2 out of 3 : just perfect

just wanted to let you know that this week-end i have a score of 2 out of 3 on my "most wanted, desired, wanted, loved, admired, cared for, ...." list  ..

1. The kids are back in town. After having travelled a bit too much lately they finally made it to my place, staying with me till August 12th.

2. My bike

i finally made it, first trip on my bike since 4 months. My god finally the feeling of wind in my face, the gentle speed, the balance, ... i just loved it so much . It may seem little to all of you, for me it was just heaven ....

all the dreams of travelling to Beijing, the adventure to Petra, going along the coast to Bangkok .. all things that were spinning through my head .... if only you could feel the dizzyness it brings ... better than any drug ...

on the number 3 i will not comment, just that it is sometimes so hard not being able to share with someone you love ...

anyhow: happy travels

life lesson

well, we are about to start the holiday here. Nothing really planned, just an option to go with friends to the South of France or go to the Wadden Islands in the north of Holland ... but nothing set yet. A bit the general tenure of today: nothing planned, just go with the flow.

on the life lessons: well one just has to learn the hard way. i was hoping that experience and dedication would be enough to push trough some opportunities, but seems that this is not the case. More and more it is important to have the connections to get a job instead of experience. Had a really interesting comment on that when i was discussing the interview process with one of my colleagues for a role in our team: the areas asked to probe seemed more experience and knowledge related instead of competency

Maybe that is the reason why some business fail, they put people without experience but with the right attitude. For me it is too easy to do this and opens up for too many mistakes. But maybe it is just me ...

Happy Travels
