Retrospectively, I can connect the dots that formed the path to the man I am today.

User Happiness should be more than a goal: it must be an obsession.

We often are afraid of sharing our ideas because we fear someone may steal it. But in reality, others don't care about our ideas.

2016 was the year I bounced back. 2017 will be the year I take off again.

Decisions are a quintessential part of our daily life, but making them seem to scare most of us. What if we embraced the process as practice to agility, empathy and boldness?

Last week in Yaoundé was a real opportunity to see how we, the Android Generation, can leverage every bit of institutional window we're offered. It was also a pleasant diving into the highs of the power of our beautiful Cameroon.

I left London 4 months for what I planned to be a field exploration in Cameroon. I did not know what to expect, so booked a one-way flight ticket... It turned out be the right call, as I am now settling down in Douala, my hometown. Welcome back home!

Two years ago, my in-laws visited us in London from Paris for my mother-in-law's Birthday. My 7-year-old niece asked me: “Uncle, where do you work?”. “From home”, I said. She then replied quite energetically: “This is not real work! You have no office and no colleagues”. My in-laws first laughed, but then a discomforting silence crept in: my niece had just said out loud what everyone was already thinking.

Le Petit Cambodge was one of the theatres of the recent macabre Paris attacks. I got my first flat literally a short walk away when I moved to Paris, and used to go to that restaurant sometimes. I have to admit that I really am surprised by how deeply affected I am by what happened. 

I am part of the Generation Y, the so-called millennials, the generation that grew up with the beginning of globalisation and the fresh wave of a post cold war urban culture. Like many Gen-Y urban dwellers, I aspire to live my dreams, achieve something greater than myself. 

I have been traveling regularly to Paris since I moved to London 2.5 years ago. I rely almost exclusively on buses to move around London, much less in Paris where I often use ride sharing. I took the bus yesterday in Paris, and it reminded me how differently Parisians and Londoners behave in public transportation.

I was truly blessed to get so many birthday wishes 2 days ago. Really. Having so many of you thinking about me is such a grace, and I don't know how to thank you enough.

“L’enfer n’a de fureur qu’une femme bafouée’'. Et l’ex-première compagne de France nous l'a démontré avec une spectacle d'une extraordinaire pauvreté. Il eut été si bon qu’elle s’inspirât de cette illustre ainée qu’est Anne Sinclair! Elle aurait appris qu’une femme bafouée peut rester digne dans la douleur et éviter le piège de la gaminerie populaire.

In a recent episode of TWIST, my favourite entrepreneurship podcast, Tristan Walker mentioned the three-third rule: 1/3 learning, 1/3 earning, 1/3 giving. He added that a common mistake is trying to give before having earned enough. A great echo to Muster Suster's question about whether it was time for one to earn or learn.

2014 was my toughest and best year so far on a personal level. I really got to push myself to the edge and know myself much better. Now a month into 2015, from the lessons I got from last year, here are 5 things I commit to do more.

"La révolte des patrons”. “Les patrons grognent”. Une série interminable de phrases avec ce fameux mot de “patrons”. Comme un Dirty word a l’américaine. Le mal français est bien installé: toute la construction du discours médiatico-économique tourne autour de la lutte des classes. Une malheureuse tendance française à la division et l’opposition plutôt qu’au rassemblement et l’apaisement. Et si on disait STOP aux amalgames?

I am the founder of Sincuru, a London-based subscription service that ships weekly bags of recovered produce right to your door. I reflected back on the last 6 months and, if just one lesson learned, it’s definitely how my lack of courage has put the company in hazard. Learned it the hard way!
