Just another love story

Cruwel and Saynt have been together for almost a decade now. Two kids, stable relationship. Of course they have their ups and downs, their cycles, but they always come out of it safely.

They seem to think they are meant for each other despite the difficulties. Nothing exceptional.


Recently, Cruwel was surfing the internet, you know, looking for fun stuff to take his mind off the daily troubles. He came across a post on 9gag.




He decided to pose the question to Saynt. She came up with a long list of possibilities: artist, art teacher, biologist working deep into the forest to save endangered animals, bookshop owner and others he could not remember after a few seconds. 

Bookshop owner. This seemed to be the definitive one. A bookshop with several storytelling time throughout the day and maybe with a café. Yes, this is it.


Cruwel was more objective - as usual: I'd be either a sniper or a fighter pilot. The only detail was the jet, probably an F22 Raptor.


Saynt's facial expression said everything and Cruwel instantly understood it, "How can/could we be together."


He hurriedly started thinking how they could be together in this alternate reality. Maybe he - a sniper - would go to her bookshop to buy the latest Top 10 Snipers around the Globe or 501 People to Snipe before you Get Snipped or Snipping 101; the last one, just to check if anything has changed.


No. Saynt was the sweetest woman Cruwel has ever met. No way she would sell these books at her store.


Oh, man, wouldn't we ever meet?


I'm glad that is not our reality. Maybe in an alternate Fringe universe there are a Cruwel and a Saynt who haven't met.


The following day, watching the news together, a journalist was reporting about doctors and nurses who worked in the war - probably Middle East - saving the lives of the thousands and thousands innocent people who got caught in the middle of an irrational dispute.


That's it. That's who I would be, she screamed.


Cruwel was relieved. Now we would meet. I would be either the sniper killing the bad guys and protecting you or the fighter pilot combating the enemy forces to end that war and, of course, protecting the doctors and nurses and saving the innocent.


Saynt would be the selfless doctor. Cruwel would be the hero protecting everyone.


They would definitely meet at a bar after a day full of saving lives. Or at a training session for all the soldiers involved in the battles.


Certainly, after meeting once, Cruwel would look after Saynt and he would do anything to keep her safe.


Yes, they met and have been together for almost a decade now. Two kids, stable relationship...

O Código da Liderança, Regra 2

O Codigo da Lideranca Este é o segundo de cinco posts que resumem as principais ideias de Dave Ulrich, Norm Samllwood e Kate Sweetman em O Código da Liderança ( The Leadership Code , Best Seller, 191 páginas). Este Código da Liderança, como qualquer outro código, oferece estrutura e orientação, e ajuda não só a saber o que fazer para ser um líder melhor, mas também como desenvolver melhor a capacidade de liderança. Alguns líderes parecem nascer sabendo o código; outros precisam aprendê-lo, mas este é o sine qua non da liderança eficaz. O livro mostra cinco regras da liderança. A primeira, resumida no post de 23 de outubro, fala do líder estrategista, na Regra 1: Prepare o Futuro. Neste post, Regra 2: Faça Acontecer. Fazer acontecer significa ser um executor, significa ser uma pessoa capaz de tornar o trabalho uma realidade. Um executor deve ter a habilidade de fazer o trabalho bem feito. Ser um líder executor eficiente significa ter uma visão clara de aonde se q...

O Código da Liderança

Ser um líder é um dom ou uma habilidade? Outra pergunta fácil. É uma habilidade. Sim pode ser desenvolvida. Essa mesma discussão surge quando se fala de professores. Ser um ótimo professor é um dom ou um ótimo professor pode ser formado. Idem. Em O Código da Liderança ( The Leadership Code , Best Seller, 191 páginas), Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood e Kate Sweetman construíram um código de cinco regras que são características básicas para a formação de qualquer líder. Os autores constataram que entre 50 e 85% das características de liderança são compartilhadas entre líderes eficazes. Por meio de entrevistas com diversos líderes, os autores concluíram que as cinco regras descritas no livros são as básicas para a contrução de um líder. As cinco regras estão apresentadas abaixo. Este post é o primeiro de cinco que resumirão as ideias de Ulrich, Smallwood e Sweetman sobre liderança. Regra 1 - Prepare o Futuro Preparar o futuro significa ser um estrategista, se...

Veja's article is... ok/O artigo da Veja é só... bom

This week's Veja brings the cover headline Solte Seu Inglês - Dá para aprender inglês depois de adulto, melhorar no trabalho e passar menos apertos . The article is... ok. That's it. A not very rich word. First of all, just once does the article mention the word culture and it is used to define the British Council. The author fails to show that language and culture are inseparable. And she had a very good example in the article when she told the story of Brazilian ballet dancer Thiago Soares who took the initiative to talk to the Queen... by saying Hi . The article intends to enlighten the reader, to show the difficulties adults may have when studying English as a foreign language; it also shows, through examples, the profits of studying English. A very positive aspect of the article is that it does not focus on the difficulties much. It gives more attention to the successful outcomes of people who study the language. However, the journalist fails to mention signi...
