YOUNG TURKS


6:00 A.M. I'm on a taxi headed for the airport. Long day in front of me and yet, I am feeling quite well and energetic. Suddenly, I see a bunch of young ladies and gentlemen in the bus stop, waiting for the College Bus that goes by every day and pick students up to take'em to school.

It was a quick and dramatic flashback. Here I was, after almost 12 years since I graduated from College, inmersed in the corporate world, living the dream and pushing for more, and  there they were: maybe kind of woozy because of the early wake up, but all of them chasing the dream of being "somebody".

I started humming automatically the famous song by Rod Stewart "Young Turks", and I recalled part of the lirics that went like this:

"Young hearts be free tonight. Time is on your side,



Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around,


don't let 'em ever change your point of view"

So I tought: what would be the 5 pieces of advice I would give these young fellows, before they take a cold, deep dip into the world of business?. I think it's an easy one. And definately, you will see that my position relates a lot to the spirit of Rod's song:

1) Aim High and work your ass off to get what you want. Exceed in efforts to do stuff differently and  always be spotless and transparent on your job.

2) Build character and always be strong, blunt and fair to others.

3) Never compromise your ideas and dreams. Don't let the big bad bullies intimidate you. A courageous heart will always find his path to success.

4) Find your Talent. Be passionate about what you do. Don't spend life doing something you don't like. It's a slow suicide.

5) Take risks and accept challenges. Cowards never get too far.

Wow, will I ever go back to college?....it's time to think about it seriously and give a shot to school again. I want to live like a young turk for the rest of my life.

RANT-A-TOUILLE


WOW! creating a blog is like having a new son (not that I have any yet, but I've seen in the discovery health channel that the procedure is very painful). But after a lot of time thinking about the idea of opening an english based "Rant Camp", I finally decided to go for it and hope you guys like the stuff I want to share with you.

I started blogging about a year and a half ago with my first incursion on the web called Aureliano Garcia: Notas para el corcho (Notes to pin on the cork) and finding that sometimes my brain just works better thinking in english ( at least i think it works, I guess) today I launch this new blog called RANT-A-TOUILLE.

Why RANT-A-TOUILLE?

1) Because it is intended to become a collection of RANTS (Rant =to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way; rave) ,ideas, opinions and questionings that at the end, will look like the famous french dish: an amalgam of color, flavor and a great aftertaste.

2) It is also inspired on the famous movie "Ratatouille", because I like to think of myself as somebody that can do things in a different way, despite what some people may think. The little funny rat on the movie had something that inspires me: a heart to make things happens, even if they seem imposible or absurd.

3) Because I always have an opinion to share and I love to RANT!. In fact, one of my favorite comediants is Dennis Miller, and he has a bunch of books filled with his very famous rants from "The Dennis Miller" show, aired a few years ago on HBO. So, I think it is just fair to let the rants continue and if it involves lots of people participating, that's even better.

This is the first post on RANT-A TOUILLE. I hope that, if it doesn't change the world, at least it will give it a small pinch in the arm!.

Let's make a huge RANT A TOUILLE....one rant at a time.
