Save the last dance for me...

Dane, Pega, Sava, Debeli...za mene celoga života tata... I kad smo se slagali i kad smo kako bi on rekao vodili konstruktivne diskusije, bio je uvek tata...nikada neću zaboraviti kada bi subotom ušao u 8 ujutru i mene i sestru budio sa Banini banini probajte banini... Stvarno nas je nekad dovodio do ludila :)... U mnogo čemu uticao je na moj život... Pre svega podrškom... Znale smo da uvek ali baš uvek imamo gde da se vratimo, samo je po njegovim rečima bilo važno da odemo da probamo svet... Nije ga mrzelo da nas godinama vodi i vraća sa treninga, insistirajući da je sport odličan način odrastanja...nikada neću zaboraviti kada sam mu dok me je kasno jednu noć čekao da se vratim sa takmičenja, uz zagrljaj prošaptala da sam osvojila zlato... Ne mogu da zaboravim ... Jutro pred govore za izbor predsednika AIESECa Srbije dobijam poruku od njega... Veruj u sebe, ti si posebna... Čini mi se da sam puno stvari uradila imajući zaleđinu i osećaj sigurnosti koji su mi dali moji roditelji... I put u Francusku na praksu i podrška da pratim svoje snove uvek... To je nešto što mi je on preneo...kada smo bile male tata je uvek puštao pesmu brusa vilisa Save the last dance for me i pričao kako čeka da se udamo i da pleše uz ovu pesmu sa nama... To se neće desiti tata...i čini mi se da nikako nije uspeo da shvati koliko sam ponosna što sam njegova ćerka...koliko sam ponosna sto je bio pošten i kako je voleo da kaže mirno spava noću... Volela sam njegove viceve, i beskonačne diskusije o tome šta je stvarno važno.. nisam razumela što mi u poslednje vreme daje toliko saveta...volela sam njegov osmeh :) i to kako nas je zasmejavao, njegove ženskice... I da nekada me je dovodio do ludila, iz najbolje namere kako je voleo da kaže...i ostajem u čudu... Ali se trudim da verujem u ono sto Balasević kaže a to je: umreš pa te nema? Pa to ne može....i za kraj tata za tabe čuvam poslednji ples... Volim te

The Easiest Way to Change People's Behavior

since, in last couple of months it is very interesting to see how Alcatel Lucent change process is going on, and also be a part of it in day to day work, behaviors became a hot topic those days... i would say not how to change peoples behaviors but how to develop the right one...grow them in our company organization, team... here is very interesting article on the topic...and a couple of interesting parts for me...

"So don't fight yourself to change your behavior in the midst of the wrong environment; just change the environment. In the case of food, using a salad plate instead of a dinner plate might be all the diet you need."

"The lion that sat so royally on the rock at the top of the hill, day in and day out, for all the park visitors to see?

It turns out the rock he sat on was temperature controlled. It was warm on cold days, cool on hot days. No need to train the lion or tie him to the rock or hope he likes the view. Just make the rock a place he wants to sit."

„Izgubili smo osećaj za važnost života. Ne samo što fizički život ne znači mnogo, oguglali smo na mrtve. Ali to važi za mnogo generacija. Ponašamo se kao da ovo nije naš jedini život, kao da imamo popravni ispit i još nekoliko života. Stvara se atmosfera da se žrtvujemo za neke više ciljeve, da se odričemo zadovoljstva, sreće zbog nečeg važnog i velikog, a kada se upitamo šta je to, nema odgovora. Nemilice trošimo dane i godine, tonemo u beznađe, arčimo naše ljudske i nacionalne potencijale. A zarad čega? Moramo se probuditi. Deset godina smo protraćili, neki od nas deset najboljih godina, neki deset poslednjih, a neki deset prvih, presudnih za formiranje ličnosti. I sve to s jako malo zadovoljstva, sreće, napredovanja.“

What matters to Me...and to You?

ps thank to yunus for this video

what do you really miss at home... Nostalgija...

many times in these 9 months in Paris, I was thinking and discussing with my friends about what "nostalgia" is and what do you really miss at home?
for sure i don't miss politics and politicians jumping out from newspapers, tv and billboards every second of the life, i don't miss affairs and corruption, my old-fashion university that is preparing me for middle age economics, pessimists and negative energy and so on... I am sure my friend Milan can think of many other examples :)))

BUUUT... for sure I miss my mum and dad and just all of my friends... and food mmm.. and nature, "my places", my hometown Nis (imagine, I miss Nis! :P)... I miss OUR sun :) I miss home...

This internship has helped me understand who am I really, what I love at home, and not just what I want to change... It helped me appreciate my country more, but also respecting the culture that I discovered here in France.

I am realy greatful to have the opportunity to discover my feelings, which is really valuable for me, by being put in a challenging environment. Maybe the most interesting thing is growing and discovering this with people - my friends now - that were complete strangers just a few months ago...

So as a citizen of the world... I miss my home...and I appreciate the opportunity to miss it!!!!
