Hey guys, it’s been a while.
Last months were hectic, been having my up’s and down’s and most of all lots of work. But now I’m here … just where I longed for some time now to be. I now own my own company. And it feels good. Very good.
I remember being very frustrated somewhere in Autumn last year. I was finally getting somewhere when the whole thing collapsed and I had to start over again. The most difficult thing was to find someone I could trust, I could really rely on … but every now and then help comes from where you don’t expect. I ended up with someone I coached a few years ago during my last AIESEC EB experience. He’s one of the most patient people I know (I do believe I’m challenging his limits sometimes :)) and the whole experience brought us a little closer. It’s cool to talk together about next steps, work together till late in the night and feel excited and happy like little kids about every small step forward. It’s a new start and it’s just like I imagined it to be.

I wanted to post this a long time ago, but until now I didn’t get myself to do it. In the last 26 years, 4 months, 1 day and few hours, my life on this earth, I got to meet a lot of different people. Tall, short, slim, fat, younger, older, friendly, mean, good, bad. From all these people I was lucky enough to connect with some of them, who later became my good friends. I somehow managed to get around the craziest people around.
I went to extreme lengths to get pictures featuring them in some of their craziest moments …

Today I want to talk about diversity. In the last 6 years I had the chance to experience it first hand. A trend that I’ve been noticing lately happening around me, is that people take diversity for granted or do not really understand it. For many people diversity lies in the color of the skin, speech, culture or in names of exotic countries they’ve never heard of.
There’s more in embracing diversity than accepting one’s skin color, culture or speech. It’s also about being open to different ideas and ways of thinking. I believe diversity lies in thought, in the way people come up with their ideas, in the way they express themselves, in accepting the fact that no two people are alike.

Hey guys,
I never missed an LTS but this year it was really close. I’m glad I didn’t. It took some skill to convince my brother to drive 200km :). The drive there was nerve wreaking because of the poor quality of the road, tight turns and icy road. We arrived in the evening right in time for the Alumni session. I don’t think we’ve been so many ever. We talked from the heart about old times about the beginnings, challenges and advice. We definitely did our magic there. Afterwards all of us went to find a suitable place to try out the beautiful layer of snow that had just fallen down that evening and spent 3 good hours, riding downhill on plastic bags, banners or whatever we could get :).

Hey Guys,
On my old site I hosted some drawings made by two friends of mine in the chemistry or physics classes in highschool. They bring back a lot of memories.
Because I was planning for a long time to take the old site down, I decided to make them available on DeviantArt, one of the largest artist communities on the web. It’s sad that none of them are drawing anymore. We were so young back then, dreaming big, like only kids do. After highshool our lives took different turns. I haven’t seen one of them for 6 years.
Yeah, I know, this is life. This doesn’t mean I’m supposed to like it.
Anyway, you can find all the drawings and any other Deviations I’ll upload from time to time on here. You might also want to check Robert or Gabi’s Deviations.
Over and out,
The Lion.
