Fw: Principles in Portugese

[Diane Gibeault]

Hi Phelim,

This version of OS principles in Portuguese were proposed to me by Arthur 
Silva  when I facilitated an OS in Brazilia last year and Brazilians seem to 
think they made sense:


He called it the Brazilian flavour of Portuguese of the principles:



The four principles (Os quatro princípios):



- Quem vier é a pessoa certa

- O que quer que aconteça é a única coisa que poderia ter acontecido

- A hora a que começar é a hora certa

- Quando acabar, acaba.



The law of two feet (Lei dos dois pés):



- "Se durante o andamento de qualquer reunião, qualquer pessoa encontrar-se 
em uma situação na qual não esteja nem aprendendo, nem contribuindo, deve 
usar os seus dois pés e ir para algum lugar mais produtivo"





"Esteja preparado para ser surprendido" (Be prepared...)



Here is another publisher in Brazil:

-          The Brazil book has the title "Coffee Break Produtivo", published 
by W11 Editores, São Paulo, 2003; can be ordered at:
