We're back!

Hello old and new readers, I have good news for you and me. The blog is going to be active again. The fundamentals of the blog changed drastically and I lost interest. Basically from the start this blog was an experiment and short stories in the modern form of a blog. It was about a character with disabilities who wrote blog entries to spread information about his life. However, it changed to a blog about reaching a high quality life and that is what we will focus on in the future. With that being said though, the character James might make a comeback with some creative stories to say. In this blog you will read about: Goals -- setting goals, achieving and how to work out a plan Reviews and posts about various desired things such as cars, gadgets, travel destinations and so on Personal experiences Moneymaking If there's a topic you would like to read about, do not hesitate to let us know. I'm looking forward to write again and interact with you.

Do you have a moneymaking goal this year?

Do you want to make enough money to buy something? Or do you want to experience security by having a sum of money saved on your bank account? If your goal is to save $20,000 a year, you should divide it with 12. 20,000 divided by 12 equals about 1667. This means in order to reach your goal all you have to do is save 1667 dollars a month. If you do this every single month, you will automatically reach your goal. Having money on your bank account is good because first of all it will grow with the interest rate, second of all it's always nice to know that if a big once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes up, you have the money for it. Third of all, having money saved is something expected by adults. Now, 20,000 dollars might not be the most optimal goal for everyone. If you don't have enough money to save after your expenses you might have to look at a smaller goal. But even if it's not big money being saved it's a really good habit because when you make more in th...

Upcoming changes to blog

Originally when I started this blog I was going to write fictional stories about a character I later decided was called James. I made up some stories and lost interest in that kind of writing. However, it changed my thinking. I realized that if someone who's in a wheelchair due to an accident can recover. Then why wouldn't someone with a bad life be able to turn it into a good life? I thought about it and tried looking it up. I found out that many successful people started with a poor background. But with constant hard work they managed to turn their lives around and their life quality skyrocketed. This is what the blog will be about from now on. If you've read earlier entries from January you'll notice that I've already written some entries about this. But from now on it will only be about this. I have changed the name of the blog from "the life of an handicap" to "quality life project". This is a project and you are more than welcome t...

Driver's license

The last two weeks I've been working hard to finally get a driver's license. I really need it for my work and that's what has motivated my to work for it. In Sweden there's a lot you need to learn, for an instance eco-driving, safety rules and stuff like that. If you have troubles getting yours, just try to focus only on studying or learning how to drive. Even if you do it for just a couple of days, you'll notice that you've learned a lot.

Good way to get an overview of books you've read

If you read many books it gets tricky to remember which books you've read, what it was about and what you thought about it. I had this problem but I figured there had to be a good way to keep track of your reading. I found the website Goodreads . At Goodreads you create a virtual bookshelf where you add the books you've read. If you want, you can rate the books and after you've rated 20 you'll get suggestions about books that you might like based on what you've read and liked. That's not all, you can search for books by entering a genre or a subject that you want to learn more about. Then you can read reviews written by other users that might tell if the book is fitting your expectations and needs.

La Liga: Agent controlling football Madrid?

The portuguese super agent manages players in Real Madrid with an estimated worth of approximately $500 millions. However, he's not only managing Real Madrid superstars. He's also managing some of the players in Atletico Madrid, one of them who is also their biggest star, the striker Falcao. But that's not all. He also manages the manager of Real Madrid. The club who is in a odd situation. José Mourinho, the manager of Real Madrid decides what players he wants to bring in, what contracts to renew, how big salary they are entitled to and so on.

Still waiting for a promotion?

Are you wondering when your boss will ask you to meet him at your office to tell you that you've been working hard and have deserved to move up a level? Chances are you will be waiting very long for that to happen. So why not prepare some questions and set up a meeting with your boss and find out what is required to get promoted?
