GAAP revisited

It's about a year now since I finished the MBA, and soon it will be a year since I flew to South America for an exciting 2-month trip.

Earlier this week I went back to the MBA office in order to help with the selection process of MBA candidates as alumnus. Tonight I will be going to this year's MBA ball, where my fellow students from last year will celebrate their graduation. And just a few minutes ago I passed by my sister's blog after a long time without reading her posts (shame on me!). I admire her persistence as a writer ...

Anyway, all these flashbacks made me thought it was about time to start writing again. Many things have happened since September, and I will not try to cover them all, but here are few lessons that I could write in my Balance Sheet (or Income Statement?) of the last year:

• Life is more fun when you have somebody to share it with.
• I am NOT as perfect, as strong and as fantastic as I thought I was.
• I can give much more of me when I learn what my weaknesses are and act accordingly.
• The worst thing you can do with problems is to ignore them.
• It is easier to dream something than to build it, but if you only build you are a fool, and if you only dream you make a fool of yourself.
• I like independence, I don't like having a boss, and I don't want to be a boss either.
• I hate having to go to work everyday at the same time.
• There are a lot of interesting people out there, and a lot of suffering people too.
• To give grace and to receive it are among the most powerful acts on Earth.
• Europe is not the centre of the world.
• There is life without football.
