“Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks”

“If a man insisted on always being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.”

“The worst pain a man can suffer: to have insight into much and power over nothing.”

Tales from childhood: Experiences.

Hello, dear children and adults! This is Mrs. Anne speaking. I'm an elderly woman, the mother of an adult daughter, and the grandmother of a young grandson.

I know about the disease that the lady in red suffers from. I feel so sorry for her! I don't understand those who stigmatize people who have been infected with this illness. The worst thing is that this is an incurable disease!

"Such cases happen. It's scary." my friend said and sighed.

"I hope she can handle it" I said with hope.

Tales from childhood: My parents.

Hello to everyone who reads these lines! What did you do this summer? Have you already traveled, or are you planning on going soon? Perhaps you spent the time in a cozy village? Or even in your hometown, attending events?

It's all me, I ask, Maria, do you remember her? Ha-ha-ha!

I want to talk about my early childhood. I don't remember my parents very well. But life with them was wonderful! I was their only daughter, and they made me happy.

"Look baby, these blue flowers are for you," said my Mom and gave me a blue bouquet from the meadow.

Since then, I really love the color blue and I have a lot of blue things.

Ages of Man.

In Ancient Greece, people believed that there were different stages of humanity.

Golden Age (χρυσή εποχή) (chrysí epokhí), Silver Age, Bronze Age, Heroic Age, and Iron Age are ages of humanity in Greek myths and legends.

During the Golden Age, Cronus ruled. This is a utopia.

The Silver Age was ruled by Zeus, son of Cronus. People lived long then.

Humanity during the Bronze Age was made of ash tree. Their passion was war.

Then came the Heroic Age. Gods once again fought in various wars.

And finally, the Iron Age. It's more like the simple life of people.

Olympic medals come in bronze, silver, and gold for different places. This symbolizes the Age of Man (Γένη των Ανθρώπων).
