What if there’s a whole world asking for money and you are waiting to give to them money in exchange for a service?

Wouldn’t that be a nice thing?
You pay for a service, simple as that.

Well, in the journey to create a cosmetic product I recently discovered it’s not so easy.
I’m not talking about slackers, I’m talking about genuine people who do their work but sometimes fail to communicate properly.

But what is communication exactly?
Communication can be summarized by the existence of the “request the address to send a notification if the message is read”.
We have the need to communicate, but we want our communication to be reliable and effective.

Reliable means that we know the other person has received our communication.
Not only that, we expect to be notified that he/her understood and if needed will take action.

It’s not important when, but it’s important that the message got through and understood.

Effective means that our communication has a mean, a goal that once reached finalizes the idea behind our words.
Effectiveness will make our words reality.

Reliability and effectiveness are both key elements to any communication system, but more than ever they are important for me while talking to others.

Whenever you receive an information or a request from someone do this

• If they send you an email/sms, reply to them telling them you’ve got the message and tell them you’ll plan to check it in “x days”.
• Create a reminder for that day
• Act as usual from that on

Replying is an act that might just take one second, yet can improve dramatically the relationship.

Don’t be that guy. Reply.

I bet you’ve been ill from time to time.

Being sick doesn’t help you move forward and there are a few things you can do to cope with that.

You either accept it and relax, or ignore it and continue like nothing’s happened.
But sickness is an alarm that tells your body that you need to relax, it’s the way the body tells you to calm down.

What will you do?

These days I am more into natural remedies, they are awesome, they are great, but they have the downside of being slow to be effective.

Chemical remedies on the other hand are faster and more effective, but might have some side effects that you don’t know when you take them.

Which one would you choose?

We always find a crossroad, but what we will do is up to us.
Personally I found out that there’s no written answer.
While I might prefer use natural remedies it’s not I won’t use chemical remedies if needed.
Why? Because it’s a rule, not a dogma and should be weighted accordingly.

Two things I want to improve this month, and they have both some connection with my past.

What I’d like to improve is the overall intake of sugar during this october and learn how to breathe more during the day.

The reasons are quite simple. Sugar is not healthy and we all breathe too less 🙂

Today while we were coming back I got an idea for an article to write here.

It was s great topic but I didn’t note it, thinking “I will eventually remember”.

Now I wanted to use some spare time to write but guess what? I can’t recall the topic.

Some people say that when you forget things it’s because you don’t care about it, but I think it’s a different matter.

One thing might be important, even emotionally relevant, but if you don’t have enough anchors to recall it (an anchor being a constant input about the topic/thing or just a fixation of any time caused even by urgency) then you might forget.

Next time it’s better if I write it down 🙂

Nothing compares to the face of wonder when you see the impossible
