LIVING IN AN ISLAND FOR 15 YEARS: I can’t complain. My job was exactly as planned and even better. Thank God for that because my planning turned out to be lousy. It resulted poorly informed and it tended to overrate most of the accessories. So, I‘ve been working on this Island for fifteen years now. I love the place, I love the job, I love to make things differently and l love to be respectful with the environment. But, This is a rural, rather virgin island we are talking about. You can’t find a SPA hotel here; you can’t even find streets, electrical or water supplies. You don’t have TV or air conditioning. All you can find here is mangroves, a thousand of flying species like stilths, flamingos and mosquitos, a lot of crustaceans and moluscs and houndreds of thousands stars at night. And I have to admit that after the first ten years I started to feel (how can I put it) a little bit bored. That was the time when I learned my second lesson in life: be careful with what you dream because it might become true. Ten years ago I realized that I wanted to keep my job; so, I decided to learn how to bear boredom instead. And that’s the time when I learned my third important life lesson: when properly managed boredom turned out to be very productive.
