You think you don’t get writers block? We all do.
Friends holding you back?
When you realize your ambitions and reality depend on your behaviour, looking at your friends can tell you a lot about what you’re doing and where you’re going. Maybe you’re the one in the group that continuously has a thousand ideas for companies, movies etc. And your friends applaud every thought, but never do anything to stimulate that. When you try to start something, they want to get you to come over and relax. Maybe smoke, drink, play video games…
Whatever it may be, it’s taking away from your goals. Eventually you have to make some solid decisions, and pursue what you need to in order to achieve. There’s time to sit back and relax when you are where you intend to be. If that’s not where you currently are, change it.
How Rogers disappointed the masses with the iPhone in Canada’s launch
As with any other day, you expect that companies and corporations are intelligent enough and plan well enough to keep their supply up with the demand of customers. Yes, of course we understand the marketing ideas behind keeping people waiting, wanting and anticipating a product. But come on, we’ve waited since the initial announcement, and the phone, like previous iPhones, has come out in Canada after the US, UK etc.
This morning I woke up at 8, not too early, I wasn’t planning on being seen as an Apple fanboy or anything. I mean I wanted the phone, but I wasn’t willing to line up for hours. At around 9 I set off, I took the bus and looked outside a closed Rogers store. No customers. I saw the next Rogers store, maybe 30 people outside (bear in mind this was a large phone store) and then I stopped outside Futureshop where a handful waited.
A Futureshop employee came out of the store and started running down the line, apparently they had ample amounts of iPhone 4′s for Bell and Telus customers, but only 5 for Rogers customers. Nice one.
In contrast the Apple store in the Pacific Centre mall seemed well enough stocked. The line up outside continued for the entire mall, out the door and down Granville street. If only I’d put my faith in Apple and not Rogers.
