That's me in a McLaren...

It's been a terribly long time since I've last posted, because I am just too lazy...

All right, it's going to be the beginning of a whole new year again and I hope it will be a great year for me and all my loved ones...

Christmas has come and gone, and soon the New Year will too... And I have to say my favourite present this Christmas comes from my grandmother, although I chose it myself. Haha. Two books, consisting of 'Hitler' by Ian Kershaw and 'The Story of Tata Steel', essentially a book about a company. At this period of time, I have come to realise that I quite love reading, especially on succesful people and firms. I like to learn from them, even if it means just gaining one thing from a whole book. I also have a habit of buying 2 versions of the same person I am reading on. For example, I would get an autobiography of Richard Branson, but I would then also get a biography on him, so that I can read both sides of the story and compare it, and see what kind of a person he actually is. Same goes for Hitler. I bought Mein Kampf some time ago, and now I've got the biography on him. In case you don't know, an autobiography is a book written by the subject matter himself and a biography is a book written by someone else, from that person's point of view. So, autobiographies tend to be a little biased towards the subject matter.

I'm now currently reading on Michael O'Leary, who made Ryannair, the budget airline, successful, and I can't wait to finish in order to start on my next book. I went to HMV on Christmas eve and I saw a number of books that I want to get my hands on... So, on pay day.... Haha.


What a beauty eh?

Ok, till next time, Ciao!
