Hello, my name is Mirek Navrat, I am from the Czech Republic in Central Europe (yes former Czechoslovakia and yes we have Prague). I write blog about personal growth, life, society, our future and politics. My native language is Czech, but I would like to write texts that can be understood by all people in the world, not only in my little country. So I am also practicing my English here.
I come from a relatively low-income and secular (post-Catholic) family, I like intelligent people, I am an open-minded, but also a reserved person. Politically, I am a moderate centrist liberal these days. I am an optimist and a believer, but I am also very skeptical and critical, so I am trying to pick the best from all moral and spiritual philosophies.
I would like to help create much freer, more just and more prosperous world where every human being could reach their full potential and have an opportunity to accomplish the best quality of their lives in all aspects of it. So, this blog and hopefully my life purpose are dedicated to increasing the quality of life for every individual.
I was born in 1990 in Frýdek-Místek and I spent my childhood in our suburb-style village Dobrá (which means ‘good’ in Czech) in Moravian-Silesian region. I live in Prague now where I work at the Ministry of Education.
I have a Masters’s degree in Political Science. Academically, I was most interested in political ideologies, normative political philosophy, programs/manifestos of political parties, policy analysis (mostly social, educational, tax & business policy), political attitudes & beliefs, elections and political personalities.
I love reading, thinking and writing. I enjoy deep talks with my friends and other great people. I like to learn languages, create floor plans and cities with pencil and paper, and listen to various music genres (vocal trance, American country, pop/dance, German Schlager, symphonic metal or classical music). I also like watching sci-fi, dystopian, historical, political, drama, comedy, family, romantic and other meaningful and interesting TV series and movies.
If you want to know more about me, just look what else I like, listen, read or watch. I hope you’ll enjoy this blog and that my texts will be useful for you.
Mirek
