Why read books? Why go to theatrical plays? Why attend conferences?

Apply Conference MARTIE 2024

Why read books? Why go to theatrical plays? Why attend conferences? – these questions might be silly, but I think there’s a common answer to all of them.

The answer? Even if you can read a book summary, read at your own pace (perhaps faster) a theatrical play, and not attend a long conference, if you do things like these, you might notice things tend to stick.

It’s one thing to quickly go through an article or to have it explained in detail at a conference.

Recomandare restaurant vietnamez București – Toan’s

Testaurant vietnamez București - Toan's

Am mâncat de mai multe ori la Toan’s, alături de alte persoane.

Îmi place mâncarea, îmi place că supa lor principală, de carne de vită cu tăiței, e foarte mare (900 de grame, nu ai nevoie de felul doi).

Îmi mai place personalul – politicos și simpatic.

Am primit în general feedback pozitiv și peste.

Prețurile, pentru un restaurant în București, mi se par medii, poate un pic sub.

Recomand!

Notă – au și farfurii mici, uneori în meniu e doar farfuria mare, dar există și opțiunea mai mică.

Forgetting things and God

Basia Fikszyn - fun fun fun

Sometimes, I forget to do things. Pretty much everyone does the same.

Yet, after such an event, I think, „What if God’s purpose was for me to forget this?”

Sometimes, it’s true—you forget to do one thing, and a greater good results. I think quite a lot: „What could be better than this event?”

Most of the time, I get to this conclusion – „I’m not sure what the greater good is, but it’s a worse situation, from my perspective.”

If you are late for a meeting, some good might arise from this, but most of the time, you miss an opportunity. And the biggest problem is that you don’t know what that opportunity was.

You might not know about this for sure if you make a wrong choice, but you’ll likely discover it after a while.

Generally, sticking to the original plan leads to better things.

But it’s not a foolproof solution, and sometimes the new situation is better and good.

Site suplimente nutritive – iHerb

iHerb.com - Vitamins, Supplements & Natural Health Products

Recomand site-ul iHerb.com – Vitamins, Supplements & Natural Health Products.

Livrează din SUA.

Îl folosesc de mulți ani mai mulți prieteni de-ai mei și sunt încântați de ei.

L-am folosit și eu, ca o recomandare, și mi se pare o ofertă bună.

Vă sugerez să căutați cupoane de reduceri pe Internet, au uneori prețuri mai bune dacă comandați în cantitate mai mare, dar poate să nu fie foarte evident dacă nu știți de promoții.

Prețurile sunt bune, dacă comandați ceva mai mult devin și mai bune.

Sunt încântat de serviciul lor.

Energy and fun

The Phantom of The Opera

I’ve been to some concerts in my life.

I think there are two kinds of concerts:

  • When the artist is energetic, fun, and especially bold.
  • When the artist is just there to do their job.

Even when singing opera, you can be bold and make a show.

But I’ve been disappointed a few times by good voices and little to no energy.

It’s not enough to sing nicely; you need to do extra.

I even remember singers I didn’t especially like before, but I enjoyed their energy.

And, of course, being bold (even a bit over the board) helps.

Out of business

Sometimes, some places go out of business.

Before the current Carrefour in Unirea, there was a store with good prices and a great location, but few customers. It was a pleasure buying in there.

There was a restaurant in Gara de Nord București (Bucharest North Station). It served good food at low prices.

I used to organize some events at Journey Pub, which is close to Piața Romană. It was a very fancy location with unfancy prices.

I used to organize events at Alouette, which is in a very central location, but not too many people knew about it.

Cora hypermarket had good quality but high prices. They sold to Carrefour.

I regret some of the brands above, some less so.

It makes you wonder.

The importance of one person

longreach - People 5498

Everyone sings in an orchestra, but the most essential person tends to be the main singer in front of the orchestra.

On the other hand, the orchestra will sound poorly due to a single person.

In a football team, everyone matters.

“If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” (source and full details: Genesis 18 NIV – The Three Visitors – The LORD appeared – Bible Gateway)

One person is essential. Do your job well!

Knowledge and creativity

I think that you need some knowledge of creativity. You need to know, have experiences, and go places (inside your mind or physically).

It might be a myth that people who are not in the habit of exploring things (internal and external) have good creativity.

Sure, if you take 100 persons and compare the top 10 to the other 90, you might find out that some of the group of 90 have better creativity than the first 10.

But, as a general rule, I think you need knowledge.

It’s not enough – just knowledge; there are other skills – you need to trust your instincts, you need the ability to allow your mind to wander, etc. Some people in the 90-group might fit this description.

All-in-all, I think you need knowledge. And, of course, other skills.

Una dintre cele mai vechi fotografii color din România a fost descoperită în Arhiva de Imagine a Muzeului Național al Țăranului Român

Echipa Arhivei de Imagine a Muzeului Țăranului a descoperit una dintre foarte puținele fotografii color realizate, prin procedeul autocromiei, în spațiul românesc înainte de Primul Război Mondial și conservate până azi. Aceasta este poate singura fotografie color a unui interior de muzeu românesc de la început de secol XX documentată până în prezent – și cu siguranță una dintre foarte puținele imagini cunoscute ale primei expuneri a Muzeului de Artă Națională în localul vechii Monetării de la Șosea (1907-1912).
