The person I reblogged this from is someone I enjoy seeing on my dashboard.

Next time someone demands an honest answer to the question

Where do you see yourself five years from now?

Show them this true story.

And if they ask for just some answer, dream up whatever you like. This story liberates you to do just that too.

Unpredictable journey of a garden snail… and of us all

It occurs to me that all journeys through life are twisted and not possible to predict.🐌

The same applies to your journey through career and studies. Whatever you choose to study at the age of 18 and whatever your idea of your future emplyment might be, it will almost for sure be wastly different from what your vision will be at 25 and what you will actually do at 30.

At 20 I started university studies of Physics to become a meteorologist. I wanted to work as a weather forecaster. In the Czech Republic. It never occurred to me that I might become a scientist! It never occurred to me that I might live abroad from my home country.

And now? I am 32, I have a PhD in Biophysics and Chemical Physics, I have won three personal grants or prizes for my research, and now I work on topics, which are going to be published in journals like Nature Materials, Nature Methods, and even Nature itself. I moved to the Netherlands almost 3 years ago and I am happy here.

I mean… who could have predicted or planned that?

Of Pétanque and life

Some may find it very plain

just a few balls on sand

but some find deeper sense

in playing this ball game,

Pétanque.

...

Rule number one;

there is the target, we call it Jack.

Then you "just do your best"

and aim at it well—our first lifehack!

...

As second,

there is no time limit

but a limited lifetime

So don't be timid

and shoot!

...

Thirdly,

there's nothing wrong

in keeping your own pace

(life's not a race)

but don't hesitate too long

not to lose focus on your aims

(and Jack!)

...

And then just keep on going,

throw, throw, throw

and don't give up throwing

yet some balls may miss,

as that's what it's all about;

you need not to be the best thrower

to have fun and find bliss

in the game,

in life,

before it's game over.

Everyone has won in a lottery!

Winning the lottery

Most of the problems that disturb us are of our own creation. This is why it is so essential that we learn to establish peace of mind. It’s evident that being in a state of constant anger and fear destroy any sense of inner peace, while cultivating compassion and concern for others reduces these destructive emotions. Better to be altruistic and think of your neighbours as brothers and sisters.

A stray ray of enlightMonet

... as taken on my phone's pinhole camera and processed through my memories from that moment. Digital pen in my hands turned it into an "oil in silico" photoart.

Solar eclipse

What a lucky coincidence, that we are having beautiful sunny days in Groningen at the very day there is a solar eclipse to observe!

For chemists – does it also remind you the ball-n-stick drawing of a water molecule from a side point of view? 😁

Cloudy air

It was a great day,

invigorating and refreshing,

biking in a slight breeze,

thinking about life

with you.

Forever with you.

Sky is the limit

You walk on a bridge over canal,

you look up, you look down

clearly seeing that

sky is the limit

both up and down.
