I can’t even count how many times I have visited Barcelona. This doesn’t change the fact that every visit gives me a similar thrill and a fresh, exciting experience, just as if I were discovering it for the very first time. Of course, I came here to attend MWC Barcelona 2019 (as I have been […]
On my flight to Tokyo last year, headed for the 2017 Global Summit of Women, I mulled over the words of Władysław Bartoszewski, [a Polish politician, social activist, journalist, writer and historian,] which I ended up quoting in my speech. English was of course the common language at this international gathering. Conveniently for me, these […]
I love to go back to the places I know. Am I sentimental? Maybe as part of such sentimental journeys I have changed the middle of winter into a blossom-strewn spring. So don’t be too surprised by my euphoric joy. It is true that winter this year has spared us the worst, but I have […]

A Chinese philosopher who was immortalized in the annals of history as Confucius said that you only had to find something you liked doing in order to spend the rest of your life without a day’s work. Although two and a half thousand years have passed since, his words have stood the test of time. […]
