175 Ideas to Achieve Your Goals
ÁLVARO MERINO
On September 5, 2011, the blog Pulgada a Pulgada (Inch by Inch) was launched, created with the intention of offering students a space for consistent intellectual exercise. Five years later, that disciplined and consistent work transformed into a book: 175 Ideas to Achieve Your Goals.
Beyond its title, which has a marketing flair, and a cover that reflects the sporting essence present throughout the content, the book promotes questioning and reflection. One of the fundamental skills it seeks to foster is critical thinking: not accepting ideas simply because they are presented, but questioning them before adopting them.
Organized into chapters that address topics such as leadership, talent, teamwork, emotions, self-improvement, and personal development, the book examines each concept from different perspectives, encouraging the reader to reflect on and reconsider their own ideas. The result of discipline, study, and daily reflection, the work captures the essence of sport and proposes a consistent practice of critical thinking. Conceived as continuous training, this book invites progressive improvement through writing and reflective practice, thus reinforcing the idea that excellence is achieved step by step.
