Self-Trapped –part 3

51st constellation, year 2010 – Five years after the part one of this topic (read it here), I have realized how important for me would be to find the escape(1). Many events during my stay in Brazil, from 2005 to 2007, and many other after it, have made me understand how (too) close I am to those humans mostly worried with justifying the error instead [...]

Self-Trapped -part 2

… or “Don’t cry for me. This is not a goodbye”.(1)

Today I went through a terrific experience in my professional life: my former bosses were so spectacular providing me such a VIP treatment(2) that the result was a couple of people dropping some tears for me. Guys, when someone cries for me, sincerely and altruistically, there can be only two things I can think about:

that [...]

Loneliness instead of Solitude

Somewhere near the 51st constellation, year 2010 – I have to declare I have today been crushed by loneliness. Fortunately I had a conversation about deep considerations over life and the good reasons to be alive and be still working out good ways to see happiness through a lens of weaknesses and hopes!

I wrote something about “solitude vs. loneliness” in June 19th, 2009. I wrote [...]

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

… or, some mistakes a leader should never make! In some corporations, there is a bunch of leaders(1) with very poor concepts of delegation, communication, team work, assertiveness and so on. Roughly speaking, a good leader is somebody succeeding to drive his team towards previously defined goals by using the less possible resources(2). For instance, a good football (soccer) coach is usually much more concerned [...]

Stop Being Accomplice!

Following text was received by email, sent by my friend Mr. Edvale(1). I have assumed he would like me to translate it to English and place it in my blog. If that was the case, it was my pleasure!

You gotta know that:

regular workers in Portugal (the ones still keeping their job) earn approximately half (55%) of the earnings practiced in the Eurozone.

our top managers earn, [...]

Springs In Arses

Let’s start from the beginning: a “spring” is a metal elastic device that returns to its shape or position when pushed, pulled or pressed. The word “arse” refers to ass, buttocks (British Slang) or someone who is stupid or repulsive (British Slang). Altogether, “Springs In Arses” is a deep(1) sociologic study about those arses wearing a spring in their arses!

I have noticed that my posts [...]

Pragmatic Way Of Sinking

As we spend at least one third of our life working hard to make someone else rich or richer, it is reasonable to spend some time writing about this thing which I have seen all my life as “my hell in earth”. This statement pointing to the fact that I spend that much time of my life laboring it is not new in this blog. [...]

Ms. Mercy Came For a Cup of Tea…

Tea is a fine drink, pretty tasty as much as scotch. Both of them very much socializing oriented. Chic ladies usually meet at evening for a cup of tea and some fat free buttered toasts. Drinking tea is not only a British attitude. However, they are the most worldwide known bigger tea consumers, even if in fact they are not(1).

Lately, I have been realizing that [...]

Call 112…

… because we’re getting sunk in galloping “chômage”.(1) I really wonder where and when all these corporations, currently laying off thousands of people, got this technique of creating and managing sandcastle-like companies!

What are we going to do with all these unemployed people? What are we going to do with this daily fear of waking up in the morning and find out that the company we [...]

Crisis? What Crisis?

One’s life, no matter who we are talking about, is always plenty of ghosts. A human’s brain is such a complex device very much able to create things which may go from the worst to the best (just like North-Americans). There we are again handling one more huge ghost, this time simply called “Crisis”.

If on one hand the fragile North-American economy can be taken as [...]
