The concept of failure is not as the failure itself. It relates on how you deal with a failure. Everyone in his/her life has to deal with one or more failures in various fields! The point is not what happens, is what you do with what’s happened!

Little Things
Little things can create a large disturbance! I had recently one such an experience with various, small things, went completely off the track! It was unexpected and it was very, very, disturbing! But the situation gave me some hints on handling peculiar situations and on the power of small things in our highly organized life!
Weak Links
I’m thinking lately, a lot of weak links. The things that can break the chain, any chain. A Markov chain, a cause-effect chain or a network of events, a Seinfeld’s (no interruption) chain, a rational chain, a planning chain, a strategy (a whole series of action directed towards a goal).
The Next Day!
Leadership is about next day! Recently, I friend of mine had to make a complete transformation of his earlier life. Besides the current economic situation (tough for everyone!) some medical problems have accrued in his close family. These are enough, to convince him that he had to change his route and make different selections in his life. The result was a complete makeover of his earlier life (with the aid of some friends, of course!). He has to change his life and LEAD it to a different path!
50 Something!
This post should be called “Things I have learned after 50 years“, instead of “50 Something“, but the title selected seems more appropriate! Today I’m 50 years old plus 1 day and I feel not at all different from previous days!
A Day Off The Grid!
Recently I experienced a total connection shutdown! No telephone, no Internet, not communication besides my cellular phone!
For this reason, I’d like to apologize to my readers for my delay in posting this article.
The problem was large and caused by a road repairing crew, that damage the telephone’s infrastructure in the area. This situation cause me to skip the posting of one post (specifically the previous one!) and gave me some food of thought!
I’m so accustom to having an Internet access anywhere I go, that its absence creates a lot of problems. Today is one of those “off-the-grid” days! I was working normally, trying to do some infrastructure work, when, all off a sudden, everything went still! At first, I didn’t realize what happened and thought that I had a problem with my computer. After a while though, I realize that telephone and Internet were off. Not phone, no Internet, no web, no value added service! Complete silence!
The Art Of The Feasible
The art of the feasible consists of devoting your efforts on ventures, having a real impact in the world (your and that of the others!). Most people do not realize that. Think that dreaming of doing things is the same as actually doing them. The net result is that the output is never in the level of the dreaded one and almost never, does not offer hard-core output in life. And that creates a lot of frustration, stress, and anxiety, creating the divorce of real valuable bits and pieces of good raw data, ideas and approaches from its implementation!

Free Kindle Books
One question often pop-ups now and then, in my communication with my friends and relatives, is: “How can get free Kindle Books?“. Today, the need for more specialized information, for various topics, renders the buying of all needed resources quite impossible. But, fortunately, there are alternatives.
