Bukowski

My dear,

Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

~ Falsely yours, Charles Bukowski

Remember my cat, the greatest negotiator ever?

He could open any door and get what he wanted effortlessly. Well, he was ran over by a car last week-end.

And I guess there is a lesson to be learnt from this awfull tragedy: No matter how great you are at what you do, the reality is like a truck. It will run you over one day if you don’t pay attention.

2018 Global Sales Festival

That is $5,5Bln more than 11.11.2017! 22% sales growth. Millions of people employed in China to service this level of sales. I wonder if someone could estimate CO emissions and waste generated from the global shopping festival in a day. The footprint of this operation becomes very heavy.
