Little reflection on the plane [2007 05 04]

Heading back to Vilnius, where sweetheart and home is awaiting.
This short trip to Zadar, Croatia somehow brought me to some thoughts...

I ran one day activity for/with a group of youngsters from organization called ACTIVE, what makes them different from other organizations – they fight for a healthy lifestyle and against smoking, alcohol and drugs. Very nice mission… and very tough one.

But when you look at their young smiling faces its makes you believe that it is achievable, when you see how much fun they manage to have during the day and afternoon sessions… and even if some are bit tired in the morning it has nothing to do with the alcohol night before. Nice.

Another reflection is about our changed and globalized world. Does it makes sense to travel half of the day (getting to Vilnius airport – Frankfurt – Zagreb airport – Zagreb bus station – Zadar bus station – 1 hour walk) for one day training? Well, but does it makes sense to wait in the traffic jams 1 hour on the way to the office and another hour on the way back? In 5 working days it accumulates to 10 hour which almost equals to the time needed to get to the other side of Europe, if not Globe.

I am happy to have made this trip. I got inspired by these youngsters, got to see beautiful Adriatic cost and even managed to get some sun kisses on my cheeks. Life is beautiful as long as we manage to celebrate life!
