What is success for me?
For me success haven't got to do with being rich and stuff like that. Sure, that could be one aspect of beng successfull. Like Bill Gates, he is successfull in a money-success way. But for me it's about mental success, with other words how you feel. Or, not feel. It's hard to explain. What I mean is e.g. that you accomplich something, like get a MVG on a really hard test.
But that's not really the explanation I was after. It's more that you get to where you want. It doesn't have to be in a money or work situation, it could be but it doesn't have to be.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that for me success is when you accomplish something/get to where you want to be, whatever it may be, and it makes you feel good. Like a mental success.
Bye, for now!

Memory from this schoolyear
For those who know me, it's no news that I want to be a stand up comedian. But what most people don't know is why, or who it was that influenced me to want to become one. The man that did that is Johan Glans. He is, according to me, the best stand up comedian... well, ever! And it has been one of my biggest dreams to tell him that, that he has influenced me. I don't know why I wanted to tell him that, but I just wanted him to know and I wanted to tell him that in person, even though he had no idea of who I am.
On my 16th birthday, the 25th of July 2008 one of my presents was to go and see him. Live! Front seat. I almost couldn't believe it, that I in one month and one day would actually se Johan Glans live.
And so the day come. The 26th of August 2008. There was two stand up comedian doing their act before Johan Glans and when the second man got of the stage I felt a nervousness building up inside of me. There was a man introducing Johan Glans. And there he was! Johan Glans, in person. The real deal. Because I was so close to the stage I could almost feel the wind from him as he walked by me. He did his act and it was so funny! I couldn't believe I had actually seen him doing his stand up live. He went of the stage and walked away and I was so happy. But that's not the end...
A few minutes later my mom said to me "Look, he's standing in the bar." I turned around and she was right, he was standing in the bar, talking to some girls. My mom told me to go talk to him and I knew that if I didn't I would regret it so much, later. So I did, I went up to him but he was still talking to those girls. I waited and waited... and waited. When they were finally done I said his name and he turned to me. While he had been talking to the girls I had planned what I would say and the words actually came out right. I told him that he was a big rolemodel/idol of me and that he is the reason I want to be a stand up comedian. I thought he would say something like "So?" but he didn't. He was so nice and he sounded really supprised and happy that I told him that, he gave me his autograph, on a paper he had in hip backpocket (so cool!!!) and he also wrote on the paper: Hi Caroline, good luck with the standup. He gave me the paper and I asked if I could get a hug, and I got one. He is by the way a really good huger. He said "So I'll meet you on stand up meetings/nights in a few years." I laughed and said "Yeah, you'll see me on that stage in a couple of years." We said good bye and I felt a really strong feeling of happiness. It was one of the most happiest moments of my life. I had met Johan Glans.
Have a nice day!
