I’ve always been fascinated and reflecting about the peacefulness and the respect that emerges when watching some masters doing their professions.
So, I spent lately some years time observing and trying to see the world through their lenses and may be, and if I’m good enough, adopt their skills and get inspired to improve myself personally and professionally.
Brace yourself for rants, accidental wisdom, and random epiphanies on tech, life, and why âit dependsâ solves everything.
Stay curiousâor just stay confused. Either works!

Je me suis longuement accrochĂ© Ă l’idĂ©e de rester en Tunisie, de travailler au pays et d’y vivre pour le meilleur et pour le pire… Peut-ĂȘtre un sens de patriotisme ou d’attachement me poussait quelque part Ă faire le maximum pour mon pays. Et nous connaissons tous le matraquage des tentations, mais… je rĂ©sistais en me disant : “Il faut que je sois actif et que je sois l’une des briques qui (v)ont bĂąti(r) cette contrĂ©e.” (tiens, another brick in the wall, Pink Floyd) Mais le doute et l’Ă©puisement ne cessaient de planer…
