Quotes of the day
Jim Rohn has said, “Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.”
Similarly, Benjamin P. Hardy once wrote, “Spend 20% of your energy on your work and 80% of your energy on recovery and self-improvement.”
Said Benjamin P. Hardy, “Success is 20 steps in one direction instead of 1 step in 20 directions.”

Scrisoare deschisă șoferului român

Impărtășesc câteva gânduri referitoare la șofat, conduita in trafic, șofat defensiv si așteptări de la autorități.
Gânduri despre romani in general la volan
- Nu semnalizează schimbarea direcției de mers
- Nu se încadrează corespunzător pe banda de mers
- Nu acorda prioritate la trecerea de pietoni
- Nu se asigura la efectuarea manevrei de depășire (asigurare in fata, nici in spate)
- Nu folosesc luminile de drum
- Nu au o conduita preventivă si nici nu sunt atenți : in trafic suntem foarte imprudenți si agresivi
- Nu prea se concentrează pe sofat(vorbesc la telefon fără handsfree, stau pe social media, orice mai puțin sa fie activi implicați mental in activitatea de a șofa)
- Nu folosesc corespunzător banda a 2 a de pe autostrada (romanul s-a născut pe banda a 2 a)
- Sunt relaxați in privința consumului de alcool la volan
- Nu avem cultura mersului pe autostrada deși paradoxal ne dorim autoastrazi si “civilizație ca afara”
Evident nu ma refer la toți romanii, însă marea majoritate din păcate se încadrează la observațiile de mai sus, observații ce vin in urma a 19 ani de supraviețuit in trafic.
Integrity

Two of my favorite quotes regarding leadership and management:
”Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn’t blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won’t cheat, then you know he never will.” – John D. MacDonald
“Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, and treating people with respect.” – Stephen Covey
