What went wrong in Venezuela?

Venezuela is a school example, how the country, what could be like South-American Qatar just collapsed? The major point in that question is that this country has very big oil resources, and that thing might be accepted and guaranteed product for export trade and that product should bring money in the cash of the state.

But then the people started to think about environmental things, and one of the worst sources of pollution is oil and another kind of fossil fuel. This kind of things is causing a decrease in demand for oil. But there is another thing, what causes a collapse of the nation, and that is corruption.

One visible sign of corruption is counterfeiting history. And another is that the really popular person would just buy votes by promising freedom from taxes. There is nothing wrong if the person is popular, but if the popularity is got by attacking against minorities or making laws, what is limiting the private life of people by the unnecessary way, that thing causes fear.

People start to afraid the leaders, who are always asking people to streets or otherwise ask the military to crush protests if they are not suitable for those people. And also the violence of "political supporters" of that kind of populists, what are targeted to political resistants or opposition causes fear, and thoughts like "who is next, who will get the drive"?

The thing is that there are always rumors that there is done very bad things, even if the violence would be pushing and yelling. Somebody start always tell legends about killings and disappearings, what might be connected to regular criminals. The cocaine is grown in every jungle in South-America and sometimes has been claimed, that some politicians are hired the gunmen of those drug gangs for eliminating their political competitors.

Sometimes is claimed that the Colombian drug cartels have channeled some kind of money to the political election campaigns of the politicians who want to disband the cooperation with DEA and the other authorities of the United States, but those cartels might do those donations for causing the loss of the reputation for some politicians. And the question is, did those people, who handled those campaigns knew, that the claimed donations came from drug mafia?

Those gangsters are done that kind of donations in Colombia, so why don't they try that also in Venezuela, which could offer the transit for their product. But the thing is that the Lake Maracaibo, where most of the oilrigs located is very polluted, which would not seem nice at this time when the customers are becoming more and more ecological.

And the thing, what makes this thing problematic is that this lake is a bay, what is connected to the Caribean sea by channel. That means that every pollution, what is delivered to Lake Maracaibo would go straight to Caribean sea, which is a very bad thing, and that kind of things along with presidents, who are increasing their power and authorities.

That kind of thing would not seem good in the eyes of customers. And the thing, what could decrease the will to buy oil from Venezuela is the possibility, that there would establish Russian missile site. That thing could cause the second Cold War and the reaction for this kind of things could be similar to the famous Cuban Missile crises in 1963 when the world was almost in the nuclear war.

Companies as part of business life

Companies as part of business life

We all want to be leaders of the big companies, and of course, that kind of thing is really important when we are thinking about a career, what we might do. And in the experience of the leading position of companies are important, when we are searching for very big positions in the big companies. That's why some people are establishing own companies because they want to show their management skills and make a network. But the thing is that before we are establishing any kind of firm, or we start to lead any kind of things in business life, we must know exactly what the company is.

The definition of the word "company" is that thing is a combination of service and product, what purpose is to make a financial benefit for the owners. Of course in SOAP (Service Oriented Application) service itself is the product, but service is also thing how the product is delivering to customer.

And if we want to make a successful business, we must have the necessary skills for that sector of business life, what we have chosen. This is the thing in the successful business. If we make a bad job, we must pay damages and that kind of things are spoiling our reputation if we sometimes want to seek a job as the leader of big companies.

In the working life is billions of people, who are chosen the wrong career, because of their first experience of some jobs is bad. The person can be a perfect chef or perfect person for customer service, but the bad experience in the first contact with working life would turn studies to law schools and another kind of things, and that thing is really sad.

But if we establish a firm, we must make a backup plan, because sometimes people who don't know right people are not getting customers. Good professional skills are not enough when we must get contracts. Selectors of subcontractors of big and well-known companies are getting thousands of offers in a month, and the thing is that those actors seem good in the CV:s of the people, who are working in some other company.

And that kind of contracts is a good opportunity to make social contracts and increase the social network with the leaders of a well-known company. So that's why some offers are getting buried in the Email boxes. This is the reason, why we should get somebody, who would recommend us for those people. But if we do bad work, that thing is maximizing damage, because that person might lose trust for our skills and ability to handle problems and projects.

Following the law is always important because as you might know criminal registration is not a very good recommendation in any position of business life. And also we must realize, that we must not increase corruption or somehow use unethical methods in business. They are bad for reputation, which is a more and more important thing in business life because people are sharper with things, like ecology, humanity, and another kind of things.

If the conditions of product things are unethical, that thing would uncover on the Internet very soon, and who wants to buy the product, what would cost lives in somewhere. Also, things like cartels and other illegal methods in competitions are very soon uncovered. This is the reason, why we should consider our training. If we would have some else training what is suitable for business life, we must realize, that somebody would start to make reports for cartels.

Things like sports clubs are nice hobbies, but they are causing so-called "conspiracy theories" about the cartels, which means contracting prices between the companies. And if that kind of things would uncover, the result would be extremely big penalties and long court processes. This is one point of view to business life.

The problem with innovation is similar to some festivals

The problem with innovation is similar to some festivals

There are problems with the festivals, that some artist, who will come to perform would need money to continue the career. And the thing in those cases is, that if the festival is a so-called profitable case, the artists should get money about their work, which means that they should set payments, what artist must do when the perform is practicing. And in all cases even in the non-profitable festivals, the costs of the artist should be paid.

This is a very complicated thing because if some artist is just beginning actor without no name and recognizability would those people make their best in those cases? Who is the artist, who has so much name, that the inmate or band can ask big payment? And what happens, if in the front of the so-called big name is not an audience, who are coming to listen to some other artist, who might have performed to some marginal groups.

Bands and other actors what have acting long time has many types of music or art, and they might just choose wrong bites of their product for that evening. And would they perform their newest product at some festivals, what is free for everybody? The thing is that also the audience, what pays something must leave something new, and this thing is really sad. 

This same phenomenon is visible in the competitions of the best innovation in some universities and other education actors. I have sometimes thought that many of those persons, who are taking part in those happenings are not showing their best products and innovations. This thing is visible in some courses, where students must introduce some innovations.

And the thing is that many of those innovations are very conventional. Being braver those innovations can be more interesting and in those cases is no shame to be different. The difference is the thing, what makes those competitors colorful, interesting and revolutionary. Of course, they could be good, but if the team would use bravery and imagination, the result could be fascinating and effervescent, what brings notice to those products. And of course, the feedback is a very important thing in forming the product.

They are afraid that somebody will steal those ideas, and that means that they would be far better, than what those magnificent demonstrations have been. Those happenings are a good place to perform their ideas and I have not seen any bad work in those happenings. But when we are thinking those cases like innovation fairs, they are places, where companies and teams are like rockstars.
