Spanish PM Zapatero gone

It scares me to death what these weak politicians who unfortunately rule Spain nowadays might give us up in order not to defend the Nation. Zapatero and his friends resemble Agila II and his gang of witiza-ists, who wouldn't hesitate to sell their own countrymen to the Muslim Caliphate in vengeance.

Love and Freedom.

MBA at LBS: Lesson 1

Hello again dear readers!

 

Lots of things have happened since I last wrote to you. For instance, I was accepted to the MBAs of both Insead and London Business School. After a lengthy, careful thought process I chose to join the London Business School. And so here I am, sharing the next two years with other 400+ ambitious potential leaders.

 

The first lesson from the MBA reinforces an idea I already had: Whereas one of the most difficult things to achieve is to convince someone to change their mind in one-to-one  conversations, convincing many people by using techniques of mass persuasion is among the easiest ones.

 

In our Understanding General Management module we discussed two cases: Honda and Apple. We all know that it is very hard to persuade someone in a one-to-one conversation that Honda is better than Yamaha or that Macs are better than PCs if they already had a predetermined view. The first report of each case conveyed a positive view of the company, which seemed to explain its success; during the debates that followed most people seemed to believe this report and voiced very positive opinions on the leaders of these companies (Soichiro Honda and Steve Jobs).

 

However, the second report of each case portrayed a more realistic, even slightly negative version of the story to explain the success of the company. Suddenly, almost everyone changed their mind, bought in the last version and suggested they always knew the first version was not realistic and expressed their concerns about the qualities of the company leaders.

 

It looks like MBA candidates are no better than the average citizen.

 

Love and Freedom.

Resultados de Ciudadanos en Blanco en las Elecciones Municipales 2011

Ciudadanos en Blanco ha conseguido mandar al paro a 4 políticos en España. La primera vez que se dejan escaños vacíos en España.

En Sevilla Ciudadanos en Blanco ha conseguido 2.062 votos (séptimo partido), un éxito teniendo en cuenta que el presupuesto para la campaña ha sido de 40 euros.

En Cádiz Ciudadanos en Blanco ha conseguido 450 votos; está muy bien pues sólo ha habido 2 personas haciendo campaña, una campaña que he patrocinado yo (así que sé lo poquito que nos hemos gastado).

En sus primeras elecciones para la Asamblea de Madrid CenB ha recibido casi 20.000 votos (sexto partido).

En estas elecciones municipales de 2011 ha habido más de 500.000 de votos en blanco en toda España además de los casi 40.000 votos a Ciudadanos en Blanco.

Definitivamente el voto en blanco y los escaños vacíos son opciones que algunos votantes quieren usar. Considerando que es una opción que no es violenta ni va en contra de los derechos humanos establecidos en la Constitución, el voto en blanco computable debería ser legalizado. Si algunos creen que no es una opción interesante, pues que no la voten.

Love and Freedom.

Should there actually be one, the "contract of the taxpayer with the State" should not include a clause like the following one: "The State shall make every effort to save the life of those citizens who put themselves in danger for private interests."

Such contract should include the following: "Any citizens who put themselves in danger (eg., mountain climbing, working in Lybia) should cover the costs of their rescue if not on a mission ordered by the State".

Love and Freedom.

Ismael Serrano

Ismael Serrano has a lovely voice that has made him a millionaire; good for him (and for his listeners). But he has a number of political opinions that make him a stupid ignorant; I feel sorry for him and his (politically-aligned) followers.

Particularly "Papá, cuéntame otra vez" is a sung list of the immature, false, hypocritical political ideas usually held by stubborn losers who don't want to accept that reality continually proves them wrong.

Love and Freedom.

Where is home?

My opinion about where home is located is the following:

Should, at some point in your life, the location where the person who you want to live and found a family with lives coincide geographically with the location where you have a job which you are interested in pursuing long-term, then you are bound to remain at that place, even though you may not have thought about it before. In other words:

(family/partner + interesting job) at some location = that location is your home

...even if it's in the Patagonia.

Until that point in your life, home is usually located where the family of which you are offspring is found.

Love and Freedom.


+++++++++

Mi opinión sobre dónde está tu hogar es el siguiente:

Si en un momento de tu vida el lugar donde vive la persona con la que quieres vivir y fundar una familia coincide geográficamente con el lugar donde tienes un trabajo que te interesa proseguir a largo plazo, en ese sitio acabas quedándote, aunque nunca se te hubiera ocurrido antes. Es decir:

(familia/pareja + trabajo interesante) en cierto lugar = ese lugar es tu casa

... aunque sea en la Patagonia.

Hasta ese momento tu hogar suele localizarse donde se encuentre la familia de la que eres prole.

Amor y Libertad.
