its all mine.

........... i finally landed a job in management excited beyond words i am now earning and in a position to aid my own growth. i take this as a challenge for future greater job opportunities.
my position entails planning organizing and marketing. my interview 2 each with the head and deputy
were moderate. i only had to prove my worth and decision making capability which i deed since i got the job. but the hard part is implementing my ideas and motivate the workers.
major hurdles include language and employees relation to the ceo its more of a family owned business i have to tread safely and watch my moves, be articulate for now i am certain i have won the admiration of few people i am young energetic and smart.
convincing the staff to change there culture which i have clearly noted is paternalistic will be very important. there are advantages and disadvantages as i stated. these people are twice older than i am. few are adequately educated.
there are a few favourites but i am hoping and wishing that i achieve my goal by implementing the most important regulations.
time management topping my agenda and language.

Dear Its all Mine (iam)

Luved this blog.

Ciao. In Italy there is no such thing as good luck. Infact when someone faces a challenge the Italians have two important phrases one is

One expression for good luck is "In boca al lupo" (which literary menas put your hand in the mouth of the wolf). The response to this is "krepi lupo" (hope the wolf dies). Look at the powerful imagery here it basically connotes the roughness of life's struggles. When you decide to put your mouth in the mouth of the wolf, you will either lose it or you have to put in in such a way that the wolf dies immediately your hand enters its mouth before it causes you harm.

The second expression which is rather vulgar is "In culo alla balena" (fix yourself in the anus of the whale). The response is "sperando che non cachi" (hoping that the whale does not fart or go for a long call). This means that even in uncomfortable places like the ass of the whale you have to struggle not to be thrust out by a wild fart or long call.

The world is a warfare place and only the smart survive: this has something to do with natural selection.
