Judging The Book By the Cover?

People Can Be Harsh, Can’t They? — Young people can be really nasty, I remember thinking about my peers at school as if we were thrown into the middle of a jungle and it was all about the survival of the stronger ones! Even when we do not mean to be, even if you are a very…

Tell Me About Your Worst Day Ever

Imagine getting a call from your kid’s school and finding out he has been hurt. Awful. Imagine he never tells how it happened and, eventually child services take him away… Does it get worse than that? But that is not even what this is about. We will come back here later on. Intense workday (as usual). You work for someone else but you are also self-employed…

Livin Life In The Fast Lane

These days keep going by on an overwhelming rhythm — How can it be managed? — Take a moment. Inhale. Exhale. Just breathe. Is it easier said than done? Sure! But people are here — on Earth — for ages. Things have not been like this since ever. What did people have then that they don’t have now? Silence. Privacy. People could not be reached all the time. Our days…

Coffee, please!

Inside the coffee shop I saw somenone asking: — I’d like two coffees, please. The servant was going to extract one coffee and then make the second one. The client asked her to extract them both simultaneously in the machine, so that one does not have to wait until the…

Project Management — How Busy Is Your Life?

How Many Projects Do you Juggle Every Day? — We are always running somewhere. You have your day job, your family, your friends, your hobbies… I often wonder about the way things were done back in the day: people did not have much but used to be together, everyone knew each other, neighbors did meet and help each other. Today people don’t care much…

Time Flies…

Time Does Fly When You Are Having Fun — Is there anything better than being with your loved one? That bubble, feeling you are at home even if it is chilly out there and you are outside, in the cold, raining, soaking wet, leaning against a porch trying to find shelter until the rain slows down but you are…

Is Life a Happy Place?

It depends on the angle… — Woking up early in the morning to find out it is still dark outside, what a drag! Or isn’t it? Scenery 1: You wake up late, grab some pieces of clothing, and put them on while you rush to the door, running to get to work on time. You stumble everywhere, lose your…

Funny Things You Witness Around…

Privacy is a huge deal — Privacy is a huge deal, as it should be. One has extra care not to leak any data, anywhere. The world is under siege, hackers proliferate and hijack entire companies, breaching security, leaving chaos behind them… These days I went to the bank. I was there, waiting in line, and…

Live Each Day Completely

Living is awesome! We have the present to ourselves. It is here, it is now! There is no point in planning for the future if you don’t value the present. Today is all you have! Tomorrow is yet to come and yesterday went by already, so… Live now! It is very important to…
