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...
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. This was not the way things were supposed to turn out. This was not what you signed up for. Yet here you are. Soon to be 40, married with three kids. A regular job and a mortgaged house on the countryside. Trying to Eat well (whatever that is considering all the diets that...
What superpower would you chose if you could pick anyone? X-ray vision, supersensitive hearing, the ability to see the future? There are many to pick from and they are all cool. Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to see through walls? If you were looking for something, you could simply stand in one place and look around. Neat....
Vacations can be a double edged sword. On the one hand, it’s great to relax, take every day as it comes and just enjoy life. On the other hand, taking time off from all your regular habits in life might cause more disturbance than you think. There’s a risk you’ll end up feeling more stressed than relaxed on your vacation....
I can do this. At least, most of the time I believe I can. What you might wonder? Write. Have something worthwhile to say. I need to get into the habit of writing daily. Every day. During these last months, I’ve written a lot more than I ever did, so I am on the right track. However, I need to...
