Why I worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster
As many of you did, I kinda paused a little when I was facing some facebook questions for setting up my account a year ago (or so).One of those were “Do you have any religious views?“I said “Yes”.
I worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
And quite interestingly, we are now more than 100 people (in France), declaring [...]
Happiness quantified
INSEE results are out. At what age most french people happy?
I hear most people say: “NEVER!”. They wouldn’t be wrong, I think.Happiness is a downwards slope until you reach 45.That’s the worst age. Explanation given, that’s when your marriage explodes and you see your kids having more fun than you do.
Good news: the best is [...]
The first bite is the hardest
When you hate doing something, the best way to finally get it done, is to actually start doing it.(Yes, that’s how I tidy my room.)
But now, that little change has become contagious. It has even spread to my clothing and my blog.I can’t stand that poor template any more. I can’t stand the stupid pictureless [...]
Progress check – Millionaire before 30?
As some of you may know, I have written down some of my objectives.
One of them was to become millionaire before I turn 30.
I can’t really confirm that. Yet.
I recently stumbled on that video, on that vey topic.

Building the cash machine…
I have met successful entrepreneurs. And I came up with my own understanding of getting to success.

Getting stuff done and stop smoking!
Funny how we have some basic patterns that are hard-wired in your brain.When I think “Tidy my room?”, I know it’s something I HAVE to do.But somehow I am NOT doing it.
So it’s a mess and girls do notice, whatever they say.
My productivity has been going down lately, and I always feel that everything except [...]
The use of proven openers to meet people
When you try to meet people, at various occasions – including picking up girls, you have got to say something first.
Apart from Chuck Norris, whose pick-up line is “NOW”, mortals like me have to settle for something that is somewhat more indirect.
I remember I used to collect pick-up lines because they were fun:-My name is [...]
We are value-driven robots.
Yup.I realized it some time ago.
Saying that everyone is different would be a truism.Saying that people have different values would be a truism as well.
Naturally, as I am telling that to you, you feel that you have experienced that before.You remember those neverending arguments about something that did not even came close to what you [...]
When I developed a feeling towards numbers
I remember when I was in prep school.
Life was a game. Maths was a game.Collect the exercises. Gotta catch them all.We spent a lot of time with friends, sharing exercises…
Some people didn’t do that. They were thinking about the stakes.They were thinking about their future. What they would be doing later on.What the results would [...]
