In My Not-So-Humble Opinion

Our lives are all just a bunch of beginnings and endings.We are born,we live, we evolve, we grow, we eat, sleep, shit, we do everything and then we die.And that very same day thousands of others are born and they live,eat,sleep and they die as well, and for each one of them thousands of others are born and so on and so forth.... Everything that exists must come to an end, each atom, each corner of our galaxy, each piece of physical matter or abstract thought ends at some point after it begins. Some endings are happy, most of them are sad. Some are as easy as "see you tomorrow" others are as hard and smelly as the heavy silence of guilt.There are endings that people do not notice as they have no value, like the ending of a low budget movie, or the bottom of an empty beer as, fuck it, you will get another one.And then there are endings that people do not understand how destructive they are until they actually happen.It is mostly because people do not want to ...

It's the usual thing, you know? You are about to do something and you kill yourself by thinking it over before you do it, but when you need to quit you're out of that door as soon as you see trouble. Yep,you guessed it right, we have more thinkers then doers, and most of all we have quitters. Never quit just to solve the issue.Quitting is the last resort, so think hard before you run from your problems. Think hard are you really that person that is about to leave his life just to solve an issue, or are you born to resist and fight back.Very often the people will get the best of you, and you will feel as if you are surrounded by enemies. Well you know what they say, once it's happenstance, twice coincidence, three times it's enemy action, so you might even be right.And so what if you are? That does not change the facts that by running away from problems you will not solve a thing. All of you have probably heard of Maria Kiri, which in one occasion said: Life is no...

During an event I attended recently, I spoke to a student with great ambitions, and a company of his own.Really liked the kid,just thought he lacks experience to lead a proper business.When I told him what I think the holes are in his products,well, he kinda became pale and left me to go look for a chair to sit in.Soon after, he left the event. I'm not sure if I did him a favor or killed his dreams, but one way or the other it sure was an experience for him :).Hopefully he learned something from our conversation cause if he did not,he will have to learn from his own mistakes. My point in this text is that I think that there are things kids should be taught in high school (or not later than college) as a lot of stuff around us today promise us a future world where talk is not cheap and money is easy to get. A fast buck for nothing. That will NOT happen. To all high school kids, college students, and everyone that finds any single one from the following 11 ...

All things in this life are relative.All things are limited in time and space, and all that we own or we hope to own is either going to vanish, or we're going to lose it, displace it, forget that we ever had it or wanted it so,so badly.This somehow diminishes the very value of things doesn't it? Somehow, all those shiny little trinkets in life, all those glamorous lives we are constantly poisoned with on TV, all of our carnal desires and political horn-bumpings, it is all going to pass, and if you would strip a man of all of those layers of material and information and dirt, what would you have? What would that tiny little man be left with at the end? His dignity and his humanity.Yes,dignity and humanity. Always remember one thing, we are all human after all, and if someone would take everything from you, they can never take away your dignity. And how true is this? Very true. You see, funny thing how something as feminine and as simple as a red lipstick comes into this...

I said it many times before, talent is like Iron ore or raw steel. By its natural definition, Iron is a pile of minerals and rocks, and it may be tough, it may be rare, it may even be beautiful, but still, it is just a simple rock. Iron needs shaping, good steel is made by heating the Iron up to the point of melting, and then cooling it with cold water. And even then, as that is not enough, physical pressure is added to reinforce its characteristics.Final touch is given by masters that work their magic, by giving the final shape to the steel and turning the initial Iron rock into e.g. a beautiful, yet deadly Japanese katana. So, you see, it takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, and master's hands to start with the Iron rock and finish with the sharpest sword there ever was. Talent is no different. Raw talent is nothing (and never was anything) without firm discipline, hard work, and if not by master's guidance, than, by all means, it has to be led by either rich imagin...

Sadly enough, we live in a world where true friendship is hard to find. Whoever understands this, will keep their true friends (whoever has them), given that he/she has character enough to keep and respect that friendship more then his/hers own interests and satisfactions. Since I mentioned it, respect itself, is another animal we do not see often these days. And if we do see it, we act as if we saw Bigfoot..... and true friends that respect each other should not be Bigfoots they should be alley cats, everyday creatures that you see on the street, in the park, and that you expect to be there as they should. Really what the fuck is going on around us? I mean, since when is being honest a handicap? Since when is being good to someone (friend or anyone for that matter) rewarded with bullshit? Where did humanity make a wrong turn? Rather often I hear things like "being a good person today is similar to being dumb". True story. I even said it once or twice myself, when I ...

.... everybody's fine. Everybody's fine. Not so long ago I was a part of a bigger group of people, a group with who I shared many things.Some of them liked me, some of them hated me.Some of them couldn't stand the sight of me, some of them couldn't stand the idea that they would not see me on daily basis.Things happened, things were happening, things that I do not really want to remember, but I can't do much about it (having this elephant memory of mine). Lines were crossed, that should not be crossed, and I tend to keep those lines as they are. Those lines were and still are one of my life's principles, things that feel and have always felt right to me. Things that make me who I am. Crossing those lines one too many times was an action to witch I reacted, and I left that group of people. The departure was not pretty. It was messy just as all relationship endings are.If it's not messy than probably there was no real relationship there.It left a bad tast...
