Who stinks in offices?

Bad breath, unpleasant smell, stench are enemies of every person. Everyone decides about own habits, but if you work with such people, your life could be a nightmare in the cloud of smell. It is easy to warn your roommate to wash teeth or change clothes, but if you are in this situation, would you choose to be open and honest or to suffer in silence because you don't want to hurt him? This happened in one of the offices at the Ministry of defense in Croatia. Darko got a new office mate, old woman Barbara who is  55 years old. She never worked in civil service and she needs money until her retirement. First, Darko was fascinated because she was a busy bee, ready to solve every file and to clean the closet from old documents. She helped him with clients because he was really busy. After a month Darko noticed a bad smell in his office, and his colleagues smiled every time when he was with them at lunch pause.  - Why you smile? - Darko, did you wash your laundry? Or

Learn about marketing : you are what you represent

A beautiful face opens many doors that are closed for average people. If you are pretty and if you know to represent your beauty, this door will stay open for you always. We can talk about injustice, but beauty will capture our eyes at first sight and even it can deceive us, we will still admire the good shape of the body, pretty eyes, and sexy lips. When we represent our country to the world, we can talk about the beauty of nature, historical tradition, and one of the cleanest sea, Adriatic sea. Imagine that you are in the seminar and you want to know more about Croatia. Would you listen more carefully that it comes from the mouth of a pretty woman? Now take a look at this picture. This is an ex-minister of planning in Croatia.  So, you are invited to a seminar about investment in Croatia, would you be interested in something that she is talking about? On next photo is ex Italian minister, even from the background, she will capture attention. For sure,

Are you a giver or a recipient?

One quote said: Be good to others and they will be good for you. The good act will be returned by another good act. I disagree with this because the world is not fair to place. In life, we will meet various people, and some will really appreciate good deeds and they will do everything to show appreciation and gratitude when you do something for them. This story has another side, about people who take others for granted. They are recipients, not givers. They constantly ask for donors, but rarely open their heart to do something for others. A very sensitive area for giving and receiving is love. When we fall in love and when love is not mutual, or at least is not equal, our limits will be very foggy. We can do things we never thought of before. We can suffer and handle such actions we never did. Passionate love can ruin our pride and dignity, and we will not be aware of this. At least, we did it for him, for her, for love of our life. Sheila really

Are you the adventurous type?

The little child tries to walk alone, without help. The first steps are painful, the result can be hurting knees and falling on the ground with tears. The child will not give up and this is the first risk in his or her life. Life is created in risky situations. In this game, we must lean on ourselves. It is nice to have a safety belt or someone you call always in the case of trouble, but sometimes you will stay alone with your desires and wishes. If you can handle your task alone, you are independent. Ruby wanted to see a new nightclub in her city but her friends were against it. They used to go to old places where all familiar people gathered every Saturday. She called all her girls, but one of them was sick, the others had a date with her boyfriend and the third stayed at home to learn for the difficult exam. Ruby was in dilemma, to stay at home or to go alone? She wanted to change and her wishes were stronger than her fear. She decided to go alone. That ni

How to push someone to make a final decision?

Million plans and wishes, and little time for realization. Life is short for all big dreams we wish to realize, and if we don't use every suitable moment, we are as gamblers who lost big amount of money. There is no worse thing than gambling with time. Something gone and that moment will never come back. Delay is the enemy of every action. As much we delay more time we will spend. One day we will stand in front of the wall, unable to jump over it, because it is too high. One of the ways to move in life is a syndrome of the last minute. When we stand and look into our last chance, the heart will beat very fast. So, this is it. Final chance to pass this exam or you will repeat the year. Last chance to propose that girl or she will leave you alone. Last offer at your work, take it or leave it. Adrenaline jump very high, you are pressured so what to do now? People react very differently in the time of pressure. I am one of the people who will react very positive

How to eliminate rage?

You are angry with your boss, friend, relatives? You want to kick some asses or to slap someone? This feeling is familiar to everyone. Even the calmest person has a moment of "yellow minutes" when the feeling of rage takes over. Whatever reason for anger was, we want revenge on the culprit, causer of this anger. Here is an imagined picture, black eye or tears on his eyes, that guy who deserves to be punished. I wish to make miserable this girl. How dare she, to make me angry like that? The feeling of anger has many sources. This comes out from disrespect or denials. It is not easy when someone underestimates our deeds and feelings, and when someone plays with us. When we can't fight back in a proper way, we are powerless. Yes how great it would be to slap my boss but I will lose a job in this case. I would spit on my doctor because I got an appointment with him and I waited 2 hours in the clinic, but I can't do it.  Savage people will have simple

Do you more give or take?

Quid pro quo, that is an old Latin proverb. It means, gives and take. If you ask for a favor, I will do it, but next time I will need feedback. If you don't want to help me I will consider you as selfish. Ask next time something from me and you will not get it. Human relations should be based on reciprocity, as we have two hands on one body. I give you love and I expect your love for return. I am loyal to you, I will not screw you, but also I am not a fool. If you think that I am not worthy of your respect and loyalty, for sure I will know this and you will lose my affection. A selfish person will hardly understand the meaning of reciprocity. So, I am used that others please to my wishes. It comes out from childhood. Mother made a cake for me but I don't want to wash dishes. She will wash instead of me. My friend did my homework because I did not know-how. She asked me to borrow her skirt, but I can't do this, I don't lend my clothes. A selfish person
