Sustainable Society

Met my supervisor on Monday - looks like my research is going to take a serious sustainability angle. I think it is great :) I keep thinking about that article I've read in UAE embassy last year. It was talking about how current economy model is not working - because of environmental damage that it causes and very unequal goods distribution. Further to that I've heard another discussion of the same topic, but in that case the underutilisation of the current youth was mentioned as a symptom of the economic model problem.
I certainly do not understand what is economic model in general and what is the current one exactly, that's why my thinking is so vague. But I think that is something that I must look into in my research as well. Economically sustainable society should also be able to function without environmental damage and allowing all its members to reach decent level of living..
It's getting more interesting :)

Sunday Mornings..

I am not only getting old, I AM old! Second time I start my Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and Financial Times...My only excuse that it happens during the break on my 23 km morning run (I stop at the gym at 17 km to buy coffee and read newspaper).

PhD = Active Process of Changing Yourself

I think I came up to the root of the difficulty of writing a PhD. It is not so much in writing or learning - it is actively forcefully changing yourself from inside out. You might end up changing everything what you are standing on. Scary - who will you be at the end?

Registration..

So I wrote this post 3 years ago - I see nothing changes in my life, I still see the registration at the university as the worst nightmare. Time to get to the new level? Probably. I FEEL STUCK!

Passion vs Experience

Contemplating on my life experience: all that I've achieved was done with passion. Experience has nothing. In fact the more experienced I am in anything, the worse I perform in it. I need to pay more attention to my passions if I want to achieve more in life...maybe I should learn that zulu ;) And the biggest secret - coding is so-so-so boring! (that's I am getting in touch with my emotions). I really can't do what I know how to do already :(
