Easy Print In Sharm
The season is starting, and that means marketing, marketing, and marketing. The road race begins for businesses to get out there, and capture their required target markets. The common methodology for this, prior to the opening of Easy Print, was, let’s print flyers thousands of flyers, using offset printing techniques, so we can distribute them all over town town. Surely if one prints 5,000 flyers and distributes them, people will show up to their venue. Isn’t that how it always worked? At Easy Print, and in Europe and the States, that is considered an ultimate waste of money and paper.
Today in Sharm, there are new tools you can use, to ensure your print requirements are made Easy.
To Sharm Parents
I was fortunate enough to become a parent, and what I can say so far is, parenting is a tough job – tougher than any other job, let alone in a place like Sharm, with all its diversities. With this mind, I did a little bit of research. I spent the last 2 weeks having chats with different parents about what their take on parenting in Sharm is like. It was very interesting what I learnt.
My Daughter My Love
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
(Solomon Ibn Gabirol)
Daughters warm your heart.
From the day they are born until the day you hand them over into someone else’s care.
A daughter is truly a blessing, a gift from God.
What do you do when a nervous young man asks your permission to marry your angel?
When you know her heart and wings have already flown into his nest. When you know this nervous young man is worthy of her love? You rejoice.
The happiness you feel is twofold, the first is recognition that she has finally grown up and chosen a partner to accompany her on the most important journey of her life.
IF LOVE IS THE ANSWER CAN YOU PLEASE REPEAT THE QUESTION?
I hold it true, what’er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most, ‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all’
(Alfred Lord Tennyson)
Do you believe in the saying:
“It is Better to Have Loved and Lost, then Never to Have Loved at all?”
To love or not to love? To lose or not to lose a love?
Both of the above have little relevance, none of us choose to fall in love and none of us would choose to lose a love.
Two of life’s greatest treasures, love and friendship.
Personalized Marketing
"Hello (enter your name here) welcome back to the GAP. We have your size of jeans on sale this week." Sounds like a scene from the Tom Cruise movie, "Minority Report," but this type of futuristic personalized marketing is not as far away as many people may think, and even better, it’s coming to you, right here in Sharm. It’s always easier to sell something to someone, when you know who they are, what they like, what they don’t like, and what they have purchased before, from you or from someone else. Personalized marketing makes it cheaper and easier for businesses to reach their target audience. All you need is access to the right people, with the right information, and the right technology.

If may be true, or may not be true, but here is what our findings tell us:

To Sinai With Love
I am sat here at my computer, pondering what I can write about, considering it is the, what I like to call - the red season. This is the time of year, where every Made in China product, starts to turn red. Red flowers, red teddies, red rabbits, red ribbons, red roses, red chocolates, red cheeks, red lace lingerie, and so on and so forth. So I have decided that this article is dedicated to St. Valentine’s, but in a different way. It’s not about how to celebrate a day with sappy couchy, mouchy, love stuff. It’s not about how to influence the mind of consumers by making them feel that Feb. 14th is a day where one is obliged to show their partner how much they are loved. Well, what if on that exact day, one doesn’t feel like love.
It Can Always Be Worse
I took a drive around Sharm the morning after the storm, thinking that what I had been through was the worst ever. My house was leaking all night, my windows were shattered, my car almost drowned, and outside my house was all muddy.
I had mixed feelings – there was a sense of sorrow, yet a strange sense of happiness in myself – it was almost like I was happy I went through something like that and survived. I grew up in Kenya, where it used to rain a lot – most of April, and the day always keep going on normally. Less than 12 hours of rain here left me feeling like my world was almost tumbling down.
When do you know enough is enough?
Hello Muriel,
When do you know enough is enough? I mean form every aspect, dealing
with clients at work, or dealing with a partner, or a mother with a
kid - when do you draw the line because you just cant take it anymore?
Do you keep trying to make things work, or is that an illusion? Do you
listen to your gut, or do you listen to your mind. When is enough,
enough?
Thanks,
Thomas
Hello Thomas,
Sounds like you have already reached the end of your tolerance level.
Once you start feeling like a door mat, frustrated, nervous and as if no one is listening to you, it is probably because they are not listening to you.
Raja Yoga
Raja Yoga is codified from esoteric practices that are thousands of years old. It has developed several branches to accommodate different personality styles. The major yogas are Bhakti (a devotional approach that opens the heart, it is best for those who are primarily emotionally-oriented), Jnana (an intellectual approach that leads to wisdom, it is best for those who are primarily mentally-oriented), Karma (an active, service-oriented approach, it is best for those who are more extroverted and who find meaning mostly through relationship),
