Admit your mistakes. Be bold and courageous. Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference. Be willing to lose a battle to win the war.

“Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar“ Sigmund Freud According to Alfred Korzybski [en, wiki], the greatest epistemologist of the XXth century, in his work “Science and Sanity” [complete book, en, HTML index, pdf chapters], for example, in the case of the word “pen”, when I take it in my hand, and I say: “This… Read More “The Art of Personal Branding”, or Sometimes, a “Pen” is Just a Pen.

We should, at least, have a few moments of doubt faced with each person; maybe that human being holds a tragedy, or maybe (s)he lives a miracle, inconsistent with the frameworks of your pattern. Who can tell? (S)he who does not know how to dissipate his or her communication always acts out automatically: you left-click,… Read More Transcending Patterns of Communication
Suppose certain simple truths do not circulate and do not nourish digital people’s lives. In that case, it is because nobody listens to these simple truths, although they are tweeted, posted, googled, embedded, linked, mashed-up, youtubed, chain lettered and I must admit, in some very, very special, more rare cases… pop-up-ed (rarely pop-under-ed). Nobody respects… Read More The Art of Listening Others. Version 2.1.

I think each person, as a human being, deserves respect as a default right. Of course, rights can sometimes be suspended, but never a priori. I do… Read More Respect
Not getting hired in Romania is instead a socio-cultural stigma. It works as a rather interesting system. Romanians lost almost all properties during communism. To compensate, the new generations wanted their homes and places. The trouble was their own homes were in the same cultural and economic environment. The new apartments built after the revolution… Read More Romanians Work Jobs They Hate So They Can Buy Properties Without Enjoying Them
(keep reading ↓) In a public situation, or even in a private business meeting, the questions you put don’t only offer you information but also serve as a business card if you know how to use it. But, of course, if you use it ONLY as a business card… you know what people do with… Read More What Do Your Questions Say About Yourself?
Beyond making a few jokes to lighten up the atmosphere based on my (little) experience of dealing with corporate HR in Ro, there is a serious point I wanna make, especially considering two of my start-up ideas centered on stress reduction were publically trashed. Beyond the fact that many of the people in Romanian HR… Read More The Ethics in HR
