September 11th – The world has changed ten years ago
Today, Sunday, Sept. 11th, 2011, I have a thought for my american friends who suffered from the tragedy.
Ten years have passed but I still remember exactly what I was doing at 02:30 pm when I heard on the radio what had occurred in Manhattan and later in Washington D.C.
I will never forget that particular day!
Since then, we continuously suffered from different geo-political crisis but 9/11/01 will remain the beguining of a new era.
Let’s hope for a brighter future for all of us! let’s continue to fight for Freedom and Peace!
God bless you all!!
A friend of mine, Dr. Henry Delmar, a renowned and talented plastic surgeon has opened a new anti-ageing clinic in Cap d’Antibes, with an innovative concept based both on a medical and philosophical point of view whereby all of the criteria of the Being are taken into account: sex, age, lifestyle, nutritional environment, genetic identity… For the first time one’s appearance is seen as a consequence.
Supported by six doctors, Dr. Delmar is committed in a few days of treatment to achieve “miracles” on the appearance of each and our self-esteem. I invite you to visit his site: http://www.clinique-science-beaute.com .
I also invite you to discover a newly published book written by Henry Delmar and Jean-Francois Mattei, ” Philosophie de la chirurgie esthétique. Une chirurgie nommée désirs “, published by Odile Jacob. A fascinating book that specifically addresses the reconciliation of being and appearance.
Last point, Clinique Science & Beaute is looking for a director whose talents will focus on management and customer relations. For more information, you can contact Dr. Delmar directly or myself: lenny.spangberg@lsconsulting.eu or 06 07 32 62 16.
During almost 40 years, I thought I had entertained extraordinary and privileged relationships with hundreds of from all kind of origin.
Those relationships, that where in my mind real and sincere, where, in fact, for most of them, issued by what I represented and from I could bring to those people.
After more than 2 years dedicated to another life I had chosen, after having spent all those years receiving and giving, after having enjoyed wonderful experiences providing me with the greatest pleasure and happiness in providing a job well done, I wanted to spend more time in transmitting what I had learned by teaching at the University, participating in several associations that I personally cherish, in accompanying some friends and clients in the organization of their events. This is what i spend most of my time today.
I must, however, today ask myself with some bitterness about the true human nature?
Some month ago, I read again “The Prince” from Machiavelli and I published here on my website some lines which seemed to correspond to what I have encountered.
Fortunately, the true friends have remained, they will recognize themselves!
The greatest satisfaction I keep today are my fast growing two boys who I can see more often and more important support them more effectively in their studies. They are both the real joy of my life!
The challenges of life are nothing compared to how you can help your children to become successful and to enrich yourself with true and sincere friends.
Life is beautiful!!!
The Prince, N. Machiavel – What a lucid look upon human nature!
I, recently, read again the Machiavel masterpiece : The Prince.
A chapter describing human nature particularly, stroke me after the very difficult time I encountered in 2009.
Machiavel was right when he wrote the Prince in 1532. His description of certain people has not changed and is still valid in 2010!
Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you. And that prince who, relying entirely on their promises, has neglected other precautions, is ruined; because friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured, and in time of need cannot be relied upon; and men have less scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared, for love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.
The Prince – N. Machiavel – Chapter XVII
Our website www.lsconsulting.eu experienced a service interruption due to technical problem from October 31th to November 3rd. Everything is back to normal now. We apologize for the inconvenience.
As the new year begins, I would like to renew with you, my friends, clients and partners, the privileged relationships that have united us in the past.
On for a short update of my numerous and diverse activities!
Upmarket Hotels Consulting
In addition to the advisory role that I play in the areas of Business Tourism and Events Management, I am also accompanying several hotel investors who wish to aquire new 3, 4 or 5 star establishements.
After guiding the investors in their research and aquisition, I hope to continue accompanying them in the rehabilitation and supervision of the overall project.
I currently have more than 30 establishments for sale throughout France.
The list of these hotels is available on request, either via this blog or by email.
Business support
For several months now I have accompanied two young companies in the development of particularly innovative concepts :
- QUALITELIS, specialised in satisfaction questionnaires and quality control follow up within the hotel industry and mass distribution.
- SVP-EXPERTISE, recently renamed WELCOM, specialised in precision training of high level butlers and hosts intended for top quality hotels and individuals.
Education in Business Tourism
I continue to teach Business Tourism subjects to degree level students at the IUP in Nice.
And music is my pleasure…
For over a year, I have presided the association ANDANTINO, which celebrates 10 years of existence in 2010. Supporting our regional orchestra is a real pleasure, and we are always looking to increase the number of partners looking to intoduce classical music into business.
I look forward to hearing from you, and send you once again my warm and sincere best wishes for 2010.
Best regards
Lenny Ch Spangberg
