I got the below post lately into my feed reader from Seth Godin’s Blog and I would like to share it with you.

Ramit Sethi asked: “What’s easier now than later?”

Seth Godin’s reply : Dreaming was easier.

First, it was easier to sleep, but that’s an entirely different story.

I meant real dreams. Visions. Ideas of what was around the corner. I still do it, I push myself to do it, I work at it and it pays off. But in my 20s, it just happened. And I wrote em down. Writing your dreams down is a great idea.

Hard Luck for Brazil, they are already out of World Cup 2006, their final match against France was a total disaster for all their fans including me, we were expecting to watch a game we would never forget, when they will be smashing the french team in revenge for their 1998 loss in Paris, but it did not happen.

See you in South Africa in year 2010!

The new battleground for the cola wars is in the developing markets, these long-term commitments by both companies will raise the level of competition and efficiency, and at the same time, bring value to the distribution and production systems of these countries. Many issues need to be overcome before a company can begin to produce its goods in a foreign country. These issues include political, social, economic, operational, and environmental topics which must be addressed.Armenia is already in the game!

In a country like Armenia, tourism is a key player and issue in the national economy. Definetely hotels have a major role to play, Armenians come from all over the planet to visit they homeland, enjoy their stay and would for sure recommend their friends to visit the place.

During my stay in Armenia, I booked a room in the Golden Tulip Hotel, in the heart of Yerevan on Abovian street. It was a good choice, a newly refurbished hotel, formerly called Hotel Yerevan, I had a pleasant stay, the room was excellent.
In the picture below you can take a look at te Yerevan Golden Tulip, also in the frame is the Yerevan Marriott Hotel, formerly known as hotel Armenia.

Two international chains present today in Armenia, hope more chains and hotel brands will come and discover the beauty of this country and offer its visitors a pleasant stay!
