Does anything happen for a reason?
You know, something really bad happens. There is the crying, the disappointment, the despair even. We are so scared of these emotions, we hate having them so much so we resort to words of consolation like “everything happens for a reason”, “the universe prepares you for something else and better”, “watch out for the silver…

When is the CEO to blame?
I wonder some times about all these failed companies out there or even more so the unsuccessful but not yet failed companies out there. They do all the restructurings, the redundancies, the reorganisations, the desperate M&As. Lives are affected, economy is inevitably shrunk and those who are left behind in the troubled corporate obviously carry…

Trust is luck?
Why do we trust? Whom do we trust? Why it hurts so much to be betrayed? Is this just a random game of possibility? Could maths be the answer? Of course, there are the people who trust no one. Ever. This is safe but I guess lonely or even dysfunctional. There are those who put…

Has anyone thought that WFH is just sustainable?
I mean the obvious: commuting is polluting. This is too obvious. On top, we build our solis twice: different building to work, different to live. In fact we replicate all that tech and human modern living standards twice. Elevators, artificial lighting (because we all know it’s bad to have office space with natural lighting flooding…

Food, pleasure and evolution
I paid a visit to a dietician today. He also happens to have received full medical training. Obviously a combination of covid, WFH and age took their toll on my what-I-wish-to-remember-as-gorgeous (ha!) body, He bothered to explain that our lizard brains seek joy no matter what. Our lizard brain enjoys comfort food and sugary/ salty…

What we know. Who we know. Who we are and whom we let define us
Often in life we have to throw ourselves out there. We are in quest of people or positions or solutions. We introduce ourselves, we act, we say things. We fill ourselves with hope. We create expectations. We stumble. We fall. We get disappointed. We might find the courage and the resilience to start all over…

Bonds
Oxford Languages gives this definition of a bond: “a connection between two surfaces or objects that have been joined together, especially by means of an adhesive substance, heat, or pressure”. I think that human bonds surely comply with that definition: we bond because of an adhesive substance. Pressure in fact could be it, same as…

Titanic cost benefit failure?
I guess this post is a common ground for most of us. There is so much pain in the world. So many inexplicable, unfortunate and terrible ways people die or get hurt. The sea itself has swallowed so many people – marines, sailors, immigrants. And yet some people would pay anything for a thrill. Immigrants…

Shopping therapy
I admit I like shopping. A lot. And I totally get it why it’s called “therapy”. My personal experience is that I feel good indeed. I feel fresh, beautiful, rich (I guess this my brain denying the fact I am getting older, poorer and wilted instead). I then put on my new buy, look myself…
