TRUST IN OTHERS...

TRUST IN OTHERS... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Trust is influenced by the culture of a country and it is said that people in countries under dictatorship do not trust anyone. Initially, all strangers are dangerous! 

On the contrary, in democratic countries, the tendency is to trust until proven otherwise. 

Personally, by my nature, a stranger has to prove to me that he is good, because at the beginning I consider him as a danger! The events in Idaho just proved to me that I have excellent survival skills...

Who would have thought that a university student in criminology would also be a violent and ruthless killer? 

To see life in pink is often audacious, because who can claim to know his neighbor... 

Happy New Year 2022 and above all, be careful!

2022 YEAR-END MEETING -

2022 YEAR-END MEETING - 
By Bernard Bujold -
One could describe the meeting at the restaurant at the end of December 2022 as the meeting of a new retiree version 2022 with an old retiree since 2010! 
Both have been around Quebec Inc. for their entire careers... 
With retirement, the three questions are whether we have succeeded in our life, if so why, and what is next? 
The answer to the first question is always very personal, because it depends on our life values. I have always said that I had an exciting career, but that 90% of what I did was a waste of time, especially the social events and cocktail parties... In retirement, the equation is reversed, because we know what will or will not be a waste of time! 
The answer to the second question is more universal, because the success or failure of a life is a matter of total luck! No one is ever a genius in his field, but it is timing and luck that determine the outcome. I have been around the whole of Quebec from the 1970's to the 2010's, and I have never met a genius, only lucky people! 
The answer to the third question is inescapable: what to do with the rest of our lives? The answer is also the most important of the three questions. We can't be wrong about our answer, because there will be no fourth question... 
Happy Year-end 2022!

YEAR-END DREAMS 2022…

YEAR-END DREAMS 2022… 
By Bernard Bujold -
I dreamed last night, last week of December 2022, that I was back in the good old days with Brian Mulroney and that I was once again on a strategic mission! Brian had lost none of his ardor and I was in great shape with my political plans. 

The dreams of my sleep have always fascinated me because they are like a movie, but which we have not chosen to watch. A kind of gift from the sleep and the night...

YEAR IN REVIEW 2022 -

YEAR IN REVIEW 2022 - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Life is a journey and we are like pebbles, or a rock, on a beach. Our destiny is a matter of chance and, if our size determines our space on the beach of life, we will remain in the end only a rock facing the ocean. 
We can conclude that the year 2022 will have been a kind of rebirth for all, whereas since 2020 it was like the end of the world! 
If all times are uncertain, we can say that the current one is historical, because to live a planetary pandemic and a third world war is unique! 
What does the future hold for 2023 and beyond? 
The important thing will be to survive the wave of fate! 
Let's wish each other the best, including peace, love and health! 
Have a great last week of the year 2022 that is ending!

THE ELVES AND SANTA...

 THE ELVES AND SANTA... 
By Bernard Bujold- 
The good Santa picked up his three elves to bring them back to the North Pole last night on Christmas Eve at midnight! He took the opportunity to bring a wonderful gift to Ulysses and me, each a cap TRUMP 2024 with a silver dollar marked Donald Trump. 
We offered the traditional glass of milk to Santa and, to him and his three Elves, chocolate cookies. 
Merry Christmas 2022 to all!

SANTA'S ELVES AND THE JOY OF SOLITUDE -

SANTA'S ELVES AND THE JOY OF SOLITUDE - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Loneliness can be a great happiness, but one must discover it and be comfortable with oneself. If we have not tamed solitude, it is a predatory and deadly monster! 
Personally, I love the solitude of a church before the celebrations; or being alone in a museum in front of my favorite works of art! But my ultimate happiness is to work out alone in the gym with the only sound being the sliding of the machines I use. For me, the big fear is groups and social events! 
The Elves also enjoy solitude... 
To love solitude it's like faith. It's all in the mind... 
Happy Holidays 2022!

SANTA'S ELVES AT THE CHURCH -

SANTA'S ELVES AT THE CHURCH - 

By Bernard Bujold - 

Every year the three Elves take advantage of their presence in town for a must-see visit to the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral! The Elves love to look at the crib and the decorated church and enjoy the quietness of the place while thinking about the mystery of Christmas!
