9 years old, but still one of the best articles ever:

“As I celebrated 12 years sober last month, I reflected deeply on all I have to be grateful for. So much. An amazing marriage and incredible children. My sobriety and health. My passion for life and what I feel is a rebirth and calling in pursuing endurance sports and a path as a wellness advocate. In truth, everything in my life is a bonus. Like I said, by all accounts I should be dead. So I try to perceive everything in my life — including my challenges — as just bonus time.”(Link)

Ever tried a diet and it didn't work. Here is why:

“In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.” One of the best books I’ve read this year.

Quote of the week

Warren Buffett once said that as an investor, it is wise to be “Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” This statement is somewhat of a contrarian view on stock markets and relates directly to the price of an asset: when others are greedy, prices typically boil over, and one should be cautious lest they overpay for an asset that subsequently leads to anemic returns.

P.S.

Maybe you realized these symbols? I designed them myself. The one with the Soup is like a Starter Blog article, which comes out mostly Mondays and will include motivational or private topics.

The one with the grilled chicken is the Main Blogpost (I guess every two weeks) which will have well researched, hospitality relevant topics.

And last but not least the Cake/Dessert Posting which will be the cherry on the top of every week.This will include postings like this Linkdump or a new video from my Youtube Channel. I am still experimenting with the concept. Let me know what you think, please.

… and hey, before you go. Please kindly subscribe to my Social Media Pages, it helps with visibility. But most important share the message with your friends who may benefit from it.
