You don’t need to be a genius to create things. You need to put some heart into things. Love them. Be focused as if you’re caring for the most precious gift. That is creativity. The ability to enjoy every single shadow of black, every glimpse of light, every smile, every word. No two things will […]

less might be more
We’re obsessed by having more, owning more. Our cars, the number of the shirts in the closet, our shoes, the food we buy and then we throw away. We accumulate products of any kind. Some of them will stay hidden in our homes for years befone getting thrown out (not even donated), others go into […]
the smallest part of the whole
If you’re learning a new, complex, skill, you’ll fail a lot. This is normal. But if you want to accomplish something and understand the behaviour and the mechanics behind your topic, you might want to reduce it to the small viable part that executes it. For example, say you want to learn how to tackle […]
give them a way out
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a nice way to exit a conversation? Or to have a safe option in case everything goes wrong? I guess we all love this opportunity. The chance to simply get out of a trip you weren’t supposed to embark upon. When we confront with people, we tend to […]

Small or big change? What are you after? If you’re after a big change, you should prepare yourself. Not only technically, but emotionally, because you’ll fail. A lot. Think about learning to negotiate. Do you think you’ll get it right away? No. If you feel like learning it, then it’s because you’re not good at […]

easy questions, hard answers and how to spot a wrong question
You might be fooled into thinking that easy questions are the way to go. Few days ago I wrote to an acquaintance a question about gender discrimination at work. I wrote moved by an impulse, so the question was very emotional yet easy to grasp. He replied to me, with a kindness unique to his […]
aren’t you tired of compliments?
What’s the use of partying, the use of writing the things you can do on facebook? Is it personal marketing or is it something different? Unless you’re trying to brand yourself or place a product the only thing you’re probably accomplishing is receiving some “Oh, great!” from your friends. A positive reinforcement nonetheless. But, what’s […]
follow the steps
It might happen. You’ve always had a job that tells you what to do, step by step. One day a colleague comes to you and ask you your opinion on a new thing. A thing you never did before, a thing no one gave you the instructions.A thing that you “made” before, but only as […]
