I personally created this book for my 3-years-old daughter and I recommended it to very young children that are just starting to learn their ABCs.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Your kids can:<br />– learn and colour the letters of the ABC;<br />– learn and colour animals associated with each letter of the ABC;<br />– learn some basic information about each animal in the book;<br />– colour & design the names of each animal;<br />– 57 full page images and letters to colour;</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As a bonus, I included:<br />– 1 full page/poster with all the letters of the alphabet to colour;<br />– 1 full page/poster with all the letters of the alphabet to learn.</div>
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Take a Look Inside to see the images of the entire book!</span><br />

Another lesson for today:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. 'Self Esteem' strategy: Remember how Jim's dad helped him with his job hunt?<br />
Jim was down with 'rejection shock'. Ten straight rejections had belted his self esteem.<br />
<br />
'Jim' - his dad said 'How would you feel if I gave you 10 lottery tickets and told you that you have a 99% chance of winning?'<br />
'Great!'<br />
'But, what if you didn't win any of the 10?'<br />
'I'd feel very unlucky. And bad.'<br />
'What if I now told you that the real odds are 76 million to one?'<br />
'I guess it wouldn't affect me much!'<br />
<br />
'Well, statistics say you go through 49 No's before you get a Yes in a job hunt. It looks like:<br />
No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No<br />
No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No<br />
No No No No No No No No No Yes'<br />
<br />
Jim's father had learnt that our self esteem takes a knock when we 'assume' everyone else is winning. And Jim did feel much better after that.<br />
<br />
This week, let's remember the masters of failures - Col Sanders and Edison when we fail and take heart from their eventual success.<br />
<i>Source/ recommedation: What Color Is your Parachute by Richard Bolles</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
This lesson refers, as well, to my previous article about "Addiction to Failure". It is a great lesson to learn ... especially that NO its not always a final answer and it should not be. Keep trying and learn from mistakes. I really like the following videos that I start listening to every day!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are one of those telling
yourself the same thing over and over again, but never acting upon the things
you say you want doing…then believe me, you´re not the only one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">There are so many articles and books
offering you the “right” advice or way to do things better, but there is no
better way than the one coming right from your heart…the will power or the true
motivation that comes from YOU! … And not from the feeling of believing that it
is accurate what others may advice you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

motivational books, I even listen to audios whenever I find the right time for
it but I always end up doing the same wrong things over and over again. I
always end up finding a good reason of why some advices may not work for me or
why I cannot just apply them to my life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

procrastination. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

time I start doing something better; I end up being in the same place I was
before starting it. And that is not because I do not want to do it better but
because I lack self-discipline, commitment and motivation. And that´s the case
whenever one wants something but never end up having it the same way one
imagines it from the beginning. It’s all just a lamentation!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

this thing and I realized something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Few years ago I stopped eating meat.
It was a sudden decision that I just didn´t want to eat meat anymore. I called
it that way and people around me start calling me a vegetarian. Entirely, I am
not a vegetarian, and I always try to make people aware of the fact that I do
eat anything else but meat and I do not call myself vegetarian … but anyway, I
let myself being labeled this way for the solely reason of stop arguing about
this topic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The lesson from this story is simple.
When I decided to stop eating meat, I just made a simple decision that I
believed in. I did not tell myself I want not to eat meat or that I want to try
or that I want to stop eating meat, there was no argue about it, it was just a simple
decision. And the weird thing was that I never struggle thinking to start
eating meat again. I just feel I do not need it anymore. 4 years ago, I made
that decision and it is still a valid one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Few days ago it just hit me! When I
took that decision 4 years ago, I had a clear vision about my decision, I knew
why I want to do it, I had a reason behind it which build a strong motivation
inside me. I suddenly developed a need for self-discipline, commitment and
motivation. That is the reason I succeeded it and still do. And that should be applicable
to anything else, to any other decisions one takes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It’s like an addiction. I remember one
good friend of mine telling me a story of how she gave up smoking. The story
was similar to mime. She, one day wake up and told herself she does not need
cigars anymore. She committed herself to stop smoking, and she did! With no
struggle, no procrastination, no regrets! She was committed, motivated … with a
purpose ahead, she just knew it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">And that is what defines a success! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

something whenever we procrastinate! I think I can call it addiction! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

self-destruction, to lamentations; we are addicted to specific behavioral
patterns that stop us being who we want to be. And until, we don´t realize this
and don´t accepted it, there is nothing which can help us. No plan, no advice,
no book or program will work because we are not committing to what we want to
change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

which one find itself, and through which one has to pass, to get the results
needed/wanted. People who are addicted to certain things (such as alcohol,
drugs, sugar or anything else) find it very difficult to get rid of that
addiction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

thought of – may be limited but feel free to add new ones in the comments) of
people dealing with addiction: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the people who <u>know for sure to have an addiction</u>, <u>they accept it as

against it without necessary failing but there is a constant struggle to keep them
motivated. That´s a little bit similar category next to the one above, the
people from stage 5 trying to enter the stage 6. They <b>lack the self-discipline</b> (they just learn how hard it is to
discipline themselves, to stick to the plan and build on the routine they need
in order to succeed). Maybe, the problem I see is the fact that there is a <b>lack of commitment</b> as well. There is no
exact vision of why one wants doing something. No purpose!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

are the people who <u>know for sure to have an addiction</u>, they <u>acknowledge
it</u> and they develop such a <u>strong will to let it go</u> that it just
disappear. They know exactly why they have to stop it and they purely decide
for themselves that that is not good for them and just stop it. After taking
that decision, there is no need to struggle or fight against it anymore…it is
just like a thing that disappears. They just know they don´t want it anymore
and the motivation, the will is what gives them this power. They are the ones
who created first a vision, a purpose, they are self-disciplined and committed,
and they have a motivation to fight for! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

transformation, stop doing the things you´ve been doing until now, things that
have been holding you back, the things that were wrong doing it from the beginning.

a change, I have to start competing with a better me; I have to want to be
better and learn from my mistakes. There is nothing else I can do. One cannot
just wait for a miracle to happen; one cannot just wait until the perfect moment
appears. There is no perfect moment. There is only the present that one has to
use to create a better future. There is no better future by just finding
reasons not to do things or to find guilty people to blame for ones mistakes or
failures. There is always a way to explain a situation…we all pass through
rough situations, the only difference that defines us is the way we choose to
act in the situations we are at. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

better, positive routine for yourself and if you want to commit to that, start
with spending most of your time with the right people, because that is (or
should be) your source of inspiration and motivation. Invest your time with
people worth enough to inspire you and motivate you to be a better person, to
be yourself. People, who hold you back from achieving your greatness, are not
the right people for you. The right ones, are those who never give up on you
when you most need them, are the ones who will never hold you back from being
you, are the ones who will always support you and always have a shoulder to cry
on when you need to, unconditionally. The right people are the bright and the
brave ones to motivate you to go on, to never give up, no matter what!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

commit to solving them. The true thing, it is not the problems that
defines one person, but the way that person reacts to the problem and recovers
from them. Problems will not disappear unless one takes actions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

facing that problem, commit to yourself to do better! Make a decision of why
you need to change, why you want to change, why that it is a better way to go
through life, then just procrastinating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hi,<br />
<br />
every Monday morning I get an e-mail with updates from RealAcad with short "Lessons" that I find extremely inspiring. That is why I want to start sharing these lessons with you, the readers of this Blog. I hope it inspires you and help you take positive actions in your life.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
1. <span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px;">'Mandela'</span> strategy: Remember the story of Nelson Mandela requesting a new table in his prison cell?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
In prison, Mandela used his lawyer background to provide consultations to his visitors. Outside his prison cell, Colonel Aucamp would pace up and down in rage. Once, Mandela went up to Aucamp and said politely, 'You know these people send me so much work... and the table that I have in my cell is shaky. Could I please have another table?'<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
The response of Aucamp was bombastic: 'Mandela, you are no longer a lawyer in your office to give orders. You are a prisoner. And we will do what we have to. You can't order us about.'</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
Nelson looked at him and said, 'Have you finished, Colonel?' He said, 'Yes.'</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
Nelson returned to his old desk, sat down and continued with the consultation as if nothing had happened.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
Later, he came back from his lunch break, and with a little smile that said, 'Guess what, there's a brand new table in my cell.'</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">

This week, let's remember that we too can persuade effectively with our good behavior.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 17px;">In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry, and is generally considered to have been a bad move. - Douglas Adams</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 17px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 17px;">:)</span><br />
<br />
I find this lesson inspiring because I believe, the way I sometimes deal with things or people is exactly the reverse...which in most of the time, would either make people react worse then expected or turn the situation up side down. Wrapped up in our daily frustrations and worries, we sometimes forget to care. This fact does not help any side of any kind of relationship but as I personally experience, it gets worse. I have to admit that learning from this lesson or at least trying to implement this lesson in my life, may be really helpful.<br />
<br />
I have to remember that demanding helps not winning but loosing.<br />

All best,<br />

<br />
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br />
It strikes me like a needle in my skin any time I see people getting lost in
front of their Facebook page, looking like zombies. It gives me that image of
hypnotized people, people hypnotized into something they think its utmost
important and necessary – socialization. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I think Facebook´s meaning
lost that limit of only being social, communicative, kept in touch with good
lost friends who would never say ´hi´ if luckily met them on the street. Now
Facebook reached the level of supremacy where it succeeded to keep people
trapped in their own mind, in their own cage.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">For me, a non Facebook user,
while surrounded by people addicted to Facebook, seems sometimes like having
the power stopping the time and getting the chance watching them get
lost into that fantasy world. They do not even realize you´re watching them
because they lose track of reality, they don´t even know when the time passed
by … the only thing it wakes them up, it’s A ´tragedy´.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">What ´tragedy´ may mean here?
Either they get <u>dehydrated</u> and wake up to reach for a glass of
water - water being the best case scenario if not getting ´drunk´ with the most
´precious´ and expensive killing drink like Coke or any other kind of today´s
Soda or the other ´tragedy´ meaning they <u>starve</u> and look for
anything they can reach ASAP – no matter what that is. Unfortunately there is
no other meaning of ´tragedy´ in here, for me. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And getting back to `Zombie`
term, Wikipedia gives this following definition: <b>Zombie</b> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Creole" title="Haitian Creole">Haitian
Creole</a>: <i>zonbi</i>; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Mbundu_language" title="North Mbundu language">North Mbundu</a>: <i>nzumbe</i>) is a term
used to denote an animated corpse brought back to life by mystical means
such as witchcraft; often figuratively applied to describe
a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet
ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli (in my described case:
dehydration or starvation) … Yep, not that far away from this definition, or?</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Facebook addiction calls for
a ´AA´ session!</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Sometimes
I get bored watching them; sometimes it makes me angry, and sometimes jealous.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I
finally know what real jealousy means. There is no difference in seeing good
friends getting ´trapped´ in other people’s heads and souls or getting
´trapped´ in front of their Facebook page. </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">They
stop having ´real´ time for you or for anything non Social Media related. They
forget what really matters, especially for you as a person; they could send you
a ´poke´ but not a ´real´ flower, they could send you a game invite but not an
invite outside in ´real´ life.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">They
stop remembering small</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <b>details</b> <span class="apple-style-span">followed by
more important things, until they stop remembering you. They forget who you are
in reality, what your needs are in reality, what your wishes and desires are.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">They
will soon remember</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <u>only</u> <span class="apple-style-span">that they
forget to update their Facebook page.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And
if that´s no tragedy ... I don´t think the classics knew what really tragedy
means when talking about or defining "the Tragedy" in their already
almost forgotten creations!</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Ah!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 16px;">Learning does not always mean learning from books
or being educated by an institution or person; learning is also a way of
adapting to constant new life experiences, taking lessons out of every experience, learning from
others, learning from people´s successes or failures, learning from your own </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 14px;">successes or failures</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Most of the time for me, the best lessons are
those taken from life experiences and from people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I learned a lot in schools, I learned a lot in the
working environment and from books, but the most valuable lessons are the ones
learned from mistakes, from failures, from successes and the ones taken from
people around me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Having great people around me, choosing the right
ones and keeping them close it is not always an easy task but as I always say: “It
is possible” With little effort, everything is possible – it´s all about
choices. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Who you are today is defined by the choices you took
in the past and if you don´t like who you are today, then make conscious
choices for changing something in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This week I feel like I could talk about a lot of
things but when starting to write down, there is nothing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I though felt good this week
sharing with very good friends, opinions and advices about life and people. I
learned that no matter how good I think I am, I´m never good enough to stop
learning. I have met friends I wish I could take them with me back home or
sometimes I wish I could bring home in here. I thought I learned that I want to
be in only one place and I thought I know where that place is, but it all
changed when I less expected. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I always want something new but having something new
does not always mean really having it. It´s weird how all this happen;
sometimes is even difficult to stop feeling weird bout how all can turn around
and change my life ´almost´ completely … but that´s life right? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Learning and just knowing the things, it´s not
enough and will never be enough. That is why with every learning experience WE
change, we move in different directions, we shift from unknown to known … but
while being in the known does not always mean we do know the known. We have to
start over … again and again … learn new things, adapt and move one; learn new
things, adapt and move one; learn new things … … it never stops!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fact that I was lucky enough to be born and grow up in a place where the access

really opened my vision, my perspective in life and I start seeing things

life is limited, that life is unfair and that the way people live their life is
by just accepting living it the way the whole community does. I never felt free
enough to be myself and do things the way I thought is worth doing it. And that
is because I never find it possible or even acceptable. I used to live in a
small community where people care a lot about what others think on everyone
else. You do have the choice to be different but you never choose to be
different because you are afraid of criticism, of people thinking you are
wrong; and I do not mean people thinking you are wrong by what you say or do
but by the way you are. I used to care a lot! …<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What really changed me
was the fact that I now see the world as a whole and stop seeing it as a small
box. My community, the place I was living in, was the small box. I never dared
to think out of that box. But not necessary because I was banned by doing so,
but because even people living there their whole life, never want to see
outside the box or never dare, or even think that there is a whole new world
outside that little box. When you do break through, when you start seeing the
whole world as being your community, you realize you have access to more
options, to choices, to experiences that can change you completely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

living outside my little box and I start learning, I start growing, I start not
only improving but understanding myself. I do not criticize my life anymore,
instead I understand it better. People, who feel trapped in a single place, are
people who do not want to break through the little box. This step of taking a
stand and start thinking outside of the box is sometimes scary and really
challenging. But what would life be without challenges?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you´re so lucky” is what people usually use to excuse their own life or
choices…that being the unforgettable phrase that most of the people is using
it. Not that this is bad, but it is bad when they continue with beliefs like:
“but I can´t do it … I am not so lucky” … I so much don´t like it when people
say that. Most would think that I am and have what I have just because I am
lucky! That´s so wrong people! That is because I made choices that secured
these outcomes. It’s always about choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in Indonesia … in the great little paradise, in Bali. I came here with work but
it feels sometimes more holiday than work. But I do not want to talk in this
article about work … I want to talk about how a place like Bali can change you
a lot. Maybe it is not only because of Bali, but because of all combined
experiences I have had until this time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

somewhere, I get that instinct of seeing the world differently. Of really
experiencing changes that questions my way of defining and judging live. I
always learned something new from my experiences and this one is one of the
experiences placed on the top of all I have ever had. When I mean Bali, I mean
People, Culture, Traditions, Life Style, People, Food, Religion and Beliefs,
People … oh I did mention People … but at the end, all of these are created,
respected and given forward by People! It´s all about that in my
perspective!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I suppose you heard
about the “OCEAN” concept on Personality traits? About the Big Five factors and
their constituent traits summarized as “OCEAN”? (Psychology stuff!) … Well, I´m
approaching this concept because I believe that when it comes to Balinese
People, they are the TOP achievers in mastering all these traits. The “OCEAN”
concept derives from Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness
and Neuroticism. I don’t want to go too deep into explaining psychology but in
short I believe that Balinese people know very well how to combine and master
well most of these traits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When it comes to their
culture, they are very open and efficient, they show a lot of appreciation
toward art, toward emotions and adventures, toward variety and the efficient
part speaks to the way of showing self-discipline toward all the above. When it
comes to their community, they are and act like a big family, they are
energetic and full with positive emotions, and they are compassionate and very
cooperative toward others, especially towards member in their own community but
also foreigners. This culture is one of the single cultures I´ve been living
in, where as a foreigner I feel very protected, respected and welcomed. And I lived
in many different cultures, foreign countries in Europe. I never felt like
this, not even in my own country!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Here people are simple,
most of them are poor but what I love about them is that they never feel poor.
Because being poor here means something different then back in Europe. In
Europe, being poor means not having enough financial resources based on which
to make life enjoyable; in Indonesia, at least here in Bali, people don´t care
that much about their financial situation but about life in general: they make
sure they have good relationships with each other, with their community, with
their Gods, they make sure they inspire and offer love to people around them,
they believe that BEING HUMAN is being RICH, rather than being rich by having
money. Once a very good local friend told me that she knows people here that
own lots of properties and make lot of money but working as taxi drivers. And
that is because they care about what they do as a profession and if that kind
of work makes then happy, they choose it. Here people don´t spend money on
THINGS as much as they spend on making sure they are healthy and happy,
spending on making sure they enrich their life with love and joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In Europe, we care so
much about what other people think about us, we care so much on having as much
money as possible, but we forget to care being humans, being careful with each
others, we forget SHARING, and so it is how we lose our soul. We spend our
whole life fighting and reaching to be rich and famous … but what for?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Actually, I believe that
no matter how rich or famous we may become, we will always fight for more and
more and more. There is never going to be a limit because there is no limit we
set for ourselves or because there is no limit people expect us to reach. We
and people around us will always expect more…always!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

greater than this lesson I learned from people of Bali, from Indonesians? Maybe
more lessons to come, for sure … but this is a lesson I want to adopt for
myself! This can be a lesson of sharing, maybe inspiring others as well </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span>J</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I was questioning myself when and if there is a need for addressing complexity to what we call meaning. What is meaning and what does it understand and relate to? I try to find a way I can express meaning into my life but in general as a purpose of existence withing this unlimited universe. Is meaning purpose? And I am not interested in definitions. I can pick up a dictionary and find an answer to this question but that will represent only one opinion addressed by somebody with a complex mind of defining words. But words are just words. In different languages they have no meaning, if we do not understand or know their translation. <br /><br />What does purpose mean in terms of meaning and what does meaning has to do with purpose. When I think about purpose, the only think it comes into my mind is usability. Think about a cup. Why do we need a cup and what is its usability. I am sure you are rich in ideas and explanation when thinking or just imagining a cup. <br /><br />Think now about you. I think about me and try to reach the purpose of usability in terms of my existence and I end up getting too confused. Everybody is talking about success and failure, I talk about this things, too. But I conclude by thinking that purpose has nothing to do with success of failure. Purpose is something undefinable or maybe I did not found mine so I can define it. <br /><br />I am still searching , searching and searching...but no answer.<br /><br />We never end up asking ourselves this questions so often, are we? We live as if we have to know all the question related to materialism and knowledgeable things but we very seldom ask ourselves what we know about our own purpose. We know who did what, we know what means what, we know when, who, whom, what, whose, how ... but we do not know the basics of meaning, of purpose. Does my life has meaning? Is my life full of purpose? Do I relate my experience to the purpose? Do I connect my actions to the meaning? <br /><br />And now you will ask ... but why? I ask myself this question. But why? But why do I have to know the meaning? But why is purpose important? I have though no answer. That is what I am searching for. Is purpose meaningful? is meaning having a purpose?<br /><br />I hope so ...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892851902805303836.post-38320087246928576282010-11-04T11:40:00.000+01:002010-11-05T15:00:42.168+01:00there is being a wish for all of us, a wish to come true.<br />there is being a BE for all of us, a BE to live it.<br />not what you´ve been, not what you will be or what you wish to be but the NOW BE!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892851902805303836.post-20542124960140998102010-11-03T11:33:00.000+01:002010-11-05T15:00:21.813+01:00if there is something to be grateful for is being grateful for being.<br />if there is something to be happy for is being happy for just being.<br />if there is something to feel joy about is feeling joy for being.<br />if there should be something more grateful than being than let it be.<br />if there is something to make you feel alive, allow yourself to be whoever you want to be, whatever you dream to be ... just being .... just being does not hurtUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892851902805303836.post-22070369005063277122010-11-02T19:03:00.002+01:002010-11-02T19:06:40.643+01:00The Top 5 Laziest Inventions (Random Hilarity)<object width="450" height="344" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="videojugplayer"><param name="movie" value="http://www.videojug.com/player?id=e1e80508-f790-aae1-f0bd-ff0008ca72b6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.videojug.com/player?id=e1e80508-f790-aae1-f0bd-ff0008ca72b6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="344" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.videojug.com/tag/random-hilarity">Random Hilarity</a>: <br /><a href="http://www.videojug.com/film/the-top-5-laziest-inventions">The Top 5 Laziest Inventions</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892851902805303836.post-53614279820465599832010-10-29T06:41:00.000+02:002010-10-29T06:41:05.978+02:00Tehnici de hipnoza: concepte fundamentale (I)<a href="http://www.empower.ro/inteligenta-emotionala/tehnici-de-hipnoza-concepte-fundamentale-i/">Tehnici de hipnoza: concepte fundamentale (I)</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892851902805303836.post-62208820659255866042010-10-26T11:49:00.002+02:002010-10-26T20:10:19.230+02:00What do you know about Romania?<div class="prezi-player"><style type="text/css" media="screen">.prezi-player { width: 425px;

Ideea de a emigra este vazuta de multi ca o promisiune a realizarii personale. Bani mai multi, salarii mai mari, conditii mai avantajoase, fructificarea studiilor, aprecierea muncii si recunoasterea abilitatilor. Acestea sunt coordonatele care ii determina pe tinerii din Bacau sa considere ca a urma o facultate in afara este reteta garantata pentru succes. Noi va oferim doar câteva exemple.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">“Cetatenia româna nu o sa le dea de mâncare copiilor mei”</span><br /><br />Bogdana Elena Budianu a terminat profilul uman de Filologie Bilingv Engleza la Colegiul National "Vasile Alecsandri" din Bacau “si ca multi umanisti care au urmat acest gen de profil, am realizat ca orizontul meu nu e foarte deschis aici, in România. Asa ca am aplicat pentru un colegiu din Anglia”, ne-a spus sincer. Si-a dorit un viitor "satisfacator", macar, daca nu stralucit. Cum a ales tocmai Anglia? “A venit la noi in liceu un grup de studenti, care la rândul lor au aplicat in afara tarii, printr-un program numit «Studying Abroad». Promovau studiatul in afara. Ne-au exemplificat avantajele acestui pas. Fiind curioasa de fire, m-am interesat si am cântarit avantajele unei facultati din România cu ale unui colegiu din Anglia. Colegiul englez a inclinat cel mai mult balanta”, continua. A urmat apoi un program educational de consiliere in Bucuresti, la "Shakespeare School", in decembrie, pentru destinatia UK, unde i s-au aratat pasii spre aceasta sansa. Anglia i-a oferit si profilul dorit: acela de Advertising, PR and Media, care ii ofera si posibilitatea de a munci pe timpul studiilor, pentru a câstiga banii necesari sa se intretina in timpul facultatii. “Invatamântul din România da gres prin simplul fapt ca se axeaza pe teorie mai mult decât pe practica si imaginatie. Oare Guvernul României nu s-a gândit niciodata de ce America si Anglia câstiga mai multi studenti români anual decât noi? Un student care termina o facultate in afara poate avea o oarecare experienta in acel domeniu si are o sansa mai mare de a se angaja decât unul care termina o facultate la noi in tara. Aici nu esti angajat decât daca ai experienta? Daca abia ai terminat facultatea, de unde sa ai experienta? Daca investesc in viitor, cum se lauda, care e acela? De somer?”, s-a intrebat retoric Bogdana.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Avantaje financiare</span><br /><br />Recunoaste ca nu a fost o mare olimpica, nu a excelat in nimic special care sa-i aduca un venit sigur in viitor, dar acum simte ca va fi o studenta dornica de nou si de munca, singurele ei atuuri fiind sociabilitatea si puterea de convingere. Singurul dezavantaj al acestei oportunitati este taxa anuala, “care, desi este redusa la 3.290 de lire sterline pentru faptul ca ne-am integrat in Uniunea Europeana, tot este foarte mare pentru un român. Dar se pare ca Guvernul Marii Britanii s-a gândit si la aceasta problema si ofera imprumuturi, pe care le poti plati dupa terminarea facultatii, cu o singura conditie – sa ai un salariu de peste 15.000 de lire sterline pe an, din care ti se va lua un procent de 9 la suta”, explica. Conditiile impuse de facultatile la care a aplicat, Middlesex University si University of Northampton era sa promoveze Bacalaureatul cu cel putin nota 8. A urmat apoi si un examen la limba engleza (Cambdrige/ IELTS/ Toefl) care a demonstrat capacitatea ei de a intelege, de a scrie, de a vorbi si a citi in engleza. “Având in vedere ca nu sunt singura care stie despre aceasta sansa sunt convinsa ca si alti tineri vor fugi de România. Daca nu se va face ceva in privinta asta, va avea loc o noua «Retragere Aureliana», aceea a studentilor. Nu voiam sa plec din Bacau, din tara. Sunt mândra de nationalitatea mea, dar cetatenia romana nu o sa le dea de mâncare copiilor mei”, a conchis Bogdana, care din toamna va fi student englez.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Strainatatea a ajutat-o sa se descopere</span><br /><br />Buhuseanca Gabriela Târdea - un subiect de roman, o poveste de succes impresionanta. Munca, responsabilitate, competenta, eficienta, modestie. De la un copil care a ratat prima admitere la liceu si babysitter occidental a ajuns rasfatata unor universitati si companii din România, Germania, SUA, Marea Britanie, Finlanda, Danemarca, Slovacia. Ajunsese sa urasca scoala. Treptat, prin clasa a XI-a, s-a apropiat si cu sufletul de profesori. “Din 2001, imediat ce am terminat liceul buhusean, am plecat în Germania, ca Au-Pair (babysitter), si din acea perioada am început sa prind gustul educatiei”, zice. A început sa studieze la o facultate din Germania, dar lipsa banilor a determinat-o sa se întoarca în tara, la Universitatea “Babes-Bolyai”, unde a finalizat cursurile facultatii de Stiinte Economice si Gestiunea Afacerilor. Devine membru al organizatiei internationale studentesti AIESEC, lucreaza la diferite proiecte nationale, este acceptata la doua internship-uri, în Slovacia si Finlanda. În timpul facultatii are, simultan, câte doua, trei joburi, primeste sprijin financiar din Germania si de la parinti. Pleaca în Slovacia într-un internship de management, este promovata de trei ori într-un singur an în companie, sprijina multi români pentru a lucra în aceasta tara, descopera, vorbind în engleza, germana, slovaca, faptul ca are abilitati de comunicare. La Bergische Universität Wuppertal- Germania, Copenhagen Business School - Danemarca, o regasim sustinând un masterat, obtinând noi competente lingvistice. Experientele ocupationale îi certifica grozave competente precum profesor/tutor de limbi straine-freelancer (România si Slovacia), specialist în recrutare la APPEL COUNSELLING s.r.o., Bratislava (Slovacia), Global.me in Jyväskylä Team, Helsinki & Jyväskylä (Finlanda), practica voluntara la Colegiul Tehnic Ion Borcea & Scoala “Mihai Eminescu” Buhusi, are activitati specifice la Global LT, Ltd. Woodslee Drive, Troy, Michigan (USA), Innovation Roundtable in Copenhaga. Cunoaste engleza, germana, daneza, franceza, spaniola, poloneza, slovaca, fiind atestata cu excelent, în cele mai multe dintre ele.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">“Dezamagita, am ales strainatatea”</span><br /><br />Aceasta performera a fost nevoita, din cauza sistemului românesc de admitere aiurea de tot, sa învete un an la Scoala complementara! “Dezamagita, am ales strainatatea. Noi învatam doar teorie, teorie, iar teorie. La terminarea facultatii din Cluj, am realizat ca pe lânga teorie nu stiu mai nimic. Dar strainatatea nu e paradisul! Oricât de mult se aude ca e bine în strainatate, tot strainatate ramâne, departe de cei dragi, departe de casa, departe de tot. Strainatatea mi-a schimbat viata complet, admit acest lucru pentru ca este adevarat. Am avut parte de experiente de neuitat. Am întâlnit oameni noi, culturi noi, am învatat multe limbi straine, am cunoscut ceva diferit, în special în atitudinea oamenilor. Strainatatea îti ofera o noua perspectiva asupra vietii, experimentezi lucruri si situatii ce nu le vei întâlni niciodata acasa. Sunt experiente minunate, trebuiesc traite, daca ai curajul si initiativa de a face acest pas. Dar consider ca multi români se simt singuri în strainatate. Cu bani în buzunar ori nu, dar singuri... Asa ma simt eu câteodata. Strainatatea nu m-a îmbogatit si nu acesta este scopul meu. Strainatatea însa m-a ajutat sa ma descopar pe mine si acest lucru este mai semnificativ decât orice altceva”, ne-a marturisit.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">De ce educatia în strainatate? …”România stie numai de cei care fura, ucid si cersesc”</span><br /><br />Raspunde tot Gabriela Târdea. “In strainatate esti ceea ce poti demonstra cu mintea ta ca esti. Nici buzunarul si nici functia mamei sau a lui tata nu te salveaza ori îti da o nota mai mare la scoala. Aici poti reusi chiar si daca nu ai buzunarul plin, si asta este ceea ce face diferenta. Calitativ, consider ca ceea ce înveti aici reusesti sa pui în practica. Educatia în Scandinavia, unde am ales eu sa o continui, este gratuita si asta faciliteaza accesul strainilor aici. Universitatile din strainatate au parteneriate cu firme nationale si internationale care cauta studentii înca de pe bancile facultatilor. Ca student, în Danemarca, nu doar ca ma simt în siguranta prin ceea ce învat, dar ofer în acelasi timp siguranta companiilor cu care colaborez. Ca student, mi se ofera încrederea ca ideile mele sunt valoroase si pot fi puse în aplicare. Exista o competitie foarte mare, dar nu ma simt discriminata cu nimic”. Întoarcerea acasa?... “Inca nu. Când ajungi în strainatate si stai deja câtiva ani buni, ajungi sa te familiarizezi cu un anumit standard de viata care cu timpul devine ceva normal, devine limita de jos pe care nu o poti depasi. Românii care au plecat în stranatate si s-au realizat sunt foarte multi, România însa nu stie de ei. România stie doar de cei care fura, ucid si cersesc. Persoana care termina aici un Masterat, un PhD, si careia i se ofera un loc de munca atractiv, nu se mai întoarce în tara daca sentimentul de siguranta, de stabilitate e primar.” Gabriela Târdea ramâne o persoana simpla, dar care a reusit sa ajunga unde e pentru ca a vrut si a luptat, a muncit enorm de mult pentru toate aceste succese, a facut multe sacrificii si nu a permis statului ori altcuiva sa o opreasca de la obiectivele ei.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Un exemplu de viata</span><br /><br />Are aproape 18 ani si tocmai a terminat clasa a XI-a la Colegiul National “Gh. Vranceanu” Bacau. Ambitioasa, perseverenta, muncitoare si plina de viata, Geanina Stingaciu ne ofera un alt exemplu de viata. Un exemplu al unei tinere, care in acest moment are doar un singur vis. Un vis indraznet de altfel, acela de a fi acceptata la o universitate din Statele Unite ale Americii. “De ce America?”, a fost prima intrebare pe care i-am adresat-o. “Pur si simplu imi doresc foarte mult sa studiez intr-o universitate americana, in care pot sa-mi arat adevaratul potential si sa fac ceea ce imi place, sa valorific apoi tot ce am invatat. In Europa voi fi constrânsa de criteriile etnice si de cele financiare”, mi-a raspuns sigura pe ea Geanina. Alege Economia, dar accepta si Dreptul Comercial. “As vrea sa studiez Economia, chiar daca este un domeniu comun, iar daca nu reusesc voi merge pe Drept Comercial. Nu este imposibil sa ajungi acolo, ci doar dificil. Iar eu voi reusi. Am trecut peste toate obstacolele din viata mea si voi trece si peste acesta.” Se lupta intens si invata zilnic, chiar si acum in vacanta, sa obtina bursa SUA, mai ales ca sunt unele univesitati care asigura bani integral pentru studii. “Sunt facultati care dau si 60.000 de dolari, altele asigura doar partial plata cursurilor, dar se gasesc solutii. Acum ma pregatesc de examene, apoi am sa aplic pentru dosar si sper sa reusesc. Eu mereu mi-am ales lucrurile dificile, dar nu mi-a fost greu. Am fost si sunt mereu fata de nota 10 si nu e chiar usor sa tii mereu sus aceasta stacheta”, ne-a mai spus. CV-ul ei este impresionant. A absolvit cursurile gimnaziale cu media 10, sef de promotie, Testarea Nationala “a invins-o” cu 9,83, clasele de liceu le-a terminat numai cu media 10, la profilul matematica-informatica. In toata activitatea ei scolara, din 1999 si pâna acum a obtinut teancuri, teancuri de diplome de merit, premii, premii speciale la diferite concursuri si olimpiade nationale si internationale. A participat si la concursuri europene de matematica aplicata, ani la rând, la concursuri de limbi straine (engleza, germana, franceza, spaniola), a aparut in emisiuni televizate, a fost membru in cenaclul literar “Zbor invers”, are texte publicate si un interviu in revista “Joc secund”, este scenarist de benzi desenate, iar momentan e angrenata in programul european “eTwinning” si in EYP (European Youth Parliament), dar si voluntar in Asociatia “Betania”. E sincera, intreprinzatoare, receptiva, perseverenta, are capacitatea de a lucra in conditii de stres, dorinta de perfectionare si cunoastere continua. E interesata in special de leadership development, drept, activitati economice, politica.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A ales University College London</span><br /><br />“Voi incepe intâi prin a prezenta rezultatele mele din timpul liceului, pentru a contura putin motivele pentru care am ales sa plec, desi am avut locul asigurat la facultate si aici, in tara. Am participat la Olimpiada de Limba si Literatura Româna 5 ani consecutiv, iar cele mai importante rezultate le-am obtinut in clasa a XII-a, locul 3 la nationala si tot locul 3, la etapa internationala. De asemena, am participat doi ani la Olimpiada Nationala de Sociologie si am obtinut in ambii ani locul 3. Am luat premiul 2 si la Concursul National de Critica Literara «Mihail Iordache» in clasa a XI-a. Alegerea de a studia in continuare literatura a urmat firesc”, ne-a precizat si Claudia Toia, proaspata absolventa a Colegiului National “Gh.Vranceanu” Bacau. Decizia de a alege o facultate in strainatate a luat-o inca din clasa a XI-a, când a realizat ca la Facultatea de Litere din tara doar ar aprofunda pur si simplu materia din liceu. “Insa eu vreau, desigur, sa evoluez, explica. «Literele» la noi iti cam constrâng orizontul de alegere dupa absolvire, iar a fi profesor in România, mai ales in Bacau, nu ofera satisfactii profesionale si materiale pe masura.” A ales tot Anglia, pentru ca este familiara cu limba si cultura engleza, dar si pentru ca au universitati "world leading". “Informatiile necesare mi le-am procurat singura, apelând la Internet. E cel mai simplu sa intri pe site-ul fiecarei universitati sa afli direct de la sursa ce se cere, decât sa intrebi in stânga si in dreapta. Am fost acceptata la prima mea alegere, «University College London», unde urmeaza sa studiez literatura engleza. Universitatea este una dintre cele mai bune din Marea Britanie, motiv pentru care mi-au cerut sa obtin peste 9.80 la Bac. Am luat 9.93 in final si le-am satisfacut cerinta”, mai spune Claudia Toia. Va fi colega de grupa, in Anglia, cu sefa de promotie de anul acesta din “Vranceanu”, care a aplicat la aceeasi universitate.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Va studia stiinta calculatoarelor</span><br /><br />Ioana va pleca tot in Anglia. A absolvit Colegiul National “Ferdinand I” Bacau, iar pe fisa ei matricola sunt numai note de 10. “Am vrut altceva. Am vrut sa ma duc la Politehnica, in Bucuresti, dar m-am saturat de invatamântul din România. E superficial si corupt. Am observat asta cel mai mult la Bac. Am avut colegi care mi-au spus personal ca au gresit la proba de la matematica si care au luat 10. Cu ce pret? 100 de euro pe fiecare proba. M-a dezamagit foarte mult acest lucru. Am prieteni care studiaza in Bucuresti. Mi-au spus si ei ca notele se dau si acolo «pe ochi frumosi», ca sistemul e invechit, ca nu se face deloc practica. Or, in domeniul meu, practica e cea mai importanta”. Din aceste motive Ioana va fi din luna octombrie studenta la Bristol University, unde va studia Computer Science (stiinta calculatoarelor). A decis ca va studia in strainatate inca din clasa a XI-a. Si-ar fi dorit sa studieze in America, “dar e mult prea scump. Am o matusa acolo, care a facut un master si asa am aflat cam cât costa studiile acolo.” Apoi s-a gândit la Franta, dar dupa ce a studiat ofertele colegiilor internationale pe internet a decis: “Anglia e mult mai buna pe informatica.” Tot Ioana precizeaza ca pentru admiterea la o universitate din Marea Britanie e necesar sa formulezi un eseu personal prin care sa convingi ca esti cel mai potrivit pentru respectivul curs, sa ai diploma de Cambrige sau de limba la nivel avansat, sa prezinti o scrisoare de referinta de la un profesor de specialitate si sa ai nota mare la Bac. Peste 9.00. A fost atrasa de tainele informaticii inca din clasa a IX-a, când profesorul ei, descoperindu-i potentialul, a ales-o pe ea sa realizeze un proiect in acest domeniu. “Atunci a fost inceputul. Am facut proiectul, apoi am lucrat la mai multe site-uri, am realizat jocuri pe internet si asa mi-am dat seama ca asta imi place sa fac. Apoi au inceput concursurile de informatica, schimburile de experienta, care m-au ajutat foarte mult”, mai spune Ioana, care de pe acum crede ca nu se va mai intoarce in tara pentru a munci. “Doar daca se mai schimba ceva si daca vor functiona mai multe companii multinationale. Universitatea unde voi studia eu colaboreaza cu multe astfel de companii – Microsoft, Adobe si chiar banci de renume, care recurteaza personal inca din timpul studiilor. Am multi amici care au ales ca sa plece in strainatate. M-am interesat si am aflat ca deja am colegi din Timisoara, Slatina, Galati, Suceava si Constanta. Vor fi niste sacrificii, planuiesc sa-mi iau un job si sper, ca in final, sa ma descurc si sa ma bucur de o experienta bogata. Cât despre reintoarcera in tara, nu ma pot pronunta definitiv. Eforturile pe care le faci sa studiezi in strainatate nu cred ca imi vor fi rasplatite aici printr-un salariu motivant. Recomand tuturor tinerilor... sa plece.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">”Profesorii nu se enerveaza, nu tipa, nu jignesc”</span><br /><br />”Am discutat cu elevi si studenti români care studiaza în Marea Britanie, Elvetia, Italia, Germania si Statele Unite. Toti considera învatamântul din aceste tari superior celui din România din urmatoarele motive: numarul de obiecte studiate este mai mic, dar relevant pentru ceea ce vor elevii sa studieze, deoarece implica mai multe optionale decât obiecte din trunchiul comun; programa pentru activitati extrascolare este obligatorie, adica fiecare elev/ student trebuie sa-si aleaga un numar minim de activitati extrascolare, la alegere – de exemplu, în scolile din Anglia (gimnaziu sau colegiu) fiecare elev îsi alege cel putin doua activitati extracurriculare, din orice domeniu care îi place; profesorii sunt foarte rabdatori, fiind dispusi sa explice de mai multe ori ceea ce elevii nu au înteles si nu se enerveaza, nu tipa, nu jignesc; este mai multa disciplina în scoli, mult mai multa strictete si toata lumea respecta regulile, care sunt obiective, normale. În ceea ce priveste continutul, acesta este axat mai mult pe activitati practice si mai putin pe teorie. Volumul informational este mai mic. Se respecta proportia de 2 la 1: daca 10 minute se explica teoretic o notiune, un fenomen etc., 20 de minute se va lucra practic – exercitii, creatii, rezolvari, experimente - cu acea notiune sau acel fenomen. Nimic nu se învata pe de rost. Evaluarea este obiectiva, mai ales cea de la examene, realizata de evaluatori specializati. Profesorii sunt platiti mult mai bine, suficient pentru a fi motivati sa lucreze cu multa raspundere. Motivele sunt mult mai numeroase, dar ma opresc aici”.<br />prof. Carmen Zaharia, Colegiul ”Ion Borcea” Buhusi<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Motivele pentru care parasesc tinerii invatamântul românesc:</span><br />- un alt nivel de educatie<br />- mare interes acordat de catre universitati pentru studenti<br />- locuri de munca variate si mai bine platite<br />- posibilitatea de a interactiona cu alti studenti, din alte tari<br />- cunoasterea altor persoane cu noi mentalitati, conceptii<br />- posibilitatea de a avansa mai repede in profesia pe care si-o aleg<br />- motivatie financiara si personala post-universitara<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Statistici</span>:<br /><br />Principalele tari unde tinerii bacauani aleg sa-si continue studiile sunt Marea Britanie, SUA, Danemarca, Finlanda, Germania, Franta si Olanda. Conform unui studiu al companiei europene Integral Programe Educationale, aproximativ 50.000 de studentii români studiaza in prezent in strainatate, ceea ce inseamna un procent de circa 4 la suta din totalul studentilor care invata in România. Daca România respecta conventiile procesului Bologna, in anul 2020 se estimeaza ca numarul tinerilor români care va studia in strainatate va ajunge la 180.000, adica 20 la suta din numarul actual al studentilor din tara noastra. Conform datelor Ministerului Educatiei, in România doar 7.800 de studenti straini vin sa isi continue studiile superioare.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">”Destul am fost izolati”</span><br /><br />”Eu nu incurajez pe nimeni in nicio directie! Fiecare trebuie sa ia decizia care il aranjeaza cel mai bine. Dar, daca ar trebui sa aleg acum unde sa-mi fac studiile as demara astfel:<br />- as lua clasamentele oficiale ale universitatilor din Europa (si nu numai) si rezultatele acestora in ultimii 10 ani pentru a vedea ce palmares au;<br />- m-as uita ce pretentii financiare au si ce burse ofera acestea - cu salariile românesti nu pot fi tinuti in facultate niste copii (ma refer la marea masa; geniile nu rasar dintre potentatii României);<br />- as studia cu mare atentie conditiile oferite! Cu siguranta, conditiile de studiu, cazare, masa, entertainment difera semnificativ de cele de la noi pentru niste preturi egale;<br />- aplicatiile on-line reprezinta o mare cucerire a ultimilor ani, sparg toate barierele. Atunci, de ce sa ne mai restrângem aria de actiune la aceasta tara? De ce sa nu profitam? Destul am fost izolati!<br />- contactul cu alte culturi este f.important in formarea tinerei generatii. Altfel, vom ramâne toata viata produsele unei culturi socotite de unii din Europa "mica";<br />- as studia sistemele de evaluare! La o mare universitate stii sigur ca notele reprezinta nivelul pe care l-ai dobândit pâna in acel moment! Din cultura altora nu face parte intervenetiile pe lânga profesori … sau cheta studenttilor!<br />- as studia cu si mai mare atentie ce perspective imi deschide diploma obtinuta si, nu in ultimul rând, cu ce salarii.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Angela Sterpu - inspector proiecte si programe comunitare la Inspectoratul Scolar Bacau</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Roxana Neagu</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ion Fercu</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.desteptarea.ro/tinerii-fug-de-bacau.html">Articol preluat din </a><a href="http://www.desteptarea.ro/tinerii-fug-de-bacau.html">Desteptarea.ro</a><a href="http://www.desteptarea.ro/tinerii-fug-de-bacau.html"> "Tinerii fug de Bacau" (11/08/2010)</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892851902805303836.post-31904758089053147712010-07-29T15:44:00.001+02:002010-07-29T15:48:48.403+02:00Summer University at Copenhagen Business School<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNHsU5QPVdv7pWScAtbUZ4HusxT2prcgDKsjknvRWR8zVG2NmdjIE9GS-XU2uLoVlL77-IhdgD2GEe5faJiaoSwCl5hRKgWX5KTeKBtfizI4SPoCOortnGSQUddKNXwleVMqMFRuscj1Y/s1600/Best+Investment+Class+In+the+World.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNHsU5QPVdv7pWScAtbUZ4HusxT2prcgDKsjknvRWR8zVG2NmdjIE9GS-XU2uLoVlL77-IhdgD2GEe5faJiaoSwCl5hRKgWX5KTeKBtfizI4SPoCOortnGSQUddKNXwleVMqMFRuscj1Y/s400/Best+Investment+Class+In+the+World.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499324300738556594" border="0" /></a>

justify;">I write in my previous article information related to the idea of facing challenges and what do they represent as <b style="">meaning</b> for our own life. I do not think I have a definition for it or that my answer or idea I wrote about would be the perfect one, but I like to relate each topic to my own life experience and the way I see things. I agree with other people opinions, I believe I am open-minded when it comes to explaining and accepting a certain point of view. What it bothers me most, is the way people relate to each other when it comes to giving an advice. I experience the most outrageous comments that people try to define as their perfect way of seeing things, mostly when they try to misjudge others opinion or make them feel stupid for the way they see things. Most people do not understand that life is being seen differently from everybody´s perspective. If success for me means the way I achieve goals and the level of satisfaction I feel I reach, for others can have a different connotation or it can be defined totally different. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If there is something I so much appreciate to the way, for e.g. Danes lives their life, is the liberty to which they express and relate their imagination, goals and life achievements. The priorities they set and the extent to which they find this life being worthy (this involving the way they feel about their way of deciding, less based on what other think about them). </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">What makes us sometimes unhappy is the way we think people see us, the way people judge what we are, what we do, what we achieve or not. We make us unhappy only by comparing our life with the ones we perceive as being better that us, having done things in life that are in a better way appreciated than those of ours. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">When I achieve a goal, I am happy; but happiness and the feeling of satisfaction remains sometimes only until I may acknowledge other people who have done greater things than me, and so I start being ungrateful, I start complaining and I set higher goals to be achieved, sometimes harder ones. I am not saying that this attitude is always wrong because this can be viewed as a way I motivate myself to achieve more and more. But it is wrong to underestimate myself only by comparing myself with others. I think this is a bad habit that makes me unhappy and depressed (when I am) and I think a lot of other people are in this same situation. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I do am very happy with my achievements! … As far as I am not comparing myself with others, my level of happiness is high. But to what extent do other people influence us in a bad way? My own experience with this feeling of not being worthy comes from the moment when people relate to me, as if they would know better what is good or bad for me. There are so many people, also in my life, people who know how to judge for what I do, for what I am, for what I want to be, for my actions in general … and to resume, for the way I live my life. I mean, I also most of the time, advice others not to let themselves influenced by what other people think, but can we really do this? – Not to worry at all? </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I can do this, most of the time, to the extent I can express my feedback in <b style="">speaking</b> – when I tell loudly what I think about their advices; but it is not the same inside. I still think about it; we in general still think about it, we analyse it; we make judgements about our own decisions and think twice if we are on the correct way in our choice. I mean, it should not matter, but it does. We do not make it loud, but we stress ourselves – and if I should not say this as a generalization, I mean it for myself. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">And at the end, why is it so? Why other people are so interested and fascinated making other people´s life difficult? They discuss with such a passion about others, they make it their own issue and they know better how the whole situation can be handled. … They tend to advice you, they criticize you; they make sure you know their own opinion and sometimes, when you allow them, they make sure they are in a position of controlling your final decision. <span style=""> </span><i style=""><o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">“<i style="">Why do we tend to spend so much time judging and criticizing others? Why are not we spending the same amount of time improving our own life? Is it because most of those who spend time on criticizing others life have nothing interesting to say about their own? Then why not develop the interest in finding the best that lies in us. In this way we enrich our life and let others enrich their own. This can be viewed as a life lesson, but why is it than so hard to apply this lesson to our own experience?</i>”</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I think, in my own opinion, we are so stressed out with handling our own life that, it is easier to start handling others, and that is because from this position we do not have the need to ACT? When we make decisions, the way it works, the way we can see results, it is all correlated with the way we act. Acting is not easy and we sometimes are afraid of acting because we are not sure of the way the action will lead us. We may not know in advance if it is a good decision, not until we act and experience it. We can than experience a happy ending or not a happy one at all. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">When we decide for others, we make it easier for our own belief system, that the decision is good. And we will think: “As long it is not me who has to handle the situation that comes as a result of action on that decision, it is good”. Experiencing this, we also make assumptions about the results. If we personally have had good results, we estimate others should also have; but if our results were not what we expected, than we tend to advice others not to act in the way we did, without allowing them experience the results. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I experience so many times to be in a group of people which topic of discussion was about other people’s life. Worrying, complaining, and even deciding the way they should have done things, criticizing everything about others lifestyle, way of decision they may have made and I can tell the passion you could see in their eyes when they were talking about, the frustration they lived for the end result of others decisions – a totally theatrical theory which made their day successful somehow, ending the discussion with the feeling of having done something worthy that day, for themselves and maybe for the person she/he was in debate. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I sometimes make the same mistake by mixing my own opinion in others decisions but I am glad when I recognize the moment, and for my good, I try to change it in the other direction where I allow myself to learn maybe something worthy from others experience, make a decision for myself on what was good and not, then decide that it is better accepting people as they are, because they are the person they themselves want to experience to be. We all are what we produce out of us based on our own decision, even when we are being influenced – sometimes.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">But, can we stop others make decisions for us? Is this a good or bad thing to do? How can we know this? How can we change the situation if there should be something to be changed? I do not have a correct answer for that but what I most of the time do, is first <b style="">recognize</b> when somebody is trying to just give bad advices without knowing me; I recognize <b style="">the way</b> and <b style="">the reason</b> they may try to influence me and <b style="">I act </b>by either avoiding them or <b style="">stopping</b> them in a nice way. Being open and telling them to let me make my own mind about a certain thing is not always understood correctly. People may perceive this act as an attack or just criticism and also, this does not always mean that people will stop talking. It is just a matter of time until they will start again; it only matters the way we learn to handle the situation by making the correct decisions – decisions that are correct for us.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">When people starts inundate me with unexpected or undesired opinions, I have learned to avoid any discussion by just ignoring them … sometimes in a nice way. If they do not understand when I tell them something and continuously are trying to force me accepting their opinion, than the only way to make them ´disappear´ or stop is by ignoring them. It may not be always the smart way of deciding, but it is the way I decide for myself as being the better one, which by meaning – is sometimes a good one.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="">Giving an example</b>: 3 years ago (2007) I decide not to eat meat any more. That by meaning I was becoming a vegetarian. The decision was purely made by me and with a 100% certainty! I just felt I do not want to eat meat any more, that I feel better and healthier in this way; I not only decided but felt it as being the right decision for me. I just do not feel the need or the wish of trying meat. It is unexplainable sometimes, but I was and still am very sure about my decision. Since then, people around me tried and are still trying to convince me that my decision was bad. Most of them developed ways of convincing me to taste meat, tried to “feed” my mind with idea of scientifically proves on how eating meat would make me be normal. I mean, what does being normal mean? There are a lot of scientifically proves that smoking is bad for the body and the mind and though people who smoke try to convince me that being a vegetarian is bad and wrong. Please, I can only laugh about it!!! It is unbelievable how much stress they send me and how unavoidable they sometimes can be. When telling somebody I am vegetarian it is as if the whole conversation should stress this topic and nothing else for the next 30 minutes. Sometimes I feel bad bringing this topic in a conversation, not any more though, only if I have to be in a situation of refusing the meal by explaining my reasons. I mean, it is OK for people asking me about my reasons, wanting them to understand my decision but I do not agree with those who just want to convince me that I am wrong by deciding for a certain way. I am always also curious how other people can succeed in being perseverant in some of their decisions, I also ask them questions if I hear about something not that popular but I do not argue about their decision, I most of the time admire people who stick to their own life by remaining perseverant and focused and I think that it is good supporting them. I am not saying I do not have people around me who do understand my point of view, who do support me and people who do agree with the way I run my life. I was just mentioning those who are continuously worrying about my lack of meat in my body or other kind of worries which in my opinion, should not represent their focus. Poor them! And as this example, many other examples can be explained and discussed the same way. <span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In this concern I have learned to try to focus most of the time on my own life, on my own decisions; on my own accomplishments and failures and try to learn something good out of them; the rest of the time looking by other´s results, analysing what I want to learn from them, something that may bring satisfaction in my life and something that can be a useful lessons for my future decisions. This is how I believe, I enrich my life.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Be good with yourself! and thanks for reading this article.
