How to Win Friends and Influence People

You've Only Got 3 Seconds

• za vrijeme fakulteta sam trošio puno vremena u self help i business coaching svijetu (čitajući knjige). Ovo su jedine dvije kojima sam se vraćao.
  Malcolm Gladwell je isto ok, ali njegove knjige su bile više anegdotalne i zabavnog karaktera. Nije da sam nešto naučio tbh.

I am currently learning Croatian and I have used several books in the process.

This book is by far the best and most straightforward, "Complete Croatian": https://www.bol.com/nl/p/complete-croatian-teach-yourself/9200000030747470/

You may also want to take a look at "Fluent Forever". I would follow and use all of the strategies in there. The book was created by an engineer who became a multilingual opera singer. Engineers are highly efficient at learning extremely complex subjects, due to their training in solving complex problems: https://www.amazon.com/Fluent-Forever-Learn-Language-Forget/dp/0385348118/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1521216233&sr=1-1&keywords=fluent+forever

Whatever you do, don't watch The Weight of Chains. Please.

edit: you might be interested in Balkan Battlegrounds: A Military History of the Yugoslav Conflict, I haven't read it yet but I know it has cool maps and it's presumably well sourced.

Uredba: eto ponosam sam što imam jedno od najnepopularnijih mišljenja u threadu. Ne trebate mi se zahvaljivati što stavljam OC na stol i potičem raspravu. Kys



Veliki broj današnjih homoseksualaca su ili mentalno bolesni ljudi ili im je "homoseksualnost" izlika za promiskuitet i kojekakve "coping mechanisms" za mentalne bolesti/traume. Naravno da postoje normalni ljudi koje jednostavno samo privlači isti spol, i dok ti ta osoba ne kaže da je gay ne bi ni znao. Čudno je da 1% populacije ima takvu reprezentaciju u svim serijama/filmovima, kao gle haha on je gej al je TAKO KUL I FEBJULUS ajmo zaboravit na činjenicu da su to de facto moralne i zdravstvene ruine, i nastaviti gledat will n grace haha kak je smijesan ovaj gej covjek wow bas je kao mi normalni ljudi...ti si protiv gej brakova?? Koj kurac katolibanski bigot brak je tak i tak samo ugovor, pa šta onda ako gejevi mogu posvajati djecu NEMA RAZLIKE IZMEDU STRAIGHT I GAY RODITELJA HALOO??

Koja je šansa da upravo čitam The Drunkard's Walk?

Isto tako molio bih izračun koja je šansa da sam upravo jutros pročitao poglavlje koje završava ovako:

> So in this case the chances that a positive test meant I was infected...

A sljedeće počinje ovako:

> Baye's theory shows that a probability...

jel se možda može naći ovo ?

Relevantniji bi bio link na Amazon i knjigu. Recenzije su svakojake, rijetko kad vidim ovako ravnomjernu raspodjelu ocjena na Amazonu.

They have Croatian on Memrise.

You can also get these books: 1, 2

You need both because the red one doesn't do grammar, which is the hardest part.

Maybe there's a Croatian Catholic church if you live in a big city. Or a Serbian Orthodox one. (The languages are different, but a lot is the same, except that Serbian uses Cyrillic too.) They probably have classes.

Also visit /r/croatian, /r/Serbian

Martijarhat i patrijarhat se mogu promatrati kao različita sredstva za uređenje obiteljsnih odnosa; kao generalni okvir koji ima svoju svrhu i namjenu.

1. Učlani se u neki društveni hobi. Npr. ples, yoga, sport, tečaj kuhanja, anime klub, tečaj jezika itd. Tako ćeš riješiti ljudski kontakt.
   
   
2. Kad si već student, iskoristi tu priliku i odi kod sveučilišnog psihologa. Meni je žao što nisam.
   
   Meni je osobno užasno pomoglo čitanje. Konkretno Mark Manson, a konkretnije njegova knjiga The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck inspirirana ovim blog postom. Ne postoji bolja self-help knjiga. Razumno, to the point, bez sranja i konkretno.
   
   Nikad nisam bio u prilici kad nisam imao najbolje frendove i čak mi je frend nedavno rekao da smo ga ja i frend "spasili" jer zbog nas ima društvene krugove. Inače bi završio bez prijatelja i ljudskog kontakta. Tako da ja nemam to iskustvo, ali razumijem preko frenda koliko je ozbiljno.

Investiranje samo po sebi označuje odnos između prinosa i rizika. Dionice su povijesno gledano najbolja štedno-ulagačka klasa. Posljednjih 100+ godina, s "eksplozijom" kapitalizma, bogatstvo svijeta se višestruko nagomlilao, što se očituje i kroz dionice (imovina koja stvara prinos). Pogledaj samo ovo. Dakle 129 puta veći return u dionicama nego u obveznicama.

U tom kontekstu, dionički fondovi su rizičniji i volatilniji od ova tri no s njima možeš očekivati najveći prinos, mješoviti je balansiran, a obveznički "najsigurniji" iako s njim možeš očekivati najmanji prinos. I Warren Buffett "običnim" (retail) investitorima sugerira pasivno investiranje u indexne fondove koji prate npr. S&P500 pa baci oko na to. U svakom slučaju prije svega, pročitaj neke od poznatijih knjiga (Intelligent Investora izbjegavaj kao prvu knjigu); pokušaj s npr. 1 2 3. Nakon njih baci oko na Intelligent Investora i dobro čitaj komentare Jasona Zweiga unutar same knjige.

Sori na kasnom odgovoru. Za fotografiju je najbolje potražiiti sadržaj o kompoziciji i boji. Iskreno, radije bi ti preporučio knjige od Burne Hogartha, pogotovo Dynamic Light and Shade. Knjige iz likovnih umjetnosti će ti daleko više pomoći oko fotografije nego knjige o fotografiji.

Što se tiče režije, scenaristike i montaže - najbolje je to skupno gledati kao jedno širinu, ali i cjelinu. Da bi se bavio režijom moraš poznavati scenaristiku i scenarističke tehnike, a da bi se bavio montažom moraš razumjeti režiju koja podrazumijeva razumijevanje scenaristike - i tako u krug. Fora kod filma/TV-a je da svi "zanati" postoje negdje drugdje osim montaže. Gluma postoji izvan Filma i TV-a, fotografija također, scenaristika također... jedino je montaža jedinstven zanat svojstven filmu i tv-u. Gledaj na montažu kao na ključni dio u procesu proizvodnje za koji izrađuješ sav materijal. Stoga podijeli učenje na pet cjelina: Fotografija, Montaža, Storytelling, Režija, Gluma.

Fotografija

• Burne Hogarth - Dynamic Light and Shade http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Light-Shade-Burne-Hogarth/dp/0823015815 i ostale knjige od Burne Hogartha nisu za baciti. Općenito sve knjige koje objašnjavaju, likovno i grafički, kompoziciju i odnos svijetla i sjene, poze (contrapposto i sl.). Nema veze ako ne misliš crtati / slikati - principi su isti, ali koristiš kameru, a ne olovku.

  Ima tu još dosta sadržaja kojeg bi bilo dobro spomenuti (recimo Sanford Meisnerova nadogradnja Stanislavskove škole glume i sl. ), ali ovo je već više nego dovoljno za dobar, široki, uvod u temu. Sve navedene knjige (osim za fotografiju) se koriste kao štivo na Columbiji i na Chapmanu i ostalim top filmskim školama. Razlika između čitanja štiva i učestvovanja na nastavi je što imaju i radionice - koje su iznimno bitne kod glume zbog glumačkih vježbi i redateljskih uputa. Kod nas nažalost ne postoji neka radionica i/ili glumačka škola koja radi po punom i ispravnom sustavu Stanislavskog, a kamoli po Meisneru, tako da ćeš i za to morati van.
