Îmi place acest citat:
Ana Udriște: Clientul vine la tine ca să câștige timp, nu să îi dai o soluție. (via »)
În aspectele tehnice din marketing, clienții vin pentru soluții la furnizor. Dar în multe alte lucruri, clienții vin pentru a economisi timpul.
I like to say boring things, I think it’s a necessary step for saying something smart.
I don’t try to be boring, but I think a lot of smart things are quite boring.
What’s not boring? Aggressiveness and mocking things.
About passion – it might be generally a bit more difficult to be boring and, at the same time, be passionate and show talent in what you do.
I think there are two aims of NGOs for students:
A while ago, I thought that one should mostly focus on helping people. Having fun can’t be that bad.
Sheryl Crow – If It Makes You Happy (Official Music Video) – YouTube.
There are some persons who, in my opinion, talk too much: for those persons, sometimes, I tend, presently, not to say „You’re welcome” all that much. I let a person that likes talking a lot having the final word.
On the other hand, on most occasions, I tend to say „You’re welcome!” and I’m often the one with the last word.
Might want to work on this. :)
If you’re part of a project, I suggest the following: make sure that there is a person making the decision.
So, if there are 3 persons who must deliver something, there must be a person who should make the final decision.
Sure, consult others, talk, debate.
But there should be a single responsible person.
I’m not that much in favor of self-governing countries, without any Government.
Belgium breaks own record for longest period without government.
I heard this some time ago while taking theater classes: If I’m a cool person, I will not check left and right. I’ll focus on what really matters.
Think of models walking on the catwalk, they focus on what they need to do.
Or: Escaping the Drug Factory | The Bourne Legacy | All Action – YouTube:
„We belong here”.
I liked that thought – focus to the extreme, ignore everything else, just focus on the main aim.
I have some memories from high school.
I was part of an Informatics class, generally, the colleagues were better educated.
In the high school, there was, among others, another class, with students more focused on sports.
We typically played football in the high school’s stadium.
Yet, at the very end of high school years, we went outside town, and played in a real stadium, with real football gates.
The stadium field was sometimes muddy, but it was huge.
The other team was better than us, yet we won once, and I really remembered that time, it felt like we were on top of the world.
I have other examples, of high school Olympiads and contents, for example, but this memory, of winning a game against a team of generally better players than us, stayed with me.
And, unlike the contests, it was a group memory, typically in contests, it was me against external people. In the game, it was „my team” against „their team”.
My favorite type of luxury is long-lasting products.
The more I use a product, the more important it seems to me to be quality.
Examples: monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers.
I spend a lot of time on my PC, on a chair, and on a bed. I try to have these as comfortable and long-lasting as possible.
My current mattress is fine, I don’t plan to change it, but when I’ll do, I’ll likely consider a better one.
There are some books like „The Sales Bible”, „The Advertising Bible”, things like that.
I want to tell you a different title: „Project Management = Bible”.
What I want to tell is you is that the Bible is actually a Project Management book in itself.
To me, the Bible is like a project management/leadership book.
Yes, it has religious principles, it does have some sort of descriptions and principles that could be considered „definitions” or „introduction to”.
On the other hand, generally, it’s more on how you balance things, how you manage resources, how you relate to limited work.
It’s also inspirational, it might motivate you.
The parables are a perfect example for my two assertions – they’re either case studies or inspirational stories, and you can see how to avoid errors.
In SEO, there are some websites that try to scare you, for traffic purposes.
I know people that keep getting messages from free antivirus software, that their IP is visible, that others can spy through the webcam when not using it etc.
Those people only need basic antivirus and firewall, in order to avoid losing money, stop others from accessing their emails or anything relevant online.
The answer is simple: some free antivirus software actually live from upgrades, that’s their source of money – making people be scared, so they buy a premium solution.
Of course, such software displays aggressive advertisements.
