Posted by Matis on October 6, 2010

Pursuit Of Happiness

Posted by ==A=N=Y=W=A=Y== on October 6, 2010
Happiness - isn't that the thing that all of us strive to find and keep? Nobody is happy all of the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others. Studies on what makes people happy reveal that it doesn't have much to do with material goods or high achievement; it seems to whittle down to your outlook on life, and the quality of your relationships with the people around you.

I wish to everybody found the happiness===A=N=y=W=A=y===

A matter of opinions

Posted by Gabriel Gómez on October 5, 2010

It's a matter of opinions. Some people can build him an statue and some can call him bloody killer.

Such a difference. Same place, different angle. This is the statue of Julio Argentino Roca. He realized the desert campaign where several natives people were killed in 1879. We have him as a national hero on the one hundred pesos bills.The photograph was taken on the civic center of Bariloche. Argentina.What do you think.

Eastern Taiwan

Posted by Grace on October 5, 2010

Last week I visted some places where are located in the eastern part of Taiwan named Hualien. Why I would like to go this areas twice within one month? It's because the landscape is very attractive and unforgetable, and the clouds and mountains are so impressed. When I got up in the morning in the cottage there, I felt the air was extremely fresh,and the flowers spread their fragrance far and wide. It seems that we are in Hawaii. At night the sky was very clean so that we could see thousands of

Thank you for the opportunity...

Posted by Judith on October 4, 2010

Lord, thank you for the opportunity of:

Falling, because it is the only way to know that I am capable of rising, shaking off the dust and continuing with my journey.

Committing errors, because only in this way I can acquire the wisdom necessary to make a better decision when a similar situation presents itself. Losing everything, because otherwise I would not know the true value of things and always remain with that which is most important.

Feeling in danger, because it is the only way of knowing h

It has been proven, people in mountains learn English more quickly:-) /about relativity of not humand mind only/

Posted by Matis on October 4, 2010
The other day when I was browsing English online newspaper I stumbled on an interesting article in The Independent in its science section with similarly interesting headline: "Einstein's theory is proved – and it is bad news if you own a penthouse" . At first sight you probably say something like „Nothing special. His theory has been recognized for almost century, this doesn’t bring anything new.” Thinking this too, I opened the article with expectation of some dry facts and figures about astrop
