Well, life is once, isn't? why not to share pieces of mine with others?

Resumiendo

Here I am, at home...

Home in Rotterdam. Since some time ago, I have decided to call home wherever I am at the moment.

During the last days I have discovered a lot about myself. I want this to be a selfish post from myself to myself. I want to write here those key things that I have realized now that I have had the chance to slow down. Write them here to make sure that while I write them down I grab them and place them in my routines, in my habits.
--------------
I have learned that people around you matter. The ones that are around you influence the world you live in. No matter you lie to yourself many times saying that it doesn't work that way. So be careful of the people you hang around with - they can be the best inspiration or the worst nightmare.
--------------
You don't change people.
You change yourself and that changes people, just because.
--------------
Your world is what you want it to be. If you don't like it, move! If you like it, enjoy!
You don't need to spend your life in complaining. It is better to smile.
So, look for the things that make you smile.
--------------
Loneliness is a good company.
Not all the time, not forever, but definitely is a good friend that I need to visit more often.
--------------
Living life fast is the new trend. I kinda like it.
Not stopping to let things sink is not healthy anyway.
Balance is needed everywhere, not necessarily happens continuously, but it needs to be found.
--------------
Love is not about a relationship.
Love is about love.
--------------
Don't be scared about the kind of person you want to be. Let it emerge, it is within you.
It is within me! I am already that that is fighting to 'be' now.
Gandalf is awesome!
--------------
You are a beautiful person.

That summarizes 2006 inside me.

Remember.
Forget.
Let it go.
Let it come.

Hey Dey
HAAAAAAAAAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
That 2006 Summary is very touching... It seems as if you took all my thoughts & wrote them in the best way possible!!
I would like to take this moment to Thank you for being an inspiration to me since last year when you visited Egypt on your country visit, my visit to AI last Jan, your message to my team about Top 50 LCs...
and so I would like to invite you to attend my wedding on thursday June 14th here in Egypt (we've finally set the date!). I know that it will be during the time of transition, but there are cheap flights (99 euros each way!) from Brussels on jetairfly that can bring you to cairo on the day of the wedding & leave on sunday so it will be just a weekend...
It would sure mean a lot to me if you can be here Dey...

Hi Dey!

I think I learned two biggest things, not really about myself but about, well, life...

Here they are:
1. Why be mediocre if you can be the best (actually with this one, I was inspired by you when you visited Tunisia)
2. Embrace life no matter how hard it hits you

Hi all...

Siz, recently it happened I saw Shakira in an interview on TV. When she was asked about why she was so perfectionist she answered something is still clicking in my mind and I think is related to your point number one; she said:

"Why would something be ordinary when it can be good? Why would something be good when it can be good? Why would something be good when it can be very good? why would something be very good when it can be great? That is what I do not understand, it's simple..."

I just recall that in a past interview she said also something that triggered more thoughts on me: "It is so complicated the way to simplicity...".

Stars have a say, isn't?

Cheers,

Dey

She does. And in a way she's right, sometimes things that are so simple can be so perfect... :)
