I would like to present a small comparison between Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004):
I think that TV commercials tend to be aggressive.
Not all of them, and it certainly depends on the country.
But most ads, to be memorable, need to create some sort of surprise.
It would be great to have a soft surprise, an internal realization, an insight.
But a lot of time more abrupt surprises are preferred – shocking, aggressive, loud.
In a convent, as in psychology, you play on unstable ground.
It’s easy to promise, but difficult to keep your promise.
You know the rules, but you can fail.
Monasticism and psychology are sometimes a gamble.
You can earn a lot (spirit, knowledge), but it’s also the way you fall.
Lucifer used to be the most beautiful angel.
You can have virtues and still fall.
I do not believe in bad people, I believe in contexts and facts with negative consequences and negative intentions.
You can give a beggar 5 lei, he takes an overdose, he dies. You wanted to help him.
You can be upset with someone, want to beat him, and get stronger and better prepared for life.
You can volunteer to help someone, they might use your help for evil purposes.
You can be angry with someone, yell at them, and they would stop doing something evil.
You can do bad things because of your inner beliefs, education, growth, environment.
A bad person in itself – I don’t think it exists.

Some salespeople are looking for shortcuts, and hitting the target is everything, they want to be right.
I think they might be wrong, the solution is the paradox and the middle path.
It’s not just about sales, it’s about results, and this is more complex than a sales figure.
The opposite? People who ignore the figures, all the way, who doubt themselves, who are anti-system.
The more I think about the middle path, the farther away it seems to go.
The most important suggestion for online would be to make a YouTube channel like this: Bishop Robert Barron – YouTube.
If you want to win a mime game, try to choose people that don’t have remarkable things.
Ion Rațiu is famous for his bow, while Radu Câmpeanu is not known for such a thing – thus Radu Câmpeanu is more difficult to guess.
Charlie Chaplin has lots of things you can pick up. Bobby Ewing from „Dallas„? Less so.
In my opinion, it’s good to work on something head-to-tail, not to make 20 small texts at once, then 1/4 of another task, and so on.
If you want to make a website, just make that site, from start to end.
I heard this about a person who went to the UK/USA – Emi Gal.
Fully agree.
In projects, I separate the stages, there is a sales stage, in which you try to establish a connection, a working stage for the project (things get done here), and, finally, a post-project stage (follow-up, keep in contact).
The fact that a sale fails is fine, it does not affect me.
I don’t expect 100% success in the sales phase.
Why do I like to screencast on YouTube? (I make videos and share them with people on YouTube)
Two main reasons:
Sometimes, there’s a third reason, also – I can make a video and, later on, reuse it.
