Koht: IT Kolledž (Rävala pst 14), ruum 113
Esineja(d): Anu Virovere
Dimensioon: Loovus ja innovatsioon, Tallinn
Kirjeldus: Kas edukaks saamiseks piisab ainult koolis hästi õppimisest või on selleks ka midagi muud vaja? Mis on olulisem, kas head teoreetilised teadmised või oskus oma mõtteid edasi anda? Või mõlemad?
Selle hooaja esimesele Klapid eest! õppesarja loengule tuleb akadeemilisest intelligentsusest (IQ), emotsionaalsest intelligentsusest (EQ) ja sotsiaalsest intelligentsusest (SQ) meie tegevuses ja tegevuse edukuses rääkima Anu Virovere. Analüüsitakse, millest sõltub suhetega toimetulek, eesmärgikindlus ja edu ettevõtmistes.
Anu Virovere on teinud nii akadeemilist kui ka praktilist karjääri nii füüsikas kui ka psühholoogias. Viimastel aastatel on ta EBSi ja TTÜ õppejõuna kokku puutunud ärieetika, organisatsioonikäitumise, läbirääkimiste, meeskonnatöö, ärialase suhtlemise ning vestlus- ja väljenduskunsti teemadega.
Kõigi registreerunute vahel loositakse välja auhind.

Live from Annual Conference
Annual Conference of AIESEC Estonia – day 1
Well, it’s almost an hour past midnight and the first day of the conference is now almost over. There was a open seminar called “Kõik on enda teha” and some really awesome people came to speak about entrepreneurship and how to be successful in the tough business world by doing something good. I managed to listen to two sessions and I really enjoyed them both.
After running some errands and getting back only to see that the seminar had ended already, there was some more free time to prepare for the Official Dinner. It’s a lovely evening when some special people who are in AIESEC and who have been in AIESEC in previous years will say what’s on their mind and how much they enjoy the direction of AIESEC today.
I really liked what one of our alumni said – AIESEC has always been a place where you get to plan a whole lot and do not so much. However, it’s great, because in the life ahead, you get to do so much and plan so little that in the end, it all evens out so well :)

Then it was time for the awards. I’m really not an award-getting-kind-of-person :D Well, today to my big surprise, I got two ;) The first one being Member excellence award for contributing a lot to my local committee and the second one was Team excellence award for our EB team. I’m soooo happy cause I didn’t really even imagined I could get these awards :) Thank you so much for all of you, it really means a lot to me.
Now it’s past midnight, memories from Tallinn are slowly beginning to fade away while looking at all these tired people who are ready to rock the next three days as much as they can! It’s bloody cold though :D
So, tomorrow in the early morning we’ll start our sessions, all the good stuff is ahead ;) But until then, sweet dreams and rock on!
passing by?
Hihi, aga mina olin seal, kui seda pilti tehti, mis selles postituses on :D Kui see nüüd on ikka sel teisipäeval tehtud :P
remember me?
Year 1995 – my family got it’s first computer that had windows on it. Really cool one and there was so much what we could do with it that we couldn’t with the one that we had earlier. For some reason, it became my favourite really fast and basically since then I was the one in our family that spent the most time using it. So what was I doing there? Mostly, I guess, chatting. At that time there was no MSN or Skype or such, so mostly it was in mIRC and ICQ (I seek you :D). Sometimes perhaps I used some other software as well or websites, but mostly it was those two.
I did like to chat with people from outside of Estonia mostly. That’s also when I got to know Marc (he lives in the USA, he visited me in Estonia in 1999 and I visited him in the USA in 2002) and Dylan from Canada with whom I’m still in contact every now and then. So these relations go waaaay back. There have been times for a year or two when they didn’t catch up with our technology here in Estonia and they didn’t reply to my e-mails as often as I wished and didn’t have time to chat either.
Anyways, those are the ones from out of country :D But then there were a lot of guys with whom I spoke with online all through middle and highschool as well. None of them hang around for that long that any strong relations could form and I’d still be in contact with them now. However, some of them did come to visit me in Viljandi :P and ofcourse, as I had grandma in Tallinn, I also met some of them in Tallinn. The thrill of it was always fun – it’s like a blind date when you set up a meeting, let the other person know how you look like and always arrange with one of your friends to call after 30 mins of the meeting just in case you need to bail out :D
Well, at one point I didn’t care for the chatrooms anymore, no meetings, no visits to Tallinn and so on. Those that I used to chat with were just history, something in the past.
Up until last semester, or the one before that, when I took this one class and it was taught by one of the guys from my past :D I guess we didn’t communicate that often then, I do remember that I met him once in Tallinn. And that’s about it. Just recently I happened to have another class with this other guy, and those two knew each other. So I mentioned it once that “oh, you know, I used to know this teacher” and so on :D Well, guess what happened more than half year later ;) The teacher came to talk to me and asked me why didn’t I say anything in the class :D I guess we both thought it awkward to talk about it and ask each other – umm, do I know you from somewhere?
Well, the most important learning point for me here is that… I’m meeting so many new people each and every day. Through AIESEC, waiting in line for the exam at school, asking homework from that person in the classroom – and you never know when it might happen that you meet that person again somewhere. I mean, I’m not chatting my heart away now like I used to, but there are so many other places that have just replaced chatting online. And if any of you meet me one day again – being it awkward or not – ask me that silly question “do i know you from somewhere?” and get it over with ;) It’ll help solve lots of weird situations that might come from not asking :P
care to scroll?
This is something I’ve always wanted to hear and what’s more important – to see proven. Having done quite some webpages, I’ve always tried to put things in one page (especially if it’s something for a company or such, didn’t care that much for my personal page) thinking that people don’t really care to scroll.
Nowadays, scrolling has become a natural practice in surfing the web. Scrolling is also associated with web 2.0 design because big, clear text and “spaciousâ€, “clean†content implies longer web pages.
http://blog.clicktale.com/?p=19
In the last few days while studying stuff about web services, I’ve had to surf around the net quite a lot. And I must say, that a lot of the pages I’ve seen have been the kind where I have to scroll. As for the everyday internet users who don’t have to look through that many tutorials, they wouldn’t even have to scroll that much. It’s just a matter of what you’re looking for in the page. Besides, people tend to get more and more experienced in reading the websites by going in, finding the info they need and leave the unnecessary things unread.
So, all-in-all, I think it’s great news for me and in the times to come, when there’s enough important information that has to be on the website that I’m making, I won’t be so worried about the scrolling part anymore :)
ready to rumble?
kell on 5 krdi 35 noh :D eile ei saanudki magama, lõpetasin projektiga kell 6, õppisin 4h eksamiks ja kl 12 oli see pidulik hetk siis käes, kui pastapliiats käes värisevi käsi õppejõu antud lehe pealt küsimusi lugesin, mille kohta ma justkui midagi ei teadnud. Aga kõik lõppes õnnelikult. Sain eksami eest max punktid endalegi üllatuseks ja aine koondhindeks 5. See semester siis ses suhtes veidi edukas olnud, et eelmine eksam mille tegin, andis teisele ainele hindeks 4. Noh, pole paha :D
Aga asi on väljunud kontrolli alt. Magasin päeval 2+1+1h ja suutsin sellegipoolest olla üleval nii kaua kuni esimene buss akna alt mööda sõitis. Raske on see eksamisess. Kusjuures see on vist üks esimesi, kus ma väga tõsiselt pingutan ja ennast ületan :D Või noh, see nüüd kõlas vähe imelikult, aga ikkagi. Ma olen alati teadnud, et teised inimesed motiveerivad mind, aga seekord on kuidagi eriti sedasorti aeg, et ma kohe tahan asjad tehtud saada. Justkui ma ei veaks ainult iseennast alt vaid kõiki teisi ka…
Tegelikult võib asi ka vabalt selles olla, et ma olen nüüd alles aru saama hakanud, et mul on tõepoolest ainult 6 ainet veel teha :) ja neist tahan ka 2 veel enne reedet hinnatud saada. Lõpp on lähedal, aga samas veel ka päris kaugel… eks näis.
Homme tuleb aga tegus päev, st täna, aga hiljem, kui ära magan oma une. Ja kui nädalavahetus tuleb, siis magan kasvõi 17h järjest :D
do you even care?
Ma arvan, et see on aja märk. Triin kirjutab oma hallist nimekirjast ja Liisu kirjutab, kui raske on oodata sõprade poolt seda esimest kontakti ning ise mitte sõprade elu kohta uurida. Mina isegi kirjutasin mitte just palju aega tagasi, kuidas mulle tundub, et asi on ainult minus, või teistes või kes-teab-kelles. Aga ma arvan, et see on lihtsalt ühest küljest aja märk. Sõprusega ongi ju nii, et ainult aeg paneb ta proovile (no ja rasked hetked ka) ja kui mõlemapoolset huvi pole – no mida siis sellest üldse loota. Minulgi on ette tulnud rohkem kui küll neid hetki, kus ma mõtlen, et ei – nüüd aitab, mina enam nende järel ei jookse, las otsivad ise mind üles. Teisest küljest võetuna aga… meil on kõigil omad elud elada, üks asi ajab teist taga, kogu aeg tuleb aina sõpru/tuttavaid juurde ja katsu sa siis kõigiga lähedane sõber olla ja kogu aeg kursis olla, mis toimub.
Mina otsin endiselt nende inimestega kontakti, kes mulle tähtsad on. Õigemini, väga tähtsad. Sest vähem tähtsate jaoks ei jätku mul endalgi kontakti otsimiseks aega. Kuigi – hea uudis on see, et tänavuse aasta üheks pisikeseks sooviks oli mul siiski kirja pandud ka see, et ma mõnede vanemate sõpradega püüan uuesti selle sideme leida :)
join the club
oeh, täitsa väsitav on see sess ikka küll… või noh, ma ei teagi, väsitav polegi võib-olla kõige õigem sõna :D
Igatahes on kell 6:54 ja ma umbes tund tagasi lõpetasin projekti realisatsiooniga tegelemise – lihtsalt seepärast, et kui 6 tunni pärast on eksam, mille eest on lihtsalt häbi vähem hinne kui 4 saada, siis võiks selleks ka veidi ette ju valmistuda. Eksole! No nüüd ma siis kuulan oma tänavamüra, mis juba päris suureks on paisunud ja üritan powerpointe ja wordi dokumente läbi lipsida, et meelde tuletada, mida neis loengutes siis õigupoolest räägiti ;)
Uuematest uudistest niipalju, et ma nüüd olen veel tumedam kui varem ja uus sonks on ka laupäevast alates :P Ise olen rahul, aga ema arvas, et juuksevärv on natuke tume. Või mina olen liiga hele, või noh, midagi sarnast igatahes :D
Kui see nädal läbi saab, siis ongi läbi. Selleks korraks :D
joke of the day (night)
hahaha, too funny :D i absolutely LOVE google search – and you know why? Because even the smallest hints you have can lead to some precious information about some people.
For example – it’s moments after midnight when some stranger comes to my msn and asks me whether I want to have sex with him if I’m not dating anyone or smthn. Some other really weird stuff continues and I’m starting to wonder, who the heck is this. The address seems to be familiar, but I don’t have him on my msn list for some reason… well, let the search begin :D I just had an e-mail address and a first name. Somehow I managed to find out the first letter of his last name, then found some pics from his friend’s website and BOOM! I know who you are! It took me good 20 mins tho, but that’s only cause I had to share the fun with a friend of mine. She got a good laugh too before bedtime :D
Anyways, I know it might not be the person who owns the msn address that sent me these messages – it might as well been a friend of his while having a party at the guy’s house. I know these types – whenever they’ve had few drinks, they see that someones msn is open and they take advantage. Sometimes they play along “hey, let’s talk with some ppl on your list and say stupid stuff to them”. Well, think again! In the end, it’s the owner of the address who seemed to send the messages. So you should be ashamed of letting these things happen ;)
After sending me a nice apology, I’m willing to take the following information down. Thank you!

Mis on õnn?
Mis on õnn?
Õnn…
Õnn on lind.
Aga mitte harilik lind.
See on lind, mis on loodud kullatolmust.
See lind
Tuleb kusagilt kaugelt,
Tuleb ja istub su õlale.
Vasakule õlale.
Südame kohale.
Istub sulle see õnnelind -
Sa ei näe teda.
Ainult tunned.
Aga kui sa tahad teda kinni püüda
Ei saa sa teda püüda,
Ei käega
Ega silmusega
Ei ühegi püünisega
Saa sa teda kätte.
Mõnikord õnnelind
Jääb su õlale kauemaks,
Mõnikord vähemaks
Ja kui ta tahab minna, siis ta läheb.
Tõuseb ja kaob õhku.
Võib-olla koguni haihtub õhku.
Keegi ei tea.
