I can

I can fly
I can hear the music of the wind
I can fold the clouds and twine them in a wreath
I can count the rain and make it drop upwards

I can teach you how to fly… because anyone should know how to, and it’s easy, you just have to want it
I can make you sing with the wind in my hair
You can tame the clouds, if you tame me
It can stop raining, if you ask me….

How Many Friends Do You Have?

How many people do you call “friends”? How many people pick up the phone and call you every day to check if you’re OK when you’re in trouble? Do you know all of them?
Sometimes, when you’re in trouble you can discover how many MORE people would want to stand by you.

“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down, “said A.A. Milne. It’s nice to know that people would break down a wall to get to you, indeed. But in many cases a wall isn’t needed. Just leave a door in your wall and people will come in, if they wish or if you invite them.
Thank you all for the support!

Being Bigger than Others - Bigger is Better

I was stuck in traffic today; everyone was going its own direction and wouldn’t let the others past first. Stuck, stuck, and stuck. And there came a tram in this jam and did not stop, just made its way through, “brushing” the cars on its way… and continued its trip…
I was “brushed” as well.
Admirations to the BIG guys who don’t need to stop in a jam. Everyone hates them, but do they care? They made their way…

f...ed it up... again. Why again?

f...ed it up... again. Why again?
Are there other people that never learn from past mistakes and other people's life lessons (never paid attention to them...)?
My colleague collects other people's life lessons, stores them, re-reads them, remembers and cites them.
Obviously, I enjoy banging my head to the wall. Personally. Every time possible. Usually I don't mind - it makes my life exciting. But sometimes... sometimes I wish I did not have to live through this AGAIN and AGAIN. Is it the zodiak? Sagittarius is supposed to be a restless idiot, but doesn't it ever grow old and smart?

Truth or dare?

Have you played this game? And how many times you chose to dare instead of saying the truth?
There is an announcement of the start of a new show on Nova TV - The Moment of Truth, where if you answer 21 private questions truthfully (and pass a lie detector), you can win 100 000 Euro.
Not a bad sum, but what do you have to hide?
Have you asked yourself what are the questions that you don't want anyone to hear the truth?
I did. There is one question that I don't want anyone beside me to know the answer.
How many questions like this do you have?

Thanking for the good job

Today I went to that restaurant with the Boletus Risotto and after having another great meal asked to see the chef.

He turned to be a young man who seemed to feel quite confused and maybe even embarrassed by my act. I shook his hand and thanked him for the good job, for preparing the best tarator in Sofia every day with the same great quality, for the great Risotto and for the marvelous food at all.

I felt great for doing it and he was happy, too. I believe that this will also build on his motivation to keep doing such a good job.

It is not difficult at all to stop and thank somebody for doing a great work. It is easy also to do a miserable work – to serve bad food, to service you poorly, to be incompetent. But when you enjoy somebody’s work, remember to thank for it.

Grow up or grow old?

When growing up one:
- learns new things;
- enriches;
- learns from past mistakes and corrects his/her annoying habits;
- develops to a higher level of communication.

When growing old one:
- looses flexibility;
- cannot deliver up to contemporary standards;
- gets known for accumulation of past mistakes;
- becomes tired of new developments and escapes from new communication tone and channels.

Eventually, we all grow old, as our companies do, as products do as well. But my husband’s grandma, soon to be 90, is a preferred companion and source of advise to our generation and even children. It is all up to her constant will of development and curiosity to life. She was also taught in German-style discipline:
- get up early,
- wash,
- make your bed,
- exercise,
- have a small healthy breakfast …
