I like going to theater plays.
Some reasons for this:
There is a video by Tom Peters on this topic:
Brand You: You Are Your Calendar – YouTube.
It makes me think – it’s important to have principles and values to form strategy and use tactics.
But if you don’t act on what is on your mind, your life doesn’t reflect your values.
„Ar trebui să încercăm să trăim în așa fel încât, dacă s-ar pierde Evanghelia, numai privindu-ne cineva, ea să poată fi scrisă din nou” – Mitropolitul Antonie al Surojului

Samsung sells both expensive and cheap phones.
Apple generally sells expensive phones.
When Samsung tries to sell a Samsung Galaxy Ultra phone, it creates a question in the buyer’s mind: „Am I buying an expensive or cheap product?”
When Apple tries to sell a cheap iPhone SE, people might ask – „Is this a cheap product? That’s hard to believe!”
There’s a reason why, in the car industry, BMW only sells expensive cars, while Volkswagen cars are average.
You don’t buy a luxury Volkswagen and a cheap BMW.
I believe Apple should sell the iPhone SE, and Samsung should create a separate brand for its top products.
Sometimes, I see beggars in trains.
Some travel on the floor, claiming they don’t have legs (most of them do).
Some leave some things to buy or take as a donation from them and return afterward to ask for money.
Some claim to be mute.
When you tell them not to leave objects near you, as you don’t want them, some of them become aggressive, although their place in the train is unclear.
I don’t remember giving anything to them anytime.
I think helping them is hurting society, as this encourages them.
You don’t know their history if you see a beggar on the street.
You aren’t sure that if you help them with money, they’ll use this money in a very unethical way.
If someone asks for money on a social network, you don’t know, again, their history.
The solution in that case? Go to an NGO, tell them your story, make them spread your story, and vouch for you.
If such an NGO doesn’t exist (but I think it does), it needs to be invented.
If you do a thing over and over again, you will tend to become good with it.
Repeating the same sermon each Sunday and doing a similar praying ritual over and over again will make you better.
If you see a movie or read a book once, you’ll discover many things. Doing it again and again after some years pass will make you an expert in it.
It’s like taking a PhD.
In conclusion, I think it’s a good thing that some things tend to repeat.
Google’s deadline for organizations using its services in the EU/EEA and UK for advertising is March 2024. Companies need to implement a Google-certified consent management platform, like Cookiebot CMP. If they don’t, they will still be able to serve ads, but without access to personalization functionality. […]
Under the EU user consent policy, third parties that use Google’s platforms and services need to meet the following requirements:
There is a scene in a movie (I think it was a documentary) with an old person making fake IDs for Jews during the Second World War.
The person said they were working for very long periods of time, hardly ever sleeping, always thinking that they could save another life with their work.
And there’s this scene from Schindler’s List: I could have saved one more (ending scene).
Dr. Alexandru Pesamosca and Dr. Niculina Bratu hardly had any life outside of helping others.
In life, you do things – work, have fun, relax, concentrate, get more results, do more things.
It’s important to see how much you can have an impact on others.
And having just one more little impact.
On the 25th of January 2024, the event „Eternal Values and Their Relevance in Higher Education,” organized by ASE Bucharest (The Bucharest University of Economic Studies), took place.
Agenda:
Below are photos and videos from the event.
If I’d known a famous person right when the person was little known, I’d talk to them easily. As time passed, I’d talk less and less to them if they became famous.
Let’s say I’d known Bishop Robert Emmet Barron since he was not famous. Sure, I can talk to him. As time passed, I’d talk less and less to him.
This is natural – his time becomes more valuable, and he can do better things in the world than talk to me.
