Don’t be under the false impression That people around you should “understand” you In fact, you should always assume that people will misunderstand you Why? Because they are not you They don’t have all the: personal experiences data context insights that you have But don’t let that discourage you from doing what you’re doing Hopefully you have very good reasons for why you’re doing what you’re doing But remember that you will never be able to explain that to anyone...

We need to create a future Where it’s much easier for men and women to decide to build a family with kids Right now, for most Millenials and Gen Z This is incredibly difficult Women feel like they will kill their careers if they have kids This is unacceptable I don’t know exactly how we do this But we have to Because otherwise our future looks grim and I’m perfectly aware that there are people out there that have no interest in having kid...

What does a NO mean? (in a professional context) A “No” simply means this: We are saying no to hiring you right at this moment in time according to the data and context you have provided in your job application and the stalking we have done on you on Google, X, LinkedIn, etc Because it is not immediately clear to us that by hiring you we would be making a good decision...

I don’t believe in the concept of one: “soulmate” Instead, I believe in the concept of: “soul clusters” Let me explain: How many people are there on planet Earth? 8 billion people Do I believe that there is only 1 person out of these 8 billion people that is my soulmate No, that sounds ridiculous to me Rather, I believe that there are a reasonably sized group of people Spread around the world...

Imagine if Mahatma Gandhi had listened to his family and friends and would have been more reasonable and gotten a nice job as a lawyer making a good salary : ) What would the world look like then?
