The ultimate vacation - life

I've decided long ago that my life will be all about traveling. Not for work, not as a travel agent or something of a sort... Whatever I do will be means to an end, and the end will be the next trip.
The big question is: work hard and get paid or work less hard and get less paid.
We all know one needs money to travel and enjoy life, but a part of enjoying life is not working hard, isn't it? So where do we draw the line? What is the balance between not working hard but still earning enough money to travel? And what is enough?
I'm still not sure and questioning myself often. I think this is one of the most difficult questions to answer, for me at least. What is the balance? Not only between money and the amount of work. But the balance between being happy at work and being happy traveling. You probably think, "rich man's problems" right? But, it's not. It's an existential question not less. It's the way you choose to live your life without compromising on what makes you tick.

Great minds...

When you just do it...

Great minds...

If everyone's different isn't everyone the same?

Great minds...

Which is better? You will be the judge...

Coca Cola

Pepsi

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Most days I would just smile or maybe even like this picture. But with all that's happening in Israel these past few weeks I find it both infuriating and frustrating. Our country is now in turmoil regarding the LGBT members' rights to using surrogacy as a viable solution to becoming parents and on the other hand the new law defining Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish people while disregarding all others.

Looking at this picture one can see enormous hatred or total ignorance and a closer look shows a poster with the commandment Thou shalt not covet.

That may suggest an edited picture, but with my deep understanding of the religious sectors here I believe it is genuine. Because the sad truth is, there is one thing in common with most of our society, and that is ignorance, which of course goes both ways.

I choose to see ignorance and still hope there is a chance for change and that we're not taking the same road Europe took 70 years ago.

It's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new life for me... and I am feeling good

Wow, that was long, both the title and since the last time I posted anything. But a lot has changed in my life. After 7 months of some R&R of sea and sun I am back on the saddle working again (mixed feeling of course). Plus I moved into a new house and... Got a brand new electric scooter (my last one was stolen). So a lot is different and new, but still a lot is the same. I am still getting excited everytime I have a new presentation for a client, which is great. I guess that means I am still doing what I love (although what I love the most is the beach). I feel I have a chance again to influence people, both clients and end users with creative ideas and design. I believe that if you use these two, creative thinking and great design with respect and social responsibility it can actually improve the world. No, I don't see myself as a crusader all of a sudden, but I feel each of us can do something to better themselves and their surrounding, even when it's only advertising in my world and the only change it makes is a smile, that's fine by me.
