The power of a song

I was browsing youtube.com just now and I found one song that I have been listening very frequently during my stay in Malaysia. I had it in my MP3 player on hunderds times.

And since then I have come across it just now - a few minutes ago.

Somehow it was a very special feeing. I closed my eyes and I felt like being back. Sitting in the Kuala Lumpur´s LRT(subway), travelling to work, sitting on my chair at the office, working, coming back home, dropping by at Edu´s, cooking dinner and then falling asleep, waking up, going to work again, seeing twin towers from the LRT, seeing the slums, temples from the subway, malay people sitting next to me. It was such a vivid flash back!!!

What a power of a song!

My minor specialization

I have to say I made a very good choice.
At the University of Economics while studying two years of Master´s we have the posibility of choosing a minor specialization next to the major one. There are many options and I chose Commercial communication. And I have no regrets.

The whole-semester course block is focused on media communication, advertising, PR, market research. All these topics mentioned above have a course itself lasting at least one week. And now why I like it so much: For each lecture we have an interesting person from a certain company, who can tell us, how it really works out there. And that is what I appreciate. Finally at the university, we can get the glimps of how these things work in real from a perspective of mostly very interesting people. Sometimes our teacher who is responsible for the whole course organizes an excursion - to a television, radio, marekt research company. And I really appreciate it.

Finally, already two months of Commercial communication is shaping my ideas of what I would like to do in future, what I might be interested in and what is not my cup of tea. There are more ideas for the future coming up. So lets see till the end of the whole course.

Being "special"

After coming back from Asia, where European people tend to stand out from a crowd, I am one in the million now?!

This is basicly one of the biggest diferences that I have encountered while being back. Noone cares. Well, it can be both - advantage and disadvantage. You live your life peacefully and noone gives a sh*t. On the other hand you are no longer the one who people concider as "the different, special one". Well, honestly I have to say, that I liked the feeling of being differnt. To have the opportunity of being an example for the others, give my opinions on different topics, but also learning from locals, feeling that I am the only European in the whole subway train. I didnt mind people looking at me. Well, I am just curious how long would I need to stay in the "different" country, till it gets upsetting or till I get used to :)

Here are a few questions that pop in my mind while thinking about this topic:

What is the difference that matters?
Why do people want to stand out from the crowd?
Why do we want to feel "special"?
And when we get to the point of feeling special, how can we benefit from that?

Are you special? Or one in the million?
