MBA - European School Ranking by Salary

European Business School Ranking

In my opinion, MBA is like any other product or service. It provides value for some and no or low value to others. Majority of the MBA students do not invest any money, but their fees are paid by their companies. On the other hand there are more and more people who pay on their own. For these guys it is rational to evaluate the potential ROI, right? Therefore possibly for them this ranking would be a good indicator. However as with any other investment in future there is never a guarantee for higher salary or even a positive change. It is the nature of any business activity.

Mastering The Multitasking

There is usually two distinct perspectives on multi-tasking: 1. Multitasking is counterproductive. We get distracted by multiple tasks that all get our way and fight for our scarce attention, time and resources. This leads to a common fallacy that if you do multiple activities “at a time” you are not doing good work in any of those. 2. Multitasking is a way of getting many things done in a short period of time or in a long run. Indeed it can be either a disaster or a great helper depending on how it is used and practiced. Most recent research shows that we don’t do multiple tasks purely in parallel or simultaneously. That means we don’t purely multi-task, but switch between tasks and execute them one at a time, but by spending very small timeframes on each task. A good example from the history is a story about Julius Caesar capabilities in that area. Plutarch writes, “Caesar disciplined himself so far as to be able to dictate letters from on horseback, and to give directi...

Construction issues resolution in Sydney - part 17

It's been a while since the last post In January 2016 the owner lodged an application to NCAT against owners corporation to fix three major defects: - waterproofing of large windows in the living room and bedroom which led to windows full replacement - bathroom drain fix - planterbox fix The owners corporation didn't come to mediation and tribunal ordered to fix all defects within 2 months (the deadline was 8th July 2016). The owners corporation as usual didn't rush to comply with the order regarding two items: bathroom and planterbox. The windows works started end of April 2016. At the same time owners corporation decided to check whether it's a warranty and original builder should fix the issues. That was also related to the fact that the variation was submitted by the current contractor who started fixing the defect. So the owners corporation stopped all works in the middle and went off for a month to "make decision". The decision was mad...

Seafood Chowder with Bacon and Corn

This delicious soup is a good idea for dinner or lunch in cold weather. Also it's a good way to convince children to eat fish by disguising it with other seafood that they prefer more. A while ago I cooked a chowder using the following recipe http://notwithoutsalt.com/chanterelle-chowder-with-bacon-and-corn/ , however I couldn't find raw chanterelle mushrooms here in Sydney and therefore used normal mushrooms instead. It was also very tasty, but I thought to cook seafood this way as well. So I had to modify the original recipe to adapt for seafood instead of mushrooms. Here's how it looks. Seafood Chowder with Bacon and Corn Serves 4 for two days or 7-8 people one off Ingredients: 250 grams diced bacon 1 onion, diced 1/2 large bulb fennel, diced 4 garlic cloves, sliced 1 tablespoon miso paste 4 cups prawn or fish stock 2 cups cubed yellow potatoes (3 medium/large) 1 can corn kernels 1 1/2 cup pure cream mixed raw seafood about 700-900 grams (I us...
