It’s hard to see yourself as a writer when you have literary heroes who seem as high as the stars – for me as a Hungarian: Petöfi, Madách, Wass Albert …the list goes on.
But while working on English versions of some of my songs, I was told that some of my lyrics should rather be considered as poetry. This gave me the confidence to dig out some of the poems I had kept hidden since my youth and start working on them again. I love the grandeur of words, and the way that an idea can be shaped and distilled and then reshaped again, almost like a Rubik’s cube for the imagination.
I often hear that the youth of this generation has an enormous potential.
Most people have the priviledge to appreciate the proximity of their parents.
Dezső Kosztolányi had collected the list of the subjectively most beautiful words for the first time.
This morning, before I went cycling I was thinking about all the things that I face.
These days, we slow down and rest more than we usually do.
In one of my previous writings, I have revealed my doubts about my closest friends’ honest intention. I can not be sure whether they love me for who I am, or they just want to take advantage of me.
The world faces with crucial revolutions. Everywhere and every day.
These days, people frequently ask me about these questions: “ Isn’t it hard to make friends, well-known for being a powerful and successful businessman?” and “How can I know that someone loves me the way I am, simply for my character, and not because of my possessions?”
According to one of the ancient thinkers: “ If someone has nothing worth taking some risks for, then it is not about the circumstances, but about that person.” I completely agree with that.
We all need to detoxicate ourselves by forgiving us and others.
There is a place which can be seen as your home - no matter how far you are from it.
Democracy is still highly-debated after all those historical eras. Is it as it is supposed to be? No, I don’t think so.

I knew a boy who wanted to become a parachutist.
...They had a long-term and adventurous relationship together starting when they were still juvenile through every significant moment of their lives.
Regardless we do it on purpose or not, in our minds, we always categorize people.
I consider myself to be a bold man with a life accompanied by some phobias. Does it make me a weak person? No. Does it shorten my opportunities? Definitely!

I’ve always been afraid of flying. For this reason, I drive long distances for business meetings and holidays. I’ve driven to England, Spain, and up and down Italy. I’ve motored across Germany more times than I can remember. For short breaks I often visit Venice and Vienna, both of which are not too far from my native Hungary.
For me, the first image of summer that comes to mind is just beautiful fields of purple lavender. Every year in June, I pay a visit to the annual lavender festival at Tihany. It’s a beautiful spot on Lake Balaton in Hungary; a pretty church sits on top of a natural promontory overlooking the lake and the lower slopes are laid out with row upon row of beautiful purple lavender. The elevated position means there is a gentle breeze that, together with the warm sunshine, helps to carry the sublime fragrance to one’s nostrils. It’s often said that smell is the most powerful trigger for memories so perhaps that’s why the memory is especially vivid.
I admire everyone who has chosen lifelong learning

Blessed are they who notice the life in a grain of wheat, for they not only look but see.

A few days ago, I received a message from a lady asking my opinion about how she could show more appreciation for the things she has. Her message was quite thought-provoking since I myself experience it quite often how easy it is to treat things and people surrounding us as self-evident.
There is one thing what connects every single person on earth - mother. Today, on the occasion of Mother's Day, we honor and say thanks to the women who sacrificed a certain part of their life for us, for their children.
Today, she can unlock a smart phone, open and close her favorite apps and fly around the world by an airpline - things which I'm not capable of...
Q: How do you teach a child what tax is? A: Ask for 27% of their ice cream! Although not in such a blunt way, I always tried to raise my kids so they had a knowledge of how things work everyday in the real world. It amazes me that schools teach trigonometry when only a fraction of the population will ever need to use it and yet there are no lessons about the tax that everyone has to pay!
