Why social network Ecademy works…

29 09 2008

I have tears in my eyes. What an amazing post by our new friend Tina.

This is pure example, why Ecademy works and why Slovenian people should be proud of our country. As well as proof that being internationalize is something really cool.

Once again Tina, mange tak

Ecademy Events : I feel S LOVE enia

by Tina Jonasen #6BlackStar on 29-Sep-08 2:20pm

I really DO…………

I am not even sure how long time I have known Andreja Lajh online - or how we met for that matter (but I´m beginning to think that it must have been “faith” wink

She is simply such a fantastic woman and super networker, that I couldn’t not resist going to the No Limits Network Meeting in Ljubljana/Slovenia when she invited me !

I had never been to Slovenia before - but I can tell you that I WILL SURELY GO AGAIN !!!

Andreja is organising another No Limits Network Meeting, which I already signed up for - but I have a feeling that I will be back before that wink

As said in another blog, and in total agreement with another member that I met there for the first time; Freddy Daems



Everything comes to an end

6 12 2007

It is over. I am still sitting in my room of Shloss Leopoldskron, just come from a famous Bierstube and I will need to pack my things… At 8.15 I need to catch my taxi, which will take me to the train station together with Dana from Canada and Sayed from Afghanistan.

Salzburg Seminar was amazing again, to be honest few first day I was a bit sceptical but at the end I can say that is was pure happy end.

The most important in my opinion is that I met about 50 incredible people, with whom I will try to stay in touch (they think I will not, but I bet that I willl) and put head together on making progress to a better tomorrow.

Guys, you are just amazing, I will miss football and table tennis, your clever talks and brilliant ideas. Thank you for all invitations, I hope we will do them with Monika till 2030.

You know, I am still young, being proud and honored that the title of the YOUNGEST EVER at Salzburg Seminar did no go to Thailand:)

Keep dancing Austrian Waltz, but do not forget to Rock and roll!



This is life…

3 12 2007

I love international environments. Salzburg Seminar is for sure one of amazing place to be.

I have a nice double room with small office in the castle, where they serve a good food. I speak sometimes with people, who hate hotels, travellings and packing. I am not. Specially if I am meeting interesting, open minded people.

To speak about US elections during lunch, sitting in the nicest library in the world and exchange ideas about Macedonian stock market, listen to climate change issues, plan visits around the world during talks, including educational ship, which goes around the world, riding horses in Argentina and hunting salmon in Canada… that is what I call great life.

This are international relations, networking, seeing issues (like the situation in Pakistan) from people at the field. Pure satisfaction.

The only person I am missing is my Monika, although she believes it is good sometimes that we travel not together. I do not agree so in future I am planning that we will travel together, specially if my plans will follow the flow, which is developing now, that I will probably work a lot in international areas.



I am back to Salzburg Seminar

2 12 2007

Just arrived today. I applied and I was chosen. It is nice to be back to Salzburg Seminar. The venue is breathtaking.

I am attending the seminar on Scenario 2030, amazing people and great topic.

When I entered today to library (hopefully to have such one day…:) )

all my memories were called back. Salzburg Seminar Session 413, I remember all of you… We were amazing group and I promised today to my self I will figure somehow system that I my international family will be more updated about me and that we could cooperate closely.

Once again, it is always nice to visit good friends as well as being back to places which are full of amazing memories.



Egypt

20 10 2007

Finally. It looks like Sofitel in the only place in Egypt to get internet. Not true, I could go to internet cafe, but I prefer to use my laptop in hotel room.

It was great experience, a lot to learn from, met some incredible people, but to be honest - I will be really happy when I will glad my dearest Monika on airport. Only 5 hours to transfer me from Luxor to Hurgada and then see you Joze Pucnik.

I am really proud also to say publicly that we are celebrating 2 years being together with Monika. She is amazing, always supportive, not only beautiful and smart but also very warm and charming. I love her even more after two years and that is what I am most proud of.

Sorry not being with you today… You know, sweetheart…

Prenova bloga

1 10 2007

Končno. Nekaj podrobnosti še manjka, konec koncev se ni nič drastično spremenilo.

Malo bolj sem razdelal teme, tiste označene z * so teme pisanja, tiste z - so osebne, kjer ni predznaka so različni projekti.

Enkrat tedensko bom skušal podati uporaben nasvet (Moj nasvet), enkrat tedensko vas bom prosil za pomoč HELP, enkrat tedensko bom koga pohvalil in če bo po sreči, enkrat tedensko dal kaj za misliti. Ostalo bo objavljeno po občutku, ne bi se rad preveč omejeval.
Nisem še discipliniran dovolj, da bi napisal kaj bo kateri dan, ampak napredek je viden.

Začnem ne jutri, temveč danes:)

I will also write more posts in English (specially those, who can be interesting and are not local) as I am having more and more people from other countires as well as my international friends are saying it would be great if some articles could be in English. My English is far from perfect, but only with a lot of practise it will be perfect:)

On Twiter, you will be able to read what happened during my day.
