Before diving into marketing efforts, take the time to understand your target audience. Who are they? What are their pain points, desires, and preferences? By gaining insights into your audience's demographics and psychographics, you can tailor your marketing messages to resonate with them effectively.
Renee.... This is not about shaming plastic surgery. The shock is about a beautiful woman wanting and making herself look entirely different. And not just that even... If she was not famous a few would have noticed. They would be shocked to but would get used to it.
The hardest and riskiest thing to do is to say "No" to your boss. The higher your boss’s position, the harder it is. But a good leader must be able to do this because they are responsible for their team. Every reasonable "No" means avoiding unnecessary, impossible, or unreasonable tasks for the team.
After many years of living in the United States, I have noticed a common tendency: not to like immigrants, even those who are not doing anything wrong.
This is our mind that makes it good or bad. What are you lacking? Money? Love? Success? Maybe you have something else - lack of worry of losing money, staying away from bad relationship, being constantly hunted by paparazzi?
This is so interesting how I used to think that my life was one of the most possibly difficult ones... Now I can see that I'm not alone. I mean yes its freaking not easy but some of those folks that I used to think had better lives (like you can get one on demand) actually are really struggling in ways I would never be able to handle.
About your essay “The Self is a Conceptual Chimera“.
It was a pleasure for me to read your essay in a book “What is Your Dangerous Idea?” It resonated with me, and I believe it’s the most brilliant idea of all those “dangerous” ideas in the whole book.
Almost everybody knows this Buddhist tale...
A man is strolling in the forest, when he sees a tiger, bounding down the track towards him. As the tiger closes upon him, the track comes to an end at the edge of a cliff, man jumps. Luckily, he is able to grab a hold of a vine, which brings him up short against the cliff. Below him another tiger is waiting for him to fall down...
Once, I was planning to write about a Russian composer and pianist named Oksana. I had already met with her, talked, and taken some pictures of her, so I thought I had everything I needed. But there was no life in that material, something was missing... as if I could not find the key component. Suddenly, I realized what it was!
Just when they get together and something may happen between them—it almost doesn't matter what that is—she is carefully listening. She may not even be aware of it, but she's listening to make sure his actions align with his words.
Don't be afraid. Lies are not the reason for all human troubles. Lies are a result of a sickness, of fear. Fear of being rejected by people, by society, fear of loss. Human life is often all about consumption. We accumulate material possessions and use them to wrap ourselves as if in a cotton-ball blanket. This blanket separates us from real, true living.
I have realized that for me, giving love and receiving love were two different processes. Giving love felt altruistic, while receiving love felt more egoistic. Now, I see it in a completely different way. I see both as one. Giving love is not about giving something away—it's about sharing, multiplying, and extending. It's one of the few things, besides your word, that you can give and still keep.
I guess I was trying too hard to understand what love is. All the time I had been trying to find myself, my place in life, solving my internal puzzles, and wishing for happiness—I was looking for love. I thought I had a glimpse, a vision of love…visions of love. One vision was that it’s a dimension between two people, a space just for them and nobody else, where they can be together.
I realized that my desire to be loved faded due to a lack of faith that it was possible (the reason for this lack of faith is not important, but the consequences are) and gradually transformed into a desire to be admired
I noticed her the moment I came into that small cafe. That deep dark eyes... I bet I saw them before. I don’t remember where. She was sitting near the window in the cozy alcove, with her mug full with coffee. She sat so still and her face was so out of emotions that I could think that she was hypnotized. I could see her face from where I sat and it charmed me. I was trying to recall where I could see it before, when a small tear has dropped into her mug.
Perhaps, if she could find at least one pair of ear plugs before going to bed last night, Amy wouldn't have woke up from a slight metal clicking. But all earplugs seemed to have magically vanished from the house, and she was forced to expose her ears to all possible sounds night and morning could bring. Night wasn’t that bad. Besides, she slept much deeper during night hours, but became really sound-sensitive around morning time.
Mother! - one of the most amazing examples of modern cinematographic symbolism I've ever decoded. And still will be decoding for a while at least for the fun of it.
It's been a great journey to have access to so much great stuff to watch that comes free with Amazon Prime membership, which itself is not necessarily cheap, but the Amazon Instant Video in my opinion completely makes up for it.
1. We are discovering again that we live in deeply mysterious world, full of sudden coincidences and anachronistic encounters that seem destined.
I believe that gratitude is a great state of mind and heart that can bring you to an awareness and eventually pure happiness. Even during the hardest times, it’s so easy to bring back this great feeling of understanding that your life is actually full of blessing – just by entering this state of gratitude.
I would like to share with you my most favorite quotes from a book that had a great influence on me and increased my self-awareness - The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

I’d like to share a near death experience that I had after my mom died. But before I go into details, I have to say that I am not completely positive that it actually was an NDE or just merely a dream about an NDE.
It was a dark and cold night.
A small group of people - perhaps around 10 including myself, were locked down in a one story building. The building was surrounded by wolves. Although the building was small, there were many rooms - it was sort of a convenience store at a gas station with a live-in quarters, where I assumed the building service worker could live with their family.
I'm in the radio network studio, all set to run a show on the Beatles. Everything seems fine, I'm prepared with a show script (handwritten, word by word - exactly what I want to say).
