Choices...

Last week I got a question from one of my blog readers to write something which would motive to sit and write final dissertation. Honestly - I can not. Because today I made a choice which I am not proud of it at all, but maybe someone else will get motivated from my failures..

It´s hard to change the way of living if all your life you were having the same routine. We all know, what the humans mind can do - to make impossible to become possible. To make all changes in yourself if you want.. That is why there is a saying: ´if you want to change the world, change your mind´.  Right. Everything depends on you, what you want to do with your own life..   But sometimes we have a lack of motivation. 

Lack of motivation usually is caused by something more important. Priorities. Honestly, this semester, which is my final bachelor semester, I already started with the background of failing my studies. When I say ´Failure´, I don´t mean that I wouldn´t pass my final project, I am not scared to say - I am smart enough to do it, but I would not finish it with the grade which I want to score..  And this is the failure for me.  

Every beginning of the week, I promise for myself to put myself together and study the way I should. But my mind is blocked with the bigger priority. And this is the health. Maybe its strange to hear it from me, small active smiley person, talking about the Health, but lucky or unlucky I got to know that this untouchable power is important. If you don´t have the energy - you don´t want to do stuff. Your mind is messy and complicated.  We all know the Maslow´s Theory of Motivation, which says, that firstly basic needs should be covered in order to pursue self actualization.  Therefore I decided to split up my semester and to do just half of what is expected - I will write my dissertation now and leave final project for coming one. I am not proud. I am not satisfied. That´s even completely different from what I am (I love challenges!) But I feel that having less messy mind is more healthier for me at the moment. I could do more stuff which makes me happy and next semester feeling powerful again I will get the grade which I want. So there is no right or wrong.. There is the way you want to be. 

Note for the lazy bastards: 
FACEBOOK IS NOT SOMETHING WHICH MAKES YOU MORE HAPPIER AND FULFILLING YOUR LIFE. PUT PARENTAL  SETTINGS ON YOUR COMPUTER, SHUT INTERNET CONNECTION IF ITS NEEDED, BREATH IN, BREATH OUT - SIT DOWN AND WRITE YOUR PAPER!

Foreigner rights in Denmark

My mum some time ago asked me some stuff about foreigner rights in Denmark. And she was very surprised when I could not tell much about it. I told her, law is not the adventure book, its not that interesting to read in your leasure time. But what I do know now, it is really important to know that in this country here are rules for everything. If you have a doubt - try to find what Danish law says about it. Of course, being a foreigner could be a problem, because everything is written in Danish (but hey! Google translator is an awesome invention! And I am sure if you ask Danes , they will always help you).  You can try to ask a help from Kommune, but when Kommune don´t give you an answer or if they still leave you in a doubt, you should try to find it yourself...


Where to search for information?


https://www.borger.dk/Emner/udlaendinge-i-danmark/Sider/default.aspx
Udlændinge i Danmark means Foreigners in Denmark.


I bet there are all answers in all your questions. Can´t find the information which you need? 


Then contact Borgerservice. They are here to help you!
This is a Website where they explain how to contact them:
https://www.borger.dk/OmBorgerDK/vaerdatvide/Sider/Kontaktos.aspx#RichHtmlField2Bookmark0




This is also informative website specially made for Danish foreigners (in various languages)
http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/

That`s a life lesson which I learned this month with the happy ending which I received this morning!




Know your rights, people! :)

Apples apples apples...

Three days ago I bought approx. 20 apples and this morning I realized - just few of them are left! I could never be bored with its taste - always more tastier than a previous one.. 


I never understood why my mum loves apples so much. I remember while I was still living at home with my family they were everywhere and every time. Apple trees are like a royal family in our garden.. so many species with the taste, shape, color differences. I don´t really know why, but our apples were the most tastier comparing with any other existing apples in the world. The look was also perfect  - always wonderful and shiny. Not too sweet and not too sour - just perfect. Grown in ecological way, without any pesticides or other additional stuff. We were making apple juice, apple jams, compotes from them and conserving it for winter. Further more, we were keeping fresh apple fruits, so anytime in any season we could have fresh apples at home. Never liked them that much, and probably because I could get them so easily. But when I went abroad this fruit became the favorite fruit ever. Even though it seemed to be so expensive(before I never paid for an apple)! In Denmark one apple costs 2.5DKK, so for 1euro I could buy just 2 and a bit apple. :) And this is the unite price! 
Last year at the end of the summer I had a chance to be at home.. I was laying on a grass in our garden, under the apple tree and thinking... Oh, that so much money on this tree.. :)


Does it taste good is individual opinion and understanding, but...


Why apple is sooo good?


- The natural mouth freshener
- Low in calories
- Full of fiber (prevents arteriosclerosis and heart disease (because it doesn't allow cholesterol buildup in the blood vessel walls)
- Consists of many vitamins and minerals (Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Calcium, Folate, Iron, Phosphorus, Potassium)
- Protects against cancer
- Stimulates digestion and normalizes it
- Boosts the immune system and helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels


So its definitely worth to eat this beauty!  
                                                   


Have a nice apple day!

Hello world

Ciao Tutti

In some point for everyone comes The Time to start blogging, today I felt it´s a time to freshen up my own world and to (re)start blogging again. It´s a first time when I am doing it in English (don´t really promise to write in this way all the time), but this is one of the small challenges, sooner or later we will see how it goes.. :) 
I don´t expect this blog to become a serious project, but just a small and cozy place to let my thoughts once in a while flow.. 

I´m sure we are going to have a nice time together ;)
