“There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting.
A man is walking down the street. At a certain moment, he tries to recall something, but the recollection escapes him. Automatically, he slows down.
Meanwhile, a person who wants to forget a disagreeable incident he has just lived through starts unconsciously to speed ... See more

Lastly, because I'm in this emailing you mode right now -- I was working in a banana plantation yesterday out of sheer fun/curiosity before I become a working professional next week. While there, my friend and I were chatting with the ray of light man who runs the production and who was imparting his incredible banana knowledge on us. At one p

A quote worth repeating: “We are a landscape of all we have seen.” This quote by the Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is a reminder that each and every one of us is an extension of the places we’ve been to, the people we’ve known, the conversations we’ve had, the hardships we’ve endured, the ‘wins’ we’ve celebrated, the food we’ve

Six Mindsets for Successful Co-Creation
I am a dreamer. I’ve always believed if you can dream, anything is possible. It was my parents who taught me this, and they were right. Now, I want to share this magic with the world… : My parents left Nigeria in the 1980s and moved to London to start a family. Their dream was to bring children into a world where they believed they could achieve anything. And now, here I am living out my dream, spreading love, joy and stories through my work. : Writing this, I’ve thought about how powerful the concept of ‘belief’ is. When someone truly believes in you, and you believe in yourself, that’s when incredible things happen. Belief is the greatest gift I could have ever received, and it’s what I want to pass along to others. : Everyone has the innate power to dream. Dreams are infinite. No matter where life takes you, they lie with you forever. Dreams start with a vision, they’re nurtured with belief, and are harvested through dedication and passion. We’re like farmers, we plant seeds, water them, and watch them grow. If you take one thing away from reading this issue, it is to realise a world with no limitations. What would your dreams be? I encourage you to envision them, write them down, draw them, and not to be afraid to act on them. Start somewhere. Because when you dream, you create, and when you create, you have the power to change the world. : There’s nothing more inspiring than seeing the people you love achieve their dreams. Wale Adeyemi is a particularly perfect example of this. He is a friend, big brother and mentor. I’ve felt so inspired watching his journey which is now in full bloom, and I’m so honoured to share it with you here. I hope you enjoy this issue. I want to thank you for reading it, and to everyone who has contributed. Thank you to my parents, I wouldn’t be writing this without your unwavering love, support and belief in me. Lastly, I want to thank my incredible team and everyone at HTSI, for this incredible opportunity to be part of something so meaningful. . Keep dreaming! : Grab your copy tomorrow ❤️❤️❤️ : 📷 the legend @nikkmartin

The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds , that each of them is ;
What Marcel Proust Really Said about Seeing with New Eyes
"We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past."
