Having the perfect version of Yourself?

Well, I just saw Limitless (the movie) a couple of our ago and it raised a question: why can't we have the perfect version of ourselves?


Ok, the movie is fiction about a drug that makes you assess all the parts of the brain and all that (allegedly) it might "unleash".
It was a nice movie, I had fun, but the thing is: why can't he make the best of our capabilities without any drug?


If you see, there's a lot of time spent on doing things that take you nowhere and you could easily make that productive. What do I mean?


Well, we all have our goals in life and, don't get me wrong, but most of us see it just as a theoretical thing, a "it would be awesome to have that or be that" kind of thing.


The main problem, in my opinion, is that most of us don't have the balls to get out of our comfort zone and actually take the risk of living life to the fullest and have all we want.
I'm not saying not to have fun or hangout, sure that's very important (otherwise you'll go crazy), but use that time wisely if you want to succeed in meeting your goals.


Otherwise, you'll get to end of your life wondering what you could have done or been.


I leave you guys with this thought: Time is the most valuable asset, use it well - or do you want to be another guy/girl wondering how far you could have gone?

If you think of yourself as a Business Man...pay attention!!

I was wondering around, seeing what the world had to say today and I found this very interesting article "20 Business Truisms That Can Change Your Life" which I found amazingly right. Let me share them with you:

1. If you don’t know, say so. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, stop talking.
2. Whether negotiation is strong or weak depends entirely on your goals.
3. Don’t jump ship before you hit the iceberg.
4. Anger is never about what you think you’re angry about.
5. Confidence comes from success, knowledge comes from failure.
6. A**hole is a subjective noun.
7. If you’re miserable, quit and do something else. If you’re still miserable, it’s you.
8. Success is based on current behavior, not past performance.
9. If you protect your domain or CYA, that’s all you’ll accomplish.
10. Thin-skinned people are actually thick-headed.
11. People won’t perform for those they don’t respect.
12. If you’re not passionate about what you’re doing, you won’t be successful at it.
13. When you have problems with others, look inside yourself for answers.
14. The workplace is about business, not you.
15. Conflict is healthy; anger is not. Get some help for that.
16. No matter how smart you are, wisdom only comes from experience.
17. Whine and complain all you want; nobody gives a crap.
18. You can BS others but you really can’t BS yourself.
19. The boss isn’t always right, but she’s still the boss.
20. The customer isn’t always right, but he’s still the customer.

Inside Job...Are they stupid or what?

I just got home from watching "Inside Job" and from someone that doesn't work in the financial arena, I found it quite interesting.
Especially in terms of really understanding what happened, something that already got a feeling by seeing "Wall Street 2".

But there was this "tiny" detail that really was "fantastic"..even though most of you already got to the same conclusion and for me it was more a confirmation than anything else...and this is the thing:

Are American politicians stupid or they think the rest of us are??!!

I mean guys really speechless when trying to answer a simple question, to CEO's of major financial companies like Goldman Sach on a trial pulling off a "are you saying that hypothetically?", when facing a question about crappy financial products.

One thing is to say things in a different way,in cases where the truth is a bit sketchy and you can go around things....another is to completely avoid clear questions and say stupid things when it is crystal clear what happened.

But still, they continue to be in the top positions of the American government and major companies...I wonder why.

Zuckerberg donating money to Diaspora?..uhmm

Like any other day, I was today looking at my Google Reader RSS's, checking the latest news and I noticed one very interesting (that came out some months ago): Zuckerberg donating money to Diaspora.

Well, you all remember Diaspora, the project from 4 kids from NYU to create an alternative to Facebook - apparently with stronger privacy focus.

I find it quite odd for Zuckerberg to be donating money to these guys, it raises the question: What will be his connection to this in a very near future?

Either he's going to "grab" it as soon as it is having some success or as a good source of ideas (and for free).
