Playing and not Playing

We recently filmed a new podcast with colleagues and partners at Dynamic Learning. I warmly invite you to watch this substantive dialog. I have retained many interesting ideas from the discussion with my colleagues, but I would like to limit myself, for the moment, to a very interesting comment by Eduard Adam, a talented actor […]

Water and Conscience!

I look at the glass of water on the bedside table. It’s morning and, for over 30 years, I’ve made a habit of starting the day with a glass of water before getting out of bed. It has become such a natural part of my routine that I don’t even notice it anymore. Why do […]

Rewrite your story!

It’s more than 15 years since I wrote my first book. Since then, I’ve published three more books in various literary genres and worked on two feature-length movie scripts. Now I’m concentrating on finalizing my fifth book. In all this time, I have invested countless hours documenting the art of writing. I’ve learned about how […]

Repetition is the mother of learning!

Did you know that we forget about 75% of what we learn in the first days? What’s more, without additional work, after 30 days we retain a maximum of 2-3% of what we have learned! Sounds incredible, but true! It was the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus who studied this phenomenon and was the first to […]

Why are we looking for the sunrise?

I have a lighter but hopefully inspiring theme today. Ever wondered why we love sunrises? Or why we contemplate the sunset in a state of euphoria? If there’s a sunrise, what could be more appropriate than watching it on the seaside with loved ones? If you’ve ever been to Vama Veche, in front of the […]

Life is not fair!

I frequently hear statements like: “life is not fair” or “fate is cruel” and many other variations on the same theme. I’m not going to tell you it isn’t. I don’t want to come up with all that therapeutic advice like “what is it about your current situation that makes you feel that life isn’t […]

Do you have a clear message?

This morning I was listening to Mihai Morar’s podcast with Teodora Mețiu, who was talking about the secret language we have: our voice. It got me thinking about what Ms. Mețiu said about a quote from a letter by Mark Twain to a friend: “Forgive me, my dear friend, for writing to you at length, […]

Do you find it hard to ask for help?

I was reminded this morning of an interesting topic to which I don’t know if I have an adequate answer, but I’d like to share it with you and maybe you’ll have more clarity on the mechanisms triggered in our brains. Why is it hard for some people to ask for help? A while ago […]

Stress – your daily pill

In my most recent book, The Imp and the Angel – The Two Personal Advisors Who Guide Our Lives, I wrote about one of the things that has fascinated me throughout my corporate career in transportation and logistics: the opportunity to learn so much about different industries. In order to have a qualified opinion about […]

Your body needs you!

I went for another run outside today, before going to the gym. I’ve made it a habit to warm up with an easy run in nature, then hit the gym to work on muscle groups. It’s a combination I recommend, but that’s not what I want to talk about today. I ask myself: why are […]
