Infographic is no fun…or is it?

Can you do me a favor? Can you please look at this post like you would look directly into my eyes and shout out loud: “You go girl!!!”…And looking straight back at you with tears of joy streaming down my face I’ll answer: “Aw”… Today I’ve published my very first Infographic.

People Are Everything

Going on the corporate trip is the best way to get to know people you are working with. Last weekend we went on the rafting trip. Besides experiencing the extreme I’ve got a chance to discover one important thing. When there is a vacant place in the boat driven by the person that everyone loves people want to take it. The very uncomfortable, not cool, even not very safe place but next to a great leader. We want it and we’ll fight for it.

Get What You Want

Did you ever find yourself wanting something really bad and ending up buying something similar but not quite what you wanted? I just recently came back from the store holding a bag of candy that I purchased from the local grocer thinking why-oh-why am I so weak in my decisions?

In Sickness and Health

Nothing makes one think of what’s important in life like getting sick. And event though it’s no fun to fell off the face of the earth for a couple of days because of a tiny bug that made himself comfortable in one’s stomach I am still very grateful for a reminder of how fragile we are and how much I have to do before I die. Like learn to speak Japanese.

Little nostalgic note about time

For some reason the future always looks a little brighter than today. Modern people like to live in tomorrow and for tomorrow not paying much attention to the precious moments that are passing by.

An Independence that’s all my own

What to write about on the 4th of July but independence? It’s a tough word if you think about it. And it can mean different thing to different people. Copyblogger posted a short article today on what independence means for a business owner stating that it does not matter whether you are a tycoon or a mom-and-pop store you are a business owner and so be it.

I’m so happy I’m a blogger ’cause I have to digest an enormous amount of information on the daily basis and just like every person we meet is a teacher so is every article I stumble upon teaches me something as well.

I’ve read all the Facebook posts today on what a birthday of America means to my friends and came to think of what “the independence” means specifically to me. I don’t think it’s really a freedom to make my own choices ’cause too many people depend on my decisions. And I can not say that I’m an owner of my own life ’cause it’s tightly connected to lives of my loved ones and that’s the way I like it. So I think my independence lies in my ability to create stuff that I can call my own. Like this blog. Thank you for being a part of it. And Happy 4th!

Don’t speak

“No Doubt” clearly had their point when Gwen Stephani so painfully sang her broken heart out. There is also a saying that the best way to preserve good looking body and a long-lasting relationship is to close one’s mouth on time.  But let’s get back to Dale Carnegie advices and see what he has to say about “speak or not to speak”.

The best way to get people to do what you want

Yes, I am going back to basics and yes, I’m rereading and reanalyzing the great book of “How to win friends and Influence people“.  I’m going to implement each and every advice from this book to my quest of creating fun and engaging Facebook business page. If people got friends offline while following Mr. Carnegie’s instructions I should be able to do it online as well. So “there is only one way under high heaven to get anybody to do anything…”
