Online reflection 2 - Fighter or half a warrior?

For this final online reflection I want to write about my big passion in life, football. When I was little I played football on a daily basis, every single day I was on the schoolyard with my childhood friends kicking the ball around the court. This was my big passion in life and I played in KBK, Karlstad Ball Club for 7 years. We didn’t have a great team, but we liked to play. Some of us were better than the others, I was one of the better players and didn’t get substitute a single time when I was playing. I played as a right wing because of my great left foot. I was in charge of all the corner kicks and free kicks that were given to our team. One season I scored 6 goals only from corner kicks and my left foot was feared by all the rivalry teams. When I Was 14 years old I hurt my knee and didn’t recover for a long time, and the passion for playing football began to erase itself so I quit playing half a year after this occasion. This might be the biggest mistake I’ve taken in my life so far and I often think of what could have been. People who read this might think that I’m full of it and that I praise myself to much but I was elected to the district championship to defend the colors of Värmland and to a training camp in Stockholm for perspective players born in 1990 before I got injured. The lack of passion grew bigger because I couldn’t really run for a long time and as fast as I wanted before I felt the pain in my knee, and this made me feel unable to achieve what I wanted to achieve. If I just could fought a little more for it, who knows, maybe I wouldn’t need to write this online reflection at all. Maybe I would sit in my mansion down in Madrid, Barcelona or Paris, enjoying the great weather with a corona after  a trainingsession with one of the biggest teams in the world.

I often think of it, that I’m a little bit of a person who don’t fight for things as much as I want to, in that perspective I’m maybe a little lazy, a little too comfortable with myself and my achievements when I maybe could have done so much more. I don’t know, maybe I couldn’t be a great football player, or an excellent student, but I think I could have fought more and this is a story about this specific cliché. Everybody can do whatever they want, just get your mind into it and fight for it. So are you a fighter, or half a warrior as myself?

Future

1-5 years from now on.

In the near future I don’t think that so much will change, at least we will not notice it in that way that you can notice stuff at a longer period of time. I think that new ideas will emerge but not in that way that it will be extra revolutionary. Some small things that we do manually right now maybe will be changed so we can do it automatically from our computers or our smartphones. I don’t have any good examples of what at this point but it won’t be any larger innovations because I don’t think that we will be noticing it as much as we notice things from when we were children until now. Maybe some new medicine will be coming out into view that prohibits the cancer cells to evolve in your body? This will probably be made out of stem cells researches but you never know.

6-50 years from now on.

I think that a lot of stuff will change in 50 years, for example fossil fuels. I don’t think we will be using gasoline in 50 years from now on, or at least I hope so because people are going to think more about our planet. That maybe is a crazy thought because we haven’t done that much at this point when we have been seeing changes on our planet for a long time. Companies are trying to build automobiles on batteries but not that many people are interesting in buying them because the batteries isn’t’ that good. I think that the future will bring us new ways of travelling, or at least new fuels for travelling by car and so on. Maybe the fuel in the future will be water? I’ve read somewhere that the first automobile had water as fuel but that maybe is a conspiracy theory? I think that we will come up with medicines that will kill of cancer, maybe not all types but very few will be left. Many good things will evolve to our favor but I think that some stuff we won’t approve that much. Like the surveillance mess that’s been going around with Edward Snowden and the U.S government. I think that in the future, every move that we make will be monitored. Maybe that’s good for some purpose but I don’t think that we can do so much about it.

This is a very interesting topic to think and write about because no one can get it wrong or right, the time will tell what’s coming.
