The power to choose

It was a cloudy and rainy day. A typical one in which you can easily find yourself wondering about your life, your job, how much deep are the wrinkles on your hand, what could have been if ten years ago you had choosen that path instead the one you actually chose and so on. 

Within a few seconds you decided to wear your old running shoes and go outside despite the weather. You took a deep breath. How much clean is this air? 

You found yourself lost in your thoughts more than ever and suddenly you started to run, no matter what. The thick air whispering through your hair and ears, that sense of liberation. A warm hug for your soul.  

In less than twelve steps you were far from home and more happy than ever to be there. Not because you felt uncomfortable at home, but just for the happiness to be there, for having consciously chosen to be there, to have found a minute for you. 

You were wet and dirty but you were free. 

What are you waiting for?

Then I find a young tree, solid and alone, standing in its natural beauty. It reminds me of the giant California’s sequoia and also a very beautiful passage I read some years ago, taken from a very interesting book written by César Hidalgo, visiting professor at Harvard University - Why Information Grows: The Evolution of Order, from Atoms to Economies: "Consider a tree. A tree, in its semi-"frozen" state, is a computer powered by sunlight. A tree reacts to the length of the day, running a different program in the summer than in the winter. It figures out

Behind a quiet guy

How many times at your workplace, you encountered quiet people? Often are very kind and silent ones, who prefer to stay out of the crowd and not being involved in arguing, if not really needed. They usually spend coffee break alone or with other two or three people. They prefer to breath some fresh air during lunchtime or simply go out for a walk. Sometimes those people are confused/accused to be introvert and narrow-minded, or even worst weak and haughty. Actually, most of them are brilliant and competent people who like to be simply as they are. Guys and girls with a new family to take care of, who are dreamer, passionate with exploring the world, plus, they usually read a lot. If you are lucky to meet one of them, you will discover that their typical day could be something like: • Waking up early in the morning. • Feeding the dog/cat. • Changing baby's diapers. • Managing all the house stuff, in a rush. • If time remains, having a quick breakfast. • Taking kids to kindergar
