Finally stepping into 'the real world'

Well, I can't believe that it is almost 2 years since I graduated from Uni. So that's me saying bye to 20 years of education and saying hi to the many years of working life.  Well, why 20 years?

The start of a new beginning

What is a start?  What is a good start? What is a beginning?  Well, everything is not as simple as how you see it. There are many ways that you can look into this matter.
