Review: "Confesiunile unui cafegiu", de Gheorghe Florescu (ed. Humanitas) – una din cele mai frumose cărți pe care le-am citit!

Am citit recent cartea d-lui Gheorghe Florescu – Confesiunile unui cafegiu. D-l Florescu este deținătorul rețelei de cafenele Delicatese Florescu (cea mai cunoscută e cea din zona Pieței Rosetti, dar mai sunt și altele). Este una din cele mai frumoase lecturi recente.

(Half-) Intelligent decisions

I was very young when this happened: I was with a friend (her name was Mihaela), she was much older than me. At one point, we saw a big group of people. We went a few steps in that direction, to see what was going on. At some point, Mihaela covered my eyes, so I would not see. I think I heard some screaming. I did not understand much, perhaps someone committed suicide, or something of this sort happened. I was unsure, we went from there, I think listened to her command not to look. A lot of time I thought about this scene, wondering what has happened.

Did Mihaela do good?

When you buy a product, should you buy it after only seeing it online, or should you go to a store to view it, and only then buy it?

Let’s say you want to buy something. You can’t decide whether it suffice to buy the product online, or you should see the actual product in store, test it for a while. I talk in this article on tips on how to buy a computer case, a mouse, a keyboard, a CPU, a case fan, a backpack for a photo camera, some electronic cords, some headsets, a flat TV and a computer monitor. I also give basic criteria on what to look for on any of these products. I use, for my research and example, only amazon.com. I also give links to some reviews I made during the past years for some products I mention in this article. The article has both a video and a text version, they tend to complement each other well.

Let’s proceed then.

Life’s solution

Sacrifice & pain. That’s the only solution. It needs to be hard to work.

It would be best if, prior to reading the current article, you would read Despre ură. Pe plan personal (eu urăsc) și global (societatea te îndeamnă la ură) – cel mai bun articol pe care l-am scris vreodată și de ce acest lucru e irelevant » Oliii.com – by Olivian Breda.

How to buy a product online with a quick research only?

I talk in this video about how to buy a product (the solution being to have a quick look on the biggest sellers online, and get quick product information from there). I previously wrote on the subject in Romanian: Cum găsești rapid ce produs să cumperi, din mai multe opțiuni?: Olivian Breda.

The faults of spirituality-seeking

I put people into boxes. A quote from Rand Fishkin (“Stereotyping becomes mathematically more dangerous the more people you meet.” » Oliii.com – by Olivian Breda):

“Stereotyping becomes mathematically more dangerous the more people you meet.”

See some articles on the boxes I put on people:

It actually all started with Orthodoxy:

I know people who are interested into the spiritual things. From Yoga to shamanism, from various religions to angel philosophies, from Eastern spirituality to Western one. OK, so what’s the fault of spirituality?
