This letter is for you...

Dear Brother, Dear Sister,

 This letter is for you...

Game lovers, drawers, procrastinors we are alike. like you, I fall easily in the proscratination trap, lazy lands and distractions. For my numerous pitfalls, I ask myself myriad of questions on why I did not do what I was supposed to. Guilt, self-critiscism haunted me as well as this question:

 Why are you?...Here?... Like that? 

 To forget my pain, I fed it with SIMS, video games, drawings, alcohol and television.

 Hopefully I found a solution and cannot wait to share it with you.

 First bring together two ideas which appear at first to be in opposition: 

 Life is, but a dream {12-D GAME} said Beyonce. 

 Like any hero in your favourite game, you need three tools:
- A mission pad
- An Appointment pad
- A thought pad

 A mission pad is nothing else than a TO-DO LIST. The tool is ultimately for incremental design ;), you write new task which you need to accomplish in order to get to the next level of your life plan. Small tips > use back and front of your pad to separate tasks related to your professional life from your personal life > Draw some tick boxes, cross them if you've started a task. Fill them up when you have completed it.

 An Appointment pad is nothing else than an AGENDA for better anticipating your position in space and time. Alike a video games, we move from place to place, the agenda just remind us where we have to be at different stage of our journey.

 Together, the mission and appointment pad remind us where we have to be, what we have to do, ask and accomplish.

 Finally the thought pad. It is better to separate thoughts, meeting notes from things to do and appointment. Use your thought pad to write your new ideas, questions, drawing brainstorming. If they are some tasks appearing in your thoughts, copy them back in your mission pad. Why? Because any thoughts are quickly forgetten in the midst of the thought pad.

 Here we go, I hope those little words inspired you and you will know how to apply it.
Good luck in your journey

 Your sister, mlg

Criticism of Utilitarianism - link

https://www.utilitarian.org/criticisms.html http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/jcanders/ethics/outline_of_some_classic_criticis.htm Problem : Consider the following two cases: 1. Elderly Aunt Molly is ill. Nephew Tom visits her and helps her because he loves her. Nephew Bob visits her and helps her because he hopes to be rewarded in her will. Nephew Dave visits her and helps her not because he desires to help but because he believes it is his duty. (Modified Version of case by Bowie and Beauchamp,  Ethical Theory in Business  (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1979) 16-17. 2. A two-year-old is drowning. Ruth flings caution aside because she desires to save the child and jumps in, but she cannot swim. Thus, she fails to save the child. Sue can swim, but is afraid that the child will pull her under. She does not save the child. The consequences were the same in each case, but the motives of the agents were different. According to utilitarianism, each person's action was of...

How my relationship with capitalism is impacting my carbon footprint?

Published on Footpaths Leicester Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. My carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of my activities. My activities serve capitalism. They serve private owners for profit at the expense of natural resources and human beings. I am trapped and enslaved by capitalism, this is my relationship with it and it impacts dearly on my carbon footprint but also on my wellbeing and sense of belonginess. I am striving to strip myself away from capitalism. I refused to work for large corporate organisations. I refuse to consume excessively. I shop in charity shops, buy in bulk from the Wholefood Coop in Leicester, cycle to work, do not travel by plane. I try to save for some solar panels and an electric car, I try to repair what I own and try to engage others in changing behaviour through campaigning...

Welcome to Social Activator

The purpose of this blog is to log thoughts on social activism, design, marketing and community building as well as to review of fantastic projects within the community which strive to create spaces for people to share knowledge, skills, abilities and fun. My vision is for everyone to come to the recognition that they are social activator. They are change agents. They can create opportunities for other to find their own space in this world to create a better present for themselves but also for others. We are all activators. I have plenty of ideas on how this blog will be run. I will probably start where I am now in the UK, Leicester before expanding my reach. I will write down all those ideas and then structure my thoughts before moving to my next action. I keep you posted!
