Giving Thanks
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Personal Growth on November 26, 2009
In the spirit of “Turkey Day” I am taking this opportunity and give thanks to:
- My entire family who puts up with me on a daily basis, especially since I have embarked on this roller-coaster called “blogging”
- All my friends who’ve been extremely supportive
- All the other struggling bloggers out there who put in a lot of effort into their articles (their constant posting is my inspiration)
- Special thanks to my kids – Gabriela and Nic who this year will spend this Thanksgiving without me. Thanks for hanging in there guys! Can’t wait to see you on Christmas
Today, I believe this article is very inspirational. It’s on Michael Dunlop’s blog – Income Diary. The article is called “Where 14 Top Internet Businesses Got Started” and it presents the start-up locations for Facebook, Google, Digg and many others. Quite interesting to see the modest environment where these great ideas were created.
Today I decided to show everyone where 14 of my favorite top internet businesses were started. Just goes to show you that you don’t have to start with an office etc. A good number started from dorm rooms and their bedrooms with just a laptop.
Some of the images are a little dodgy — but remember 11 years ago we did not have the highly sophisticated digital cameras we have today….

5 Things You Need to Develop a Strong Mindset

When I came to America, I found out one of the most amazing things ever – you can actually make money by tapping into people’s hunger to understand how the mind operates and what action can be taken so lives are fundamentally changed. This wave of actions towards understanding the power of the mind was championed at the time by one of the biggest names out there – Tony Robbins.
I never really believed all the hoopla but some episodes in my life made me a believer. Despite huge quantities of ink poured over the subject, the power of the mind is still a hot subject in the continuous quest of mankind of understanding and applying – mind over matter.
To me the fundamentals that you have to adopt in order to have a fulfilled life are:

Drive by Blogging
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Personal Growth on December 16, 2009
The idea of writing about negativity in the cyber world came after watching a documentary called “Heckler” on HBO. The show was put together by comedian Jamie Kennedy as a response to the merciless treatment he encountered from the blogging community after the release of his movie “Son of the Mask”. The documentary was an interesting piece of television, exposing the devastating effects the critics and their comments have upon actors in general and Jamie Kennedy in particular.
The idea of defending Jamie Kennedy is far from me and this article is not intended to polish his or anyone else’s image. I am merely pointing out that even if you disagree with someone’s performance, I believe you lower your writing standards to morally attack and individual based on the simple fact that his/her performance in some kind of theatrical act was poor or lacked enthusiasm at the box office.
