Die beiden altgedienten wackeren Gallier Asterix und Obelix folgen diesmal einem Hilferuf aus Lusitanien, dem heutigen Portugal. Es geht also – wie so oft – auf Reise, und am Weg wird das obligate Pira" Read more of this review » |

“We have started the journey- no turning back now. Three steps lie between us and the goal:
(1) Know who you are.
(2) Know what you need.
(3) Get it.
These steps need to be taken in sequence. I cannot know what I need before I know who I am. I cannot go after what I need before I know what I need.”

“Violence is what people do when they run out of good ideas. It's attractive because it's simple, it's direct, it's almost always available as an option. When you can't think of a good rebuttal for your opponent's argument, you can always punch them in the face.”

“The important thing is not so much to read fast, as to read each book at the speed it deserves. It is as regrettable to spend too much time on some books as it is to read others too quickly. There are books you know well, just from flicking through them, others you only grasp at second or third reading, and others again which will last you a lifetime.”

Thanks Igor! Writing it was a joy but creating a buzz for it is hard work! I think I may have to take lessons from you - your list of publications has grown impressively. Kudos.
