    It's About Experiences, Not Logos
    A lot of marketing experts (self-proclaimed) would have you believe that a logo and corporate identity package is all there is to a brand. I know some businesses which want to change their logo regularly in hopes that it will somehow magically improve their brand and their business. Woe are they.Smart marketers, however, know that the brand is the sum total of what people think ab
    ... Once there was a couple with serious problems in their marriage. They asked the advice of a counselor in a last attempt to resolve their conflict. After some sessions, the counselor confronted the couple with the bottleneck; a difference in emotional age between the two. It appeared that one had the emotional age of 18 whereas the other’s emotional development got stuck in early childhood. The couple was married for quite some years, had become parents and their children were soon to leave home ...

    Life is (not) a moving staircase where you move gradually from one level to another without noticing it. Sometimes it looks like that, but in order to manage change we need to be aware that the different levels are not accessed without taking a step that brings you to the next level as in a game, where each level has its own difficulties and challenges.

    Everyone can recognize the fact that a person’s life traverses several stages -- infancy to the old age, writes Christopher Alexander in his twenty-sixth pattern (A pattern language) called “life cycles.” Each stage is a discrete reality -- according to Alexander – with its own special compensations and difficulties. He quotes Erik Erikson, a Danish psychologist who has categorized these (eight) stages in the life of a human being:

    1. The infant that deals with trust vs. mistrust. The relationship between the infant and the mother. The struggle for confidence that the environment will nourish.
    2. The very young child. Autonomy vs. doubt. The relationship between the child and parents. The challenge to stand on one’s own feet in the experiences of shame and doubt.
    3. The Child. Initiative vs. guilt. The relationship between the family and friends. Search for action and construction checked by fear and guilt of own aggressions.
    4. The youngster. Industry vs. inferiority. Relationships to the neighbourhood, school.
    5. Youth. Identity vs.identity confusion. Relationships to peer and “outgroups” and the search for models of adult life.
    6. Young adults. intimacy vs. isolation. Partners in friendship, sex, work. The struggle to commit oneself.

      Art Logo Design
      Art logo designs are the most amusing kind of logos. They are colorful and have amazing designs pertaining to their industry. This fact cannot be denied that logo designs are a part of the company. So much that they become the recognition of your company.

        Learning to Speak the English Language
        When you speak in your native language, you don't have to think about the grammar or the words you use. Correct sentences seem to just come to you. Your brain uses sentences you've already seen or heard. If you want to learn to speak the English language fluently, you have to learn it the way you learned your native language, by reading and listening.Reading and listening to the E

        According to Erikson, each stage has a development task and a person should resolve this task before he can move forward to a next phase. As mentioned by Alexander -- these stages are discrete realities. We need to make sure that we are aware when we finish one stage and when we enter a next stage. Each stage has its own difficulties and compensations. If we do not manage to overcome the difficulties of one stage, will will not be able to manage the challenges of the next stage.
