Customers Analysis

I.        Introduction Strategic planning is an activity that is conducted within an organization in order to set priorities, strengthen day-to-day operations and ensure that both employees and stakeholders are working toward the same goals. It is also an effort to produce a guideline that shows what the company does, why the company does it, and who the company serves. Effective strategic planning focuses not only where the company is going in the future, but also how the company will know if it is successful in achieving the goals (Maleka, 2014). There are different steps and methodologies for strategic planning, however there are no absolute rules concerning the right framework. In this assignment, the writer will start with the first phase, which is analyzing the current customer segmentation.

I can't break it to my heart

If it's okay, I will leave the bed light on.  and place your water glass where it belongs. And if it's alright,  I will lie awake at night,  pretending i am curled up at your side. You see how I am circling in these patterns?  how I am living, out of memories?  I am still a long way from accepting it,  that there's just no you and me. Did I commit a crime?  I won't believe that loving you was just a waste of time.  or was it in my head, that I am reading into things that you never said?  Because I still don't have the answers,  to why we couldn't work it out.

Franz Schubert - Trio No. 2 in E-flat major for piano, violin, and violoncello, D. 92

This beautiful piece, Trio No. 2 in E-flat major for piano, violin, and violoncello, D. 929 by Franz Schubert was composed for the engagement party of Schubert’s school-friend, Josef von Spaun. I often wonder why I am immensely comfortable with D, I don’t want to use the word ‘love’ here because if I define love based on my definition of love which is to no longer have a hint of selfishness in it, no fear, no dependence, no jealousy nor possessiveness, then certainly what I am feeling towards D is not love. Yet I know that I am immensely comfortable with him. Is it because at most I consider him as my best friend? A friend that causes me to be at ease, relaxed, secure, safe, unworried, contented. A friend that causes me to be happy? But why? And then I understood that it is because of life. It is because he has a deep interest in life, life as a whole, life as a continuity and because life is an ever changing process, so too will our discussions, our thoughts, and ultimat...
