  • A comment on Talk: Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work

    Mar 6 2012: Amazing talk!!! During a visit in Yale, last year, I got to spend 40 days with exceptional people... students that you could tell, they would make an impact to the world. Yet, from my encounter with these wonderful people I found unhappiness, I found stress and a short-sighted perspective of " Get busy" The shocking fact was that after just one week, I found myself also being stressed by this competition, being unhappy and negative about my position in the world. Instead of fully appreciating my experience I started to get insecure and frightened. I immediately observed a decline in my productivity and effectiveness

    My last week at Yale I focused on connecting with these kids in a deeper and more personal way. Happiness is just a matter of choice and perspective. And thus it is our duty to assist people towards this direction. You will find astonishing how happy and productive you will be just by assisting others to find a more positive and energetic processing method.

    You can be happy by letting other people that they can be happy.... like a domino!!!!

  • A comment on Talk: Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability

    Apr 6 2011: Oh my God what a beathtaking speach!!! I am deeply touched by the topic and your opinions. As i person struggling with volnerability cause I learned not to accept it, sure the conclusion is revolutionairy. We are the generation that was raised by the need to be excellent and multitasking, what a fine ambition!!! But we have to understand it is normal if we don't. It is what makes us special... Me, i'm trying to accept that.
