Mums patīk būt nesaprastiem

“Man liekas, ka dizainers visos laikos ir bijis cilvēks, kurš ar lielu pietāti pret savu darbu rada lietas, kas it kā padara cilvēku dzīvi labāku.  Viņš ar saviem instrumentiem it kā paver durvis uz jaunu pasauli – tādu, ko mēs pašreiz varbūt vēl nevaram izskaidrot. Dizaineram ir tā prasme un atbildība konkrētā mirklī salikt kādas divas šķietami nesavienojamas lietas kopā, un no tā sanāk kaut kas skaists.“ “Atceros, kad savulaik taisījām stila bildes “Dienas Stilam” (smejas), mūsu vēlme bija radīt sajūtu, ka tās nav tapušas Latvijā. Tā bija 90. gadu dizainera ambīcija – parādīt, ka mēs arī mākam kā ārzemēs. Iekšējo kompleksu dzemdētā vēlme nodzēst barjeru. Tagad, apzinoties, ka tādas robežas vairs nav, tu vairs nevari pārsteigt ar tīri glītām, konceptuālām bildēm. Tas viss aiziet tādā masā, ka zūd vērtība. Līdzīgi ir ar žurnāliem.

(Intervētājs:) To esmu pamanījusi arī pie sevis, jau gadus piecus tos vairs nepērku. Kādreiz itāļu Vogue vakaros lasīju un skatījos gultā kā Bībeli, Stīvena Meizela fotogrāfijām atdzīvojoties stāstos...

Tagad tas viss katru dienu tev ienāk telefonā. Vienlaikus ielauzties šajā informācijas plūsmā un pievērst sev uzmanību ir ļoti grūti.”

“Man šķiet, ka ļoti svarīgi ir strikti turēties pie savas identitātes. Kaut arī tā varbūt brīžiem ir nesaprasta, dīvaina, neatbilstoša.“

“Visas lietas jau eksistē. Visi instrumenti. Nebijis ir tas, ka tu ņem un ar savu domāšanu saliec lietas kaut kā citādāk. Tas konstruktors. Tu paņem tās garšas kārbiņas un samontē kaut kā tā, ka tev liekas interesanti un tajā pašā brīdī pašam gribas cerēt, ka tā ir rītdienas modes valoda. Ka tas nav kaut kas tagad aktuāls, bet valoda, ko cilvēki sapratīs rīt vai parīt. “

Going green shouldn't be this hard

Going green does not need to be a sacrifice, either for us as individuals or for businesses, governments and the economy. This is the second episode of Clima...

Thank you Lauren Singer & Vox for this video! 

I've been taking a close look at what I buy and consume for the past 6 years and I am doing my best to go Zero Waste. How much waste Lauren produces is probably how much waste I make in 1-2 weeks. There is still a way to go. :)

How to run a company with (almost) no rules

What if your job didn't control your life? Brazilian CEO Ricardo Semler practices a radical form of corporate democracy, rethinking everything from board meetings to how workers report their vacation days (they don't have to). It's a vision that rewards the wisdom of workers, promotes work-life balance — and leads to some deep insight on what work, and life, is really all about. Bonus question: What if schools were like this too?

What an amazing man, with such inherit values! Must watch!

Are you a giver or a taker?

In every workplace, there are three basic kinds of people: givers, takers and matchers. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant breaks down these personalities and offers simple strategies to promote a culture of generosity and keep self-serving employees from taking more than their share.

This talk gives actual data to ideas and patterns that I've noticed in workplaces as well. Talking about Givers, Takers and Matchers is close to something I have been aware of lately and I am so happy that there is work done to recognise the issues and solve them, by learning how to recognize the negative patterns and eliminate a problem before it gets too complicated.
