Ate hoje eu não entendia bem a necessidade de se ter um iPad... Agora sinto que não tem como viver sem ele.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais que um computador, iPad eh um estilo de vida diferente. liberdade de se conectar ao mundo independente de onde vc estiver. Assistir video do youtube, acessar Facebook e twitter, ler os jornais, perder horas e horas no Google Earth planejando a proxima viagem, ou procurando a sua casa ou casas onde vc ja morou ou lugares que vc já visitou.

Dois meses depois de muito silêncio, a Presidenta finalmente aparece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na verdade, a Presidenta estava fazendo uma revolução silenciosa e botando pilha nos Ministros.

The story of Success.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Bem, na verdade eu não li, eu escutei o Audiobook no caminho ao trabalho durante todos os dias nos últimos meses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para vocês não precisarem ler, ou melhor, para estimular vocês a lerem o livro, faço um resumo das idéias principais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1. Trabalho duro é a fonte do sucesso, &lt;strong&gt;MAS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;2. As pessoas bem-sucedidas foram também bastante sortudas, pois em alguma situação específica, elas estiveram no lugar certo na hora certa; &lt;strong&gt;E&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;3. A regra geral é que se você se dedicar à alguma coisa por 10,000 horas ou mais, você será bem sucedido. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Bem, se considerarmos que &lt;strong&gt;10,000 horas&lt;/strong&gt; = 1,250 dias ( com 8 horas de trabalho)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;considerarmos que &lt;strong&gt;1,250 dias&lt;/strong&gt; = 62.5 meses (com 20 dias de 8 horas de trabalho)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;E considerarmos que &lt;strong&gt;62.5 meses&lt;/strong&gt; = &lt;strong&gt;5 anos de trabalho&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Para ser bem sucedido em alguma coisa, você vai precisar de no mínimo 5 anos de trabalho. Essa regra parece funcionar para tudo que você fizer nessa vida.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bom, no mais, vai ler a porcaria do livro e me conta o que você achou dele.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-8791408398936142379?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/8791408398936142379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=8791408398936142379&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/8791408398936142379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/8791408398936142379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2010/11/outliers.html' title='Outliers'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/TO8Cu6UYrVI/AAAAAAAADSU/IijrFTtqBXo/s72-c/outliers_malcolm_gladwell.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-6076853840694141886</id><published>2010-11-23T19:49:00.013-05:00</published><updated>2010-11-23T20:35:11.894-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Compre perfume e se sinta um milionário</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Leitores do Blog,&lt;br /&gt;Hoje eu vou dar uma mega-dica para quem está precisando comprar perfume. Existe uma loja na internet, a &lt;a href="http://www.sepha.com.br/"&gt;Sepha Perfumaria&lt;/a&gt;, que tem todos os perfumes que você imaginar a um preço bem mais barato que no Shopping. Por exemplo, fui no Morumbi Shopping e olhei um perfume por 343 BRL... sabe quanto paguei pelo mesmo perfume na internet? 168 BRL. Isso representa mais de 50% de desconto sobre o valor da loja no shopping, ou 175 BRL a mais no bolso por 4 dias de espera.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Isso significa que eu tive uma economia (ou um "rendimento") de 43.75 BRL por dia de espera.&lt;br /&gt;Agora vamos extrapolar....&lt;br /&gt;43.75 BRL/dia x 30 dias = 1,312.50 / mês&lt;br /&gt;Considerando que a poupança rende 0.55% ao mês, isso significa que vc deveria ter investido 238,636.36 BRL para que ao final do mês você conseguisse um rendimento semelhante (os mesmos 43.75 BRL / dia).&lt;br /&gt;Em resumo, eu comprei um perfume mega-caro, por 50% do preço e ainda estou me sentindo um milionário.&lt;br /&gt;Alguém pode achar algum erro nessa minha lógica?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: O ser humano é capaz de justificar qualquer coisa !!!! Qualquer coisa!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;P.S.2: A dica na verdade foi da Nanda, mas eu estou passando para vocês! Eu tentei roubar o crédito, mas quando ela leu o post ela pediu para eu re-editar o post e incluir os créditos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;P.S.3: Enquanto eu digitava o PS2, a Nanda ficava sussurrando em meu ouvido: "- Você é isso mesmo!

Desde que cheguei em São Paulo, em Maio/2010 estava sem internet. Mas hoje o pessoal da NET veio e instalou para mim.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Agora estou de volta, mesmo que um pouco sem tempo por causa do trabalho. Que tem sido bastante cansativo nesses primeiros 6 meses. Muitas oportunidades pintando. Vou atualizando a todos sobre os planos do futuro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Em resumo, hoje moro no melhor bairro de São Paulo, talvez um dos melhores do mundo: CAMPO BELO.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;É um bairro verticalizado, arborizado e valorizado. Segundo o CRECI é uma zona de valor "A", mesma classificação de Moema, que fica aqui do lado. Possui amplo comércio na Rua Vieira de Moraes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tem uma padaria aqui do lado de casa que tem o melhor sanduíche do mundo (Americano) e tem uma outra padaria, essa chique pra caramba, que fica um pouco mais longe. Algumas dicas de coisas bacanas do bairro:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.atrigueira.com.br/"&gt;A Trigueira&lt;/a&gt; é a padaria mais bacana que eu já fui. Tem um sanduiche de churrasquinho com vinagrete que não tem como não experimentar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O &lt;a href="http://www.leonapizzabar.com.br/"&gt;Leona Pizza Bar&lt;/a&gt; é a melhor pizzaria de São Paulo. Tem todos os tipos de Pizza que vc imaginar e um Pé Direito de 30 metros de altura. Uma coisa absurda. Mas tem que pedir a Diavola (Linguiça calabresa picante  e moída).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tem também o Armazém 737 (esse não tem website por que é muito exclusivo), que é o açougue mais elegante do mundo. Aos sábados e Domingos tem churrasco feito na hora que vc compra no quilo (importante: não é caro!!!!) e leva com vinagrete e farofa para comer em casa. A fila quase dá volta no quarteirão, mas vale a pena.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Finalmente, fico aguardando a todos aqui em São Paulo. Todos podem ficar aqui em casa. Tem um sofá na sala de Televisão que é melhor que a minha cama.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-1333995875490622636?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/1333995875490622636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=1333995875490622636&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/1333995875490622636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/1333995875490622636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2010/11/re-conectado.html' title='Re-conectado'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-4827679427624226176</id><published>2010-08-22T12:18:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-12-15T19:49:21.352-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Graduation Photo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/THFONIkSSlI/AAAAAAAADR8/2v7mDYeWC_k/s1600/graduation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508269806795770450" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/THFONIkSSlI/AAAAAAAADR8/2v7mDYeWC_k/s400/graduation.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finalmente uma formatura digna para fechar com chave de ouro o ensinamento de uma vida inteira. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Valeu muito!

Um colchão de ar, uma mesa de plástico e duas cadeiras de plástico na sala e pronto. A cozinha tem o fogão, os armários, a geladeira. A área de serviço conta com uma lava/seca excelente, o aquecedor de gás e o tanque. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Continuo esperando a mudança chegar. Espero que no próximo sábado ela já esteje aí. Depois atualizo o blog, por enquanto, nem internet tenho.

Além de não me deixar tão inquieto quanto o café, um copo de chá no Starbucks ($1.94) é bem mais barato que um Frapuccino ($4.95). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Agora pra economizar mesmo, eu compro logo o pote com 30 sachês por $10.95 (que mesmo com imposto - 7.75%) ainda sai por menos de $0.40 por copo. Isso resulta em uma economia do caramba ao final do ano. Só para ter uma idéia da economia, suponhamos que eu tome 4 copos por semana durante um ano, ao invés de gastar &lt;b&gt;$1,029&lt;/b&gt; ($4.95 x 4 frapuccinos x 52 semanas = $1,029) eu gasto apenas &lt;b&gt;$82&lt;/b&gt; ($$0.3932 x 4 chás x 52 semanas): uma economia de $948 ou &lt;b&gt;92%&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas isso ainda não é suficiente para mim. Logo, resolvi olhar a receita do chá na internet e eu mesmo vou preparar.

Depois ao Dick´s Sporting Goods. Depois ao Cheesecake Factory. Putz... rodamos muito hoje. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Após tanta correria, jantamos aqui em casa mesmo.

Suponha que você é o dono do bandejão e serve gororoba todos os dias. Você quer maximizar o seu lucro, todavia, você precisa colocar uma quantidade mínima de nutrientes em cada prato servido (senão os seus clientes morrem de fome, literalmente).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Daí, você tem arroz, batata, frango, carne e feijão, cada um tendo um custo. Sabemos que precisamos de uma certa quantidade de cada um dos nutrientes (proteínas, carboidratos, gorduras, vitaminas e etc) e que cada um destes pratos tem uma quantidade de nutrientes que deve ser ingerida todo dia: chamaremos isso de restrições.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: justify;float: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px; " src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S8VkkU6akXI/AAAAAAAADPE/qlJP9d6djWk/s400/1horloge,clock,interior,design,mathematics,humour,math-a3f34260c071e3f6be34d1a0efc76aee_h.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459880698508382578" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Certamente existirão "infinitas" maneiras de se combinar esses componentes de modo a respeitar as restrições. Mas você, que é o &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;dono de restaurante, quer oferecer ao seus clientes a quantidade exata de nutrientes (para que eles não morram e possam voltar para comer a mesma gororoba amanhã) pelo mínimo custo, e é aí que entra a programação linear. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Com a aplicação de algum algoritmo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; de Programação Linear, você irá obter quanto de cada componente você deve colocar em um prato para ele ter seu custo mínimo (e assim você poderá lucrar mais).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Matemática pura, mas que ajuda a resolver um tanto de problema da vida real.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Estou ficando fã da matemática, daqui a pouco vou comprar um relógio igual esse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-4778519588766746073?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/4778519588766746073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=4778519588766746073&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/4778519588766746073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/4778519588766746073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2010/04/programacao-linear.html' title='Matemática na prática'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S8VkkU6akXI/AAAAAAAADPE/qlJP9d6djWk/s72-c/1horloge,clock,interior,design,mathematics,humour,math-a3f34260c071e3f6be34d1a0efc76aee_h.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-6938664741417089390</id><published>2010-04-11T18:09:00.018-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-12T03:17:16.026-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Isso que é investimento</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S8JMLpm-6wI/AAAAAAAADNU/JguzCOTX0cA/s1600/IBVSP+08-2010.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459009461358095106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S8JMLpm-6wI/AAAAAAAADNU/JguzCOTX0cA/s400/IBVSP+08-2010.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; No final de &lt;strong&gt;Maio de 2008, o IBOVESPA atingiu o seu ponto mais alto: 73,920&lt;/strong&gt; pontos. Depois veio a crise e todo mundo já sabe o que aconteceu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dois anos se passaram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Na semana passada, Abril de 2010, o IBOVESPA atingiu 71,417 pontos&lt;/strong&gt;. Ainda não recuperou o bastante, mas está chegando lá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do meu ponto de vista, enxergo da seguinte maneira:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nesses últimos 2 anos, um investidor que tivesse aplicado R$1,000 em Maio de 2008 no mercado brasileiro, teria, hoje, Abril de 2010, um pouquinho menos que R$ 966.14, ou seja, não teria feito um bom investimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vamos comparar esse investimento com o investimento que eu fiz nos últimos dois anos: o MBA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tudo bem que talvez seja um pouquinho difícil colocar um preço no conhecimento obtido (&lt;em&gt;apesar de acreditar que eh sim possivel colocar um numero nesse investimento, se eu tivesse um pouquinho mais de tempo&lt;/em&gt;). Mas, com certeza, todo o dinheiro que eu gastei durante esses 2 anos foi muito mais bem gasto que se eu tivesse investido na economia Brasileira (e melhor ainda que se eu tivesse investido na economia Americana). &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S8JOYtLes4I/AAAAAAAADNc/Ee58qKb4hOM/s1600/DJI+08-2010.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 261px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459011884678034306" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S8JOYtLes4I/AAAAAAAADNc/Ee58qKb4hOM/s320/DJI+08-2010.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas o ponto que eu quero fazer é o seguinte: Eu não poderia ter escolhido um tempo melhor para estar de volta na sala de aula.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Em resumo, enquanto a economia Brasileira não cresceu (e a economia Americana despencou sem ter se recuperado totalmente ainda). Eu estava numa bolha, afastado disso tudo, investindo no melhor investimento que tinha: a educação.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Às vezes, o melhor investimento pode não estar na Economia, mas sim, em você mesmo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(uau!

Apesar da lista ser imensa, resolvi registrar as principais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;primeira&lt;/b&gt; foi mudar de um estilo de vida completamente sedentário e sem exercício físico, para um com uma qualidade de vida fenomenal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;segunda&lt;/b&gt; foi mudar a rotina em relação à comida. Hoje como muito mais saudável que comia antes do MBA, o que levantou bastante a minha estamina (física e mental).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;terceira&lt;/b&gt;, e mais recente, foi desligar o som antes de dormir. Nada melhor que o silêncio e escuridão total no quarto para ter uma boa noite de sono. Até recentemente, não conseguia dormir sem ter a TV ou o rádio ligado. Fiz um esforço para mudar essa rotina e hoje tenho um sono muito melhor que antes. Acordo muito mais animado e descansado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Minha conclusão: Não é através de uma revolução que vamos conseguir corrigir os caminhos que percorremos, mas sim através de pequenas, ou melhor, através de mínimas mudanças que nos reorientamos de volta para o nosso objetivo principal: Ser feliz.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Então pense no que "Ser feliz" significa para você e comece a redirecionar o seu caminho nessa direção, se focando em um vício de cada vez.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Putz!

Preparei um delicioso omelete de clara de ovo, tomate e cebola e já cozinhei o almoço também. Ultimamente tenho cozinhado o almoço em casa e levado marmita para a b-school. Meu almoço consiste de: 4 repolinhos de bruxelas, 4-5 coroas pequenas de brócolis, 2 coroas de couve-flor, e 150 gramas de peito de frango (meio peito de frango, mais ou menos). De tarde tomo um iogurte e durante o dia inteiro, bebo chá.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Achei que fosse morrer de fome quando comecei nessa onda de comer natural, mas o inverso está acontecendo. Hoje em dia, eu tenho andado tão satisfeito de comida, que às vezes nem consigo comer tudo que cozinho. Impressionante!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bom, no mais, hoje recebi meu trabalho final para "Portfolio Management" (Gerenciamento de carteira de ações). O trabalho é enorme, mas bastante interessante. Vc tem um investidor de verdade (que tem alguns objetivos em relação a Retorno e Riscos) e vc precisa ajudá-lo a atingir o objetivo dele.

Quando eu estudava aqui, semanalmente ia lá para comer uma fatia da pizza de beringela. Isso mesmo! Eles fazem a melhor pizza de beringela do mundo. Isso foi em 2005, já levei até o Gegê para comer lá uma vez.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;5 anos se passaram e eu nunca mais comi... mas lembrava todo dia do gostinho, do cheiro e mais especialmente do sabor do molho de pimenta caseiro que eles oferecem no restaurante. Acho que eu continuando naquele meu estilão de gostar de algumas poucas coisas. A pizza de berigenla do Haymarket Pizza é uma dessas coisas...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O melhor de tudo é o preço (que por sinal continua o mesmo de 5 anos atrás: $1.75/fatia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Se você vier a Boston, pega a linha verde do metrô até a estação Haymarket e procure pela pizzaria.

Isso significa que algumas vezes você será competente, mas não sortudo – em outras palavras: A Vida não é justa – Aceite essa verdade e não se torne uma pessoa amarga por isso."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Adicionalmente, talvez não seja o caso de que você foi azarado, mas talvez você não é tão bom quanto você pensa que é. Então, tenha pessoas ao seu redor que possam te dar uma análise honesta em quem você realmente é." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Uma coisa que eu aprendi é que olhar o "big picture", ou conseguir a resposta "correta" não importa muito. Conseguir implementar uma idéia com a possibilidade de consertar os erros no caminho é bem mais importante para prever o sucesso de alguém. Em outras palavras, uma resposta "decente" mas executada de maneira correta é infinitamente melhor que a resposta "perfeita", executada de maneira medíocre. Assim, as "soft skills" necessárias para se implementar uma idéia são mais importantes do que as melhores técnicas analíticas." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Acredito não ser o primeiro a chegar nessa conclusão, mas eu me surpreendo como empresas e times colocam tanto peso na "estratégia" e tão pouco peso na "implementação"." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Meu conselho para os MBAs é o seguinte: Guarde seus cadernos da aula de "Leadership" e "Negotiations". Eu uso essas duas aulas muito mais que quaisquer outras". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Para aqueles que têm ou querem ter uma família, lembrem-se que momentos difíceis e decisões honram um ser humano. Não é fácil, mas vale a pena.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"O que eu queria saber quando terminei o MBA? Que eu não viria a usar nenhuma das lições da b-school até quando completei 10 anos de empresa." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Conselho para os "2nd year" MBA: Você precisa entender que você vai trocar de emprego várias vezes durante a sua futura carreira. Então, ao invés de se estressar em encontrar o emprego perfeito, lembre-se: Desde que você esteja fazendo alguma coisa interessante (e talvez diferente) do que você estava fazendo antes do MBA. Você está andando para frente." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Para os que estão se formando agora em 2010: Eu acredito que num Mercado complicado como o atual, apesar de ser mais difícil de se conseguir um emprego, a escarcez no mercado te faz pensar no que realmente é importante para você. Foque no que é importante em um futuro distante e escolha um caminho que o coloque naquela direção." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Viver uma vida luxuosa, mas cheio de dívidas não é tão legal&lt;br /&gt;ou relaxante quanto isso possa parecer para os que estão vendo de fora, mesmo&lt;br /&gt;que você esteja cheio de brinquedos. Assim, viva bem, mas em conformidade com a&lt;br /&gt;sua renda e tenha sempre em mente a melhor maneira para eliminar riscos em tudo&lt;br /&gt;que você faz."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;E o melhor de todos:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Execute perfeitamente! (Boas idéias não geram dinheiro se não foram implementadas. Por outro lado, idéias normais mas bem executadas geram dinheiro). Sendo assim, "resultados" são importantes, mas lembre-se que a maneira utilizada para se gerar aqueles resultados é tão importante quanto os resultados."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Fica dado o recado.

Para fazer uma ligação, você enfiava a fichinha num buraco e a mesma ficava presa em uma espécie de "limbo" dos telefones públicos. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Se a ligação não completasse, a fichinha voltava e você podia usa-la de novo. Se a ligação completasse, a "ficha caia" e você podia falar por 3 minutinhos. Isso mesmo, 3 minutos. Tempos bons aqueles. Hoje todo mundo tem cartão, celular, smart phone, etc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;A expressão "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cair a ficha&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" significa: Compreender. Você tem algumas idéias circulando na sua mente essas não fazem muito sentido (ou que não se comunicam). De repente,  acontece um &lt;em&gt;click&lt;/em&gt; e você passa a entender como aquelas duas idéias se conectam. Ou seja, você "completa a ligação". Daí a expressão "cair a ficha", ou seja, completar a ligação, comprender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 143px; display: block; height: 152px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433874558102543410" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S2kAHuW8HDI/AAAAAAAADH0/cevhUI0cj-I/s320/ficha.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-3316444880054080006?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/3316444880054080006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=3316444880054080006&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/3316444880054080006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/3316444880054080006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2010/02/expressoes-antigas-parte-1-cair-ficha.html' title='Expressões Antigas - Parte 1 - Cair a ficha'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S2kCHAYc4EI/AAAAAAAADH8/qLHAIOA6PKM/s72-c/telefone+publico.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-4602640688808194251</id><published>2010-02-02T22:51:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-02T23:09:23.665-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Loteria: Retorno no investimento é menor</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S2j2GknfccI/AAAAAAAADHs/L-fCY73OkAI/s1600-h/loteria+update.png"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 263px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433863543191466434" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S2j2GknfccI/AAAAAAAADHs/L-fCY73OkAI/s400/loteria+update.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Com base nos comentários dos nossos leitores, tivemos que fazer um "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;update&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" no post das loterias.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;("&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" = Errar: erramos.

Cada palpiteiro pode ter até 3 palpites em um determinado momento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Palpites podem ser alterados, mas se você alterar um palpite, o novo palpite fica valendo a partir da data de quando você mandou o comentário. (Ou seja, se alguém que você tinha como palpite for eliminado, você pode fazer um novo palpite, mas esse seu novo palpite vale a partir dessa nova data do novo palpite).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. O vencedor será aquele que adivinhar o nome do novo vencedor primeiro.

Espero que seja tão inspirador para vocês quanto foi para mim!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imigrantes. &lt;/strong&gt;Ele começou a palestra falando sobre os imigrantes mexicanos que se mudam para os EUA. Falou que esses são verdadeiros "heróis" que deixam suas vidas no México em busca do "American Dream" e que apesar de discriminados, estão destinados a, num futuro bem próximo, deixar de ser minoria e passar a ser maioria. Então, os Americanos deviam rever seus conceitos sobre eles e passarem a vê-los como parceiros e não como mão de obra barata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Um mundo em evolução.&lt;/strong&gt; A conversa então tomou um rumo mais econômico. O mundo está evoluindo. A alavancagem financeira que os EUA permitiu no período de 2001 a 2008 foi algo insustentável e a crise financeira determina um novo recomeço, para o povo Americano (ao invés de falar EUA, ele chamava os Estados Unidos de "&lt;em&gt;This Great Nation&lt;/em&gt;" = Essa Grande Nação). Mas esse novo recomeço será sem crescimento ou com crescimento negativo durante alguns anos. (&lt;em&gt;Ou seja, que a recessão vai durar algum tempo, ninguém tem dúvida, mas quando será que o EUA irá retomar o crescimento econômico: Ah! Isso pode demorar... alguns anos, ou melhor, décadas. Enquanto isso, os "países em desenvolvimento" ... estarão se desenvolvendo! É o início de uma nova Era! A Era do crescimento dos países emergentes! E lá vamos nós, os Brasileiros e o Brasil!&lt;/em&gt;). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S161VuW8wpI/AAAAAAAADG8/bkl5rPJbzhw/s1600-h/Vicente_Fox_na_unc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430977585481564818" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/S161VuW8wpI/AAAAAAAADG8/bkl5rPJbzhw/s320/Vicente_Fox_na_unc.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Integração da Índia e China e NAFTA. &lt;/strong&gt;Ele acabou de participar de um fórum econômico na Índia. As projeções são para que a renda per capita Indiana chegue a $20.000 em 2039. Isso seria devido, principalmente, à integração com parceiros regionais, mais especificamente, a China. Em contra partida, o NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) foi criado em 1994 para promover a integração entre EUA, Canadá e México, mas sem grandes resultados. O México é o grande parceiro comercial dos EUA (O México importa dos EUA um valor superior ao da Alemanha, Itália, Inglaterra e França juntos). Mas mesmo assim, o México não é visto nem tratado como parceiro. Outro exemplo foi a construção da fábrica da Jaguar na Índia, que demonstra que grandes empresas estão optando por outros mercados para se desenvolver, e os EUA não é um desses mercados.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Talentos da Business School estão voltando para suas origens.&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;em&gt;Agora o papo começa a ficar mais relevante.&lt;/em&gt;) Os EUA, apesar de ter as melhores &lt;em&gt;business schools &lt;/em&gt;e um sistema de ensino que está anos luz à frente de qualquer outro país, está começando a ver os talentos da &lt;em&gt;business school &lt;/em&gt;voltando para seus países de origem. (&lt;em&gt;NOTA: Alguma coisa me diz que meu pai está certo em querer que eu volte para o Brasil depois do MBA! - ou seja - eu estou assumindo que meu pai acha que eu sou um "Talento"&lt;/em&gt;). E que essa volta às origens é baseada em princípios econômicos: A pessoa vai para onde o crescimento econômico está acontecendo e essa escolha dos MBAs em regressar seria um indicador desse futuro crescimento econômico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;América Latina e crescimento econômico sustentável&lt;/strong&gt;. (&lt;em&gt;Essa foi a melhor parte do discurso.&lt;/em&gt;) A América Latina (o Brasil inclusive) acaba de sair de um período de governos autoritários e começa a experimentar o gostinho da liberdade e da democracia: uma coisa que o EUA já experimenta há 200 anos e que talvez tenha se esquecido do valor dessa liberdade. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liberdade = Inovação = Crescimento econômico.&lt;/strong&gt; O crescimento econômico é inevitável quando se combina a liberdade proporcionada por um governo democrático. Esse é o rumo da América Latina e uma alta taxa de crescimento econômico nesses países, não representa risco, mas sim um retorno ao nível de desenvolvimento que esses países deveriam estar, não fossem os governos autoritários.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A crise e seu impacto no México&lt;/strong&gt;. Em 2009 o PIB do México caiu em 7.5%. Para entender o porquê dessa recessão econômica, é necessário decompor os fatores que levaram a ess resultado. O presidente citou 4 motivos principais:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motivo 1: A Gripe suína e queda do turismo. &lt;/strong&gt;Tendo em vista o desenvolvimento de alguns casos de gripe suína no México, o turismo, que é uma grande indústria no México, sofreu bastante, uma vez que menos turistas optaram pelo México como destino para as férias.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motivo 2: Monopólio estatal em eletricidade.&lt;/strong&gt; O segundo motivo tem a ver com o controle estatal em outra indústria importante. A intervenção do Estado na economia sempre gera uma administração pior do que o que poderia ser feito em caráter privado. Ele falou ainda que o México tem bastante Petróleo, "&lt;em&gt;um presente que nos foi dado por Deus... ou pelo Demônio...&lt;/em&gt;", que não é explorado da melhor maneira, gerando ineficiências e perda de crescimento econômico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motivo 3. Dependência na indústria de automóveis americana.&lt;/strong&gt; O terceiro motivo seria a grande dependência da economia mexicana na indústria de automóveis americana, principalmente na GM e na Ford, que foram duas empresas que sofreram no ano de 2009.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motivo 4: Maior combate ao tráfico de drogas pelo governo Americano. &lt;/strong&gt;Ponto interessantíssimo. Devido a sua localização geográfica, o México é o canal de distribuição das drogas entre os fabricantes (Bolívia, Colômbia, Venezuela) e o maior mercado consumidor (EUA). Quando os EUA decidiram reforçar as fronteiras para evitar a entrada de drogas no país, essa droga em excesso começa a ser vendida (por um preço mais baixo) e portanto consumida no México, pelos Mexicanos. (Fica caro ter que transportar a droga de volta para os países de origens!). Esse crescimento de usuários de drogas no México impede o desenvolvimento econômico do país. Mas o Governo, sozinho, não tem condição de impedir o tráfico (nesse momento ele fez uma analogia ao consumo ilegal do álcool, quando o mesmo era proibido nos EUA. Impedir só resulta na marginalização, mas não acaba com o problema. Para realmente acabar com o problema, é necessário que alguém eduque essas pessoas para os mals que as drogas podem causar. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liderança e compaixão. &lt;/strong&gt;É nesse momento que a liderança se faz mais importante: Liderar é servir de inspiração para os outros. Liderar não é ser autoritário e impor que as pessoas mudem, mas é ter compaixão e servir de modelo para que outros tomem atitudes baseado no que eles vêem você fazer. Ao invés de se liderar pelo medo, deve se liderar pelo respeito e a melhor forma de se conseguir o respeito de alguém é pelo amor. (&lt;em&gt;Muito bonita e inspiradora essa parte do discurso&lt;/em&gt;). A compaixão é uma forma demonstrar esse amor. Compaixão significa: "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;compreender&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;o estado emocional de outrem&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;". É um desejo de aliviar o sofrimento de uma outra pessoa, bem como demonstrar uma especial gentileza com aqueles que sofrem. A compaixão se dá através de ações, na qual uma pessoa agindo com o espírito de compaixão busca ajudar aqueles pelos quais se compadece. (&lt;em&gt;Gostei muito dessa parte! Liderar = entender o estado emocional dos outros e aliviar o sofrimento alheio. Ou seja, você já parte do princípio que o outro está sofrendo, e se você ajudâ-lo a sofrer menos, ele vira seu fã e passa a te respeitar! Fenomenal!!!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Cada um pode ser líder de uma maneira diferente: Por exemplo, a mãe e o pai que inspiram o filho a ser alguma coisa na vida. O irmão que inspira o outro. O chefe que inspira o subordinado. E essa liderança é contagiante. Uma pessoa que aprende a ser líder através da compaixão (aliviando o sofrimento alheio), repetirá, da forma como lhe foi ensinada, outras pessoas a fazer o mesmo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Como vocês podem ver, o discurso foi bastante inspirador!

Comecei registrado em &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;8&lt;/span&gt; matérias, mas tive que sair de uma matéria de marketing, pois o horário acabou conflitando com uma outra matéria de finanças, que eu preferia fazer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A lista para esse trimestre é a seguinte:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quantitative Methods in Finance. &lt;/b&gt;Estatística avançada aplicada ao mercado de capitais.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Operations Strategy. &lt;/b&gt;O foco dessa matéria é entender como o sistema operacional de uma organização tem que suportar a estratégia do negócio.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Managing Business Turnarounds.&lt;/b&gt; Combinação de contabilidade com finanças aplicada a empresas que estão em situação financeira complicada. A matéria ensina como você deve olhar para o negócio de maneira a reverter situações que podem levar a empresa a falência.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Global Marketing. &lt;/b&gt;A matéria ensina como desenvolver uma estratégia para obter sucesso no mercado global. Dependendo do produto e do país, existem métodos diferentes para entrar um mercado. É necessário entender a receptividade de um mercado local, e não simplesmente adotar a mesma metodologia que funciona em outros países. Após a análise, pode-se até mesmo concluir que não se vale a pena entrar em certos mercados.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mergers &amp;amp; Acquisitions. &lt;/b&gt;Matéria excelente. Professor excelente. Fusões e Aquisições explica as razões pelas quais duas empresas se fundem (apesar de na maioria das vezes é, na verdade, uma empresa comprando a outra). O objetivo é entender quando adquirir uma empresa faz sentido e quando a aquisição está destinada ao fracasso.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sales. &lt;/b&gt;Um dos diferenciais do MBA na UNC Kenan-Flagler(É a única escola dos Top 20 que oferece a aula). A aula ensina como se criar uma força de vendas eficiente e que esteja alinhada com os objetivos da empresa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Power, Politics and Leadership. &lt;/b&gt;Como o próprio nome diz: Poder, Política e Liderança.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Marketing Analytics. &lt;/b&gt;(Tive que sair devido a um conflito com outra aula). A matéria ensina como se aplicar um conceito específico de estatística, Regressão, para se analisar informações do mercado. Como já estava fazendo uma aula de estatística, que está mais relacionada à finanças, decidi sair dessa. Apesar de ser uma ótima aula, não deu para continuar.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-2833420549559063350?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/2833420549559063350/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=2833420549559063350&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/2833420549559063350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/2833420549559063350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2010/01/leitura-que-nao-acaba-mais.html' title='Leitura que não acaba mais'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-7982066621138654650</id><published>2010-01-01T03:40:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-01T03:50:56.840-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Gráficos Inúteis - Parte VI</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#0000EE;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sz23GnNsStI/AAAAAAAADFY/vUMGHtmwji8/s1600-h/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+Senado+2.bmp"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Continuando nossa série: "&lt;i&gt;Gráficos inúteis&lt;/i&gt;", hoje é dia de falar de política.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O primeiro gráfico é algo que você sempre quis saber mas nunca teve tempo para pensar: "&lt;i&gt;O Lula ganhou a eleição de 2002 e 2006.

Os 3 métodos que fazem mais sentido depois de tanta pesquisa, são os seguintes:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Método da meditação. &lt;/b&gt;Feche os olhos, deixe sua mente viajar, quando um número aparecer, você marca esse número no volante.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Método Stevie Wonder.&lt;/b&gt; Pegue uma venda ou um tapa-olhos e comece a marcar o volante, (se você espiar estragará toda a dinâmica desse método). O princípio desse método é fazer o jogo sem contato visual com o talão de apostas. Nota: Um problema comum com esse método é que geralmente dá pane no leitor ótico da Casa Lotérica, gerando a anulação do jogo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Método das Pombas.&lt;/b&gt; Baseado no fato que as pombas comem qualquer coisa que você jogar no chão, pegue uma folha, escreva os números de 1 a 60 e embole em pedacinhos do tamanho de um grão de milho. Vá no parque municipal e jogue os papeizinhos no chão. Depois que as Pombas comerem os papeizinhos você tem duas opções: Joga nos números que elas bicaram ou joga nos números que elas vomitaram.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Encontrei em um &lt;a href="http://www.sigmasociety.com/artigos/jose_antonio_francisco_megasena.pdf"&gt;artigo na internet&lt;/a&gt; a melhor explicação para isso:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"&lt;i&gt;Em relação às estatísticas, a Matemática nos diz que um jogo como o da Mega-sena é regido por um processo que não tem “memória”. Isto significa que o resultado do evento anterior não exerce qualquer influência sobre o resultado do evento futuro&lt;/i&gt;."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="PT-BR" style="mso-ansi-language:PT-BR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mas mesmo assim, todo mundo (EU inclusive) fica analisando os resultados históricos, vendo os números que menos saíram (e apostando neles baseados na teoria da "tendência central" de que se um número saiu pouco, seria mais provável desse número sair no próximo sorteio) ou vendo os números que saíram mais (e apostando neles baseado na teoria de que se um número está saindo muito, tem um motivo que apesar de não se saber explicar, o motivo existe).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Então, querido leitor, se você quer realmente apostar o seu suado dinheirinho para "fazer uma fezinha", eu preparei um resumo dos jogos atualmente oferecidos pela Caixa Econômica Federal para guiar os seus "investimentos"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A resposta está na estatística. &lt;/b&gt;Se você quer uma dica que realmente tem suporte em fatos reais, continue lendo, usando a estatística dos jogos, vou provar cientificamente o seguinte:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Se você tem R$ 2 Reais, não jogue na Mega-Sena!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SznCYEK-UJI/AAAAAAAADEo/2BFi0P3QP5o/s1600-h/NOTA+2+REAIS.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SznCYEK-UJI/AAAAAAAADEo/2BFi0P3QP5o/s200/NOTA+2+REAIS.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420577345209520274" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 92px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Por quê? Porque é um péssimo investimento, mesmo considerando toda a probabilidade de ganhar o prêmio, conforme segue:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Usando a estatística para começar.Um conceito simples de estatística, quando nós estamos diantes de  variáveis aleatórias (como é o caso tanto da Mega-Sena quanto da Quina), é possível se calcular um "valor esperado", que nada mais é que a média do que os ganhadores recebem, ponderada pela probabilidade de alguém ser o ganhador. Ou seja, para a nossa análise, vamos considerar que &lt;i&gt;Valor Esperado = probabilidade de ganhar x prêmio médio se eu ganhar&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Vamos agora analisar as seguintes estratégias:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Estratégia 1: Jogar 1 jogo de 6 números na Mega-Sena,  (custo = R$2.00)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Estratégia 2: Jogar 1 jogo de 6 números na Quina,  (custo = R$2.00)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Clique na imagem para ampliar)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sz2V9u-8WaI/AAAAAAAADFA/ltNnpCWCvrw/s1600-h/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+Loteria+Retorno.bmp"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sz2V9u-8WaI/AAAAAAAADFA/ltNnpCWCvrw/s400/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+Loteria+Retorno.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421654414240536994" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Como assim? Por que eu estou usando o termo "&lt;i&gt;Retorno no Investimento&lt;/i&gt;"? Pelo seguinte:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;INVESTIMENTO é a aplicação de dinheiro com o objetivo de lucro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se: R$ 2.00 é dinheiro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se: Quem aposta em Loteria tem o objetivo de ganhar (lucrar).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Logo: Jogar na loteria é investir.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Um investimento com um retorno negativo! Mas ainda assim, um investimento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Então você agora deve estar se perguntando o seguinte: "&lt;i&gt;Por que cargas d´águas tanta gente  joga na mega-sena então?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;Boa Pergunta! Eu também me pergunto isso todo dia! A resposta que faz mais sentido para mim é a seguinte: Porque acreditamos que R$2 não é dinheiro. Ou seja, quando comparado com o prêmio de R$11 milhões (média de prêmios da mega-sena), R$2 não é NADA!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;Mas&lt;span&gt;  "esquecemos"&lt;/span&gt; de levar em consideração que assim como R$2 não é nada perto de R$11 milhões, a chance de acertar 1 jogo dentre os 50,063,860 jogos possíveis é, matematicamente, MENOS QUE NADA!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "&gt;Bom, de qualquer forma, sempre vai ter alguma força nos empurrando a "&lt;i&gt;fazer aquela fezinha&lt;/i&gt;" no final de semana.

Já estamos em Dezembro! Mais um ano termina! E em Janeiro... um novo Big Brother Brasil começa! Oba! Muitas confusões, fofocas, briga, traição, cobiça, gula, avareza, luxúria, ira, melancolia, preguiça, vaidade e orgulho&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É isso aí! Em um período de aproximadamente 80 dias, o Big Brother Brasil (BBB) consegue combinar todos os 7 pecados capitais. Excelente!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bom, mas aí você se pergunta: "&lt;i&gt;- Quais são as minhas chances de entrar no BBB?&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;AH-HA! Não precisa se preocupar. O nosso serviço de "&lt;i&gt;gráficos inúteis&lt;/i&gt;" analisou alguns dados das edições anteriores do BBB e chegamos a seguinte conclusão:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Se você se chama &lt;b&gt;A&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;na, Mariana ou Matheus e tem entre 26 e 27 anos&lt;/b&gt;, você tem uma probabilidade fora do normal de entrar no Big Brother!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Isso porquê quando analisamos a lista com informações dos 131 participantes das edições anteriores, concluímos que a idade média dos participantes é &lt;b&gt;26 anos e 8 meses&lt;/b&gt; e que uma maioria absurda dos participantes tem nomes (ou apelidos) que &lt;b&gt;começam com a&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;letra A ou M&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Agora você se pergunta. "&lt;i&gt;Puxa! Mas como o Manfredo conseguiu prever o nome dos participantes!&lt;/i&gt;" Essa foi moleza. Pesquisamos listas de "nomes da moda" para bebês que nasceram em 1982 e descobrimos que dentre os 16 nomes que estavam na moda há 27 anos atrás (1982) os únicos que começam com A ou M eram: Ana, Mariana e Matheus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bom, no mais, tirem as suas próprias conclusões através dos gráficos abaixo:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Clique nos gráficos para aumentar a imagem)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzRgVqUquiI/AAAAAAAADEg/ClHauJkalF8/s1600-h/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+BBB+Nome.bmp"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzRgVqUquiI/AAAAAAAADEg/ClHauJkalF8/s400/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+BBB+Nome.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419062176888044066" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 296px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzRgVe-DTKI/AAAAAAAADEY/FfhypvL4ypM/s1600-h/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+BBB+Idade.bmp" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzRgVe-DTKI/AAAAAAAADEY/FfhypvL4ypM/s400/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+BBB+Idade.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419062173840395426" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzRZz50IaZI/AAAAAAAADEQ/ifXNTWVLmRg/s1600-h/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+BBB+Nome.bmp"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-5104001474068242341?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/5104001474068242341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=5104001474068242341&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/5104001474068242341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/5104001474068242341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/12/graficos-inuteis-parte-v.html' title='Gráficos Inúteis - Parte V'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzRgVqUquiI/AAAAAAAADEg/ClHauJkalF8/s72-c/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+BBB+Nome.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-6354472066890176259</id><published>2009-12-24T13:41:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-24T18:23:23.140-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Gráficos Inúteis - Parte IV</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Atendendo a solicitação da Nanda (comment no post anterior), montamos um gráfico para analisar a média de público nos mais variados campeonatos de futebol.

Se você já teve essa dúvida, seus problemas acabaram. Com base em fontes quentíssimas (website da Infraero), eu organizei a informação e comparei o movimento diário de passageiros nos 25 maiores aerportos Brasileiros. Alguns dados interessantes:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;55,891 &lt;/b&gt;passageiros passam pelo Aeroporto de Guarulhos diariamente&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;93,350&lt;/b&gt; passageiros passam por aeroportos de São Paulo (Guarulhos e Congonhas) diariamente&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;De 1,000 para 14,218&lt;/b&gt; passageiros por dia. Esse foi o aumento do movimento em Confins depois da transferência dos vôos da Pampulha.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;60%&lt;/b&gt; dos passageiros se concentram em 6 aeroportos: Guarulhos (SP), Congonhas (SP), Galeão (RJ), Brasília (DF), Salvador (BA) e Confins (MG).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzNNWJOEPPI/AAAAAAAADDQ/HhBjmrOoZWM/s1600-h/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+AEROPORTOS.bmp" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzNNWJOEPPI/AAAAAAAADDQ/HhBjmrOoZWM/s400/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+AEROPORTOS.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418759819484216562" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-715342450994778286?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/715342450994778286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=715342450994778286&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/715342450994778286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/715342450994778286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/12/graficos-inuteis-parte-i.html' title='Gráficos Inúteis - Parte I'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SzNNWJOEPPI/AAAAAAAADDQ/HhBjmrOoZWM/s72-c/GRAFICO+INUTIL+-+AEROPORTOS.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-7732302399747310340</id><published>2009-12-19T23:44:00.018-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-20T12:07:26.005-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Livros: Gerenciando</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sy2r1-ViXzI/AAAAAAAADDA/KpF05rVdYOQ/s400/MANAGING.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 273px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417174870551322418" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hoje fui assistir &lt;a href="http://www.avatarfilme.com.br/"&gt;Avatar&lt;/a&gt; 3D, o novo filme de James Cameron (que também dirigiu Aliens, Titanic e Exterminador do Futuro). Os efeitos especiais são fantásticos e a história é legal, mas os efeitos especiais... esses sim... espetaculares.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bom, mas voltando ao assunto do post, o livro. Enquanto esperava para assistir o filme, resolvi entrar na Barnes &amp;amp; Noble e pegar um livro qualquer para passar o tempo. Escolhi esse porque tinha a capa legal... no final... fiquei muito feliz em ter escolhido esse livro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Em resumo, o autor (Henry Mintzberg) explica (ou tenta explicar) o que uma pessoa realmente faz quando está "&lt;i&gt;gerenciando&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Acho que ninguém nunca parou para pensar nisso, mas é um assunto bastante interessante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Você já se perguntou: "&lt;i&gt;Putz... aquele cara é gerente! Mas o que é que um gerente realmente faz?&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Para responder essa pergunta, ele segue a vida de 29 "&lt;i&gt;gerentes&lt;/i&gt;" (termo usado no sentido amplo, incluindo: CEOs, presidentes, diretores, gerentes e supervisores) e analisa o que de fato eles estão fazendo quando falam que estão gerenciando.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De acordo com o Mintzberg, todo mundo, de certa forma, &lt;i&gt;gerencia &lt;/i&gt;algo.  Seja o gerente da multi-nacional, o dono do próprio negócio, ou mesmo o desempregado (que gerencia seu tempo), alguns conceitos sempre vão estar presentes. Isso porque a todo momento, &lt;b&gt;tomamos decisões e influenciamos o rumo das coisas.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Vou tentar resumir os pontos principais do livro:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Gerenciar é "influenciar ações", ou melhor, é trabalhar para que "coisas" sejam feitas. E nesse "caminho" para chegar a um objetivo, você tem que tomar decisões, apagar os incêndios que vão aparecendo, e remover as barreiras que vão surgindo pelo caminho.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É principalmente estar preparado para o inesperado. E quando esse "inesperado" acontecer (e em 100% dos casos ele aparece), repensar e re-decidir que rumo tomar. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Isso tudo sem perder o rebolado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É planejar. É organizar. É liderar. É controlar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É estar no meio de uma reunião e descobrir que a máquina que ia fazer os produtos quebrou. E agora? Você liga para o chefe da manutenção. Mas ele informa que o pessoal está consertando outra máquina e te pergunta: "- &lt;i&gt;Qual das duas é mais importante? Qual você quer que eu conserte primeiro?&lt;/i&gt;" Mas antes que você responda, a secretária entra na sala e fala que sua mulher ligou e pediu para você ligar de volta (ela disse que é urgente). Você liga de volta? Nessa mesma hora, o presidente lhe chama na sala dele, ele está com o telefone na mão e pede para você entrar. Mas, antes de entrar... o cara que trabalha com você te pára no corredor e fala rapidinho: "&lt;i&gt;- Chefe! Sabe aquele trem! Pois é! Deu tudo errado! O cliente está na sala de reunião e quer saber se vamos conseguir cumprir o prazo. O que é que eu digo pra ele?&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E por aí vai... até que chega o final do dia e você pensa... "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Putz! Não fiz nada hoje!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;"... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas a verdade é que ... se não tivesse pedido a manutenção para consertar a Máquina 1 primeiro. Ou se não tivesse ligado de volta para a esposa para passar o número da apólice do seguro. Ou se não tivesse entrado na sala do presidente que só estava querendo lembrar o nome daquele diretor do concorrente. Ou se não tivesse sentado com o cliente para conseguir uma extensão no prazo, sem maiores problemas. &lt;b&gt;O mundo tinha parado! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aí você para e pensa de novo: "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Putz! Quanta coisa eu fiz!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É motivar. É criar times. É valorizar o cara que faz um trabalho bom. É explicar para o outro que não tem a mínima idéia de como fazer aquilo que você pediu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É treinar o pessoal para facilitar a vida deles, para que você, o gerente, consiga fazer o seu trabalho. E no mundo real, não dá para planejar a sequência das coisas, pois tudo aconteceao mesmo tempo. Tudo acontece agora!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sy3DnNSa8oI/AAAAAAAADDI/VMkhF8ZZPrk/s1600-h/Peteca.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sy3DnNSa8oI/AAAAAAAADDI/VMkhF8ZZPrk/s320/Peteca.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417201005145813634" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O gerente tem que estar preparado para... ser interrompido! Ou usando um palavra mais de MBA (para justificar os 2 anos nos &lt;i&gt;States&lt;/i&gt;), &lt;b&gt;multi-tasking&lt;/b&gt;(fazer várias coisas ao mesmo tempo) e tem que estar preparado para mudar de assunto de um minuto para o outro (incluindo mudar o humor, a língua e o tratamento com as pessoas).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Acho que a mensagem é a seguinte: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt; Gerenciar é não deixar a peteca cair!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Além disso, tem que saber o balanço de como delegar... pois... se não delega... não tem tempo pra fazer mais nada... se delega demais... acaba por não saber o que se está gerenciando. E como tudo na vida, a virtude está no equilíbrio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O livro é muito bom, espero que vocês tenham se interessado.

There are a thousand reasons for it, for example: Google (the search engine itself), Google Gmail, Orkut, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Chrome (my current web browser), among others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Google Apps have simply destroyed any possible competition in any of the fields they have entered. Most important: all these fancy apps are 100% free. How can that be? Well, I believe that this is the result of smart people working in smart ways. More specifically by using 2 main mechanisms:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) &lt;b&gt;Reviewing old business models. &lt;/b&gt;Google Ads to be more precise! Advertisement, that’s how Google is making its money. When you search on Google, you’ve probably noticed that there was a section called “Sponsored Links”. Every time you click on one of those links, Google charge a certain amount of money to the website for the click. When you go on a website you’ll notice advertising from Google too. Daily Common Sense has ads from Google. Same thing happens here, when you click, Google charge a certain amount of money to the website you clicked on and part of that money is given to the webmaster publishing the ads. This is called AdSense and is an enormous source of income for Google.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) &lt;b&gt;Viewing innovation as a process, and not as an outcome&lt;/b&gt;. All the Google apps mentioned above are not the end. Google has been able to continually improve its business by creating needs and serving this newly created needs with an app. Isn't that amazing! You innovate, create a need and fulfill it at the same time. This is what I call smart!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Google's most recent development (and boldest move) is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Google Chrome Operating System&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (or simply Chrome OS).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chrome OS. &lt;/b&gt;Today our computers use Microsoft's Windows or Apple's Leopard (for the geeks there's also Linux), which are called "&lt;i&gt;Operating Systems"&lt;/i&gt; (or OS).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;An Operating System is a program that performs the interface between the &lt;i&gt;applications &lt;/i&gt;(Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, Outlook, etc) and the &lt;i&gt;hardware&lt;/i&gt; (the actual physical computer). For example, let's say you decide to "save" a document in your Microsoft Word (application). Then, Windows (operating system) will convert that command into a language that will make your hard disk physically spin and physically register that information by burning the physical disk. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Enough with the nerdish information, I believe the smart guys at Google are better in explaining it anyways.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Watch the video below and get to know what Google Chrome OS really means.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0QRO3gKj3qw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0QRO3gKj3qw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-5419982508446341116?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/5419982508446341116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=5419982508446341116&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/5419982508446341116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/5419982508446341116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/11/google-chrome-os-and-why-it-makes-sense.html' title='Google Chrome OS... and why it makes sense'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-5760479915728070252</id><published>2009-11-18T10:23:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T08:45:29.525-05:00</updated><title type='text'>When you wish upon a star...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SwQSWWVkjjI/AAAAAAAAC-E/Gi5iN27Qbss/s1600/Brazil+Takes+OFF.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SwQSWWVkjjI/AAAAAAAAC-E/Gi5iN27Qbss/s400/Brazil+Takes+OFF.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405465627913915954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As I predicted earlier in this blog (when I discussed if it was time to go back to Brazil based on my analysis of Bradesco's Investment Funds), Brazil is living through  very promising times.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But do not take my word for it.

This is part of the MBA education! I call it Broaden my horizon!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Anyway, back to the story. So, suddenly, on minute 2:50, the girls that appeared on the documentary started singing a song that I could recognize the rythm, but I could not remember from where. I was thinking: "&lt;i&gt;I know this song, but not with these lyrics!&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My obvious next step was to search for the lyrics on google. After 3 seconds, I found out that it was actually a Russian Gipsy Song from 1930. Here is the video of the &lt;b&gt;Original 1930 Russian Version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; (fastforward to 1:46)&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LtzUvkmjlmw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LtzUvkmjlmw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I continued to deep digger into the subject for a while. I found out that the girls on the documentary were actually singing the Welsh version (Welsh ~ English) , which became famous on the voice of Mary Hopkin, and renamed to "Those were the days". But again, this is not the lyrics I remembered.

I arrived home on Thursday at 4pm and left this morning (Sunday) at 12pm. It was just incredible. The rain and awful weather made it easy to bear the task.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;So today, I was crazy for caffeine! I have a bunch of deliverables for next week and I needed to over-caffeinate myself to be able to finish all the work. So I spent the whole Sunday at the Starbucks by SouthPoint Mall.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;From a nerdish view, it was perfect. I did my write-up regarding the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games for the Business demographics class (which I loved because I could add a lot of graphics) and did my other write-up for Marketing Strategy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Markstrat Domination". &lt;/b&gt;So there's this Marketing Strategy simulation that we are playing which is called "Markstrat". It is software that allows 6 "fictional" companies to market its products in two "fictional" markets: Sonite and Vodite. Each company needs to take strategic decisions regarding its products in order to "&lt;i&gt;maximize shareholder value&lt;/i&gt;" (in other words, there's a Stock Price that you need to maximize". There are 5 key variables you can change: Price, Design, Marketing Budget, Sales force, Production Planning. It is an analytical intensive exercise (which I love) and gives the winner the bragging rights (and a H+ in the class). Anyway, my team is "TEAM U". The game will be played for 7 periods, take a look at the results so far:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SwCb1MbO6aI/AAAAAAAAC98/mP6h7G6S3t4/s1600-h/New+Picture+(1).bmp" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SwCb1MbO6aI/AAAAAAAAC98/mP6h7G6S3t4/s400/New+Picture+(1).bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404490891015416226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Click on the picture to see a higher definition graph).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Any doubts about who will be winner of this simulation?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let's see what Freddie says:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xdCrZfTkG1c&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xdCrZfTkG1c&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRASH TALK TIME: Matt D.&lt;/b&gt;, if you are reading this post, please leave a comment!

Or the webpage for your company (Imagine that! You spend all that marketing money trying to be different... and when you try to create your own blog (blogger and wordpress all look the same). Well... look no further!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.squarespace.com/"&gt;Squarespace&lt;/a&gt; is the future of web design. You can Blog. Build. Host. Design. Impress. With a feel clicks on the mouse. All you need is a good idea and a sketch of what you want to do with your website. Their software will take care of the difficult stuff for you. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Can you believe this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is like having your personal web designer at the tip of your fingers. But the good side is that you do not need to be discussing with those artsy type people trying to make things the way they think will work best. You will have control over it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I would go as far as making an analogy with Matrix. Remember when Neo (Keanu Reeves) needed to learn martial arts and they put a floppy disk in his head and 10 seconds later he was fighting like Bruce Lee. Well, the same is true here. But instead of a floppy disk, Squarespace is available on the web.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pricing is reasonable and a lot cheaper (and convenient) than hiring a webdesigner. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you are thinking of starting a blog, don't waste your time with blogger or wordpress, go straight to squarespace, make a better use of your time and, most importantly, impress. Check out a &lt;a href="http://www.squarespace.com/tour/"&gt;tour&lt;/a&gt; of what squarespace is.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;P.S.: I think that the logo stands for two S's (one overlapping the other), but I could be wrong.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fun Fact 1: &lt;/b&gt;The coolest thing about the company: The "double-digit" employees (meaning the first 99 employees - the term still applies although the company only has 26 employees as of today) play Wii Mario Kart everyday at work. Isn't this how "work" is supposed to be?

She wanted to do some back of the napkin calculations on the phone. I said "&lt;i&gt;Well, use &lt;b&gt;0.5% per month&lt;/b&gt;, this is the yield on a Fixed Income fund with Bradesco&lt;/i&gt;" (I knew because I had just invested some of my "Brazilian Reais" in Bradesco, 2 days prior to boarding back for my 2nd year of the MBA).  Right after that, I decided to double-check the information on &lt;a href="https://wwwss.shopinvest.com.br/infofundos/fundos/TabelaRentabilidade.do?cdSgmtoProdt=1"&gt;Bradesco's website&lt;/a&gt; and also take a look at other investment opportunities available at the Bank. I knew they had some other funds, and I realized I haven't been tracking the yields since the 2008 crisis. I then decided to take a look at the 2009 cumulative yields in all the 40 funds administered by the Bank. Below is a graph of the info available at the Bank website. (I love graphs! Although I am a numbers guy, I cannot resist graphing everything!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrSIeNdolHI/AAAAAAAAC9E/OAfvLAaLcJA/s1600-h/bradesco+02.GIF"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrSIeNdolHI/AAAAAAAAC9E/OAfvLAaLcJA/s400/bradesco+02.GIF" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383077507205993586" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;red bars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are funds related to the FX rate between Brazilian Real and US Dollar. Not surprisingly, in the first 8 months of 2009 they had a negative return of -20%. (&lt;i&gt;On January 1st, 2009, it cost BRL 2.34 to buy USD 1. Today, it only costs BRL 1.81, which means that the Brazilian Real has become increasingly stronger throughout 2009&lt;/i&gt;). Therefore, investors that bet on the US dollar, lost 20% in this period.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrSHJJppvCI/AAAAAAAAC88/51fjaQTB2qE/s1600-h/Bradesco.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;orange&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#33FF33;"&gt;light green&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#993399;"&gt;purple&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; bars represent Fixed Income funds, which have a cummulative yield, in the first 8 months of 2009, on the range from 5% to 8%, which is a result of the 0.5%/month yield.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#33CC00;"&gt;dark green&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;dark blue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFFF00;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;yellow&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; bars are actually what draw my attention after analyzing this data. These funds are different combination of stocks in different buckets, such as: IBOVESPA (the Brazilian Stock Exchange index, similar to the Dow Jones Index in the NYSE), infra-structure, multi-sector, corporate governance companies, sustainable companies, etc. Some of these funds (e.g. the Corporate Governance one) have a cummulative yield of 57.6% during the first 8 months of 2009. This represents an average yield of &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;5.85% per month&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, in other words, almost 12 times higher than the Fixed Income funds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's true that these stock funds have a high volatility (not even comparable to the Fixed Income), but during 2009, negative yields were observed only on February and June, as we can see on the graph below:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrSN_Do75SI/AAAAAAAAC9M/MWzN-gtGo8Y/s1600-h/New+Picture.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrSN_Do75SI/AAAAAAAAC9M/MWzN-gtGo8Y/s400/New+Picture.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383083569062864162" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, for the investors that had the money to invest in Brazilian stocks back in January (and the guts to do so, right after the 2008 Stock Markets crash), Congrats! For me, I do not regret because my investing funds (the money I am willing to play around - and to lose - in investing) were frozen in a FGTS account, so there was nothing I could do. I hate this... but it is what it is! (I know this is a cliché, but I still love it: &lt;i&gt;It is, what it is!&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ACHTUNG: Please do not read this post and say: OMG! I should put all my money in Brazilian Stock! Do not be stupid! Always remember what Daddy told you: "&lt;i&gt;Buy Low, sell High!&lt;/i&gt;". It seems that the market will stabilize and become &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYn0bMQr9jg"&gt;Rocksteady&lt;/a&gt;. (I had to post the music video! LOL!). Therefore, there's no free lunch at the table.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What I want to say with all this analysis (and graphs, and numbers, and useless paragraphs, and music video) is that it seems to me that maybe (and just maybe) Brazil was better prepared to deal with the recession than I originally thought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Maybe, the time has come for Manfredo to go back to Brazil!

The plot on this one, brings a girl who is a big snob, will suffer a car accident, and will start to look at life from a different angle. Additional characters will cover "drunkorexia" (alcoholism associated with anorexia), racism, social differences, etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Maneco, the author, always have Rio de Janeiro as the location, more specifically, the Leblon neighborhood (which was named after a French plantation owner, "&lt;i&gt;Le Blonde&lt;/i&gt;" that lived in the region centuries ago). The neighborhood is very much like "&lt;i&gt;Ipanema&lt;/i&gt;" but even more exclusive. It is the home of very rich, affluent and famous people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The neighborhood has the highest Land prices in Brazil and Latin America.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the future, when I live in Rio, you surely will know where to find me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrA6keY9EbI/AAAAAAAAC8M/EfR2bpQscSE/s1600-h/leblon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrA6keY9EbI/AAAAAAAAC8M/EfR2bpQscSE/s400/leblon.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381865953015173554" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 303px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrA28jhZ2JI/AAAAAAAAC8E/qa8o3bcgvfE/s1600-h/viver_a_vida.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrA28jhZ2JI/AAAAAAAAC8E/qa8o3bcgvfE/s1600-h/viver_a_vida.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrA28jhZ2JI/AAAAAAAAC8E/qa8o3bcgvfE/s1600-h/viver_a_vida.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-7421862484749864226?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/7421862484749864226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=7421862484749864226&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/7421862484749864226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/7421862484749864226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/09/to-live-life.html' title='To live the life!'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SrA28jhZ2JI/AAAAAAAAC8E/qa8o3bcgvfE/s72-c/viver_a_vida.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-4176510159352688552</id><published>2009-09-14T16:12:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T16:30:14.411-04:00</updated><title type='text'>You say downsizing...

Lilly expects its work force to decline to 35,000 by the end of 2011 from 40,500 today and 46,000 at its peak in 2004.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;line-height: 14.4pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Between 2010 and 2013, drugs accounting for more than half of Lilly's current revenue will become exposed to generic competition as U.S. patents expire on four of its five top-selling products, including the blockbuster antipsychotic medication Zyprexa. Sales of those drugs -- nearly $11 billion last year -- could decline by as much as 80%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;line-height: 14.4pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;While rival drug makers, including &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&amp;amp;symbol=pfe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#093D72;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Pfizer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; Inc. and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djn&amp;amp;symbol=mrk" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#093D72;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Merck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; &amp;amp; Co., have engineered large-scale acquisitions to address their challenges, Lilly Chief Executive John Lechleiter hs pledged not to make a large deal, preferring smaller purchases instead to beef up Lilly's drug pipeline.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;line-height: 14.4pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;"We believe these actions are consistent with our goal to ensure the company is well-positioned during the challenging period we have ahead and positioned to grow out of that period with a sustainable flow of innovation," Mr. Lechleiter said in an interview Monday. He said large-scale combinations "provide short-term relief but don't fundamentally address the issue of innovation and how to make pipelines more productive."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;line-height: 14.4pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Lilly also reiterated its previous earnings forecast for 2009, a range of $4.14 to $4.24 a share.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;line-height: 14.4pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The sizable employee layoffs contrast with the more incremental job cuts Lilly has made in the past, including a recent offer of voluntary buyouts to its U.S. sales representatives that were expected to eliminate a few hundred workers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;line-height: 14.4pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The company will now reorganize its operating structure to have five global business units: oncology, diabetes, established markets, emerging markets and the Elanco animal-health unit.

Get Creative!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I was waiting for today for so long, September 09, 2009... or: 09/09/09. This will only happen again 1,000 years from now. Think about it! Think about an unique date!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now to the relevant stuff.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One of my classes in my MBA journey is called "Applied Improv for Communication". In a nutshell, we have a professional Improv Actor, giving us insights on how Improv can be used in order to improve your business skills, or, improving through improv!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This week's homework was a reading from his Improv Company: Transactors Co. (BTW, I love their motto: "&lt;i&gt;If you laugh, we're making comedy. If you don't we're making drama&lt;/i&gt;".)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The reading talks about how creativity is a &lt;i&gt;process&lt;/i&gt;. That explains a lot! I always thought I wasn't creative enough (although when I was a kid I thought I was very creative). But I never took this creativity to the next step, I never really saw it as a process, but I thought "I might have lost it along the way to adulthood, probably in some Law School or Finance class". But no, I did not lose it. I only did not invest enough time on it. I did not practice it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But there's still hope. I just need to concentrate on it and practice it. Quoting the author:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"I also believe that there aren't "creative" and "uncreative" people, just people  who create and people who don't".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So get out there!

The flight should take another hour, and I am already bored. I am listening to music and watching the weather outside. While doing all that, I realized that maybe I could make a better use of my time by creating a new strategy for my blog. I want to reach even more people through the blog, so I’ve decided to put together some key actions that will help me achieve this. In order to leverage on my newly acquired consulting skills, I have even given a consulting name for this initiative: &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;5 Bee’s Blog Strategy&lt;/b&gt; (I love to create names for strategies and I love to create frameworks to summarize ideas. This is a very consulting-oriented view of the world. I hate it… but I love it!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999900;"&gt;Be English.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; English will be the main language of the blog, I understand that my mom will be pissed that she can’t understand anything, so from time to time, I will post write a post in Portuguese, so that she does not stop reading it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999900;"&gt;Be funny. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The main idea is the newly created “Top 10 Lists of pictures”. I have just had this idea inside the bathroom of the airplane. I thought that it would be extremely interesting to have a list of Top 10 lists that are ridiculously funny. So the first will be “Top 10 places less likely for people to take pictures”. Based on where I had the idea, you can already guess where the first picture of this list has been taken, right?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999900;"&gt;Be inclusive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt; &lt;/b&gt;I have come to realize that the blog has a lot of pictures from myself, but not from my friends. So starting today, the spotlights will be shifted to capture the people that surround me. If you are hanging out with me (or has hung out with me in the past, you are very likely to appear on this page). Also, I will try to start new initiatives to include the reader on the blog (mainly by using the comments feature, and also by using the polls and other widgets).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999900;"&gt;Be myself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt; &lt;/b&gt;I have re-read some of the posts and I feel that sometimes I am not really typing as I speak. I want this blog to be exactly like I am. In other words, I want it to be “as if” you were listening to me speaking LIVE in front of you. So I will aggregate expressions that I use on my spoken speech.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#999900;"&gt;Be real. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In order to accomplish this item, I will start to include the transcription of real world conversations. Also, I will try not to pose for the camera, I will start to take pictures of whatever is happening in the real world, without having people preparing for the cameras. I think this will result in extremely funny pictures.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;Now, let’s completely shift the subject of this post to something more exciting: P90X. Me and my compulsive-addictive mindset cannot wait to get to the hotel room and do the “Ab Ripper X” DVD. I think this is due to the fact that I’ve been feeling extremely well after doing it for the first time. I am really serious about this Xtreme form of exercise and looking forward to see what happens after 90 days.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;The plane is now getting ready for landing, and I wanted to propose the following.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;I want you to suggest (using the comments on this blog) places for me to go in Chicago, NYC, Belo Horizonte, Sao Paulo. (Please suggest places that are feasible, or touristic). If you suggest a place and I end up going there, I will commit to post a picture of the place, with a big caption saying “Suggested by…”. Go ahead, recommend as many places as you would like and your name might end up as part of the blog. This is the blog already starting to implement the new strategy (Be inclusive!).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;Ears are starting to pop due to the plane lowering altitude, so I think it is time to end this post.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;See you when I see you!

(You know how they say that if you are trying to quit you should not drink and be close to smokers). Well, I have being hanging out drinking with smokers by my side, and I did not feel like smoking. So I think this is a good sign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;But since I quit smoking, I've gained a couple extra pounds (I'm serious about the "couple"... sometimes people become extremely fat and they use this same sentence, but in my case it is true... just a "couple"). Which I do not regret at all, once these pounds were put on by eating delicious food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;But I cannot let this vicious process continue, therefore, I've committed myself to a 90-days program, which I shall start at 21.AUG and finish by 19.NOV (according to the spreadsheet that I downloaded from the internet to keep track of my progress with the P90X program).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;P90X or Power 90 Extreme is a home exercise system developed by Tony Horton. It's a 90-day workout routine that uses a technique called "muscle confusion," a technique that prevents exercise plateauing by varying exercises over days and weeks such that the body has difficulty adapting. The system includes strength training, cardio, and stretching. Notably, in addition to pull-up and push-up emphasizing workouts, the system also stresses overall body fitness by including plyometrics (jump training), yoga, and kenpo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;I've watched the guys that runs the program (Tony Horton) and he is hilarious. He is extremely motivating and funny during the workouts which results in a higher compliance by the people that decide to follow this exercise program. Take a look at this &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS2cdwvoNfA&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; when he is talking about one of the DVDs (a 15 minute abs DVD called "AB Ripper X"). I have abdominal pain from laughing when he says: "BRING IT! AB ripper X, I hate it... but I love it."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SnThWdUn_KI/AAAAAAAAC6U/hGSnTmS-L0k/s1600-h/p90x1.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SnThWdUn_KI/AAAAAAAAC6U/hGSnTmS-L0k/s400/p90x1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365160832049609890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will definitely post the results here on the blog (including the interim ones).

Bom mas confesso que ficava preocupado com o assunto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Assim como me preocupo com que fim levou:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;o chocolate Surpresa (Aquele que vinha com uma figura de animal numa cartolina atrás do chocolate);&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;o Mirabel (que trocou a embalagem em 1991 e ficou 1 milhão de vezes mais fácil de dar porrada para amassar até virar farinha e "beber" a farinha ao invês de comer o biscoito - comer o biscoito da forma que ele vinha era coisa de "babaca" - alguém usou esse termo comigo hoje!) - Eu ficava amassando o meu Mirabel da hora que entrava no Escolar (7:00am) até a hora do recreio (9:50), ou seja, 3 horas enrolando pra comer aquela farinha no recreio - ai ai ai;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;o mini-formula 1 (vale sempre lembrar que o Dudu tinha um! E a Virgininha tinha um mini-bugie e a gente apostava corrida no sítio de Esmeraldas.);&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;os ioiôs da Coca-cola (principalmente o preto com escrito dourado -Eu acho que esse eu vi uma vez na Escola Santo Tomáz de Aquino - esse era só para profissionais);&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;o pense-bem e outros brinquedinhos super-tecnológicos da TEC TOY (lembro até hoje da logomarca da tec toy - amarela e laranja com escrito 3d. O Adolfo tinha um Pense-bem, ficou tão animado que trabalhou numa empresa de computação... dando aula de computador... putz.... qual o nome da empresa que ele trabalhava mesmo! Eu lembro que fiz dois cursos nessa empresa: um foi de MS-DOS e ou outro foi Windows 3.0 - aquele que veio antes do Windows 95). Dei um google e acabei encontrando que a empresa (A que fez o Pense Bem - não a que o Adolfo trabalhou - que por sinal é brasileira e foi criada em 1987) existe até hoje.

Mais uma vez, olha eu viajando na batatinha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Bom, voltando ao assunto do post, eu achava que o advento da internet fosse completamente aniquilar o uso do referido instrumento postal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Mas hoje descobri que isso não é verdade. Não se depender de um projeto super-bacana que encontrei hoje na internet: o &lt;a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/"&gt;Postcrossing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sm2gIvH_ZII/AAAAAAAAC6M/GJiqG3TN_ko/s1600-h/postcross.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sm2gIvH_ZII/AAAAAAAAC6M/GJiqG3TN_ko/s400/postcross.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363118803217507458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A idéia é a seguinte: Você se cadastra no site e coloca o seu nome, endereço físico e endereço de e-mail (você também cria seu perfil no site e coloca sua foto). Depois, você começa a trocar cartões postais com pessoas que você não conhece. Funciona assim:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1. Você pode pedir até 5 endereços simultâneos no site. O site vai rodar um programinha e vai te passar a informação de 5 usuários diferentes (incluindo o endereço físico daquela pessoa), além disso o site também cria um número de único para aquele postcard (um número de série do tipo: US-464106, US 464110, etc).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2. Com a informação do usuário, você compra um cartão postal (de verdade) e manda esse postal para o endereço que o site indicou. (Não se esqueça de incluir no cartão postal o número de série gerado pelo site (e.g. US-464106).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3. Quando a outra pessoa receber o cartão postal, ela entra no site e digita que o cartão foi recebido (por isso ela precisa do número de série).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4. Quando o cartão for registrado como recebido, o site te autoriza a mandar outro cartão.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;5. Você pode ter um total de 5 cartões viajando pelo mundo a qualquer instante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;6. Você também pode tirar uma foto do cartão postal que vc enviou (ou recebeu) e postar no site.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Eu já escolhi logo para mandar 5 cartões. O site sorteou pessoas nos seguintes países:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;China, Argentina, Finlândia, Alemanha e Rússia. Vou ver se mando os postais amanhã... Quando receber algum posto aqui no site.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bom, de qualquer forma, achei a idéia interessantíssima. Por que vc não se cadastra no site também? Tá esperando o quê? Vamos ressuscitar o uso dos cartões postais!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Afinal, quem não gostaria de abrir a caixa de correios e receber a seguinte foto (em baixíssima qualidade, toda amassada, mandada por alguém que você nunca viu na vida e provavelmente nunca vai encontrar!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sm012hK01NI/AAAAAAAAC58/z9Uw9uuNVTo/s1600-h/Cristo+Redentor2.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 307px; " src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sm012hK01NI/AAAAAAAAC58/z9Uw9uuNVTo/s400/Cristo+Redentor2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363001942001112274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-3874718919192563760?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/3874718919192563760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=3874718919192563760&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/3874718919192563760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/3874718919192563760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/07/postcrossing-entrando-no-mundo-dos.html' title='Postcrossing - Entrando no mundo dos Cartões Postais'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sm07MLSz7HI/AAAAAAAAC6E/elUS11YQUXw/s72-c/teste.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-4901616057078529190</id><published>2009-07-26T09:56:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-26T10:11:06.927-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dilbert and his take on MBAs (6 consecutive days)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I was updating myself on dilbert cartoons the other day, and I found out that between May 18-23, 2009, he had a special week dedicated to MBA's.

Do dia em que dirigi 10 horas para chegar em Indianápolis. Da minha primeira apresentação sobre estratégia competitiva. Da minha segunda apresentação. Da Indy 500. Do Hélio Castroneves vencendo a Indy 2009. Do show do Coldplay em Indy. Do show do No Doubt em Indy. Do show do Seinfield em Indy. Desse final de semana que passei preparando a apresentação final para o summer job. Da notícia do acidente do Felipe Massa hoje e de ver o vídeo com o apresentador explicando e quando eu noto, o apresentador da Globo era o Thiago. Do "chicken curry" que acabei de comer!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Realmente. Acabo de comprovar que relembrar é reviver mesmo. À medida que eu me lembrava de cada frase que coloquei no parágrafo anterior, outra lembrança me vinha na cabeça. Depois outra. Depois outra. Me lembro de como me senti em cada um desses pequenos momentos que fizeram parte desses quase 4 anos de vida. E agora, estou começando mais um novo ano de estudos e com certeza mais milhares de experiências vão acontecer e de algumas eu vou me lembrar e vão acabar sendo a continuação dessa lista de lembranças que eu coloquei no parágrafo anterior.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Agora vou recomendar a você que está lendo, fazer a mesma coisa. Senta na frente do computador, abre um documento novo do Microsoft Word e começa a digitar tudo que vier na sua cabeça. Tenta ir colocando mais ou menos na ordem que você se lembra de cada acontecimento. É impressionante como você vai começar a se lembrar dos detalhes, dos cheiros, do que você sentiu quando fez isto ou aquilo. Do gostinho da comida que você comeu naquele dia. Do cansaço que você sentiu naquela sexta-feira à noite. De como você estava feliz quando encontrou aquelas pessoas que você não via há dias, meses, anos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Aqui nos Estados Unidos é muito comum que as pessoas escrevam no final do ano uma carta destinada aos amigos. Eles chamam de "Christmas' letter to friends" (Carta de natal para os amigos). É uma idéia muito legal, você conta o que aconteceu com a família, quem teve filho, quem se formou, como foi sua promoção no emprego, etc. Vou ver se começo esse ano a fazer uma cartinha dessas. Se vocês quiserem fazer uma contando tudo que aconteceu no ano com você me manda que eu terei o maior prazer em ler, para saber das fofocas todas. Para pegar idéias, digita "Christmas letter Family..." no google e surfe pelas que aparecer. Geralmente é uma folha com fotos e resumo dos membros da família. Muito bacana!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Viajei agora, sai completamente do tema do post (Tô parecendo alguém que eu conheço, que começa a conversar e vai entrando nos detalhes, e mais detalhes e depois nem sabe sobre o que estava falando).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Bom, então é isso: Essa é minha última semana no summer job. Semana que vem tenho um roteiro interessantíssimo. Preste bastante atenção de por onde vou passar pelo meu "Tour Summer 2009", do dia 01 ao dia 19 de agosto. Inacreditável.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Indianapolis, IN -&gt; Chapel Hill, NC -&gt; Chicago, IL -&gt; New York City, NY -&gt; Miami, FL -&gt; Belo Horizonte, MG -&gt; Nova Lima, MG (Interior de Minas, hahaha) -&gt; São Paulo, SP -&gt; Belo Horizonte, MG -&gt; Miami, FL -&gt; New York City, NY -&gt; Chapel Hill, NC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Se você estiver em qualquer dessas cidades nesses dias, me avisa e vamos nos encontrar!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Smv2-z-WHoI/AAAAAAAAC4o/IG6t27G3aWM/s1600-h/1000+PICTURES.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 178px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Smv2-z-WHoI/AAAAAAAAC4o/IG6t27G3aWM/s400/1000+PICTURES.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362651340278734466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-8828138086382146270?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/8828138086382146270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=8828138086382146270&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/8828138086382146270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/8828138086382146270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/07/entrando-na-reta-final.html' title='Entrando na reta final do MBA - I did it my way!'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Smv2-z-WHoI/AAAAAAAAC4o/IG6t27G3aWM/s72-c/1000+PICTURES.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-1282994758416561046</id><published>2009-07-16T20:30:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-16T20:45:00.673-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Ladies and Gents... meet John!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is the highest ranking executive in a company whose main responsibilities include developing and implementing high-level strategies, making major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of a company, and acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors and the corporate operations. The CEO will often have a position on the board, and in some cases is even the chair. One of the primary duties of the CEO is to report to the board of directors, which is answerable to the owners of the company. In addition, CEO carries out the job of designating other managerial officers including that of a president. Depending on the extent of his or her functions, a CEO can also have the title of President/CEO or President and CEO. A CEO is not only a key management figure, but also the face of any business establishment. Therefore CEO’s career record and professional background often represent an important qualitative parameter of the overall value of the company&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sl_HZeOYb1I/AAAAAAAAC24/PUetYfpx2Xw/s1600-h/IMG_0148+-+Copy.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sl_HZeOYb1I/AAAAAAAAC24/PUetYfpx2Xw/s400/IMG_0148+-+Copy.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359221322018221906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440141867844878377-1282994758416561046?l=thibau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/feeds/1282994758416561046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1440141867844878377&amp;postID=1282994758416561046&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/1282994758416561046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1440141867844878377/posts/default/1282994758416561046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thibau.blogspot.com/2009/07/ladies-and-gents-meet-john.html' title='Ladies and Gents... meet John!'/><author><name>Manfredo Thibau</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/SPlyNnAJT0I/AAAAAAAAB-M/RcTd6FpGa2A/S220/Copy+of+New+Picture+(1).bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KvIdAfV_YWA/Sl_HZeOYb1I/AAAAAAAAC24/PUetYfpx2Xw/s72-c/IMG_0148+-+Copy.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440141867844878377.post-5469951000459641688</id><published>2009-07-12T13:48:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-12T14:03:46.887-04:00</updated><title type='text'>No Doubt e Seinfeld</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Olá leitores do Blog,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Mais um domingo de sol em Indy. Esse final de semana foi super bacana. fui no show do No Doubt na sexta e no show do Seinfeld no Sábado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;O show do No doubt foi muito bom. Eles tocaram os sucessos do passado e o show foi muito animado. Tinham 25,000 pessoas (comparado com as 18,000 pessoas do show do Coldplay). O Verizon Center em Noblesville estava super-lotado e fiquei espremido no meio de tanta gente. Agora as duas músicas que eu mais gostei foram duas que eu não conhecia ainda, apesar delas serem antigas: "&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8JjYpklCm4"&gt;Bathwater&lt;/a&gt;" e "&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBUWEvm8Dzs"&gt;Rocksteady&lt;/a&gt;". Valeu muito a pena, já coloquei as duas músicas no meu iPhone e estou escutando direto&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;O show do Seinfeld foi excepcional também. Tinha umas 1,500 pessoas no Murat Center aqui em Indy. Foi 1 1/2 horas de muito sarcasmo sobre a vida cotidiana. Não parava de rir com as piadas, o cara está mais velho e ainda mais engraçado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

type='text'>Sem assunto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;São 11:56pm de um sábado à noite e eu estou aqui trancado dentro do apartamento, esperando o PlayStation 3 fazer o download do Metal Gear Online (MGO). O MGO permite até 16 usuários jogarem online (através da internet) e se comunicar através de um headphone bluetooth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;A coisa mais chata do mundo no PS3 é que pra tudo você tem que fazer um download antes de jogar. É um porre! Tava eu lá todo preparado para jogar e descubro que preciso fazer um download que provavelmente vai demorar a noite inteirinha. PQP! Que balde de água fria no meu sábado à noite. Achei que ia passar o sábado lutando contra os poderes do mal no PS3 e quando vejo, estou aqui olhando pra televisão esperando o joguinho baixar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;A boa notícia, é que eu posso atualizar o blog. Então deixa eu contar do meu estágio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Acabei de terminar a sexta semana (do total de 12 semanas), estou trabalhando num departamento muito bacana e estou gostando do trabalho. Na quinta-feira passada saí para almoçar com o Rodrigo e com a Alessandra (dois brasileiros que estão trabalhando aqui em Indianápolis. ( &lt;a href="http://www.terra.com.br/istoedinheiro/edicoes/556/artigo89690-1.htm"&gt;Clique aqui&lt;/a&gt; para ver uma matéria na istoé dinheiro com os dois). Eles estavam no Brasil antes e mandaram super bem e foram tranferidos para a sede da empresa. Os dois são super cabeça no lugar e extremamente gente boa(s). (Será que existe plural pra gente-boa?). A gente foi no Weber Grill, e eu acabei pedindo um "Wisconsin Burger" super nervoso, com batatinha frita, applewood smoked bacon, queijo cheddar, hamburguer, molho especial, cebola e picles, num pão com gergelim.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Na sexta passei o dia inteiro em reunião e depois fui num show de stand-up. O cara principal era uma comédia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Hoje passei o dia inteiro jogando PS3, assistindo Weeds no netflix e depois assisti "Swingers" com o Vince Vaugh e o John Favreau (acho que essa é a centésima vez que vejo esse filme). Um dos motivos é que todo mundo fala que eu pareço com o John Favreau (Ontem mesmo um koreanon mencionou isso). Não sei se isso é bom ou ruim. Mas olhem a foto abaixo e tirem suas conclusões.

O Autódromo de Indy recebeu mais de 500,000 pessoas (eu nunca vi tanta cabecinha na minha vida). Tava quente, mas não estava insuportável. A gente foi com escolta policial para o autódromo (o que me fez pensar que eu era super-especial), mas quando eu vi, quase todo mundo tinha escolta para ir pro estádio, então não me senti tão especial assim, me senti muito mais um presidiário mesmo. Bom, os highlights do dia foram:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;HELIO CASTRONEVES - Veio, viu e venceu! Saiu na pole position. Apesar de ter perdido várias posições durante os pit stops, foi melhorando e na volta 143/200 tomou a liderança logo após o reinício da corrida depois de uma bandeira amarela e se manteve na frente até o final. Depois escalou a cerca de proteção, colocou o óculos do CQC quando foi beber o leitinho da vitória. Foi muito legal!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;FELIPE ANDREOLI - Vocês não vão acreditar! Estava eu tentando filmar o Hélio no início da corrida e quem eu vejo do outro lado da rua? Ele mesmo: Luiz Felipe, mais conhecido como Felipe Andreoli do CQC. Filmei o cara tirando aquelas fotos de geladeira (quando vc segura a máquina voltada pra vc mesmo e tira a foto) pra pegar o Helio sentado no carro antes da corrida. Depois gritei o nome dele. Ele deve ter pensando: "Putz, devo estar super famoso! Até aqui em Indianápolis tem gente gritando o meu nome!". Daí ele olhou pra câmera e foi bastante bacana dando "joinha" para câmera. O melhor de tudo que não foi um joinha com uma mão só.
