Privacy policy

In my opinion there are two points of view about workplace policy… As a future business manager, who has to be aware about employees behavior and has to decrease costs and expenses, I think that limiting the time people are not performing as it’s required is the key to achieve it…

But as an future employee I’m conscious that it’s very important for people to have leisure time… Because it might become a way to improve productivity. But to control that leisure time is correct… Hmm it requires for instance certain control systems as security cams, software and security guards…

I don’t agree with people checking if somebody’s connected to Facebook, MSN, Twitter, etc… It has to be verified with someone’s productivity… It’s unfair to feel that you don’t have the chance to check your personal e-mail or answer personal calls, cause that’s part of your life as an integral human…

In summary, it’s necessary to base work relationships between employer and employees on confidence… Maybe some periodic checks are fundamental, but they have to be established for people involved. Employees must give its best because they are not paid to make social life at work…

Balance is the principal way to do everything better…

Warriors without weapons...

Well… I don`t agree with war anyway… It`s been one of the worst episodes of the humanity. It`s incredible that people in the 21st century still think on eliminate other humans that don`t the same thoughts, feelings or idiosyncrasy… Or at least have something they pretend…

Nowadays, a lot of wars are happening and many innocents receive the impact of that catastrophe… None has enough power to control what`s going on with a group of people. That’s why many agreements are signed to make better our situation, to prevent more murders and injured people.

In Costa Rica we have the chance to enjoy peace however our country has a huge index of crimes, murders, violations and drunk drivers who really produce a lot of troubles for people to feel to relax and comfortable. Costa Rica has been taken as a paradise of drugs, prostitution and whatever crime people can imagine or cannot… Police, government and rules created have demonstrated that are not capable to control all problems that happen every day.

Personally, I think that in our country it is not necessary to have wars in order to feel insecure, we see day a day that crime is increasing and courts absolve criminals and let them to do whatever they want to… But as we know if somebody tries to preserve his/her life from a thief and make him/her damage… He or she will go to jail and probably will have stay there for a while, days or years…

INCREDIBLE… :S

Escats… Despasito…

It was a very nice concert… I`d never gone to Escats’ concert… The band sound was OK and I liked a lot its rhythm. I think Luis Alonso controlled perfectly the stage.

In spite of rain, a lot of people came to the auditorium; everybody sang its songs… And also the band offered a menu of covers from years and decades ago. The band members gave their best effort to make people enjoy the presentation.

I think as "ticos" we have to be conscious that Costa Rica has excellent artists.
Next time, don`t think it twice before you have the chance to assist to concerts of national musicians…

Spiritual Renewal…

Religion is something very difficult to refer to… Hmm it´s often complicated to give an opinion about it… Personally I don´t follow any religion because I only believe in god. It´s incredible when some people believe in priests and pastors because I think they stop prioritize god and Jesus as their real and unique objective or guide.

I consider extremes are not recommended… For example to me it´s a little bit crazy to be keep praying for hours and hours… I think first it´s not healthy and second it´s better to think about using my time helping people. There are more interesting ways to show your gratitude to God as making people to feel so happy.

Hmm… It´s unfair to use God as a way to become rich… God has to be a part of your life who has to support you in order to live better, more relax and very hopeful. I think money and material things come by your own effort… Destiny prizes people who have decided as a principle of life: to protect God´s creation.

Finally, I think there are some things that people could do for strengthening their spirit, for instances: being closer to poor people and doing your best to help them, trying to be always happy, thinking on helping people at every moment, quitting telling bad things about other people and being faithful to God. This is just about doing it for yourself and the people around you.

Feng Shui...

Feng Shui…

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese tradition and technique, developed 4.000 years ago, that mixes philosophy and natural sciences in order to improve life. It´s not only a science but also an art, based on interpreting changes in nature and weather stars. This doctrine is focus on “chi”, referred to 'energy', as a sense of 'life force', which might be modified by the space form, the cardinal points and some temporal changes.

Now Feng Shui is getting more relevant for real estate investors, because they think it means a plus to sell buildings more expensive. First they offer this as a philosophy that provides a mental and physical change. It´s inspired on forms as: mirrors, crystals, sounds, thoughts, water, plants, gardens, and furniture orientation.

This doctrine is based on cardinal points, so they have different and important meanings. For instances north represents: career and business success and has water as its principal element, east: is related to vitality and youth and has wood as its element, south has fire as its element and represents fame, and finally west: has metal as its element and represents children and family.

In summary, believe Feng Shui works or not depends on you, some people might think it´s real but some other might not. This is an oriental custom that has become more and more popular lately. There are some people that consider this habit as pure consumerism, because occidental people have never had in lives.

Fracture

Fracture…

This is an interesting American drama movie filmed in 2007; the plot of the movie is about a 60 years old person (Mr. Crawford) who, after realizing his wife had an affair with a detective, decided to assassinate her with the own detective pistol. This movie makes you feel very upset because it seems to be incredible that someone commits a crime and there is no way no blame him.

It´s a cool movie that has a mix among some genres as: crime, drama, mystery and thriller. Inexplicably the movie involves two lives into a story; the older man who was accused of attempted homicide and has to defend himself about the crime and Williy Beachum, a lawyer, who has to find a way to take the suspect to prison.

It´s curious to me that the lawyer, who was the judgment fiscal, got so involved with the life of the protagonist´s wife. It was a strange relationship because he didn´t know her before, but he wanted to preserve her living. After the first judgment finished, the old man decided to disconnect his wife from the artificial respiration, which might suppose her dying.

Finally, Mrs. Crawford died and her husband was considered innocent because there were no tracks to accuse him. Mr. Beachum persists trying to blame him, what seemed a bit impossible, until the lawyer realized there is an important fact, as the lady died her husband might be accuse of assassination now. The movie ends when a new judgment is beginning, Mr. Crawford has to start his “salvation game” again…

Dear Mr. Ramírez:

Last week I went to your presentation about the antivirus Panda Security at ULACIT, I`m really pleased to have learned about its importance nowadays. It`s essential to take care of children because they are exposed to many risk situations as pornography and pimps.

I want to invite you to share this presentation in my neighborhood next month, maybe a Saturday in the afternoon. I think it is necessary for adults and principally kinds to know that you can have access to technology but safely.

Please contact me as soon as possible in order to coordinate this activity; here you have my email and my cell phone.
