Am I the next Ebenezer Scrooge???

Hello everybody !

'It's the most wonderful time of the year...'   those are the words that Andy Williams once said about Christmas, however I was wondering whether Christmas time is actually as wonderful as all Xmas songs tend to tell us.

Recently Christmas atmosphere is becoming more and more about a commercial boom rather then an actual time spend within your relatives and the ones that you love.
People are going crazy about buying gifts as if it was the only aim; who gives and receives the best Christmas presents.
Preparing a Christmas dinner is way to overrated, not many people are capable of preparing the food in a nice and calm atmosphere, they are even less likely to actually enjoy the division of Xmas tasks such as cooking,baking, cleaning, putting on and decorating a Christmas tree, wrapping up gifts and so on...
Some people have to work even on the Christmas Eve, at universities, well they give you a Christmas break, but you have so much homework and so much to study for that you can't even ...

 You know what ... WHATEVER ! I LOVE CHRISTMAS


Even though, my mum is so stressed out when it comes to preparing Christmas, my sister and I are always complaining about the cleaning, my dad is moaning about how much money is wasted during this period and my brother is just being lazy I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CHRISTMAS.

Because no matter what, this is maybe the only time of the year when we actually get to spend time together, sing carols together, eat fancy food, laugh, drink. watch for the x time Kevin Home Alone and just be together. To be honest with you, my Christmas is nothing like those ones in the american movies, where everything is so magical, but I would have changed them.

My family can be really messed up, but guess what I Love it and that's why I adore XMAS, as simple as that :)



Merry Christmas everybody!!!!

10.12.1948


Hello there !

Here I am again, I'd like to share with you a fact that most of us don't even pay attention to, however we all enjoy its achievement every day.

Sixty eight years ago on the 10th of December the organisation of United Nations approved the Universal Declaration of Humans Rights (UDHR). Back then it was a milestone for humanity as it was a first document to concede those rights to all people and all nations without any exceptions. What is more, it was made by group of a people who represented a variety of legal and cultural background from all around the world.

It is worth remembering that so far it has been translated into over 500 hundred languages, which means that not only it has been introduced in countries that are well developed but also in those where access to education is insufficient.

We all shall celebrate this day by choosing a path that leads us to a world yet more equal.

Not good enough ...

Talent vs Skills

Today’s blog will be quite short. If you think that I’m being lazy and that’s why I’ve decided to shorten it, that’s not the case. I just thought that sometimes it’s better  to say less when you're trying to explain things. Moreover, the more coherent it is the better you guys will remember it. Because as someone said the wisdom is not what you learn from one day to another but it’s what stays in your head. After that introduction let me ask you something:  

How many times have you complained about not being gifted? What I mean by saying 'not being gifted' is that you think that you’re not talented enough. We as humans we tend to look for excuses for our laziness and failures.
Allow me to put one thought in your mind; talent is not necessarily a synonym for success. Only people who can combine talent with skills will be 100% fulfilled and satisfied with their success. As a matter of fact, successes that are easily achieved don’t normally fulfil us with pleasure and proud of hard work.
Talent is something that you’re born with. However, skills are gained throughout our lives by working hard and pushing ourselves harder and harder to make our goals and dreams reality. 


  “The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft." - Will Smith
