If you have never wondered what this site is really about, then my compliments to you. I wonder that myself from time to time. That said, I’ll try to make it clearer in this post.
About the last 10 years, I’ve been lurking around the area of how to perform at your best as much as possible, and how to keep improving. While doing that I have been through university with less than great grades, and I’ve been working the regular programmer job for three years. Before that, I graduated high scool.
I’ve been a part of volunteer organizational life for about 6 years, taking on challenges all the time. Sometimes successful, at one point really not successful, and most of the time somewhere in between. First in an organization promoting entrepreneurship among Norwegian students, Start NTNU / Norge. Later on in Trondheim Red Cross Search and Rescue.
What has been the common denominator throughout has been an attitude of “what the hell, I’ll try it” for the most part. It has led to a ton, and I am serious about a ton, of great memories, good friends, friends have have lost touch with and a lot of worrying and running late on commitments and late-night working. I haven’t been bored, though.
Eventually, the fact that I am unable to do everything has started to come to me. At the same time, I have grown into the belief that if I do a better job with keeping focus, I will probably be better at not only the things that I do get to do, but also be able to do as many and varied things as before, if not more.
Starting in 2012, I have decided to explore this. Working my “game” to expand my reach and get to experience as much as possible. This blog is something I have created to reflect on the experiments, fails and of course successes of what I hope will be a year of building a foundation for a life of exploration and experiences.
Because, at the end, isn’t that what it is all about – experiencing life as rich as possible?
