Thats a nice introduction. Strange is a key, it can unlock every door. Sophie - Ok, I am here to get the conclusion of the business case I spoke to you before. The bank manager - Before, we were three, put everything you want in it, it s a matter of putting here or there. Sophie - any advices? The bank manager - never, no vices. The screws are all making it better. Sophie - When will it be assessed by the board? The bank manager - The board is here. Sophie where? The bank manager - Well, you can write on it, not sure they will answer though. Sophie - Why is that? The bank manager - Why? Because you're two letters to the conclusion. Better use the post office Sophie - How will I be sure you will be dealing with it seriously? The bank manager - Seriously is a way to read it, is it funny? Sophie - the figures are explaining it all. The bank manager - Don't put a face like that Sophie - Ok, I am getting dubious there, small test, what is two-hundred and twenty four divided by sixteen? The bank manager - Don't know, fourteen? Sophie - Here we go. The bank manager - no, you stay. Sophie - Why can t you clearly say to me yes or no? The bank manager - because a yes would make you too happy and believe for a lot, and a no would make you walk away. Seriously, we have to study seriously your case, you know you want it this way and we cannot make any harsh decision and will assess it in full extent. Sophie - in wide, in length? The bank manager - exactly, in 16:9. Sophie - when will I get the answer? The bank manager - when the answer are going to come to you. Sophie - How will I be advised of that? The bank manager - it s not a question of how, it s a question of why. Sophie - here we go again, to the post office The bank manager - you get it right Sophie - I am taking the left so. The bank manager - Now, you understood it all. Everything is about efficient communication. Sophie - Yes, regarding that, you've got to tell me when your services will be available online. The bank manager - we have improved, we now have 3 dots, so when the line will be connected. Sophie - It ought to be... The bank manager - it ought to. This is the best way I could translate the environment you are drowned in an MBA. Peer pressures is everywhere, dont say too much, its allowed to speak about ethics, its forbidden to think on how to act. As said by one wise guy, we have a clear view of right and wrong during the MBA, we lost it all afterwards. Who will be the first one to enjoy nice compensation, shutting off whistle-blower from below? Yes, us, because weve been trained to get along the feeling that we do worth it. This lie has some truth for me, yes because if you want to change the world, youve got to agree with the past to move along. And What is the best way? Silence, get along with the past, and infuse little by little some of the changes that appears to be worth it. Chapter 28: End of play, after graduation ceremony Outside in the street, he is joining three other expatriates. They finish their internship. Bernd from Hamburg, Javier from Cordoba, and Peter from Bristol. Xavier arrives, shakes hands, and a long discussion starts: Xavier -Je ne comprends pas Javier - Ah porque? lo he dicho muy bien y muy lento. Xavier - Si mais je crois que jai un problème avec laccent. Bernd - Was hast du gesagt, ich habe nicht verstanden. Kannst Du sagen noch einmal? Xavier - Oui, alors ce soir on va du côté du Standing Pig boire une petite pinte Bernd- Was passiert morgen Abend ? Javier - Te vas manana? A donde ? Peter- Getting nowhere so far, I believe its time to speak in English,At least, that willmake everybody getting a grasp. Tonight were going to this pub, the standing pig, am I right, Xavier?

subject, discussed here and there, I am still surprise we are stopping to the same conclusion indicating us that the world is ruled by money and that it is negative. Still, Edward does agree with the general excess: Cash is king, Tax is queen, green not environmentally friendly and other too mathematical concepts.

 As many philosophers put it forward, Nietzche in Ecce Homo, the human is attracted by his desire, most of us have to be first egoist before thinking of sharing. Why? We need a reward on what we are doing: money reward, feedbacks reward. It is bringing the subject of medium.

 As French, Edward sets up the screenplay. Notes and physical guarantee (Gold, Silver,..) were disconnected at the early nineteenth century when Napoleon faced a deep economical crisis. Since then, money did not stop to be unlink from its once material guarantee. Money took a dominant place in any medium of exchange. Following up ownership of land in the middle-age, of the religious lyrics and other wealth, or seen as wealth by the population at the time, we are now arriving to a conclusion, that is drawn a lot in nowadays newspaper: Money is king, it has all powers, it is everywhere. And? 

 The financial world has now achieved the highest rank in the decision ladder, a ladder where China and India took a lift and are now truly superpowers as US, England or France were once. Looking forward, how can we bring the imbalance balanced? Politics have still a word, if a critical numbers of countries agree about it: Tax financial flow, especially when selling shares on the stockmarket, what we will it create, a quick unease when setting up, and the financial world will still find a way forward or only invest to opportunity providing them an ROI above their conceived WACC, and hence we could as idealist believe in a return of a possible stability there. One point to be made, I am not against shareholders at all, I am for responsible investment. As the idea is raised here and there, set up one exchange rate with possibly one developped currency, and one emerging currency, or as we know a mix of all 30% US 30% BRIC 30% Europe and the last 10% up for negotiations. 

Like any play, the play of money needs rule. More than that, the play needs to be understood by everyone who wants to. Too complex nowadays. Well, yes these are ideas spoken in the past, a discussion into the future and possible a way out of the current mess, restabilising the whole system by its own means with the same techniques. To conclude, Jackson Pollock provided us with a view on where we are lying. Our imagination paves the way, and looking back on it, this painting looks as well like the complex world of finance, with flows everywhere. How can we get people interested in this contemporary world where we first look to be lost? Chapter 27: Never listen to the mads, they might even say the truth Insight on a small world in upper case, because I had to consider the line at one stage, and Edwards always listen to the mads, I am his little voice and mads always say the truth in a different frame. We just dont know how to listen carefully to them. Sophie, entering the bank - Hi, How are you? The receptionist - I am me. How, I don't know. Sophie - Where is the reception? The receptionist - in the entrance hall. Sophie - Nobody there? The receptionist - Nobody here. Sophie - Ok, I am searching the bank manager. The receptionist - Everybody is searching him these days and even before. Sophie, Looking around - Ok, there, there is a sign. It is written, it is there. The receptionist - When you are going to walk there, will it write it's here? Sophie walks to the office. Sophie - Good afternoon, I met a strange person at the reception. The bank manager - are you sure it was the reception? Sophie - It was strange. The bank manager -

 Chapter 26: Arts, Media and Politics Stepping into the museum, Edward would entitle this artwork as the ideal world viewed by economy, no frontier, no barrier, an invisible hands drawing it around Arts had this feeling before the common experience it. This paintings of Jackson Pollock, all right reserved, is one of many. I found here the common disturbed conglomerate of where we are living nowadays. Linking to this, Edwardss spirit drifted to one world of communication. On one side, Media, On the other, Politics. Internet is a catalyst for such a move, in what we described a fast paced environment Fast-paced, and going everywhere, Medias cover everything from the latest cinema release, to the rereview of political elections and the latest chosen politics move. In such a world, the spectator is drown in disarray, and rather than getting clear information, is driven to a world of questions, essential and not. 

 Information are coming from everywhere, from every field, and transmitted to every one, or almost. Now how to focus and understand the picture lying around. Perceptions vary from one to the other. In the painting above, colors are taking Edward to perceive a forest, in autumn time, colors proficiently dynamising the whole picture. Now from one to the other, perceptions vary, change and discussion are raised and shared, and this painting, to keep the metaphor, give birth to another structure, to another environment. We can understand, or we can just ignore the mess around. Politics evolve in such a picture, attempting to assemble and disassemble key trend and focus one policy. 

The public, having a view of the painting, walks through the understanding of the process, related through media and journalism. Still, at every political decisions, we rightly target the politics. Edward still wonder why when any problem rising around, protectionism, environmental concerns, financial imbalance. Social disarray, Edward wonders why only politics are mainly targeted. As he used to say, his political view is simple: If you know what you were doing, why did you do it? In a play of appearances, the elected ones are the closer to the stage, and the easier to relate. Edward cannot keep up with the pace around. Wkileaks, comments, internet news all around, Information is there. Now journalism has 2 future in front of them: Keep informing people objectively Informing and sharing a critical and constructive view on a subject While information needs to be treated objectively via mainstream media, Edward still thinks some medias, mainly written, should use their extensive network and knowledge to propose a way out of the information lying around. I would take there one to inform Lemonde courier International and others, and for example Marianne to not only criticize but build. This latter has an history of good analysis. Coming back to his home country, Edward would still like to have to face his personnal analysis and way forward, and built from there, where we are going. Why Marianne? I did enjoy the report Europe this country we never arrive to, Still under the indignation and pessimism rooted in his country, Edwards would like more discussion and less negative photography on what happen, example: Cash and the financial world, with no more ideas forward. To come back on a

value by essence between 2 or more individuals. Edward does now believe he is got a nice material for a new play, good, theater is one good way to practice effective communication and assess the effect of a given one on the audience. Well, as for me, I am listening to the knock knock on the other side of the window. What do you say?

 XI: Ok this is it, the final countdown: Jai rencontré un fou qui n'a pas arrêté de déclamer et m'a mis dans une situation a laquelle je nétais pas préparé. Et vous? On est donc le premier janvier 2000, je suis né. Jai commencé par mébahir dans un siècle nouveau, à 4 pattes, le sourire aux lèvres, indifférents aux événements. Alors que japprenais mes premiers mots, des avions se sont éteints dans un grand feu dune contrée éloignée. Mes parents n'écoutaient plus mes gagas, et était à écouter la télé la bouche bée. Lanniversaire de mes deux ans ma envoyé pleins de messages subliminaux, on est parti en vacances pour échapper a loppression, je me suis presse sous les barbelés et jai pris mon premier bain dans une belle mare d a cote. 2003, je commençais à pianoter, me videostreamer, étaler ma joie sur les différentes ondes soffrant a moi, je n'écoutais toujours pas, je continuais de parler pour le plus beau plaisir de mentendre. 2004 mon grand frère est parti, a ce jour je ne lai toujours pas revu. 2005, les cours de dactylo donnes par linstitutrice me permettait de commencer à découvrir, un appétit gargantuesque qui est venu en grandissant et qui ne sest jamais trouve rempli malheureusement 2006, mes premières multiplications, la rationalisation calorique des énergies qui me faisait gambader et continuer de voir et scruter ce long écran noir quétait la télé 2007 année de la sagesse à se regarder dans le miroir, je me faisais la morale et continuais de vivre de courir sans jamais marrêter, juste parce que je le pouvais et que cest quand on peut que les choses doivent être faites 2008, tout le monde revenait en arrière, mes parents ont sorti la super huit, ont rangé la camera DV et m'ont fait profité de mémoires courtes le long dun canal maintenant réputé 2009 mes parents ont déménagé, ils ont mis la clé sous la porte, moi dans la voiture, la dernière fois que je jouais avec mon nounours Prosper et que je me mettais a gameboytiser dans la voiture comme ci rien autour de moi ne pouvait me déranger 2010 je commençais à comprendre le monde autour de moi, cest pour cela que je ny faisais plus attention. Il ne la cherchait pas, on sentendait bien. 2011 jentrais au collège, une année de retard au CP se répercutaient dans un effet domino prédominé 2012 je découvrais la casquette, le basket le premier bécot, la première cigarette 2013 année malheur, année disette, on mangeait des pates, je nallais plus a la cantine, je ny jouais plus avec les aliments, ca avait perdu de son intérêt. 2014 je me mettais au piano et apprenais à bouger mes doigts avec paralysie, époque de mon premier poème, il restera incompris. 2015 ma première fugue, j en avais assez je ne pouvais plus continuer de me retrouver dans ce carcan loin de mes idéaux braves et rêveurs 2016 Neuf mois que je suis revenu, mes parents sont heureux, je nallais pas revenir sans oublier de leur donner le sourire.

view through an additional layer one would say; still it deserves more understanding because it explains a lot of misunderstanding. Why? Lets come back to the strikes, just post my blog note on it yesterday and I have learned today that anyway the law has finally and successfully passed. So as it was in the conclusion of my note, useless conclusion now, as it is impacting the whole essence of the writings before. 

 Here Ive learned two different ways of educating philosophy. The Western Europe one through introduction development conclusion and the US ones through context, facts, facts, facts (or what it is assimilated to be facts) and explanation. Its not new that English language is more direct than its European counterparts: French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Italian. I believe ours are more emotional, still rational, but my personal feeling on it, take a book from Carlos Luis Zafon in Spanish, one from Paul Auster in English, 

Why them? 2 of my favorites authors. Still, I believe you will see the difference of the mood the readers is put in. I do agree part is due to the style of writing; still some is due to the language used. I keep repeating it, in English, with plenty of words only of one syllabus, hard to compete with multi-syllabus languages. It is kind of impacting the whole experience I believe, it is kind of helping making English the norm, as easier and more direct.

 Fact? TV shows through the frame of the TV. Should you had a shitt* day, with rainy weather, and with problems on public transportation making you late. Even if this latter wasnt due to strikes, when looking to the information, which is nicely simplifying the frame for you, chances are that you will link one to the other, while it appears objectively there might have been no interrelation. Call me a philosopher; I prefer to consider myself as a pragmatist looking through the prism of everydays life. It helps understand, it helps being objective. So now, the big unknowns, searching a job, what is the frame of the human resources person looking to her/his emails? Values: work values giving the belief we need to be efficient. Hence good chance, you will be the 100th applicants to the jobs, and the screening will be quick. List your arguments; it can depend of so many things we cannot control.

 Example: HR in Paris or any other big cities, 20% of chance your application will be first reviewed by a filter person or an intern, who came to work by metro and started its day at 8. Either you are read at 8.30 or at 10.30 after a coffee break and chitchat with others, or at the end of the day. Would you dare to be original given the high risk that the person might not be receptive to fancy description during 75% of the day? Would you write a novel? Speak about your childhood? Or get it over bullet points? 

 As a writer, I still aim to offer a break possibly to the reader of my covering letter, if going that far. Yes I am searching a job, and yes as a writer, I still want the nicely disposed and written paragraph, a flow that leads you to the conclusion: not a torrent, not an ocean, not a small river, they are not salmons; they need a break, if I dare use the image. Given that most of the times, we will not be aware of what is happening in the environment and the context of the others, reading news, and keeping update of the frame, demographic and geographic, is of first help. I still do believe one would advertise and communicate better through the numerous channels of communication we know have by being true to him/her. You have your values, your beliefs. Communication is about interaction, and misunderstandings are so easy to be created, that it’s easier to kiss it (Kiss: keep it simple and stupid). 

Communication is an exchange of words by the facts; communication is an exchange of point of view, beliefs,

privileges, dangerous for any business development, with trade unions walking out every two days of the week, and so on, and so on. Ok some is true, to some extent, and here Edward puts the point with the opening conclusion he heard back and forth: it depends you know it does not. Stand up for your f***ing beliefs. 

 At this stage, Edward got enough, and started to write his own memories. But just as he spoke, he got inspired by another topic, X HYPERLINK "http://stotb.blogspot.com/2010/03/chapter-11-making-news.html" : making the news This morning, bb takes his coffee of plasma and just discovers the news (see chapter IX). So, he is not forgotten, still are they going to break his secret? The one he kept for so long. During eighteen to twenty four months, he is going to be the center of attention, people looking to his private intimacy. He is getting quite shy. Believe it or not, but they might have discovered how to get him naked, who would like that?

 Cannot they stay with some questions and leave it so? No theyve got to know. At least part of them wants to know. It is another secret that is going to be discovered at the end, after Newton his theory of gravity based on an apple, after Galilee discovering the earth is not flat, after all the improvements and discovery made in optics. It is the longest and most sustainable red line they have been following. BB just think about it, turn his back on time, and well doesnt mind, hes got nothing to hide, for so long, they didnt know where to look, so why should it happen in just a century. 

 Now he decide to invent the sun, she came as morning burp, one of many thats going to come, the process is ongoing, exiting sun, and giving birth o light in the same time he can now uncover his own infant, he can hear the nice sound going around, noise being created by what he created before gravity. He is at the origin of every single product down there, thinking at the speed of light and even more. All is now stating a dance of aggregating disaggregating, moon getting compounded, asteroids running around with these trace of origins, water, ice, vapor, electrons, electromagnetic waves, every single one of its child now surfs on these cosmetically structure breaking apart. Soon enough, he will see he first Earth being created, soon enough, she is not impatient. 

 He is clinging eyes, asteroids going back to the origin getting this potential speed to go even further. His project is now taking birth under his own multiple eyes. Everything, he can feel this craziness filling him of all these weird sensations of unknown, reacting to uncertainty measuring the risk, inputting more input, destroying the incomplete, replacing the complete, a delicate solar wind is now caressing her cheek. Yes, for the first time, he believes it was worth the risk. All these disbelief in front of him and now all that created, and more to come. Why to stop on this way, he keeps on going, she keeps dancing, he invents nature, she invents ocean and sea, he is clinging the eyes of the moon, she is creating Earth from a collision between the moon and anther asteroids. Too much details, she cannot pay attention to everything going around, he is focusing on the upper scale, trying to grab the broad view necessary in such a case. 

He still cannot understand anything apart that everything down there has a meaning and everything is coming from her. She is on the verge of succeeding a one life shot, no strategy apart than reacting on the go, no plan down, he couldnt make any sense of the unknowns turning around Chapter 25: Opening a window, we dont necessarily need a clench Edward put all his experience on the balance and threw it at the window. It appears people are not listening to objective facts, but through the frames the facts are put through. It is rather a constructivist

the machine has exhibited performance that was "remarkable", according to Cern director general Rolf Heuer. In an announcement of the three and a half TeV result, he congratulated the LHC team and stressed the cutting-edge nature of its work. 

 "We must not lose sight of the fact that the LHC is new, and it wasn't bought off the shelf," he wrote. As with all particle accelerators, the LHC will be periodically shut down for maintenance, but LHC officials recently decided to significantly lengthen the shutdown period. This is in part because the machine takes so long to reach and return from the low temperatures required for its experiments. But the shutdown scheduled for late two thousand and ten will also address an issue with the joints between the machine's superconducting magnets, which must be strengthened before the LHC can run at even higher energies. 

 "It is a state of the art prototype that is pushing the limits of technology across a wide range of disciplines, and as such it needs to be treated with the greatest respect," Professor Heuer wrote. "It takes time, but as we've seen this week, patience pays dividends." Source:  HYPERLINK "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8576545.st" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8576545.st 

 Chapter 24: Multicultural gazpacho Yes could have obviously started with bulls . Given the location I am in, but the first point you get in a business school is to follow the peers pressure and behave in all political correctness. Edward includes himself in the examples; still he had the great luck to travel a fair amount. Even if it does not excuse, Edward is finally happy to discover his first feelings is supported by his modern society teacher. Even if this wonderful person had to apologize to the crowd and to come back to the world of the politically correct. What a wonderful world. Business is a boring world. Coming back to the point: Where is diversity? Here? Ethically, we defend the notion but we will always put our personal interest first, we are common following the same frame of courses, or almost identical. Language-wise, English is not the preferred language, it is the language of business. Ok I might go too far there and could have applied to the native cursus. Still, and even there, counting on fingers people interested and motivated in going to some of the native module Edward is following, Financially, how many of us get the backup for 50% up to total coverage of tuition fees? How many of us get the backup for living expenses? 

An MBA is a world of privileges, a world of rights that others dont enjoy. At 50K¬ the entry fee, diversity is widely restrained. This is raising another point, about diversity in business sphere. Given we are coming from a wealthy background, with some family related network and so on, it might appear easy to see that a transition of business to ethical business won t take place any time soon. Succession planning? Which succession planning? Most companies are opportunistic and will recruit the most opportunist and wealthy, in term of qualitative and quantitative, person. Education-wise, first school I am where participation weighs as much as any assessments on what you understood. Yes with that kind of structure, ten years ago, I would be entering Oxford hands up and would not have felt the necessity to carry out an MBA. Networking-wise, follow the path traced, I am blessed with the gift of empathy. I know they will be the first persons to leave the boat if something happens. Why trusting these guys? Because they are the future. 

Well I will continue play the game Yes, An MBA is even more disputable, coming straight from our Americans cousins; it still has some issues to get rid of this inheritance. Given all the bashing France is getting, I would get harmed if I wasn´t living there: France is a country of
