Eco friendly transport can be also cool!

I am pretty sure that some of You have already seen this awesome thing on the web, but I'm pretty sure that some of You haven't (and this post is for You my friends :) ). Thit THING is SCROOSER!
Here You can check few photos I got for You, but if You willing to know more I would recommend to check official web page http://scrooser.com .
Scrooser did catch my attention from the first time i saw it. How ever I have never been really in to saving planet ideas by using electric vehicles or something like that. Why? Because I never thought PRIUS looks cool :)
I also find bicycles useful but this transport can't be chosen for going to business meeting because of physical force needed. The first impression would be really sad if You meet Your new partner all in sweat.
The second option for eco friendly transport is Segway, in fact it's quiet well known in Lithuania and has a good practical usage, but does it look cool? Not really sure, maybe stylish but not cool.
So:
- SEGWAY = Stylish --> Eco friendly --> Not cool;
- SCROOSER = Stylish --> Eco friendly --> Cool & Awesome ;) 
Cruise in style my friends!

      

Positive actions in politics should be considered more often

     Most of former USSR countries have politics, that act like very powerful persons who do not make mistakes, who can make decisions on their own and can handle very well without family or any other help. For example Vladimir Putin (Russian President) got divorced with his wife. Dalia Grybauskaitė (Lithuanian President) not married. Alexander Lukashenko (Belorussian President) is a single father. All of these politics are strong politics, but i rather choose politics who are down to earth and not showing strictness and arrogance.

    Sadly Lithuanian politics not yet (or maybe people not ready for this type of politics) ready for being just a humans, who would announce about making mistakes or talking about their daily life and problems.

     peaceful solutions such as:

Believe me or not, but this is a good example of politic :)

I do admire Antanas Mockus, former Mayer of Bogota (Colombia). What I like most about him, is a creativity in solving problems with a

   - Mimes, who were used instead of policemen trying to lower amount of people who died in the traffic;

   - Volunteer taxes;

   - Presents for people who brought their guns to municipality and even kids who brought their toy guns to municipality were given peaceful toys.

     It's only a few positive actions made by Antanas Mockus, You can easily browse on the internet and get more information about this.

     I think You have heard people saying that evil give birth to evil and i think only positive politic can handle cities or countries effectively, only this type of politics can leave people satisfied with their work.

     Why do Lithuanian politics try to control every move You make? Drinking alcohol in public has been banned, but instead of lowering amount of used alcohol people began to drink even more :o Do You think domestic alcoholism is better when having a few bottles of beer in Public? Drinking at home gives You possibility not to worry about how You will get home, so You can drink even more. Worst thing of alcoholism at home is that small kids will see all this bad behavior of their parents. All the state-owned enterprises act like they were established not for consulting, but for punishing (however they punish people and companies who pay taxes and that is where they get budget for functioning). These people are cold public servants, but their actions shows that public serves for them. And that is because often politics helps party members to get the job in state-owned enterprises and usually this type of people are not specialists. This irresponsibility will harm future of cities and country, no loyalty can be expected in this type of ruling country. What is the point of being loyal to Your homeland if You feel foreign in it?

     Hope more and more politics will understand that it is their duty to serve people but not to serve a small circle of chosen!

Citizen. Can vote or has to vote in elections?

     In democratic countries citizens can vote during local governments, parliaments or Presidents elections. Politics usually say that it is citizens duty to take part in elections, because society must take responsibility for things that happens in their country (In my case - Lithuania, while i live here) by choosing right politics. But can we name elections fully democratic? Can Your vote change political situation or maybe elections are only an option (Vote if You want, or don't vote at all)?

    

Plenty of people were arrested and suffered injuries during rally in 2009. Democracy? 

For example in Lithuania there are lot's of political parties and they give rankings to their members (usually loyal, but not competent), and people who are 18+ during voting time can give ranks to politics, but if you leave empty gaps in place there you should rank politics, it means your votes goes to political parties members who are highly ranked. And this is the key moment that helps politics that are criticized to stay on top! How can 70+ years old people give rankings if they have vision problems? (I think it's normal to have vision problems when You are old). They can't be helped by volunteers or any other because of possibility to influence their choice. I have participated as a volunteer once (who watched if elections goes without breaking laws) and saw that plenty of old people came to vote and they were not available to read the list of political parties members . That means choosing a political party is the main challenge for them but choosing politic is almost impossible. So You can be too young to vote, but never too old, because old people make "right" decisions by leaving empty gaps and giving (not directly) votes to leaders of political parties. I am not against old people voting, but if voting on the internet would be possible, relatives could help parents or grand parents to vote, and not only more votes  would be received, but it also would be quality votes in elections. I know that politics says that internet voting is not secure, but during local governments voting in Lithuania (2015) there were plenty of violations. In fact in some regions voting results has been canceled. The possibility to cheat exists in real life and also internet, but if people will have more options to vote, more motivation they will have to participate in elections.

     I have discussed several problems with voting (political parties ranking, only real voting possibility) but to conclude i would say that in democratic country should not be used "HAS TO", only "CAN TO", because everything in free society should happen by free will, and if You don't see right politics, You can simply go to the pub and drink beer instead of going to elections. It's Your choice that has to be respected in real democracy.  

Exercise as a habit

    So we often hear that we should live a healthy life. It's recommended to eat healthy food, avoid drugs and alcohol and of course EXERCISE.

Mila - Akita Inu puppy

    Don't know how about You guys, but i find it hard to make daily trainings as habit. For me it's more like daily routine (except first month) and I don't really care how sexy women and girls go to the gym, after some time of period i really get pissed training in the gym.

    Now I have some activity that really makes me walk and run every day, not for once, but for several times. And this activity is walking with a dog :) . Recently I bought Akita - Inu dog, witch I  named Mila. While Mila at the moment is a young dog and outdoor it's quiet cool, usually my little fellow sleeps in my room. If You don't wake up early and not going for a walk, You will simply find a present for You, witch of course should be cleaned and You are not willing to get :) .

    I really hope later on I and Mila going to increase the distances of walking and running, hope my dog to be in a best physical form.
     If You have any secret ways of making trainings as a routine, hope You share this secret with others.

    

Manipulation of motivation

    Okey, so today i decided to write about some people that try to manipulate Your motivation to do some kind of job that gives most benefits to them.

     First group that manipulates most is government, for example in Lithuania most of local municipality have some problems with clarity and effectiveness. You can find plenty of information about hiring not specialists, but friends, relatives and so on. And all this stuff is cool for me till the job is done, but not in governmental companies. This kind of system forces system to run ineffectively and after that politics stands against crowd and blames people who by illegal fuel, cigarets and other stuff and do not pay taxes. Come on... They want people to be loyal to country and find self motivation to stick to the rules, but ignore illegal things government do! And that is absurd.

     Most employers want their employee to be motivated. Than an employee is motivated, he might do more jobs than he actually should. After all you get a reward "good job!". However not much can be bought for "good job", after You go through cash desk in shop try not to pay but say "good items" and You will see how it ends.

    Just as for all the items must be payed, for all kind of job also You need to be rewarded.

    And another funny thing I’ve met in Lithuanian businessmen. They really like innovative things, and willing this for their companies, but thinking that they can get some service not paying for it is stupid. And the argument was "you should be proud of working with our company" sounds a bit silly in nowadays. Hello there, you can be proud of partnership but not of slavery, and that what it is, than it's not payed for some services and products.

     So guys, wish You be self motivated for things that really drives You and be careful, don't let anybody manipulate Your kindness or passion. You should stop any unprofitable activity when it's not fun anymore and only delights others.     

Movie Vs book, whitch is better!

     OK, so You have some free time and willing to relax. Good mood is a key to success so You have to spend your time wisely. 

     Let's imagine, You have two options 1. Read a book; 2. Watch a movie.

    Why do i compare these two activities? Books used to be read very frequently in the past, but after technologies improved, different type of movies were made in film industry. Now You can watch horror films, science fiction, romantic, comedies, different tales. Also most of successful novels has the screening.

    So i will write some advantages and disadvantages that are based on my own opinion.

Advantages of book:

1. The characters are not visualized, so if You have a good imagination, then You certainly going to like characters;

2. You can find more detailed story in books, rather than movies;

3.  You can read book from for example 15 minutes per day, till 8 or even 10 hours per day. Time spent reading books depends on Your own will.

4. You can repeat different chapters if You didn't understand them, or You can simply move to chapter witch You want to specify.

Disadvantages of books:

1. You need a lot of time to finish reading a book (compared to movie).

2. Expensive.

3. Special effects (Nahh... can't complain my imagination :) )

Advantages of movies:

1. Takes a little time.

2. You can be a fan of some actor and only because of him or his acting skill You are going to like some stories (respect to actors, really hard profession).

3. Realistic special effects (If You watch movie about something You don't understand, visualization can make information much more common).

Disadvantages of movies:

1. Acting of actors can be disappointing.

2. Stories can be not detailed.

3. It's not that easy moving from one chapter to other (if You didn't understand some parts);

4. Plenty of illegal movies are on the internet, so if You download films illegally, You support criminal activity.

     On the end i can say that You decide what advantages and disadvantages suits better for You, but this evening I'm certainly going to grab a book! 

Rituals of success

     Today i decided to write my opinion about crazy stuff we do to attract success.

   I've heard and read some funny things sportsmen do before important games. Here  are some examples:

- Wear dirty socks (fuuuuu....);

- During the game wear underwear reverse way;

- Sleep before night with Teddy bear;

- Avoid sex (Ok sex can actually take to much of Your energy :) )

- Wear different shoes and so on.

     So why do we need this. None of these actions actually influence sports players game physically. For example if You decide to drink beer before the game, You will probably influence Your activity negative way (alcohol influences our reaction, movement speed, coordination), but rituals of success people do mostly will not influence anything, unless it will help us mentally! 

     So can we attract success? I guess the answer not in teddy bears and dirty socks, the answer is in our faith, witch is closely connected to what and how we desire our goals and achievements!
