Stop Binge Watching, Escape for real

A decision has been made to deal with few addictions.

One is netflix.

I decided to transform my addiction to binge watch TV as an opportunity for growth.

I'll reward myself with watching my favourite series after completing a number of hours of chores or more specifically necessary work.

I am aware that Netflix and any other form of addiction is an opportunity to escape from the harsh boring reality of being bound to a box somewhere in a building behind another box when I would like to be outside to feel the sunshine on my skin. I am aware that Netflix and any other form of addiction is an opportunity to escape from the harsh boring reality that I live in the United Kingdom and that there is no sunshine everyday.

Yet, if I want to go somewhere with the sunshine and work in a place where I can be a bit more outside, I need to finish my thesis. there is no other way around it. So I am rewarding myself to face my reality for a number of hours in order to escape in a dream world for a couple of hours at times until I can finally escape....

Poverty and Sustainable development - a quote

Quote  ''the experience of the last decades shows that the current neo-liberal policies lead to income polarisation, an increasing number of poor plus a growing number of very rich individuals, at the detriment of the middle class (OECD, 2011c). Whereas there is no correlation between economic growth and poverty reduction, there is a strong one between reducing poverty and the existence of a welfare state (Alber, 2002). Thus redistribution of wealth and income can be understood as an immediate necessity for sustainable development. However, such considerations play no role in the OECD green growth concept'' (Lorek & Spangenberg, 2014) References Alber, J. (2002). Besser als sein Ruf - Der Sozialstaat als erfolgreiches Modell.

What I said is...

It is a series of spells and charms that can transform people's lives For the person to be completely taken by the words spoken The presentation, ritual, dance with the spirit has to be magic Dress in your best attire Arrange the place so that is vibrant and clean Ensure that your manuscript is tidy, and even better type it up and have a few copies so that your audience impressed by your words would try at home to be you You once again and sing your name
