Time is never enough... or not?

In the last 10 days I had only 3 post on my blog... (even if I made a promise to myself to have a post per day) and the reason for that is one1.

NO TIME!

I am sure that many of you have wished to have 48 hours in one day so that you can do everything you want in one day (so do I) but unfortunatelly that's not possible. I have tried many times to convince my body not to sleep, but that also does not work.

Back in time I was called as "the super effective" but still 1 day was never enough for me... (things didn't change much since then). I have been been delivering trainings about time management, effectiveness etc... but still I can't do everything I want in the time that I have... 

So finally I realized that (maybe) I was doing something wrong. Time is always there, and it will never change... but the things that we want to do, can change. It's not just about priorities and things you want to do first... but it's about our desires that never ends... and the things that other want US to do...

We are social people and part of that is doing things that our friends, our parents, our teachers want us to do... But do we have the option NOT to be social? I think no.... so that means that we will never have ourselves & our desires as a priority and that is part of being human...

So what would be the best option? Doing things that "I" want to do or what "Others" want me to do? How to use the limited time we have?

PS: If anyone knows how to make time go slower please let me know ;-)

Song of the Week | Week 47 [Let it Rock]

A song that reminds me of cool nights at the MC office... Harris αφιερομένο ;-)




Let It Rock
by Kevin Rudolf


I see your dirty face high behind your collar
What is done in vain truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God to justify the way you live a lie
Live a lie live a lie

And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed
I made mine!

Because when I arrive I-I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive I can take you higher
What this is forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock let it rock let it rock

Now the son's disgraced he who knew his father
When he cursed his name turned and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart so he stuck his middle finger to the world
To the world to the world

And you take your time
And you stand in line
Where you'll get what's yours
I got mine!

Because when I arrive I-I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive I can take you higher
What this is forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock let it rock let it rock

Yeah! Wayne's World Planet Rock
Panties drop and the tops
And she gon' rock 'til the camera stop
I sing about angels like Angela

(Rock!)
And Pamela
(Rock!)
And Samantha
(Rock!)
And Amanda
And Tamara mnage moi

Im in here like "**** what's up?"
Mechanic me I could fix ya up
I could **** ya up I could **** ya down
Shorty we could go wherever just pick a town

And my jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big **** rocks like on the ground
Dirty like sex that's on the ground
Weezy

Because when I arrive I-Ill bring the fire
Make you come alive I can take you higher
What this is forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock let it rock let it rock

Because when I arrive I-Ill bring the fire
Make you come alive I can take you higher
What this is forgot? I must now remind you
Let it rock let it rock let it rock

Just let it rock let it rock let it rock
(Rock rock)
Let it rock!
Let it rock!

I'm back like I forgot somethin' I'm somethin'
Roll and rock rubbin' rap runnin'
Miles like just tryin' to get a flat stomach
Like Wayne a personal trainer
My aim is perfect I bang ya
Period like the remainder

I wish I could be as cruel as you
And I wish I could say the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No not this time

The Netherlands in NYC Subway

These days the New Yorkers could experience a little bit of Netherlands in their subway. That was an initiative of a company to promote Netherlands as a touristic resort. You could see the subway cars wrapped  and transformed into Amsterdam streets, Dutch museum & room.

Very cool and creative idea ;-)

Imagine Greek Parthenon in NYC Subway someday ;-)

Song of the Week | Week 45 [Babylonia]

One of my favorite house mixes! With wonderful lyrics... Babyloniaaaaaa

Babylonia - Born Again

I was born in a system that doesn't give a fuck

About you nor me nor the life... of our kids

Keep my guns load, you never know,

Just in case things get frig

That's just the way I live, yeah!

That's me, yeah! As is



Don't come misbehaving, don't take it slight

Behave your self when you're making it right

Don't be a victim of things I do too survive

Cause I won't wish you any good, you Babylonians

Disrespect coming out their mouth (oooh)

Now you get me mad

I shove it down your throat

You know, I burn babylon,

Wi ain't got nothing in common

I'm a son of Soloman

Telling me lies ain't gonna get you nowhere

Now you turn a side to...

Damn!

You can chatta but I see my lips can suffer

Yow when I get rich you can touch them fool but not this

If yo diss then yo dead, pow mother fucker go ahead

Because I won't be playing

To pump your fucking head full a lead (yeah)

That's the way I live, yeah that's me as is



Verse 2

I was born in a corrupted system it doesn't give a fuck

About you nor me nor the life... of our lovely kids

I keep my guns load, you never know,

Things get frig

That's just how I live,

That's me, yeah, as is



Informer say they spot mah gun, what gun?

Could'nt be my shot gun

Last fool that spot that gun, drop down

I was born in a corrupted system it doesn't give a fuck

About you nor me nor the life... of our lovely kids

I keep my guns load, you never know,

Things get frig

That's just how I live.

Ποιος φοβάται τα Social Media?

Αυτός είναι ο τίτλος ενός event που παρακολούθησα την προηγούμενη τετάρτη στο μουσείο Μπενάκη και διοργανώθηκε από το Ινστιτούτο Επικοινωνίας. Αφορμή για το event αυτό ήταν μία έρευνα της MRB για την χρήση των Social Media στην Ελλάδα από καταναλωτές αλλά και από τις μεγάλες επιχειρήσεις. Σε μία αίθουσα γεμάτη από τις 10 το πρωί, με πολύ καλούς ομιλητές αλλά και μερικές τεχνολογικές πρωτοτυπίες (μιλώντας πάντα για την Ελλάδα).

Δεν θα αναλύσω ένα ένα όλα τα session που παρακολούθησα, αλλά θα μιλήσω περισσότερο γι'αυτά που μου έκαναν εντύπωση. Πρώτ' απ' όλα, η αξέχαστη ομιλία του κ. Τροχόπουλου, διευθυντή της δημοτικής βιβλιοθήκης της Βέροιας, που μίλησε για το όραμα της βιβλιοθήκης του και το πως έφτασε στο σημείο να πάρει βραβείο από το ίδρυμα Bill & Melinda Gates με το αστρονομικό μάλιστα αριθμό των 1,000,000 δολαρίων. Ένας από του πιο inspiring ομιλητές της ημέρας. Κάτι άλλο αξιοσημείωτο ήταν η έρευνα που παρουσίασε η MRB της οποίας τα αποτελέσματα ήταν κάπως αναμενόμενα (πολύ μεγάλα ποσοστά χρήσης των social media από καταναλωτές και πολύ μικρά από της επιχειρήσεις) αλλά σίγουρα ακούστηκαν σαν καμπανάκι σε πολλά brands που ακόμα δεν έχουν τολμήσει να βγουν στα social media. Μπορείτε να βρείτε την έρευνα σε αυτό το link: http://goo.gl/0iMRF. Επίσης ομιλίες που έγιναν για τα social media στην εκπαίδευση είχαν πολύ ενδιαφέρον δείχνοντας ότι η ελληνική κυβέρνηση σιγά σιγά βγαίνει κι αυτή από το καβούκι της και επιχειρεί.

Κάτι που έβλεπα για πρώτη φορά σε event στην Ελλάδα, ήταν η χρήση "live tweeting" όπου όλα τα tweets που γινόντουσαν στο #ioc10 προβάλλονταν live στην οθόνη. Κάποιοι βέβαια καταχράστηκαν της δυνατότητας αυτής, αλλά και πάλι είχε πλάκα. Κάτι που παρατήρησα από το event αυτό είναι ότι το 70% της αίθουσας είχε ένα iPhone(οι περισσότεροι το 4) και όλοι πρέπει να είχαν twiiter.

Ένα τελευταία παρατήρηση που θα μπορούσα να κάνω και ήταν το μόνο μελανό σημείο του event αυτού ήταν το γεγονός ότι αυτοί που φοβούνται τα social media (οι μεγάλοι διαφημιζόμενη) απουσίαζαν από το event αυτό, αν και είχε γίνει και προσαρμοστεί σε μεγάλο βαθμό γι'αυτούς. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι μάλλον θα συνεχίσουμε να τα φοβόμαστε για αρκετό καιρό ακόμα.

Οπότε τελικά ποιοι είναι αυτοί που φοβούνται τα social media? Μάλλον όλοι, απλά υπάρχουν και αυτοί που τολμούν να τα χρησιμοποιούν και αυτοί που δεν το έχουν τολμήσει ακόμα.

Buldoza.gr στην ακρίβεια!

Βρήκα αυτό το site καταλάθος, βλέποντας βιντεάκια στο ίντερνετ. Πρώτ' απ' όλα να σας πω τι είναι αυτό το site. Πρόκειται για ένα online πολυκατάστημα, που έχει τα πάντα!!! από ρούχα μέχρι συσκευές σε τιμές κόστους! Αγοράζεις χωρίς πιστωτικές, και όλα αυτά μόνο με το "ποντίκι σου". Έχουμε δει παρόμοια site στην Ελλάδα, αλλά αυτό εδώ έχει και κάτι άλλο ακόμα πιο μοναδικό, που εμένα προσωπικά με κάνει να το προτιμήσω. Είναι δουλειά νέων ανθρώπων, οι οποίοι τόλμησαν, και παρά την οικονομική κρίση (η οποία για μένα είναι περίοδος για μεγάλες ευκαιρίες) ξεκίνησαν μία επιχειρηματική ιδέα!

Μπορείτε να δείτε βήμα βήμα την δημιουργία της εταιρείας και όλο το στήσιμο στο youtube channel της buldoza.gr (http://www.youtube.com/user/buldozaGR) και θα καταλάβετε γιατί (πέρα από τις τιμές και τις υπηρεσίες που προσφέρει) αξίζει να στηρίζεις τέτοιες προσπάθειες!



Εγώ να πω μόνο καλή επιτυχία, ελπίζω αυτό να είναι ένα από τα επιτυχημένα παραδείγματα της επιχειρηματικότητας στην Ελλάδα! Και να δούμε άλλα τέτοια στο μέλλον...

Song of the Week | Week 44 [Ride to California]

The truth is that it's a life dream for me to go to California, just on the other side of the world (btw, my boss is there now). I can't wait to go (some day) to California!

The Paper Tongues

Ride To California

Forty forty dollars to the man that wanna go

Twenty twenty to the sister with the ticket at the grocery store

I wish someone would get mine

If ya got an extra dollar can you lend it to a man whos poor

I've been up but I ain't down

I've been lost but now I'm found

I be defeated for sure

If now I got a chance then the city better let me go

(CHORUS)

I can't wait to get a ride to california

Cuz it makes sense to go to california

If hollywood is ready then lets go to california

Cuz it makes sense to go to california

Can I get vote no, lets just go

L.A. road, got no money so

If you was me you'd do tHe same thing you know

So leave your bags at your momma's door

Going going going to the man in the back

Cut the line if ya feel me

Let me hear ya say it one more time

I set my mind to break free

Now my bodies get loose while I'm shakin like a dancing tree

I've been up but I ain't down

I've been lost but now I'm found

I need the livin for sure

If now I got a chance then the city better let me go

(Chorus)

I really gotta catch that ride

I need to find a place in line

I'm pickin up an L.A. vibe

I really wanna go this time (X2)

(Chorus)

Gettin to the freeway green light go

You can even get a plane or a train if the traffics slow

I bet you won't beat me

I've been waiting for a mighty long time so you best believe

I've been up but I ain't down

I've been lost but now I'm found

I need a ticket for sure

If now I got a chance then the city better let me go

(Hey) break free

(Hey) break free

(Hey) break free

(Hey) come go with me (X2)
