Weakness is the cause of stress.
Choose strength.
Action is the antidote to stress.
Choose happiness.
Never settle for less than your best.
Choose greatness.
Nothing great is suddenly created.
Choose the road less traveled.
Do great work.
Don't stop until you are proud.

Bonus: Ecto in @elixirlang supports it via the :on_conflict repo option! ✨

"Con esas orejas vas a tener que estudiar mucho para poder casarte", fue el consejo realista que Kenzaburō recibió de su propia madre.
Después, la vida le depararía 4 o 5 momentos importantes.
Dejadme que os los cuente.
