1. ABOUT INNA IN FORBES ROMANIA
If you’re interested in the music business, you should check the latest issue of Forbes Romania, nr. 54/4-17 April. You can read about the secret* behind Inna’s (and Edward Maya’s) success. Enjoy!
* revealed in, let’s say, 20%…
2. FOR YOUR COUNTRY
“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”
In 2011 I have the following comment:
If you’re interested only in what you can do for your country (and deeply uninterested in what your country can do for you), Romania is a good place to live in.
3. DO NOT WEEP FOR ME…
“Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children”.”
Luke 23:28
These words seem to have a special “resonance” these days. When I see the (global) tragedies we’re facing, I hear Jesus’ words like a kind of soundtrack of all the madness we’re into…
4. TWO RESTAURANTS
A few streets away from where I live, there are two restaurants at, let’s say, fifty steps one from another. They are in the most popular area of the city so, theoretically, both have the same chances to be successful.
Even so, one of them has clients all the time – the other one only from time to time. One of them had become a reference for those who’re interested in spending some quality time and eating well – the other one has the “one of the others” status.
Reasons? There might be a few. What I know for sure is that the guy from the “not interesting one” has a communism-rooted history. Unintentionally, he succeeded to transfer into the contemporary Romania the “values” of the “red cancer“: his restaurant is grey, dark and cold.
Ultimately, the difference is in the perspectives. Both businesses are reflecting some. One of the restaurants seems to tell that “We’re here with something you’ll love!” and the other one “Sorry that we’re here. Come in and you’ll never come back!”.
