"If you know Spanish ..." All my global clientele (Russians, Chinese, Japanese, French, Germans, Italians ...) immediately communicate with me in English, except the Spanish speakers. So, if you want to learn a second language, learn Spanish.

Dear Tom, I was impressed today by your ability in communicating, thanks very much for your visit to Barcelona. Really, when I grow up, I would like to do a speech like yours today. In the meantime, I started a little company called "Ta with you", which would like to be part of that "hope" you have told us today.

Mike L, for that reason I try to provide links in Spanish when they pop up in my searches. Besides, we know we have an international audience, and it's stuck-up of us to keep our links exclusively English. With romance languages, I can comprehend enough of what's on a website to know essentially what I'm linking to. Not so much in, say, Thai or Korean. But if I spot "Tom Peters" on a page, I'll link to those, too.

Congratulations for your speech in Barcelona. Your ability to play with words and body expression has been amazing. And that ability allows me to recover concepts that you expresed just remembering a slide. Thanks a lot.

Dear Tom,

thank You for the enthusiasm and hope you gave the audience in Barcelona. I'm a designer working in a medium size Company, here, in Barcelona.

I wish a 10% of the clear message you trow at us was applicable here. Unfortunatelly there is a great thick wall high up on the pyramidal type organization.

In your abilities and expertise, ¿do you have a brain surgery department? ¿have you ever tried brain transplant? it does not matter if is succesfull or not, this will come with practice... I can introduce you few candidates.

in this business help is needed, Thank You

Yesterday was a very succesfull day in Barcelona meeting Tom Peters.
I want to thank Tom Peters to have time to be with people who have the only chance of knowing Tom Peters greatest ideas, by reading books.
We hope, we will have some diferent way understanding our work.
Thanks a lot. Margarita Pou
