Why does the start of the new year carry such special symbolism? And why is its celebration so common around the world, as it has been for at least as long as there have been calendars? Behavior this ubiquitous must surely be tied to something intrinsic in the human animal, something profoundly meaningful and important, given all the energy and resources we invest not just in the celebration but also in our efforts to make good on a fresh set of resolutions, even though we mostly fail to keep them. It may be that the symbolism we attach to this moment is rooted in one of the most powerful motivations of all: ourย motivationย to survive. (source: David Ropeik)
Have a safe transition to the new year ๐

Ik schreef al eerder over deze inspirerende Nyenrode prof, lees hier, een vrijmoedige spreker die one liners bezigt als: โFuck the rulesโ en โlef en leuk horen bij elkaarโ of โzonder bluf is het leven dufโ.
