Family

According to the Wikipedia "Family denotes a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence." is it good? I think it dependence on each one experience.
A week ago I was talking with Gianpaolo (my new boss) about luck, does it exists? I don't think so, luck is you be ready, prepared to catch an opportunity when it appears. If you are not ready, and you don't do anything to help your self, you will pass your whole life regretting that you were not able to make your dreams became true.
But think about your family, you did not have choice, you was born and your father, mother, uncle, aunt, maybe brother, maybe sister, they were all there already! So in this case I think that luck exists.
You can be born in a big family, in a small one, in a healthy family or in a family with many health problems, in a rich one or in a very poor, in a liberal one or in a very conservative. But in the end it doesn't matter because the most important thing in a family is love, do you know why? The reason is that with love you will always do things to proportionate the best to the family, some times we commit mistakes, we are humans, but the most important is that we commit them trying to do the right thing.
I am very lucky because I have a family that always tried to proportionate the best for me! My pillars are my father and my mother that taught me every thing, mainly my values. They developed in me the ability to discern what is right and what is wrong. The gave me the opportunity to study, to travel abroad, etc. They provided me a home, the most secure place in the world. And I am grateful for every thing!!!
I am more lucky because I have a whole family, including grandmothers, grandfather, uncle, aunt, brother and sisters that love me, and I love them. I also have a step mother, even not being consanguinity as in the Wikipedia definition (what makes me even more lucky), that loves me.
If luck doesn't even exists, isn't it enough luck for me? Yes, but even tough I could find a very especial girl, Gabriela! And if family is all about love, and care about the family member trying to proportionate the best for them, she is in my family!

What a LUCKY guy!

Thanks my family!

Personal Marketing

Why would I have a blog? I do not know how wright well and I do not have any thing interesting to wright. So why? But last week I was talking to an Italian guy, in a job interview, when he asked me: “Do you have a blog?”, I said that I didn't have and I was wondering why did he asked it to me. He explained that it is a very good opportunity to show every one who you are. In other words is a very good media to communicate my safe to the whole world. So I decided to try!

I have a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration, and some job experience in the marketing area. I was always thinking how would I innovate to communicate a company's brand, and which would be the perfect marketing mix to determinate product. What about the most important brand? My self is the most important brand! And I didn't even have marketing plan for me.

I have already started to formulate the plan:
-Short Term objectives: Finish my Business Course (that I have already started), Bring my girlfriend from Brazil to New Zealand, get a MBA scholarship at Auckland University and Learn the most I can about food retail.
-Long Term objectives: ave my own business (What? I don't know yet, but I will keep looking for a market opportunity).
-Marketing Mix:
Product: My knowledge. So I have to keep studying and searching for a job opportunity where I can learn a lot.
Place: New Zealand and Brazil.
Promotion: Find new ways to communicate my self such as Face Book, Blog, Orkut, so on.
Price: No is not the time to make a lot of money, but it is to learn.

So I can position my self as a young professional with Knowledge and experience. I am branding my self.

And in this blog I will wright about me, about the things that like: Music, Movies, Sports, Marketing, Business Opportunities, New Zealand, Brazil, My Girlfriend Gabi and Books.

So here you can know a lot about me.

Cheers!
