If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play. My simple
theory of management. And it works!
07-05-2008 17:47 May - the most beautiful and promising time of year. I
suddenly remembered the Mary Shmich speech/column, perfect versioned by
Baz Luhrmann.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own
meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh never mind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But
trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall
in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how
fabulous you really looked.
You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed
your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4:00 pm on some idle
Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Sing.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts; don’t put up with people
who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead; sometimes
you’re behind; the race is long, and in the end it’s only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. If you succeed in
doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you wanna do with your life;
the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to
do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know
still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees; you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry -- maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children --
maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40 -- maybe you’ll dance the
funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either -- your choices
are half chance; so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body; use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it, or
what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own.
Dance.
even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents; you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they're your best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should
hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography, in lifestyle,
because the older you get the more you need the people you knew when you
were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise; politicians will
philander; you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that
when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and
children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund;
maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply
it. Advice is a form of nostalgia: dispensing it is a way of fishing the
past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and
recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.
24-04-2008 16:33 I happen to feel that the degree of a person's intelligence
is directly reflected by the number of conflicting attitudes she can
bring to bear on the same topic.

Change starts when someone sees the next step. It is not made without
inconvenience or risks, but if past history was all there was to the game,
the richest people would be librarians.
Wish us luck! :)

Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion
than that of going on a journey. Travel - movement through space -
provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions
(perhaps one of the secret terrors) of modern life is that we have lost
this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.
Nevertheless I look forward to this upcoming journey - then we take
Berlin.

The term "globalization" has cemented itself as the preeminent adjective
to describe our current socio-economic situation. However, the free trade
of goods and currencies to which this term refers is rarely echoed in the
movement of the world's human population. In fact, it seems quite the
opposite as xenophobia, terrorism, and political tactics have seemingly
fortified national borders throughout the globe.
The
Citizen Exchange Program proposes a resolution to the
highly bureaucratized and political systems of immigration.

Time to revisit the MATRIX
MORPHEUS:
Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real?
MORPHEUS:
What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know
the difference between the dreamworld and the real world?

Other things may change us, but we start and end with family. You know
children are growing up when they start asking questions that actually
have answers. :)

Do you have these intense moments
when something is about to
happen
and you feel that something
very important is coming up
like a strange coincidence
which isn't really a coincidence
but you can't really say what it is
not without ruining the moment
so you should just let it happen
because today everything comes
together in this one coincidence
which you'll look back on, smiling
and sometimes wondering what life
would have been like
if it hadn't happened
but not too
long, because you'll just be grateful
that it did happen
and that moment is
now, at
this
very moment
this magical moment when it's
actually going to happen!
... and nothing happens?
05-01-2008 17:19 It's not new. But it's worth revisiting from time to time: Numa
Numa Dance by Gary Brolsma released for the first time in December 2004.
Less than three months after the release, it had been viewed more than two
million times on the debut website alone.
A salute to Superflex (Danish
artists Rasmus Nielsen, Jacob Fenger and Bjørnstjerne Christiansen), who
take open source philosophies and tactics and apply them to real world
situations.

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it,
it is not all mixed up.

Exactly what I'm on to, is still unclear. What's certain is that my world
is a lot less cohesive than I previously assumed. It is of the utmost
importance to stay alert, collect clues and make connections. This is only
the beginning. Can I go to sleep now? I'll pretend to.

There are things that music can do that language could never do, that
painting can never do, or sculpture. Music is capable of going directly to
the source of the mystery. It doesn't have to explain it. It can simply
celebrate it.

Thought for 2004 - Does the globalisation of the anti globalisation
movement signify that that the anti-globalisation movement has failed?
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant -
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind -
