What is success to me? (Assignment 4)
The meaning of Success comes in many forms. It depends on what I`m searching for in my life, When I think about the word success the first I got in minde is a bright future. I don´t now why. But then I can ask myself, what is a bright future for me? I can just imagine the way it looks; a bright future to me is to have a supporting family that understand me for who I am, and the things I`m passionated about. Success dosen´t mean money or material stuff. Success is when I achieve my goals in my life, it can be small and maby stupid things sometimes, but it has a meaning to me. Success dosen´t mean that you have to make something right or past a test, for me it´s more like the learning on the way if you understand me. It`s the process that counts, not the result. You dosen´t necessarily need to come to the final destination, the imoprtant thing is that you have tryed. It`s my description of success.
News Article and a blog (Assignment 3)
The power of music: It's a real heart opener
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/05/11/music.heart/index.html
Background of the atricle
I have read the article "The power of music: It's a real heart opener", you can finde it link abov.
The article is about how music affect on people. And how it reduce stress. The article came from CCN on the helth categorie. It´s about Dr. Mike Millers research about how music affect people. "It gives us an overall feeling of good, well-being -- a sense of euphoria in some cases," Miller said in the article.
When I think about musics effect on people I relized that different environments use different kinde of music. for example; in a relaxed environment (a spa) they use spirituals songs to make people feel clam and peacefull. In a shopping store they use music for different seasons; for example christmas; to send out the right "christmas feeling" to the customers; it may make them spend more money in the store.
People all over the world listen to music and I belive that everyone become influenced by the power of it. It makes us happy when we are sad or angry, it makes us clam when we are stressed. It was interesting to read that even hospitals use music therapy to help patients heal.
I`ve searched for a blog with a equal topic as the article and founded one: http://blog.mcse-security.net/2008/01/how-much-does-music-affect-you.html
In this blog we can read information about how music affect people and how it affect him in different situations. He described that some music makes him more focussed than other music. He belives that music can du wonders to people, and help them to get more clam and focussed. I can just agree; it feels like the article and this blog topic can be connected together. Music affect people in different way´s, and I think that we all know it. Music negotiate a feeling through it`s lyrics and the combination of song(s) and instruments.

Anna Ternheim
How has she inspired me?
Well, she is a great singer and her lyrics are interresting and rewarding. Some of her songs remember me of my own life, and I like it. She was nominated for Best Female Artist, Best lyricist and best songwriter of 2005, and I can just agree. it`s inspiring that she is unique; her voice is unique, her lyrics are unique, she has her own styles. She plays piano and sings her own songs how good isn`t that?. I belive it´s hard to finde artists how goes their own way today. She has inspired me because of her own personal style.

Brainstorming: What is a blog for me? (Assignment 1)
What exactly is a blog?
For me, a blog is like a diary that is posted on internet, but one open diary. Blogs are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly.You can tell about your own life, feelings, school or anything. Readers all over can leave comments and tell about what they think about your topics. I belive that blog`s usually have a specific topic. I think that some blog`s have topics that make people interesst (the readers)and they start to follow your blog. Some of these topics putting people in relationships with each outher and they start comversations to share ideas, and meet new friends. I dosen´t like the fact that other people can read all about me, my own life. But it`s up to me what I chose to publish on my blog.
You have to think one extra time before you publish information about yourself or somebody else on internet, other people may not be happy if they finde information about them in a blog. Accept from this blog I have one on my own. In that blog I dosen´t write about my familly for example. Because I dosen´t think it´s rellivant for other people to know about them. Privacy and the internet are of various kinds in my opinion, but on other hand it´s ineresting to read about other peoples life. Blogging have become a really big thing in the whole world . Blogging have influent the whole world, and some people also earns money on their blog.
