I' ve always liked writing...

So, I am back, after almost 1.5 years. No comment about that, a lot of reasons and excuses, somewhere in the middle lies the answer.

I am not a great blogger I know that. I am nor the best at the new social media, I have no twitter account, don't know how to add cool applications at my blog, I just stay at the basics, the power of my stories, my thoughts, my questions and myself. You like that? Great! Not enough? Even better, there are soo many better, more elaborate and more fancy blogs and media out there! Please go for it...and then come back and try to teach me something:-) hopefully with more success than the previous ones that have tried to:-)

It has been a very interesting one year and a half. Lots happened personally, professionally and still a lot of things are happening. But the past is gone, I live hear and now, excited for the future, but taking each breath at a time...

Perspective is a key word. Experience is another one. Experiences help us to gain perspective on parts that we have not until then seen, felt, tasted and learn from them. They help us to understand the world, the others but most of all us. I lacked and still lack perspective I think, therefore I am now more open to learn.

Approach and attitude. I rush to make conclusions, about issues, people and topics. Hasn't happened to you as well though that you wake up with a nicer mood a day and suddenly your coffee is sooo delicious that you hadn't noticed before? Or you look so beautiful that everyone is staring at you, your eyes are shining and your friends and colleagues ask whether you are "on" something? Just kidding. It's all a matter of approach and attitude. That is the key for managing life and self and not let yourself fly around with the wind...

Living a life with purpose. Dot. Punkt as the Germans say. Telia ke pavla in Greek. A lot of people say it, but a few do it. Having already 28 years in this world, I feel there is a time to also give back, enjoy the world and its pleasures as much as possible, but also live for a purpose that I believe in; in all its forms, sizes, ages and ways I stand for more ethical, educated, responsible young leaders! My intervention way will be through their education and relevant experiences they receive when they are 5, 10, 15, 25 or 30...

After spending 6 months back in Greece, I miss it more than ever. Yes, things are hard, people are different, we are downgraded by the minute by all the possible rating agencies in the world:-)...However, we still know how to laugh, enjoy the bit of money that we have and find a way around. Atenistas, lunch groups, volunteerism, entrepreneurial spirit and so many other things is what is coming out. People that take responsibility and change things right here, right now. How else can a hero of daily life be defined? We do need more mass, we do need more awake minds in any way they can, always with respect and responsibility for us and the generations to come.

I guess that's enough for a small introduction.
