Untangling Disease?
I’ve been a bit slow with writing these days as three weeks ago I was privileged to be part of a small group who attended the inauguration of a new research institute in India which took all of my time.

You Are What You Eat
We’ve all heard the sentence “you are what you eat” and with the exception of genetic diseases and other pre-existing medical conditions, it’s probably true in most cases.

Götterdämmerung
After researching climate change, geoengineering and the patents documenting the related technologies involved, I was wondering how much influence an ordinary human could really have on the weather we see out there every day.

Life's Seasons
There's also one concept we have here. You can see now nicely, it's autumn, right? It's actually winter. One more week. So when you, when you think about summer, autumn, winter, spring. In every life you have these seasons. So when, when a person is experiencing an autumn or a winter in their lives, everyone has...
AQ — The Innovation Grit
People have their hopes and dreams and there's no point in trying to reduce them to anything. But just by sharing sometimes, the pains that you have as a, as an entrepreneur and as you know, you are an entrepreneur yourself, there are innumerous challenges that you have all the time.
Mindset Realities
Back to your question. I like this movie matrix, right? So it gives you this perception what is reality versus what is not. But at the end of the day, both is reality. It's their reality. So reality is decided in your mind. It's not decided necessarily by outside factors.
