Exploring and trying to learn something is a topic high on my agenda. So, a couple of months ago I decided to learn playing Poker. Texas Holdem. I like playing in general and I learned playing cards from my parents – other games though, but it is a part of…
Getting into politics
Looking across the world the established parties in many many countries are having trouble to get something done and execute their promises from the elections. Consequence is, that change isn’t progressing and the satisfaction levels of the population are not very good. Examples are manifold…UK struggling to get anything decided…

The power of moving forward & going slow
