50% svého majetku

By Jozef Kutej on August 18, 2010 9:20 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
Dva slavní spisovatelé Kurt Vonnegut a Joseph Heller se jednou sešli na párty pořádané kterýmsi manažerem velkého zajišťovacího fondu v jeho honosném sídle na Long Islandu. V jednu chvíli se Vonnegut rozhlédl po všem, co je obklopovalo, a zeptal se Hellera: "Joe, neštve tě, že tenhle chlapík vydělává za den víc, než tobě vynesl prodej tvojí Hlavy-22 po celém světě?". Heller se na chvíli zamyslel a odpověděl: "Vlastně ani ne, mám něco, co on nemá." "Jak můžeš mít něco, co nemá on?", ptal se Vonnegut. "Vím, co znamená dost", pravil Heller.

identify interesting companies to work for

By Jozef Kutej on July 29, 2010 9:53 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
I don't find any companies interesting. They're just companies. They make things, move things, process things, sell things-bleh, no thank you.

You shouldn't just my life based on this blithe little story. It was meant to make you smirk, because things suck in our economy right now, and at some point we have to stop blaming the victims and start banding together to survive. I choose to make people think, and laugh, and realize their humanity-I am a teacher. I teach. I don't need to work for a company to do that.

Women too smart for careers with computers

says Laird, 'where another researcher concludes that only "boys" are stupid enough to go into a field that's globally-fungible, where entry-level salaries are declining, and it's common to think that staying up all night for a company-paid pizza is a good deal.'"

Unfortunately, managing assholes is even harder and more time-consuming than it sounds.

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.

We avoid hiring too many smart people...

"But [the engineer] stopped me and said: 'These people are actually important to have outside of Google. They're very Google people that have the right philosophies around these things, and it's important that we not hire these guys. It's better for the ecosystem to have an honest industry, as opposed to aggregating all this talent at Google.'"

Who am I being that my children's eyes are not shining?

"Situation hopeless. Stop. They don't wear shoes."
"Glorious opportunity. They don't have any shoes yet." "classical music is dying"
"you ain't seen nothing yet" What actually happened was the impulses were reduced. No, the music pushed me over... Now, you notice that there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that this is going to work if you look at my face, right? It's one of the characteristics of a leader that he not doubt for one moment the capacity of the people he's leading to realize whatever he's dreaming. That's what kept -- this is about vision; this is about the long line. Like the bird who flies over the field and doesn't care about the fences underneath, all right? They were clapping. I was clapping. They were clapping. Finally, I said, "Why am I clapping?" And one of the little kids said, "Because we were listening." I was 45 years old, I'd been conducting for 20 years, and I suddenly had a realization. The conductor of an orchestra doesn't make a sound. My picture appears on the front of the CD ... but the conductor doesn't make a sound. He depends for his power on his ability to make other people powerful. And that changed everything for me. If the eyes are not shining, you get to ask a question. And this is the question: Who am I being that my players' eyes are not shining? We can do that with our children too. Who am I being that my children's eyes are not shining? And you know, I have a definition of success. For me it's very simple. It's not about wealth and fame and power. It's about how many shining eyes I have around me.
