Education (bad and good)

How does the education influence or determines habits and behaviours in a future,
namely in the labor market?
does it comes randomly along your all life or does it grows and then matures by itself, and becomes
obsolete as time passes?

Perhaps its a mix of variables that determines this equation result (at least is my opinion)
Really it seems not easy to define methods that are consistent through times and specially
that follows our evolution as a society. It appears to be the information (since we are at that era) that
now, for instance, commands the destinys of education, since is a strong surrounding environment  variable.
If you go back in 80's and were a teenager at that time (or search 80's info ah ah ah ) probably you'll check that your surrounding behaviours were the connections with people, and experiences that you had ( teachers, family, working, home .... ).
If you hopefully have had good teachers or mentors (or even if life for itself taught you) during your path, then probably the odds of getting a "bright" professional future increase greatly. Then what? - you may ask... well, then you'll influence even grately the ones that come behind you, mentoring them as well....

So, who in the world as taught this in power generation of people, that seem to be so unaware of what citizens wants?????, (besides themselves of course) meaning: requirements, desires......

oh by the way.... educated people are not so easy to control.... Pixies at "trompe le mond" album in Umass track have a peculiar vision about it...

Truth - seriously?

Another day I was actually talking to the barber, when he referred to politics (generally) as a bunch of truth omiters .... as i've argued that its a propagation effect that came from a long ago..... so its almost in our DNA
In fact Aristotle has stated, regarding is mentor Plato, something like " I am a Plato's friend, but i'm even more of the truth"....
This sentence carved my mind, and despite of this time gap from that ages it still does apply..... because there are so much opinion makers, so many noisemakers, so many fait divers, that one can't filter so much volumes of info, and by the way, opinion maker should be now considered a profession ..... (being ironic)

It's just like the Matrix movie of the  Wachowski Brothers (nice metaphor), there's a pretending world and a real world.... wars, conflicts, earthquakes, health, countries bailouts, airplanes ....
 no I'm no conspiracy lover whatsoever.... and what's in the middle of all this? the usual: greed and the madness of wanting to control mankind....

yes we could probably be ants in a predicted path..... but let just us to be the ones who do this path prediction.
As i said before, i'm no conspiracy lover, i'm just an Aristotle old friend....

The journey: life emergency kit

There's a certain idea about life possession, and how tight we are to it.
My questions/ answers about it are very ordinary, and probably random or shallow...
Probably (if you've read some of my other thoughts) you will think that this pseudo-analysis
is more from the same..... but there are some details though.

a) What is important in life? (what values should you truly cherish?)
b) How patient you are, to accept your human condition?
c) Is it worth to be unhappy if you are healthy?
d) Too many distractions make you unfocused?
e) Where do your focus should be pointed at?

I think that it is consensual that our lives are fragile and brief, and of course its up to us
to decide how to manage our seconds in this time lapse. So, life can be an opportunity
if  perhaps health, luck and preparation meet together in a certain moment;
By marketing books, we are taught or at least impeled to live the moment and appreciate
all the goodies that we possible can or even cannot....

Answering (it really depends on so many things; i'll try to stick to the average, and add a personal view )

a) your priorities will determine the importance for it;
for instance all your main connection, relations/ creations and dreams should be cherished.
(meanwhile don't forget to keep in shape mentally and physically!)

b) Patience is one of those characteristics that can gives you clearness,
and also time to think about, and perhaps an opportunity to make things
relative... patience to do, listen, to learn, to wait, observe and enjoy.

c) To be happy and embrace life as it moves forward in time, will be contagious, to you
and the others that deal with you. (spread happiness, you'll receive happiness).
If you think there's no reason to be happy, then try to relativize (as i stated before)

d) Sometimes we think we are in such a rush, that we are not able to absorb any more information,
but if you consider to have a good 2nd thought, then you'll probably realize that most of that
information or occupation, is rubbish and don't even make part of your priorities... the ones that
can make you really happy.

e) Focus what you enjoy, probably this step we'll take you right to the first one a)

in sum, i know that we lack some seconds .... but .... one day at a time.

POETRY DAY - a thought about it

As i see it, Poetry is like a life metaphor .... a subtle look from a deep conscious state, which can be whatever the author or reader wants.... so here's my small contribute. (got done a new sound also.... please just click "play" if you want to ear it)


Days

Through images seen
Through thoughts I gather
Some truth where I lean
Read it in a bird's feather

All that it is
All that it has been
Perhaps doesn't makes sense
Because landscapes are thin
And they can be so dense;
By the touch of a finger
By the sound of a ear
Where you can finally rest
Where you can finally linger
Lulled by a journeys quest
Only with peace, with no fear.

About to find a new sky
Maybe its a dream at sleep
Probably just a quantum leap
This path at a blink of an eye.

Did your heard about my movie?

I remember when i was in University, when i missed 1999 "Fight Club" movie with  ... and my friends came to me telling how overwhelmed they were with the whole film ... they had reason.
Later I saw it and became also very surprised for the ending, (specially the end). I was very sceptic about it, because of movie's title.... "Like the 80's martial arts movies" (i thought); It happened that the whole movie development was amazing; David Fincher made an interesting metaphor for society rules (for the time and present) and how schizophrenic it can be to accept being mainstreamed or standardized without any aware of it... cherry at the top of the cake... "where is my mind " from the Pixies




Nevertheless if I made a movie, a sort of an action/drama one,  i would like that would end with Lou Reed's "perfect day"  which could actually suit to the end of the fight clubs movie with the implosions..... hey, is just an opinion....

World buzz latest

Ukraine, Venezuela .... escalates on violence and death.... is this what governors want, pain for their citizens? Although in different paths in what have caused such violence, the results appear to be similar.
 As i write before, what about citizens own interest? Who as legitimacy to determinate how a society should evolute?  Nowadays everyones has an opinion about everything (even I do!!!), but as long as these opinions won't dictate rules, or spread fear and terror....
As long as a territory and gov seeks for true peace, and well being to achieve citizens will/ desires, I guess its sovereignty shouldn't be threaten or even questioned for anyone. But in these cases, freedom has some side and human costly effects, and as we can see, when everyone wants to influence or force a path, turbulence just grows as an hungry loose beast....
So what to do then? In democratic societies, if citizens decide and want a different desires than govs, they should be responsible for it; Govs are citizens mandates, or "employees" they should entirely respect that issue, else, it will be endless fights, in a chaotic scenario.

LOL = Lots Of Love - or "Hey: St. Valentine just went viral!"


What is the limit of love? - Love's a bug (this could a be a song title for a Pixies song);
Love for each other, no matter what...., what could be the matter..? Extreme experiences where a human being understands, that it is better to give from himself than receive from other; a condition where anyone else comes in first; The sacrifice of the own well being, for someone else or some cause (although it could be also "for anything", once we live in the consumers era) generally for any living creature that nurture affections; Love can easily assume many forms, it depends on what you have been taught about it during your life. So it can be taught... But if there's someone that hasn't had the chance of having the right surrounding environment in order to learn it, and/or hasn't been to understand, feel, experience it? How would he/she recognize and practice it, if no references haven't been properly inscribed as a natural DNA mutation input? So, are we genetically programmed to live an emotion so extremely, to the point we name it as LOVE, and independently from our environment it will always be revealed at some point of our lives? 
Nowadays we live in a rush for peak fast emotions and material things (as said previously), and I may ask if it  is fair for  it be live in such a randomly fashion? 
If love is a feelling, then it could conditionate our reason (as deeply explained at "Descartes Error" of Neurologist Antonio Damasio) for the better or worse ; Eventually we love for a reason (or a bunch of it!) so we try to be rational at LOVE ? Could it have a set of formulae? 
Love is some sort of deep connection, that compels you to do things.... usually the unnoticed but significant  ones, are the remaining and that ultimately keep you attached to it....

THE FAT CAT - Café



(you know it...anyway...  There are a lot of it.... )

Really there are a lot of persons that take their share on someone else's work or profit from others efforts without doing nothing for it or even deserve it. The merit for a reward should be something over present in what work's concern about. Of course there are other actions that you do on behalf of other's that you give it for free, without expecting any kind of reward whatsoever e.g. community work, non profit entrepreneurship, which is actually a value, that you can trade.... with  no (perhaps) collateral damages, and thats truly humble, noble and great. For many (in company environment) this has been sort of  labeled as "Social Responsibility" and as a Buzz, I think it turned out to be a fait divers or a way to divert some taxes.... of course companies aren't charity organizations... and their main goal is to produce profit , but it has to be fair and legitimate winning, by the merit of their work.... but, you know that the huge profits don't appear simply out of the blue, and where is unbalance and the flows are mainly in one direction, in one way or the other, the nature will solve it by its own means.... (ups...! the F Cat commands nature now).
But, as someone said in a fable "is better to be slim (mouse) in the bush, than fat in a cats mouth!"

thought this sound could be.....  hmm.. appropriate...

"LUCK" European Union - the mystery of lost earrings

Since there are men on earth there's competition at the strive for food, land, position, overall government, What can we expect if we are after all human ... and animals... ? And as animals, our basic instincts usually tell us to dominate, haunt something .... to be definitely in control. But is this a society desire? Is this the citizens will? Or are we at the verge of lacking representativity ? Of course there are some (few i would dare to say!), that try to balance own interests with citizens ones.
World vs.... World itself, could a society take really its faith by its hands? Or are govs so "interests" dependents that can't decide nothing that follows citizens true aspirations? If that's so, then who are entitled to "rule" or to interpret citizens "pure" desires/ aspirations? And if there are self entitled  interpreters, what are their main and mundane purposes ? ( the usual power, money, sex ?)
For what i understand, theres is something that someone is searching for, as its owed belonging, but, in fact, it's fair to ask: do we actually belong something, or does something belong us...? From a foreign point of view there'll be a something that was lost, from a another point of view they just keep the search for its .... belonging....

PROSPECTIVE - we all have been given a big wildcard....

Does  it really matter how good you are at planning? Do all your pseudo-Boolean logic keys, open your wanted doors? What are the main variables that your life journey tells you to take in account?
I confess that even the more accurate planner couldn't observe the next most strange event on earth, even though there some few that try hard to get it right.
Predicting as always been a wizard sort of thing from the ancient times (for the crops, society, economy and consumers) and even Plato or Aristotle (for instance) tried it, analysing nature and human behaviour and yet didn't solve the whole of the question....
Fortunately, method and passing knowledge and wisdom through times, brought us some mainstream paths in which some how we can rely on..... or not?
We could say that some good diagnosis could be a interesting 1st step towards a less risky plan and at the end solution .... but there are the "if's" though.
As a short example, it can be analysed to the light of a certain pattern, that unmeasured and filthy plenty load of wealth, could lead to some predictable behaviour that is recognisable or characterized among a group, an institution,.... in the limit the whole world  (the insurers know this for sure!!!!); Top Stock brokers and high level finance / banking and tax haven countries..... and probably you wouldn't have to be a Wall Street Wolf as in the Leonard DiCaprio movie, to foster this. Yet, it would be expected all the excess occurred behaviour during this movie development, as in life though. (sex, drugs and rock&roll) which it happens to be common to other groups in society, as i've stated before ....politics, top rock stars, sport athletes, movie stars (these actually sell to media fuss, scandal etc.).... So could anyone predict the whole path or ultimate fate of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson,  Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain ... (even the "unknown" Bankers....http://www.infowars.com/third-banker-commits-suicide-within-a-week/), and lately Philip Seymour Hoffman .... ( is just too sad to die home alone with a needle . Remembered System of a Down - Needles  or similar...and having it all .... or not...   )
So where does this goes into, you may ask yourself now... excess is almost predictable but people and nature are hard wild variables.

If this was a movie i would finish it with the sound of "Something" from Beatles or Lou Reed's - Perfect  Day, i think is suits....




and my tribute to Seymour (this was really hilarious....)




and goes on....

SCARLET MEANS RED?

About Super Bowl censured Soda commercial:
 "is just a matter of establish standards ... once is done, there will be more to follow afterwards... the system hypocrisy is that everyone is doing something that looks like (banking, food, pharmaceutical, you name it), ... and are accepted or not accordingly the key players (usually the powerful ones)... so what to?, besides citizens really take the destiny that they want...."


Clearly that this debate has its epicenter wherever someone wants to put it, and surely its roots depend on who will be affected (how loud you have made your shout).
I'll try to focus here very briefly,and in a random order, several issues :

Marketing Strategy and Product itself, the commercial content, the fuss....

-as for the marketing, well sometimes a censure has much more advertising effects than a whole campaign itself... so this leads me to the "what if" this was done on purpose? (except the side effects on miss Johansson). Market are the soda consumers or energetic beverages consumers also;

- the product itself is an innovation, a portable device to have soda at home... ( that would make some cola and beverage brands go nuts.... and make them possibly what they can to stop it.... or in time, follow it). Of course there are the consumables such as the CO2 bottle, the flavouring spares, maintenance contracts etc... so the basic concept as for espresso coffee or the trendy "do it by yourself", "tailored made".

-the commercial itself is very visual, the actress is surely appealing, the lines are in my opinion too shallow, who would expected more ?!... this is not properly a "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", directed by Woody Allen); of course there is sexism and in sum the whole script could be a bit more ... polite, but for essentially a manly football fan audience, someone just followed his basic instinct which is in this case, sex.

-finally about the fuss itself.... this is just hypocrisy,  as i've said above every major company try to reduce is costs wherever in the world... being Energy, Finance, Coffee, Cocoa, Pharma or Textile.... all over the world, (i wouldnt dare now to point out a country, since this a Global issue);  you could question market rules or foreign laws, so you'll have to act through your mandatory or representative officer, considering you're a living in a democracy where citizens will has an effect.

So is up to people to decide whether to choose where their energy should be spent at, and if it is worth, in a cause effect perspective.

PATTERN



Sometimes (most of the times) we can get efficiency (as in energy for instance) if we can recognize a certain pattern; so we can define certain procedures which can be repeated/replicated through a several amount of tasks, that we can detail to the essence; than probably, if we try to eliminate the heavy weights (waste), our system can get that precious % of better results .... governments, municipalities should apply such efforts to do better, but at the end is just a complex bureaucratic tie and web that they get into...hence citizens suffer from it also; Is just a vicious cycle as if it were some kind of control (automation definition) but where in the feedback line you couldn't get a corrected sign only add noise.... lots of it.

BACK HOME

In this season there are lots of people travelling around the world, usually for celebrations, gatherings, or new work opportunities;  In my opinion home is a concept for your comfort place, whether its tangible or not. Wherever you geographically are, your thoughts will be and remain with you (at least up to the moment :) ). Sometimes you feel the need to share this same thoughts to anyone, some other just to your closest ones; maybe also you need to change paradigms, and look for what your were, if that makes you happy, or to get back to your roots whether if they are materialized near a group of persons (family or not) or enjoying the silence and your thoughts. Its some sort of personal reengineering where you get your own machine more efficient in that such  NTP (ptn) conditions...  (remembered Sheryl Crow with " if it makes you happy..." and Depeche Mode "enjoy the silence" ).

THE CLOUD

Much has been said and written about digital info and data content share and its use. Nowadays we are most closely to a big and worldwide reality show. Everyone is using major data, seeing his target profit. No naive thought about this issue, is just the way is all being addressed by the big players. Is general population nothing more than just mere sitting ducks? Is all taken to the point where the matter is how much you worth by your collected data? Of course information as a price, but what i am talking about is the way and means this same information is collected and finally used. Can you name now a step in your life where data collection isn't done? I can't.  Lets take a very small example. You go to work, take your car, stop in a gas station, and there you are in a screen controlled by someone (of course for security reasons); But the real doubts start precisely after the image being processed/recorded and archived. The image can collect your behaviour for a certain socio study easily transformed in the stats useful to be sold (of course without your permission) for any marketing company, gov etc. In  the way to work you have to pass in tolls (peáge) imagine that your car plate is being checked each time a car passes the toll, what represents the amount of info collected from the drivers: where they go, at each time of the day etc etc who would benefit with such info..... and goes on..... and i didn't mention yet anything about cellular phones, or computers, net..... So what to do ... well, our own info must be worth something for someone .... and i would like to collect my bucks ......!

SELFIE

In the days that "everything counts in large amounts", what a nice prize for a word of the year "SELFIE"; I thought that human ego couldn't grow more... but how far I was/ am of the truth; I suppose that human ego is directly proportional to universe expansion within its own entropic behaviour. To me SELFIE represents the peak of our own isolation driven by technological evolution but at the same time a call for exacerbated attention. The "I" has made an hostile take over of the "We", and human kind seems to be in line with that. So what are the main concerns here? Does society rings a bell? Well a "new" society trend would be.... individual networking society, where everyone follow its own path but has to link somehow to others even if they don't mean nothing as a real physical connection. Some would say "what for"? Answer: Balance. Balanced societies scarce and individualism took place as never before... selfie is one more definition of it. Did this has something to do with Obama et al? Sure, It just gave me the topic for this post... :)

MADIBA (MANDELA) LIVES




In these days where raw models are lacking or scarce, one more has left this earth. Most of the newspapers refer to Mandela as being dead, but actually it is my opinion that should be written that he lives. He lives in his spirit, testimony of humbleness, fight for freedom, union, sense of mission and commitment for peace, hence a messenger in his journey in a troubled society and world;  Can you name at the present moment another living example of a person that fought for freedom and union of persons? Personally I hardly can't.
Much things are being said, so i'll try to stick to my own perception of MADIBA (Nelson Mandela). First real impression that I've had was during his release back in 1990. I thought "what kind of a person stays arrested for its true cause for so many time?". An idealist and inspired person would do that (i now say). So many persons (leaders with society and world responsibilities or simply the citizen itself)  should put the eyes on this human heritage and spread it in their actions around the globe. Everyone can make the difference. Peace, union and freedom are worth to fight about. Thank you Nelson Mandela.

THE LITTLE MOON



Moon always played an interesting role in our lives, even as a business (space, astrophysics, astrology....). Although its far enough, it can influence people and the whole nature (tides, wind....) with its magnetic and gravitic fields. Atraction or repulsion between persons although sometimes (most of the times) are "physicaly" dependent the core is really in persons spirit. As a matter of an example most of times the public/ or private sector front offices are leaded by (unfortunetly) miseducated people, and most of the times dont know how to treat a "costumer". Everyone should know the importance of a front office which reflects the company or institution first impression hence it can repulse or attract; imagine this for a country, who does have the KEY role to conduct a country front office? Or who has the power and knowledge to attract investment, to create jobs policies, to enhance innovation culture, who are these front officers???

WATER LINES


Indeed that water is our creation basis, it can be a reflection ( ) of our daily motion. It flows, sometimes floods, other just runs narrow or don't run at all.. A Jump into the water could mean that you get to your roots and finally become free for yourself. Our "leaders" seem to have taken an agenda for which they don't have the closest idea where did it came from and where will it lead us to, and sincerely i would dare to say that they care as much as the rest of the common mortals..... assumig that 90% of the persons make plans for a day, or as lot of maketeers like to put it "now"! So, maybe (just maybe) there are some considerations, examples, to recover from the dust that can point out a direction, in order to get the flow that so many aspire.

FLOWER


I posted this photo because i've found it side by side an ordinary other flower.... since i've got a limited biology or gardening  knowledge, i'll need someonelse's help in order to discover what flower is this about?
Also idecided to write something about it;

Sometimes a creation coming out of the blue can bloom and you can't recognize it, so will it depend on our knowledge or on our attention to see it coming? The creation can happen randomly, nature impulsed and we should apreciate it when it is a really meaningful or can inspire us to do new things. World needs new things...probably they are already here side by side something ordinary.
