Lots of ideas about getting to know your customers better -- and I must admit, useful too.

Hi there,

No. Filipinos don't use chopsticks as a matter of practice. But in many Chinese restaurants found all over the Metro, they do.

Hi,

So you've been back to the Philippines. It's been awhile since I viewed your blog. Good to know you visited again?

Cheers!

Re: Question of the Week : Person and Persona

lotusflower — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 21:17:51 -0000

Hello Mr Coelho,

Thanks for the opportunity to join this discusssion.

"The word "Person" comes from "Persona" (latin) and "Persona" meaning mask, a mask that we have to wear sometimes in society. Sometimes we have to be political, we have to use this persona.

The question is: Who are you? Who is your persona? Who do you think you are and what you are forced to do to behave so you can survive in the society".

A large chunk of who I am is represented in my blogs. Large but not all. For practical and self-protection reasons, we can not completely say who we are in our online journals or writings but anyone can have a pretty good grasp of the kind of human being I am.

I do not assume a certain 'made-up or propped' persona to function well in the world where I am now. The real world needs openness and not pretenses for it to become a better place.

I am 'what you see is what you get'. That is me. I have been pit-level down before. But, somehow, I managed to survive the apathy of others, especially those who do not know me well; the derision of people who are related by blood who are worse than those who're not; and the perpetual condescending attitude of people affected by my past personal life decisions.

To them, that is their problem. I have learned to expel all my grudges away and hope to stay positive every moment that I can.

Too naive? Most times naivete is a welcome change.

Cheers to you Mr. Paulo Coelho.

Re: Less Sleep Results in Memory Loss

Hi there,

Where I come from, most young people are employed in call centers, including one of my sons. These call centers serve the U.S. markets, naturally, time is tip and tumble. Our day here is nighttime there. I have been trying to convince my son to get another job. He's been working the graveyard shift for two years now. I worry about his health a lot. But I don't know what's with this generation (aged 18-28) -- they eat lots of junk, sleep less, are techno gadget freaks, etc.

Thanks for all the useful information. Now I have more reason to nag him about getting a day job.

Great site. Cheers!

Why not a trip to Singapore and a sewing machine. I would choose those, if I were your Grandma. But the SG trip for me would be the 7th. I used to go to Singapore annually, all expense paid-for by my American business principals:-) But that was a long, long time ago.

Cheers to your Grandma and You (such a loving granddaughter)

Hi Jade,

I am sincerely sorry to hear this sad news. What can I say that you haven't already heard?

It is my fervent prayer that God will give you the grace to accept these trials and start healing emotionally and physically.

There will be lots of time to try again.

My best regards.

God Bless.
