Tales from childhood: Physical exercise with benefits.

Hello, dear readers! I'm Mr. H. What have you been up to? What interesting things happened?

This is how it happened for me. My wife and I washed the windows in our new apartment. Our son participated, too.

It was like a gym class. We repeated the same movements many times! Ha-ha-ha!

"Dad, I brought cleaning supplies," my son said.

"Thank you very much, son" I said with happiness.

"Oh, I'm already tired; everything will probably hurt tomorrow!" my wife said.

"No matter, we did something useful and trained our bodies." I encouraged her.

The next day we really felt the result of the "training", but all the windows in the new apartment became cleaner, and the view of the street became more vivid.

Pan.

Pan (Πάν) (Pán) was from Arcadia (Ἀρκαδία) (Arkadía) in Greek mythology. He was known as a god of nature, flocks, and shepherds. Pan's parents were: Hermes and Penelope.

Goat and pan flute were his symbols. 

Echo (Ἠχώ) (Ēkhō), Syrinx, and Pitys (Πίτυς) (Pítus) were Pan's consorts. Silenus (Σιληνός) (Sīlēnós), Iynx (Ἴυγξ) (Íynx), and Krotos (Κρότος) were his children.

Pan met with different characters.

Subjectivity.

Subjectivity is something that relates to the thoughts of a specific person.

Some people simply express their opinion about a subject and give it a rating. However, points of view may differ.

Objectivity is the opposite of subjectivity. These are different philosophical ideas.

Tales from childhood: If there was magic in our world.

Hi! I'm Sophie. I want to tell you about my world.

What if we were all wizards? People would be able to do whatever they wanted.

"I want to get a magic wand now!" I say out loud.

The object immediately appears in my hands. And with the help of my magic wand, I continue my spell.

This way, I can improve some difficult situations. For example, when someone is arguing with someone else. Or if I want to get something quickly.

But these are all just dreams... As well as unicorns, mermaids, dragons, and fairies.

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”

“I ask not for any crown  

But that which all may win;

Nor try to conquer any world

Except the one within.”

“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”

“A faithful friend is a strong defense;

And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.”

“I want to do something splendid…

Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead…

I think I shall write books.”
