Finally graduated!

Before starting the grumpy aunt role, congratulations to all successful students in baccalaureate.

It’s very overwhelming to see how many Moroccan youth get easily their baccalaureate today, graduate from high school and go to university. It does reflect, somehow, the new common maturity level in Morocco about the importance of education.

Although, things are getting exaggerated, and silly sometimes. By dint of having a lot of people getting high grades, and announcing each day a new person getting the highest score, we don’t know if it’s a matter of candidates’ intelligence or exams’ derision.

Anyways, this led me to think about the scarcity principle which perfectly applies to this situation. When we overdo things, or when they are easily accessible by everyone, they lose their value. A few decades ago for example, products became easily imitated. Companies had to bring something new, innovative and difficult to get: services! 

So now that grades will no longer mean anything, maybe this path will take us to a better place, in where we believe in soft skills and “out class” capacities. Which will surely be great, despite the costly and tiring process!

After all, how many people got once and for all the highest score in 2019?

My journey of being ugly.

Image
Magic mirror, who is the fairest one of all ? I have always been asking myself if the amount of time I take to embellish my physical appearance is self-affirmation or a sort of expel from the nametags I have been given : fat, ugly, chubby… The way I get frustrated if a pimple shows up on my periods or if my belly is showing is far from being normal. Because the normal woman I should be is a put together one, with a fair skin and a shaped body. The idealized body image we all get from the unattainable beauty standards extinguishes one’s confidence, and so it did for me. My experience of not being beautiful enough led me into eating disorders, self underestimation and social withdrawal in a period of my life. At some point, I realized that self harm was my one and only alternative to appeal the love I wished for, the job I dreamed of or the future self-projection I had. Before scrolling Instagram, there were TV shows and fashion industry that used to give us t...

دخول الحمام ماشي بحال خروجو

I have to say it: “the Marketer’s eye” virus is invading me, and I can never withdraw. Everything I experience gets directly to my brain cells to flash that a marketing issue is behind. I feel like marketing has become my language, or my brain’s language. It’s all like drugs, once you start you will never stop easily.   Scene 1: At the gym Women in my city are now storming gyms hugely. While I used to be exercising with a very small group for years, since the start of 2019 I can never find an empty place. It sucks, but it’s beautiful! Thanks to sports marketing. Scene 2: At home I always have a daily long argue with mom. Today, she chose my hair as a subject. I never want my hair to get properly long as “women must do”, or “20 years old ladies must do”. The feminine figure of long silk black hair is my mom’s “hair philosophy” ; and it’s all because of ads. Marketing, again… Scene 3: At school Our Professor told us proudly last time that something he couldn’t de...

PNL : Viser le monde, ou rien

Image
Since the release of « Deux frères » the new PNL album on the 5 th of April, all the records have been broken. Deezer, Spotify and Youtube have known a huge keen interest in PNL songs, especially “Au DD”. Let’s speak PNL!     Ambiguity insures curiosity: Everyone knows PNL, nobody knows PNL. This young French group has perfectly mastered the scarcity principle. Rare hits, no interviews and no featuring! PNL has never done an interview, never featured with an artist and never released more than 2 hits/year since they became relatively famous.       Marketing, their currency: Let the people follow us, we don’t follow anyone. ·         On the 4 th of April evening, the two brothers have surprised their fans, by traveling Paris abroad a bus and offering a mini-concert at the top of Les Champs-Elysées. ·          A 600m² poster has been put in place in Paris,...
