What does old age mean anyway? It looks like it is a vague notion of a confusing something that somehow involves your body, your mind and your ability to even think about death. The older you get, the lesser your chances of proving yourself ready for dying. Does this sound like a major paradox? It… Continuă lectura The New Age

Know-how
Age beautifully? OK. Sounds nice. But how? You cannot do it unless you start practicing really early. There is no way you can decide in your 50s that it would be so much nicer to age with dignity. When it will actually happen, it will be too late to put the „aesthetics” before the function.… Continuă lectura Know-how
THE BRIGHTEST DEAL
Go out and look at people. Have you noticed their faces? Their September faces? They are glowing, confident, snappy! That extravagant summer tan is slowly fading, leaving all those cappuccino-coloured spots behind – on foreheads, shoulders, necks. The eyes are back in action. There is no more summer lust running down the cheeks like half-melted strawberry ice… Continuă lectura THE BRIGHTEST DEAL
Femme fatale
To advertise yourself as both smart & sexy is not only narcissistic, it is also inefficient and tacky. It makes you look greedy; and ultimately foolish. Also, it is the easiest way to be misunderstood by your awfully heterogeneous „target audience”. By playing both cards at once, you will not only lose both, but you… Continuă lectura Femme fatale
All of us, passers-by
We meet dozens of people every day. Most of them have no particular abilities, no particular hobbies, no particular purposes, no particular ambitions, and no particular appearance. And most of them look sad. Ask them why. You will soon find out where their sadness comes from: they are disappointed for not being able to do… Continuă lectura All of us, passers-by
Come down
The art of lowering your expectations. Nobody tells you there is such a thing. Nobody tells you how to master it. Nobody tells you when is the right time to learn it. And why it is so important. It is all about reaching high. Dream new dreams, try harder until you succeed or drop dead.… Continuă lectura Come down
Grow sane!
There are not that many windmills left in this world and I am tired of fake Don Quixotes. I am tired of those who use insanity as an alibi, as a defense or as a weapon. I am tired of those who sell it as art or as virtue. Taking pleasure in your own insanity… Continuă lectura Grow sane!
TAKE CARE!
What does it really mean to care about someone? Lately, every sort of caring seems to be a variation of self-care. It is against the nature to care about anyone except yourself. It is unwise, it is ridiculous, it is „way off”. To be cared for – well, this is even worse. It is the… Continuă lectura TAKE CARE!
Against Innocence
The older I get, the more I doubt people’s ability to stay (reasonably) sane. After all, the more we fight for our sanity, the less we deserve it. And thus, from the depths of my insanity, I say this: I don’t believe in innocence! I would rather believe in ignorance, ineptitude and imbecility, but innocence… Continuă lectura Against Innocence
The Good, The Bad and The Girls
There is something incredibly witty about the „good fashion” and something incredibly stupid about the „bad” one. Fashion is either unbelievable or unbearable. Fashion is either an intimidatingly impressive experience or a true emotional ordeal to go through. There is no such thing like „reasonable” fashion. „Reasonable” fashion is not fashion but a minimal condition… Continuă lectura The Good, The Bad and The Girls
