Teaching children thinking skills, and about me and my texts

I have wondered how political leaders and bosses manage to keep their position when there are different groups with the wish to mess with things and conflicting interests. But maybe it is so that a country is a place where different groups tend to fight and foreign nations want to interfere with the affairs, but the leader is somehow very neutral and just wished for type for many and so he/she manages to cool down things to normal life and so life in the socviety runs smoothly when he/she is in power. I am not such. I am a thinker and a writer. I have quite strong opinions when I happen to have opinions at all. A learder ought to have more average course and lots of wisdom of life about how to make lives better and handle social messes etc. I do not have such skills. My thoughts fit mostly as texts teaching the subject tp the readers and with a header that reflects the content in a suitable way. Like nice free time hobby skills and something useful for work too. I think that the cont...

I have written very many, thousands of texts about important subjects, and I am not so good at knowing where to inform about them and how. So it sometimes happens that I do not inform about some text of mine that would interest others, but if you take a look at my blogs in that subject, you are likely to find it as a blog post or as a later addition to a blog post. I have no way of knowing afterwards which things I forgot to inform about, since I do inform somewhat about many of them.

Typically when people fail in something because of having made an error, that is an error compared to their ordinary level of skills, and so correcting it away demands a more basic way of thinking and often a more cyniucal view than what they ordinarily use in their understanding. And so my texts mentiuon basuc things and go through value-free objective grounds for things just in case someone lacks thiose grounds or the skill of makin them. I do not intent my texts to readers with ordinarily so cynical views, since suych is typically a social feature and not good for thinking at all. Observing structures and describing tem in one's thinking is good for thinking and is the way of thinking I intend my texts to.

I have written thousands of pieces of text to the internet, to my tens of blogs and my old video channel. If you would recommend reading my texts by what one happens to find by my name, it could be very different kinds of texts and of different quality, and not-at-all-helpful to some specific purpose. Besides, I am not an expert specializing to all these single subjects but instead like a wider variety of things. So please recommend my texts by their subject, so that they can find also texts of others in the same subject, and maybe my text too.

I guess that my texts mostly do not fit at all as audiobooks. I write about new thoughts that require following my chain of thoughts instead of the familiar ones or familiar guesses of many. I think it important that one can read again the grounds in the beginning of the text, if one loses the chain of thought. I write a lot about subjects connected with teh rationality of feelings and that is an area that many have traditionally lacked skills in, and so one cannot listen to their voice and guess based on that what the thought might be and in which way it is natural. Also, if one presses the repeat button, it often is annoying to other listeners. Kind of softer subjects also may sound unconvincing if one does not pay attention to the thoughts, and so the feedback might be much worse than from the written texts.

During the last year I have composed short melodies to my long text about living wisely the seasons http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html . I have composed also some other mainly short melodies, mostly to my other blogs. I have collected the melodies to my blog about composing https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/ . Those are just notes. Since the last December I have noticed that I some somewhat classified also as a some kind of composer, and my life has tended to turn mre toward composing. There has been room for it and writing has been on a smaller emphazis, without so much peace. I would like to learn to compose real songs but I do not know what to think of the change. I was in a higher position as a writer, since I have written about some very important subjects and in addition something nice about hobby kind of things. As a composer I am just a beginner and not so specially skilled. I have some good subjects but maybe not enough things of value t...

I know what subjects I know about and what kinds of things. So if some interesting question arises and I know how to solve it, I often write about it. I do it with a detailed way of looking at the subjects in my picture of the world, so that as I proceed it becomes an advice on how to learn such skill. Sometimes I need to start with an explanation of how the subject came to my mind and what the approach is, and so it kind of softens the text's beginning to story like.

You can make free blogs of your own at http://www.blogger.com . It is a site by Google, and available in most countries. The blogs are quite good to use. If you like some blog or text of mine, and would like to say something about the subject yourself, a blog is good for that. You can add search key words to your blog and you can advertice it's address to aquiantages who are interested in the same subject. If you have a Blogger blog, you can also comment on other Blogger blogs. 5th of February 2023   If you are some group wanting publicity, for example women's movement, the biggest publicity is in the media, especially tv and radio but also newspapers and magazines. You could wish for certain kinds of programs or music. But if something in the media disturbs the lives of it's audience, people complain about it and maybe such gets banned.   My blogs are just ordinary blogger.com blogs. I do not know why you came to them. The blog statistics typically show 2 or 10 b...

My texts do not have sources. I did not learn these thingsa from my parents either. Instead I was brought up in Helsinki in a academically oriented family, and these are my own thoughts and skills, on top of that, not a repetition of what others said, even though the subjects are typically answers to common views or common situations. 14th of June 2021   Byt mostly when I have quoted some text of mine, there is a link next to it to the blog in question. And often when I write about some subject  I ibclude a link or links to the blogs whicj handle the subject, my own blogs I mean.

I have tried to write my texts so that they would give practical possibilities in readers'lives to the areas of life I write about. Sometimes when I read the texts of others or listen to some song or look at a painting, it quite often happens that the text or piece of art just mentions nice things inlife but if one tries to follow it as an advice, it lacks some wisdom of life or skills of living in the society, so that it does not build a real alternative if one follows it diligently. A typical example of such is stories made by imagination only. Or something that someone has as a hobby but does not get the enjoyment from it that a beginner often gets. My texts teach skills and talents. They seek to teach them to an as wide group as possible but inside the ordinary civiliced ways. So they refer to basic things in life, likelooking and moving, and to things familiar from the veryday life of almost all, and build the skills and talents from them. So there is a well working road for ...

My texts are mostly additional remarks, additional skills and not the education itself. My texts teacj skills but demand some basic starting level of skill and of civilized wisdom, which is at least school quality but widened by one's experience of life to new subjects too. Since my texts are of many subjects, I think that inmany cases it would be clearer to refer to them by the subject and not by my name, since after all different subjects are handled somewhat differently and they are not all of the same quality and it is no use to read texts in some other subject ofmine if that does not support the subject in question.

The reason I write about Finnish culture http://Finnishskills.blogspot.com is that I had the thinking course which made it possible to teach the Finnish strenght of common sense like objective thinking with a picture of the whole, to also foreigners and much quicker than earlier. So I wrote something else about Finnish culture too, things that as far as I know people usually would like to teach to foreigners too. But what comes to for example climate skills, I am as far as I know just an ordinary Finnish dog owner with experience of walking the dog in any weather, or something like that, who likes also sports and is interested in teaching talents and skills. (10.2.2022   Tänään oli oenkkaripöivä taas monelle koulunsa päättäneelle. Itse kurjoitin kyllä aikanaan viiden ällän ylioppilaaksi 9.5:n keskiarvolla, mutten olisi osannut suojella kasvojani viimalta penkkarikuorma-auton lavalla, ja niin jätin kuorma-autoajelun väliin. Luokkatoverit saivat siitä kuulemma kamalan flunssan,...

Finn writer like a journalist, even though I write to the internet teaching skills and talents dog owner sports hobby (that is my identity, even though I haven't practised sports lately, just somethimes run a little) nature arts as a serious hobby like music women's virtues caring the world to a good future healthy ways of living as a high value lately: lives in Savonlinna interested in religions philosophical objective thinking wisdom of life Finnish weathers I am interested in many things. These just ca,e to my mind now. I do not copy from others, at least not intentionally, but often like to take part in groups.

If someone said you should read Kaisa Hannele Tervola's text(s), that means propably the thinking course which you can find at http://quickerlearning.blogspot.com . If you have read that, it propably means the text about the future of computers, which text you can find at https://feelingcomputers.blogspot.com/2011/08/far-future-with-computers-what-will.html . If that is not the text they mean, they mean Kaisa Hannele Tervola's main texts in the same subject you were talking about, which you can find in blogs about that subject, which you can propably find from the blog list choosing by the name of the blog https://www.blogger.com/profile/11619291894046036529 but many of the blogs are in Finnish.

I guess that I would classify as a writer who has some own insight into things. I write advices in learning skills and talents. I try to write so that my texts would as a side effect also solve social and society level tangles, so that my texts could be a positive influence to the readers' lives but that is via taught skills and maybe via the approach, and not influence from my own life which at least nowadays is writing oriented life in a dangerous district and with some enemies too. 26th of March 2020   I am not an influential writer, since I feel that these subjects often cause opposition or neglecting them. Neither am I socially influential. But I am a good thinker. My input is that of a thinker and a writer of teaching material, largely around the subject of rationality of feelings, always objectively. I do not write about my own life, at least mostly not at all, but I write about learning talents in daily life and that often has some taste of free time life. I have ...

Today is my 48th birthday. During the last years I have noticed that it is not a good day, but that it is a good time to think about how things change when one ages or years pass in the society and in the world. When I was younger, I had dreams and likings, interests and personal values and some fine glimpses from adventure books, music and the like. And so I learned something of the spirit of things, and that is a good guide to learning talents in them. And what I was interested in, I tried to cultivate things that supports skills and especially talents in such and wisdom about their place in the world and in a well running society. And so I learned skills to suport them, and across the years this and that about them and achieved goals that I had dreamed about like a singing experience of life, which though was often based on other things, like a singing experience of life in liking sports hobbies and admiring the nature and valuing wishing well for the world at large, learning how s...

" White colour in the meaning "moral", advices I had a white spitz type of companion and guard dog,a Japanese spitz boy that died at the age of 11 and half years. The white colour went quite nicely for us, so I write here some advices about how we lived on connection with the white colour. The dog was on older years a skilled healerbut somehow on the mental or spiritual side (see my view on curing at http://curingguesses.blogspot.com/2018/12/index-with-cure-suggestions-after-word.html , in Finnish at http://parantamisesta.blogspot.com ), but said at the age of ten, almost eleven, that he had helped as many so as he had white hairs in his coat, which was a huge number. I trandslate from my Finniosh text http://lukevatkoirat.blogspot.com/ : "White is just a colour, like other colours. It fits for example a landscape that has different colours. The white colour goes lightly with joyful light colours like with a little bit of red, which lightens the...

My parents forced me to study theoretical physics and mathematics in the University of Helsinki. I would have liked some practucal work or arts or if need to be academical, then solving ecological problems of the globals cale. But anyway, I learned later how to take more distance to engineering influence, which is dearly needed now that there is influence from the 50 years anniversary of first man on the moon. "See http://mythoughtsaboutnews.blogspot.com/2019/07/too-much-influence-from-engineering.html I copy it here: " Too much influence from engineering around the world Last Sunday 21th of July 2019 it was 50 years since man first set foot on the Moon. It seems that just about all around the world watched the video from that. And so all got lots of influence from engineering, also from others, since the day was the same for all. 50 years ago that was a big change in pictures of the world, I guess, but now it is just a piece of news. Yet surprisingly many are...

My Japanese spitz died yesterday. He was very fond of nursing kind of curing hobby and was good at it as far as I know. I always wondered his work endurancy. But it may be that each person has one'sown likings about what kind of life to live on the average in one's daily life, and so maybe his was around helping the ill animals and somewhat humans too. I am more inclined toward things often recommended to all like music and healthy ways of living. I like to hear points which bring to my attention things that are that way valuable in life. So maybe it is no wonder that something of the kind I write and have written a lot. Now I have only my poodle left.

I have akways been interested in doing things with good quality, common sense with a picture of the whole, responsibly, with wisdom of life and healthy ways of living and doing, with freedom and happiness as values too. I have also been always interested in wild animals, practical chores, nature, arts, religions, how the society works well together and the level of the whole world, also in wisdom of life and sports and deep wisdom. I have also always been interested in good ways of doing and using effort, and óf following feelings and moral. So I tend to produce at least part of the time good quality work that is above the level of quality of what otherwise is availeble, in the works of others I mean. So my reading texts etc may leave readers for a short whiule with a feeling that some ordinarily interesting text, song or the like is not somehow good enough quality to interest as much as usually - but such is my level of quality, that is why I am writing.

Olen kirjoitellut nyt parikymmentä vuotta päivittäin, yleensä uusista aiheista. Jos heti kirjoitettuani tai jo kirjoittaessani tiedän, minne ko tekstiäni pitäisi suositella, mutta myöhemmin harvoin jaksan niitä lävitse kahlata ja minnekään lähetellä, kun niitä on niin paljon, jo tuhansia. Jos siis tuumit, että jotkin lukemaasi tekstiäni tarvittaisiin jonnekin, niin ole ystävällinen ja lähetä teksti tai linkki heille. Nämä ovat asiatekstiä mutta vaihtelevista aiheista ja saattavat olla eri ajattelutyyppien heiniä, mutta objektiivisia siis, jos arkijärki ja ajattelukyky ovat lukijalla vahvat. 9th of July 2019   I have written most of or almost all of my texts because I feel that there isa big need for such material, for such skills, and not out of personal interest in the subjects, even though I have later on tried to specialize to things I am interested in. But anyway, if you too feel that some text or tune of mine fixes some problem or fills some need, it may be that there isn't ...

My mom sometimes paid attention to the word associations of words, which I mostly considered just nonsense and her way to figure out new ideas. But the Finnish word for human "ihminen" brings the association "ihmeellinen", like a miracle, which my mom termed more like the characteristic of wild animals but that it would be good if humans too would learn to be somnewhat like miracles in their lives, it would be a strenght in life. I guess that I like pets and wild animals that way: so naturally skilled and beautiful they appear, with a joy of life. But I guess my mom admired life with kids somewhat the same way: how they grow and learn and each of their own kind, somehow fun and refreshing, with so wide and varied possibilities in life in the future and already now as beginnings, sprouts.

I have now lived in the countryside town Savonlinna in Savo in Eastern Finland for almost ten years. Savonlinna is famous for it's opera festival each year around July inthe summer. So nowadays my approach to writing has been much influenced by Savonlinna and is somewhat like that of arts: handicrafts (of the elderly and of handicraft lovers), religion, summer cottage life, opera (all try to learn something in that direction) and painting (many people at old age) are typical factors here. I noticed this just now after having been composing pieces of melodies to the spring part of my long text about the seasons http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html .

I have now lived for nine and a half years in Savonlinna which is a countryside town in southern Savo in eastern Finland. Savonlinna is famous for it's medieval castle Olavinlinna, and for Savonlinna Opera Festival kept in it every summer around July. See http://visitsavonlinna.fi/en/ and http://operafestival.fi/en

I slept long in the beginning of this year 2019 and have been more stupid and stuck than usual, especially to begin with. At first I could not write more than e-mails, then I blogged something with my old memorized understanding, quite theory like, then I have slowly regained my understanding but social eye is still lacking and the end result is just unwise, more like a bomb attentat than some nice hobby like blogging suited for many to read: either nice additiob to some skill of their or uninteresting if they are not interested in the subject. Formerly I thoughts of the society and even the wider world via different ways of thinking and how would they learn from my text and how would they communicate and would it cause communication errors or conflicts of values, but now I still haven't been able to do so. I think that journalists much have extremely much such and more skills in what comes to the social eye and workings of the society when they write just ordinary texts for public...

I have learned a lot about learning skills and talents, also about changing profession quite many things, but it seems that each person has a personal inclination, some jobs that she/he is inclined toward and some that she/he is not suited to by one's endurancy, likings, motivation, goals in life, values, ways etc, and some things that she/he needs a lot as stimuli and some that she/he cannot use at least not much. It seems to me that one cannot affect the personal inclination by learning, even though one can learn things that are suited to most, to just about all and bring enjoyment & other benefits. Formerly I have not been able to explain why someone is inclined the way she/he is, but just a moment ago this though came to my mind. Usually people avoid routes that they cannot use or find hard to bear and such may be ones that are foprced upon them too detailedly and too rigidly so that they cannot find their own way to be with such things and skills. And so they use routes th...

When I at the age of 7, August 1978, entered school, I felt that the ways of thinking of school were much more stupid and stuck than my own objective thinking, my own level of wisdom at that age. And I felt that even though all did not think of it that way, there was to some extend the same effect to other kids, since learning to read is a completely new thing that requires recognizing shapes which often means recognizing styles which gets support from kind of philosophical and arts' view on the world and some kind of understanding of structures, their strenght and the value of feelings. Likewise learning the basics of all basic school subjects, for example history's main lines and geagraphy, is a new thing on the first class, much more demanding task than school later on. So I felt that school did not use the potential of kids fully, even though the kid's background in having sung, drawn, played outdoors, done practical tasks, sports, being social, discussing etc was neede...

I sometimes ponder about old Finnish art and books: such great fracturelessness and wisdom, why does it not carry in the modern world? Did the same happen in other countries to their traditional wisdom? I think that what the old times' art and books do not carry are cultural differencies in the modern world: the audience is just bigger than the works of art etc were planned for, culturally much too different and varied. In the modern world such pieces of art and books are read, watched and listened by many who are interested in that culture, so they should bring a very good result if applied abroad by people who like that culture's approach, want to try it out. They are likely to be the foreigners who largely handle that country's affairs in such things that demand knowing the culture and it's art and books at least somewhat. So if they cannot use something, they are likely to bypass it and change to othert subjects and so such wisdom does not carry, since it's audi...

I have now written some20 years, without pay, i just have felt that such texts are needed, and so I have written them to the internet and lived with small money. My texts are useful in the society and for the world, so it is kind of agreed about work for me, even though without pay. I write to www.blogger.com (internet addresses ending .blogspot.fi or .com) which is a free blog site by Google that is as far as I know available in many countries, and is a quite nice way to make blogs with text, some pictures and maybe videos, and has several different looks for the blogs to choose from. (A piece of advice about writing fact text http://musicalfactlanguage.blogspot.com/2018/11/another-subject-succeeding-in-writing.html ). I live in an apartment house in town and have two middle-sized or quite small dogs. http://picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.com I have written about subjects that interest many. Yet when I have sent a blog link to a discussion group on largely the same subject, so that ...

Usually one cannot learn new skills from persons that one has not oneself by one's own observation skills noticed to be skilled in the things that ne wants to learn. So not for example of persons who have the reputation of being the most skilled, if you do not see it yourself, since they do things in so complex or well thought of ways that there are too many things to learn at the same time, too vaguely in sight with too mcuh variation and too mcuh complaxity, too finely tuned observational skills needed and too much information of the subject needed. But sometimes people with high skills have written teaching material, so if that is of the right skill level for you, you can study that even if you cannoit learn by copying from them personally. But often also such material demands a too high starting level. Then you must find teachers & courtses in those basic skills. Luckily those things are usually better taught and have professional teachers with good teaching skills.

All of my texts and videos presuppose a starting level roughly given by having learned my thinking course http://quickerlearning.blogspot.fi . The thinking course presupposes a good eyesight, a good ability to understand what one sees and observe landscapes with an understanding of the structures in them. As far as I know most human races have these basic skills of looking but those from black Africa do not have them but look with social eye like one observes the shapes of trees and bushes in darkness, thinking if they are maybe like monsters. Also heavy food on a hot day is not good for understanding what one sees, neither are air conditioned (cooled) indoors as an environment where one uses one's eyes most.

I just rememebered a game of sinking war ships we sometimes played when I was a kid, mainly against my mom, and it maybe increased problem solving skills later, but we did not play it so often. Mostly there are just two players. Each player has a grid boxed ordinary writing or counting paper and a pen. They choose a square of a suitable size, for example 8 times 8 boxes, and a nice number of war ships fitting well to it, for example one row of five boxes, two ships of four, three ships of three boxes in a row, four ships of two and five ships of one box.  They also number the boxes by marking numbers from 1 to 8 to the side  and letters from A to H to the top so that each box is easy to refer to. Then they each secretly, without showing to the opponent, draw the ship outlines to their water area. No twio ships may be side by side but corners touching is ok. Then they try to guess where the ships of the other player are and hit them to sink the ship under the water. They ea...

My mom was always fond of mathematics. My parents called mathematics the queen of sciences.  My mom once said that seh had had in school math number 11 on scale from 4 to 10, and that later the teachers had rised it to 14. I did not believe it then, but could it have explained why my parents forced me to study math in university, even though I never had even glimpse of any new idea, of any work result in math. My mom was full of new ideas for new math results. She seemed to keep associations in daily life as sources for new ideas in math. I have never liked math. I am much more inclined to objective thinking like philosophy and to practical things to do, arts, nature, religions, caring the world to a good state. I did not feel that math studies after schoolwould have had any use for anything. I have written my view about my mom's math talents in my Finnish blog http://pikakoulu.blogspot.fi
