I´ve become with solution. Every time you´re going to play some sports or whatever game, take a piece of paper with you and write down three (3) things.

Why losing is always so hard? What to do?
I´ve become with solution. Every time you´re going to play some sports or whatever game, take a piece of paper with you and write down three (3) things.
1. I can´t affect my opponents performance. If my opponent stikes all the time, let him throw a strike all the time, i won´t get mad about it. I will concentrate on my own performance, and how can i do it better than last time.
2. When i get mad about losing i look more like a loser compared to when i do my best without flippin´out all the time.
3. I know that i can learn more from losing than from winning because i know that i have to do something in different way. I have to change my style or approach to win the next time and to become better than my opponent.

How come, that some people learn things more efficiently and faster than others?
I started to read Barbara Prashnigs book Diversity is our strength today and suddenly i understood something. I understood that people learn in different ways. I knew it before, but now i really understood it.
The basic teaching methods, which highlight specificly mathematical and linguistic skills including formal performing arts and use mainly analytical, left part of the brain, cannot teach to most of the students that kind of skills which are necessary for surviving easily in this hectic and fast-changing world.
We each have our dominating way of learning: visual, audile or kinesthetic. When someone cannot sit in the class still, teacher advises him to calm down even this student needs to move or do something in order to learn. Teaching methods are so old and don´t replay to this day.
You have to find your own unique way to learn. Easiest way is that your read some of Barbara Prashings books.

Countries are not reality?
Names of the countries are made up.
Boarders of the countries are just in peoples minds, they´re not real.
Flags of the countries are also made up by people.
We are all at the same one planet. Somehow we are just categorized and labeled in our minds. "I am an European" or "I am swedish or finnish". Other people judge you by your "label". "Ouh, he´s from Monaco, he must be rich" or "She´s from Africa and because of that she cannot read or whatever" etc. How stupid is that?
Open your eyes like a child and do not make any assumptions of anything. See everything and everyone as unike and individual and your life will become richer and more colorful.

My plans for retirement
I decided that I want to spend my retirement at the southern France or at the southern Italy. Especially at the countryside.
WHY?
1. I want to be self-supporting by growing my own, pure, organic food for my family and friends. Healthier option for chemically grown food.
2.The winters are more tolerable there than here in Finland. (Don´t get me wrong. I love the beauty of the finnish winter and of the nature, it´s just too cold)
3.I love the landscapes of southern Italy and France and being surrounded by the beautiful hills of southern Italy as we meet our friends.
4. I love the food culture of Italy and also spend time with the friends and with the big family there.
5. I can relax and just enjoy about life. Pleasure, not so much entertainment.

How to stay in your customers minds and to get them to use your services again?
I heard this story about two extraordinary men in Turku. I guess they are the owners of this small bike store. They not only sell the bikes but also fix them for the customers.
These both men are closer to their sixties, really overweight and they have no hair at all at the top of their head. They have hair though: the long, grey and messy "backwhip" straight out of their neck. They´re both dressed in too short, grey suit trousers, which are like from the time of their confirmation party. Their bellies are as round as big wooden barrell, so they have to use suspenders. Other of the guys has his eyes looking in different direction and other one has just glasses with the thickness of a bottom of the bottle.

Other of the guys has his eyes looking in different direction and other one has just glasses with the thickness of a bottom of the bottle.
The picture is not related to the story.
To cut long story short, my friend was picking up his repaired bike from their store and when he came in, he saw young teenaged girl talking with these two guys. These two funny men kept telling to her about the weather. What the weather was three, two and one year ago. They remembered the weather precisely what it was like the 22nd of December 2008. There´s nothing special about that, but it becomes something when they speak like 15 minutes about it with a very, very strong finnish language dialect from Turku city and you´re in a hurry. My friend looked at this girl and she looked back at him with the expression of the "is this really happening"?
When the girl was leaving, they opened door for her and wished a safe ride with her fixed bike, because it was pretty cold and slippery outside. Now it was my friends turn. My friend was shocked and tried to hold his laughter when they started to tell him the same story about the weather all over again. The guy with the eyes looking in different directions had fingers like sausages. How it is even possible he could work with the small screws? Anyway, they fixed bike perfectly and my friend can drive with it again.
I mean what a perfect consept. Very personal looking guys, with the personal style of telling some odd stories about the weather and really caring for their customers safety and wellbeing. Fixing bike was just something that stood beside of all that. Even though fixed bike wasn´t the main subject, they really fixed my friends bike well. My friend made me want to visit these guys in Turku and told me that he´s definitely using their services again when needed. These types of shops stay in your mind and make you spread the word about them.

Why people don`t get paid by donating their blood in Finland?
I had a coffee with my friends in a place called Varkauden portti just a while ago. They were friends that i had not seen for a while, so it was nice to chat and update the "info" about each others lifes.
Conversation leaded to the blood donation when i told them about my last autumn. At the Team Academy, where I´m studying, were a day organized by Finlands Red Cross. It was kind of contest about which team will get biggest total amount of donations from the other companies for the Red Cross. Prize was that the winner team could go to the some Red Cross place and donate their blood??! Not only they use us to collect money for them but also they collect our blood! haha! Nice competition.
Then conversation leaded to the fact that in the other countries they pay to you for donating your blood, but not in Finland. We assumed that if we got some money about our blood donations it wouldn´t feel as valuable as we would do it for free. The amount of donations would drop?

Don´t let anyone to tell you what to do or not to do.
I was reading today a book called Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau(1817 –1862). He was an American author and poet.
Thoreau made a two year experiment in simple living on July 4th, 1845, when he move to a small self-built house by the Walden pond. He wanted to find out, how to live simpler, more genuinely in alliance with the nature. In this book he weigh out his thought about freedom, spirituality, society, economy and loneliness.
Comprehension of the day is this:
"One farmer says to me, 'You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;' and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle."
-Henry David Thoreau

Welcome to my Comprehension of the day blog
An idea to start this kind of blog came to my head last night. I was too tired to start this at the night time so I took action right away when i woke up.
There´s multiple reasons I wanted to start this blog. Firstly I think writing is a good way to process my own thoughts. Secondly when I´ve wrote down the main comprehension of the each day I can easily go back in time and read them again. Thirdly I want to share my comprehensions with the others so they can possibly learn something too. So that´s about it.
I want to apologize in advance my english grammar. It´s not natural for me to write in english, so this is also a way to develope it better.
