Jetzt hast du gerade dem richtigen den Ball zugespielt. Genau dem, der seit seinem Abi nichts anderes gemacht hat, als immer wieder Neues zu erforschen zu lernen und aufsässig zu sein. 

Ich hatte das unschätzbare Glück in ganz frühen Jahren über einen Weinhändler mit Gastronomen in ganz Europa in Kontakt zu kommen. Mit 25 war mir klar, dass ich mich immer selbst ernähren kann und in jedem Hotel dieser Welt einen Job finden kann, der mir das Geld einbringt um meinen nächsten Traum zu verwirklichen. Schreiben stand immer im Vordergrund. 
Doch davon überleben meist nur die Erben. Die Neugier trieb mich an Orte, denen ich besser fern geblieben wäre. Aber - sie haben trotzdem tausende von Zeilen hinterlassen. Jetzt habe ich gelernt mit der Natur zu leben und wünsche mir lediglich noch von einem Sushi-Meister auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurück geholt zu werden.

Mein Motto lautet heute wie gestern: Mach nur dort Urlaub, wo du dich mit den Menschen auch in ihrer Sprache verständigen kannst.

Kennst du einen Sushi-Meister der einen Ahnungslosen in Kroatien belehren möchte?

I do love to learn new things. I also love being able to create, lately Steemit has afforded me the ability to do both. I am trying to go deeper as an amateur photographer. I have also been plunking around on my guitar some as well.

A bounty of 5.000 SBD has been set on this post by @maxinpower! You can read how they work [here](https://steemit.com/bounty/@steem-bounty/how-to-create-a-bounty).

I have a guitar that i bought long time ago, but used it for 2 months and dind't practice anymore, so lately i've been considering the fact of start practicing again. 

Also i've been getting deep into the world of cryptos and webs related to it, and this is inspiring me to learn some programation skills which i have 0% but i think thats really necesary in this world and is going to be even more necesary later for anyone.

And on a social level i would like to implove my redaction skills, because this thing of blooging as i told is getting my attention.

Thank you for sharing this post, some times we forget about improving ourselves and this made remember those things for a moment.

Greetings.

Ich würde dir dir App Duolingo empfehlen. Dabei handelt es sich um eine sehr innovative Sprachlernapp mit immer wechselnden kurzweiligen Aufgaben die nicht langweilig werden. Ich baue so derzeit meine Spanisch- und Englischkenntnisse weiter aus. Die App macht dabei sehr viel Spaß 😄

Well, I'm always working on improving myself. Lately I have been starting to read books and watch less TV. I also meditate, sometimes even twice a day (fantastic habit). 

I'm working on my photoshop skills, because I'm trying to design t-shirts. It seems to be going well so far, but I'm not satisfied with the results, so I gotta try harder. 

I also work on my body a lot. I go to the gym 4 times a week, I play basketball 2-3 times, and sometimes I go out for a ride with a bike. Gotta keep on grinding to achieve great results!

As of lately I put a lot of effort into achieving lucid dreaming. I had some success already, but not enough. This is an art thar requires consistency and patience!

I don't want the bounty dude. As to what you should do, it would probably be good to pick the top three things you subjectively value in your life and work in those. 

If it is family, that is good. Even if it is relaxing and enjoying life, that is good also. Improving your skills is important but it is not everything. Building wealth is important, but it is not everything. You have to figure out what works for you and what you value.

I've been working on some upcycle projects. I think I'm going to start writing some articles about them. I like the idea that it exercises my brain in a way that makes me see something outside of it's originally intended context. In technology (I'm a programmer) many breakthroughs come from seeing the use in the application of new tech for use not originally intended. Blockchain for example, it's not just a ledger but now complete application platforms. Not to mention saving the environment by reducing waste! I have 5 kids so making sure the world can support them for their lifetime is something I see as important.

I have been working in my english, ( my primary language is spanish) the simple fact of trying to write an answer to your post is sympton that i have improved every day. The japanese language seems more complicated but i would also like to learn it someday.

I also like to read a lot, about almost anything, especially books of universal history, for me it is important to have knowledge about what happened in the history of humanity.

And i've been going to the gym at least 3 times a week the last 3 months. I  feel now healthier and with more energy.

I recently underwent the biggest challenge of my life. I moved across the ocean from America to Africa for work. so far it has been quite an adventure and I am glad I made the choice!

great way to get people thinking! ive just been inspired by @boxcarblue to detail out how Ive left a very good paying job in NYC to pursue "living" in San Diego. This week has been a struggle mentally though, and Ive been trying to think of ways to re-motivate myself to this new lifestyle while not comparing myself to others, or where I was financially this time last year. My main goal this week is to learn how to remind myself that I made the right choices and even though its going to take some time to build a business of my own, I have to just concentrate on my own journey and stop looking at where others are at in theirs.

I have been doing alot of reading lately about the US Supreme Court. I realized a few months ago that I dont really know that much about this branch of the US government so decided to educate myself. I have learned so much already and have even purchased some straight out law books to study. Thats my academic interest. 

My skill interest is Amateur Radio, specifically building, designing and utilizing antennas. I have been able to improve on my understanding of electronics and radio theory while creating some useful pieces of equipment. My next project is a three element Yagi-Uda antenna that I am going to use for Summit On The Air Activations (hiking+amateur radio+points for making contacts=fun!) and hopefully use it to talk to the International Space Station and Amateur radio satellites in orbit. 

I am a firm believer that you always need to be working on improving yourself in one way or another and why not make it something useful while you are at it? Thanks for the post @maxinpower!

In my view the most important thing anyone can do for themselves and subsequently for others is to learn about the nature of existence. Understand that this means learning about yourself, who you really are at your core.

And you might say, what’s the point? From my perspective, once you’ve begun this journey of self discovery you’ll be more consciously aware.

**Being consciously aware for most of the time means:**

*	Being happy
*	Feeling good
*	Knowing that it’s all good
*	No longer being afraid of death
*	Accepting where I am on all levels
*	Being at peace with the present moment 

Being consciously aware also means taking responsibility for my creations, meaning everything in my life right now. Even when the present moment is not as I wish it to be I accept it for what it is, as my own creation, and move on to something better. Peace In <img src="http://www.inspired-self-help-shortcuts.com/images/SmileyText.gif">

>On what are you working yourself these days, what skills are you wishing to acquire and which do think will be useful to have?

I'm trying to get in the habit of manually curating on Steemit more and making at least one post per day.  Also learning how to make a good quality post in less than 20 - 30 minutes.  These are a few goals I would like to accomplish.  @ironshield

I wanted to write what @eddiecorbyn wrote, to which I am very grateful!

I suggest two simplest and most effective way to reach awareness through self-observation, that I have personally experienced obtaining excellent results. 

1. A best seller, that teaches it, is "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.
If you haven't already do it, read it: it will open your mind!
If you've already read it long ago, read it again: every time, you'll capture aspects that had escaped you before. 

2. If you want to pass intensely to practice, a 10 days Vipassana meditation course - if you are sufficiently motivated to complete it - will definitely change your life for the better.

Best wishes, and let me know... thank you! ;)

Muy buen post amigo @maxinpower saludos desde venezuela .

The skills that i'm currently working are:
- cooking: I have never been a good cook, i mean i know enough to prepare some meals but more than that i have difficulties so i'm trying a lot of new recipes and doing some culinary experiences;
- english: altough i think i have already an intermediate level of english i want to go further and improve it by reading books and having some classes at town as well as meeting tourists in couchsurfing from english speaking countries.
- python: i studied a little bit of programming in highschool, C+ and Pascal and because i know we can make some good programs and interact with Steem network using pythin, i'm taking a course on a site called codeacademy
- myself: i'm also working on myself and developing skills running and doing yoga.
For now this are my immediate projects. I really think that is important for people to keep developing skills :)

Since been on steemit I have found my renewed love for photography finding a truly great community on here.  The comps on here have been challenging me personally, taking me out of my comfort zone.  At first I was just not participating and thinking I can't do that... but I'm not one to give up, not long term... so I soon found myself trying and doing new things.  From the short couple of months I have been on here, I have improved my skills more than I could have ever imagined.  I try to give everything a go now.  

As for the future... my challenge is to learn new editing programs, I'm currently sourcing a new program to use, it scares me... A LOT but I really want to be able to use the tools and start editing like a pro!  Lol... I'm not sure if I'll get there but I'm going to keep trying.  

Steemit for me has been really positive... I have achieved a lot of self improvement so far...

Right now i'm currently working:

1. Grow my skills.
2. Grow my value.
3. Grow  relationships.
<p>Why i choice this?</p>
<p><b>Grow my skills:</b> Work is not just a simple exchange of time for money. Receive far more from work than a paycheck. Also receive value through the skills my develop.</p>
<p><b>Grow my value:</b>  Every time i try to  improve myself, which means if i improve my value it also improves around my value. I know that  a rising tide raises all the ships in the harbor.</p>
<p><b>Grow  relationships:</b> It's a main key success in life. When we have facing some problem many times we don't solve it our own skills. If we grow relationship with many people we solve our problem easily. That's why i choice grow it.</p>
