Do you ever pause and reflect on the questions: “What are you doing right now? Is it something that you love?”
Generation Y is rethinking the boundaries of work-life, transforming the paradigm of the workplace and creating a new society.
This video ponders on these questions and presents the outcome of several studies developed by Box1824 – a Brazilian research company that specializes in behavioral sciences and consumer trends.

/// May 8-10 th. 2012 – I am currently attending the SOCAP 2012 conference: Designing the future in Malmö, as a volunteer press support in the press room. ///
Pitch session (3 mins each): Here is the list of pitchers presenting their ideas and companies, and looking for investors. All very interesting social entrepreneurs – read more about them here – and a few of them will gain even more visibility as to funding and networking if they are chosen to present at the conference. I feel very grateful to be meeting so many interesting people with great ideas and companies, including the other volunteers and the event organisers.

Hilarious! Yes alright, even productivity has it’s limits. The worst part is that I kind of did believe/get my hopes up when I saw Google’s in-browser promotion for Google Chrome Multitask:

Not about money, but about pride in what you do. The movie appeals to so many sides in people. It is for those interested in food, photography, cinematography, music, and maybe most importantly, the human aspects of defining success – and the price of perfection. Continue reading

Apart from the evident goodness of preserving nature, this is a lesson in appreciating what you have and putting a (new) spin on it according to a current and relevant issue also suitable for storytelling / PR.
