I got out of my room to go to the PC+Internet to write this, what irony…
Right now I wish deeply to be somewhere out in the nature, away from people, and take pleasure in getting physically tired with a simple goal - walk in a direction the whole day, go to sleep, and after awakening continue in the same direction.
When the body beats the brain, when sharpness of mind can not help the fact that its your feet tht have to carry you on and on, when you feel away from people and in the middle of real world, that is the kind of beauty that you will always remember.
After being to dozen countries, those 6 days when I just walked are much harder to believe than me standing at the foot of Nanga Parbat, me hopping of a train in a small town in the middle of a desert or me sitting under palm trees on a beach in Africa.
This feeling makes me play with the decision to end this internship in June 2009 (making it only 9 months long) or maybe stay longer or go somewhere else, so that I arrive to Slovakia before summer 2009 or 2010 and than spend another at least a month just walking and walking… Maybe its time to go East to West, and maybe not stop on the border…
Its sad that I cant walk or cycle in Africa, its too hot….
I got finally matched!
I am going to Ghana soon, to work for one year in Capital Group - an HR agency in Accra, the capital, to work on this TN.
I still dont know when I am leaving, only one thing is for sure - soon. The company would like me to come in less than a month… Lets see if I can manage.
Looks like I should speed up with my “Slovakia travel” plans 
So here am I, after a year in Pakistan I am back home in Slovakia, in the valley of Turiec (name of the river that passes it), in the towns of Vrutky (my hometown) and Martin (town where I was born)…
What were my first impressions?
Continue reading ‘first impressions…’
So what kind of crazy thoughts come to my head these times?
Well the goals are:
- finish MC in Pakistan on 1st of July
- travel Pakistan for 2-3 weeks
- go back to Slovakia in an interesting way (I still dont know what it means)
- travel Slovakia and Czech republic for some month
- while being in Slovakia, walk/hike it from East to West (like 2 weeks?)
I just gave a thought about my working style and what gives me the most pleasure at work and put together a couple of thoughts on how should my job look like (rather than what should it be).
Again one of those articles that makes no sense to anybody who doesnt really care to know what I think 
So here we go:
I was not born to lead unefficient people, people who will not follow what they promised, people who have to be micromanaged. I also cant lead people that cant be quiet and listen (when its time to listen), I loose my patience with them too fast.
I want to be an artist in my job, move and work with grace, talk about things that sound like natural to me, but are new and surprising for other. It can be even (preferably) be things that I have realized just a moment before I tell them, as I will feel the pleasure of discovering something new, that nobody thought of before. I want to to tell analysises, sum-ups, point out connections of randomly spread facts that together make a pattern. I would like to be an emotions manager - analysing what will people think/feel in a situation, be a creep who estimates reactions, a calculating “TV serial killer” like guy…
Here am I, Lahore, Pakistan, 7 months out of home, 6 months on the job, 1 year and a half after graduation, 24 years old, 8 months since I have met a girl worth falling in love with and 4 months since I met her last time, no money spared and no intension to join normal work force soon…
Seems like a good day to recapitulate 2007? Well, not really… Not for me. This year finished not very remarkably. True I am being stuck in Lahore due to historical events, but actually I am just stuck in a place where nothing changes and days just pass by.
In a situation like this You really find out that there is nothing remarkable about the midnight of 31st of December… Its just a symbol a nudge for us to accept that one year is gone and start planning for next. But it also shows that any day can be the “judgement“… I guess I will skip it today and make it some other day.
…whatta a dull post. Lets make it little better… my year 2007 in photos…
But still… happy new year… and not just one.. all of them.. and may all be new and exciting
And if some of You are interested what is going on on the pictures, or why are they there, just ask me by email, I will reply, If I want to… (no offence, some of them are insider only)
