Lifelong
Hello to all 6-year-olds and adults a little older. I will be 86 next week. When I was six, the world was completely different. But do you know what has remained completely the same? The joy of realization when you learn to learn something new.
My message to you, 6-year-old future maker:
You are now starting the newest summer of your life. And believe it or not, you are the most important player in our most modern Union team.
When you watch ants in the summer, learn a new game, climb a tree or wonder why the sky is blue and why adults laugh at stupid things, you are learning.
Never lose that curiosity. I am 8 and 0 years older than you, and I still learn something new every day – for example, how smart is the AI Älli. We are on the same team in this cooperative game of learning. You show me where the world is going, and I'll try to tell you how to get by along the way.
And then a message to us adults, the Politic, Public, Private. Person group, and especially to parents of children of all ages:
We talk a lot about learning new things, but our biggest challenge is unlearning. We have to unlearn the old idea that learning only happens at desks and in offices, ready-made. We have to unlearn the obsession with control and the idea that we always know everything best. The world of people is changing so fast that many of our old rules and rigid working methods have become mere ballast.
If we want to build a secure tomorrow for a six-year-old and, soon, thanks to him, for ourselves, we must dare to forget our old patterns. Unlearn the pompous bureaucracy and dare to sync ourselves with today. Let's make the culturally rich Personal EU lifelong realization of home Europe one where we adults don't just pour information into the child's head but are walking alongside. Let's let the child realize it themselves, and protect that path in the background.
With what and how, it will anwww the second and third speech.
A wonderful summer of insight for all of us!
Let's rest, wonder and keep our eyes open.
And when we meet others, let's talk about that unique moment of our tomorrow's game together.

Life
Life is like a rope. You are one strand of it. Your parents are partly involved before you. Your children partly after you. All of us together form the continuum of the rope. The finiteness of our time and the power of our earth's natural forces are stronger than us. Let's not make anyone's life unnecessarily difficult with our own stupidity.
Sometimes, however, it comes to mind that the human brain, which considers itself wise, is a malignant tumor that keeps growing and causing everything we do to end up being more destructive than helpful. We have the opportunity to prove this wrong, at least for ourselves and our close circle. Think how?
You
Existence is a basic condition for sustainable development.
You are the basic unit of human life.
Humans have created and are creating organizations with their rules and methods alienated from the natural laws of life, with disastrous results for the ecosystem of our world.
However, the world is our only place to live, and we must be kind to it to keep it for us.
We talk about sustainable development, but it is not enough. With the help of our Union-wide person teams, we could better understand what would be best to do for the good of everything and use international individual power to make it happen.
Flora and fauna
Flora and fauna (including humans) are a natural pair in the creation, complementing and benefiting each other. That is why we should always plant two new trees instead of cutting down one. In this way, we could do our own small part to promote the ability of flora to protect our world from the scorching power of the sun.
Air
The air can no longer support our mechanized way of life: it becomes unlivable for us and all living beings. Can we come up with a connon living style to stop and change the trend?
Water
70% of yourself is water. This alone shows how important the world's water quality is to us.
How could the Personal EU era help us to protect the water?
Rethink it
with Personal EU
with Personal EU
The Personal EU concept was born in my thoughts in the last decades of the last millennium.
A decade of experience with the international clients of a leading advertising agency and several internationalization assignments for my own company Takapiru (the devil behind) brought my interest to the center of our new European Union and the value of people across borders. At the beginning of this millennium, my initiative "Route to a Personal EU era" received strong support among the information society developers of the European Union Commission. E.g. Extensive projects were prepared on its basis in Spain and Hungary.
Personal EU was also close to becoming the information society theme of Finland's EU presidency in 2006.
However, the attitudes were still not citizen-oriented enough.
Now times have changed so that the international interaction of an individual and the possibilities of lifelong teamwork are really great.
The presidents of the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council signed the agreement "European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles" 15/12/2022. "This vision puts people at the center."
Likewise, the need to get the administration of the European Union to create the essential capabilities for the citizens to be enthusiastically organized to participate in the development stages and challenges of society from the beginning, as a complementary essential force in general.
The discussion of the European Union on the subject of Federal or State Union should aiways include Personal EU as a third option that belongs to both of them.
This is how we will build our EU into the world's strongest and most enlightened pioneering society.
Inspiring interaction!
