"In finite games, like football or chess, the players are known, the rules are fixed, and the endpoint is clear. The winners and losers are easily identified. In infinite games, like business or politics or life itself, the players come and go, the rules are changeable, and there is no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers in an infinite game - there is only ahead and behind. The more I started to understand the difference between finite and infinite games, the more I began to see infinite games all around us. I started to see that many of the struggles that organizations face exist simply because their ... |

300 въпроса от историята на отбора. ... "Довиждане и здравей, Скуадра! Това е възможно най-адекватният рефрен в този момент - 2022 година. На самите италианци много не им е до песни, тъй като техният национален тим ще пропусне второ поредно световно първенство. И което е още по-уникалното - този път го прави в ролята на актуален европейски шампион по футбол! Но такива са суровите регламенти на самата игра. Често в историята Скуадра адзура си е патила от надменното отношение към противниците, но пък, като се замислим, кой друг, ако не отбор като Италия има пълното право да демонстрира огромно самочувствие всеки път ... |

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do?

But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the ... |

Футболен куиз. 320 въпроса от историята на клуба. ... Темата на книгата е една - единствена - ЦСКА! Всъщност темата е необятна, по нея можеш да произведеш хиляди и хиляди въпроси. В тази поредица от футболни куизове, традиционно се предлагат 300 въпроса. При ЦСКА решихме да е малко по-различно - да направим лека заигравка с 31-кратния шампион и по този начин те да станат 31 x 10 = 310. Малко повече. Дори с едно намигване към бъдещето, което на червените фенове им се иска да е далеч по-близко, включихме и бонус част - 32-ра. Надяваме се, че намекът е повече от ясен. Та така - това са 320 въпроса около историята, развитието, ... |
