I have illustrated this with a surreal piece of imagery as I am of the opinion that when we don’t see the solution it is because it pertains to another realm.

 

Engleza de joi / Daring

Daring = brave; willing to do dangerous or unusual things; involving danger or taking risks.

What is the most daring sentence in your CV?
Me: You can be whomever you want to be solely with the help of my words.
What is the most traditional?
Me: I am a teacher.

I am packaging my questions from the job interview course with a most daring piece of art, the illustration of the most daring concept of the century – The Black Swan – the Impact of the Highly Improbable ( by Nassim Nicholas Taleb).

Mr Henri Rousseau’s art epitomizes the simplicity of beauty we long for.

Castle of Stress

Stress is the disease of the century. The root of all evils.
Battling stress is likely to become the achievement of the future.

My personal encounter with stress happened last year. Only last year, as my overhappy nature had prevented other (close) encounters. I realized I was stressed when I wasn’t smiling like a Cheshire cat as often as usual. Then it grew deeper, I developed stomach pangs or the first step towards gastritis. Everything was a blur, I felt worn out. Nevertheless I couldn’t sleep. And which was worse, I couldn’t think.

In my job and business I need fresh good ideas everyday, not to mention the “fitting of the giraffe in the fridge“. So I decided to stop. I counted the activities that made me happy and I realized I hadn’t been exercising in a while.

Now I admit I overdo it, I exert myself too much as it is my source of well-being…

As an entrepreneur the sources of stress line your path. The idea is to try and solve issues and situations in the best way possible, always smiling and always kind. If you can’t, move on and find better ways of helping others and yourself.

I help myself by writing – juggling words – reading – cycling – planking – drinking tea. My help towards you is yet to be seen as I will always find a way. As I have said before: “If I am happy, I am to make you happy.”

Consequently, this piece of art makes me happy. I do hope it creates a mutual feeling.

Engleza de joi/ Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing = the act of giving tasks to a large group of people or to the general public, for example, by asking for help on the internet, rather than having tasks done within a company by employees.

Crowdsourcing means that work once done in-house, from design and research to customer support, can now be farmed out, cutting costs and tapping new expertise.

 

I bid you to partake into all the loveliness that a shiny day of May can offer!

Love Labyrinth

Labyrinth is called
The love
outstretching and unending
like the gusts
of fadeless despair…
Against the mild dews
in pure mornings.

Tomorrows spread
and dawn always
Whilst the scent of your
Love is immortal.

Love is not love
if created in a feeling
of today.

Every day is a chance to create feelings.
