I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.

Wayne Gretzky

This goes perfectly together with Henry Ford saying that if he had asked the people what they wanted, they would have asked for faster horses.

Don’t ask people what they want because in most cases they simply don’t know it themselves. Of course this is not about being an asshole and doing whatever you want, but if you want to create something you should not always listen to people giving you their demands but you should feel free to make something that feels just good.

Without this attitude there would be no cars, no light-bulbs, no iPod, no iPad, nothing brilliant or excellent.

Everyone Has A Story...

Don’t ask my why, but girls just seem to love “bad” boys. This never became more apparent than when my husband earned his patch, and became a member of a large well-known motorcycle club. Instantly, I was thrust into situations that I was ill prepared to deal with.

There is no culture that I’ve ever seen that rivals the biker culture for its attractiveness to random women. Slap a patch on the back of a guy, watch a few episodes of Sons of Anarchy, and these men become like catnip to cats. Add in the rumors that the media programs like Gangland and Outlaw Bikers fuel, and a marriage is suddenly launched into the midst of temptations that it has never had to experience before. And many years ago, this is where I found myself.

For a people watcher, this was an interesting turn for our lives to take. Not…

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The problem with this is that most people don’t talk about their struggles but rather about their success. Why would they talk about the struggles, it is not interesting after all and people are often measured by their success not by their problems.

So what you get from them is: ‘I did this, I did that, I achieved X, I rocked Y’ but you don’t get to hear ‘I failed this, I failed that, I slept in and did not do shit today’. Therefore you might easily think that other people just have their shit together and you don’t so you start questioning yourself.

This is especially a problem in times of social media like facebook. You see always the good side of people…
