“There are no incurable diseases — only the lack of will. There are no worthless herbs — only the lack of knowledge.”

“When you do not know the nature of the malady, leave it to nature; do not strive to hasten matters. For either nature will bring about the cure or it will itself reveal clearly what the malady really is.”

“The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.”

“The different sorts of madness are innumerable.”

“Width of life is more important than length of life.”

Tales from childhood: Physical education in my life.

Hello, dear readers! This is Mr. H. How are you?

Today I want to tell you about my passion. Everyone in my family loves sports! I played on a sports team when I was a child. I enjoyed it, and now my family enjoys it, too.

My son and I are actively involved in sports. I give him various exercises to do, and he carries them out. This started back when my son was little; that was when I became his coach. I'm strict, but fair.

At first, we used to go running together every morning. Later, my son started doing fitness workouts in the park.

By the time he was in middle school, my athlete was already competing in various events. He's my champion! But for us, it's the participation that matters most.

"It's to your credit that our son exercises every day," my wife said once.

Seven against Thebes.

The Seven against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας) (Hepta epi Thēbas) were seven characters in Greek mythology. They were at war in Thebes.

Eteocles (Ἐτεοκλῆς) (Eteoklês) and Polynices (Πολυνείκης) (Polyneíkes) were sons of Oedipus. The conflict started with them.

Polynices, Tydeus (Τυδεύς) (Tūdeus), Amphiaraus, Capaneus, Parthenopaeus, Hippomedon, and Eteoclus were the seven against Thebes.

They wanted to overthrow Eteocles and restore his brother Polynices to the throne. Almost all of them perished.

In the legends, Polynices took the necklace of Harmonia.

Also, there is a tragedy (play) of the same name written by Aeschylus.

Words.

Words vary greatly. They can sound different and have many meanings. There are good words and bad words. That is why it's important to use phrases appropriately and choose one's words carefully.

Sometimes, words can deeply wound a person. Also, it's need to speak in a quiet and calm tone.
