Human beings are walking into their worst environmental disaster. The climate is heating up. Oxygen levels are decreasing in the seas causing disastrous effects to flora and fauna. Rainforests, “the lungs of the Earth”, are being cut down and desertication is threatening our fields. Polar bears are drowning but even more worryingly, the melting of the arctic […]

Life as an Adventure
Some have asked me about my lifestyle and how did I make my life “as an adventure”. I’ve been travelling a lot all my life but lately I’ve made trips alone, more spontaneously and been working abroad. However, I think that adventuring is an attitude and it doesn’t necessarily require travelling. Backpacking can be one […]

(For those who aren’t familiar with WordPress, WordPress.org is self-hosted and therefore more advanced than WordPress.com.) I’ve changed the name of my blog from The Beauty of Brains to Nomadic Living […]

Learnings from the “Terrorist” – Book Review: Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela

Yrityksen tavoite on tuottaa hyvää
“Yrityksen tavoite on tuottaa voittoa“, kuuluu taloustieteen ikivanha mantra. Tämä tavoite on jopa osakeyhtiöiden osalta kirjattuna osakeyhtiölakiin: “Yhtiön toiminnan tarkoituksena on tuottaa voittoa osakkeenomistajille, jollei yhtiöjärjestyksessä määrätä toisin.” En onneksi ole ainoa kauppislainen, joka on säpsähtänyt lauseen kohdalla. Kirjan Taivas ja helvetti tarinassa Jari Saravuo kertoo kuinka alkoi väitellä asiasta professorin kanssa yliopiston taloustieteen oppitunnilla. Koko voiton […]
