I had my doubts and concerns on watching this film ever since it came out in 2013. Last night, I decided to give it a chance.
All I can say is about it, stop reading this and go watch it. Right now.

Month: June 2020
It’s been over three months since we received word that we could work from home and I feel like it was yesterday. How has it been?
Actually it hasn’t been so bad. Thanks to the resources we have today, such as online conference calls, screen sharing, multiple calls, online sharing content, our team at work has been able to successfully adapt to the current conditions, while keep bringing positive results to both our clients and our internal stakeholders.
The fact that I’m somewhat of an organized person who thrives for efficiency has definitely contributed for good and I believe my coworkers have appreciated that this is an absolutely necessary skill for successful teams. Now the question is: What will the big picture look like in the future?
Mine is not the only company who has been able to successfully adapt to the current conditions and the work from home mindset. It always puzzled me why Marissa Meyer was against it, especially considering the industry where she works. There’s definitely more accountability, because you have to prove to your bosses that even though you are not physically at the office, you are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the organization, your clients are being taken care of, and your team is running as efficient as if everyone was working under the same roof. And… the only way to prove this is by producing results that are measurable: revenue, net income, client satisfaction, meeting deadlines and achieving objectives.
I wonder if this will be an opportunity for companies to realize that working from home not only is possible, it is productive, efficient and beneficial for everyone. That is of course for companies who can work with this approach.
Stay tuned.

I’ve decided to start a series of videos on my YouTube Channel to provide my analysis of the greatest tennis player of all time and try to come up with a definite answer to this never ending debate.
The way I went about it is to break down the candidates and rank them into five tiers or classes from D to S, D being the lowest, followed by C, B, A and finally S. Players will be grouped in each tier after a detailed analysis of their careers, based on common achievements and similar resumes. This is because tennis has undergone a huge amount of considerable changes over the past fifty years, therefore it is almost impossible to evenly compare in terms of simple accountable achievements the careers of players who competed in the 1920s and 30s, to players who competed in the 1980s and 90s, without analyzing their contexts.
Another point that I’ll be bringing up is the lack of recognition of players of the past. Recently Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are the highlights in every single
headline. However players like Bill Tilden, Pancho Gonzales, Don Budge, Rod Laver and Jack Kramer deserve equal if not more recognition than the current big three. After all, Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb -who played in the 1910s, 20s and 30s- are always mentioned in the discussion of the greatest baseball player of all time, right? Just like Capablanca, Morphy and Alekhine -who also played over 100 years ago- are mentioned among the greatest chess players of all time. So why not do the same with tennis players of the past? Where will I rank them? Tune in my channel and find out for yourself!
