Capitulo 4: La gente empezó a enamorarse de los cuerpos, cuando las mentes dejaron de valer la pena.

Ms Beautiful lo sabia, y lo sabia bien. 

Ella sabia que la belleza es temporal, y sabia que la belleza pasa con los años, por eso no hacia de su belleza su orgullo, y cómo la amaba y admiraba Walter por ello. Podia hacer juegos con su belleza, como cualquier otra mujer, pero no dejaba que se le subiera a la cabeza, porque lo más maravilloso de ella estaba en su mente. 

Su belleza era solo un instrumento de su personalidad que la naturaleza le habia otorgado, era solo un complemento apreciado en su persona, que cuando se conectaba con su mente, trabajando belleza y el racicionio, hacían bomba, explosión, juegos pirotécnicos en una fiesta con glamour, porque su mente era maravillosa.

Miss Beautiful, amaba a la gente, y tenia un tremendo amor por el ser humano, tan inmenso como el amor por si misma, pero no la coloquen en el lado opuesto, donde alguien viene a destruir su amor y sus amores, porque arderá Troya, tormentas y rayos electrizantes que dejarán quemados a los que se envuelvan en ello.

La mente de Ms Beautiful, el compromiso de Ms Beautiful, era el proposito, una mente con un propósito, pegando una tercera cualidad a una hermosa mujer que podia como los pavoreales, extender todos sus hermosos plumajes ante el hombre de su agrado.

Por eso Walter no amaba su cuerpo, amaba su mente. 

Ella tenia una mente maravillosa. 

Por que, Juan, por qué? -preguntaba su madre- Por qué te resulta tan difícilmente ser como el resto de la Bandada, Juan. Por qué no dejas los vuelos rasantes a los pelícanos y a los albatros...

Mira Juan -dijo su padre con cierta ternura- El invierno está cerca. Habrá pocos barcos, y los peces de superficie se habrán ido a las profundidades. Si quieres estudiar, estudia sobre la comida y cómo conseguirla. Esto de volar es muy bonito, pero no puedes comerte un planeo, sabes? No olvides que la razón de volar es comer.

How should I go about describing a character who goes through a lot, becoming more disheveled and desperate as the plot goes on?

Desperation is the emotion that drives characters to their limits, leading to their most intense and extreme behaviours.

The Coca Cola logo or vending machine was shown only 10 seconds out of 1:31 minutes, in all these scenes from real life commercial. 

That is all it takes, a brief moment, when a brand is positioned. The logic and magic, strategy and creativity are together to build a brand. Why we do not let the Coca Cola Logo stays in right hand corner along the 1:31? The reason is  the magic side, the creativity side, the story behind is what matters to associate it with the brand. That is all it takes to position the name brand into the public.

 When enough individuals arrive at the same gut feeling, a company can be said to have a brand. In other words, a brand .Is not what YOU say it is. It’s what THEY say it is.

Mi Amiga

Yo tengo una amiga, y suelo disfrutar de su presencia. Mi amiga es especial, como toda buena amiga. Ante sus ojos, sere a veces un amor, otras veces un gato, otras un encanto, otras un safado, otras algo sensacional, otras un operado de la cabeza; u otras mas, la perla de la virgen. Al influjo del enojo y cuando sale fuera de control, esa perspectiva cambia por otra mas locuaz, y soy un imbecil, un estupido, un don nadie, un loco, un sarrapastroso, un gato, y para insultar mas mi intelectualidad "sois mi gato" en un afan de tener un sentido de posesion con el cual jugar, y sentir control. La miro, la observo, dejo que queme todas las toxinas hasta que quede sin mas grasa que quemar, y se apacienta y hecha a llorar. Entonces le pregunto: estas bien? Y prorrumpe en llanto. La abrazo, y le digo "todo estara bien" y se tranquiliza, pidiendo ella disculpas por el exabrupto. Y todo sigue igual! Y asi pasan los dias, y de nuevo vuelven esos dias odiosos, y de nuevo se repiten las historias. Que le vamos a hacer? Es mi amiga, Simplemente mi amiga Y yo soy su amigo Simplemente su amigo.

In Business Everything is About Trust Entertainment Business Finance

The world in business is based in trust because we depend in that character to make our company grow and go to the next level. In a conversation titled “First Why, then Trust” at TED.Com, Simon Sinek stated “the very survival of human race depends on our ability to surround ourselves with people who believe what we believe. When we are surrounded by these people who believe what we believe something remarkable happens: Trust emerges”.

Trusting in business is about giving the customer the conviction that his or her product will be delivered with high quality. The customer and the service provider will build up a relationship very special for both agents agree to the price, in one side of the equation, and the quality of the product, on the other side of that relationship.

That communication, that trust between both agents generates an exceptional atmosphere, and in words of Sinek “the reason trust is important is because when we are surrounded with people that believe what we believe, we are more confident to take risks, we are more confident to experiment, we are more confident to go out there and explore”.

In that sense, that confidence inspire us to make thing better says Simon Sinek and “When an organization is founded, what they do and why they do it becomes inextricably linked. There is a founder or some group of founders able to put their vision into words and their passion inspire others to come with others and pursue some things grater than all themselves”.  As they work together and succeed, says the author, they cannot rely on themselves because they become a big corporation and the reason “Why” they do it becomes fuzzy “and right there is the split”.

When there is a split between the customer and the business, both of those agents loose something that they really want, they untie a connection and they set free a good relationship that was profitable. Sinek address the loss of Steve Jobs from Apple in 1994-1998 brought that the company sales went down, and started to climb when he returned to the company again. He had the vision and that connection between the customer and the company.

Nowadays, according to the author, you cannot trust through the Internet, the video, and the bloggers because they cannot replace the human interaction, human contact. “Our very survival depends on interact with the human being, a friend is not somebody you check the status on, the conversation does not happen on a blog, and you can not have a discussion on twitter because these are human expressions”.

Certainly that is why a deal is more profitable when the customer and the business owner shake their hand at the end of the deal because that means they trust each other. As Simon Sinek explained it finally “real conversation, what we need is more handshake discussion, more handshake friends, handshake leadership, and we will find our own sense of happiness and inspiration that requires being among people: believe, we believe”.

When we believe, finally I should say, a business is born and a good relationship with the customer is set as a foundation because we believe in both agents, and we trust each other. Nonetheless we will build a product that satisfies high expectations on customers because they trust on us, that we can do exactly as they wanted that particular product to look like, and feel like as Apple and Zappo did with their clients.
