We are all part of teams, right? We pair up, couple, up or team up. In love, at life, at work or just for fun or for a hobby. I often see teams succeed and more often, unfortunately but rather admittedly, I see teams fail. I have myself been part of teams, pairs, groups that…

The surprise
I was pondering what it is that holds us back from perfection. Why is the human nature so full of mistakes and why it seems dystopian to live in a world of robots. I then realized that if you go to a restaurant for instance where everything is prepared to perfection every time, how many…

The Bench
Kate Middleton or Princess of Wales rather is not well. That is a bad piece of news for her family. It is actually more than just bad for her husband and three young children. She is a young woman and is devastating to have to face what she is already or about to go through.…

Oscars night
Get the pop corn out! Grab your seats! It is the Oscars tonight! Americans obviously make a spectacular show out of it, as they are the masters to it. It is so good, so tempting, so shinny, so cool that people in different time zones across the globe contemplate watching it in the middle of…

Woman’s day
Having a day to celebrate women is a failure in itself. Being a woman is not an issue. To some is arguably a choice but to most is not. It’s simply who they are. Born a woman. There is nothing to celebrate, nothing to worry about. There is no issue to be resolved. There is…

Quite a few people I have recently talked to admit they have tweaked their CV using ChatGPT and the like. Cool. I don’t find anything here. There used to be…

the metronome
Any music student knows this: the metronome. It’s not fun necessarily but there is something funny about it. You need to go slower to go faster. You need to tune in to the speed your music level is at. When we don’t rush, when we tune in, suddenly the metronome even though on the same…

Easy recipe for happiness
I often ponder on life and happiness and the meaning of it all and how to become happy. What I should do. Other than writing a blog about it and inviting people to help me make sense of it all, that is. During this journey, I stumble often on that sad realisation that my main…

Unstainably sustainable
Sustainable fashion is such a great idea, right? Why then don’t we all adopt it and it takes such an effort to penetrate our minds and wardrobes? Sustainable fashion has trapped itself into a vicious cycle: re-cycle or up-cycle. To be eco conscious you need to be cheap. Dirty. Thrift. But wait a minute. We…
