¿Paraque que hay madres?

Si un niño te pregunta: ¿qué te dirige a tener éxito? Tú, ¿qué responderías? En el siguiente vídeo (4′) Richard St John explica las palabras clave que pueden llevarte a alcanzar el éxito en tu vida en una conferencia deTED Talks. Claro que los niños no suelen hacer ese tipo de preguntas, y como decía Taisen Deshimaru Roshi, preguntado si no sería bueno enseñarles ya a los niños la meditación zen: “Si, claro, pero sin duda es mejor darles un galletita…” …anyway, los tres minutos que dura serán una buena inversión!

Target marketing: un día maravilloso

Algo largo para mi gusto, pero muy bueno:

Peter Drucker quotes

by Harry Joiner

In a small salute to his life, following are twenty reasons to love Peter Drucker — a few of my favorite quotes from The Daily Drucker.  As I compiled them, I was reminded of the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs, who once said “There are no bad Who songs; there are only less good ones.”  And so it is with Peter Drucker.  These are my favorites today.  But I’m sure I’ll wish I had included many others tomorrow.

1. The critical question is not “How can I achieve?” but “What can I contribute?”
2. There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer.  He alone gives employment.
3. It is easier to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass.
4. Leadership is not rank.  It is responsibility.
5. An executive should be a realist; and no one is less realistic than the cynic.
6. You cannot prevent a major catastrophe, but you can build an organization that is battle-ready, where people trust one another.  In military training, the first rule is to instill soldiers with trust in their officers — because without trust, they won’t fight.
7. Listening (the first competence of leadership) is not a skill, it is a discipline.  All you have to do is keep your mouth shut.
8. It is easy to look good in a boom.
9. Luck never built a business.  Prosperity and growth come only to the business that systematically finds and exploits its potential.
10. The one person to distrust is the one who never makes a mistake.  Either he is a phony, or he stays with the safe, the tried, and the trivial.
11. There are keys to success in managing bosses.  First, put down on a piece of paper a “boss list,” everyone to whom you are accountable.  Next, go to each person on the list and ask, “What do I do and what do my people do that helps you do your job?”  And, “What do we do that makes your life more difficult?”
12. Workmanship is essential:  In fact, an organization demoralizes itself if it does not demand of its members the highest workmanship.
13. A decision is a commitment to action.  No decision has, in fact, been made until carrying it out has become somebody’s responsibility.
14. It’s much easier to sell the Brooklyn Bridge than to give it away.  Nobody trusts you if you offer something for free.
15. The ultimate test of an information system is that there are no surprises.
16. Until a business returns a profit that is greater than its cost of capital, it does not create wealth — it destroys it.
17. The question has to be asked — and asked seriously — “If we did not do this already, would we go into it now?”  If the answer is no, the reaction must be “What do we do now?”  Very often, the right answer is abandonment.
18. Freedom is not fun.  It is a responsible choice.
19. One can’t manage change.  One can only be ahead of it.
20. Just go out and make yourself useful.

Handling Rejection During Your Job Search

By: Andrew Morris

Getting rejected when you apply for a job is not an easy thing but it cannot be avoided. The way to avoid taking rejection personally is by looking at it from an entirely different point of view. The fact that you are getting rejected means that your chances of getting a job are actually improving.

The reason for this is that by job hunting and getting rejected, you tend to understand more about yourself and the job marketplace and what this does is that it gives you more information to work with at subsequent interviews.

A basic fact you should get into your head when job searching is that you will likely encounter more rejection than acceptance during the quest for a job. Your aim is to find that one opportunity that will turn out to be a success.

Found this inspiring:

Aprende el movimiento

En primero de curso me encontré con un proyectos final de carrera fantástico; no recuerde el proyecto, pero si, que me impresionó tanto, que descubrí al autor y le pedí que me enseñase como aprender hacer esa maravilla.

-No se puede aprender hacer Arquitectura- , me respondió. –Lo único que se puede hacer es entrenarse a tomar cada vez mejoras decisiones, cada vez más rápido. Es como tirar a una diana: Nunca te fijes en la meta, ¡aprende el movimiento!-
