About the Entrepreneur Who Became Rich

Once there lived a fictional character - Jānītis. One day Jānītis was made redundant from a state institution job and without much hesitation decided to set up his own company. Drawing on savings accumulated from his civil service work, after nearly a month Jānītis had established his own company.

Time

Time

Time is an extraordinarily subjective concept, despite the fact that scientists formulated its definition long ago, the units of measurement, and the moments lived by humanity are counted by the world's most precise atomic clock (which loses no more than 1 second in a million years). It seems as though humans invented time in order to be able to control others and themselves - to condemn and reproach others and themselves for something not having happened at quite the right time.

Man's Horoscope - Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Man's Horoscope - Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

The classic Capricorn is a pagan. Life for him is an inexhaustible source of joy and happiness, and therefore, in Capricorn's view, it must not be squandered in vain. Life is also the greatest value for him, and among its events - sex, which in his view is a wonderful mystery, comparable almost to religion. Capricorn knows how to appreciate physical pleasure, but craves something nobler.

Candles

Candles(1)

I arrive at the office, I light a candle on the desk; I come home - I light a candle. When it is dark outside, a person intuitively longs and reaches for light. Not electric light, but the live flame of fire, which has warmed people since time immemorial - and the light of a candle specifically since the 3rd millennium BC. Below, briefly, on both well-known and forgotten types of candle, as well as a little from the worlds of healing and astrology, where candle colour is not only attributed a corresponding healing power but is also seen as corresponding to each zodiac sign and even to each day of the week.

Snowflakes from Beads

Snowflakes from Beads

The bead weaving technique is rewarding for making various small items. It is particularly well-suited to children's small and nimble fingers. As the question of how to decorate the Christmas tree is always relevant, I suggest making a snowflake to hang on a branch.

Human Races

Human Races

I recalled a long-ago heard or even taught classification - the white, black, red, and yellow races. Looking at it more closely now, it turns out that is quite limited and schematic. There are a great many racial theories - one mentions three, another four, yet another five principal races, not to mention the many sub-races.

Christmas Beliefs and Omens

Christmas Beliefs and Omens

Say what you will, but the nights of the solstice carry a certain veil of mysticism, a sense of primordial antiquity and a special light or darkness. It is no wonder, then, that these threshold periods are associated with various beliefs, predictions of the future, divination and even enchantments. These traditions, rituals and mysticism were certainly part of our ancestors' worldview. Can we find application of the ancient beliefs for predicting the future today?

IF Comprehensive Insurance - First-Hand

IF Comprehensive Insurance - First-Hand

So it came to pass that one fine morning I woke up, and what do you think I saw in the courtyard? - my car had no wheels! Not a single one! For some reason I had imagined that getting compensation approved would take at least a couple of days, if not weeks. IF approved the estimate within a day!

verde que te quiero verde

verde que te quiero verde

I first heard the "Sleepwalking Romance" by the celebrated Spanish poet Federico García Lorca in Marianna Verdecia's flamenco rumba masterclasses, performed by Agustina de Cantarote. Captivated by the sound, I also sought out the poem's text online. Lorca's poetry embodies elements characteristic of Surrealism and in particular Symbolism.
