On Importance of Honesty
Jul 28th
 honesty… by Самвел Лозивец |
I can’t believe that there are people who think that honesty is not the most important part of the relationship. In any personal, or professional relationship honesty is most important. We have to be comfortable with what our partners think to build a lasting relationship. Even if we don’t agree with what they think.
If there is no trust there is no business. We have to be open with our partners, clients, and anyone who we have a relationship with. If people don’t agree, they must agree to disagree.
People also don’t realize that being in relationship does not only bring all the positives, but also the negatives of the partner. In other words, you don’t only inherit the benefits of having a partner, but you also inherit their problems. If you can’t handle that, you should not be in a relationship, you should not form a partnership, you should not engage in working with the client.
Be honest with your friends and they’ll be honest with you. If you are not honest with them, it will come back to you. And if the friendship ends because of honesty, then the relationship had to end.
If you lie to others, you lie to yourself.

Dream Fabrique takes over WordPress
Jun 4th
I always enjoy watching my friends and clients succeed. In the end of March I have consulted the CEO of DFMO.NET, Dmitry Myachin, on how to use Social Media tools such as Twitter, Facebook, and Blogging for marketing their music, magazine, concerts, and stores. DFMO operates from St Petersburg, Russia and promotes Russian musicians(mainly rock) in Russia and into the international market. I was surprised by the quality of the bands they sign up.
Recently DFMO had a lot of success promoting one of their bands, Not For Joe, in Russia. And now you can read about it on their global crew blog – http://dfmusicorg.wordpress.com/. They also had a lot of success with the blog they lunched. On Monday DFMO Global Crew Blog was #1 blog on Wordperss Russia. The blog was lunched in April of this year and has achieved incredible results. I want to congratulate DF Music Organization on their success and wish them continuous success with their business in the future.

Seduce me with Design
May 21st
Andy Budd – Seductive Design from Build on Vimeo.
Seduction and design have the same goal. They both want to lure people in. They both portray value to others, and the ultimate goal is to create a long lasting relationship with the right people. Beautiful design is like a beautiful seduction. We will not pay attention to the flaws, we will only look at what adds value to our experience. We want to have a personal connection. @andybudd explains on the little details which make the world of seduction so much like the world of design.

Die Antwoord. The Zef within you.
May 19th
The first time I heard Die Antwoord I enjoyed it and had a laugh. Now I got their album and can’t stop listening to it. The South African Hip-Hop group that got famous through the internet seems to be speaking to their listeners on a level that no one has.
In their songs and interviews they talk about connecting to your inner Zef. You can call it the inner you, the force, the Buddha, the consciousness, etc. On a basic level it means to be comfortable with who you are and not let the social conditioning change it.
One of my favorite excerpts from their song “Enter the Ninja”:
“You can’t do this, you can’t do that”
Yo, fuckin’ who said so?
I do what I like
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
You can’t fuck with the chosen one…
Can you handle Die Antwoord?

Education from the Future
May 15th
My friend Denis has been bugging me about this guy for a while now. He teaches Math and other subjects on youtube. From Basic Algebra to Calculus to Banking and Money. Learn at your own pace. Whether you are 10 or 30, or 50. I am planning to watch a few of his courses over the summer time.
This is a beautiful idea in practice. Most of teachers made me hate school. With exception of a few. So this is School 2.0. I like it.
Education is our future. And this is the future.
