Symphony wrote that he was 63 on paper, but depending on the situation, sometimes felt 37, 25, or even 104. He also claimed that he could suddenly take on the age of 14 again out of anger. According to Symphony, someone carries all previous versions of themselves: from the amazed child and the love-struck boy to the older person who knew how precious time was. A song from the 80s could bring that person back to the summer when they were 17, with friends in a field and the feeling that the future was still endlessly far away. Symphony wrote that the boy had never completely disappeared and that getting older might mean carrying more and more lives with you. An old song could make that person feel 17 again, if only for three minutes — but now with the realization of how special that time was. #ouderworden #herinneringen #tijd (translated)
"If you do not lay the first brick at some point, you can gladly discuss the roof structure: it will do no good - and what we are doing here now is the foundation. 'With the 'Infraplan', we are looking at renovation, digitization, new construction, and expansion much more collaboratively than before,' said Lange." #Infrastruktur #Bahn #Infraplan (translated)
Jurgen Vluijmans wrote that he had read comments on articles about entrepreneurship and corporations. The familiar arguments stood out to him less than what he described as the strongly negative sentiment towards entrepreneurs in Belgium among people who do not run their own businesses. He stated that this was an observation, not a value judgment, and that the attitude shocked him because it was, in his opinion, much worse than he had expected. #ondernemen #Belgium #sentiment (translated)
Max von Kreyfelt criticized Cora van Nieuwenhuizen's transition from the ministry to Energy-Nederland. He wrote that Van Nieuwenhuizen was appointed as chair of the industry association on August 31, 2021, and that same day she resigned as a minister. She started working for the organization on October 1. According to Von Kreyfelt, Van Nieuwenhuizen had already informed Prime Minister Mark Rutte on July 23 that she would be nominated, but she remained a minister until the end of August. He wrote that Rutte later acknowledged that government officials had access to cabinet documents and could possibly gain information about the area of their future positions. On August 26, Rutte concluded, according to Von Kreyfelt, that the appointment did not go well with the ministry. Arrangements were made to transfer files that could affect her new position to a colleague if necessary. Von Kreyfelt also reported that Energy-Nederland praised her managerial experience in the Netherlands and Europe. He stated that the transition raised questions about the closeness of public positions and private interests, but wrote that the matter in itself did not prove corruption. He advocated for independent assessment of subsequent positions, more transparency regarding contacts, and a mandatory waiting period before former government officials began working in a sector organization. According to him, public experience should not automatically grant access to private influence. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #Energie #Overheid #Transitie (translated)
