Foreword

              When I was young, someone said to me: “to live is to feel”.
              I went through life with this belief.

              I started writing this book in 2019, a few months before my
              68th  birthday.  There  were  periods  of  writing,  periods  of
              stalling  and  the  start  of  writing  my  second  book.  Today,
              almost 3 years have passed.
              The story is based on my memories. It details moments in
              my life that have left enough of an impression on me to be
              anchored in my memory.
                 I have listed a few important dates to help set the context.

              Except from a few photos, I could have researched many of
              the subjects I describe to add to them, tone them down or
              even make them more meaningful. I deliberately chose not
              to.
                 My father died in February 2019, he was just over 91. My
              mother died in July 2021, she had been 92 in January; my
              memories are not going to develop any further!

              So why did I decide to write the story of my life?

              Passing  on  what  I've  learned  has  always  been  one  of  my
              objectives.
              Through  the  challenges  I  have  had  to  face,  through  the
              consultancy services I offer to customers, through my work
              as  a  university  teacher,  and  finally,  through  coaching
              students and people seeking change, transferring knowledge
              has always been a driver.
