Our allies will not necessarily be the kind of dazzling people to whom everyone looks up and of whom they say: ‘There’s none better.’
On the contrary, they are people who are not afraid of making mistakes and who do, therefore, make mistakes, which is why their work often goes unrecognized.
Yet they are just the kind of people who transform the world and, after many mistakes, manage to do something that can make a real difference in their community.
They are people who can’t bear to sit around waiting for things to happen in order to decide which attitude to adopt; they decide as they act, well aware that this could prove highly dangerous.
Living with such people is important because we need to realize that before we face our goal, we must first feel free enough to change direction.

Could my Russian friends help us (the publishing house, the agent and myself) to choose? please post your opinions in “Comments” below [...]
The boy was walking to buy bread when the mayor of the city crossed the street. ‘The reason he is so powerful, is because, he’s made a pact with the devil,’ a very devout woman in the street told the boy. Some time later, when travelling to another town, the boy saw a beautiful corn [...]
the video takes 20 sec to load AND does not play in Apple devices (not my fault!) Of course this may be very boring to watch. But I decided to record 20 minutes of me writing my new book. The feed was transmitted live on Twitter Admin Note : You can also watch it at [...]
It is hard to find anyone in any of the Scandinavian countries who does not know this law. Although the law exists since the beginning of civilization, it was only officially declared in 1933 by writer Aksel Sandemose in the novel “A refugee goes beyond limits.” The sad truth is that the Law of Jante [...]
