If no one hates it, no one loves it

Another handy tip she mentions, which is a bit more difficult to implement but no less important, is: recognize your warning signs . What small behavioral changes can you recognize in yourself that indicate that your work may be too much, that you are losing focus? This can vary from an increased coffee intake to isolating yourself with your headphones on, or eating your lunch behind the computer. Recognize your signals and be aware of them!
3. Relax, relax, relax
At the Green Room, everyone is standing with their eyes closed and I hear Wouter Dirks counting. They are doing a meditation exercise in which every breath is counted for one minute – or so I hear. “Meditation is a fantastic way to be more aware, to live more in the moment (just like a skydive, says Dirks). And even 1 minute can bring a lot of good.”
What is interesting about his talk is that he knows how to take everyone along, through a good dose of empathy and realism. For example, he has a challenge for everyone who recognizes themselves in the following: "If you think that you are already living consciously and are in the moment, or do not need it...". Try the test: go through every door with your right foot first for one day. This should promote being consciously in life. It sounds easy, but according to Dirks it is not. I quote 'It is almost impossible'. Who dares to take on the challenge?

Erik Kessels , of the well-known KesselsKramer, knows how to captivate the audience like no other. In addition to fantastic one-liners, he also knows how to quickly and clearly convey important lessons. What sticks most: if no one hates it, no one likes it. Now that is a lesson that we know in different words and that was not invented by Kessels himself, but that does not make it less correct and no less powerful to hear.
One of his projects that follows this line well is the 13th of his Useful Photography series, in which he has collected two thousand (public) photos of penises. In his ' day in the life of Dick ' you see them cambodia telegram data at different times, locations and in different poses. A unique and extremely entertaining project.
Another example? How they marketed their first customer, a budget hotel in Amsterdam, as the worst hotel ever. With slogans like ' Now, a bed in every room ' and ' Same hotel, lots of new complaints ' or the great stunt of complimentary -items that you can cut out, truly a love it- or hate it- project. Also funny: now there are guests who go there for the 'worst hotel experience' and actually find it too good (and then complain about it again...).

5. Change yourself, not the other
At work, in family, friends or our partner: there is often something we would like to change. But, according to Tibetan monk Tulku Lobsang, that is not very useful: you have to change yourself. You can try to change the world, but if you do not change yourself, it is pointless. The magic is within yourself and that makes us as humanity so special. Changing others does not make us happier, changing ourselves does.
