Quality life project

Internet is great. There is no doubt.  I remember when I grew up and internet and computers just started to become a thing for the middle-class. If used correctly, it was a way to find information about things that interested you. Cellphones started becoming a thing at this time too, so I found a lot of information about cellphones. I read about the Nokias and knew "everything" that you needed to know about the phones. There were not a lot of them at that time, so learning "everything" was quick. Using the internet to gain knowledge today is even easier. But there is so much information about everything, just consider how many results you get when you google something. Usually millions, right? To use the internet successfully in this era, I think you need to have some basic skills. Like critical thinking to know whether what you read is true or false. Is someone trying to mislead you? And perhaps, even more important, trying to figure out what somebody is trying to ...

Pioneers of Medicine improve our lives The medical field is fantastic, being able to save peoples live during emergencies and improving the health of patients is cool. Do we take the medical field for granted? Do you remember how healthcare professionals were treated during the pandemic of the corona virus? People working in healthcare were assigned this role of having a critical work, where they helped people who were critically ill due to infections. They worked their asses off and got thanked with applauds and maybe some flowers if they were lucky. Now, after the pandemic, they still work their asses off and still did not get a proper thank you for their service. So, perhaps we take the people working in healthcare and medicine for granted, perhaps we do not properly appreciate what they do to save us. Here are 5 cool things in medicine that have improved the capability of treatments of patients: 1. CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing Maybe you have heard about this one, or maybe you have seen...

Presidential Elections & summer is over Go and vote in the upcoming elections The presidential elections are coming up, the sitting president is getting replaced by his Vice President. Meanwhile the republican VP candidate has been named, and another one has been named for the democrats. Clearly, a lot is going on in the American presidential elections, and the result it will produce will have a significant effect on the future of the country -- and also on the rest of the world. I am not going to tell you who to vote for, but I am going to ask you to go cast your vote. Take a look at the candidates and try to figure out who would make your  life better, which candidate would work to improve the lives of people you care about? What is the right way? Do some research, and then decide to go vote in the presidential elections, because it is very important that you do.

 If you've read my previous post, you will know that I have not been feeling very well. That has changed for the better and I am now starting to make progress in life again. During these rough times I re-discovered a game that gave me some kind of safety and meaning during pointless days. The game is called Minecraft. Most of you have probably heard it before, maybe that it is a game with really awful graphics and no real meaning. That it has no real meaning is somewhat true and paradoxically untrue. Minecraft is a sandbox game, where you create the meaning. So how do you describe the game? Imagine you are a child again, maybe in the school yard's sandbox or at the beach. You are playing with the sand and using your imagination to have fun. Maybe you find some insects to play with, or you start to build a structure.  Minecraft is similar, but far more advanced. It is a game that is very suitable for children, but also for adults. Why? It is both advanced and basic. You need so...

 Consistency is key to making progress, this is more true and more important during rough times. For the past years I've made significant progress in my life that I would like to share with the internet.  I am currently working on making articles with information about how I did certain things that could be of interest for the public. Things such as; getting a promotion, changing your eating and exercising habits, fighting through depression, becoming a better friend/partner. Please note that these are my experiences, if you are in a rough spot you might want to consider asking for help. If you are depressed, you should seek medical help. 

We hear dozens of stories about people being hacked everyday, our privacy is at risk when we share private information on the internet. You might think that it's not public information, but what happens when someone gains access to your accounts where they can see your information? Or what if you trust a company that gets hacked or goes rogue. How much is your information worth to you? There's way around this of course.

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 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...

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...

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.

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.

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. Just by reading this far, you might notice that there's a huge conflict in interest. If you want to read more about this, you can read the article in Wall Street Journal where I read about this.

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? This varies depending on what kind of business you're in. Skills that people have are obtained through hard practice, you can obtain these skills too. You will have to work hard, but if you want to you can. Ask your boss if you can have a meeting about your career. Prepare a paper with some questions you want to ask. Brainstorm and write down anything you want to know. Some tips are: What are the primary result areas that your boss looks at? This depends on what you're on the payroll to do. What does your boss expect from you? What results do you think your boss wants to see from you in order to say that you're doing good? If you...

The spanish football league is usually described as a league featuring two teams who fight for the two top spots, and the rest of the league's teams are below those two. The two teams are the giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF. This is without a doubt how the league table looks like at most of season ends.  However, this season it might be different. Real Madrid is currently number 3 at the league table. With half of the seasons games played they have 18 points up to the leaders Barcelona, 7 points up to the runner ups Atletico Madrid and are just 3 points ahead of Real Betis. Third place in the league means you get the last spot for Champions League. Fourth on the other hand means you still have a chance to play it but you have to qualify.  So this season one of the best teams might have to fight for a spot to qualify for Champions League!  There's still the other half of the season left though. So this situation might change. We will see at the end of the...

Some days I experience a serious lack of motivation to post new blog entries. I think to myself that it's not important, it's just something I do in my sparetime. And after all, I barely have any readers. So basically no one misses out. But no, that's not a way to think. I started this blog for a reason, and I want to keep posting entries even if it's hard to write some days. I don't want to see big gaps when I look in the archive. After all, I created this blog to develop my writing and thinking. So, how did I solve this problem? As I said, some days I just have no motivation or inspiration at all. But some days I almost drown in motivation and inspiration. So why not make use of that. There's a function that allows you to schedule when your entries will be published. So if you write three entries then you won't have to write something the next day and the day after that if you don't feel that you have something to write about. Eventually you wi...

The humble midfielder Andrés Iniesta made some headlines in Spain when he saved the old the club he played in as a kid by becoming their main shareholder. During a ceremony at Albacetes arena with a new name, "Ciudad Deportiva Andrés Iniesta", Iniesta thanked the club for naming the arena after him and took the moment in act to urge the kids of the club to make use of the facilities. He told them to make use of every moment and do their best to develop and follow their dream to be a professional football player. He said he was an Albacete fan too and that together they would manage to get through the spanish third division club crisis. I really like this gesture. It's always nice when you read positive headlines about superstars like Iniesta. The clubs crest.

What kind of music do you listen to when you need to relax? I have always liked classic music for these situations. But I recently discovered classic songs played with flute! Talk about relaxing. It's very pleasant in situations like in the metro when you just want to shut yourself out from the stressing public and focus on your thoughts or perhaps a nice book.

The things you can do on internet is growing rapidly. Now you can do your groceries through the internet and someone will deliver it to your door, you can talk to your friends, read the newspaper and more. There's many ways to make money on the internet. They are not secrets. However, you need to work hard! Most people would really like to be able to make money from their homes. This makes the competition for the income big. So, how can I make money you might think to yourself. Well, first of all, what skills do you have that might be of use? What experience? What connections? Do you know someone that works with marketing? Do you know someone who works with websites? What might be of use for you? Write this down, brainstorm! Anything that pops up in your head is good. When you have an overview of what might help you making money through the internet, you will probably have an idea of what you can do to make money. Do you have teenagers who went through a rough time? Well, why...

...10 million dollars? You could do anything you wanted with the money. You have all the connections you need to do what you want. But, you'll be dead in 10 years. Thinking this way might be good, because then you know what you truly want to do with your life! What's the point of owning things when the biggest feeling you have is the fear of losing what you've got. I think life should be enjoyed without thinking about the material stuff. Traveling the world, talking to people new people, learning languages, cooking sounds more fun than having a nice car! And haven't most of us at least once thought about some kind of company you would want to start up? Haven't a nice idea popped up in our heads at least once? But we stopped thinking about it because it would be to hard to follow through without money and connection? Well guess what? You can get the money. And the connections.
