Be happy every day... Miscellaneous Ramblings 2008-05-16T03:27:13Z WordPress http://www.johnscali.com/feed/atom/ johnscali <![CDATA[Quote of the day]]> http://www.johnscali.com/?p=28 2008-05-16T03:27:13Z 2008-05-16T02:42:59Z Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
- Albert Schweitzer

This seems to me a beautiful quote. A good memory only conspire against your happiness. Because remember means remember bad things algonside with good moments, facts, or simple memories. But our nature always decide to show strongly the bad part of the past. So, bad memory means an aid to reach the happiness.
Well done, Albert!

A simple and very superficial discussion. But she was very very upset, more that normal, logical and worthy. Of course we finished separated and with no talk at all.

But I know that she loves me and that I love her. And that nothing can distroy that feelings. So, I don’t know when and how but know that sonner or later we will sit and talk.

Behind this bad moment and in the middle of a sad night, I feel more or less happy, because I can see the final countdown. I see our love, and I feel her love in me. You can say, its enoguh? Yes, its enough to make me happy. After all.

One more thing that makes me happy is to leave a problem solved. Yes, you can tell me that this is true for almost 99.99% of people working these days, and the rest are in the insane asylum. Of course.

But I have to explain. In my daily work I face troubles every day. That is my job, and the reason why my company pays my salary. All day I am working with more or less difficult problems. When I face a problem or simply a diificulty for the normal running of things, I first focuse in my soul. Yes, in my soul. I try to get it calm, resting, and clear.

The worst part of solving a problems is not to have the tools. And the numer one tool that you need is your soul. It controls your brain, and your head cannot think properly if your soul is nervious, disturbated or angry. So, first stage, be calm.

Second is to govern your brain, put your brain to work and examine options, solutions, and espaces always towards ahead. Not back. And magically, solutions appear, and optione emerge to solve your problem.

All this process every day maje your adrenaline up and up. And this is a pleasure with no imitations, is a physical pleasure, including sensations in your body. That phenomenum makes me happy.

johnscali <![CDATA[You are close to lose your internet connection]]> http://www.johnscali.com/?p=22 2008-04-27T20:10:41Z 2008-04-27T20:10:41Z In these days the term is being overcome that with theatricalities Microsoft gave to Yahoo to come to his purchase, that is to say, to accept its supply of 44 billion dollars.

If Yahoo finally accepts, Internet will be leave what it is, and the crop of the monopoly definitively will be implanted in it. It is not a solely question of businesses, we were not beleave that caramel. It is much more. It is to let have a free atmosphere to contaminate it with more of the same, the money behind catching the good intentions only to reproduce, without adding nothing new.

Today there are three great poles of development in Internet: Google, Yahoo and of course Microsoft, after it to have denied and to have vilipended years back. If this purchase takes shape they will be left only two. It will be a loss that we will be sorry always.

It is very clear for me that if the future of Internet depends on fusions or mega acquisitions, already Google had seized of Yahoo a long time ago, has the power, attractive and the banking account to do it. Pero Google thanks to God chose to grow thanks to inventiveness, creativity, and good ideas. Not by means of the money only.

But Bill is Bill and he will never change. God frees to us.

johnscali <![CDATA[Internet makes me happy]]> http://www.johnscali.com/?p=21 2008-04-21T01:17:48Z 2008-04-21T01:17:48Z Yes, you can say how it is possible?. But I have to explain it. When internet began to be massive, in the first part of 90s, I have a lot of expectations about it. It was so new, so amazing, that it could be called a humankind dream. Of course it is not so important, but a lot of hopings were made reality.

First of all, productivity gre up to limits never known. I have a lot of things in my everyday work that its impossible to think to make them without internet. Second, communications. A lot of com tools were developed to reach a high performance connecting people all around the world.

And third, culture. A big librarian free for all and collecting every day a lot of documents, papers, articles, knowledge that is being disseminated around the globe and for all people who can read.

Yes, internet makes me happy.

johnscali <![CDATA[Be happy with small things]]> http://www.johnscali.com/?p=20 2008-04-17T02:44:32Z 2008-04-17T02:44:32Z Today I have an example of to being happy with small and often negligible things. I was at my office, working hard as every day, and my boss phone me. He was worried about a big project that I am managing, and particularly about a supplier that could be less commited than what we thought. He asked me very hungry about that.

My answer was simple: you trusted me when we contracted five months ago, so you have to trust me now, the men is serious, he will not fail.

Then he answered: ok, I believe in you. You always get the goal, you are a “safe man”, what was I thinking when I came afraid?.

OK, this are the simple things that make me happy. Do you?

It refers to what is meant by good governance globalized. Montaner cited ten measures that must play a modern government to make progress and let its people to live in freedom and development.

The ten points Montaner point as those that identify a developed country are:

- Avoid hand over to the state bureaucracy the control of the economy. They are clumsy.

- The currency must be strong to allow savings. This basically requires good management of public finances.

- English is the language of globalization and the computer is the most commonly used vehicle. Encouraging these two things is the duty of local authority.

- All things that benefit the transfer of technology and knowledge are positive, which are damaging them are negative.

- The operation of state and private companies should be transparent and should be accessible to the audits.

- Among the worst enemies of prosperity is the discretion of public officials that allow them to reward friends and punish enemies.

- The main function of the state is not charity but exercise to purposely create conditions in which people can currently make progress on their own.

- Inviting foreign capital and leave the economic nationalism.

- Promoting investment in human capital abroad.

If we can celebrate or criticize each government decision considering their guidance by this ten precepts, I think that each country could be more serious.
