My teachers: Mohammed and Ariana

Hello SCG,

I have been blessed with another eye-opening experience.  Two days ago, while strengthening Mohammed (=reading and writing session), little 8 years old Ariana joined us. She has started to repeat English words and she was really excited from this learning adventure. So, I have asked her in “exchange” to teach me Farsi meanings of those words.

Thanks to Mohammed and  little cutie girl Ariana, I could affirm and practice yet another important truths to be lived by. Here they are: [Read more…]

[Guest] On Cheating Through Education by @TylerShores (Part 1)

June 1, 2010 by 9 Comments

Tyler Shores

Hello SCG,

in January, I have posted a blog with poll question: Have you ever cheated on exams in school? Asking this question was for many Slovak students a normal question and great oportunity to share methods on cheating. But for many others it was non-sense question. My friend Tyler Shores, has labeled above question as non-sense, with instant reply: NO to any cheating at school! Tyler  wrote, exclusively for Inspiring Shipments, his  generous thoughts on cheating. Before we start, let me introduce you Tyler, who I have “met” via his talk @Google in September last year;-)

Tyler Shores is a writer and currently a graduate student at the University of Oxford. Tyler’s research interests include – the impact of ebooks and digital technology  on literature and printed books; literature and the experience of reading in relation to philosophy, psychology, cultural studies, and sociology. At the University of California, Berkeley he created and taught a course on The Simpsons and Philosophy. He is a contributor to the Blackwell Popular Culture and Philosophy book series – including: Heroes and Philosophy, Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy, Arrested Development and Philosophy, and 30 Rock and Philosophy. He also currently contributes to The Oxonian Review, a literary publication based in the University of Oxford.

“Start with WHY” – Simon Sinek

May 14, 2010 by 13 Comments

Hey SCG,

thanks for bearing with my limited online presence this week, due my 5 days stay in the capital of Slovakia – in Bratislava.

Why did I traveled 350 km by car from my hometown to Bratislava?

I have attended Social Business Tour to meet more like minded people, who care and truly ACT not just talk. It was hilarious experience.

The most important take away from this event was that, there are plenty of people in this world WHO KNOW WHY THEY DO WHAT THEY DO.

They know their WHY.

More on importance of WHY is explained in this breath-taking, sincere and energy busted TED talk by Simon Sinek, author of the book Start With Why.


Watch Simon rocking on the stage bellow or here!


So? Do you know what is your WHY? 😉 Share it with us in comments.

How to get enlightened during a weekend.

April 22, 2010 by 8 Comments

Hey Super Cool Gang,

Today I would like to scratch a surface of very personal topic, which is:  PARENTS.

These two people are responsible for my appearance in this world! ;-)

I must honestly admit, that it was not long time ago (beginning of 2008), when I have been like majority of  people in the western world:

Gosh, I cannot stand them! There are so old fashioned. They have no clue what is life about. I’m so glad, that I can live on my own, so no one is nagging me. I hate their silly questions. Oh boy, let me not lose my temper during their visit.

Are you recognizing yourself, in it? Do you to face the same struggles?

Carry on reading, please!

Thank you “universe” for David Horvath

March 3, 2010 by 6 Comments

Thanks to Seth Godin’s post >>> today morning I have been blessed with reading one of the most  “super cool” interviews ever. It featured David Horvath in it.  Mind – blowing, breath-taking, down-to-earth story of one’s dream in action.

See David's work here. "Uglydolls"

Let me share with you notes which I have taken:

Taking the same path as some one else did, results in getting close but never where you want to end up.

Ignoring those paths and making up your own route leads you to where you really belong, wherever may it be.

Your thoughts absolutely determines your reality. How you generally feel inside and what thoughts you generally carry in your head is what’s going to keep coming at you. [Read more…]
