On Building Trust — The Greatest Misfortune Is Not to Be Unloved, But Not to Love
When I mention to someone that I’ve interviewed Rok Snežič, for a moment it seems as though they’re about to call security to have me thrown out of the building and slap me with a restraining order. “Rok never laid a finger on me. Our relationship was strictly professional,” I say, as part of a defense mechanism to try and prevent the worst. “I have no doubt that you could find out about all the relationships I’ve ever had if you wanted to—I’m not so deluded as to imagine that you couldn’t track all of them down. To the ends of the earth.
You Scratch My Back – On Healthy Egoism
I’m sitting in a tastefully furnished office, surrounded by a grey color scheme that I find strangely soothing. Grey isn’t a color I usually wear—it washes me out and hides my glow—but in this space, it works. It’s a color that suits the person sitting opposite me.

“You reap what you sow”, the words of my interlocutor echo in the darkness. The heavy mahogany furniture around me supports these words. At dusk, it seems to me that I see in my soul golden fields of wheat on which Anne, George, and Mary Boleyn play. And Anne, 30 years later, at the execution site in front of the Tower. Forever engraved in history as the most famous royal wife on the British peninsula. At the same time, a woman who paid her price.
Memento mori
The first interview has been released. I think we can all learn a lot from individuals like Janković. If nothing else, as he says himself, at least how to be better than others. Within a few weeks, everyone seemed replaceable. But decades show who was truly irreplaceable.
Intro
My joy. My passion. My dream. My zest. My purpose. My excitement. The first project in my life that is truly mine. One of the main reasons my heart has been beating so vividly, energetically and euphorically for the last 2 years. It is finally out. My official website called the Psychology of Winners. Part of a three-pillar project of a publication, a master's thesis and a website about leadership psychology.
