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: http://w11.doutromundo.com/site/acervo_detalhe.php?id_livro=10 .

Subject: Principles in Portugese

Hi Folks,

Phelim here.. I'm doing a two day open space event for the fringe
theatre community in Sau Paulo Brasil next week. I've checked out
Lisa's great Glossary for Portugese transalations .. Thanks Lisa. But
i find it doesn't have translations for the actual four principles on
Portugese so wondered if anyone had experience of working there and
advice?. We can of course work these out when we get there on Sunday
but just wondered if anyone had anything to say..

love Phelim
