Bună, în articolul de față prezint câteva aspecte ale stricării pieței globale prin folosirea defectuoasă a limbii române:
Logistic, să faci un curs sau două pe zi, de obicei 3h maximum la master, dar tot de obicei în jur de 2h, pentru care trebuia să pierzi timp zilnic în trafic. Cum ar fi să ai 3-4 cursuri pe zi, și o singură zi de cursuri?
Profesori cu cerințe de efort aberante. 100 de pagini material scris la un singur curs.
Necesitatea 100% de a fi venit la curs pentru a putea promova.
Cinci căi de a fi fericit în România | Ziarul Metropolis:
Gabriel Liiceanu: “Când mă întreb ce s-a adunat mai de soi în viața mea, aș fi tentat să răspund: tot ce a rezultat din convergența către splendoare. Iar convergența aceasta a survenit numai și numai în două cazuri: în întâlnirile excepționale ale vieții, care m-au ajutat să-mi construiesc ceea ce am numit cândva „edificiul afectiv al vieții”; și în bucuria de a descoperi, cu ajutorul creațiilor care ne justifică specia și ne împing până la hotarele existenței, partea cea mai adâncă a ființei mele. Deocamdată nu știu alte căi de evadare din singurătate și nefericire.”
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?”
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).
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?
