With gratitude I will say goodbye to the internet as a tool for suppression and distraction. With gratitude? What is good about suppression? There can be situations in life which can be hard to bear from day to day. A few years back I was facing homelessness. A complicated wrist fracture which did not heal …
I Always Wanted to Be the Boss
Taking a deep breath to write this article. A little voice nagging inside me: "You can't tell this! People might think that you are megalomaniac!" Okay, so think that I'm megalomaniac but we can also take a look at the facts. When I was at school my class mates always wanted me to be their …
Mediocrity in Leadership Positions
Yesterday wasn't my day. What is happening to me at the workplace is happening to many, many more people. My colleague is fed up to his nose and will soon leave, like the guy who was on his position before. This guy simply left without notice. I will not go into details about them or …
Music – The Tune and the Lyrics
I always loved, loved, loved music, but not for the lyrics, I often even don't know them. In a way they are not relevant. Music in my life is for mood, beat me up, rock me or mellow and calm me. Melody, dynamic and rhythm are "the thing". It goes so far that a song …
The Forrest and the Trees

Thinking and Thoughts
There is something else what I find interesting, it may sound a bit crazy. I call it the different ways of thinking or different categories of thoughts. The chatterbox: If I don't force my mind to be silent then it is busy around the clock but - believe it or not - if you ask …
The Hole – Another Interesting Dream
There was another dream which surprised me. I was walking up a hill. On the top was a big hole, too deep to see the bottom of it. I stepped into the hole, saw me falling but was thinking "I will be okay". A leap of faith? The beginning of finding self-confidence by giving my …
In Denial of Being a Type 6
Me fearful? Never! I hate fear and did many risky things especially when I was younger. Those actions only gave me the illusion that fear wasn't my problem. And ... how could somebody who is not afraid to speak up for other people be fearful? Since August of this year, I'm changing. Does not mean …
