FWD: Wear Sunscreen

.

I almost every day receive a forwarded email with some wise thoughts and advices. When I open these (if I open these at all, since these emails always tend to be more or less the same), I always wonder if the sender has taken any single action upon these advices. And then, the following question pops into my mind:

How would the sender make a bigger difference: If he/she forwards these advices to all of his/her friends or if he/she takes any action based on the suggestions in these very touching emails?

Wear Sunscreen

Are we afraid to open up?

.

Probably I don't share a common opinion with many people about this topic.

I've never had problem with opening up with others and share my feelings and many of my secrets. At least not because of being afraid of getting hurt. Why?

Because I always thought that people are constantly changing. Me too. And if I share my feellings I'm not the same person any more who I was when I kept it inside. I'm even a different person after sharing it with someone. After opening up, sharing a part of my life with somebody, I feel free, because I'm not attached to my "secret" any more. I can move on, grow, live the presence and focus on other things. While when I'm afraid of sharing something, I feel like a prisoner of the very feeling/secret that I'm attached to. And that's not a good feeling...

So why not to open up? ;)

Shared Feelings

Angel's War

.

I was suggested to free up some time and schedule some "daydreaming" time into my weekly activities. The purpose of this would be let my mind flow, to let my mind live its own creativity.

The scheduling was OK, I scheduled 3 times 2 hours for that - keeping the schedule was much less successful. I took only 1 time 1 hour for this so far. I think I aimed too "high". I'll need to schedule smaller period of times for daydreaming - but it can be more frequent.

I guess I underestimate the power of relaxation & recharging. In the last weeks I figured out the optimum sleeping hours I need - by trial & error method -, now it's time to find out the optimum period of time & frequency for my "alone time"!

It's so interesting to listen to the 2 angels arguing inside me:

- "Daydreaming? Alone time? What do you want??? It's nothing but wasting your expensive time!"

- "Do you think so?! Just Watch and Learn! Watch how much I'm going to enjoy this special time and Be Impressed how much more effective and creative I will become in problem solving in the rest of my activities!"

I can't wait to prove my 2nd angel's right! ;)

I wonder in what ways can this creativity time improve my life!!! ;)

Question Marks???

.

When do I daydream? and / or Why do I daydream?

These were the questions in my mind when I finished my session with my life coach, Patricia. We spent one hour together without catching myself on daydreaming or getting distracting, which has been extremely rare in my life. So I tried to figure out what are so special about our coaching sessions. The day after I figured out that the questions are the answers. No matter how interesting the topic I read / listen to can be, I can't focus on. My mind need to be directed - by challenges. The more interesting challenges, tasks, questions are directed to my mind, the less distracted it gets.

I thought I'm missing some rock solid statements, principles in my life. Maybe I was wrong, all I need is some razor sharp question mark! ;)

Can we pretend that the men represent the statements and the women represent the questions? So indeed, all I need is a woman? ;)

Who are you? ;)

No excuses.

.

I haven't posted anything for more than a half year - no excuses.

Long story in short: I enjoyed my time in Mozambique, after I had a fantastic 2 months motorbike tour visiting my friends in Denmark-Germany-Netherlands-Belgium-England-Scotland-England-Belgium-Netherlands-Slovakia.

You can see many of my pictures about this trip on Facebook...

After that I spent a few weeks with my family in Hungary.

Only Us

And now, I'm full of energy and I'm living my dream in London!
What do I do here?
I train myself into two very special fields:
1. Social Care & Youth Work
2. Internet Marketing

Why these fields?

1. Well, I will never forget how much I enjoyed working with the kids in Denmark during my volunteer program. It was like living my 2nd childhood with them!!! Most of you also know that I like helping, serving people and I like big, quality conversations. When I put all these together, I realized I must become a youth worker. Besides this, I have 2 of my friends in Hungary (graduated in Child psychology) waiting for me to return to my country and set up an NGO / Social Entrepreneurship for supporting children. So these are my motivations for this field.

2. The internet marketing. I think I don't have to explain this a lot. Most of you know that:
- I'm internet addicted,
- I like challenges,
- I like going crazy,
- I like playing around,

So I asked myself why not make some money from my passion. I couldn't come up with a single reason, and I started to realize how much money can be earned from the internet so I made a commitment:

I'm committed to earn $1.000.000 by January 2013.

I can't help, I just like challenges that seems to be impossible for the majority! ;) Anyway, that Hungarian NGO we're going to set up is going to need some financial support - and I really don't want to rely on the Hungarian Government in this issue (No Offense to Anybody :) ).

So, I'm back and I'm going to continue writing off all my thoughts that cannot stay in my head!!! ;)

Watch out!!!! The Loch-Ness Monster is Back!!!

Missing

I just realized how muuuuuch I miss my bike...
So-so much!!!

Investigation Week - Inhambane 1.

.

During this 6 months program, we have the possibility 2 times for travelling: 1 for Holiday and another week for Investigation week. I used my investigation week for visiting Humana EPF (Teacher Training College) projects in Inhambane and Gaza to make a survey with some of the EPF students about their basic knowledge of Health (HIV / Malaria / Diarrhea / Nutrition). I also used this possibility to get to know the other DI projects.

First I went back to Inhambane - where I enjoyed Miguel's company (and help) again.
Here, the Teacher Training College is new, they built it only 2-3 years ago. The campus and the classrooms are done, but they are just have been finishing the construction of the administration building. There are only 90 students here (compared to the other EPF schools, where there are twice as much as here). I prefered this smaller headcount, it felt more like living in a big family where everybody knows everybody.

EPF Inhambane

The EPF students live in a queite nice circumstances in these new houses (only 15km away from the beach). The only problem about this place, that the people who choosed this land for building a school, they forgot about the rainy season: that time, they got 30-40cm water - they have to walk in the water from their houses to the classrooms...

EPF students' houses

Miguel - the DI here - helps the teachers in the daily work too, but his main job is teaching "computer literacy" for the students. He must have lot of patience, because for most of these students (age of 18-22) this is the first time seeing computer: they don't know what the Windows is, how to use the mouse or how to make capital letters... They make all the tests, and homework on paper. Miguel's goal is teach all of his student how to write their reports in Word and giving a very basic knowledge of Excel & Power Point. This requires lots of patience from him (all my respect to him). On the other hand it pays off when you see them to be interested in it and enthusiastic. And they learn fast.

There is also another project here: The Child Aid. The name of the project is misleading, the project deals more with the parents and the community than the children. The DI's here work on income generation projects - mainly farming. Right now there is no volunteer here, the next DI will come in August, so Miguel showed me around here too...
Thank you Miguel again for your help & guiding! ;)

That's how the project leader travels here ;)

This is not a Kawasaki but still... The road quality to the community is not always the best but there are no obstacles for this sweet Honda... ;)
