Can you imagine that one single person can change the world?
YVESKE, says yes!
In the grand tapestry of human history, it’s always individuals who stand out as luminous beacons of conviction, dedication, and creativity. They are the architects of destruction and progress. The dreamers, the believers, the people who turn their visions and efforts into reality, and the entrepreneurs who shape our KAPLA world... Their personal stories are a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity, where passion and purpose converge to change the course of history.
GREAT BOOK OF GREATNESS is a humble gift to creativity, leadership, determination, and courage. A story artbook, which hopefully will move you, make you smile, think, dream, and react. Made in Holland, Europe, and some other countries. With true love and dedication. Hopefully for humanity, culture consciousness, peace, freedom, togetherness, and new technology. Probably a bumpy ride.
Through eyes, 200 great stories were created in art. still alive and persistent characters behind them. Hated and loved. Admired and criticized. Chosen because they’re great stories to tell in art. They never follow the crowd. Fearless and convinced of their mission. No flat lines.
These (great) minds are not bound by the limitations of convention or deterred by the naysayers. Often misunderstood, they possess an unwavering conviction in their ideas, a belief that propels them forward, even when the path is fraught with uncertainty and obstacles. It is this steadfast faith in themselves and their mission that sets them apart. Conviction is the cornerstone upon which greatness is built. Dedication is the fuel that sustains their journey. These individuals do not merely flirt with their dreams; they commit their lives to them. They want to maximize human potential. They toil tirelessly, often sacrificing comfort, sleep, and even personal relationships in the relentless pursuit of their goals. They carry cultural consciousness. They are travelers. These visionaries possess an innate ability to see beyond the status quo, to envisage possibilities where others see only limitations. They are the artists of innovation and dedication. Creativity is their secret weapon. What goes up must come down. We live in the bounce-back world.
Curated with doubts and agony over every person and piece. Some of them confuse. They certainly trigger. Greatness is not always about perfection. It even can be ugly, confusing, disrupting, and brutal. To walk in the soul of every story is a doubting, suffering, and exciting trip. It is not an opinion. It is every work that tells a story. Their story. They encourage to fulfill dreams. Definitely many others could be part of GREAT BOOK OF GREATNESS.
Peace, happiness, identity, ambition, and compassion are what fuel us. The best path to peace begins with understanding and compassion among all. It’s a harmonious balance born from historical information and personal experiences. Empathy, dialogue, tolerance, and cooperation would be helpful. GREAT BOOK OF GREATNESS is a wrap, a reflection of fifty-seven years of walking and talking, learning and experiencing in a whacky whirlwind world.
