Gheorghe Hagi: Vezi o fată… te uiți la ea – o vezi dar după aia? te uiți la ea – trebuie să vezi ce e înăuntru … wow!
Desiderata – Max Ehrmann, 1948
“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to …

OMG – ONG!!!
Mai jos, câteva idei de-ale mele pe tema ONG-urilor – cum aș gestiona eu un ONG? (organizație non-guvernamentală)
Nu caut să am dreptate cu tot ce zic aici, caut doar să dau idei.
Follow-up: Dr. Stelian Gomboș: Vizită șantier Așezământ “Sf. Ier. Nectarie” (Cihei, com. Sânmărtin, Bihor) – realizat de Fundația “Mihai Neșu” (2022.08.19)
Dr. Stelian Gomboș: Din mila lui Dumnezeu și din dragostea câtorva oameni frumoși, în frunte cu Mihai Neșu, am vizitat în 19.08.2022 șantierul Așezământului “Sfântul Ierarh Nectarie” din localitatea Cihei, comuna Sânmartin, județul Bihor, realizat de către Fundația “Mihai Neșu”, șantier alcătuit dintr-o frumoasă biserică și alte construcții.
Construcția lăcașului de cult se apropie de finalizare. Biserica va avea hramurile „Buna Vestire” și „Sfântul Ier. Ioan de Shanghai și San Francisco”.
Peste două milioane de euro au fost investite în edificarea Centrului de recuperare „Sfântul Nectarie”, estimările indicând faptul că va mai fi nevoie de încă 1,7 milioane de euro pentru a putea finaliza lucrările și pentru a acoperi diferențele de sume cauzate de scumpirile materialelor de construcție.
Cei care doresc să susțină financiar construirea Complexului de recuperare din Cihei o pot face direct pe site-ul fundației.
Mai jos, imagini de la eveniment.
Action and inaction
“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.” ― Thomas Jefferson
“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” ― Sun Tzu
“There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.” ― Bill Watterson
I have lots of plans, I plan to do lots of things. Rarely do I have time for most plans I make.
What I noticed is that the more things I do, the more opportunities arise.
And, also, that I want to do some silly things, perhaps not even worth doing in the first place.
Your financial investor profile
There’s a personal development speaker in Romania (focused on financial investments) who really pushes determining your personal profile, and based on that profile, you could make a realistic investment strategy.
The issue? Most people don’t start with investing a fortune. As far as I see it, it’s better to just start investing and see how you respond to things.
Are you good with handling rent for a property you invested in?
Do dividends for the company you bought shares at come with a good ratio?
Just splitting 20-30-50 between three main assets is not, in my opinion, the best choice, and just letting life (and mistakes, of course) do their course is the way to go.
My main issue with the principle “from personality we’ll determine an investor profile” is that there are a lot of unknowns – how will you handle a real estate? Do you like the stress of the Stock Exchange? Would you prefer investing in small businesses?
Mistrusting love
As I see it, there are two types of romantic love:
- One in which you admire the other person, you put it on a high place and look up at it; in here, you offer everything but require nothing back;
- One in which you’re equal but require trust and equal rights for equal pay.
I’m not much of an expert in this, but I do think 1. is preferable.
There are some memes on the Internet with “Find someone to love as much as person/entity X loves/looks at Y.” And they show a photo of someone/some animal looking at something with a lot of interest.
The issue with this unconditional, not require anything back, type of love is that it might be a symptom of something deep – not being loved, not knowing what being loved is, not understanding love.
Some say that you need to feel loved in order to be able to love others.
While this certainly sounds nice, I don’t view this as a requirement. Good to have? Sure. Mandatory? No.
On newsletters
Adding temporary offers in a newsletter is not, to me, ideal. As a reader, I tend to read newsletters once every few days.
Opening a newsletter and noticing an expiring offer – that doesn’t sound so good.
Also, if you tell me, “Write to me, this is a personal message,” I do write back, and then you don’t reply – that’s not very nice.
As far as I can tell, newsletters are more difficult to read than a blog/news site via RSS.
Some people add this text: “Subscribe to my newsletter to download X.” There are two major drawbacks to this:
- You decrease the trust others have in your brand, as you do a rather shady thing as a general principle; you ask for people’s mail without them being sure they’ll be treated nicely;
- Your audience will mostly consist of people who are too lazy to unsubscribe. I wouldn’t want an audience formed mostly of these people.
Why end your newsletter with a quote? If you have a lot of links in your newsletter, some people might open them all in tabs (perhaps using an extension like Snap links for Firefox / Chrome). While they wait for the tabs to load, they could read your quote and reflect on it.
It matters a lot to have a good subject line. People focus a lot on crafting a good newsletter, but the subject line matters a lot.
