Growing up at work
Some time ago I said I wanted to write about 20 words and concepts, this is one of them.
Perhaps one that has a certain internal reading, and while I write it helps me to order some ideas and, specially, for this blog is also an element of internal communication and so people who work me to know, what I often think of work-related issues in general, not his particular, and might not have had occasion to deal with them.
You may be wrong, but I feel that the term "work" does not stand a snapshot, meaning has changed over recent years, I think overall for society.
In 2007 and 2008 all had work, had to spare, was a necessary evil. Labour mobility was high, from my position the weight of the loyalty concept became critical to maintaining an operational structure. I think many people, and in my own family I have seen several examples, not an asset valued itself on "having a job" in a country that historically this has been a major Achilles heel.
In some ways, the work is as eels, known especially well when you realize that it costs an enormous effort and hardly any, that shortage is the value it makes you so special and important. Indeed, a comparison would be more fun if work is not necessary today to buy a kilo of glass eels is frivolous, and come this year to pay over 2,000 euros / kilo and frankly this new year, not if it costs more to find a job or buy a kilo of glass eels
The crisis has taught many people in a cruel, something unknown, that work can become scarce, and to sample the more than 4 million unemployed people in Spain and the thousands of immigrants who are returning to their countries of origin . It is a drama, but also a warning to some people who thought they could change jobs constantly at the slightest difficulty, did not value the efforts of companies and their employers and sometimes took the decision to change jobs trivially , total, "if in a few weeks I'll find something" ... Well, these weeks have become months and those months have been the end of the strike that you were assigned, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people have not found anything . I imagine that in the next 2-3 years, when all this will happening, placed achieved but what you really desire, is well placed to have learned that this is cyclical and can happen again.
The majority sindicaticos, ridiculously anachronistic in modern Spain, live in the heat of government grants (few unions would, and I doubt they were the great, if you had to keep the shares of workers), insist on drawing a line I do not share that between the worker and the employer. To me that does not exist and is something of the past ... or if there is much more tenuous than it was 10 or 20 years.
The concept of worker begins to thin now seemingly distant concepts with the "investor" and "employer"
What have I gained in this position?, What is my market value?, Have I improved my CV this year?, Have I learned and discovered new perspectives?
These questions also apply to a company, an investment and a worker.
To me we are all businessmen, entrepreneurs and businesses that employ people who capitalize his own work within a company, ie they are entrepreneurs themselves, but ultimately we are all one way or another business, and if we do not feel well like ourselves is that we are capitalizing on bad our effort.

Overcome
Overcome
It's another of my 20 words of 20 with whom I wished to reflect the season begins. Frankly, I do not know if many people read these brief notes rather abstract and conceptual, never mind.
Sometimes post I wrote for others, and I have tried to be, within my limitations, informative. These post 20 words, do not write for others, for the first time I write for myself, possibly a one-person dialogue in order to attempt to reflect on ideas and concepts. I found him away from the noise and relaxes me.
A one-man talk today is likely to be sterile, but I like to have is a way to find myself, I think it gives me, and if someone else is willing to share it, great: welcome to the club.
The improvement is the power to break the boundaries that are, objectively predefined for you. I think there are few things more beautiful to do that. So conceptually overcome is misused, it is very difficult to see an action of self-improvement. If I look back, I find a single event in my life when I have broken that barrier. I think there are moments that gave the maximum, I approached that objectively could have done something right, but frankly I do not remember a single frame of my life that can frame in which it was not possible "that little extra" that makes the difference .
Derek Redmond is to be overcome. You have worked and focused on something, whatever, over a lifetime, work hard years, and that when the time all fall, something happens. That something is the key motivation that makes you improve yourself and makes you go down in history.
Derek Redmond was a British athlete, an athlete. 4 years hard work to give the C's in 45 seconds, which would in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Focus your life and your career as an athlete in 45 seconds, is in itself an enormous and generous effort and risk. What unexpected misfortune, possibly caused by the tension of the moment, made Derek found it was more than an athlete.
A mid-career Derek injured his hamstring, collapsing and feeling great pain. The world was coming, but knew suffering and pain overcome with the help of his father who jumped from the public, on one leg, with pain, and already running a different degree, crossed the finish line. Not if he had won or lost, no matter. The obstacle overcome him, overcome frustration, pain, find motivation and recreate it. Although possibly was not aware at the time, Derek Redmond if he won that race, and 17 years later is still remembered.
When you need that bit of extra motivation and need to be overcome in order to see this video and feel Derek can help.

Returning to the culture of Effort
I remember wearing little time writing in this blog. Not that carry much so, I've only been a year and very little. But I remember they were a few days or weeks and in a post I wrote something related to the effort. I llvoieron some collejas that left me somewhat confused.
I still remember a comment that is approved and said something like this:
"In addition to science fiction that possibility, it seems that what we want all the" young "is that, collect shit (thousand euros and little, hopefully) and off (does having life, perhaps?), In addition to working as minimum (¿40 hours a week, perhaps, and never paid no extras?) But what are you going? Go back to the real world, your trabajaos something almost no personal life (because being married to an aunt who see two hours a week and take the child to the park is not to have life) and come out occasionally Majadahonda. "
The comment was anonymous, signed by "Maria" with a fake email and followed a similar one from the same IP with another name, but not publish it so I stopped, very rarely I moderated a comment on this post. The reality is that a year later still remember, is one of the comments that have been published that I have more fresh in memory, Mary thought much about it, and that I do not live in Majadahonda.
So when I said that after the holidays would write about 20 words / concepts different, and I would like to take and do it every Tuesday, this is the first and "effort" the first word that popped into my head.
Clearly, the effort for this girl and for me is different. I did not know, thought it was a universal word full of values in itself, without question, and I found and I was surprised to see that it has to be this way and that there are other positions, respectable, of course, but I do not share with the effort .
For that reason I would like to explain something out loud. For me, the effort is the way I try to overcome my weaknesses, because I know-and my only merit-that I have huge weaknesses as a person and professional, and so on give it all is important for two reasons. The first is a matter of self and motivation if I try, if it fills me what I do and I find it simple, soft, and reached limiting myself to meet objectives, I have no motivation and delegate that task. Not if it is right or not, but what I do. If there is no challenge there is an objective.
I am an extremely critical of myself and what I do. I also sometimes durum with others, true, and that's because I presume to be extremely critical and demanding of myself and I "skinning" at certain times in the mirror and find it an extra motivation factor. I'm not doing complacent.
Unfortunately I have enough capacity if detected in other people, making them intrinsic halo achieve goals over and over again with ease. I have no quality that can make a difference to anyone, and my only way is to work and try harder. Yes, on occasion, as Mary says somewhat dismissively, as these days devoted to trying to give one more push something has invaded my personal life, is a topic that as I meet more years, and I have more family obligations, attempt to control and maintain a certain discipline.
With a simple analogy, when I look in the mirror I see that I am-not nearly-Usain Bolt, a guy who will run and win without breaking a sweat, it's usually always someone around to see if it seems to me there is always someone get me out 10 meters difference in the finish line with ease. Someone always seems to be born for the purpose that I seek, and it is always another person, a person that the only way to beat him or at least try to get to their level is the effort, work harder than him, knowing that you may not get it yet.
We spent a few years when everything was too cheap, even access to jobs and money.
People with acquired 1.000Eur salaries of 250,000 or 300,000 homes, now have to pay and that's going to have to work hard, if you were going to work a few weeks were at one with what was worthless endeavor, it was even something stupid and now we are on track to incredible 20% unemployment (as in cultures of effort and self-made man like the USA are shocked to have 9%). If anything good has this situation, you might at least put fashion, as it was in many moments in our society, a culture of effort.
I love watching Bolt run, enjoy it, is spectacular. It is the best. It has innate qualities that are pure spectacle, something historic. But to really admire is the three or four that are behind, they have to literally "kill" to be at a level close, when Bolt runs at 90%, others manage to overcome to 110% in order to be close to knowing that yet, do not expire, nor will beat any records. They are truly the Dream Team, that inspire me most admired and trusted.

Only 20 words
I've been a tough week.
Only 10 days holiday, and I found a month ... and a return so bogged down with so many different issues that took a few days completely saturated.
I write these lines to the 19.43 from my office. I'm only hours ago. I even left home several hours today, Thursday, and I wanted to go without writing a few lines in this blog.
Last week rental, updated it recently. This week, with the return to routine, I've been so overwhelmed by a thousand appointments, meetings and outstanding issues that had not had time yet.
At least before I go home this time wanted to share with whom he wants to do 25 concepts. Do not know if many or few, but these are mine, things that at some point want to talk the next few weeks. Try to be 1 per day and I reserve the scoring to go any more.
In August usually have the habit (or mania, as viewed) before the season starts, scoring 25 words that mean something to me or that I see any reason to meet important goals in the season begins. This time I mean the loud, because I want to force a write once a week until it is done a post about each of them.
These are the concepts without any predefined order, I have come to mind:
Sacrifice and Effort
The Theoretical
Growing at Work
Surrender
Managing people
Trying to cover too
Management favors
Volunteering
Few Indians
Bluff
Escape
Running like headless chickens
Mentally disabled
The Loneliness of the entrepreneur
Self-financing
Learn to say NO
Management personnel productivity
Leaping,
Live
Exit the Cave
Collective Intelligence
