Test.. Test.. And then, Test! As legend @DavidOgilvyX stressed: "Never stop testing, and your advertising will never stop improving."
In other words, we need to challenge our assumptions about our customers and market, including the conclusions we draw from our own campaigns..
Your Dream: Conceive it.. and it is! All in your hands.. and mind: The more vivid your goal is - and specific, measurable, etc. the more likely you are to take action..
Bob Proctor once said:
“If you can conceive it in your mind, then it can be brought to the physical world.”
So you have analyzed & visualized your findings, ready to deliver to your client / audience.. Let's first contemplate these humbling words from a great mind - #Einstein: "If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it enough."
Forget data, recall everyday exchanges!
Striking: 134K students from #Vietnam have conquered new horizons, making the 4th largest learning-oriented diaspora in a changing world right behind giants India and China. More facts & thoughts following the recent business forum 🇨🇦🇻🇳: https://t.co/OauF5JOb3k

Irrational yet effective: Restarting a system often resolves a glitch. That also applies to the more complex beings we are, as novelist @ANNELAMOTT put it: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you."
Sleep deep!
Trip To the heart of our cosmic backyard: Unmanned, immaterial, and real, not mushroom induced!
This week's escape is aboard laser beams sent by the @esa and immortalized by Anthony Berdeu 📸 My thoughts on the breakthrough: https://t.co/uo2qjxWrZ5
This Is Better: Clarity! As @donaldmiller put it: “People don’t buy the best products; they buy the products they can understand the fastest.”
Let's forget products and services for a moment and recall your best moments as a communicator.. My thoughts: https://t.co/5c8Fo8tZlm
Long story short, quoting the metaphoric words of @BrennerMichael: "If great content is the hero, then banners are the villain."
Shall I add.. Ugly, too, as we crave authenticity and.. more stories, as the grow children we are.. My thoughts on the duel: https://t.co/eoYJ1IEjha
No matter the circumstances we never chose, we still make our lives day after day.. “In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” as #Roosevelt once said.
Data governance specialist Veda Thomas Bawo:
“You can have all of the fancy tools, but if [your] data quality is not good, you're nowhere.”
How do you know if it's good enough?
Interesting trend confirmed by @StatCan_eng: More than 1/4 of businesses had purchased cloud services or cloud storage in 2025-Q2 compared to 16.1% reported during the same period of the year before.
If you're invested in the cloud industry as a vendor, keep it.. Up!
Let's keep it short and real, quoting these timeless words @DrMayaAngelou: "Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for."
In other words, "when you run from them, they chase you", well most probably.. Get a break & Keep inspired
AI: Turing Test Passed! Thought, not a turning point - Yet.. Yes, the breakthrough is massive, reported by a recent study on @PNASNews, but.. we know for sure that AI still doesn't.. Know, it can not think, reflect, and decide the way we do. More on it: https://t.co/O5tb2J0sqd
Beauty isn't enough speaking of #design: Supposed to.. talk, wink, trigger, provoke, validate, and acknowledge its audience beyond the imaginative yet limited world of its creator. #Branding specialist @frank_chimero put it plainly: “People ignore design that ignores people.”
Chocolatier and businessman Milton Hershey once said: "Give them quality. That's the best kind of advertising."
You probably don't offer chocolate, but still, you can leave your customers with a memorable, savory experience they would be happy to share and recommend..
Control: A Matter of Focus! As the old saying goes:
“You can’t control the wind, but you can control the sails”.
Needless to say, it goes the same with our interactions dealing with challenging characters.. We are not perfect either, so what could we change about ourselves?
Forget spreadsheets.. and let's consider this entertaining experiment once recommended by biostatistician Karl Pearson: "The record of a month's roulette playing at Monte Carlo can afford us material for discussing the foundations of knowledge."
Random does't mean meaningless!
Up to 9/10 firms "claim to have an information management framework" according to @AvePoint. Beautiful, but that doesn't mean an equal level of awareness about data governance & protection: "Only 30% say it classifies and protects data effectively." according to the same source.
Long story short, best slammed by psychologist Bryan Robinson @brtherapist: "Work addiction is the best-dressed mental health problem."
Void, avoidance, inability to enjoy life and "loved" ones, anxiety.. to name a few. My thoughts on the #HustleCulture: https://t.co/tL85RnFEOM
During our last week's escape, we invited ourselves to a distant world unraveled by the lens of Sir James Webb telescope. Today, we get back to our backyard, Mars, wandering aboard @NASAPersevere till we stumbled upon this wonder: https://t.co/OouWAIcfyo
