Carpe Diem "Portulaca Oleracea L."

Why some companies go under and others remain above the water, floating away of the problems!?  Is it just a matter of perspective, like in the story, "is the glass half full or half empty"!?  The following items and techniques are missing in most business across the world, condemning them to failure. Many times, analyses focused in competitive advantages, tackle the lack of competitiveness, trying to solve it by lowering the wages or devaluing the currency. Therefore, they try to fake the real problem, by lowering the weights in the balance, and usually in the long run don't solve anything. In order to solve most problems concerning competitiveness, every company and business must incorporate the following into their "DNA - Dynamic Nature and Approach", every day, and into every thing they do: Capital - The availability of working capital (wc), capital expenditure (capex) and business venture capital to promote the existing and the new star...

Down with the old economic truth ...welcome to the new (old) economic basics ... time to look at Production (real production) and to competitiveness, take a look at people and work hard, promote the ability to coordinate efforts, to plan ahead, to innovate, to induce collaboration and value the ones who create the conditions to grow in a sustainable way, giving the new motivation a chance to be contagious and finally to achieve results ... we might be surprised about what we will find and with what we can do. The Ratings are reflecting it the wrong way. Why?... when they can make it work, measuring it the other way... When a country accumulates sovereign debt in excess, going over their capacity to repay what they are borrowing, again and again, Rating Agencies say - "this is triple AAA" !!!???  This example and the followings occurred during the past decade, but they haven't learned and it happened during the past 2 years after the pick of the fi...

GDP-FOR-EU ( Growth Driven Projects for the EU ) Want to promote growth, without stopping the necessary Fiscal and Budget consolidation? Restructuring the European economy, takes time and effort, work and sacrifices. Financial Markets work on anticipation, without effort. The difference between these two time-lines, don't favor a good job. "Uma Europa de Nações", Europe of Nations or "L'Europe des patries" (by General de Gaulle, in 1962)? yes!!! Everyone should really play their part...and they are not doing it...  The European Parliament (the center of EU democracy) should be able to also act and serve as the Board of Control/Verification for all national Budgets,  including  the EU Budget  A fully independent EU Board of Budgeting and control, can be achieved through the European Parliament. Would they dare to make it happen?  The European Commission should be the center of the EU policy, moving the Union forward, o...

Como tal, nunca vão poder elaborar / construir uma solução adequada para os problemas que estamos a enfrentar.

One Picture that i like ... this photo was shot at "Serra da Estrela, Portugal, in 2006", and was taken with the intent of presenting the feeling of a journey into the unknown ... With a sense of Peace, Serenity, nice colors, and a direction that is clearly defined, even not knowing where we will end up to, exactly ... We are left with an option: Because we can see the road, not all the way, but only the direction that it is taking in the mid horizon, we can choose ... if we want to take that road or not ... like in life ... !!! Tranquility, Serenety, a sense of Peace, an afternoon well spent ... all good things that i can take out of this image. I hope you can get them too... Have a good Journey ... ;)
