When did he start? Last year! What is his goal? To become faster.

He always find a way to run his life.

Edit: The whole thing is a project of Bojana Novaković (Bojana=Yana, Novaković=Novak). Fantastic lesson for me and my perceptions and predictions. And finally lot of smiling. Great!!!

People like to share “funny/interesting” stuff on FB. I just got Yana Novak on my feed. Yana is a serbian girl, with a huge aspiration to become a Hollywood superstar. On her FB info she writes about her profession: “adult entertainer of the high quality service and ability”.

All human beings should live a life of dignity.

I am truly and deeply disturbed by these videos. With a bit of education on psyhology I just asked myself:  what kind of childhood has this young woman had?

If you could picture sadness… What would it look like?

People react in a few ways:

• they find this story funny
• they judge (like “God kill her”, “You are stupid”) and throw in some hard words (bitch…)
• they make fun and try to be cynic, trying to prove that they are better
• they have a transfer of emberassment and shame

Of course comments and reactions of mass are more tragical. But you can’t expect anything different from a group of people.

So I am asking myself: Why do I have a problem with this?

Maybe just because I see that Yana finds joy and satisfaction in all this comments and reactions. They reinforce everything she actually believes about herself, her deep feeling of inadequacy, not being enough smart or beautiful, having low feeling of selfworth. The comments give her security and assure her that what she thinks about herself is true. She can’t escape her destiny.

Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it’s easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you’re the only one…who didn’t run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in “the long run”
Or as in having given someone a “run for his money”
Or as in “running out of time”
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will ever be cause for tha
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you’re going to see me run soon and because you’re going to know why I’m running then
You’ll know then
Because I’m not going to tell you now

I like to work with peers. Specially when we have some common ground, such is an internship experiences on Fond Dr Zoran Đinđić. I had a 2 hours workshop on motivation and success where people had very nice insights… Here are some feedbacks:

#1 Utisci su najbolji mogući. Meni je posebno značilo što sam se otvorio i diskutovao o nekim ličnim stvarima pred nepoznatim ljudima. Tvoj rad je odličan, dobro vodiš radionicu, a najveće oduševljenje je vezano za to što svakome posvetiš podjednaku pažnju i što aktivno slušaš i tražiš da on/ona diskutuje o temi i navedeš njega/nju da promisli i dođe do novog, boljeg cilja ili otkrije nove stvari koje treba da menja i sl.

#2 Već sam rekla, da je bilo odlično osmišljeno, zabavno i pre svega korisno, jer sam uspela da se malo izolujem od tempa života koji je katastrofalan, da malo stanem i razmislim o nekim željama i ciljevima. Nadam se da će biti još zanimljivih ideja i jako mi se sviđa ono čime se baviš i pristup koji imaš sa ljudima!

What drives me these days is not knowledge or skills… its the pure energy and belive.

This is so short, but so effective message for you guys. Be free to scream at your home :)
