The blessing of aging

For many people, getting older is a curse. It is a disaster that they try to delay as much as possible.

There is also the other side. When we get older we tent to move into our habits more. We are less flexible in our plans and we pursue comfort and quality spending of our time.

This is actually a good thing. You don’t want to say yes to everything, because you have more responsibilities and your time becomes precious. So would you want to get wasted with strangers or do wine tasting with good friends?

There is also the aspect of finding a partner. Usually if you are single, you have had a few relationships already and you know your worth and what you are okay compromising on and what is not.

Let’s embrace the fact that getting older is a good thing when done right and invest our time to become a better version of ourselves every year.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
