Steve Jobs it's really cool.

Imagine a world without Romania

Pretty interesting movie.
Romania is a nice country. I think it's OK to be proud that we are Romanians.
But we shouldn't fall on the other side and begin thinking that we are superior to all the rest.

Enjoy!

Free Hugs Campaign in Bucharest Romania

You must have heard already about the "Free Hugs Campaign" - their movie was one of the best on youtube.com in 2006.

And people from allover the world found their idea great and they put it into practice in their own cities and countries. Seems that even people in Bucharest, Romania implemented this.

The quality of the video is not that good, but the initiative is great. Have fun watching it.

Have look:

Steve Jobs

This is a classic: Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005
I think it influences a lot if Romanian students. More and more Romanian students think that academic studies are not enough to be able to have successful live and that is why most of them start working before graduating.
I think this is a good thing given the fact that there is a major shortage on the Romanian qualified workforce right now.
It is also very encouraging for the people who want to start their own business.

STAY HUNGRY! STAY FOOLISH!

Have fun watching it:

Google Philosophy

This will be the first post from a series of posts dedicated to Google as I see it.
Many people love Google because it's trendy. And because it's easy to love something that's part of your life and helps you day by day. I will try to have a deeper view on what Google means.

I will quote some of the things written on Google's website that I don't know how many people read before. I ope it will be useful for those who want to get a better understanding on the online phonomen and on Google who is one of the main actors in this scene.

Quoting from Google's website:
Never settle for the best
"The perfect search engine," says Google co-founder Larry Page, "would understand exactly what you mean and give back exactly what you want." Given the state of search technology today, that's a far-reaching vision requiring research, development and innovation to realize. Google is committed to blazing that trail. Though acknowledged as the world's leading search technology company, Google's goal is to provide a much higher level of service to all those who seek information, whether they're at a desk in Boston, driving through Bonn, or strolling in Bangkok.

To that end, Google has persistently pursued innovation and pushed the limits of existing technology to provide a fast, accurate and easy-to-use search service that can be accessed from anywhere. To fully understand Google, it's helpful to understand all the ways in which the company has helped to redefine how individuals, businesses and technologists view the Internet.

In the next posts I will present "Ten things Google has found to be true"

Blogging CAN make a diffrence !!

I just saw one of the most impressive stories about how blogging can make a difference.
I was visiting CISCO's website - The Human Network.

And I read this impressive story:
"Earlier last year, I had an idea: build 35 houses for victims of violence in Colombia, which would take up to 200 people off the streets. My goal was to raise the money myself and hire locals to do the work. I created a blog to share information about the project, and soon had up to to 15,000 visitors per month. I raised $170,000, and none of this would have happened without the blog."
Read the full story on Human Network website
It also has a nice video about Dave's story.
