Back to the roots

Been on the back of my mind for a while.

Have watched last season of Californication, loaded up the Red Hot, Black Eyes Peas, Soulwax and more and more, a bottle of whisky on the desk, the first pack of cigarettes since two months, some bad night's sleeps and here comes all the optimum conditions for my writing marathon.

I have in back of my mind since a very long time the objective to write a book that would be essentially better than any Dan Brown. Well, read only one, for this book, will keep to the flow, the whole flow, rather than the nice sound of music of sentences.

Got the plot of the book, the first 40 pages written, or so. and aiming to the 350 marks. A personnal bet, starting this evening, finishing when page 349 will lead to 350, well in French, because I hate to have to put the accent when read-proofing, but has to be done this way.

And so it s here or here in paper version, soulwax distortion

Détalonnage des portes

Back to core of this article, the title from this blog is as well following regulations. Regulations can make the world weirder. nice :)

Blame the system, not only the player

Yours truly in a mirror

For DSK, thanks to the press, judgement was made even before an hint of trial took place.
For Armstrong, the decision comes a long long time after, and the UCI (cyclism international body) will struggle to find one that was abusing substances.

For cycling more than 3000 kms, up and down, for 100 to 200 kms per day, you've got to be crazy, and even if you're taking enhancing drugs, pain surely hits at some stage.

So yes, still sth extra human to be done. and I still put my hats off to the man or woman for doing such. After the system is too demanding or simply inefficient.

Or we can unfortunately do what humanity is really good at, just staring at the past and make the present less present.

Mr Loyal and Mr Change


Management is all about change, sure you’ve heard it before.

Manage > Change

Manage < Change

Been rightly taught, well described that:
Manage=change

We’re living in a world of constant change, an equilibrium tremens taking its roots from the certainties of having uncertainties.
 
In my numerous covering letters, (will have to release a book of them one day, I believe in writing towards the target), I am putting the emphasis on two levers I do see as more than essential: the financial dialect, proper to any universe, and the organizational lever.

Every decisions have a fit in an organization. Before making any, one should understand the organization, hence the difficulty to change career at an advanced career stage… I do understand the efforts, still being discarded is the easier option for the other side. Lack of perspectives? I wouldn’t dare going that far in conclusion.
 
Mr loyal will still bring the results, expected or unexpected. That's the deal.

Have a smile, at least once a day

Because it's free, unusual, optimistic, nice, a useful lesson from services business.



And simply because this doesn't need a reason.

it's the opportunity to turn off computers, radio, tv, cellphone, and just give this time for yourself, and your surroundings.

Dear Journalists


What would be nice for "journalists" is to understand that in developped economies, information is already at every corner and they should act more as moderator, than megaphone of the already existing brownian noise.

Well, the CCIJP is another freemasonry... France has the same picture for so long. http://www.ccijp.net/
