NADA ES LO QUE PARECE
Siempre es necesario tomar un instante para reflexionar, creeme que te salvara de pasar un gran contratiempo... Alguna vez te ha pasado de que reaccionas ante una cituación incomoda que no era dirigida para ti y ya no sabes como justificarte, ¿¿¿que cosas no???

SOLEDAD
He persivido que la mayoria de las personas le tienen pavor a la soledad; ¿sera esto realmente grave?... yo siempre he dicho que todo tiene un lado bueno, la idea es que se busque y no se dejen llevar por la primera impresiòn.
Aveces es tan necesarios estar solo para refleccionar de todo lo que haz realizado, y de esta forma darte cuenta del sentido que le das a tu vida, para determinar si lo que eres en este momento es lo que realmente deseas, si tu forma de pensar y de actuar es el correcto... no todos quieren estar solos quizas por miedo a descubrir su verdadera identidad.
Lograr tener un momento en el que puedas estar contigo mismo es tan dificil que hay ocasiones en los que tienes ganas de salir corriendo y olvidarte de todo lo que te rodea, sin importar que en tu entorno tambien existen cosas buenas, simplemente es la necesidad de salir del contexto social y conocerte a ti, formar tu propio criterio con respecto a tu persona...me encantaria poder estar sola y vivir esta magnifica experiencia, no importa que despues quizas sea dificil, lo importante es vivirlo....

forescasts delegate entrepreneur subordinate threat shareholder authority producer hierarchy supervise growth planning opportunity task subsidiary
Viviane Rowland is the managing director of a small company, Tristar Laminates, which she founded with a group of fellow entrepreneurs in June 2000. Together they had successfully identified a business opportunity to produce fibreglass components for the marine industry.
Initially the three founders were the only shareholders in the company but it soon became clear that they would need extra capital. They eventually managed to convince a local businessman to invest e500,000 in exchange for 30 per cent of the company. Since then Tristar`s growth has been spectacular and Viviane now supervises a staff of 18 people and an operation with half a million pounds in sales.
Planning for the future is the immediate problem that the company has to face. At the moment production is carried out in a factory that has become too small but finding an alternative site is not an easy task.
