Inspirational reading for today
"I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try."

If I was in Zurich tomorrow and had the afternoon off...
I'd first go visit the lifefair.2009, the exposition for sustainability, where restaurants, magazines, environmental protection organisations, the airport (?), networks, tourist offices, tofu producers, university institutes and the administration and many more are presenting their products and services or maybe their efforts in the area of sustainability.Wednesday, September 02, 2009

(...) A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are, that is snobbery. And the dominant kind of snobbery that exists nowadays is job snobbery. You encounter it within minutes at a party when you get that famous, iconic question of the early 21th century, "What do you do?". And according to how you answer that question, people are either incredibly delighted to see you or look at their watch and make their excuses." (...)
(...) So what I want to argue for, is not, that we should give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas, and make sure that we own them, that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it’s bad enough, not getting what you want, but it’s even worse to have an idea of what it is you want, and find out at the end of the journey, that it isn’t in fact what you wanted all along.

Ever heard about Edupunks? :)
"The challenge is not to bring technology into the classroom, he points out. The millennials, with their Fa.ce.book and their cell phones, have done that. The challenge is to capture the potential of technology to lower costs and improve learning for all."

the relaxing effect of cleaning out the iTunes library
If I would do just one more reflection session, that's the music I'd put :) Just discovered it again after getting it years ago through Napster, good old times :)
I'm just wondering
I guess it depends on the definition of "friend".

About Me
THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, back home after having travelled a little bit of this world, curious and awake, enjoying every breath I take and the moments that take my breath away. I LIKE: my family, cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, connecting with people, experiencing other cultures, going out of my comfort zone, playing around with html, other people's trust, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, tea with honey, acting on my gut feeling, early mornings and late nights, talking to friends and living life consciously I DON'T LIKE: if you don't remember me, coca-cola, feeling inefficient, confrontation, lost opportunities, zero-sum games.
