The real Janov Pelorat



This is a really inspiring presentation: "Devdutt Pattanaik: East vs west" (Link here)
He remmembers me Janov Pelorat (You have to be an Asimov fan to understand...)
I am dealing with asian people now in a business operation and forget very often that we may be looking to the same problem in very different ways...
I feel sometimes frustated with their reactions and requests. But I suspect, this is mainly my fault... I am for sure not making the right propositions.

I would love to have a similar presentation comparing occidental values with Buddist ones...

mauerfall. Berlin 2009. Grenzen sind unser aller Gegner.


Noelia and me had today the priviledge to be in Berlin during the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the Wall fall.
Of course it is very difficult for us to grasp 100% the meaning of such an event for german people. I was 5 years old as democracy came to Spain and Noelia was borned in democracy.
We have read, seen and heard about that time. Whenever I have the chance, I try to ask my german friends and collegues how was living on that time.
But today, during the celebrations, I think the person that better resumen the real meaning of this celebration was European President Barroso: "For the young people that was not borned when the wall fall, you must realized that there was a time were you could not travel freely through Europe. Today you can study, work, travel and move all along Europe. Please make sure you make use of this huge privilege."
So, from deep in my heart, thanks to all the people that made possible for Noelia and me to be here today living in Germany. Living as european citizens. Living in freedom. Thanks for the huge privilege.

Feed Back

Today a friend told me that had discovered this blog and found interesting.
Of course is flattering, but this not the reason to ask you for more interactivity.
Leave comments, send me links to your blogs if you have, start one if you don´t...
Writing the blog is like a therapy somehow.
You write something that knows is going to be read (eventually) for somebody else, and this induces you in a very different mindset when organizing your ideas.
Just give it a try, collaborate more, send your feedback, start discussions, ...
