My book "Happy Fountains" has a new review on Amazon.
Translation:
"A charming, lovable book that takes us to the bliss of the moment and to our memories of many happy moments.
But also it is a mirror that shows that childish pleasure can be independent of age.
Images that encourage you to linger, that make summer and the joy of water games palpable and invite the reader to immerse themselves in their own childhood and the summer joys of that time.
A fascinating book that I recommend to many readers and astonished viewers."

The moment you point the finger at someone criticizing or judging them:
Look how many fingers point at you!
Humans have problems with communication. You, me and everyone else.
Unfortunately we don't learn that in school. And some people never learn to communicate.
It is a life long journey. We have to switch from "me" to "you".
A conflict is not about being right. It is trying to really understand the other one.
And please try to understand and be understood.
We all are not perfect. We see and experience things differently.
If we fight, criticize each other and trying to be right and make the other one feel wrong, we will not find a solution. This is one reason why relationships fall apart.
LACK OF GOOD COMMUNICATION.
LISTEN, DON'T POINT YOUR FINGER, TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND BE UNDERSTOOD.
It's not about who is right or wrong. It's about how can we fix this as a team.
HOW can I be a better communicator?
Education! There is a lot of good imformation online.
But for starters, what worked best for me:
Let the other one finish their thoughts, without interruption. Let the person speak so long until they have nothing to say.
Then take a pause, think about what has been said.
Now it's your turn. Ask the other person to return the favor, to talk without being interrupted.
That's the first step. Being a good communicator and problem solver takes a life time of learning.
So let's start NOW!
What is the secret to success?
Talent, intelligence, hard work, luck and connections?
Those things are a great setup. A guaranty for success?
NO!
Something is missing. The most important:
PERSISTENCE!
Did you ever think that you could break a glass with a small dice?
Me neither.
I threw those dices many times in the glass.
After 20 times it broke.
I threw it few more times. More damage.
WOW!
Such small dices can break a glass!
How? With persistence.
You are that small dice.
And you can make the impossible, possible.
By being persistent.
