Are You A Leader Or Merely A Manager?

“There is a difference between leadership and management. Leadership is of the spirit, management is of the mind. Managers are necessary, but leaders are essential. We must find managers who are not only skilled organisers, but inspired and inspiring leaders.”Field Marshal William Joseph "Bill"Slim"

4 Ways to Increase Your Sales Productivity by 243%

If you’re like most small business owners, selling is the least favorite part of what you do. What if you knew there was an easy way to make it way more likely that when you call a client or prospect to make a sale, you’d get a call back?

10 Tips To Cross-Selling

Cross-selling is the art of getting a customer to buy something else along with the product they’ve already chosen. The well-worn textbook example of cross-selling is the McDonald’s all time great: ‘Do you want fries with that?’ Simple, yet incredibly effective for upping revenue.

Small-business owners waste their time on what I call £10 an hour work, like running to get office supplies. Meanwhile, they forgo the activities that earn £1,000 an hour, such as sending the right email to the right person, or negotiating a lucrative contract, or convincing a client to do more business with you.

WHY NOBODY TOLD ME THAT THERE WILL BE A MOVIE ABOUT EMILY BRONTË WITH EMMA MACKEY IN IT?

AND THE TRAILER LOOKS PRETTY DAMN GOOD, OH MY GOD I AM EXCITED

why is it so hard for Hollywood (and its directors) to make an original movie and cast new actors/actresses. We need more rom-coms, scfi, hell make even more horror movies with the same plot over and over I DONT CARE ANYMORE AS LONG AS THEYRE DIFFERENT IN A WAY! for the past two or so years it's been nothing but remakes and reboots. we are in the era of remakes and reboots like the early 2010’s.

I WANT MORE CHEESY ROMCOMS

I WANT MORE UNKNOWN ACTOR/ACTRESSES

I WANT MORE LESSER KNOWN ACTOR/ACTRESSES

I WANT MORE ORIGINAL MOVIES/PLOTS

and also I know there has been a number of original movies out BUT THEY NEVER GET PROMOTED OR GET ATTENTION!! AND ITS STARTING TO PISS ME OFF BAD

All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.

Masaki Kobayashi • Great Director • Senses of Cinema

Great Director profile on Japanese filmmaker Masaki Kobayashi

Masaki Kobayashi’s career coincides with the so-called Golden Age of Japanese cinema in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite the fact that some of his films such as the war trilogy Ningen no jōken (The Human Condition, 1959-1961) and Seppuku (Harakiri, 1962) had won international critical acclaim, the centenary of his birth in February 2016 passed almost unnoticed in the Western media. Kobayashi has been largely forgotten by the average Japanese filmgoer, and outside Japan interest in his work is much lower than it is for the films of his contemporaries, such as Akira Kurosawa...

Okay let’s one thing be clue

I’m never. never. NEVER. N-E-V-E-R angry at the actors.

Yeah, maybe I’m angry at the directors for that they made absolutely shitty movie/ending (ehm ehm russos), yeah, maybe I’m angry at the screenwriters for that they wrote that bullshit, and time to time I’m angry at the character itself, because let’s be honest, they sometimes just DO some stupid things. And that’s a fact.

But I’m never. Nevere never never never never angry at the actors. They didn’t wrote their characters. They can’t change anything. They are just trying they best to do their WORK. And they aren’t their characters (well, with RDJ it’s a little bit more comlicated, but you understand what I want to say). The thing is - actors are just doing their WORK. And if we are angry at the character, love it, hate it or somethnig else, I thnik that doesn’t mean nothing but they are doing their work really good. But it doesn’t giving us the right to be angry at the actors for some stupid shit that character did.

Thank you.
