Life gets busy, but there are a few simple things that never fail to make my days better. Here’s what brings me happiness, day after day:

A Good Cup of Coffee Coffee is my daily fuel. It’s more than just a drink it’s a small moment of calm before the day kicks into full speed. I can’t imagine starting a morning without it. My Pets My dog and cat are like little guardians of happiness at home. Each has a different personality, but both offer loyalty, comfort, and that feeling of being completely understood without saying a word. Work I’m Proud Of Even after decades in exploration and diamond drilling, my work still brings me pride. Helping to lead operations, sharing knowledge, and seeing real results out in the field always gives me a sense of accomplishment. Writing My Thoughts Blogging and writing parts of my books gives me a chance to reflect and create. It’s a way to put thoughts into order and share a bit of my experience with others and sometimes, even with myself. Family Connections Whether near or far, family is always in my thoughts. A quick call or message can change an entire day for the better. They are my foundation, no matter where work or life takes me.

At the end of the day, it’s these everyday things that keep me grounded and grateful.

Looking back after almost fifty years, it is not easy to pinpoint a single lesson I learned in high school. However, one thing stands out clearly: high school was the first place where we truly learned how to work and how to manage our lives independently, stepping out of the comfort of the “mama hotel.” It was during those years that we began to take responsibility for ourselves, organize our time, and plan our future with a sense of purpose. High school was not just about academic knowledge; it was about laying the foundations for adulthood and personal growth, preparing us for the real world beyond the classroom walls.

When it comes to choosing a pet, every animal brings its own unique charm and personality. In our home, we are lucky to have both a dog and a cat, and I truly believe they are perfect examples of how different yet equally wonderful pets can be.

Our dog is the loyal, ever-enthusiastic companion, always ready for an adventure or simply a cuddle on the couch. His unconditional love is heartwarming, and his energy reminds us daily to embrace life with excitement.

Our cat, on the other hand, is the gentle, independent spirit of the house. She chooses her moments of affection carefully, making every little nuzzle and purr feel extra special. Her quiet presence brings a sense of calm and elegance to our home.

While every pet has its own character, what matters most is the bond they build with us. Some people might say that certain animals make “better” or “worse” pets, but in the end, it all depends on the love and care they receive and the incredible connection they offer in return.

Both our dog and cat are completely different, yet they both bring so much joy into our lives in their own special ways. We couldn’t imagine our family without them!

Exploration drilling is the process of investigating the underground characteristics of a potential mining site. By extracting core samples from the earth, drilling operations provide geologists and mining companies with the necessary information to evaluate the presence, quantity, and quality of mineral resources.

The primary goal of exploration drilling is to reduce geological uncertainty. Before any large-scale investment is made, it is crucial to confirm whether a site holds economically viable mineral deposits. Exploration drilling delivers direct physical evidence that supports technical evaluations, resource estimations, and feasibility studies.

There are various drilling methods used in exploration, such as diamond core drilling, reverse circulation drilling, and rotary drilling. Each method is selected based on the geological conditions, depth requirements, and the type of minerals being targeted. Among these, diamond core drilling is widely preferred for its ability to deliver intact core samples that are essential for detailed geological, structural, and geotechnical analysis.

Without proper exploration drilling, mining projects carry significant financial and operational risks. Poorly informed decisions can lead to wasted investments, environmental impacts, and project failures. Exploration drilling not only helps to map the resource but also aids in designing more efficient extraction methods and environmental management plans.

A well-executed drilling program is, therefore, the foundation of every successful mining operation. It enables companies to move from theoretical models to real-world data, ultimately determining whether a project can proceed to development and production stages.

I have always had a deep appreciation for sports, and the Olympic Games are a true celebration of athletic excellence. While I enjoy watching a wide variety of disciplines, ball sports are undoubtedly my favorites.

Games such as football, basketball, volleyball, and handball capture my attention the most. I admire the combination of skill, teamwork, and strategy that these sports require. Each match is filled with dynamic moments, making them highly entertaining and inspiring to watch.

The passion and dedication shown by the athletes are truly remarkable, and I find great joy in following their journeys during the Olympics.

In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, I believe the most meaningful way to improve a community lies in stepping away from screens and stepping into real conversations. While the internet offers convenience and speed, it often comes at the cost of genuine human interaction. If I had the opportunity to make a difference, I would start with something simple: presence.

Improving my community, to me, means creating stronger human connections. I would encourage local gatherings where people can share their stories, challenges, and ideas face-to-face. It could be as modest as a weekly walk in the park, a shared coffee morning, or helping someone carry groceries. These small acts, done consistently, have the power to rebuild trust and a sense of belonging two things that often feel lost in modern society.

I’d also focus on reviving the idea of shared responsibility. In my experience on drilling sites across the world, I’ve seen how powerful teamwork can be when built on mutual respect and personal interaction. Translating that into community life would mean encouraging neighbors to look after each other, check in, and offer help not through a screen, but with a knock on the door.

To improve a community, we don’t always need grand plans. Sometimes, we just need to remember what it feels like to truly listen, to truly care and to do so without the filter of the internet.

Let me be honest I’m not one of those people who wakes up ready to conquer the world. My morning routine doesn’t involve meditation, cold showers, or motivational podcasts. Mine is simpler. Much simpler.

Coffee.

Coffee.

And yes… more coffee.

Those who know me will smile knowingly my day doesn’t start until caffeine hits my system. The first cup is about survival, the second is for clarity, and the third? That’s when I start functioning like a human being.

There’s a certain rhythm to those first quiet minutes: brewing the coffee, taking that first sip, and staring into the distance as I slowly negotiate peace with the morning. No phone calls, no emails, no decisions just me, my mug, and the promise of a new day.

So what does the first hour of my day look like? It’s dark roast, no distractions, and a silent agreement with the universe: “Let’s do this… but not before the third cup.”

I believe that every person carries a natural aura an energy that often reveals itself from the very first encounter. This subtle presence plays a significant role in how we perceive others. Sometimes, without even exchanging a word, we instinctively know whether someone is likable or not. It’s not just about appearance or words; it’s something deeper perhaps a reflection of one’s inner character or emotional state.

This initial impression, this intangible “vibe,” can define the direction of a relationship long before it even begins. Of course, people are complex and layered, and deeper understanding requires time. But I am convinced that everyone has a unique essence that sets them apart. It’s this personal aura that often leaves a lasting memory, even after a brief meeting.

So, what makes a person truly unique? For me, it begins with that unspoken presence the kind that doesn’t need explanation, only recognition.

Laughter is a universal language, and for me, nothing triggers it more effectively than stand-up comedy. It’s my favorite genre, and I find myself truly enjoying every moment when a talented comedian takes the stage and delivers their sharp, well-timed observations on everyday life.

There is something incredibly refreshing about the honesty and boldness that stand-up comedy offers. Whether it’s clever wordplay, insightful commentary, or simply the absurdity of real-life situations, I can’t help but laugh out loud. It’s not just about the jokes it’s about how comedians connect with the audience, often revealing the humor hidden in things we might otherwise overlook.

In the midst of a demanding profession like mine, these moments of laughter are not only enjoyable but necessary. They allow me to relax, reset, and be reminded that life, with all its complexities, still has plenty of room for joy and humor.

So, what makes me laugh? A great stand-up routine, a witty punchline, and the art of making light of life’s quirks those are my go-to sources of genuine amusement.
