Week 9 [09.12-15.12.19] Is the lifecycle predictable and can we step out the margins?

By


Human life in Europe is very similar nowadays. People are born, grow up, go to school, college then found the work, create the family, getting the mortgage loan, go the retirement and end a lifecycle. Is this the life we want? This is the life we require rather. The world's economy and environment create standardized us. But some sort of people are changing their priorities and age does not matter.
The 74 years man in the video below talks about how his life was changed after he was fired in 64 years old, and how he created the start-up 2 years later.



1)      What would you do if you were that man?
2)      Do you think he found the solution for old people? Can you treat it as a reborn?
3)      How do you plan to spend your pension? 
4)      If you asked your grandpa or grandma, they want to create the start-up, what could be the answer?

1) What would you do if you were that man?
I would prefer a simple life in a woods with family each day passing by slowly as we chop wood, prepare meal and play all my games gathered on Steam. I hope so at least.

2) Do you think he found the solution for old people? Can you treat it as a reborn?
Yes, seniors have amazing experience and if they are not sick or having problems with their heads they should consider this approach. It may give their life a new meaning and feeling fresh, a true reborn.

3) How do you plan to spend your pension?
In the house close to the woods, chopping wood, preparing meal and playing all my gathered games. Of course taking care of grandchildren and teaching them useful tricks also counts.

4) If you asked your grandpa or grandma, they want to create the start-up, what could be the answer?
'Oh my gosh, Karol, please stop joking I am to old and tired for this kind of stuff' but my grandpa and grandmas never where a CEO or something so maybe that's why.

It's hard to say, because I just simply can't imagine myself in his age. The idea is great and I think a lot of senior people get power and will to become an entrepreneur. I was dreaming of be able have a good cigar and spending a lot of time talking to other people, young generation, seniors. I know answer of my grandparents and it is "No". Because they don't want too, they are afraid, tired and don't want anything.

Your point of view is great. I just can imagine the grandpa who is playing the games. Especially the games from 2019 in 2059. That is definitely interesting.

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

By
Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

By
The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds...
