This is what Amsterdam looked like last month from the Mavenpick Hotel.
I don’t like football but I like this.

Just got back from the World Summit on Media for Children and Youth 2010, held in Karlstad, Sweden. The highlight of the whole experience was the people I met.
Actually, it was the friends I met!
In such a short space of time these fantastic individuals challenged me, made me laugh so much, taught and inspired, shared dances, food, drink, stories, secrets, dreams, hopes, hugs—I already miss them!
My Karlstad conference family.

A fantastic line taken from a great film (thanks CJ)—related post : A Thing Of Beauty#14.
“Quiet your cleverness so that you can learn”, “rethink reframe redesign”, “do you want to dive into the world today or create your own space”, “5 principles : it begins inside, inspiration vs desperation, see.feel.change, nature as a mentor, trust = authenticity”, “if you have a company with meaning and value you have effortless loyalty.”
This made me realise we have to attach a sense of value to our time and attention then match it to the most important part of our lives—we also need to protect it. Example : we check emails because we need to check who we are today (it defines our tasks).
Time and attention are too precious not to understand, manage or communicate.
