Who made us? The others of course!

You have hesitated very much to tell your memories: “My memories don’t belong to me”, You say. Simone Signoret: It isn’t my memories that don’t belong to me, it’s my life! I consider that one is made by the others and on the moment one tells about oneself one tells about the others.

The lake Siljan in Sweden

Google for the lake Siljan in Sweden: The lake is located around the southwestern perimeter of the Siljansringen (Siljan Ring), a circular geological formation which was formed 377 million years ago in the Devonian by a major meteorite impact.

Where were our ancesters then, 377 million years ago?

Some guys do believe our history started 2000 years ago. That's very foolish!

Some guys do remarkable things

My son in law is a genius designer and carpenter. When he looks on something, even the most complicated structure, he knows instantly how he shall make it again and improve it. He never needs a drawing, his eyes and head are enough. Now I know two such fabulous persons, with enormous capabilities to visualize, leading there own companies. Talk is superfluous!

Change habits … Advance…I

Hypothesis: To change habits and habitual thinking is nearly impossible, at least very difficult. That’s the real enemy to every type of change. The easiest way to change something is to consult a shrink or a therapist. The more educated and the older the more rigid.

Thoughts can be transcendental i.e. they can be transformed into practical actions. There are many ways to advance, and to get multiple benefit from it. I would like to become a coach of some sort, I imagine that, that would benefit my beloved ones very much. Here are som other examples.

Suddenly, without any warning whatsoever pcs might implode, crash, in a twinkle everything’s gone with the wind. My USB-memories backup the computer hard disk and the Word files I write before I copy them to my blog. Analogically, my own blog helps me to express my thoughts, ideas, modes of reasoning ... it’s a sort of personal backup…

Advance…instead of harping on the same old string… whatever harping there is. For instance learn to bargain and negotiate professionally before, before it’s really urgent. Sooner or later that skill will be needed.

I have discovered a great step to improve: I have finally decided to read "Getting to yes, negotiating agreement without giving in" By Roger Fisher and William Ury. I regret now I didn't read it long ago. There are several books by those gentlemen worth reading to get down to essentials. The effect of those books may be a beginning or continuation to reprogramming of the personal BIOS. Those genuine books are some sort of chemistry for crib-biters…!

Old people are nearly always right. Curiosity disappears with age, that’s for sure? Old people seldom expose others to embarrassment and they have learned the difficult art of social competence. For instance how to tell foreigners to pay heed to something or to inform them about interesting places, events etc...

Om barn & ungdom…

Barn & ungdomar har alltid brått. De vill inte missa nått, de måste hela tiden hålla koll på vad kompisarna gör, om nått stort är på G, de måste va med på alla förfester o alla partajer, o efterfester kan de absolut inte missa. Jag ska! Jag ska bara…! först…!

Här följer två verser av en dikt av Charles Baudelaire som heter ”Resan”.

Vi härmar, huga! Leksakssnurran och klotet
I deras snurrande och deras skutt; tom i sömnen
Så plågar och rullar oss nyfikenheten,
Som en grym ängel som slår efter solar.

Lyckans Gudinna som ständigt flyttar sig,
Och hon är ingenstans, kanske ingenstans alls!
Dit man, eftersom hoppet aldrig förtröttas,
För att finna friden alltid springer som en galning!
--------------------------------------------

Barn & ungdomar är otroligt bra på att ta efter, de härmar allt vi äldre gör in i minsta detalj, sedan sitter präglingen fast, länge... Min tanke är att vi aldrig kommer ifrån denna präglingen i unga år. Det enda vi kan göra är att förändra inställningen till detta som förföljer oss. Ungdomarna härmar mest vad vi gör, dvs kroppsspråket primärt, de hör förståss vad vi säger, men de bryr sig inte så mycket om det... , det är sekundärt som det tycks vid första anblicken.

Se’n en dag så slås vi alla av det fasansfulla, liksom av en blixt, en Lidnersk knäpp! Du, barnet är inte barn längre! Men vad är det nu? En tonåring, en vuxen? Jaha, men hur gick det till?
