Last week, I read a nice joke that I want to share with you. I translated it from German to English.

Here you go.

A wise Englishman was once asked what the difference between English, Irish and Scottish was.

He replied with the following example:
"If in England you ask for more sugar for tea at an invitation, the housewife fishes a very small piece out of the can.

In Ireland, hand them the sugar bowl and ask you to help yourself.

If one says in Scotland that the tea is not sweet enough, the housewife

Two old grumps meet up and sit on a park bank for hours each single afternoon. Since they feel a bit like there was nothing worth to talk about they used to sigh once a day saying ok. One ok each not more. And before going home they say: see you tomorrow. And that is the whole talk of them. One day one of them thought he´d asked his companion whether he could bring a third old grump. expecting some new ideas the companion agreed and hence the next day the third grump joined them both. The first

Words can be as sharp as the blade of a razor.
They can hurt us, and some of them cut durable wounds in our soul. Words can hurt the same as physical violence.
It hurts that more if someone hurts us we trusted.
The fading or even healing of that kind of wounds takes a lot of time.
Each wound leaves a scar that remains forever.
We can not feel them by touching like wounds on the skin.
Wounds of our skin fade with the time and the most of them will also disappear completely.
Not so the scars in

Sadly, GRACE has had to give up as a volunteer Photo Moderator. For personal reasons and her heavy workload, Grace cannot give the time to moderating photos that she feels members need. That's a shame because she helped many members with advice on their photo titles and descriptions. If it's me moderating, I just delete pics without titles as they break the rules! Luckily I don't moderate photos very often and your kind and generous photo mods take time to help members when they can. Grace has b

Good morning everyone!

I guess you already know that our photo Mod, Grace, relinquished photo moderator. She had been a photo moderator for years, I'm not sure how many years exactly, anybody knows? :) Since I became a member of MyEC for almost four years, she always inspired me and many members (I'm sure) to be active in photo section. Her photo challenges are really super creative and oftentimes she greatly appreciated members' photos. Her positive posture and warm friendship really touched eve

Joining the English 1A class has been very beneficial in equipping me to be a better reader, writer and thinker. By exposing me to a lot of reading material and writing assignments I have been helped to look critically at my own skills and to acquire new ones. In the whole process I have found that there is a relationship between being a good reader, thinker and writer. The better one is in any of these, the better the chances of being good at the other two. 

When I entered the class, I had a pas

It is really tiring!

You are not accepting the one who is meant for you,

and you are running after the one who is not for you. 

Remember, the one who comes to you

is the one who is destined, the sent one. 

And the one who is going away from you is not for you,

It is not necessary that everyone who comes to you, is the sent one. 

Who stays with you always is the one who is the sent one.

When everyone leaves, this is the one who stays with you,

whose face is towards you, and back towards the entire world.

When I was new here on MyEC (I became a member in 2016), I wrote a blog "The book of life".

Maybe is someone interested in reading it.

As it is commonly known that girls like to talk while guys are utmost much more monosyllabic. The following is a sample of how girls can have an endless twitter. Those two girls in the story meet in the city after work. After a wordy "hi" and "how are you?" and a chatter about newest lipsticks and rumour in the circle of friend Girl A starts asking:

A: where are you going?

B: to the cinema.

A: what movie is run there?

B: Quo vadis?

A: what does Quo vadis? mean?

B: where are you going?

A: to the cinema

B

Now, what came to mind is a story about two bicycle fans meeting in the city. As for an easier handling of the story let´s name them A and B. A has bought a new bicycle and B wants to know about it.

See the dialogue:

A: Hi B.

B: Hi A, how does your new bike go?

A: It doesn´t go ....... it cycles.

B: Ah thanks for reminding me. And how does it cycle?

reply of A: It goes well.

Does anyone know other puns?

  Demanding selective processes are a reality for access to many of the internship vacancies. Being well prepared and able to be well evaluated in all stages of selection is a very important differential. One of the most used mechanisms in selective processes is the interview.

  A valuable opportunity for exchange and interaction between employers and candidates, the interview represents a powerful and common method used to choose interns.

  Did you know that there are other several types of inter

Dear Members, 

I, being so considerate, would like to say something to whom it may concern. 

There have been more than six or seven hundreds personal messages in the inbox. I hardly replied to any personal message. I set a principle for online friendship and I strictly fellow my self set principle for more than seven years. There are 224 messages which I haven't read yet. For I have faced much frustration from members who directly or indirectly targeted me. I think I don't need to explain why I ke

All people like to talk about love. Before we have had many discussions here about this feeling. Today I was surfing the net and found one interesting description of love.
I would like to share that with you, my dear friends.

Nine ways of love:

TO LISTEN
TO TALK
TO GIVE
TO VALUE
TO ANSWER
TO SHARE
TO ENJOY
TO TRUST
TO FORGIVE

It turns out, the answer is so simple. Just follow the rules and be happy. LOL

The rapid evolution of technology often frightens. Try to imagine what your life was like ten years ago, for example, and you may notice the number of different routines and facilities we have now in the past.

As far as education is concerned, the equation is the same: innovations emerge and are gradually adapted and employed in the classroom. Some of the more traditional ideas of teaching begin to change, and the advent of new resources has much of the responsibility for the process.

There are so many elements that play a very important part in every ad, sales letter, brochure or any piece of business communication that you write, earn money by writing. And one of the most important elements is the headline.

The headline of your piece will either makes your reader so excited they'll want to read the rest of your ad, letter etc. or it will make them switch off completely.

1. Flag down your reader

Do you have any ideas to complete following thoughts?

Without mistakes, there is no forgiveness.
Without forgiveness, there is no love.
Without communication, there is no relationship.
Without respect, there is no love.
Without trust, there is no reason to continue.
Without questions, there are no answers.
Without justice, there can not be peace.
Without shadow, there is no light.
Without effort, there is no success.
Without the past, there isn't a future.

The opposite would be:

When I ask myself "Who is the most important person of our time", I have only one name in my mind - Elon Musk.

If you don`t know who he is, let me explain. He is an entrepreneur of a "new era" - he is the owner of such companies as Tesla Inc., SpaceX, Hyperloop. He was a founder of a well-known payment system PayPal.

He was that person who decided approximately 10 years ago that somebody should demonstrate others power of electrocars - and he did it successfully. He showed automotive companies tha

I dressed up new clothes and set my hair, just for you, my love, but you are gone, and for whom now I would get dress and go out.

The hot sun, in the noon and after when you were with me was like cool shadow for me.  Now these streets seem burning hot.  I never mind meeting your friends just because of you, but now these are stranger to me.  There is no one like you, you were the soul of my pros and my poetry.  Now words feel soulless.  My heart is now deserted.  I kept my empty room lit because
