August 19th, 1839 was the day that photography was “officially” born, after the patent of the Daguerreotype (an early photography development procedure developed by Louis Daguerre) was acquired by the French government and given as a “gift to the world” during a presentation in the French Academy of Sciences. The complete and very interesting timeline is available here, or here and another one here.

Currently, the August 19th is used to celebrate the World Photography Day. I’m a little bit late but here’s my contribution.

 

The pen…

… is mightier than the sword!

The expression has it’s origin in the English theater play “Richelieu: Or the Conspiracy”written Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839.

I agree with it since I to use a pen daily and consider it the best way to engage with my working day. I don’t usually write “for pleasure” preferring the keyboard to take my personal stuff, but when it comes to work the pen is the best tool to have in hand. A pen and a little “blank-page” book are my basic tools when it comes to following up the daily work, especially when the days are passed in meetings. Rob me of my pen, my book or my mind-map diagram, and I’ll be lost for days…

I like to use an “all-in-one” multi-pen… black, blue, red and pencil always ready to take a note or schedule a new meeting.
