Stop fearing
We're all afraid: of what might or might not happen, of what we can't
change, or what we won't be able to do, or how other people might
perceive us.
So it's easier to hesitate, to wait for the right moment, to decide we need to think a little longer or do some more research or explore a few more alternatives.
Meanwhile days, weeks, months, and even years pass us by.
And so do our dreams.
Don't let your fears hold you back. Whatever you've been planning, whatever you've imagined, whatever you've dreamed of, get started on it today.
If you want to start a business, take the first step. If you want to change careers, take the first step. If you want to expand or enter a new market or offer new products or services, take the first step.
Put your fears aside and get started. Do something. Do anything.
Otherwise, today is gone. Once tomorrow comes, today is lost forever.
Today is the most precious asset you own--and is the one thing you should truly fear wasting.

Stop criticizing
Yeah, you're more educated.
Yeah, you're more experienced.
Yeah, you've been around more blocks and climbed more mountains and slayed more dragons.
That doesn't make you smarter, or better, or more insightful.
That just makes you you: unique, matchless, one of a kind, but in the end, just you.
Just like everyone else - including your employees.
Everyone is different: not better, not worse, just different.
Appreciate the differences instead of the shortcomings and you'll see people--and yourself--in a better light.

The famous 7 habits
RIP Stephen Covey!
Here are his famous '7 habits of highly effective people':
1) Be Proactive
As human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. We have the independent will to make our own choices and decisions, and the responsibility ("the ability to respond") to make the right choices. You have the freedom to choose your own fate and path, so having the independent will, imagination and self-awareness to make the right move makes you a proactive, and not a reactive, person.
2) Begin With The End In Mind
Mental visualization is extremely important. Covey says that all things are created twice: first, the mental conceptualization and visualization and a second physical, actual creation. Becoming your own creator means to plan and visualize what you're going to do and what you're setting out to accomplish and then go out and creating it. Identifying your personal statement and your principles will help.
3) Put First Things First
With your power of independent will, you can create the ending you want to have. Part of that comes with effective time management, starting with matters of importance. Then tasks should be completed based on urgency after you deal with all the important matters. If you deal with crises, pressing problems and deadline-driven projects first, your life will be a lot easier.
4) Think Win/Win
If you believe in a better way to accomplish goals that's mutually beneficial to all sides, that's a win/win situation. "All parties feel good about the decision and feel committed to the action plan," Covey wrote. "One person's success is not achieved at the expense or exclusion of the success of others." If you have integrity and maturity, there's no reason win/win situations can't happen all the time.
5) Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood
If you're a good listener and you take the time to understand a concept, it will help you convey your opinions, plans and goals to others. It starts with communication and strong listening skills, followed by diagnosing the situation and then communicating your solution to others.
6) Synergize
Synergistic communication, according to Covey, is "opening your mind and heart to new possibilities, new alternatives, new options." This applies to the classroom, the business world and wherever you could apply openness and communication. It's all about building cooperation and trust.
7) Sharpen The Saw
Sometimes you're working so hard on the other six habits that you forget about re-energizing and renewing yourself to sharpen yourself for the tasks in front of you. Some sharpening techniques include exercise and nutrition, reading, planning and writing, service and empathy and commitment, study and meditation.

La politesse d'Al Capone
"Al Capone disait toujours : "On obtient plus de choses en étant poli et armé qu'en étant juste poli.". Cette simple phrase explique la persistance d'un phénomène comme la mafia à travers les siècles."

Sometimes - 8
Sometimes,
you just need
to distance yourself
from people.
If they care
they'll notice.
If they don't, you know
where you stand.

not to keep people out,
but to see who actually
cares enough to break them down.

Acer A510 - Test focus - Photos et vidéo
Salut,
Voici la suite du test de mise au point de la tablette Acer A510.
Conditions du test : un journal posé sur le sol.
Les photos prises entre 1m et 10cm du sol :
On constate que l'autofocus fonctionne plutôt bien mais que la mise au point ne se fait plus correctement quand on est à seulement 10cm du sujet (3e photo).
La vidéo, toujours prise entre 1m et 10cm du sol : c'est ici.
On constate une fois de plus que c'est moche ! ... :-(
Cdt.

Acer A510 - Test focus en mode vidéo 1080p
Bonjour,
Certains se demandent si l'Acer A510 offre un autofocus continu en mode vidéo.
Pour récupérer la vidéo au format original (1080p en 3gp), c'est ici.
Pas bien brillant !
Je me demande même s'il y a un autofocus ou si l'A510 ne se contente pas d'une mise au point sur l'infini...
Bye.
PS : désolé pour le bruit de fond, il y avait du vent et un voisin qui jouait de la perceuse... mais au moins, la pluie avait cessé... :-)
