Why negative information spreads so fast?
We’re trained evolutionarily to spread negative information fast. It perfectly makes sense, we have to survive, so we need to know what’s wrong in order to avoid it. This happens especially when we’re talking about any kind of threats.

The game of generosity
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” - Winston Churchill
Like any other living organism in the universe, we survive. What does an organism do in order to survive? It consumes. Here’s an example: I am hungry! Let me seek some food. OK, I got the food. I consume it, no more hunger. Churchill summarized survival wonderfully: “We make a living by what we...
I am because someone dreams me
I am because someone dreams me; a man who sleeps and dreams and sees me acting, living and moving – and who is dreaming at this moment as I am speaking to you.
When he dreams, I awake to life; when he awakes, my existence vanishes. I am a whim of his inspiration, a creation of his mind, a visitor in his nightly fantasies. - Giovanni Papini

Parkour, omelet and creativity
It’s a lovely Monday morning and I’m enjoying this lovely omelet together with Iulia. From time to time, I randomly throw a look at the rooftops from my neighborhood. I won’t have the opportunity to take a walk on the rooftops of Bucharest any soon. Who cares, I already found a place to do it.
Those rooftops. They’re fascinating. I find myself looking at them again and I...
Look mom, no hands!
I recently had the pleasure to ride Vlad’s dream bike and took a shot at riding it without holding the handlebars.
It’s been years, many years, since I used to do tricks with my old-school Pegas bike that my parents gave me. I was a bit afraid to do it now, I must admit it - but, it’s the lack of practice, stupid!

Questions search answers
Reading Bogdana’s post on search behavior inspired me to think a little bit more about how I search. It also reminded me of a compelling vision of search shared by Andrej a while ago.

Time is for the taking. Take your time
A few weekends ago, while I was travelling back home, I started working on an idea related to time. I didn’t have a clear image in my head so I just started playing with my Brushes.
While playing, my train of thought led me to this concept. Time is what I want it to be. Time is choosing the 9 to 11 interval and working on something meaningful. Time is having fun: just like forgetting hours...
“Courage is not the absence of fear, courage is acting in spite of fear.”
