The analogy of data being new oil is used a lot, with the idea that you somehow “found it” and all the sudden, you are rich. I’ve also seen a statement that data is an asset because it has real and measurable value. It slightly suggests that collecting data might be somehow similar to owningContinue reading “Is data an asset or a liability?”

Happiness? Who said so?
“I wish I would have spent more time with my family.” says an ex-CEO and a board member of few companies. “I believe happiness comes from those small moments.”. No, you don’t. Why, when there is a conversation about happiness we take someone who had success in a business and listen to them talk aboutContinue reading “Happiness? Who said so?”
Do you listen to people or legal entities?
Have you ever wondered that a lot of content related to your day to day life and longevity is created and published by companies rather than individuals?

Why “just above average”
Lately, I’ve been wondering what I would want my life to look like. Especially in the long term. Two, three years ago I would have no idea if someone would ask me “How do you want your life to look like in 5 years?”. Now, fairly intuitively, I can group it into three points inContinue reading “Why “just above average””
How long will I live?
Give or take 80 years. Hopefully. By the time I was 15 we’ve learned to walk, talk and a bit about our world and relationships. It seemed like a long time, but I have around four times more ahead. By the time I finished university I thought I knew a lot and yet I’ve hadContinue reading “How long will I live?”
Why even try?
Knowing that I’ve always been really terrible at writing was stopping me from starting a blog to share some random thoughts for years. I’ve started few blogs over last few year, although I never wrote anything. I always really liked setting up different WordPress themes following with sheer disappointment and frustration “WHY DOESN’T IT LOOKContinue reading “Why even try?”
