The Tulip

How's about these single serve plastic glasses of wine!? Well, they are PET, to be correct. They serve them sealed, like a yogurt can. Well, ...I guess I don't mind that much as long as the content is decent and draws people toward drinking the right kind of alcohol. I mean, let's drink less beer and spirits and more wine. Ooops, let me hide the beer from my desk...It's been a hard day and all...!:-)

They call them "The Tulip". Well, let's just say that glass does it better for me.

Anyway, check them out! At least they are weird!

Hunters and Farmers (via Seth Godin)

Are you a hunter or are you a farmer (see wich is what at Seth Godin's blog)? Are you a dinamic thrill seeking individual or a security seeking control freak?
Everybody would be tempted to say they are a hunter, be it only to avoid the "shame" of being considered a lame farmer. I was inclined to jump at the hunter branding too.

Bu wait; face it, isn't there a little person inside you that loves security more than wild adventure? Come on, now, be honest! Aren't you most of the times just terrified of failure, more then excited by danger?

He, he , he, ...farmer boy. Farmer girl...Of to the field with you....ahmm, us.

Entrepreneuship interview with Sunil Bharti Mittal

"If you are caught between speed and perfection, always choose speed!...And perfection will follow." says Sunil Bharti Mittal, one of India's most succesful entrepreneurs. Watch this great interview with him. He gives great information, a lot of it and very concrete data.
It confirms my acquired knowledge on business and it contradicts my natural way of thinking. I always wait to be well prepared before I venture into something new (for fear of failing and being humiliated), rather than going in anyway and giving it my all. Well... maybe I can still change!

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The big question is, without doubt, should one work for an employer or is it better to work for oneself. In other words, if one should not better become an employer himself.
Some time ago, there was no question in my mind that being self employed is by far the best solution. That is pretty much what i think today, too, but even I have started to have my doubts.
I am a lawyer, and I practice alone (not by vocation, but rather because my clients are not that many, to ask for any helpers or paralegals). Note: I have only been a lawyer for 2 and a half yeras. And Constanta is still a provincial town.
I read somewhere on the web that being an entrepreneur is just trading working 8 hours a day for someone else for working 18 hours a day for yourself. How true! So, is it worthed? Well, that is the question. It should be. At least for me it is, but, then again, I am an exaggerate freedom lover. I hate directions, and I hate the feeling of making some one else's butt fatter trough my efforts. I might even be simple vanity. But I like to know that I can change directions as many times a year I damn please.
Long live Alex, the entrepreneur!
