"Шанс на девушку"
Недавно Макс Розер, исследователь из Оксфордского университета, поделился фрагментом объявлений о знакомствах. И вот одно, опубликованное в газете в 1865 году. В рекламе под названием «Шанс на девушку» молодой человек рассказывает о своих лучших качествах. По сути, он себя рекламирует, подчеркивая свои достоинства.
«Мне восемнадцать лет, у меня хорошие зубы, я верю в Звездное знамя и 4 июля. Я взял у государства участок, очистил восемнадцать акров в прошлом году и засеял десять из них.
Моя гречка выглядит первоклассно, а овес с картошкой растут буйно.
У меня есть девять овец, двухлетний бык и две телки, кроме дома и сарая. Я хочу жениться. Я хочу купить хлеб с маслом, обручную юбку для женщины. Но я не знаю, как это сделать».
Мы никогда не узнаем, нашел ли этот молодой человек любовь всей своей жизни, но мы должны приветствовать его усилия ... и, по крайней мере, его гречку.

🐣 Have you ever wished someone a Happy Easter only to be told it's not 'their' Easter yet?
It happens to the best of us especially when we don't realize that our friends, students, or co-workers belong to the Orthodox Church, which celebrates Easter on a different day than the Catholic Church and the majority of the world.

👴🏻 The Wise Man
People had been coming to the wise man, complaining about the same problems every time. One day he told them a joke and everyone roared in laughter.
After a couple of minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.
When he told the same joke for the third time no one laughed anymore.
The wise man smiled and said:
“You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?”
Moral of the story:
Worrying won’t solve your problems, it’ll just waste your time and energy.

🧳 Who do you usually travel with?
👨🏻 your husband / boyfriend?
👩 your wife / girlfriend?
👨👩👧👦 your family?
👯 your friends?
🐩 your pet?
While it’s wonderful to share a special trip and new experiences with friends, a partner, or family, there’s a compelling case for travel alone from time to time.
Solo travel can work for anyone, whether you’re single, in a relationship, extroverted, or introverted, and here are some good reasons why you should try it.
✅ Simple logistics
You don't have to coordinate the time of your trip with anyone
✅ Work on your bucket list
Visit whatever you want, eat wherever you wish
✅ You're a great company
Listen to your thought, meditate, dream
✅ Meet new people
Often people who are alone appear to be more sociable
✅ Do everything you want and nothing you don't want
