Look up not down

 It's been a busy day!

I interviewed His Excellency,  Mr. Claude Wild, the Ambassador of Switzerland to Ukraine for the Maariv newspaper on zoom. I shared with him that my gtandparents, one from Holland, the other from Germany, met during World War II in Switzerland.

I then interviewed one of the heads of the Jewish Fedaration in Ukraine and now I'm at university online, studying while answering messages on whatsapp etc.

I went through my unread messages on Gmail earlier, over 16,000 unread messages! My whatsapp is just as bad!

One of my favourate things to do before a flight is to mark all messages as read and as the plane lands, open my phone to have hundreds of messages coming in.

Today, I was a little disappointed. A close friend of mine is getting married at the end of August in Israel and I wanted to go. But flights are so expensive, I just can't afford it

The disappointment is hard, but I take solace in the fact that I am working hard.

While I can't afford the flight, and I don't earn much, the fact that I correspond with ministers, leaders and influencers, the fact that people know and appreciate me, means more to me then money.

After my blog this week about the Virgin Atlantic point system, their press team told me they loved it!

So yes, I can't afford the flight (and if anyone wants to sponser my trip, hit me up), but I am known and I can contribute to society and that is the main thing.

In the words of the famous Monty Python

"Always look at the bright side of life,"

 at the full part of the cup.

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
