The Beckhams and the Hiltons of the web
A british school survey carried out by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers lead to the conclusion that 75% of today’s school children want to become famous sport or pop stars. Boys prefer David Beckham while girls favour Victoria Beckham or Paris Hilton. The teachers are alarmed, because most of the children will realize that… Continue reading The Beckhams and the Hiltons of the web

My Starbucks Idea – business 2.0
“Name tags on employees. I like to be able to start a conversation with a name. I see the same folks all the time and enjoy speaking with them, but i don’t always remember their names.” “Not all employees are as friendly as they should. I think you should reemphasize customer service since that is… Continue reading My Starbucks Idea – business 2.0
Inspiration benevolence
There is a silent revolution going on, a guerilla of creatives, leaving their footprints around. Goodness is spreading, slowly, but surely – and we each can be a part of it, but only by taking action, even the smallest one. The picture above is from Natalija’s flower gifting – yes, gifting. Walking around and leaving… Continue reading Inspiration benevolence
Yogi tea remedy
heal your next cold with a natural yogi remedy which should kick the virus out: 1 fist size chunk of ginger, boiled with 16 black pepper corn for 20 minutes – sweeten with honey and a decent amount of milk, drink over the day.

Being as you are, in the business world

Sometimes I am a Doozer
When I was a child I was watching every episode of “Fraggle Rock” (in Austria it was called “The Fraggles”). I was fascinated by the underground world where the Fraggles lived (together with the so called Doozers) as well as by the other worlds where the Gorgs lived or the human world (called as “Outer… Continue reading Sometimes I am a Doozer

Nature
These are pictures from last weekend. We went out on the country side, leaving the city and its vibrant soul behind, to reach something more calm where we could watch the world from a mountain top, be in silence with the trees. These moments are some of the best ones, away from the busyness of… Continue reading Nature
iSmoke
Oh – this is new! It’s not comparing advertisement anymore, it’s supporting advertisement now! Did Apple pay Lucky Strike to do this or did Lucky Strike pay Apple to use the shape of an iPod? Nice idea!

Keeping a diary supports personal development
Sometimes people translate the daily stuff in words that affect us profoundly. I am keeping a diary since i’m a kid, writing mostly everyday – the good, the bad, and everything in between.

I just felt in love with this picture. The girls each look busy into something, in their own world.
East Café
I don’t know why, but I have this psychological barrier that’s keeping me from getting to get to my friend’s place, where I stored a few boxes of my personal belongings. I can’t find my passport and I assume it must be there. It’s not at the end of the world, it’s just east of… Continue reading East CafĂ©
