PCUKUT11 - An inspiring trip

I have returned with a will to fight for my future! :D

Just got home from my England trip (ProCivitas United Kingdom University Tour) and I'm very delighted. This was probably the most giving, inspiring and the most "broad" trip I have ever been on. I feel relieved that I now know my options and that I now more "easily" can plan my future. I'm up for a fight.


Turn anxiety and doubt into a driving force that makes you reach your goals.

Now and what to come

In just a few days I'm leaving for England where I will be deciding wether or not I want to spend my university-time there. I'm also thinking a lot about what I want to do with the time I have got left in "the gymnasium". One thing is for sure, I will do whatever it takes to implement my "GoPro Project". A project where I would be trying out extremesports and filming everything with a GoPro Camera, then at last putting together the footage in to a montage/clip/video. It would be so awesome... I'm thinking it all could turn out something like this -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUEZCxBcM78 -

Busy

Yup, busy is a perfect description for my current status. Sorry people.

Friday 2 September 2011

She.


Isn't she beautiful?
For me she is the whole world. 
For me she is the definition of beauty. 
For me she is all that you could ask for. 
For me she is the glimpse of sunshine in the cold dark emptiness.
For me, everything she is.

I don't want this moment to ever end,
where everything's nothing without you.
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile.
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you.
Through it all, I made my mistakes.
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words.

I want you to know...

TEDx Helsingborg!


Oh boy.

Just got home from a long day and very cool event called TEDx. Lots of inspiring "TEDTalks" and a chance to broad your network! Instead of writing a whole bible about what was great, inspiring, diffrent, outstanding, bad and worse etc, let the video below this post speak for it self. 

(Now, I can ensure you that not all of the presentations were performed this way, it's just that I found this presentation being one of the more special, outstanding and creative of the performances, Enjoy!)


Monday 22 August 2011

Welcome!

Welcome first graders, I'd like to wish you the best of luck on your journey through development here at ProCivitas Helsingborg!

Saturday 6 August 2011

Rewind, please.

So here I am, sitting at the Newark's SAS lounge waiting for my eight-hour flight trip to begin, not something I'm looking forward to. I've had an experience full, glorious, educational and a bit perilous week  in Manhattan, New York. I've had an internship at Childhood, I've paid a visit at the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, I've walked the 1,6km long High Line Park,  I've had bite at Hard Rock Cafe NY and walked down Park Avenue looking up at the huge skyscrapers. An interesting week that I would love to rewind and enjoy again.

iPhone is art.

Time for some spontaneous thoughts!
...For just a moment ago I started thinking for myself that I just bought a new BIG awesome lens for my Nikon D7000, a Sigma 150-500mm. With this lens combined with my semi-pro camera I can take some pretty "neat" pictures, great isn't it? But not everyone has this kind of equipment available in their hands, so out of the blue I looked down at my iPhone remembering that for not so long ago I found a really inspiring photographer/artist/painter who has his own webpage where he posts his iPhone art, he actually has a whole category on his site specifically made for his iPhone art. This is something new! And to be honest I really think that iPhone 4 has a really good camera for it's size and cost of money and is 100% capable of creating art. 
Also if you really think about it, this is an equipment, something lots and lots of people has their hands on can use to create art, and they do, without really thinking about it! We all know that the most beautiful sunset is as much art as a boring old chimney. 
So I unlocked my own iPhone went into Photos and started scrolling through my collection of photos, memories taken from all over the globe and yes, iPhone really is art.



 

 

NYC, my second day at Childhood!

Today when I arrived at Childhood I met the CEO of Childhood New York. We had an interesting chat and afterwards I interviewed her, asking some more basic questions such as "Do you enjoy working here in New York at Childhood?". It was surely a pleasant encounter.

So far I really like it here in New York! I'm starting to feel that I'm recieving what I came here for, experience. The enviroment is of course A LOT different from Sweden, it's stressful, hard and you always need to be "ON" if you want to survive. After all it's the city that never sleeps. But eventhough the cons there are pros, it's still enjoyable and personally I really like this kind of enviroment.

Here's a picture from today's encounter with the CEO!

NYC, my first day at Childhood!

Hey-o

Just gone through my first day at Childhood here in New York City! I've been working on various stuff such as my photo & picture committe, interviewquestions for tomorrow and also I've discussed the design for Childhoods new homepage with my colleagues! The office where I work at isn't that big but I think that's positive, it makes you feel more "welcomey" in a way and it's more private. Also with not so many working there you get to know them better.
The people I work with are very nice! Some Swedish, some German and some Americans, the main language is of course English cause I'm not that into German and not everyone understands Swedish, but  thanks to English we all get along and we can communicate without problems.
I think that's it for now, check back soon for more updates regarding my time here in New York as an intern!

NYC, the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce!

Hello y'all!

Today I made a visit at the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce (SACC) in New York City! I met some very fine people who has given me some really REALLY useful experience when it comes to both life choices and business. Now I'm not going to be prolix cause that would be against my own rules I've set up here at my blogg (haha), but INSTEAD I'll contribute with some pictures taken from my visit at SACC NY!

Challenge accepted

So finally my SAT-book arrived, next step: Read it.


New possibilities

So today my plan was to interview Øystein Løseth, CEO at Vattenfall, but it didn't happen, he said that the inviroment was to stressful for him and he was about to prepare his speech. I did get a picture with him though and he did suggest a meeting with me in Stockholm at the end of this month. New possibilities indeed.

Speech

I was searching around for new Apple releases such as iCloud and found this video where Steve Jobs talks to graduates at the Stanford university and tells three very inspiring stories of his.

Website problems!

Ah, god dammit!

I'm trying to build a website but it keeps messing up all the time. Good thing I have Matt the prohacker.

California asks: "What is Spotify?"

So I was surfing a bit on the internet and stumbled upon an article on the New York Times regarding Spotify in the USA. I remembered talking to a friend in California for not so long ago about different kinds of music services. I mentioned Spotify and all it's positive proporties but it turned out that my friend never even had heard of Spotify. I of course was really surprised but realized short after that Spotify is only available in Scandinavia and in some few European countries, so after all it wasn't that big of a surprise.
But lets back up to the article about Spotify. After two years of negotiations with the major record companies and many promises that its debut was right around the corner Spotify is finally today one step closer to being available in the USA. So no worries anymore, soon my friend you will also be able to enjoy the epicness of the music service Spotify.

...And the USA lived happily ever after...

Future

Today I met the famous Peter Connée, the president of ProCivitas, a man who has the ability to inspire people and give them exactly the kind of "fuel" they need to get boosted. 
Peter really made me think so at the moment my thoughts are kind of "spread out" and I'm trying to focus on only one thing, the future, but I find this quite hard to do so for only a moment ago I decided to post my thoughts here, at my very own blog. Now I know that I promised you shorter posts from now on but as I've just told you my head is invaded by thoughts so I cannot help to bomb my blog!

So, the future, it's something we both are afraid of but also very curious about. Today I learned (or atleast gained more experience of) that the future isn't made yet and the future becomes what we want it to become, it's you and me who creates it. We're all tailors in a way, we have the power to sew and create whatever we want to create (ops, one of my silly metaphors appears again), so always make sure you're sewing the finest piece of cloth! 
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you and me we are both living in present time (duh) and the future is only a creation of our acts in present time and if you want to create the ideal future you always need to make sure that you produce the finest cloth (your performance needs to be at the peak) that makes you more visible amongst other tailors. My advice is that you let your imagination work as fuel and that you let your creativity be your tool when you're sewing your ideal future.

Look at me! I CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE!

If I could sing

...If I could sing I'd write you a song, a song about you, about us and about our memories...
...The song would describe your beauty with tones so fair and its purpose would be to make you smile, to think and to see... 
The song could be named after you and the lyrics combined with the tones would beat you breathless...
...The song could make you feel special in every way and it could speak about you being my girl, in all eternity. 
If I only could sing, then I'd write you a song...

Metaltown 2011

Hello! Anyone there...? Heeello? Oh right! I haven't written anything here in centuries. Sorry 4 dat.

Well I just came home from Metaltown! A swedish metal concert located in Gothenburg and there's pretty much only one word that can describe the whole trip, REALLYMEGASUPERAWESOME :) And now after such an awesome trip I'm home again as I just said, chillin' and enjoying the summer and soon I will be leaving for Båstad where I will spend the most part of my summer relaxing.
But one step at a time, so now it's off to bed, I hope you all are having a great summer. Oh, almost forgot, I'll leave you with some photos from the concert, some of them are taken by the awesome photographer (he's not a photographer, really, he's just awesome) Matt Turner!
G-NIGHT!

Summaaah

It has been the cold weather and the grey skies who's been behind the cruel act of lowering my eager to write. But now when summer is here I thought why not make a post, besides it has been a long time since I wrote anything here... so let's go!

First of all I would like to thank a very special teacher (Jacob Pettersson), my spanish teacher at my school, for linking my blog at the school's so called "intranät", a webbpage where all the events/grades/homeworks are posted regarding school, of course. I would also like to thank summer for arriving so soon!

Well, the Easter Holiday took a fast visit and is already gone, I did have loads of fun while it was here though, visiting amusements parks, local area networking (LAN), being with friends and the best part of if being homework-free! (I did have homework that needed to be finished but I didn't feel like doing them) I think it is as important to have holiday's as it is to work hard.

Now I also found a solution for my "no time" problem. You see... I'm a boy, 17 years old, I'm in the middle of studies and I don't have that much time to blog, unfortunately.. So I'm actually going to start writing shorter posts, now this isn't because of laziness I insure you! Haha. It just seems easier and I don't have to write a bible each time posting. So from now on, short and small posts.

I'm going to leave you with a picture from an epic lan. Cya next time, short and small-style.

A break from the "ON HOLD"

Hello there folks! I know that I'm on an "ON HOLD" thingy here at my blog but I have something that I really want to share with you! It's my very first English Task/Test we had to write in the beginning of the first grade! I wrote about me and my girlfriend, in a so called "Musical Memory".

It was a warm summer night in late June. Me and my girlfriend were out for a walk in the quiet sleeping village. We were having a great time together and I never wanted it to end, we decided to go somewhere where we could sit down and just chill. As we were holding hands walking down the street laughing together we suddenly spotted a kindergarten just up ahead. The sunlight came up over the top of the building, almost like it conquered the building with its strong yellow shiny light. 
Me and Cindy, my girlfriend, decided to go in and have a look for some place where we could sit. We entered the kindergarten and the first thing that met us was this enormous swing that was made for kids to play in. Both me and her started running towards it and we reached the swing with our hands exactly at the same time. Cindy started climbing up and when she'd got herself into place she called for me to climb up after her.

Now we both sat there, looking at the sunset and watching how the stars started to reveal themselves, a cool wind blew past. I looked at her, she looked at me. I couldn't stand her beauty, her long blonde hair was moving in the same rythm as the winds waves. Suddenly the silence broke, Cindy had picked up her cellphone and she started to play a song familiar to me, it was the song "Best of me" made famous by Sum 41. She suggested that we should make the song our song, I couldn't agree more. I said "Of course" with a smile on my lips.
Now we sat there looking up at the stars, with the music playing in the background and at the same time watching the sun go to sleep beyond the spectacular horizon. In the background I heard the leadsingers voice singing: "As you will get the best of me". I saw Cindy's smile and by that point I knew I was in love.

ON HOLD

Here's the news:
Lately I've tried to come up with things to write about but I can't really figure anything out and I feel super-lazy because of that. I could write about what I ate for breakfast earlier today and what clothes I wear at the moment but that isn't my blog's purpose and there's already 99999 blogs out there that currently are writing about that.
Soooo here's the thing: I've decided to put my blog "on hold" for awhile until I come up with better things to write about! Also I'm waiting for summer! When summer comes a lot more things will happen, I won't be that busy and there'll be a lot more to write about! I've also told myself to put some more effort into blogging when the right time comes, so just hang in there!

See ya in June.

SP Week!

Hejsanhoppsan!

Yeah, you heard me. Well this week is dedicated to us! We who are at the so called samhällesprogrammet in our school. The teachers surprised us at Monday morning with a so called mission that needed to be accomplished within 2 hours. The mission was to go outside and complete tasks all over the city! Such tasks as "What's the streetnumber of that particular building?" or "What kind of letter does the stones on the ground at the Kunskapsskolan form?" and so on. It was pretty fun but also a bit of pain in the ass running around all over.
Currently we've got a new mission to complete, we're supposed to almost advertise another company orally infront of our class, really good training for the "grown-up life" later though. Well weell I'm actually going to keep todays post short cause today I were at a, hmm what's it called? An exhibition? Oh well, a "mässa" at Malmö, so I'm a bit tired after running around in Malmö.

Sooo.. Goodnight n' sleep tight!

Stones and wheelbarrows

Hellooo everyone!

So I was talking to myself for just some minutes ago (like I usally do) about my own future and I started coming up with metaphors regarding ideas.

So, let's say that you're 100% sure that you've got an idea that one day will become really successful, now Im going to let a stone represent that specific idea. But to make that idea successful you might also need something called knowledge, it'll work as the perfect helping hand in all situations. Let me introduce you to the wheelbarrow aka the knowledge.

So, you can pick up that awesome stone of yours and start carrying it towards success and fame, but it'll be really hard to move the rock all by yourself and maybe you won't even be able to pick it up. So you need to get yourself a wheelbarrow! You decide to go and get yourself a wheelbarrow and let's say that it takes you three years to find one. You jump back to the idea, oh sorry I mean the stone, but this time you've got your wheelbarrow with you (if you've already forgotten, the wheelbarrow represents the knowledge). This time you pick up the rock but instead of trying to move it forward all by yourself you throw the rock into the wheelbarrow. Now it's so much easier to roll the rock towards success!

I guess what I'm trying to say with this stupid little metaphor I made up in about five minutes is that without the knowledge your idea might be to hard to move and without an idea the knowledge may be useless. You need that wheelbarrow to move big awesome rocks! Also if you'd like to, use that will of yours as "extra strength" to move the wheelbarrow.
So, to sum it all up I would say that combining will, the stone and the wheelbarrow is the best way to reach success and make your idea the most ultimate one.

Now if you excuse me I've got some more subjects that I need to talk to myself about. He,he,he.

Boooost presentation coming up!

Howdy! - Sorry for any spelling errors that the following content may include, I'm tierd jo see :)

As the title is saying, tomorrow is the day we're going to present our boost company infront of our class, both the teacher and my classmates will be grading us while we're presenting our company! A bit scary yes but I'm actually really excited and thrilled about the whole thing, we even rehearsed for about three hours today at school and it went really well,  I actually kept rehearsing when I got home for a while. So it's a lot of work but I know that it's useful and worth it in the end. Also, this is the only time during your life you get to do all this, so why not put the right effort into it, be creative and do your best at all times?
Well I'm going to keep today's post short cause I need to get a good night sleep (after some Big Bang Theory) so I don't mess things up tomorrow. For just about ten minutes ago I was reading one of my small "remembering patches" to check that they were right (I was reading them loud) and out of nowhere the word f*ck sneaks in and I'm like "What the hell?", did I just read "Go f*cking wireless" instead of "Go wireless"? We don't want that to happen in front of the teacher tomorrow, but I guess people never would forget about our company if an accident like that should take place. There you go, something positive about f*cking up.

Weeell, G'night every-1, guess I failed the short post promise.

Boosting on

Hello y'all, didn't see ya there!

So, tomorrow's a big day, our boost projects are supposed to be submitted! At the moment it's looking smooth, everything is pretty cool and it feels like we have everything under control. We do have one small issue though, the marketing part has gone missing! We're all a bit confused about that cause not until now we realized that nobody has it. Usually when those things happends it almost always gets solved in one way or another so I'm actually not that worried, but I can't help keep thinking "What if's"-thoughts. You know "What if's"-thoughts, like: "What if we don't finish in time?" , "What if everything should get deleted at the last second?" , "What if godzilla should come and ruin the day?". No but you get the point.
It's not that I'm doubting my group, no not at all, we're an excellent group and even though we've faced some hard times, had some quarrel, it has always ended well and we've always regained our friendship! Speaking of friendship, I actually think one of the most important factors to create a healthy business is friendship and right after friendship comes will and cooperation. 
I think there are three steps to create a good business, lets start from the beginning. So, friendship, the first step. You see, without friendship will and cooperation can't happend, sure will can happend individually, but you want the will in "group-form"! Cause if I'm the only one that has got will in my group I won't be getting that far, but if we were lets say four in our group we could multiply will by four! And finally when we've achieved will cooperation can enter the stage. So to sum it all up, Friendship might create Will and Will might lead to Cooperation. Just sayin.
Now is that someone calling? It sounds a bit familiar to me..hmm.. oh! It's the bed, night!

Out of friends? Play some Halo with yourself for a change.
