The remarkable about the “Stand up initiative” is that the founder, Hamoun Kamai, is disabled from the neck down himself, but that was no reason for him to stop living his life. Now he’s not only trying to help himself but also all the other paraplegic to participate at normal life again.

And there are more people trying to spread progressive thinking. For example this blog carnival called: Carnival of positive thinking. There you can find many articles and posts about positive thinking, or inspiring storys from real life, just like the one of Hamoun Kamai. So stop feeling powerless and get things moving. And I think, this posting and the german Think positive charity could be our contribution to that Carnival of positive thinking as well.

Either our charity is a german activity and takes place in Germany we’ll also welcome all english written comments full of positive thoughts. As I said before – each comment = 2 € for Stand Up. Join us and post your positive thought here. Thank you. :-)

We’re now starting the International Blog Parade here at the TeNo blog: Blog around the clock. International because we want to start this blog at the same time in our German, Spanish and French blogs. And we thought we’d collect articles about time and watches. So we’ve spread the subject matter pretty far and wide – we’d love to get philosophical observations on time itself, just as much as we’d like practical tips for better time management, photos on watches and time, reviews of books about time and watches, articles about special watches of any make, watch collections, advice on watch museums, links to watch blogs and watch portals and and and….. There’s no limit set on your imagination or ideas.

We’re hoping that through this we can get a really extensive collection of material that we can collect and sort out and then put it all together as a file (PDF) for everyone. This treasure trove of interesting information won’t just be for dedicated watch fans and collectors.

Blog around the clock starts with this post and everyone has time to blog and make their contribution on the subject of watches and time until 15.06. 2008.

This is how it works: use the button for Blog around the clock to illustrate your article on the Blog Parade. Write your article for this Parade and put a Trackback to this start posting. That’s all you have to do. Of course you can write as many articles as you want. We’d also be very happy if you advertised this Parade too.

As a thank you for taking part, at the end we’ll have a lucky dip for all participants and give away 10 TeNo Design watches – you can choose either a man’s or lady’s watch.

So, on your marks, get set, go: Blog around the clock!
