Ik Kom Binnen!

Wanneer de politie een inval doet dan bonzen ze op de deur en roepen naar de aanwezigen. Als er niemand reageert dan tellen ze af en roepen: “WE KOMEN BINNEN!” Hoe vastberaden zijn wij om te vinden waarnaar we zoeken? Gerichte intentie brengt je meestal ergens.

Not a philosophy, not a ‘mission’, YOU – our life speaks and is always being read, lets make it a great read!

Don't be weird or annoying around people; ask questions, be interested in people, don't be the one who never stops talking about themselves.
