Too often in life, we give up too easily. When things don’t go our way and resistance is felt, we simply drop what we’re doing and move on to something else. Telling ourselves that “I can’t do this, it’s not for me.” But resistance is part of the process when you are learning new things. If you always take the […]
What makes us human? Is it our ability to plan and think ahead? Is it our ability to show compassion? Or is it knowing that we are mortal? What separates us from the other animals? Why have we achieved such greatness? The Homo sapiens species is around 200,000 years old. In the beginning, we were only yet another species living […]
Do you have way too many things in your kitchen cupboards? Are you only using the front row of things and the back of the cupboard is like the never ending universe with stacks of things that you can’t remember the last time you used? Is your closet full of clothes that you don’t really use? There are piles of […]
I don’t think we would have ever become friends if it wasn’t for the newbie mothers’ group. I recently had my first child and for women having their first child, there is a group at the local health clinic that you can join to talk about baby stuff and get some advice and helpful tips. All supervised by a nurse […]
The school system of today is still largely based on the premise that we have to educate people to become blue-collar workers. This was needed during the industrial revolution and therefore school became mandatory. Now, society has changed. We no longer need that many workers. Estimates are that a third of all jobs will be replaced by automated systems. The […]
Wouldn’t you like to be rich? Filthy rich. With enough money to just go to the car dealer and buy a Tesla, cash. Or buy a nice apartment in the city centre of some major city? Or go on a year-long vacation around the world? First class of course. Or even better, in your own jet. Money can buy you […]
It’s difficult to write from the heart. To say what I really think and feel. Even when writing just for me, I find myself editing. Putting restraints on myself. Making it sound just a little bit better than it actually is. Why do I do that? Who am I trying to persuade? It’s like that nonsense question ”How are you?” […]
A human life span is roughly 80 years. This sets the horizone for how far into the future we are able to see. Anything beyond that horizon becomes hard to grasp. Untangible. Slipping through your fingers. This inability of ours causes us to paint ourselves into corners all the time. Remember the Y2K bug? Our inability to see that we […]
There are days when everything is overwhelming. There are days when I feel what’s the point of it all? What’s the point in me trying to write? What’s the point with coming up with 10 ideas per day? What’s the point in dragging myself out of bed at 5 am every morning when I could be sleeping until 6.30? So […]
Have you ever wondered how it is to be a 40 year old bachelor living in New York? Or how to survive if you get stranded on Mars? Or how it would feel to dive on a German u-boat wreck in the Atlantic ocean? With life comes experience and knowledge. But we live only one life. There’s a limit to […]
