[Video] Thoughts on Planning

Hi guys,

I didn’t have an idea that I will be shooting this video today, but morning’s Skype chat with my dear friend simply gave me impulse to sit in front of camera and record following 5 minutes.

He asked, me as many other people these days:

Ivana, do you have any plans at all?

My answer, is just click away.

cheers,

i.

P.S.: Even shooting this video was not planned, I have just felt it, did the best way I could and hopefully watching  it, made some of you – feel good;-)

[Video] Bodyguard for Your Dreams

I have been thinking about recording this video for quite some time. Yesterday, I came across inspirational scene from one of my all times favorite movies Pursuit of Happiness. And today I just felt “right” to shoot following video post.

We all have heard tons about how one should live his/her dream, follow the heart and so on…and yet it is still so though.

Let me share with you my dream come true story with you.

And who knows, it might give you a little push to get closer to your dream. Just spare 5 minutes of your time and watch this.

I am already excited to hear your stories.

Just drop it into comments or shoot me an email if you feel I could help YOU.

cheers,

i.

P.S.: I have little attention check question for you, today:

Can you tell which is next book on my reading list? 😉

Following post was inspired by Facebook chat with my friend author and servant leader.

Enjoy!

[Video] Note for YOU

Thank you, guys for being present on my journey during 2009.

Rest is said here:

Rules are useless if you do not take action

At the end of NGLS workshop, three randomly picked participants have been interviewed. My first question was for Peter Hegedúš and I have asked him, following question:

What new did you learn during NGLS workshop?

I was astonished by Peter’s reply!


Video is in Slovak, so I will translate it into English:

I have been taught that leadership has set rules which one who wants to be leader need to follow. But I have realized it is not truth. Rules are useless, if  you are not taking action. I should take action, and by it the rules will be set and I will become leader. Then I can lead the change or any activity which is meaningful and I see purpose in it.

(Peter is 20 years old, student fromVeľký Krtíš, in Slovakia)

Pravidlá sú na nič pokiaľ človek nezačne niečo robiť

Na záver NGLS workshopu, sme urobili interview s tromi náhodne vybratými účastníkmi. Prvá otázka smerovala na Petra Hegedúša. Moja otázka znela:

Čo nového ste sa počas NGLS workshopu naučili?

Bola som očarená Petrovou odpoveďou.

Myslel som si, že leadership má určité pravidlá  a bez toho nedokážem byť dobrým lídrom. Ale som zistil, že to vôbec nie je tak, lebo pravidlá sú na nič, pokiaľ človek nezačne niečo robiť. To znamená, že tým že začnem niečo konať, si vlastne vytvorím tie pravidlá, tým sa naučím byť lídrom a vlastne viesť tú zmenu alebo nejakú aktivitu v ktorej vidím zmysel.

[Video] True beauty of Slovak people — Naozajstná krása Slovákov

Almost three weeks since 1st NGLS event has passed, I have decided to share with you very special moments.

Song Man in the mirror has powerful lyrics and this tune was my personal anthem for the whole time of  NGLS lonely preparation.

After keynote speech , I have just played the song and spontaneously did what I have done.

No money in the world, no paycheck would be able to express the value of sincere hugs, energy and spirit of the people.  Slovakia has bright future with people like this.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Uplynuli takmer tri týždne od prvého NGLS podujatia a ja som sa rozhodla podeliť sa s vami o špeciálnu chvílu, ktorú som zažila. Pieseň Muž v zrkadle má veľmi “silný” myšlienky-provokujúci text a tento song bol mojou osobnou hymnou počas osamelého  pripravovania NGLS.

Po záverečnej reči, som zahrala túto pesničku a spontánne som urobila čo som urobila.

Žiadne peniaze na svete,  žiadna výplata by nevedela  vyčísliť hodnotu úprimných objatí,  tú energiu a krásu ľudskej duše. Slovensko  má úžasnú budúcnosť s takýmito ľudmi.

[Video] Black ribbons campaign in Slovakia—Čierne stuhy ako čierne svedomie slovenských politikov.

In previous post, I was touched and moved by Adam Kurta and his act of sincerity and hope for change in Slovakia.

One week long hunger strike has ended today on 24th November  at 6 PM. His thank you note and message for Slovak citizens has been again recorded and now is shared with you my dear readers.

Black ribbons were distributed to be worn as sign with disappointment and disgust with overall Slovak political culture. As Adam said:

Black ribbons, dark as arrogance of Slovak politicians towards their citizens.

Slovakia need more Adams like that. Let us join him.

You can meet Adam and company tomorrow 25th November at 6 PM in Bratislava in Europa Pub.

P.S.:  No alcohol will be served.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

V predchádzajúcom príspevku,  som vyjadrila ako som bola dotknutá a pohnutá Adamom a jeho činom. Týždňovú hladovku, dnes 24. novembra Adam ukončil o 18. tej hodine. Jeho poďakovanie tým, čo ho prišli podporiť a odkaz spoluobčanom som opäť zaznamenala aby som mohla sprostredkovať tieto chvíle aj vám moji drahí čitatelia.

Pokračovaním Adamových aktivít je distribúcia čiernych stužiek na znak nesúhlasu so súčasnou politickou kultúrou na Slovensku.

Ako povedal Adam:

Stuhy čierne ako čierne svedomie politikov…

Slovensko potrebuje viacej Adamov. Pridajte sa. Už zajtra, 25. novembra o 18.00 hod sa môžete stretnúť s Adamom v Bratislave v Europa Pub-e na Obchodnej ulici.

P.S. : Podáva sa len nealko.
