Care sunt principalele diferente între romani
Iata cateva intrebari la care cautam raspunsuri in cartea "Romanii, un viitor previzibil?"
Lucrarea prezinta caracteristicile culturale ale angajatilor romani si impactul acestora in viata personala si profesionala. Studiul a fost realizat de compania de consultanta si training Result Development pe 1132 romani, marea majoritate fiind angajati, cu studii superioare.
Resursele definitorii ale romanilor: creativitatea, inteligenta, independenta, spiritul de familie, dorinta de schimbare si criticismul sunt puse in umbra de propriile lor limitari: dorinta de putere, tendinta spre barfe, tendinta de a invidia, pasivitatea, fatalismul si resemnarea. Iar viitorul romanilor ni se dezvaluie de propriile aspiratii: perfectionismul, competenta si disciplina, deschiderea spre invatare, colaborarea, siguranta, integritatea.
Lucrarea analizeaza diferenta intre romani si occidentali prin formula "magia onestitatii si mitul inteligentei la romani". Daca americanii si europenii se considera mai buni decat ceilalti, dar nu si mai inteligenti, romanii se considera atat mai buni, cat si mai inteligenti.

Ramadan marks the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the exact beginning and end of the month varies depending on astronomical calculations. There is a lot beyond the word fasting (abstaining from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset); it is also a break that one gives the body, as well as a means of feeling the state of hunger the poor and deprived people experience. Moreover, it’s a time for charity work, assisting needy people and learning how to be thankful for what God has provided us with and cement one’s relation with God.

La Valle del Nilo richiama e affascina viaggiatori di tutto il mondo dagli albori dell’umanità. Oggi l’Egitto,
erede di una civiltà ininterrotta di oltre 5000 anni, all’incrocio tra Africa, Asia e Mediterraneo, è un affascinante
miscuglio di moderna diversità e antico splendore. Ai suoi tesori culturali si aggiungono oltre 2.500 km di
litorali panoramici lungo il mar Rosso e il Mediterraneo. Per questo l’Egitto è una destinazione incantevole
tutto l’anno, in grado di regalare un sorriso anche al viaggiatore più spossato. Le qualità dell’Egitto sono
seducenti quanto diverse: la gradevole e mite temperatura dell’aria e del mare, soprattutto in inverno,
l’ospitalità e il buonumore del suo popolo, il sole tutto l’anno, le magnifiche spiagge, i centri di immersione
e snorkelling, le impareggiabili barriere coralline e la vita acquatica; le montagne bibliche; le romantiche
oasi del deserto. Tra tutto questo è intessuta la fertile valle del Nilo, il secondo fiume del mondo, piena di
vita e storia. Le diverse e profonde tradizioni spirituali egiziane non mancheranno di lasciare il loro segno. Le
chiese, i conventi, le moschee, i templi e gli elaborati complessi funerari delle tradizioni religiose egiziane:
faraonica, copta e mussulmana, rappresentano un tesoro di grande potenza artistica e spirituale che
offrono al visitatore un’esperienza profonda e indimenticabile.
