Sometimes, I go to conferences, and some speakers put very long URLs, such as:
https://olivian.ro/using-bit-ly-links-for-conferences/
Wouldn’t it be better if they used bit.ly, and, also, personalized the URL to be something in the likes of:
https://bit.ly/conferencebucharest/
?
You can personalize the URL and make it nice and sweet, easy to type, easy to even remember.
There’s a saying that goes „The shoemaker always wears the worst shoes”.
I see people having done a lot websites not having a website of their own.
On possible explanation, in my opinion? They might hate making websites.
If they’d love making websites, they’d have one on their own.
Also, it’s like punctuality – if you come to the meeting on time, you are already late, as you should have come earlier.
You should not only have a website, but a website on which you put a lot of effort.
Sometimes, I need to do some urine culture test.
My suggestion for doing this – when you buy a recipient for this, consider actually buying two.
I’m all in favor of being friendly with nature, but it’s safer to buy two than waste one day due to some errors.
They are generally very cheap, less than 50 cents.
Things change, I don’t like to make plans two years from now.
It’s not that bad, but it’s not great, either.
It’s good to make plans, but also to have the ability to adjust them.
There are two ways of looking at love:
I prefer the latter option.
I think:
Some people ask: „How are people in the USA? What’s the difference between them and Romanians?”
I liked a lot Jim Bagnola‘s answer to this question (very approximate quote): there are a lot of differences between individuals. Some people have special particularities, tempers, and personalities. The generalization „Americans are like that” tends to be false.
On the other hand, there are some studies that can show differences. Sure, you won’t get a specific answer, there are like differences from various parts of Romania, like they are from a US State to another, or even within a State, or even in various spaces within a city.
But there are some studies that give insights on how the „average” American differs from the „average” Romanian.
But Mr. Bagnola is right – you’re more likely to meet some extremes, rather than the average. Personalities matter more than things related to the culture of a country.

By writing this essay, we (the author, Olivian-Claudiu Breda) tried to better understand Kazakhstan and its people, the Kazakhs, by doing some documentation work on the country. We looked at sources of information in English, primarily books, but a few websites and scientific articles, also.
With the data we gathered, the next aim was to see if the reforms and objectives that happened after 1990 were solid enough so that the country could develop quickly but in a sustainable way. But how could the country develop if, first, the people that are part of it don’t have a mental model of success?
We tried to find out if Kazakhstan sets a high-enough target that its mental model of success helps it and will help, in the future, be successful.
We selected below some of the findings from various sources. We tried our best to create a united view of the story.
Let’s say someone tells me – „In my opinion, you did wrong. This wouldn’t disturb me, but someone else”. How would I interpret this?
How would the person know that someone else would be disturbed by my act? Likely, they were offended by it, but don’t like to admit so.
So, whenever someone tells me „This wouldn’t disturb me, but someone else”, I tend to think that I actually offended that person.
What would differ would not be the action (to disturb), but the reaction (I choose to stay calm).
