When organizers of a conference have a lot of good speakers and only a day or two in which to have them all speak, they organize the speakers into panels. It sounds good at the beginning: 5 speakers on stage, each giving their reply to the questions, as they arise.
Just Google [volunteering helps with] and you will get some reasons for which people volunteer.
But the most important reasons are these two:
I think I’ve read it first on Derek Siver’s blog, but it was also a long thought of mine, that in order to best help an NGO you should do the work which is most impactfull (which is likely to be something closely related to your 9-to-5 job), and use the money you earn like this to help NGOs. This should have more impact than you giving flyers and organizing events.
More than 10 years ago, in October 18, 2007, at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Bucharest, HR Club organized a conference at which I’ve first seen Nigel Risner. His talk was about “How to Create IMPACT as an HR Partner”.
At some point, he asked for volunteers to a task which anyone should have volunteered to (be in front of people, be applauded). He picked the fastest person to raise his hand, and then asked a curious question to a participant – „Why didn’t you raise your hand?”. And the answer came „He was faster than me.”, to which Nigel Replied „So, it’s his fault?”
Yesterday I watched Wonder (2017).
It’s the seventh movie I like a lot, after Le Notti di Cabiria (1957), The Grey (2012), Gattaca (1997), Saving Mr. Banks (2013), The Butterfly Effect (2004), Inside Out (2015).
I looked at the list above, and noticed that most of the movies in the list are dramas, and only two are comedies. Only one movie is an action movie. I noticed I tend to avoid dramas, and watch action movies, and comedies more. That’s a bit of a strange choice, given the context.
„Wonder” is a delicate movie, gives you some perspectives on life. I don’t consider it very realistic, it gives an unrealistic optimism over life. And I think that’s a good thing, movies should do that. You don’t watch a movie for the brutal truth, but for the good it should bring in you.
Otherwise, it’s a powerful movie, with tough emotions. I haven’t cried, though. :)
In the past, I used to deeply admire some persons. For the rest, the inevitable question arose: „Why aren’t you why you could be, if you really wanted?” (a model).
Nowadays, I don’t have any models. There are some people for which I care more than for others, but it’s not a big difference.
Also, I tend to have lost the need for attachment. I used to think that to love someone, I needed to be attached to that person. Not anymore.
This gives me some freedom (I can be wherever I must be, without caring too much about models).
Hi,
This book („Irresistible” by Adam Alter) can be useful if:
A. You want to know more about your internet / technology dependence. It focuses in particular on Facebook / gaming addiction, but it goes through more aspects.
b. You are interested in the influence of technology / Online on children.
c. Are you interested in concepts such as gamification in the business (how to make „gamification” products), or how to make an attractive online project, what „hooks” to use.
The key word of the book: addiction (Internet mainly, but also games and technology in particular).

I have passed by a park today and took the photo below. What you see in there is „park arrangement” by Romanian authorities: feweer green areas, more concrete areas. The green part is neglected, the artificial one increased. It’s a shame. Why do you need 3 alleys in a small park?
I’ve noticed in a lot of small companies for which I give consulting the following trend – the CEO of the company is very engaged, passionate, hard working. The person has lots of ideas. On another hand, the employees have much less energy and passion. A big problem is the lack of accountability. The CEO is accountable for everything, while each individual employee for just a small number of things. For this reason, a company needs the CEO a lot. That person is the blood within the body.
