Dreaming

Would it not be nice if sometimes life brought you goodies. If in the background miracles happen like a movie or a book, but one of those would sometimes be nice to happen in real life, 
As tou get tired of rowing a boat empty handed and against currents, when not currents, winds, when not winds rain, you can't help but wondering if this is but a bad dream and you get ready to wake up any time. As I have convinced myself there are no Prince Frogs and expectations are key for you to be miserable, I have not had much day dreaming recently. But the same way when there are too many good things and any thing can turn the tide, you hope it is the opposite as well I guess.

Flying Sunday

It's been a while, I know. But time is really a precious asset and I have not been leveraging on it well enough... But today I did and I am proud.

I guess throughout the way we were some quiet passengers, in the wonders of realizing you are on air, the curiosity of identifying different places and the struggle to take the best pictures as we pass the Harvard...

We had to ask a couple of former colleagues, friends and family to give us three examples of when we were at our best. The point is not to skyrocket your ego, don’t worry. It is about understanding what are the environments that make your strengths come out. Because if you know what they are, then you will look to pursue a future that exhibits these characteristics. A “what brings the good in you” kind of thing. It was interesting to get that feedback. More than interesting, it was insightful. It was amazingly consistent throughout and it was curious to see the examples that people remember about you. I do recommend to anyone in need to find a bit more of where they should go. The thing about the examples is that they do have something in common, whether they came from people I worked with recently o...
