Source text - English • Budućnost vašeg biznisa je u svijetu i regiji. U prosjeku zemljama raste BDP
Postoci ili prosjeci ne postoje. Kao što ne postoje ni u životu. Primjerice, kad kažete da je temeperatura prosječna to ništa ne znači. Govorimo li o 19 ili 20 stupnjeva Celzijusa? Da se razumijemo, ja volim brojke. I dalje trgujem opcijama i volim se s njima igrati. Međutim, shvatio sam da što god vodio, bilo biznis s novinama ili hotelima, na kraju su važni ljudi. Najviše me vesele ljudi koji za mene rade.
• Nakon Češke, ušli ste s projektima oko nekretnina u Mađarsku, Poljsku, Slovačku, Rusiju, Hrvatsku... Kakva je vizija razvoja XXX grupe?
- Možda ću vas iznenaditi, ali ja ne promatram zemlju u koju ću ući. Kompanije poput XXX grupe moraju motriti razvoj gradova i kad ugledaju neki obećavajući primjer - tamo treba krenuti s projektima. U modernom svijetu važniji je razvoj gradova nego zemalja. Gradovi trebaju imati kritičnu masu rasta i razvoja i njihov razvoj treba pratiti trendove globalnog tržišta. Bez obzira na to koliki je BDP neke zemlje treba voditi računa o rastu BDP-a gradova.
Primjerice, u posljednjih nekoliko godina ratse BDP Praga i predviđa se da će u narednih nekoliko godina broj stanovnika s 1,5 narasti na 2,5 milijuna. U Europi ljudi sa sela sele u velike gradove. To znači da nekretnine postaje commodity, roba kojom se trguje. Za obavljanje bilo koje djelatnosti treba ti nekretnina. Graditeljstvo je najveća industrija na svijetu i mnogi to još ne shvaćaju. Gradnja neće nikad prestati, a zgrade će u gradovima biti sve više.
* Ali, zar nije prisutan trend da bogatiji odlaze iz gradova na periferije?
Čak se u Americi ljudi vraćaju u centre gradova. Kad djeca odlaze na sveučilišta roditelji ostaju sami u velikim kućama u predgrađima. Umjesto da samuju, radije se vraćaju u centar grada gdje imaju kina, kazalište i zbivanja. U cijelom svijetu se osjeti taj trend rasta gradova. Neki će moći uhvatiti taj trend, dok drugi ne.
* Gdje je tu Zagreb?
U Zagrebu se, recimo, ništa ne događa.
• XXX želi postati lider u Hrvatskoj?
Da, naravno. Ljudi u Hrvatskoj su najveće iznenađenje i bolji su nego što sami misle. Doduše, imate tendenciju da se izrugujute svojim ljudima iako ste u isto vrijeme jako ponosni. Nešto poput Francuza. Početi biznis u Hrvatskoj nije bilo nimalo lako. Što zbog političke situacije, ali i činjenice da je svaki početak težak.
Osjećam se da se nešto dešava u Hrvatskoj i treba se uključiti u igru. U biznisu s nekretninama važno je uključiti se prije nego to učine drugi, jer tu možeš zaraditi jedino ako kupuješ jeftino.
• Spomenuli ste da imate iskustva s vođenjem 22 hotela. U usporedbi s drugima što biste rekli o XXX?
To je bila državna kompanija koja nije pokretala nikakve projekte, a nije se niti trudila da to čini. Unatoč tome što godinama nitko nije investirao u XXX grupa ljudi je radila fantastičan posao i davala sve od sebe da kompaniju drži na okupu. Ti su ljudi mađioničari. Učinili su da tvrtka opstane bez pomoći države iako su bili državna kompanija. Bez povećanja plaće, bonusa i imalo motivacije logično je da su imali i biznis sa strane. Za nas je oživljavanje XXX bio specijalan zadatak, a posebice uzme li se u obzir da se tada u Hrvatskoj nije baš nešto događalo.
Znaju što treba napraviti. Smatram da je i danas u Hrvatskoj problem sa načinom kako se doživljava strane ulagače. Mnogi još uvijek ne znaju da stvarno nije bitno da li je kompanija hrvatska ili francuska.
• Meni nije drago kad dolaze stranci i preuzmu kompanije ne zato što su stranci već zato što nema domaćih ljudi koji su sposobni to učiniti. I to u zemlji koja je desetljećima turistička.
Ja to potpuno razumijem. Europska Unija zapravo predstavlja novi identite za poslovnu zajednicu. Ja sam europski biznismen i nemam ništa protiv Amerikanaca ili Kineza. Svi imaju pravo uključiti se u igru. Ne smijete zaboraviti da i vi možete sasvim slobodno investirati u Ameriku. Možete otvoriti restoran ili bilo što drugo i nitko neće stvarati probleme. Investitori ne odustaju. Naša je misija da budemo tu, jer smo mi globalni investitori.
Kao što, pretpostavljam, ne bi bilo loše da i vi biznis pokrenete u Bosni. Internet također pomiče granice. Svi ćemo ponovno biti braća i Hrvati će postati europski biznismeni.
Translation - Croatian • The future of your business is in the world and region. On average countries have a growing GDP
Percentages or averages do not exist. As they don't exist in the real life. For instance, when you say temperature is average that doesn't mean anything. Are we talking about 19 or 20 degrees Celsius? Just so we understand each other, I like numbers. I still trade options and I like to play with them. However, I realized that no matter what I managed, be it business with newspapers or hotels, in the end all that matters are people. My greatest joy is the people who work for me.
After Check Republic, you entered with real estate projects to Hungary, Poland, Slovak Republic, Russia and Croatia... What is the vision of development for XXX group?
- This may come as a surprise to you, but I don't look at the country I'm about to enter. Companies like XXX have to monitor development of cities and when they see an example that's promising - that's where you need to start with projects. In the modern world development of cities is more important then the one of countries. Cities need to have critical mass of growth and development and their progress needs to follow trends of the global market. No matter what GDP of a country is, what needs to be monitored is the city GDP.
For instance, in the last few years the GDP of Prague is on the rise and it is predicted that in the next few years the number of people in that city will grow from 1.5 to 2.5 million. In Europe people move from villages to big cities. This means that real estate is becoming commodity, goods for trading. In order to do any kind of business, one needs a real estate. Construction is the largest industry in the world and many people still don't understand it. Construction will never stop, and buildings in the cities will get higher and higher.
*But, wouldn't you say that there is also a trend of wealthier people leaving cities for periphery?
Even in the United States people are coming back to city centers. When children leave for college parents stay alone in their big houses in suburbs. Instead of being lonely, they rather go back to the center of the city where there are movies, theaters and events. You can feel this trend of growing cities in the whole world. Some people will be able to catch the trend, while others won't.
*Where is Zagreb in this sense?
In Zagreb, for instance, nothing is really happening.
• XXX wants to become leader in Croatia?
Yes, of course. People in Croatia are the biggest surprise and they are better then they themselves think. However, you have a tendency to mock your own people although in the same time you are very proud. Something like French. Starting a business in Croatia is not easy at all. Some of it is political situation, but also the fact that any beginning is difficult.
I feel that something is happening in Croatia and I need to join the game. In the real estate business it's important to get in before anyone else, because here you can only make money if you buy cheap.
• You mentioned that you have experience with managing 22 hotels. Comparing to others, what would you say about XXX?
It used to be a state owned company that never did any projects; neither did they try to do it. In spite of nobody investing in XXX for years, a group of people did a fantastic job and gave their best to keep the company alive. These people are magicians. They made it possible for the company to survive without the help of the government, although they were owned by government. With no raise, bonuses or any motivation it's logical they had some other business going on aside. For us reviving of XXX was a special task, especially if you take into consideration that nothing much else happened in Croatia in those days.
They know what needs to be done. I think even today there's a problem in a way people see foreign investors. Many still don't realize that it really doesn't matter if the company is Croatian of French.
• I don't like it when foreigners come and take over companies not because they are foreigners but because there isn't any local people able to do that. And that in the country that has decades of tourist history.
I completely understand that. European Union in fact represents new identity for the business community. I am European businessman and I have nothing against Americans or Chinese. Everybody has the right to join the game. You shouldn't forget that you too can freely invest in the United States. You can open up a restaurant or anything else and no one will make problems. Investors don't give up. Our mission is to be here because we are global investors.
As well as, I assume, would not be a bad idea for you to start business in Bosnia. Internet is also moving borders. We will all become brothers again and Croatians will become European businessmen.
English to Croatian: Love on the Rebound
Source text - English
‘Love’ On The Rebound
For any relationship to work, it takes a lot of time, effort and commitment from both or all the concerned people. Relationships formed on the rebound rarely have any of these three characteristics. Which is probably why they rarely work out and have acquired quite a bad name over time. Very often, one or both partners involved don’t even recognise that they are in the midst of what is commonly called a ‘rebound relationship’. Fact is, they are extremely common, and almost everyone may have a brush with such situations sometimes in their lives…
WHAT IS A ‘REBOUND RELATIONSHIP’?
A rebound relationship is when you want to skip the pain of the previous relationship and feel good right away. It is a substitute or ‘quick fix’ to a breakup situation that will require some emotional pain and soul searching. When someone enters into a new relationship too early, before fully recovering from a previous broken one, he/she is getting into a classic case of a relationship on the rebound. The person who has just broken up or suffered a divorce is the ‘rebounder’, and the other person is the ‘reboundee’.
When such relationships are not thought out properly, and the people getting into them do not realise the implications of making another commitment this fast, it usually ends in disaster. Though not consciously done, most often the ‘rebounder’ (who has just come out of a previous relationship) ends up hurting and using the ‘reboundee’. This only leads to further embitterment, and for some people, a long journey downhill.
WHY DO THEY GET INTO IT?
Although everyone thinks, “It couldn’t happen to me…,” every relation has the potential of coming apart without adequate nurturing and encouragement. When you fall out of one relationship due to physical or psychological abuse, indifference, disagreements or extra-marital affairs, you’re bound to be feeling vulnerable, devoid of your ‘comfort zone’, insecure regarding your future and confused. You may be blaming yourself for the failure of your relationship, and most often, your self esteem and sense of identity suffers a serious blow. You begin to consider yourself as a good-for-nothing, and very often, don’t realise that it may not even be your fault.
At such a time as this, comforting and consolation from any friend or stranger may be just the salve for your bruised ego. You rush into the arms of the first person who shows you a bit of understanding and lends you a shoulder to cry on. After all, when emerging from a tumultuous past, anyone would gladly welcome a loving hug and an arm to lean on. Sometimes, you actively seek out people who seem to be the exact opposite of the ex you just dumped…or who just dumped you. You think that’s the perfect solution for the dismal fate of your love life… you’re almost always wrong!
WHY IT DOESN’T WORK…
This is pretty much a no-brainer! Other than the two involved in the rebound relationship, almost everything surrounding them can see what’s so wrong with it.
For the Rebounder…
Firstly, it’s plain wrong to get romantically involved with someone new when you’ve still not recovered from a previous partner. You’re still hung up on your past, so until you can put that behind you, no new ‘love’ can sure you. Just because you hate you’re ex, you think you’ve put the past behind you. You don’t realise that to be truly completely healed from the scars left behind, you need to reach a stage where you’ve become indifferent to who you currently think as ‘the loser who left me’.
Sometimes, people rush into a rebound only to make the ex jealous and are silently hoping to patch things up by luring him back.
But another extremely common reason why you hit the pubs/clubs the day after you break up looking for your new ‘soulmate’ is because you’re just trying to prove to your ex that you’re so totally over him/her, and you can get someone to love you whenever you want. All you’re trying to do is drive in the fact to your ex that you were never as dependant on them as they thought.
Whatever the reason you got into the relationship, it’s a selfish reason, one that is based on serving the self esteem and satisfying feeling of personal worth. One day you will eventually wake up and say to yourself, “What was I thinking??? I don’t love this person at all!!!” So, completely healed from the ghosts of your past, you now proceed to break up with your current partner and move on with your life. In the meantime, your reboundee may be left with a broken heart and a disillusioned perspective. You may just have caused him to go into a relationship as a rebounder him/herself!
For the Reboundee…
If you know that the person you are interested in is still recovering from a major transition in their lives, you should realise that how they currently behave and the choices and decisions they make are not reflective of their true selves. You should know that they would not behave like this in a stable frame of mind. If you still make the choice to be with them, you must beware the consequences!
Secondly, there are a lot of ‘friends’ who you’ve hung around for years. You have silently loved them for years, but never plucked up enough courage to express your feelings to them. And then what you’ve been wishing for so long happens…they break up with whoever they are seeing or married to. You know they will be looking for affection and support, and you swoop in with your soft words of sympathy. Of course they whole heartedly encourage your support. They’re feeding their injured souls on the affection that you’re so generously doling out. You both manage to convince yourselves that you are finally in love with each other. You certainly are. But soon enough, the inevitable happens. They will recover one day, and when they do, they will only blame you for having taken advantage of them in their darkest and lowest moments. So where you thought you had got yourself undying gratitude and ‘love’ for having rescued them from their depression, you may instead land up with a broken friendship and embitterment for life.
HOW IT MIGHT WORK IF YOU TRY…
If you are the one getting out of a bad liaison or marriage, there are a few things you need to realise. Firstly, you are going to go through five stages of dealing with your grief: shock, denial, anger, sadness and then, finally, acceptance. Until and unless you are completely sure that you have reached the last stage, it is not advisable to venture into a new bond. If you are stuck in any of the earlier stages, your perception will be distorted and it is unlikely that you will make any major decisions wisely.
So if you find that you like someone, remember that he/she may not necessarily be perfect for you. There isn’t any need to live like a social recluse, but there isn’t any need to run down the aisle with the first person you find either. Take your time in getting to know the person – strictly as a friend. If they are truly good for you, they will give you your time and space to recover without putting on any pressure for commitment.
If you are the person meeting someone who has just come out of a sour relationship, recognise that though they may crave comfort and affection, it may only be transient. If you really like them and want to give it a shot, try to hang around and be supportive without expecting anything romantic. Even if they suggest you get together, ideally you should try to stay firm and resist until you are completely assured that they have gotten over their ‘issues’. Then you can safely get involved and test your true compatibility…
Translation - Croatian
«Ljubav» u vezi za utjehu
Da bi veza uspjela treba puno vremena, truda i predanosti sa obje strane, ili od svih koji su u to uključeni . Veze koje se temelje na traženju utjehe rijetko sadržavaju bilo koju od gore navedenih triju sastojaka. A to je, najvjerojatnije, razlog zbog kojeg rijetko kada uspiju i zbog kojeg su vremenom došle na loš glas. Jako često jedan ili oba partnera i ne shvaćaju da su se našli usred situacije koja se naziva "Veza za utjehu". Činjenica je da su ovakve veze jako uobičajene i da se gotovo svatko od nas nekad našao u jednoj takvoj.
ŠTO JE TO «VEZA ZA UTJEHU”?
Veza za utjehu je kad želiš preskočiti bolno razdoblje nakon prekida jedne veze i odmah se osjećati dobro u drugoj. To je nadomjestak ili 'popravak na brzinu' za prekinutu vezu koja inače zahtijeva proživljavanje razdoblja emocionalne boli i preispitivanja samog sebe. Kada netko uleti u novu vezu prerano, prije negoli se potpuno oporavi od prethodnog prekida, on ili ona ulaze u klasičan slučaj 'veze za utjehu'. Onaj koji je upravo prekinuo vezu ili pretrpio razvod je 'onaj koji traži utjehu', a druga osoba je obično 'onaj koji pruža utjehu'.
Kada se u takve veze uleti bez da se o njima dobro promisli i ljudi koji oforme vezu ne razumiju sve posljedice brzinske nove veze, ta situacija obično završi katastrofom. Iako ne namjerno, 'onaj koji traži utjehu' (koji je upravo izašao iz prethodne veze) najčešće na kraju povrijedi drugu osobu. Ovo samo vodi daljnjem ogorčenju, i za neke ljude to je tek početak puta prema dnu.
ZAŠTO LJUDI ULAZE U OVAKVE VEZE?
Iako većina ljudi misli 'To se meni ne može dogoditi...,' svaki odnos u sebi sadrži potencijal za raspad sistema ako mu se ne poklanja adekvatna pažnja i briga. Kada izađete iz veze zbog fizičkog ili psihičkog zlostavljanja, nezainteresiranosti, neslaganja ili izvan-bračnih veza, za očekivati je da ćete se osjećati ranjivo, van svoje 'sigurne zone', nesigurno u pogledu svoje budućnosti i totalno zbunjeno. Možda ćete kriviti sebe za propast veze i najčešće će vaše samopouzdanje i osjećaj identiteta doživjeti jak udarac. Počinjete sebe smatrati nesposobnima i jako često i ne shvaćate da možda uopće nije do vas.
U takvoj situaciji utjeha od strane bilo kojeg prijatelja ili stranca je upravo ono što može spasiti vaš povrijeđeni ego. Požurite se u naručje prve osobe koja vam pokaže malo razumijevanja i volju da vam bude rame za plakanje. Naposljetku, svakome je drago dočekati se u nečijem toplom naručju i imati se na koga osloniti nakon izlaska iz burne i nesretne prošlosti. Ponekad u novoj osobi tražite upravo suprotne karakteristike od onih koje je imala osoba koju ste upravo ostavili ...ili koja je ostavila vas. Mislite da je to savršeno rješenje za lošu sreću koja vas prati u ljubavi...ali skoro uvijek ćete biti u krivu!
ZAŠTO OVAKVE VEZE NE USPIJEVAJU...
Pa to je bar jasno! Osim ovih dvoje koji se nalaze u vezi za utjehu, skoro svi oko njih čisto i jasno vide što tu ne štima.
Za 'onog koji traži utjehu'...
Kao prvo, totalno je krivo uplesti se u romancu sa nekim novim dok se još niste ni 'ohladili' od prethodne. Misli su vam još uvijek u prošlosti, tako da dok ne dođete do faze gdje to možete zaboraviti, niti jedna nova 'ljubav' vam neće pomoći. Samo zato što mrzite bivšu ili bivšega, mislite da ste ga/nju preboljeli. Ne shvaćate da, da biste bili potpuno izliječeni od prošlih ožiljaka, morate doseći fazu gdje vam je svejedno što radi osoba koja vas je ostavila.
Ponekad ljudi žure ući u novu vezu nadajući se da će na taj način učiniti bivšu ljubav ljubomornom i privoliti je da se vrati natrag.
Drugi najčešći razlog zašto dan nakon prekida idete 'u život' tražiti svoju novu 'srodnu dušu' je samo zato da bi dokazali bivšem/bivšoj da ste ga totalno preboljeli i možete naći novu ljubav kad god to poželite. Ali jedino što pokušavate postići je pokazati bivšem/oj da nikad niste bili stvarno ovisni o njima onako kako su to oni mislili.
Koji god bio razlog za novu vezu, sebičan je, i ustvari samo želite spasiti svoje samopoštovanje i postići zadovoljavajući osjećaj vlastite veličine. Jednog dana ćete se jednostavno probuditi i pomisliti 'Što mi bi???' Pa ja uopće ne volim ovu osobu!!!' I tako potpuno oslobođeni duhova prošlosti, vi prekidate sa trenutnim partnerom i nastavljate sa svojim životom. U međuvremenu, vaše 'rame za plakanje' je ostavljeno slomljenog srca i beznadne perspektive. I možda ste ga upravo vi natjerali da sad i on/a sam postane 'onaj koji traži utjehu'!
Za 'onog koji pruža utjehu'...
Ako znate da se osoba za koju ste zainteresirani još oporavlja od važnog preokreta u životu, trebali biste shvatiti da ono kako se oni trenutno ponašaju i odluke koje donose nisu odraz njihove prave osobe. Trebate znati da se oni tako ne bi ponašali u stabilnim uvjetima i pri normalnom razmišljanju. Pa ako i nakon svega odlučite da budete s tom novom osobom, čuvajte se posljedica!
Drugo, oko vas su mnogobrojni 'prijatelji' koji se tu vrte već godinama. Volite ih već godinama ali nikad niste skupili dovoljno hrabrosti da im izrazite svoje osjećaje. I onda se događa ono što ste vi tako dugo čekali...oni prekidaju sa onim s kim su trenutno u vezi ili braku. Vi znate da će oni tražiti ljubav i podršku i ulijećete velikodušno sa riječima simpatije. Oni naravno potpuno ohrabruju vašu podršku. Hrane svoje ranjene duše simpatijama koje vi tako velikodušno nudite. Oboje se uspijevate uvjeriti da ste napokon stvarno zaljubljeni jedno u drugo. Naravno da jeste. Ali ubrzo se događa ono neizbježno. Oni će se jednog dana oporaviti, i kada se to dogodi krivit će vas što ste ih iskoristili u njihovim najtežim trenucima. I tako, tamo gdje ste mislili da ste si pribavili vječnu zahvalnost i 'ljubav' za izbavljenje iz depresije, može se dogoditi da završite raskidom prijateljstva i ogorčenjem koje traje čitav život.
KAKO BI MOŽDA MOGLO USPJETI...
Ako ste vi taj koji izlazi iz loše veze ili braka, morate obratiti pažnju na nekoliko stvari. Kao prvo, proći ćete kroz pet etapa u suočavanju sa svojom boli. Šok, negiranje, ljutnja, tuga i napokon, prihvaćanje. Sve dok niste potpuno sigurni da ste dosegli zadnju fazu, ne preporuča vam se ulazak u novu vezu. Ako ste zapeli u bilo kojoj od ovih faza, vaše opažanje neće biti ispravno i malo je vjerojatno da ćete donijeti bilo kakvu razboritu odluku.
Dakle, ako pronađete nekoga tko vam se sviđa, sjetite se da možda ta osoba i nije baš savršena za vas. Ne trebate se totalno povući u osamu ali se ne trebate ni baciti u naručje prvome na kojeg naiđete. Polako upoznajte osobu koja vam se sviđa – najprije samo kao prijatelja. Ako su stvarno dobri za vas ostavit će vam dovoljno vremena i prostora da se oporavite bez da vam stvaraju bilo kakav dodatni pritisak.
Ako ste vi osoba kojoj se sviđa netko tko je upravo izašao iz loše veze, budite svjesni da, iako možda sada traže utjehu i ljubav, to može biti samo privremeno. Ako vam se stvarno sviđaju i želite probati, pokušajte biti tu i pružiti podršku bez da očekujete išta romantično. Pa čak i ako predlože nešto, pokušajte ostati čvrsti i odoljeti sve dok niste potpuno sigurni da su se riješili svojih 'problema'. Tada se možete opustiti i upustiti i provjeriti koliko ste stvarno jedno za drugo...
