Beyond Fear
So, you want to know what I'm affraid of. Fear is an interesting feeling. And it's about self-reliance. We tend to think that it has to do with what others may do to us, or what life will bring in front of us. But, it really is a matter of how we will react, if we are going to let external conditions to decide about our inner one, and of course, it is connected with our --false, in my opinion-- belief that our body is all we are...

Turn Every-day Life Into A Living Lab
My progenitor, Alcibiades (an important politician, orator, and general in ancient Greece), used to say that a great commander has to be able to predict. Nowadays, in business, leaders need to have that skill and also, to combine it with the ability to detect the unique points, the gifts, and the weaknesses of every person in their team.

People are usually confused about freedom. They think it's a situation in which you do whatever you want, to whomever you want, without boundaries or caring about the consequences. So, they (unintentionally) train their kids to be obedient, trapped in behavioral molds, and moved by stereotypes. They prefer it this way, instead of letting children remain free (as they come to this world). Because they forget, or they don't know the one thing that could teach them to "use" freedom well: Responsibility.

Frayfarers
Dear Eftychia, Yesterday, I was in the waiting room of a dentist, observing the way he chose to decorate it. He has a thing with the number "2". He likes creating pairs. Two identical small tables, each with the same vase on it and with the same chair beside. Each vase had the same flower in it. The bottom shelf of each table, had a stack of magazines perfectly aligned, with not a single angle to protrude.
