Idealists in Business

Idealists in Business

I sat in a meeting where the business proposition sounded very Idealistic. It had all the key words: relationships, uplifting people, mutual growth etc...

If you know me, I sound like that... but I talk to people who really know me about things like that. I don't talk to people who don't know me that well. The Idealistic Spiel is a business move and practice.

An indicator of how a person is really idealistic and altruistic is how conservative and how very down to earth the expectations they provide. They don't say much of anything useful, in fact they sound like a dead end.
It appears like they have more to say but they don't say anything till what should happen happens.

Now that kind a person is Idealistic for sticking to a path few tread, their honor and image of themselves as not being tainted by the "game".

Exaggeration is a way to get people moving, unfortunately it slips to easily like a lie. I like using the Framing Technique, where I point out something using a cognitive bias or borderline fallacy to sell it. Some use swords, others axes or spears. We all have our preferred weapons, and alls fair in my opinion.

Wisdom of Crowds and my management lessons have made me paranoid of how good people are from detecting bullshit and exagerations. So I play with the Framing Cards, fortunately for me in Cognitive Biases really show how gray the word can be.

Looking for something to Listen to.

I wish I had time to write and have my own Filipino History or Game in the Brain Podcast. A commentary about Philippine history using some solid sources.

I cant think of anything to listen to, except The Teaching Company lessons.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
