“Reading is a basic tool in living of a good life.” – Joseph Addison
Reading can be difficult. It takes time, it takes an effort of the mind, and a will to do it.
But, despite this, it can be a rather cheap solution to improve your life.
As for myself, I’m trying to read some things, only to find that I end up in front of the TV, a lot of times.
“Omul să fie mulțumit cu sărăcia sa, căci, dacă e vorba, nu bogăția, ci liniștea colibei tale te face fericit”. – Ioan Slavici, “Moara cu noroc”
Îmi place atât de mult citatul acesta!
Poți fi și fericit, și și împlinit pe mai multe planuri.
Este bine să îți îndeplinești planurile pe partea financiară? Da, desigur.
Dar să ai și contra-balansul, să știi că și dacă nu îți atingi obiectivele financiare, poți fi OK și împlinit, nu e singurul indicator.
La finalul zilei, e bine să fii mulțumit și împăcat.
I tend not to read what do others say about companies before joining them.
So, if, theoretically, I were to apply to Microsoft, I wouldn’t go on forums where people share insights on what’s inside (besides Pentium).
Why so?
I find that it’s rather easy to send a large file via Google Drive, or another solution. Most of them are free and offer good upload/download speeds.
On the other hand, I see people using services that allow people to use services (I won’t name them) that allow sending of tens of GBs (gigabytes) of data.
The downside? The download speed is very slow, it takes hours to download a few GBs of data.
Why do people prefer this?
It’s easier to send files via such services than to use Google Drive / One Drive / Dropbox / other services.
But that “easy” comes with a drawback – slow speed.
Mica publicitate: “Tânăr arătos, situație materială excepțională, post de mare răspundere, relații bune, două mașini, casa, vila în Caraibe. Nu caut nimic, doar mă laud.”
“Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money.” – Nat Friedman, former CEO of GitHub
It’s good to have the ability to do critical thinking, to analyze and debate.
On the other hand, if you wish to start a new project, to begin from scratch, it’s better to be an optimist.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams
I like this quote a lot.
“A leader is a person who has followers.” – Jim Bagnola
You can inspire others in many ways.
Force is not inspiration, though.
