Those words came upon me like a bolt of lightning. It happened recently, last Sunday evening, as I was spending time with a few friends, discussing this and that.
And no, my blog isn’t about sexual issues – just in case you were wondering. Do you want it to be about sexual stuff? Just kidding. Seriously, do you? Kidding again. Let’s move on. 🙂 Continue reading
A few days ago, in a beautiful and sunny Sunday afternoon, I was in my car with my girlfriend and her sister, heading to a big park to rent bicycles, whilst taking a nice drive at the same time.
The traffic was light, as it is every Sunday, with the exception of a queue at a big intersection. We were moving slow, bumper to bumper, 5 meters at a time, when suddenly I noticed Continue reading
Today I decided to plant a tree on the side of the street I live on, although I know it’s illegal.
Actually, it’s not a street, it’s a busy boulevard that connects with one of the main highways out of the city.
I started doing this planting stuff 3 years ago, after seeing Continue reading
Last evening I spoke at an event, in front of almost 100 people.
The topic, set by the organizers (5MS.ro) was “The break”, and I chose to incorporate it into a story about my life, and share with the wonderful people there how I found my true path in life.
On my way to the event I was pretty nervous, and I was struggling with fear of speaking in front of all these people. The difference is, whereas on different occasions in my past I chose to let that fear control me and give up whatever I was doing, this time I chose to act, in spite of it.
I knew that deep down inside I wanted to be on that stage, and that desire was stronger than the fear. Little did I know that life would reward me in the most surprising way for this decision. Continue reading
A few days ago I attended a networking event. One of the reasons why I go to these events is to overcome my fear of talking to strangers.
By going to more and more events I gradually started to feel okay and the feeling of resistance to going and meeting someone new, in time started fading.
But I still have some apprehension about it, and that translates in a need to take a break and leave the group once in a while, and then come back for some more punishment.
The event itself was nice, almost 100 people have been there. But the nicest thing happened after the event. It’s a true, inspirational, real-life story. Continue reading
You may wonder: how can an illness be good?
And you may be curious to find out. Let me see if I can shed some light on your question.
The vast majority of us suffer from an illness of some sort. Be it something like allergies, obesity, constipation to more serious conditions, like diabetes, cancer or AIDS.
I have a vast history with illness, 20 years of suffering from a chronic gastro-intestinal disorder.
All those years of having it I kept wondering: “What is the cause of it?”
In my case, Continue reading
Being a small coffee shop owner and waiting for your customers to walk in.
Being a newsstand employee, waiting for somebody to buy a paper or a magazine from you.
Being an office employee, waiting for your boss to give you something to work on for the day.
Waiting. Just waiting.
Meanwhile, life passes you by. Amazing opportunities fly by.
All that’s left for you is wait. For the next customer, for the next task. Until you retire.
You wonder then: What happened with my life? Was it worth spending it waiting? For what? Money? Security? Certainty?
And you regret. You regret all that lost time.
But there’s something you can do to prevent that. There’s something you can do NOW.
Do something today that you’ve never done before, or that scares you.
It’s so simple…..
Forget waiting, and just LIVE!
The society today suffers from anxiety. Most of us do.
We are stressed, we are afraid. Afraid of many things. Of tomorrow, of other people, of responsibilities.
Afraid to get sick, afraid to drive, afraid to go outside, afraid of the future, afraid to get robbed, afraid to speak freely, afraid that you’re trapped, afraid of being alone, afraid for your children, afraid of risk, afraid to die. Afraid of being afraid.
In the last few years Continue reading
What is the difference between the age of the body and the age of the soul? Huge! You could be 80, but feel like 25.
It really doesn’t matter the age of your body, as long as you feel young inside. Feel young, it’s an awesome feeling!

Most of the people I know only went to school for three reasons.
First: because everybody does it and they don’t want to be at a disadvantage, second: it seems to be the normal thing to do, and third: because their future or present employer demands it.
It may be one more reason, and that is parents pushing them to do it, but that does not always apply.
Most of the great minds in our world’s history didn’t change the world because they went to school, but because Continue reading
