What I think!

Suyin’s Friday Thoughts

Every Friday before diving into the weekend I share my thoughts in my weekly blog (in English). Things that touched me, stuff I learned, people I met, challenges I faced, opportunities I see, dreams I try to put in words.

Are we forgetting how to give undivided attention?

I love technology. I really do. My smartphone keeps me connected, organized, and inspired. But lately I catch myself checking it too often without even thinking. In a conversation, at the dinner table, in a meeting and recently when I was talking with my coach I realized how hard it has become to offer someone […]

Can you be bot an artist and a competitor?

Sometimes I look back and wonder if my career started as a top-level athlete or as an artist? And more and more, I realize it was never either/or. It was both. A blend. The strength of one complemented the soul of the other. As an athlete, the path is measurable. You win or you lose. […]

Are we missing the real meaning of sustainability?

Lately, I’ve been moderating conversations and recording podcasts on sustainability. It has been events filled with passionate voices, bold ideas, and ambitious goals. And yet, as I listen and engage, a question keeps resurfacing in my mind: Are we narrowing sustainability down to labels and certifications while missing what truly matters? Don’t get me wrong, […]

How do we raise girls who change the world?

A few years ago, I traveled to a remote village in Morocco as part of a delegation of women. It was there, among the dusty paths and quiet strength of rural life, that I met Ayla. She was around the same age as my daughters, full of dreams and hope. I still remember the drawing […]

Are we too focused on the future to enjoy today?

This week, my 18-year-old daughter told me something that stayed with me: how important it is not only to prepare for the future, but also to truly enjoy each day as it comes. As she and her sister prepare to start university, it’s beautiful to witness their excitement and focus. Their eyes are on what’s […]
