    The Weekly Slice 12: Homework, Toilets, Sales Calls, and Why Values Show Up Anyway

    ByMayor 6 February 20266 February 2026

    A practical Weekly Pineapple Slice from the Brida Community Over the last week, the Pineapple articles didn’t debate values in theory.They ran into them — at work, at home, in meetings, in traffic, in language lessons, and occasionally… in airplane toilets. What ties these pieces together isn’t philosophy. It’s real situations where people had to…

    Peeling Potatoes 34. Alive. Live. And mildly confused in the best possible way.

    ByMayor 6 February 20266 February 2026

    “And we are live.” Not just live—alive.Alive with enthusiasm, slightly too much caffeine, and that familiar sense that something meaningful might happen… or we might just end up talking about cows in the street and Grade 1 maths again. Which, honestly, is kind of the point. The hills are alive.The sound of music is playing…

    Just be yourself

    ByJanita Le Grange 6 February 2026

    It’s been a while… Lack of motivation. Lack of ideas. Feeling lost and the feeling of “not having enough time”. Pressures of everyday life. Starting over in grade 1 – and failing at grade 1 math… I am glad I am not 7 years old anymore. My son is going through some things. He loves…

    Values, guidance and the Chicken mascot

    BySarah 6 February 2026

    Rediscovering Core Values Through Conversation On an ordinary school evening—between exams, packed scout bags, and the promise of an upcoming holiday—a quiet but powerful conversation unfolded. It wasn’t about grades or schedules, but about something deeper: values. Honesty. Courage. Self-discipline. The invisible forces that shape who we are long before we can name them. Sarah…

    Aligned Values: Moving Mountains and Navigating Change

    ByJanita Le Grange 6 February 2026

    By the time the recording light blinked on, confusion was already in the room. Frank was confused. Natalie was half-visible at the far end of her living room in Seoul. Someone had moved a table. Someone had changed a plug. Someone else had disappeared entirely—then reappeared, cheerfully, like a magician who’d forgotten the order of…

    Rediscovering Core Values

    ByManfred 6 February 2026

    For people of my generation, values were never something we talked about. They were part of everyday life. We learned them at home, at school, at work, and in the community. We did not analyse them. We showed them by how we behaved. In my daily life, it is important to do what feels normal…

    Style and Substance: When Values Get Dressed in the Morning

    ByJanita Le Grange 4 February 2026

    There’s something quietly intimate about talking about clothes. Not trends or brands, not what’s “in” this season, but the real stuff: why we reach for certain jeans on a Tuesday morning, why a dress can feel like armor—or like a mistake—and how much of our inner life ends up hanging in our closet. This conversation…

    Values, or: Why Some People Don’t Know What the Fuss Is About

    ByMayor 4 February 20263 February 2026

    The topic was not chosen by The Mayor. This point mattered to him, and he said so early. Janita had selected it: values. And already, before the discussion had properly begun, The Mayor admitted something that framed everything that followed — he found it difficult to talk about values at all. Not because he rejected…

    Authenticity at Work: Being Alexander With Customers

    ByAlexander 3 February 20262 February 2026

    People often ask me if I am the same person at work as I am in private.I think this is a fair question.Because in sales, you are always between two things: being yourself and doing your job. I work as a regional salesperson. I meet many different people. Buyers, managers, directors, gatekeepers. Some are open….

    Being Myself at Work – From Top Gun to the Kitchen Table

    ByRalf the Grillmeister 2 February 20262 February 2026

    People like to imagine the military as something loud and hard. Orders, shouting, macho men, fighting all the time.Maybe sometimes that is true.But that was not my everyday life. For twelve years and two months, I worked as what you can call a naval air soldier. That sounds already a bit confused — and it…
