“Most motivational speakers typically use anecdotes rather than statistics to prove their point. They don’t speak about the thousands of failures of millions of hapless men and women but always tell the story of one successful person to prove their point. They make great promises akin to a good salesman out to sell his wares. Many people follow their advice and unfortunately discover that they still are not able to achieve the promised success.”

“Alguna vez me he preguntado por qué esta gran profesión, desde siempre, ha sido llevada y desempeñada por mujeres. Y creo que tengo la respuesta: porque hace falta ser muy fuerte y muy generoso. Fuerte para soportar la carga de trabajo, pero sobre todo para convivir año tras año con la muerte, con el drama, con la cara menos amable de la vida y no derrumbarse. Y generoso para ser capaz de dejar de lado a tu propia familia para ir a cuidar de gente que no conoces de nada, pero que sabes que necesitan a una enfermera a su lado. Una enfermera llena de marcas por dentro y por fuera, sí, pero ¿quién no las tiene?”
