Music in life

January 12th, 2009. Published under General. No Comments.

When I meet new people one of the most important questions that I ask is “what music do you like?” For me musical tastes of any person matters a lot. This is because for me music is very important part of life. So I decided to write this post and explain what music means for me.

I can’t leave without Music. I think this is one of the most powerful way to enforce your emotions of any kind. For me certain types and styles of music suits to different situations and moods. So roughly I can divide all the music that I listen in the following categories:

  1. Dancing/Club/Party – here comes all the modern electronic music like House, Drum’n'Bass, Techno etc.
  2. Working – I prefer acid jazz or minimal techno for the working environment
  3. Relaxing – ambient, acid jazz, atmospheric drum’n'bass suits here just fine
  4. Thoughtful – in this mood I like to listen indie of all kind
  5. Energy out – commercial house, pop-punk, industrial works fine for me here

So you see, how it is difficult for me to explain, what music do I like? And when I see in somebody the same problem answering my question, it’s a signal for me that the person is interesting.

What role plays music in your life? Sometimes I will post some of my most adorable track.

Games

When we were kids, we loved to play. This was the thing we did everyday and if we liked the game, we played in it for hours. Todays kids and teenagers play video games and they also very fanatic about them. They beat top scores every time, participate in championships, play endless hours via internet. There are ratings of best players and ladders.

What is good about games is that you try to do your best there. Wouldn’t that be cool if you work as hard as they play? Or as you yourself sometimes played? You just need to love your work as they love their games.

Advantages of systems approach

January 6th, 2009. Published under General. No Comments.

Hello everyone, and this is my first post in 2009. I’ve spent the New Year in beautiful capital of Estonia – Tallin. It’s the third time being there, but the city turns to us from a very different perspective everytime. There will be some photos of the trip on my Flick page soon.

The theme of this post is Systems approach. As you may know, currently I spend a lot of time in researching it: I read books, read lectures and conduct trainings based on systems approach. The biggest problem in it is its explanation. People want to know in simple words, what is it all about and how it can help them. I’ll try to explain it on my personal example. (more…)
