Sometimes, I talk to customer support people.
From time to time, I encounter issues in various systems.
Perhaps they tell their superiors, „Hmm, that’s an issue with our system; you’ll need to fix this so our clients don’t have an issue.”
I suspect most of them don’t, though, as some problems persist.
There are two issues:
AUDIO: Prezint la sfârșitul articolului și o înregistrare audio a dr. Stelian Gomboș.
TEXT: Articol de Dr. Stelian Gomboș:
Blândul, bunul, radiosul, nonagenarul și venerabilul nostru Părinte Nicolae Bordașiu a fost, pentru unii, Părintele lor duhovnicesc, pentru alții nasul lor, pentru alții profesorul, dirigintele sau directorul lor, pentru alții colegul lor, pentru alții vecinul sau camaradul lor, iar pentru alții a fost, probabil, mai multe sau chiar toate acestea la un loc!…
De aceea plecarea lui dintre noi, chiar și la această vârstă, este, și acum, una tare dificilă fiindcă unul ca sfinția să nu poate fi înlocuit/substituit!…
In the past, people tended to be more angry. Direct feedback, physical punishments, people with nerves.
I find today’s people quite a bit friendlier, happier, and with less anger and upset.
On the other hand, they can be offended by small things, like getting a call.
The thing is, society evolves, but some people don’t. It’s likely to meet an older person that has a different behavior than what’s expected in the current society.

Primul lucru pe care am nevoie să îl fac este să am o metodă prin care să rețin fapta – fie mă gândesc la ea, o retrăiesc mental, fie o notez undeva. Ulterior, caut o formă de recunoștință.
Desigur, asta se întâmplă extrem de parțial – realmente nu aș putea mulțumi îndeajuns tuturor care mă ajută.
Trăim în lume, și sunt atâtea lucruri pentru care să fii recunoscător, încât nu mi-ar ajunge timpul.
Dar măcar să pun un început, pot.
I often see this – a lot: „What differentiates a successful man from an ordinary person?”.
Lots of gurus will try to tell you, „Oh, the successful person does so-and-so, unlike the regular persons.”
In my opinion, a lot of such assertions are false.
Being successful is generally a combination of hard work, intelligence, human skills, motivation, and luck. It’s actually quite simple—put in the work, be motivated, have some intelligence (social and general), and hope for luck.
But it’s much cooler to imagine, „Oh, the successful people are different from me on a few specific points.”
But I consider the assertion to be false.
Sayings like „Find out here what separates the very successful people from the unsuccessful ones” are aimed only at sounding fancy, not providing value.
Can you get a nosocomial infection while visiting a hospital? Possibly.
Is it better to avoid the hospital at all costs due to this? Most likely not.
When you read the news, all sorts of things get a lot of attention—plane crashes, fires, accidents.
But you are more likely to suffer from a heart issue. And heart issues are more in people’s control than some of the things that make news headlines.
I like to insist. I enjoy pushing. I am pro-„try more”.
I tend to be a Shaper on the Belbin Team Roles.
On the other hand, there’s a downside – there’s a risk of nagging others, annoying people, and not caring.
There’s also the risk that I only get to support others’ plans instead of starting things.
Good and bad, both at the same time.
Sometimes, I try to be of service, and bad things happen.
Sometimes, I try to help, and people get upset.
I don’t think I have the right not to have something negative happen to me.
Even if you try to live healthy, accidents happen.
Even if you generally perform fine, some clients will be upset.
I try not to expect that life owes me something, and I have the right to receive only good things.
Some people ask for donations on their birthdays.
The result is generally good – some NGOs get more donations.
I prefer not to do it, though.
To consider that:
#1 I’m entitled to receive something, my friends owe me something;
#2 The NGO/cause I support is of better money than what my friends would generally do with their money;
are both false, at least to me.
I don’t think I’m entitled, and if my friends prefer not to help an NGO but buy ice cream, I think that the money is well spent.
