Sir Winston Churchill….Moving On toward the 2022!!!…The Wolf Caravan! Thanks to the curious creative vision of Ms. Jeannie Davis , our COO of OIS&Associates LLC, I found this image, -up- , that dramatizes with the greatest sensitivity the reality of existence, where the presence in any enterprise, no matter the Quest, the forces of survival display infinite wisdom and intelligence. It is necessary that you carefully observe the image of the Wolf Caravan and be able to absorb the gigantic reality and responsibility of being a leader in the battle for survival, far, far from the gigantic Oil Painting or Frescoes , hanging against the wall of Museum, where the Heroic Epics show the Great Leader at the Front of its people. What a great example of clever unreality! __O__  Welcome to 2022, and I offer you words of wisdom on what Sir Winston pondered on Leadership… If you're going through hell, keep going.  We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give....

Alea Iacta Est.  The Die is Cast. There is no way back! In general, the greater or lesser possibility of having had a good primary or secondary education in our lives, contributes to marking the pros and cons that characterize the unique and indivisible essence of our existence as rational beings... or not? The Economy, whatever it is and has been since its inception, and continues to be a career that billions of men and women do not lose sleep over, although sometimes we observe it when we feel that something is not going as well as it should be!  According to Who? Several of us wonder!!   Beyond the fact that the prices of basic goods and services soar, it is wise to say that we do not put aside, observe with greater interest, within the equation Cost vs. Benefits, other condiments or spices, which aromatizes us in the conclusion that something is not going well! As for example, the pandemic, or the meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, the COP26 Summit that brings togeth...

Alea Iacta Est. La suerte esta echada.  No hay  vuelta atrás!  En general, la mayor o menor posibilidad de haber tenido una buena educación primaria o secundaria en nuestras vidas, contribuye a marcar los pro y los contras que caracterizan la esencia única e indivisible de nuestra existencia como seres racionales……. o no?. La Economía , sea lo que sea y haya sido desde su creación, y continúe  siendo una carrera que a billones de hombres y mujeres, no nos quita el sueño, a veces la observamos cuando sentimos que algo no anda tan bien como debiera andar!!.  ¿Según quien?, varios nos preguntaríamos!! Más allá de que los precios de los bienes y servicios básicos se disparen, es sabio decir que no dejamos de lado, observar con mayor interés, dentro de la Ecuación Costo vs. Beneficios , otros condimentos o especias, lo que nos aromatiza en la conclusión de que algo…… no va bien !! Como por ejemplo, la pandemia, o el encuentro en Glasgow, Escocia, la cumbre COP26 qu...

¡Quiero dar la Cara!  What is Stoicism... The Last Frontier!! In its beginning, Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. It is a philosophy of personal eudaimonic virtue ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. Thinkers, true philosophers , have evolved the morphological interpretation of the definition of Stoicism. Today it is affirmed that it is the philosophical doctrine that practices the search for balance using virtue and reason before the passions that disturb life, essentially the negatives takes over the environment. As such, its object is to achieve the daily joy of living and wisdom , serenely eliminating the enslaving need to protect with life itself, material comforts, goods and fortunes never essential.  Through the philosophy of Stoicism, we can travel to the infinite and eternal Last Frontier , which we will never reach, but certainly we will enjoy the ...

  What does wine do to a woman? Studies have found that having a glass a day of red wine can actually be a healthy attribute to women. Improving cardiovascular health, decreasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure-not to mention being a de-stressing agent. The key is moderation as not to create any other risk factors.  Millennials are into wine, but the industry hasn’t figured that out yet.  Marketed around tasting notes and points, instead of any sense of fun, wine is still perceived as intimidating. Grape varieties, regions and industry terms can be hard to grasp. To make it more approachable, we should meet the new wine drinkers, millennials and Generation Z, where they are: on such platforms as TikTok and Snapchat, and apps such as Vivino.  Millennials drink wine, but their approach is vastly different than previous generations, who chose bottles based on various publications and their scoring systems.   Millennials use technology and s...

''Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the Bible says love your enemy!''                                                                    -Frank Sinatra                            Bitcoin is amazingly transformative because its the first time in the entire history of the world in which anybody can now send or receive any amount of money, with anyone else, anywhere on the planet, without having to ask permission from any bank or government.  If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.  If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chose the side of the opressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not aprreciate your neutrality.  I am a dreamer. ...

Old wood is best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. San Francisco & Wine! What a Trip! There are memories and memories, but this one impressed me one night at the Wine Cellar, The Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, Florida, USA, when a tipsy old timer shouted: “I surfed from Baja California to San Francisco when there were only nine or ten surfers on the entire Pacific Coast. I spent three-month summer vacations in our High Sierra cabin 60 miles from the nearest road. I drank milk from my own ranch.” “Capital eccentricity!” Validity, absurd and boring, even if I am in front of my own common sensibility”, I said to myself within the huge room of my silence. I hear this when I was enjoying a glass of Robert Mondavi, Opus One 1986, an expensive and very valuable wine. They use only the best of the best grapes. This great wine was born from the collaboration between Baron Phillipe Rothchild and Robert Mondavi, two of the most respected names in the wi...
