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.

Hiellou!

Bellow is another piece of my favorite music. I’ve discovered it quite recently while I was surfing the net. I think it’s the masterpiece of Peter Doherty, a singer that was quite unknown to me till recently. Open “Lion’s Radio” and scroll down to listen to it. Enjoy.

Peter Doherty – Music When The Lights Go Out
Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind,
and to lie to you rather than hurt you?
Well I’ll confess all of of my sins
after several large gins but still I’ll hide from you,
hide what’s inside from you.

And alarm bells ring
when you say your heart still sings
when you’re with me.
Won’t you please forgive me?

But I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no

I’m still working at my old workplace at the university. It’s been 4 years since I first walked in this office, it’s like a lifetime and I think I will remember it as one the coolest jobs I had. No schedule, funny colleagues, very cool boss, nights spent over when something was not working, first steps in understanding design-web-computer networks.

Lot’s of memories bind me to this place and people with all good and bad times, bonds almost as strong as my AIESEC experience. A part of me is literally in every piece of this office: in the paint on the walls, the boards of the floor, the equipments, the folders in the other room, every piece of web code and databases, every configuration file and scripts on the servers, and mostly in the people here. The team of five that made it all possible. Trust me, we did achieve the impossible together. Although I try to postpone the moment as long as I can as each day passes I realize that it’s time to it’s time to spread my wings and fly away. For me there’s nothing more to learn, nothing more to experience, nothing more to develop, to grow to create … Not here.

Hi guys,
Thought I’d drop another line today.

Although I have this song since last year I never thought of putting it in my blog. It’s one of my favorite songs, because of the message it sends out. The song’s I’m talking about is: Walters & Kazha – The War Is Not Over. Just start “Lion’s Radio” and scroll down.

Walters & Kazha – The War Is Not Over^[1]

I slowly walk into the night around
To see how dreams of people die
They gently fall from windows all around
And crash against the ground like glass
And I’m so sorry I’m so helpless in this angry world
If only I could change it for one day

The war is not over everyone knows it
It’s just a reason to make us believe
That someone’s the loser someone’s the winner
To make us believe that’s the way it should be
But I don’t wanna believe

In the story they all tell this fairytale has gone to far
I take a step and dare myself to be free
To see how beautiful we are that everyone can be a star
If only we would start believe in dreams
Believe in who we are

The Lion.^[1]

I’m not in a very good mood now. I’m always telling myself to take the people around me as they are, not to set expectations, not allow them to let me down.

Last weekend I found out that no matter how hard I try to look at people in this way sometimes it’s just not working. People will let you down, sooner or later. It’s unbelievable how vanity, pride and anger can compromise a person. People you helped develop, you believed in, close friends do sometimes things beyond your comprehension. They can’t even explain their actions to themselves. And in this process they use for target practice people you care about, people guilty only of being close to you. Is it fear, lack of character, pure evil or what? I don’t know. It’s always hard to move on and still be able to interact with these people. I for one cannot hate another. I believe that hate only tears you inside up and noting good can come out of it. Also the person you hate, doesn’t care or doesn’t know about it. Loose-Loose situation.

It still takes some time for the initial feelings to wear off. I’ve been trough this a million times and every time it’s the same as the first time. And every time everything changes. Nothing is the same anymore. You will remember it every time one of these people asks you for a favor or in the strangest moments. I hate the way we remember these things! I’ll move on, as always … the faster you pick yourself up, the faster you get back on track. I want to be there for my friends, the ones I hurt unwillingly. Bellow are beautiful songs that help me a lot in these moments. I’m always listening to the lyrics. They’re everything to me. If you want to listen to them, open “Lion’s Radio” at the top of the page and scroll down.
