1 Listened to
Desert Island
Discs episode
of Dame Zaha
Hadid
I reflected on the critical importance of courage to shake up
traditional practices and concepts of architecture through fluid and
futuristic thinking. Zaha Hadid was one of the most celebrated
architects in the world in a field dominated by men. Her triumph
was to turn the beautiful graphic visions of her sculptural approach
into reality. This is due to her rare courage, conviction, tenacity and
a free creative spirit – all qualities that I find extremely valuable in
my future career. I am inspired to learn more about the unique life
and career of this remarkable woman.
2 Listened to
Desert Island
Discs episode
of Cath Kidston
Known for her floral designs combining the vintage and the
modern, Cath Kidston achieved amazing business success with her
business and brand worth £50 million and 100 shops worldwide.
Japanese are crazy about the brand calling it ‘kawaii’ (cute), a
celebration of cheerfulness. I find it a remarkable success story
based on finding this universal appeal of ‘cheering people up’
through practical design. Listening to her story, including the
obstacles and her vulnerable feelings during growing up her
business, was refreshing and gave me hope. Like her, perhaps I can
nourish my entrepreneurial side one day – all it requires is the
courage and readiness to experiment/fail along with a niche
business idea/solution that makes cheers up people.

HERE IS A PUZZLE:
Which book narrates the entrepreneurial
adventures of the founder of Nike?
-Shoe Dog

HERE IS A PUZZLE:
Who is the founder of Nike?
Tip: He also wrote the book titled Shoe
Dog.
-Phil Knight

I have recently read:
Shoe Dog – Phil Knight’s (Nike) Biography
• 'A refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really
looks like ... It's an amazing tale' Bill Gates
• 'The best book I read last year was Shoe Dog, by Nike's Phil Knight. Phil is a
very wise, intelligent and competitive fellow who is also a gifted storyteller'
Warren Buffett
• In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from
his father and created a company with a simple mission: import
high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes
from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year.
Today, Nike's annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of start-ups, Nike
is the ne plus ultra of all start-ups, and the swoosh has become a
revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and
recognisable symbols in the world today.
• But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a
mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his story. Candid, humble,
wry and gutsy, he begins with his crossroads moment when at 24 he
decided to start his own business. He details the many risks and
daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream - along
with his early triumphs. A memoir rich with insight, humour and
hard-won wisdom, this book is also studded with lessons - about
building something from scratch, overcoming adversity, and
ultimately leaving your mark on the world.

The 3 Friends
Let’s meet Larry, Scott and Brad, and assume they share
similar circumstances.

• Scott makes some small, positive changes daily e.g. reading 10
pages, cutting 125 calories by replacing soda with water, walking an
extra 1,000 steps.
• Brad makes a few poor choices e.g. buying a big TV (to enjoy his
favourite shows), eating more dessert and adding 1 drink per week to
his new bar.
At month 10, there are no perceivable differences.
By month 25, measurable differences can be seen and by
month 31, the differences quickly become stark.
• Scott loses 33.5lbs, gets a promotion and raise, and his
marriage is thriving.
• Larry is exactly in the same space and feeling bitter
about it.
• Brad, on the other hand, puts on 33.5lbs (weighing

Mind-set: How to make 1 million a year
• You have to help a lot of people to make a lot of money.
• To make $1 million in a year, you have to help so many people that your work
generates just about $2,700 every day.
• ($1,000,000 / 365 days = $2,739.73)
• That might seem impossible, but think again.
• What if every person you helped gave you $1? You’d need to help ~2,700 people.
• If everyone you helped gave you $2…now you only need to help ~1,400 people.
• Imagine if they gave you $5….or $10! The number of people you’d need to help
would go down.
• So here’s the deal: you want to be a millionaire? You’ll need $2,740 today,
tomorrow and 363 days after that.
• How can you help many people? How can you reach people who need your help?
• Anything you want in the world can be yours, if only you’d break it down into
tiny little chunks. Daniel DePiazza

 Make three calls. Pick up the phone, send emails, and arrange meetings. Begin the
conversation without knowing where it will lead you.
 Save at least 10% of your income. Set up a new bank account and put 10% into that
account. This account will calm your monkey brain and help you to feel OK about
taking risks. Do not touch this money. It will be part of your wealth for the long term.
 Stop spending time with negative people who bring you down. Make friends with
people who inspire you to achieve your best self. Spend more time having
conversations with people who bring out the best in you. Make a list of people you
currently spend time with, and decide who will stay and who will go. Remember: You
are the average of five people that you most spend time with. These people shape
your perspectives, expand your network, help you access resources, and make you
notice new opportunities.
 Carry $1,000 on you at all times. Your subconscious should be accustomed to the
idea of abundance, assets, and opportunities (instead of scarcity, austerity, and
risks).
 Do not have a lunch alone. Buy a mininum of two lunches every week for people you
do not yet know. Build a good network of people who are not customers, clients, or
old friends. Invite other entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, artists, or people
you can learn from. Tune out from the news. Give up on TV, papers, traditional media
and news. Your time and energy are very precious — do not waste them on the news.
Use this time and energy to learn and create your assets.
 Keep a journal where you make a list of your priorities, high-value tasks, goals,
ideas, and dreams. Plan your vacations first. Work out where you want to travel,
visualize your holiday, decide on your budget and itinerary. Reverse-engineer your
work to serve the lifestyle you want to live. This will allow you to be more productive
and creative.

PRECARITY: A SAVAGE JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF EMBODIED CAPITALISM
BY VASSILIS TSIANOS / DIMITRIS PAPADOPOULOS
• PRECARIOUS LIFE CONDITIONS ARE EXPERIENCED BY THE SINGULAR
LABOURER TODAY.
THE EMBODIED EXPERIENCE OF PRECARITY IS CHARACTERISED BY:
• (A) VULNERABILITY: THE STEADILY EXPERIENCE OF FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT ANY
FORM OF PROTECTION;
• (B) HYPERACTIVITY: THE IMPERATIVE TO ACCOMMODATE CONSTANT AVAILABILITY;
• (C) SIMULTANEITY: THE ABILITY TO HANDLE AT THE SAME THE DIFFERENT TEMPI
AND VELOCITIES OF MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES;
• (D) RECOMBINATION: THE CROSSINGS BETWEEN VARIOUS NETWORKS, SOCIAL

CRUEL OPTIMISM
• A RELATION OF CRUEL OPTIMISM EXISTS WHEN SOMETHING YOU DESIRE IS
ACTUALLY AN OBSTACLE TO YOUR FLOURISHING.
• OFFERING BOLD NEW WAYS OF CONCEIVING THE PRESENT, LAUREN BERLANT
DESCRIBES THE CRUEL OPTIMISM THAT HAS PREVAILED SINCE THE 1980S, AS
THE SOCIAL-DEMOCRATIC PROMISE OF THE POSTWAR PERIOD IN THE UNITED
STATES AND EUROPE HAS RETRACTED.
• PEOPLE HAVE REMAINED ATTACHED TO UNACHIEVABLE FANTASIES OF THE
GOOD LIFE —WITH ITS PROMISES OF UPWARD MOBILITY, JOB SECURITY,
POLITICAL AND SOCIAL EQUALITY, AND DURABLE INTIMACY —DESPITE
EVIDENCE THAT LIBERAL-CAPITALIST SOCIETIES CAN NO LONGER BE
COUNTED ON TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE THEIR
LIVES “ADD UP TO SOMETHING.”
• ARGUING THAT THE HISTORICAL PRESENT IS PERCEIVED AFFECTIVELY
BEFORE IT IS UNDERSTOOD IN ANY OTHER WAY, BERLANT TRACES AFFECTIVE
AND AESTHETIC RESPONSES TO THE DRAMAS OF ADJUSTMENT THAT UNFOLD
AMID TALKS OF PRECARITY, CONTINGENCY, AND CRISIS.
• SHE SUGGESTS THAT OUR STRETCHED-OUT PRESENT IS CHARACTERIZED BY
NEW MODES OF TEMPORALITY, AND SHE EXPLAINS WHY TRAUMA THEORY—
WITH ITS FOCUS ON REACTIONS TO THE EXCEPTIONAL EVENT THAT SHATTERS
THE ORDINARY—IS NOT USEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE WAYS THAT
PEOPLE ADJUST OVER TIME, ONCE CRISIS ITSELF HAS BECOME ORDINARY.
• CRUEL OPTIMISM IS A REMARKABLE AFFECTIVE HISTORY OF THE PRESENT.
