Butterfly . . .

Butterfly . . .

I never thought,
You would stop by me..
Just to find comfort,
In my arms..
I didn’t expect to hear,
Couldn’t believe my ears
When I herd
Three magic words,
I do not wish,
Neither expect
For you to leave me ever again..
Would you be,
Could you be,
Staying with me
My little butterfly . . .

Online feelings . . .

Online feelings . . .

How would u feel when the person u r searching for is offline most of the time..
How would u feel when the person u want to disturb more is too busy..
How would u feel when the person u want to talk with.. prefers ur silence
How would u feel when u want to kiss the stranger.. but u cant explain..
How would u feel when u got to say "good bye" instead of "I need you" . . .

I was dreaming of a man who really loves me
and i found that loving person in this world.
He started loving me and i was crazy over him

with his difficulties..
coldnt beleave the way he gave his time
with his bsy schedule..
he sacrifiesd everything..
cos he loves me.
he never made me cry
never hurt me..
this small note to say THANK YOU..
to that loving person . . .

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL WHAT YOU DID . . .

Did you really love me . . .

Did you really love me . . .

When I look back I feel the sorrow
Four years went by we had ups and down
I always valued your presence in my life
I cared you like a mother then a friend..
I've never been selfish when it comes to you my love
But how can I believe that you are doing things behind my back
You have good reasons to tell me using your mothers name
After few months you are getting married
I have agreed for that and I really wanted you to
But love I never thought that you will be selfish
I always said to talk to me discuss with me and to tell me things even I get hurt
And the promises that you have given you have forgotten now

Yesterday was the lucky day for me to know the hidden things in your heart
You said that "mama wants you to talk to the girl you are going to get married"
But you never respected my love towards you no need to explain
I've been a good friend to you all the way
you never valued my love but you dont want me to go away from your life too
And you blamed me saying coz of me your car getting spoiled and had so much of expenses
No worry love give me sometime your car will be only for you

I was sobbing like a child, you least bother then screaming at me
It really made me to take this decision..
I am telling you with my good heart
Please forget about me and think of her dream of her
You speak to her as your plans and get close to her
You easily can forget about me..

My humble request is that please don't bother about me hereafter
I will be fine and I will never ever curse you..
Please just leave me I can over come the pain I have
I am a strong woman . . .

Slow Down Culture . . .

Slow Down Culture . . .

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.

Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to posses a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil.
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
3. Stockholm, has 500,000 people.
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned companies (Volvo supplies the NASA).

The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot." To which he replied, "Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think so? Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe named Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week. Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and craziness" generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity" (life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the quality of being".

French people, even though they work only 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 29 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%. This slow attitude has brought forth the US's attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!". This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, perfection, with more attention to detail and less stress. It means reducing rejects and wastage. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous future. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living. It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.

It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit.

In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now". To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then they dance to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment.

As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".

Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many who will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized world . . .

Why . . .

Why . . .

How could you,
Why did you,
Lied to me..
After all this time..
More than any thing..
I am puzzled,
How couldn’t I,
Why didn’t I,
See..
The moth in butterflies cloths . . .
