Who's spending the most time at work?

 Here is an interesting infographic that might change the way you look at your fellow European workers. Spanish and Italian employees seem to spend more time at work than German or British workers. Greeks (not represented here) work in average 2,032 hours annually. Of course, it doesn't say anything about the ever more important need for jobs all across Europe... That's were the real priority lies! 

Can you guess?

One of my most favourite poems ever.


"If" by Rudyard Kipling















If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
