In a television programme that inspired this article, four couples were invited and given the task of reading instructions on an A4 sheet of paper and following them. The results of the experiment confirmed that certain common traits among members of the same sex do indeed exist - but there will always be exceptions.
A semi-serious quiz for a free moment. Complete it and read which your essence is closer to - a book, a newspaper, or a magazine.
People have adorned themselves with earrings for nearly 5,000 years. Historians studying ancient jewellery have established that small ornaments appeared in western Asia around 3000 BC. The oldest earring found was made around 2500 BC and was discovered in Iraq. The popularity of earrings has risen and fallen over time depending on hairstyle and fashion trends.
The environment we create around ourselves can tell us a great deal. Whether we like it or not, we unconsciously shape the space around us in our own image and likeness. It is sometimes good to tear your eyes away from the work computer monitor and cast a glance over your desk.

Continuing the topic of human body proportions, this time I will focus more on the details - the characterisation of fingers and nails. Although everything must always be viewed as a whole - shape, flexibility, colouring, spread, and proportions - here are some initial schematic observations about finger types.
Sorting through old notes, I came across a former hobby of mine - studying the proportions of the human body and how they reflect a person's inner world, character, inclinations, and reveal heredity and development potential. This time I want to share material about the human palm.
One day we were deliberating on how a person's choice of car reveals their character. Running through the circle of acquaintances, friends, and relatives in our minds along with their vehicles, we ended up putting together a short typological description of each brand's owner. It must be said straight away that we make no claim to any kind of scientific or research-based conclusions - this is purely subjective observation. And exceptions always exist.
An age-old topic, much lamented but always relevant - especially for women, whom modern fashion canons compel to constantly worry about maintaining a slender figure. Having tried various draconian diets and understood that their effect is short-lived, we return to the truth - genetic predisposition and lifestyle. Objectively assessing what we can and should influence, and what we shouldn't stress about.
The concept of happiness is much discussed in philosophy, psychology, and ethics. Happiness is viewed both as a constant psychological state of a person and as a momentary euphoria, a flash. Yesterday I came across a documentary where the state of happiness was analysed in relation to the world's countries and nations. From the analysis of accumulated data, a world map of the happiest and unhappiest nations was also created.
There are dreams we simply don't remember, and we even falsely claim that we didn't dream last night. Everyone dreams, even blind people who during the day see neither concrete images nor colours. But there are dreams that surprise us, frighten us, move us, and regardless of how superstitious you are or aren't, compel you the next day to look for a dream dictionary on your shelf or most likely to search for one on google.com.
