I got the following forwarded today, thought it was nice to share

Mystery

There is extraordinary value in knowledge. And there is also
much value in what you do not know.

For in the unknown, there are possibilities that have no
restrictions. When contemplating the unknown, your
imagination has no limits.

Though the unknown can be frightening, it can also be
magnificently beautiful and inspiring. You can put into it
whatever you wish.

In the realm of things you do not know, there is plenty of
room for the joy of discovery and the enlightenment of
learning. There is ample space to dream, to envision, and to
grow.

To act as if you already know everything is to deny yourself
all the good things that are yet to be imagined and
discovered. Mystery gives life a depth and richness that you
would not want to be without.

As each moment passes, make good use of all the things you
know. And be thankful that you don't know it all.

Am back from Copenhagen, missed out on the Little Mermaid (didn't even find a t-shirt saying 'I went to Copenhagen and all I got was this lousy t-shirt' :)). Today was filled with meetings, meetings and more meetings and tomorrow I'm off to Brussels to inform my main customer (BT) that they'll have to do without me from mid February…it's always nice to drop a bomb! So, no ordinary office work these days, yay!

human destiny is beyond human beings."

Saw the time of this post…??? Am off to Copenhagen for work…7am flight, so had to get up before 5am…

Definately *not* good, aahhh…then again, I'm The Flash! hehe.

Have no idea if I'll get near an internet connection, so it could be quiet here till I come back, tomorrow evening.

Much in my current life-flow has to do with initiative and taking control/responsibility of me, myself and I.

I see and feel it as a natural part of the development of my being, which in a way has been slowing down a bit over the last years. Not that this is a problem…it just IS. (first of all, I don’t believe in problems, they are merely facts in life…you either create an opportunity out of it or not!).

Looking back I have been somewhat on the sideline, picking those things that passed by which somewhat caught my interest, more re-active than pro-active. And you know what? Living life like that is sssoooo easy, it seems that society/ones environment is tailored for that. There is enough entertainment and distraction, most decisions are made for you if you ‘choose’ so and money has been made so overly important for ‘people’ that it can be (and *is* in many cases!) the only motive worth living for…welcome to modern (’western’?) society where true passion seems to float away and only sporadically comes to the surface, well, not enough anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to paint a black picture here…I still see many many positive things happening all around me, but the overall trend is there. Mainstream media has, over the last decades, played a big role in shushing ‘the people’ and taking control over their lives, and actually, people feel good by that…as I said, living that life is in a way sssoooo easy! Remember ‘The Matrix’ movie, skip the amazing visual effects and read the bigger picture between the frames…the potential threat of mass-cultivation…it is happening, eh?

That is one of the reasons why the internet has been truly my thing from my first experience with it in the early 90’s and why it plays such an important part in my (personal) life. It creates opportunities for and links people together away from the paved (and cultivated) paths and by that mainstream media looses control (on a sidenote; check out Adam Curry’s blogpost ‘MSM Tipping Point‘; a prediction for 2007)

The internet; I think of it as the beta-program of something much much bigger…bringing people/spirits/energies together and become ONE again…hmm, that’s not likely to happen in 2007 though

What is?

Well, as said; taking control! It truly *is* the right time (and the only time too, namely NOW!) that this ‘happens’.

That’s the reason I am feeling so good lately, having made the first step back in regaining control of my life and my future!!

It seems that something big is coming up, I wonder what will be announced at MacWorld coming week!!

Well, it's definately a nice way to say Happy New Year!!

Much more appealing than our friends over at Microsoft, guess the New Year for them is just business as usual.

Happy New Year everrryyybodyyy!

Am no guy for New Years resolutions, so don't expect them here. I believe more in New Day resolutions …in the end, January 1 is 'just' another new day, eh? Especially when considering that half the world population (China and India) celibrates New Year on a different date!
