manners in business

Many years ago, back in primary school, i was told “what looks good, it is good” regardless of the fact that looking and being can be very different things.

Nevertheless in our society, this concept comes along many times and by looking at something that looks good, we feel it may actually be good – wrong!

The happenning occurred today, i got a very persistent call from an agent, asking me to do something i didnt really want to commit on doing and pushing the errand to the future, but she “politely persistent” so it was becoming really difficult and annoying to shut the conversation and move on. However at the end, i said “look, i am at work, in a meeting and i cant talk, ok?” Even there she asked when it was a better time to call. My goodness, sometimes they just to give up!

body dependencies

After already 3 days bearing a huge back pain, i can only express my tiredness and grief.

This body we are given at birth is truly our sole companion that walks with us along our life’s way.

As youngsters, we may feel we are unbeatable and that can try and do everything we desire as our body is strong, flexible and recovers pretty fast after anysituation in most of the cases.

I am not saying now i am an aged fellow, i am on my mid thirties (34 in a couple of months) but certain time this body dependence that we have makes us feel much older, just as i am feeling right because of the physical challenges I am facing these days.

The moral in all this, at least for me, is to keep a balanced life among family, work, sport and food, the proper combination of all these four factors should help you keep your body companion fit and somehow more independent

Scary times!

it does not fail to surprise the current affairs around the world. The chaos is only starting, the irony in all of it is the terrible weather and climate conditions that are taking certain areas by storm.

Insurance companies going bust, banks trembling because of liquidity issues, the whole world is suffering one of the strongest crisis ever and still certain Mass Media are informing about the skirt a particular lady is wearing, or the importance of a soccer coach about a stupid match he does not remember.

To my eyes, this is clear misinformation and to some extent manipulation of current events, reality or whatever you wish to call it.

If you look, listen and go around, you will perceive that something wrong is happening to the world. The whole global economy is shaking and so are the local smaller economies. In terms of climate it is more of the same story, even the Pope is saying bizarre things these days (well, Bennedicte has always been anyway…) but the whole point is that ladies and gentlemen, we should step back a bit and have a look at the world where we live and that OUR CHILDREN will inherit from us.

Violence is a #1 topic as well, kids are dying to play at the Grand theft Auto games for instance, because the reality, vividness and emotions, most probably are things that in the “real” non virtual world are each day more diffifuclt to sense.

with this small pondering i leave now.
