Week 10 [27-06.05.2019] Live your life

Live your life Each of us dreams about paradise places on earth, about sightseeing, traveling. However, let's see how many of us actually realize our dreams? Traveling is expensive, not everyone can afford it at any time, but with a little patience you can save money and go into the unknown. I used to talk to my colleague at work, although I do not like him, he told me one thing, obvious but I still remember her. "Nobody will live for you and you have only one life" It was something that changed my approach to myself, indeed many of us just dream about great adventures but do nothing about it. Many of us just talk about it but after work, they just spend time watching TV series sitting on the couch. What will such a person remember in 40 years? She will not even remember which movies she has watched. Travel memories are not forgotten. Traveling does not have to be as expensive as it seems, we do not have to sleep in a 5 star hotel when we travel abroad, we do no...

Week 10 [27-02.05.2019] Colombian guerrilla

Colombian guerrilla Colombia, although it still doesn't enjoy the best fame, is an amazingly beautiful and wonderful country. However, a dark story behind it is associated with corruption, drug activity and partisan activities. Colombia is a country that is incredibly interested in me, I met many people who live there, I watched and read the accounts of Poles who decided to move to Colombia because they fell in love with it. Due to my interest in this country, I started to read books about it and this way I found a reportage in which the author tells the story of people from the worst times of Colombia, that is from the 90s. Among other things is described the story of a girl named Yineth who lived in the village about Remolio Alto Porte Orteguaza. The world in which she grew up was extremely cruel to her, she didnt know her biological father, but for a short time her life was near her stepfather farmer, her mother who gave birth to her at the age of 17. Sh...

Week 10[27-02.06.2019] A handful of information about Savoir-vivre in business

In everyday life , we meet new people both in social relations and in professional relationships. We would like to make the best impression on new people. Often, the first impression we make will depend on whether we will gain a new customer or how we will negotiate the terms of cooperation we use. So how to point at the boss and get a chance for promotion? How to behave in a recruitment interview and not commit 'faux pas'? It turns out that a great interesting resume and an expensive watch on your hand may not be enough, because what we need is good manners. It is often said, " fine   feathers   make   fine   birds" . That's why it's worth getting to know some basic principles of savoir-vivre in business and make a good impression on the other person. 1. Adapt the garment to the occasion. You may have heard more than once that the " clothes do not make the man" . However, sometimes our dress is very important. Remember to always dress ac...

Week 10 [27.05-02.06.2019] Electric cars in sport

Privately, I am a fan of combustion cars, especially in the discipline of drifting.I love the sound, look and how internal combustion engine work. Currently, due to the environment, more and more cars with an electric motor are being manufactured. It’s not just about everyday cars, but also sports cars. The technologies of electric motors are still underdeveloped, which means that we use them as an aid to traditional engines. Of course, there are pure electric cars, but they are often too expensive for the majority of society or not very practical for long routes. Combining an electric motor with a traditional one in hybrid cars is a transitional stage and is to ensure lower fuel consumption.  Maybe thanks to that, there will be more fuel for such crazy people as me. The following film is one of the first electric cars created for drifting: 1. What do you think about electric cars? 2. Have you ever driven an electric car? 3. Do you think that electric cars will do...

Week 10 [27.05-02.06.2019] Extreme sports

  Elevated adrenaline level, proceeding on the basis on only instinct, risking your own life, that’s what you can feel when practicing extreme sports. Extreme sports were the inspiration to create many films such as: Fast and Furious, Point Break, XXX or 127 hours. We can see that the main characters seem to act like people who are addicted to drugs, they want more and more adrenaline. source - CzaplickiFun The most popular extreme sports are for example: free solo climbing, BMX racing or ice climbing but I want to focus on mountain kayaking and kayak freestyle. I am involved in that kind of sports for a long time and I can say from my own experience that once I have mastered something, I am looking for a new challenge. My sports are mountain kayaking, freestyle kayaking, drifting and starting motorcycle races. Likewise, when I do not experience adrenaline for a long period of time, I cannot concentrate on anything. However, I think that such a way of spending free ti...
