These days post

Weird feeling in the air these days. Couldn't say if good or bad - just weird. Maybe it's because of the multitude of challenges I have to face, maybe it's because I started going to classes again - quite challenging thing partly because of my agenda, mainly because I get bored really fast in there - maybe because of both.
I've been to a rock concert - A tribute to Queen - that in the end was more like throwing mud into a masterpiece. You just DON'T DO THAT, not with Queen, not to Freddie's music!!
Still it was very cool to see Bogdan's guitar teacher playing. He was the only one truly up for the challenge - cool guitar player indeed.
I had a very nice time yesterday at Romeo's place with some friends. Can't wait for the EB days this weekend to have some fun with my new team. Team building is great. The workload is also great so I'm afraid this post will end here.
Until next time,
Marius.
P.S. Puzzle solving in progress. I found a really cool test one of these days.
Here is My Personal Dna Report.

Trying to solve a puzzle called... me

This subject is something that concerns for quite a while. It came to my mind again when I heard Tom Peters speaking about personal branding. (If anyone has 580 EUROs and wants to make a noble gesture please buy me a ticket for his sessions in Bucharest :D)
Tom Peters says that in the 21st century it is (if not the most) at least very important the way and the ability and people can tell stories about themselves. Stories are something that create the brand of an organization and/or of a person and a brand is something that can really make a difference when it comes to successful results.
Although I consider I know myself pretty well (qualities, weaknesses, goals in life, etc.), I feel like I'm having problems in establishing once and for all what is that unique way that I would like to be perceived in by the people around me, what are the features that I would like to be mainly known for.
It's really hard for me to prioritize my qualities that I would like to be recognized for because many pieces of my personality are many times fighting each other so adding one up is automatically cutting one down. What I would like is to create some sort of harmony among them so that all my qualities and weaknesses would find themselves properly. Like in the final assembled puzzle picture: complex, made from lots of pieces but still clearly understood by everyone looking at it.
Anyway, there are lots of pages I could still write about this but I have just realized that writing about your issues doesn't neccesarely help (espacially when you're also having a mean cold and bad head-aches) Dealing with them is oftenly much more efficient. ;)
Wishing you beatifull personal puzzle pictures,
Marius.
