‘Somewhere on earth a new life begins 364,501 times a day. That means 364,501 new stories throughout the world. Over the years I have become
more and more fascinated by this. Everywhere children are born with their own life story: their own parents and family, their own environment, their own culture, their own place in the world, their own future. The day on which a child is born is a universal happening, of which, as a woman and a mother, I know the experience and the emotions. A happening which has provided me as a photographer with very powerful, pure and always unique pictures. Pictures which intrigued me as a journalist, and always ended up in a single question… Why do we actually bring children into the world? In what kind of world will they grow up? What is their story?’
— Lieve Blancquaert, photographer, journalist, mother
Birth day is a multimedia project consisting of a book, an exhibition and a television series (Belgian National Television) in autumn 2013.
For this project, the author has immersed herself in fifteen different worlds and cultures: Israel (Tiberias), Kuwait (Kuwait City), Belgium (Brussels / Antwerp), Congo (Kasongo Lunda), Kenia (Nairobi), Norway (Hammerfest), Brasil (Rio), Russia (Siberia), USA (Atlanta), China (Sjanghai), India (West-Bengal), Greenland (Sisiniut), Cambodia (Pray), Pakistan (Lower Dir)…

����The World Calendar of Happinessgeluk
EEN JA AR VOL
In Een jaar vol geluk krijg je niet enkel een citaat of een tip om gelukkig(er) te worden. Je vindt ze allebei.
Bovendien lees je ze precies op de geboortedag van de creatieve geest waaraan de idee is ontsproten. Van Einstein en Goethe
tot Homer Simpson en Madonna. Laat je verrassen door ��� krachtige ideeën en creatieve adviezen
uit de hele wereld die kunnen bijdragen tot je eigen geluk en dat van anderen.
Op de achterkant van elk kalenderblaadje is ruimte
voor je drie positiefste ervaringen van de voorbije dag. Zo wordt dit ook een geluksdagboek voor jezelf
en voor wie je dierbaar is.
Deze gelukskalender werd dag voor dag samengesteld door Leo Bormans, de auteur van Geluk. The World Book
of Happiness. De citaten zijn tijdloos en de eraan gekoppelde adviezen zijn gebaseerd op werkbare
inzichten uit de positieve psychologie.
Veel geluk!

Optimisten zijn gezonder en leven langer. Ze zijn
gelukkiger en succesvoller. Waarop wacht je? Word optimist!
Leo Bormans is de auteur van de internationale bestseller
Geluk. The World Book of Happiness. Tijdens zijn talloze lezingen
en workshops in binnen- en buitenland ontdekte hij hoe mensen
gefascineerd zijn door een oprecht zoeken naar geluk. Ze laten zich
daarbij niet langer leiden door een vaag geloof of naïef optimisme.
Ze willen de kennis en de inzichten van de positieve psychologie
integreren in hun dagelijkse leven.
Maar hoe doe je dat precies? En welke uitweg is er voor realisten
en pessimisten? In Word optimist! brengt Leo gewone en
inspirerende voorbeelden, haalbare adviezen en verrassende verhalen.
Zo ontdek je hoe je van optimisme een levensstijl kunt maken.

Begin jaren 1990 reist Veerle de Vos naar Wuhan, Centraal-China, om er Engels te doceren. Ze komt terecht in een harde maatschappij waar het verleden verboden is en het heden verwarrend. Haar ontluikende vriendschap met haar Chinese collega Zhang Luwei geeft haar de sleutel in handen om het complexe land te ontcijferen. Hoe meer ze over het levensverhaal van Zhang te weten komt, hoe meer inzicht ze krijgt in dit complexe en fascinerende land.
De ontdekkingstocht van Veerle en het levensverhaal van Zhang Luwei geven een unieke inkijk in hoe de Chinese maatschappij echt functio-neert. Ze schetsen hoe de veranderingen de levens van de gewone mensen door elkaar schudden in een land dat vastbesloten is zijn voortrekkersrol in de wereld weer op te nemen. ‘Ik realiseer me dat ik geen flauw idee heb wat er echt in haar omgaat. Het lijkt alsof ik de juiste code mis om haar te kunnen ontcijferen. “Kras de buitenkant weg van elke Chinees en je vindt een tragisch verhaal”, lees ik jaren later in een boek. Hoe juist dat is, zal ik merken als Xiao Zhang me haar eigen verhaal vertelt, beetje bij beetje.’ – Veerle de Vos
Veerle De Vos is VRT-journaliste. Ze maakt reportages voor Radio 1 en het radionieuws. Van 1993 tot 1995 woonde en werkte ze in China als docent Engels aan een Chinese universiteit. Sindsdien reisde ze er tientallen keren opnieuw naartoe. Zhang luwei, Xiao Zhang (kleine Zhang) noemt Veerle haar, is docent Engels. Zhang is de naam van haar vader, Luwei betekent ‘kleine dauwdruppel’. Ze werd geboren en groeide op in Wuhan. Sinds kort woont en werkt ze in het buitenland.

A Spanish bar. My fat neighbour finishes his beer and asks the waiter what he owes him. ‘Dos euros’, the young waiter smiles. The fat man gives him a coin of 2 Euros and gets ready to leave when he sees that the waiter hands his apron to his successor, a blond, enthusiastic waitress. The fat man looks at her and sits down again. He orders another
‘cerveza’ and asks her what he owes her. Instead of 2 Euros, he generously gives her 3 Euros and winks at her. She hap-pily takes her tip and walks away.

Moreover I am smart, handsome, funny and fineAlways modest, without designAlways happy, never depressedFor that will make you love me lessAlthough, I am faced with a single problemThat I am none of these things to anyone else Hence this requestAt the start of this text:Who wants to be my sweetheart?
