Nothing is permanent, the statue suggests, enjoy the moment. To everybody who visits the city, it’s likely to be the abiding memory of their trip: a moving (in every sense of the word) statue which slowly brings two lovers together for a short embrace, only for them to part almost immediately. To the people of Batumi, the city on Georgia’s Black Sea coast where it has since found a permanent home, it’s Ali and Nino. Officially, it’s still known as Man and Woman, the name with which it made its debut at the Venice Biennale more than a decade ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After all, the boy had come in with the older lads, and it’s not as if he looked like an apprentice. And if truth be told, he should not have been at the pub drinking-but the landlord didn’t mind, probably didn’t even know. Not that he’d dare say anything-no, he had to keep his mouth shut, because he was lucky to have a job at all, so there was nothing to whine about. He wondered about the aspirin and the emulsion as he walked home from the pub, and deep down inside himself, he knew that one had something to do with the other, though his mates on the job hadn’t complained. How many weeks was it now? And how many aspirin powders had he taken, every night when he arrived back at his digs-a shared room in another lodging house in another town? Another town with airfields close by, and buildings to be painted with that viscous gray emulsion. The boy had not had a day without a headache in weeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hesse’s poetic, calm text is matter-of-fact in conveying the love between parent and child and the bonding occurring through their shared work. ![]() ![]() This little boy is only 5 or 6, but he’s a real help to his dad in packing up their lunch, assisting with his duties, and cleaning out their lunchbox when they return home. By daybreak they are back home, falling asleep snuggled up in a cozy recliner, both dreaming of riding the motorcycle together over the water of the bay. They eat sandwiches in a courtyard together, and then the boy reads and naps on a couch in the library while his father continues cleaning. At first the boy shoots baskets as his dad mops the floor of the gym, but later the child works alongside his father as they listen to a baseball game on the radio. The unnamed boy narrates the story in present tense as the pair ride together on the dad’s motorcycle over a bridge and past a bay to the empty school. A little boy accompanies his single-parent father to his evening job as the custodian at a large middle school in this serene, evocative story. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As entrepreneurs, we also know that business schools (and universities in general) are stale, old institutions that don’t provide the value that the claim to.Īttending one of the top three Business schools will leave you in around $150,000 worth of debt, but also according to this financial times article, you’ll also lose $100,000 due to loss of salary or opportunity costs. Business has quite a few very important ideas and principles, learn these and partner them with common sense then you’re good to at least go and start making a name for yourself. Josh Kaufman, the author starts off by explaining something that most entrepreneurial people know to be true, that you do NOT need to attend business school to learn how to do, or build a successful business. That statement, however, gives more of an incite into top business schools than the book itself. Obviously the book is not comparable with an MBA……. This book’s title is perfect in the sense that it’s a great mixture of truth and marketing. ![]() ![]() In the midst of her heartbreak, she seeks solace from her new friend, the disabled gardener Hartley Wade.
