Oh, well, hello...
Since my last post I have been thinking of this blog. Sometimes simple enthusiasm is enough to start something new (sometimes you must.. :) ). However every post could be something new and being so, could be feeded with inner spirit, keeping alive this blog for long term is different and more difficult.
Similar to starting an own company or to getting married :), you need an overall aim & direction and a continuous belief behind. (according to the movie Juliet & Julia a timeframe as well..) All in all since my last post I have been thinking of this. What the hell sould I put in here? What is in for you and for me?
There are people, there are such a personalities, who enjoy goal setting. Their life is about target and shoot. Others simply cannot set a direction thoughtfully. This guys say 'A' easily but the next hour they forget (or sometimes say 'B').
I am reading the book 'Amazon.com' right now. The author draws a very disciplined story, Jeff Bezos planned everything from the beginning, no surprizes, no meaningless roaming around.. Usually the mainstream startup/successfull businessman storytellers use the same approach. But I wonder, did these people really keep themselves to their goals? Did they radiate unlimited energy every day, every morning and every night? ...
For now my purpose is ready! I am going to conduct an experiment! Hypothesis: Can the anonim publicity of the internet force me to be more disciplined? Can this fact (i.e. the power of being observed) strenghten my soul and brain enough to act like the heroes of business success stories?
Every day I am going to write about my day, more precisely all the deeds I made in order to build up my company. (Wrong and good deeds as well, I will not lie, I promise). During this (to be loyal to the original title and meaning of this blog) you can read about the backgrounds of my actions, and so we will touch many things (ideas, books, music, people, philosophy, society, and so on..).
I hope you will enjoy it, ...and one more thing: the story is not written in advance, much more it is interactive! Leave comments, which could influence my next day...

Babylon over me
Babylon is the big city. Babylon is a lot of people. Lot of people could do a lot of things. Babylon needs order and structure. Babylon needs bureaucracy. Babylon is over me.
Today afternoon there was a system breakdown in our shop's district. These times the sun goes down comes earlier and earlier, so it happened to be totally dark at about 5 pm. People - who normally walk one by one - were starting to mengle: "what happened?" "...last time when..." "those stupids at the construction site..." "how long does it take ot repari..." and so on...
Little groups, little touches. A common topic and same side. No wonder, happens everywhere. Easy like that - it just let me think about us.
OK, I do not want to be the million and first who say the same thing! Let me put in this way: how could I force down the "moment made frustration" happened to me when I saw people throw garbage on the train, stole money from the cash register in a planned way, passing by from the right side by car and so on.
What should I say to myself?
In my work I am continously seeking for the value added - I am a value creation - beliver, actually. This is the thing: somewhere this is my purpose of professional living (please do not wrap me into the workoholic category - of course the first is my family! Lets define professional living as social role and responsibility.)
I am trying and trying to do my best, improve and flourish. This is all I can do. When I get home, have a bier, and say to myself: no more work, no more responsibility, no women no cry.. (oh I strayed away :) )
Is this argumentation strong enough to obsolete the hot points of the interaction with my wider environment? Does it get me down to a selfish way of living, a blind and "only the neccessary" approach?
Whatever.. During this "sailing on the waves of the ocean of "Big Thoughts and the Small Human Being" (like a pirate - get it?) A lot of thing happened.
I found Mattafix songs on the net. And deciced to think through again and revise my answer to "what business I am in?" question. And it is really time to find a sysmpathetic non-profit organization, who needs my helping hands. Oh, and this is really a must: get the book "Tribes" and yeah, read thoroughly.
And kiss my wife, because she is at home already. :)
