Sun and the Mountains

-
Recognize the good around you - even Harvard Business says so. Manager's should praise their employees, but for some reason many find it difficult. It won't make you look weaker if you show your admiration and support to those who report to you. It will increase their confidence in themselves, and in you as their supervisor, as you will reassure them that they can count on and trust you. 

People like attention, and if hard work is going unnoticed, you will soon notice a decline in that hard work. 
 
"How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! To behold this alone is worth the pains of any excursion a thousand times over. The highest peaks burned like islands in a sea of liquid shade. Then the lower peaks and spires caught the glow, and long lances of light, streaming through many a notch and pass, fell thick on the frozen meadows."  
John Muir, from ''John of the Mountains," (1938)

Around 5:45 now…I’m stalling in this café, around 15 minutes away from Linsey’s house and we’re meeting around 6:30. I don’t want to order something else because I haven’t really eaten anything substantial today and I don’t want to fill up on this stuff. And trying to rest my weary dogs I mean damn! Just like Paris. Except I think I’m a little more tired, probably puts me on the same consciousness level I suppose. The owner lad...

Coming Right Up

Coming right up is a trip to Argentina! I too thought one country in South America would be enough, but really that is kind of a silly thought. Because Brasil is kind of the country in South America that is the odd one out anyways. Portuguese speaking and so much bigger than the rest, it would only make sense to go to Buenos Aires as well. Also because Devon said it would be diggity to go visit! Well, exciting to be sure and the word is that the city is quite charming. Back in Sao Paulo for a few days, rain is threatening to crack the simmering humidity but has so far withheld its splashing water so the air hugs us tight. If one wishes to take photos of buildings, Sao Paolo is truly a great destination. There are buildings far and few and in the middle, in the background and in the foreground and to every side. Some are old, some are new, some brightly painted and some streets lined entirely with the dullest gray imaginable. Some are under construction, wrapped loosely in torn baggy...
