Well Invested Time In October 2010

November 5, 2010 by 5 Comments

Hiya SCG,

I suspect that this year went by somehow fast, don’t you think? 10th wrap up of books, which I have read last month is due. I have taken off with; asking myself “why” with Simon Sinek & then I had a privilege to spent overwhelming time by science fiction piece(s) by Robert Heinlein about Man from Mars and 2 books by Seth Godin, who preaches according to some “wise” people in our planet: science-fiction things,too. 😉 So, let’s hop on a space-ship into “October’s reading universe” of I.S.

Do You Put “Make Up” On Your Slide-decks? You Better, Do!

October 29, 2010 by 18 Comments

Hiya SCG,

last shipment was posted from an academic soil, because I have been  attending conference Unicamp organized by students on marketing and social media. Curiousity to find out what is Slovak community 2.0 up to, made me travel there. I was pleased by organizers and their initiative to put this event together as they (students) wanted to learn from experts. Disappointment came from speakers (at least those, which I have seen) who simply killed any appetite for learning by… [Read more…]

Do You Have an “Exam Attitude”?

October 26, 2010 by 15 Comments

Hiya SCG,

Today’s shipment was inspired by a remark done by my Mum few weeks back, when she has seen me reading a book, making notes  and sticking highlight notes on pages with underlined quotes.  She said: “You look like you are having an exam tomorrow.” And that one sentence made me pause and reflect. “Wow, did I look that committed? What are the other activities when I am totally focused and I might appear to external observer as totally obsessed student with exam knocking on a door?” Then it hit me:

Walking In Woking Took My Breath Away

October 22, 2010 by 8 Comments

Hiya SCG,

greetings from London – Woking. Yeah, I am still in U.K. as I have managed to miss plane back to Slovakia?! (it has never happened to me before, ever…) But because I do believe, that everything in life happens for a reason, I did not freak out but I remained present with here and now mindset. Today’s exploration walk convinced me (apart from other events) that pro-longing my stay was a good thing. Let me share with you some of the pictures, which I have witnessed during my magical walk.

Emmanuel Gobillot:”I Need Ivana To Succeed and So Do You”

October 19, 2010 by 15 Comments

I.S. with Emmanuel Gobillot

Hi SCG,

yesterday I have experienced yet another miracle of my life, when I have got a privilege to personally meet Emmanuel Gobillot. Emmanuel has inspired me more than one year ago, when I have “met” him for the 1st time via his talk on Youtube at Google. Few hours after our yesterday’s meeting, I have lost words (see my tweet) from an email, which hit my inbox, in which Emmanuel asked me to post it on Inspiring Shipments, so I am doing so, now:

Don’t Get Fooled by Price Tags On Art In the Age of Commerce

October 14, 2010 by 10 Comments

Hi SCG,

in previous shipment we have talked (especially your thoughts in comments were amazing!) about importance of art and unique creative work in our world. You made me truly think more deeply about this essential topic. I have connected dots from past months about changes in perception and value of the art in the age of commerce, we happen to live in now. Guys, I want you to form your own opinion and make your own judgment. Let me bring into your attention commercially not very well known sources, which were collected for you in past few months and now it made sense to ship them.

Note: If you truly want to grasp the message from this shipment (=blog post), please click through attached links and watch those movies! (or watch at least their trailers, if you are that busy…) 😉
