online assignment). It took me days to figure it out what i was failing about.
Well, to be honest those days

"It is your turn"

Those were the last words of Walter Cunningham's (Apollo 7 astronaut) speech during the event I'm participating in: Starmus festival 2014, here in south Tenerife.

We've been listening to some of the greatest minds in the world: Stephen Hawking, Robert Wilson (Nobel), Richard Dawkins, Mark Boslough, Charlie Duke (Apollo 16 astronaut), Harold Kroto (Nobel), and many more. It's been inspiring to me to have the privilege to witness something this big.

The inner core

Everyone needs a goal, something to drive them straight to the top, keeping them from taking sideways.

I called it my inner core. It's not the same as the 'place' where i get my strength from, it's more the place i look on to when i raise my sight, plus the small list in my mind of things i need to get along the way. It's a post-it every part of your house, car, or places you go. A big reminder. DO THIS, DO THAT, and DON'T FORGET YOU NEED THOSE. Sort of...

Where does my strengh come from?

I'm taking a break from my algorithms class, from Princeton University. It's a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), that I'm doing right now, until October. At least the first part. I'll continue afterwards with part II, plus the other courses I'm doing this year. It's being VERY hard.

My timetable makes me get up early in the morning. I mean,

Starting to breath the code

I've been learning about programming languages since i was a teenager, even a little when i was a little boy. But that was just having fun, or schooling. I always had dreams of how would be a program made by me... But then happened life. That "thing" that occurs when you start making big plans, and then you fall, and you do it big and hard.

But this summer i took a decision,
