Don't cry for me Argentina

Here are some pictures of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love this city. I lived there for two years and would go back anytime. In spite of being a really big city it is very pleasant and offers a great quality of life. It is bordered by the Rio de la Plata and faces Uruguay. Buenos Aires has many parks but the greatest thing Bs. As. is the culture. Argentina has a very unique culture due to its immigration history. Most of its European descent originates from Italy, not Spain even though Spanish (or rather "castellano") is the language spoken by its population...

Soccer

The sun is back. It's a good thing since I have a soccer game this afternoon. We're playing in Boulan Park against Romanian guys. We'll see what they have and if the refereee shows up on time ! Last time he was 20 minutes late, to which we had to add up another 20 minutes of arguments between him and the coach. Anyway I'm ready to kick the ball...I'd rather be in Mexico though, much nicer weather to play outside...

Babel

New movie by A. G. Inarritu. I like this director a lot, he has a very unique approach. In Amores Perros and 21 grams he walks you through the complexity of the story by giving you only of a few pieces of a puzzle. The pieces can be originally unrelated characters, events or simply images. It's only at the end that you really seize the meaning of the story and put all the pieces back together. In a way it's very much like life. You have to find for yourself the meaning of many hints you are given on a daily basis. Things may not make sense immediately but will eventually. If somebody sees Babel first let me know how it is... JB or Rodrigo ?

Lauvitel Lake, France

My favorite hike in the Alps. An hour drive from my mom's house + a 2-hour walk. Nothing beats a day outside discovering natural treasures.

Great Saturday !

It actually all started on the day before :) Jim called on Friday afternoon, he had taken the whole day off. He actually thought we were going to go to the movies, but that's next week. So instead he ended up shopping in Ann Arbor and bought $100 worth of blue and maize selected items... all made in China. I called Aaron to make sure he would join us since he was flying back from New York that day. The gathering point was at Brian's house. Unfortunately I had the first week debriefing meeting with the Auditors scheduled at 6:00 pm and with the CEO on his way back from Europe I had to attend. Everything went really well and after a quick meeting I was on my way to AA. Of course everybody was already there when I showed up watching the Tigers' game. OK we don't want to talk about that. So we headed out to O’Neil’s downtown and had a great typical Team C time. These guys are really great. I have to say because I am always amazed by how great I feel when we are all get together. It goes well beyond average friendship or mutual understanding. We all just perfectly connect, feel the same way about a lot of subjects, have the same enthusiasm for life, similar cultural interests, and the same sense of humor. Witnessing how these guys can give the best of them and solve incredibly challenging problems is really impressive and the ExecMAP project was a great illustration of that. This energy is always here, among us, floating around every time we meet. And every time we meet I get re-energized. Ready to face whatever is coming and knowing the future will bring great things.
So after a bunch of memorable discussions and comments including a girl next to us stating that "France and England was the same thing to her" and Aaron giving a detailed geopolitical analysis of the Middle East to somebody from North Carolina, we headed back home. Actually it was a little more complicated than that. After Brian disappeared (we still don't know where to btw)... Aaron went home, and Jim and I decided we were hungry. We opted for White-Castle since Jim assured me he knew one pretty close... "Oh yes I used to go there all the time" he said... well guess what? When we got “there” the White-Castle was gone. Several options came to mind: 1. Jim needs a serious vacation. 2. Aliens came and moved the White-Castle to their planet. 3. Jim got struck by the Harold & Kumar syndrome, or spent too much time with Freakshow... Anyhow, no cravers... but we found Brian though, he was eating cold pizza in his garage (go figure...). After the pizza we thought it was time for bed.
On Saturday morning I felt sort of rested. Jim was still concerned by the destiny of White-Castles in the world and looked a little tired :) Outside the weather was getting pretty…bad, but nothing can stop U of M students and we were going to go to the Big House no matter what. On the way I got a call from my friend Rodrigo from Mexico. We chatted for a while because he sounded like he needed to be cheered up. He is having a lot of relationship problems lately (who doesn't) and as everyone knows it’s never easy. I think he is doing better though and starts to understand that it's time to turn the page and enjoy life! But the Big House was around the corner and we needed to find a spot to park. After turning around and around we parked in the front yard of an older lady who was very nice and charged us 15 bucks! All of a sudden Jim and I got hungry...again...and opted for an Italian sausage, not the most healthy but we'll run tomorrow!!!

The Big House was almost full in spite of the weather. The game was a little slow but fun and when I starting to feel cold I just looked at the guy next to me wearing shorts and a tee-shirt and immediately felt better. During the game I got a call from Frederic who was watching Notre-Dame - Navy in France (lol). The wolverines won and remain undefeated which is excellent... Wow, 10:50 already I'd better finish the Strategy assignment. I'll write more tomorrow and I'll post the pictures I promise! I also need to mention I was glad to get an email from somebody on the West Coast today ;)

En garde !

I'm still debating whether I sign up for the NCAA fencing tournament or not. Yes would mean that I'll have to train a minimum of 6 hours per week. Right now it just seems crazy... In 2004 I did great but I eventually got slaughtered (by losing 15-0, I know! And it still hurts) in the 6th round. Here's a picture. Jean-Baptiste once told me about this picture that there was some magic in it, and that it almost looked like a modern painting depicting "butterfly hunting". I thought that was really funny! What's for sure is that it was a touch...

Viktor Emil Frankl

In September of 1942, a young doctor, his new bride, his mother, father, and brother, were arrested in Vienna and taken to a concentration camp in Bohemia. It was events that occurred there and at three other camps that led the young doctor -- prisoner 119,104 -- to realize the significance of meaningfulness in life.
One of the earliest events to drive home the point was the loss of a manuscript -- his life's work -- during his transfer to Auschwitz. He had sewn it into the lining of his coat, but was forced to discard it at the last minute. He spent many later nights trying to reconstruct it, first in his mind, then on slips of stolen paper.
Another significant moment came while on a predawn march to work on laying railroad tracks: Another prisoner wondered outloud about the fate of their wives. The young doctor began to think about his own wife, and realized that she was present within him:
The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. (1963, p. 59)And throughout his ordeal, he could not help but see that, among those given a chance for survival, it was those who held on to a vision of the future -- whether it be a significant task before them, or a return to their loved ones -- that were most likely to survive their suffering.
It would be, in fact, the meaningfulness that could be found in suffering itself that would most impress him:
(T)here is also purpose in that life which is almost barren of both creation and enjoyment and which admits of but one possibility of high moral behavior: namely, in man's attitude to his existence, and existence restricted by external forces.... Without suffering and death human life cannot be complete. (1963, p. 106)That young doctor was, of course, Viktor Emil Frankl.

Tonight...

Audit status : one week down, 2 to go ! Geees. that was a stressful week, in addition to the regular workload I have a dual audit going on and I'm glad it's Friday. It went very well in Mexico and we're done with that part.

Tonight I'll stay with Brian in Ann Arbor. Jim is joining us for a little Team C. gathering. I hope Aaron can join too. Jim is actually already on his way...I'll miss the warm-up. Tomorrow we're going to the game. Hopefully the Wolverines stay undefeated. Well I'll post some pictures and I'll tell you about tonight. Watch out !!!! :)

Changing macroeconomics

Yesterday I attended a very interesting conference about the world economy. Of course a lot of emphasis was put on China. A lot has been said about China, which includes a lot of non-sense and misinterpretation. One of the reasons being the lack of transparency and reliable statistics. The speed of the boom in China is leaving a lot of casualties behind. Authorities often have hard time collecting relevant information about their industrial activity. The consequences are that it makes the whole macroeconomic analysis very difficult. The key question when dealing with China and trying to forecast what's waiting is the reversal of China's export oriented economy into a self sustained market. All depends obviously on the speed at which domestic demand will become strong enough to not only absorb 100% of the Chinese output but start relying on imports. This is essential because it will not only create stimulus for the US and European economy, but also reverse the balance deficit. The trade deficit in the US will become harder and harder to sustain and it's time to do something. I am always amazed when I hear that the reason for the imbalance primarily comes from the fact that Asian economy save too much. I guess it's always easier to find explanation's somewhere else. This argumentation is an economic non-sense in my opinion. Moreover it projects a wrong assessment of the situation and maintains the belief that $981 billions (yes billions!!!) of foreign reserves being accumulated in the Chinese Central Bank is not really an issue. Guess what??? It is!!!! That is why the reversal is crucial, so I was very happy to finally be able to read an in-depth analysis of the issue in the Economist from October 21st. The Economist is an amazing magazine with high value high quality content and I strongly recommend it if you want to better understand what's going on in the world right now....

A friendly face !

J.-B. I'm glad we talked yesterday (for any reason I like you better with your glasses). I think I'm going to go and visit you sometimes in January. We could go to Puerto Vallarta with Rodrigo. have fun, go scuba-diving etc...I think we all need a good break for different reasons. I feel burned out lately. Between, work, the MBA, painful decisions, etc...Sometimes it feels like most of my energy is gone. But I know it was the right thing to do. Life is ahead, there is so much to do and discover, new places to go, new people to meet...Stressing over problems or painful events is not resolving anything. Things happen for a reason. Trying to force what's not meant to be will just delay the outcome.

Good luck...

I know it's not easy.

Jean-Baptiste

Jean-Baptiste and I went to college together and I can say that he is probably the person with whom I feel the strongest intellectual connection in the world. Jean-Baptiste is a brilliant guy, a free thinker, a scholar. A person who has gone deeply in the knowledge of himself and a true believer, a Zarathoustra of the modern age. Life took us on different path after graduation and we ended up on different continents. Jean-Baptiste in Central America and me in Eastern Europe. One thing we once shared in college was this belief in a greater mission. We had this strength in us, one of unspoken words and somehow our paths needed to cross again.

...It was a cold and snowy day in Michigan, I was attending a meeting of the French-American Chamber of Commerce. And I heard this voice behind me...5 years had gone by but I immediately recognized the voice...I turned my head and there was Jean-Baptiste, standing in front of me. That was so great to see him again. Strangly enough we met had a time where we both needed to change things in our lives and we really helped each other a lot in that respect.

Alors merci Jean-Baptiste d'être l'ami que tu es, le frère qui occupera toujours une place unique est irremplaçable dans mon existence.

Hélène Ségara & Andrea Bocelli

Sometimes I think about when I used to live in Argentina and I remember listening to this song when I felt lonely... Home was 14 hours of flight away and some days it was tough. This song would remind me of the long walks Benjamin and I use to take in the city. We would talk about our dreams and goals, and felt ready to conquer the world. I miss my friend and will forever. Words of French and Italian would float in the air and I would be right there in the Alps again. Hélène Ségara has such a beautiful voice !

Crazy weather

This picture was taken on Oct. 24, 2006 in Saint Malo, in the North-West of France. Météo France said winds reached over 100 km/h.

Saint-Malo during the Middle Ages was a fortified island, controlling not only the estuary of the Rance river but the open sea beyond. Saint-Malo traces its origins to a monastic settlement founded by Saint Aaron and Saint Brendan early in the VI th century. Its name is derived from a man said to have been a follower of Brendan, Saint Malo. In the later centuries it became notorious as the home of a fierce breed of pirate-mariners, who were never quite under anyone's control but their own; for 4 years from 1590, Saint-Malo even declared itself to be an independent republic, taking up the motto "not French, not Breton, but Malois". The Corsairs of Saint-Malo not only forced English ships passing up the Channel to pay tribute, but also brought wealth from further afield. Jacques Cartier, who sailed the Saint Laurent (St. Lawrence) river and visited the sites of Québec and Montréal - and is thus credited as the discoverer of Canada, lived in and sailed from Saint-Malo, as did the first colonists to settle the Falklands – hence the islands' Argentinian name, Islas Malvinas, from the French Îles Malouines...

Imagine, you're in 1653 leaving on a sails boat to reach Québec, with waves and winds like those on the picture....

Paradise and The Big Blue

The underwater world is so fascinating. I will always remember the first day I went underneath. I was 17 and had my first dive in the Calanques of Marseilles. It was fantastic, I felt like I had discovered a new galaxy, everything was so new, so pure, so different. The colors, the sounds, my existence was redefined. But I immediately felt at ease, in my element, and fell in love with the Big Blue. Everytime I dive I feel alive and free. It's just amazing. If you have never experienced the symphony of the ocean you should really give it a thought !!!!

6 months...

Well, we all survived another class. Marketing is over ! I actually loved this class, it was the very first opportunity after ExecMap to put all the components in perspective and finally approach the essence of business. The stramsim simulation was really good. Decide and assume the consequences of your decisions ! Running a business is not only about the bottom line. Or better said, looking at the bottom line as a fatality on which you perform financial analysis. Managing a business is not about reacting, implementing action plans or improving a threatened competitive position. It is about vision, innovation, taking risk and imagining the future. In a way it would even sound mystic ! It's seizing the potential of a new environment that no one can yet conceive. Who said if it's not controversial, then it's not strategic ?

On another subject I am happy of what I did today. Nino would call that optimism. I like to see it as realism. Realism is also understanding what is good and necessary. What makes you a better person. So you want to know what I did ? Well I send an email to somebody. Just like that, and I told that person what I felt. Many positive things. And it was good, spontaneous, honest and authentic. One of these moments when you reconnect with the true essence of life. Realism ? I don't know. And I don't want to know. It's my way of finding mysticism. I hope I get an answer...maybe i will. Uncertainty is a component of our existence that we often have a hard time to deal with, but at the end it is what makes it so beautiful because you never know what tomorrow will bring you...

Meet the # 1 Michigan Fan

The legendary Jim ! Well he had a rough time last night...Can't blame him...

GO BLUE !

We went out with some classmates last night, downtown Ann Arbor, and had a Greeeaaattt time... pictures and details to come. In the meantime there's a lot of classes in the way.....
But the most important : the Wolverines are playing Iowa today... GO BLUE !

I love this picture, it pretty much summarizes the whole situation (and how i feel today...actually more like the dude on the ground)

Grenoble, France

This is a view of the old city part of Grenoble, the city where I was born in France. Grenoble is surrounded by mountains: to the north the Chartreuse (from which the liquor made by the Chartreux Monks took its name), to the west the Vercors (the heartland of the Résistance during WWII), and to the east Belledone. Grenoble is known as the "Capital of the Alps". It's a great and modern city with a lot of nano-science research and related activities and a huge University. If you want to go to France that's the place to visit !

Back to School ! And some explanations about Common Law v. Civil Law

I'll have a lot of classes for the next few days...Finance, Strategy, Corporate Governance... There is also a cession scheduled at the Tozzi Trading Center, which sounds really interesting... (it will remind me of my trading years for sure). I like the Corporate Governance class a lot. I've always been interested in Law, mainly Constitutional La, so that's a great opportunity to learn about the U.S. legal system. The U.S. system is inherited from the English Common Law system where court cases and decisions actually constitute the Law. This is very different from the French system I am more familiar with which is a Civil Law system.

Civil law is primarily contrasted against Common Law, which is the legal system developed among Anglo-Saxon people, especially in England. The original difference is that, historically, common law was law developed by custom, beginning before there were any written laws and continuing to be applied by courts after there were written laws, too, whereas civil law develops out of the Roman law of Justinian's Corpus Iuris Civilis. In later times, civil law became codified as "droit coutumier", which is French for customary law that were local compilations of legal principles recognized as normative. Sparked by the age of enlightment, attempts to codify private law began during the second half of the 18th century, but civil codes with a lasting influence were promulgated only after the French Revolution, in jurisdictions such as France (with the Code Napoléonien), Austria, Québec ( with the Code Civil du Québec), Spain (Código Civil), the Netherlands , Germany etc... Mainly all the countries that once were part of the French 1st. Empire. However, codification is by no means a defining characteristic of a civil law system, as e.g. the civil law systems of Scandinavian countries remain largely uncodified, whereas common law jurisdictions have frequently codified parts of their laws, e.g. in the U.S. Uniform Commerical Code. There are also mixed systems, such as the laws of Sctoland or South Africa.

Thus, the difference between civil law and common law lies less in the mere fact of codification, but in the methodological approach to codes and statutes. In civil law countries, legislation is seen as the primary source of law. By default, courts thus base their judgments on the provisions of codes and statutes, from which solutions in particular cases are to be derived. Courts thus have to reason extensively on the basis of general rules and principles of the code, often drawing analogies from statutory provisions to fill lacunae and to achieve coherence. By contrast, in the common law system, cases are the primary source of law, while statutes are only seen as incursions into the common law and thus interpreted narrowly.

The underlying principle of separation of powers is seen somewhat differently in civil law and common law countries. In some common law countries, especially the United States, judges are seen as balancing the power of the other branches of government. By contrast, the original idea of separation of powers in France was to assign different roles to legislation and to judges, with the latter only applying the law (the judge as "la bouche de la loi" which means "the mouth of the law").

There are notable differences between the legal methodologies of various civil law countries. For example, it is often said that common law opinions are much longer and contain elaborate reasoning, whereas legal opinions in civil law countries are usually very short and formal in nature. This is in principle true in France, where judges cite only legislation, but not prior case law. (However, this does not mean that judges do not consider it when drafting opinions.) By contrast, court opinions in German-speaking countries can be as long as English ones, and normally discuss prior cases and academic writing extensively.

There are, however, certain sociological differences. Civil law judges are usually trained and promoted separately from advocates, whereas common law judges are usually selected from accomplished and reputable advocates.

Rio de Janeiro: One of My Favorite Places in the World

This is a picture of Gustavo and his family in Rio. Gustavo is one of my closest friends, he is from Brazil. We actually met in the elevator in Buenos Aires, Argentina while we lived their. I was going back to my apartment one day, heading to the elevator, proudly wearing my French soccer team jersey and its brand new shiny star on the torso...(yes ! it was in August 1998 !). Gustavo was with his brother visiting from Rio. Trying to start one of these elevators atmosphere conversation ( you know, when people feel obliged to say something ! The elevator was pretty small too !), Gustavo, thinking I was one of these Argentinians doing a little bit of provocation said : "Oh that's an ugly Jersey !" Of course he didn't know I was French :) , after that we became friends ! funny life....
Alessandra and Gustavo in front of their house. They are coming to France for Christmas so we'll have plenty of time to spend together. They are a lot of fun to be with

The beach of Barra da Tijuca....I can't wait to go back !

The Best MBA Team in the World

This is a picture of Team Chiasma taken at Greenfied Village (the Ford Museum place) close to Dearborn. We had just finished our final presentation to our sponsor... and after 4 months of hard work, 650 pages written and 60 minutes to convince, we felt ready for a drink !

We met, with the whole team, the other night. It was great to see everyone again...without the stress of meetings ending at 2:00 am ! We went for dinner at Capital Grill... that was a treat especially for the 'wine of the year" bottle. It was so good we had to convince Aaron not to get a second one ! Next activity for the team is to go and see "Borat: the movie". Borat was some kind of a spiritual leader for the team when we needed a break :)

This team was a lot of fun, just a bunch of really great people, with an excellent sense of humour, sometimes I almost regret that the project is over ! I miss you guys !

MBA 605... 1:40 am

I can't sleep... too many things in my head... I think I did well to book my ticket for France early this year, I really need to spend time with the family, enjoy, take some walks in the city, watch the mountains, covered with a new and shiny white coat... that will be a great vacation ! I need it... the past few months have been really crazy, there is so much to do... anyway I'd better go and finish the Finance Case that is due on Friday... :)

Team Chiasma and the August Residency

Here are the long awaited pictures !

http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2100620882&code=24717520&mode=invite&DCMP=isc-email-AlbumInvite

...thanks Nino !

Didn't I tell you Nino was always a great support ! Right after i came back to from the doctor (don't worry fans of the world: I'm OK! - for real), anyways, I also received Nino's diagnostic: "brain surgery is the answer for you he said!" ...and of course since he always "follow-up" sent me the link.... www.brain-surgery.com

I was thinking maybe I could do the surgery myself ! I have some pliers at home !

Mio amico Nino

Nino is one of my best friends (note that i didn't start with: "Nino is a great guy" - too classic). Yet he is great, somebody you can admire for his attitude and principles. We met in grad school (Go Blue !). Even if he claims to be better looking than me (which has been proved untrue in many occasions) and supports a nation that won the world cup by pure luck, I still like him a lot. Our ritual is lunch at least once a week at Bravo! (i'll put a picture). It's always a great time, espcially when we've had one of these stressful mornings. In addition to be with one of my best friends it's an opportunity to talk about a lot of interesting subjects. From business, to politics, from philosophy to soccer. We challenge each other and always end up with a new way to look at things, a new perspective... that's what's great about exceptionnal people like Nino, you never waste a second with them. I also learned a lot about the US culture, the tricks, the underwater part of the iceberg, that is sometimes not easy to seize when you grew up with a different culture.

So... Thanks Nino, you're always a great support and a great friend !

One last word ! Nino has just been recognized as one of the top young leaders of the state (40 under 40). Better choice couldn't have been made ! Congrats Nino !

Marie-Edwige, Stéphane et Tocqueville

Yesterday it was Saint Marie-Edwige day , you know, Le Petit-Nicolas' girlfriend, the one who is so "drolement chouette"...
Big Nicolas prefers Cecilia... What reminds me that I'll have to do my share of propaganda as the French Presidential elections are approaching...It will remind me of the good old time at UNI... and the poster sticking nights in the streets of Rouen....Sometimes I miss those days. Things looked much more simple, I had less answers but I also had much less questions ! I think it's what really makes the difference: your consciousness level. The world that surrounds us is often a mere reflexion of what we want to see, or maybe of what we are trying to convince ourself that we should find in it...

Last week I received a great email from my friend Stéphane. He quoted Tocqueville :

"celui qui recherche dans la liberté autre chose qu'elle-même est condamné à
servir"

"the one who searches in truth something more than itself is condemned to be a servant"

Reflect !

Umberto Pelizzari

L'uomo e il mare

Uomo libero, sempre ti sarà
diletto il mare - tua anima, specchio dove guardi
la tua anima scorrere infinita
come le onde. Non meno amaro abisso è il tuo cuore

Team Chiasma: The Concept

I promise ! I will write...all that can be disclosed about Team Chiasma...that is, probably not much ! Why you may ask ? Because Team Chiasma is the ultimate concept... little is known about it but it is very powerful. Nothing compares to Team Chiasma, after "it" nothing really matters...apart from graduation of course, after all, we DO want to graduate... the sooner, the better...

Yet, I may tell...about Israel, the Lima Lima, the beach, Itamar, the angry dragon, the Western Wall, the Galilee, the War, the religious fanatism and how it destroys the world....and Jim's monkey.

On the picture, it's most of team Chiasma at Greenfield Village for the August Residency...admire Da Team Chiasma Shirt...specially tailored for us... that night ended pretty late...

I almost forgot for those who unfortunately do not know who team Chiasma is: it's Aaron, Brian, Jim, Paul and me... great people. Really.

Le Petit Nicolas

So many childhood memories.... Reading Marcel Pagnol, Tintin, and Le Petit Nicolas was always a great time... They were the greatest, the most beautiful, the most fabulous... They conquered the world and nobody will ever equal them.

For Christmasl, it's clear i'll get the second volume of "Les Histoires Inédites du Petit Nicolas"... at la Fenaque !!!

De retour de Toronto

C'est deja dur cette semaine. Le week-end a Toronto passe avec Hope, Yvonne et Brian a permis de bien decompresser. On s'est bien amuse... Apres le passage obligatoire au Marche pour le dejeuner... Ensuite direction, Ontario Science Center. Le Hall dedie a la connaissance du cerveau humain est vraiment fantastique. On y retrouve non seulement des explications scientifiques mais aussi des videos sur les experience menees par des chercheurs de nombreuses universites pour expliquer la manipulation des masses... Un sujet qui meritera un posting bientot... Un jour viendra, j'espere, ou l'humanite se liberera des prisons dogmatiques dans lesquelles elle se refugie pour conjurer ses peurs...Devenir un homme libre, un vrai, est finalement la quete surpreme de l'existence. Ca me fait penser qu'il faudra que je retrouve ce fabuleux poeme de Kipling: "Si tu Peux"... un emouvant appel a la volonte et au depassement de soi.

En attendant il faut etudier... heureusement il n'y a pas trop d'assignments cette semaine...A part la finance que j'espere finir ce soir... vivement le mois d'Avril.

C'est parti !

Voila... le nouveau blog est finalement en place...maintenant il ne reste plus qu'a ecrire des choses !
