There was once a king and a servant. No matter what happened in life, whether it be good or bad, the servant would say, “God is good and almighty".

One day the king and his servant went hunting. The servant was in charge of loading the guns the king would use. Something went wrong, one of the guns misfired and the king lost his thumb.

Examining the situation, the servant remarked as usual, “God is good and almighty!"  The king became angry, and immediately sent the servant to prison.

Dear friends! Having been teaching English for so many years, I see that many students have true problems with adverbs. I hope you will read what I have written and ask me questions if you have some. The following are basic grammar rules. Of course, in some particular sentences they may be violated because of this or that reason. So, I would like you to ask me the particular questions with examples, OK? Well, I am starting!

The greatest problem with adverbs is where to place them in a sentence.

He took one cigarette and inhaled it very fast. Then he took another one. He coughed and coughed again. The nervousness was clear. He tried to open the window to smell the fresh air, but he was not able to. Then he thought of reaching the phone to call her. That was also a failure. Then he thought seriously of opening the window, but to his surprise, he could not and his limbs seemed to fail him too.  He began to cough again and again. His body began to shiver. His doctor had, thousand times, to

‘Yin and Yang’ is a Chinese philosophy that describes "how opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected and interdependent in the natural world."

This comes to mean that the opposites need each other to exist.

How could you know how good is a God if there is not an Evil to compare?
Good and Bad are complementary, and none of them can exist without the other. There is no God without Evil or Night without Day.

I've always liked this kind of philosophies...

For instance: Thi

'Every human being has a story and that is a reality and every human being is a hero of that story'.

So here is my experience of my this research...
Since i started researching on human behavior 'Who am i?' this was the only question which disturbed me a lot. i asked to myself and that confusion got converted into a kink. Because every-time my mind and heart was identifying me with a different character. I was confused in this world to identify myself, I believe in making own decisions, I thought

Yin was sitting in the patio and was looking outside. There was still snow in some places and in other places where snow was melt, it was mud there. She likes snow very much. While she was drinking her favorite drink ‘coffee with milk’, she thought why Yang and she couldn’t stop this old quarrel that who is the superior one and important one.

She thought about those days and nights when they were head over heels in love. Everything was beautiful back then. There was no darkness just brightness. I

I have a thing for perfection. Sometimes I think it may be OCD. And yes, regretfully, handwriting is no exception. What did you say? "Who cares about handwriting these days? We can type. Kaboom! Problem solved." True, but you shouldn't dismiss the impact first impressions have on forming someone's opinion of you. What if a handwritten note takes the place of a face-to-face introduction? You sure that others won't judge you, hmm? That's what I thought.

That's why I've put together this list of rem

Love... What's love really? How could everyone describe it?

About one year I was living just in days, only brightness, there were no nights and darkness as well. Everything had seemed white and I forgot the black color, maybe I was blind when I was with him and can't see. Walking with him was just like walking on clouds or snow, sense of softness and sweetness, and walking without him, it's just sticking in mud.

Dear members.


Have you ever realized or gone into the depth of this line "take care of youself." When I used to think of myself that I was nothing nor my life was important for others, I never took care of myself, but as soon as I became the hope for someone and my presence delighted a particular person, I began keeping myself healthier, enhancing my strength, keeping myself more active in all sections of life just to be more helpful, supportive, and protector.

Whoever said it I agree with hi

Henry Hargreaves and Caitlin Levin are two promising artists who have created this fascinating series known as “Food Maps”. According to them, exploring new places through the food you eat is a like a magical portal to the cultural complexities of those very places. These maps are filled with the iconic foods from the country they represent. For instance, tomatoes for Italy, kiwi for New Zealand, spices for India, and noodles for China. If you look closely, you’ll notice that each country is spe

Six months ago, when it was early winter, he began to write a story. He worked on his story day and night. Whenever, he was tired he drank a cup of coffee with milk to reduce fatigue and boost energy.

Sometimes, he was so immersed thinking of his book that he forgot to do things right....One day he forgot to add black pepper and salt in food :( another time, he bought chocolate mousse instead of orange mousse :( and once he couldn’t remember where he had left his glasses :(  He couldn’t see anyth
