Frankenstein Genskab (Review)


What I like in art is its thinking, boosting and energizing power to our mental grasp. Besides, the voice of art is very robust, however dubious at the same time. You can perceive it however you like and feel it, prejudiced by your own real circumstances, your moral sensibility at that moment, or just enjoy it excluding any reasoning and logic behind. Besides, nobody can say you perceive it wrong. Had a bite of it last week, the slice of my birth day present. “Frankenstein Genskabt”(Frankenstein reborn) was the art. Watched it with pleasure. Couldn’t stay away from writing my own reflection upon it, as it made me think, fantasize, imagine and criticize.
So, here is my own review on it.

Do We Really Need Self-Confidence Boosting Advices?

Often we are given Self-Confidence Boosting Advices from lecturing books, and the self-help sections in weekly magazines. Confidence, usually positively associated with character strength  is rarely examinedfrom its backside. But where does confidence come from? Take a look with me, and tell me whether you agree with me upon it.  This will be my advice on confidence.
On Poul Krugman’s blog, I have recently read his own reflections upon his own career choices. Being a columnist at New York Time, a leading economist among academics, a professor, an author and editor of bestselling books, and not least, a Nobel Prize Laureate, he is nominated for a Secretary of Treasury position.

The power of our sexual impulses…at work

We often underestimate and neglect the power of our sexual impulses at work. We have dress codes, social norms and clear limit on it. Often, the topic of sex at work is unmentionable, flirt is no-go, so is sexually appealing clothing, make-up and behavior.

 But sometimes I feel that sexual influence is just all around, even if we don’t see it. From the job interviews, to the firings, a person's looks or movements, or their voice or smell attract attention- thus having an impact on somebody’s willingness to hire/fire, cooperate, help, promote and share information. Moreover, the attraction may be enhanced by a person's adornments, clothing, perfume, hair style and anything else which can attract the sexual (let’s focus on non-innocent) as well as non-sexual interest of another person. This attraction forms the environment on which we build our relationships on.
