As students we can not accept and not accept in silence to see destroy our future, to deny our right to education. The reform should be exactly the opposite direction than the current education system needs, among the worst in Europe: Instead of investing money illegal and unsafe buildings heal, instead of investing resources to combat carolibri and cut thousands of jobs, is the disproportionate increase number of students per class, in other words, students are forced to indigent poor education.

How Accurate Is Your Gaydar

You are algorithmic or heuristic?













You algorithmic or heuristic? The answer lies here. To understand what motivates you in life and work because you are dissatisfied by what you are doing you should ask yourself this question; algorithmic or heuristic?

Before responding to ó , you should read "Drive. The surprising truth about what motivates us at work and in life " by Daniel H. Pink.

The author explains that if you prefer to work algorithmic routine, established through the procedure, where the goal to reach and 'default as well as are the ways of working to achieve it.

You heuristic instead if you feel attracted to creative work, where the options are open, where the goal may also be default but it leaves ample room for autonomy in taking action to achieve it.

algorithmic If you are you will feel inspired by forms of remuneration linked to the goal on time and according to these steps, you will be paid based on your performance and nothing more.
objectives You will be punished if they do not reach the as indicated. Carrot and stick.

If you feel you are heuristic not only stimulated by an adequate remuneration, that is obviously a pre-condition, but the autonomy and the opportunity to apply your creativity without constraints to the achievement of ' likely to exceed target.

So far, so clear, why go further in reading? Although it is true that each of us in certain parts of their work, more or less extensive, and 'algorithmic, it is also true that to become more heuristic does well.

does well first of all to your job prospects, highly creative works, business, relational and knowledge are the ones least likely to be outsourced abroad as difficult to be outlined, based on replicable procedures to be applied .

then is good for you, your ambitions, to make, what you really want to do your new job. Because we are not talking only to keep their jobs or not, appearance is not entirely negligible, but to have success.

True success is what allows us to apply our desires, our ambitions, our desire for autonomy, to our daily work, not be more dovendolo but making it a state of flow of identification continues.

Attention to ó , what I'm saying there will be recounted in the book using the usual techniques of self-motivation and retract the American school. There will be no repeat slogans in the car while you are prisoners of the usual queue for the daily commute to work.

The author "Drive" will take you to a location at times annoying but enlightened; annoying because, referring also to solid evidence obtained from experiments in the field of motivational psychology, forces you to question the stereotypes of which we are all imbued.

will be very difficult to accept that it will not be 'much-needed pay rise to give us the push we lack motivation, yes of course, initially we will also be satisfied, enhance our performance and regain the momentum but sooner or later, we need more new ideas, new salary increases, new benefits in order to raise our level of satisfaction. A kind of endless race on the treadmill (provided there is someone willing to continue offering increases in salary, I doubt it).


Why read it:

This book has two reading levels.

The first is intended as criticism of management thinking in people management technology. It reminds us that it is necessary to reconsider the forms of governance adapt to a new audience, all of us who in the activity is' work is also a form of expression of one's being in a continuous improvement. One argument that abandoning the logic of "carrot and stick" no longer suited to modern competitive scenario where each of us and 'obliged to be their own entrepreneurs.

The second use of managers to themselves or others, provides a clear view of the motivational forces that we have cultivated and strengthened in our daily activities and during the management of others. Because, whether you are a CEO or a new intern, and 'one of our obligation to improve the quality of our lives work and the environment in which we operate.

Calculating Currrent Stock Prices

Sit ...













" Different . Conformity reigns but the exception dominates " (ETAS, 2010)


Sit. This book will not allow you to memorize four, at most Five basic concepts for use in the next meeting with some senior managers. Will not give you certainty, will not allow you to jump from chapter to chapter trying to memorize a few slogans to impact.

Do not skip the introduction, this is an integral part of the book.
Sit back and enjoy the ride from the discourse, a discourse that combines the author's life and thoughts Youngme Moon to a pitiless analysis of how it should change the way you compete.

In the first phase, this Harvard professor, demolish le vostre certezze sul come state facendo business, lo farà con mano ferma ma con atteggiamento materno, comprensivo. Distruggerà per farvi ragionare, per dare una nuova visione a voi ed al business in cui operate.

Pensate a quante volte vi siete trovati di fronte ad una decisione aziendale già presa, che doveva essere fatta perché il mercato lo impone, la concorrenza lo sta facendo, saremmo considerati poco cool a rimanere fuori da questo filone.

Davanti a slide accurate e business case inoppugnabili anche voi alla fine avete abbozzato, avete fatto qualche domanda right not to be too skeptical to agree and then you have started the nth product development, because the market wants, our competitor does.

The author will inspire you to reflect on how business decisions can be guided by "cultural paradigms," pervasive references on how to think and what kind of decisions taken. Cultural paradigms that express an axiom according to which the progress, development, continuous improvement is associated with a positive value, an improved product, improved, must be better and more popular, buyers.

Il libro ci aiuta a riflettere come i tradizionali investimenti in marketing e sviluppo prodotto indirizzino tutti i nostri sforzi a far diventare il nostro brand, i nostri prodotti, la nostra azienda, l’ennesima espressione anonima del gregge, il gregge dell’“abbastanza buono” ormai imperante.

“Differente” ci dice di fermarci, riflettere, di uscire per un momento dall’arena competitiva e ragionare, uscire dagli schemi di aggressività reattiva alle mosse dei concorrenti.

Un esercizio di questo genere, per non cadere nella riflessione fine a se stessa, ha bisogno di applicazioni e casi concreti. L’autrice ce li fornisce nella seconda parte del libro, dopo le critiche si passa all’azione.

Avete mai riflettuto al successo di certi brand venuti dal nulla? Brand che non vi hanno stordito di pubblicità con facce felici di bambini biondi entusiasti di mangiare quella merendina o salire sulla nuova macchina comprata da papà? Brand a volte sgradevoli che hanno azzerato ad un tratto la comodità di accessori, informazioni, abbondanza ai quali eravamo abituati e che consideriamo scontati nell’acquisto di un dato prodotto?

illuminating example of the author who, I admit, also generating a bit of nostalgia, reminds us that our knowledge of the Internet has grown in step with the enrichment of the homepage of Yahoo. A portal that has accompanied us in the discovery of the Internet, providing progressively all the services that we could need, there, on the front page, a click away. Yahoo has got us used to be a point of reference, the base from which to search for anything (horoscopes, weather, news, games, ...). Then e 'and nothing came Google and' the same again.

only a mask research in an ethereal white space, as if to remind those with luxury shops and boutiques and a few essential exhibition displayed products.

What 'happened? Which levers acted Google and all those brands that have distinguished themselves from the fray? Find out by reading "Different. Conformity reigns but the exception dominates " of Youngme Moon.


Why read it:

There are books that leave us ready-made slogan, other, more complex as this, which seem to go off-topic, because only then reveal the finished book.

are those books that force us to break out and think, something very difficult in a business world where we are all forced to wear short-term results.

Here, the author throws us a challenge, a challenge that we can not grasp if we are not able to be calm, if not we will be able to leave the quiet conformism that has led us to say yes before product presentations that they were supposed to die immediately.

will help us to change our way of thinking about competition. Compete with other brand not to add yet another feature that can never be distinguished as soon matched, but distorting the rules, making its brand a product for a few people for opposition, for those who want to stand out from the herd and .

because the flock is' reassuring, makes us like using the same symbols of others and, in terms of career, allows us to make the obvious choices, not because smentibili accepted by the whole market.

shame that here we play can be winners or losers, differentiate their brand and succeed or die slowly in a gentle and slow drift along with the flock.

Perhaps too much.


Our profile will be 'given by the combination of four indices chosen from among four pairs of opposites, on the theory of Jung, the split personality of human beings.


The first index is EI (Extroversion - Introversion) and shows whether the individual is an extrovert or an introvert.
The extrovert is facing to the outside world and framed his perception on people and things, the introvert is mainly oriented towards the internal world and project the perception and feedback on ideas.

Desire Bracelets Color Meaning



"The man in the three sixes in the decisive years of his life (six to twelve, twelve to eighteen, eighteen to twenty-four), he needs to live with freedom.
Freedom to strengthen the body and stay healthy, free open-air school will ruin your eyes, lungs, nerves (those short-sighted, anemia and neurasthenia can curse right schools and who invented them!)
freedom to carry out their personality in life is open from ten thousand chance, rather than artificial and restricted classes and colleges.
Freedom to learn something really important because we learn nothing from the lessons but only the great books and personal contact with reality. Where each fits in its own way and choose what is most suitable rather than submit to the manipulation which is dried and consistent teaching.
In schools, however, have a daily confinement in a room full of dusty winds - the most unnatural physical stillness - the stillness of the spirit required to repeat rather than to seek - the disastrous effort to learn with lots of useless idiots methods - and the drowning of any systematic personality, originality and initiative in the Black Sea of \u200b\u200buniform programs. Up to six years the man is a prisoner of parents, nannies and governesses, from six to ventiquattro è sottoposto a genitori e professori; dai ventiquattro è schiavo dell'ufficio, del caposezione, del pubblico e della moglie; tra i quaranta e i cinquanta vien meccanizzato e ossificato dalle abitudini (terribili più d'ogni padrone) e servo, schiavo, prigioniero, forzato e burattino rimane fino alla morte.
Lasciateci almeno la fanciullezza e la gioventù per godere un po' d'igienica anarchia!”

Is A School Responsible For Theft

not escape alive ... After reading "No Logo" ... Unfortunately



It 's a fact After reading "No Logo" Klein's more we are all 'good, more' careful in our purchasing decisions, noisy and intolerant of those brands in general are able to assess and point the finger on the advertising 'and' mezzucci " used to sell us things.


even choose no-clothing brand following a rigorous understatement tiring follow almost like doing the queues at the end of season clearance sales of most brands' coats of arms.


And then, with a proud look, we look around and discover with amazement people wearing lacoste, timberland, prada, gucci, converse, diesel, levi's, Fred Perry, bremen ...; our security shaken and falls at all when we pass to the showcase, where only the corner of my eye, look at those hogan we always wanted, or rather, we have always wanted someone to give for Christmas.


So? Why '? Rob Walker is explained in his excellent "Murketing. The marketing revolution ambiguous" (ETAS, 2009). A book that weaves anthropology, sociology and a solid business knowledge to explain why 'we are what we buy.


The "murketing, marketing or obscure, solves the dilemma of traditional marketing, that if the mass consumerism and 'about a" mass ", widespread, indistinguishable, how can I stand out? Simple, buying a different brand that is able to leverage on my needs always individuality 'but at the same time membership.


Individuality 'because' I-am-I different from the masses and that allows me to dstinguermi brand, but also belong, 'cause I need to be part of a larger group' which belong to the large sliced, then here is the brand that I but differs launches signs of belonging to a particular group and I exclude, in the manner sought by another.


The book cites examples of brands that invest in "invisible" trying to get in discreetly within groups of influencers. Rob Walker and 'close attention to the psychological and cultural dynamics in society' modern and tells us how some brands have even been successful in a completely unconscious, regardless of investment in marketing directed at potential targets, corrected by the analytical point of view but wrong in terms of culture.


Why 'read:
If you have just participated in a meeting where you heard the word "customer loyalty" and call this dog and there' appeared as a piece of chalk screeching on a new a blackboard, then this book is for you.


If you are male / female marketing you will 'understand that the new persuasion and' a complex issue not be resolved a colpi di budget pubblicitari, ne va rivisto l’approccio, da capo; se invece siete solo dei consumatori, come tutti noi, vi fara’ perdere qualche certezza come quella di avere finalmente vinto la battaglia contro i “persuasori occulti” e di essere vaccinati dalle loro subdole strategie. Bene, peccato pero’ che i persuasori occulti non siano mai esistiti, o meglio, erano dentro di noi. Buona lettura.
