Moving from invisible to visible things

Ultimele zile de înscrieri Early Bird cu discount-uri cuprinse între 40 și 70 EUR la GPeC SUMMIT Online – Evenimentul Anului în E-Commerce & Digital Marketing

It is important to be able to move from invisible to visible things. It’s important to be able to make this transfer.

For example, when you donate (my example, not his), or when you save, or when you have insurance.

It can be tempting to order a variety of products from Amazon in one order to reduce your shipping costs.

From personal experience, it is preferable to order relatively few products per order.

And, if possible, do not mix products sold by Amazon with third parties in a single order. It’s unpleasant to order again.

Health Tech Without Borders. Leaflets for Ukrainian citizens

de
Health Tech Without Borders. Leaflets for Ukrainian citizens

We prepared 3 leaflets about Telehealth platforms which work full scale. Viveo, Doctor Online, and Helping Hand. All leaflets are in the Ukrainian Language with one sentence in English.

The leaflets are A4 format, to be easier to print.

If you can by yourself, or you know somebody who can print and post them in refugees camps, centers, immigration offices, customs, schools, etc. – that would be just great. It can be in your country or in other European countries.

Choosing the best products

de
Terry Hassan - Turkish Products

It’s not easy to become the best, to have the best, and so on.

It looks easy – I want the best services/products. It’s not.

If you want a good screen monitor, you can look at prices and buy an Apple monitor, but that’s not necessarily the best.

If you want a good computer keyboard, you might get an expensive mechanical keyboard, but there might be better deals.

The most expensive mouse/phone/mattress/chair might not be a good fit for you.

This doesn’t mean that you should always buy the cheapest products.

What it means is that if you’re looking for something good, you need to do a bit of research.

Some feedback, some sales, some recommendations, some ratings – all of this helps.

But you still need to do your research.

A comparison: „Mad Max: Fury Road” vs. „Kill Bill: Vol. 1/2”

de
On "Kill Bill", Vol. 1 (2003), & 2 (2004). What a movie!

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):

  • Both are visually stunning.
  • Kill Bill is much more bloody.
  • Mad Max is almost entirely made of action.
  • Kill Bill has a better script.
  • The music is great, though it’s different.
  • I like both of them a lot.
  • Both have great actors and directors. Quentin Tarantino is more known than George Miller.

On convents

de
pelerinaj la Mănăstirea Prislop (Mormântul Părintelui Arsenie Boca) și alte mănăstiri (2021.10.23-24)

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.

Bad people

de
"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going." - Beverly Sills

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.

Selling and up-selling

de
Suzanne Vega

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.
