Corporate lingo, decoded.

" I hear you. " - "Shut up!"  " I hear you loud and clear ." - "Shut the fuck up!"  " We will assess staffing. " - "I don't know who the fuck will do this shit."  " WE should make the following changes... " - "I just said WE but I don't want to hurt your feelings. YOU should make the following changes." " You lack thought leadership " - you are just as dumb as I am.  " Think out of the box " - This is exactly the shit I had come up with. Give me something new." " You should know how to manage your time "- I need this work completed by today at any cost " The client liked the creative but they'd like to explore a few more options " - "The client liked the creative but they can't believe that you managed to crack it in your first attempt so they'd like 10 more options only to select this one because that would make them feel like

What do we want from relationships? (Movie review - Her)

A delight to watch as it described several themes and idea in such a simple manner: That we are surrounded by technology but are becoming more and more lonelier - why is it that we find it easier to open up to people far away from us than those sitting nearby.  That people really expect very basic things in a relationship (friends, spouses or any other type) - support and being available; and how hard it can still be for us to offer it without getting our ego in the way. Sometimes listening is just enough.  That love/people do not have to be eternal.. because we grow together but we can also grow apart. This love should encourage us to grow and experience different things. When one evolves differently than the other it would be okay to part. I liked how love healed and when it felt its presence isn't necessary, it left.  Of course it questions our understanding of what is real.

Open letter to rowdy kids

Dear spoilt kids with rich parents, you hear me now and you hear me good! Your attitude and the way you treat your work and other people around you is a clear reflection of the fact that you haven't worked hard to get where you are. And we should never, read NEVER be arrogant about things to which we never contributed (natural beauty/intelligence, family money - the like). Be thankful and work on applying it somewhere useful. Remember that Karma is a bitch and the playing field will get leveled - the girl studying under the streetlight will kick your overly-protected ass when it comes to dealing with the real world.  'I don't care because Puppaaa has money' attitude will sink you sooner than you can think. Money cannot replace hard/smart work. To sustain and grow the fortune you still have to work.  So get your head out of the place where the sun doesn't shine and know that life has challenges - we fight, we grow, we learn. Suck it up and deal with it!

Laugh out loud

When you laugh in the face of adversity, there will be some that will pull you down because they lack this strength/maturity. You should laugh out loud anyway.
