A Boring Life

Many people claims that they have a boring life. Hearing this statement, I actually become skeptical.

According to me, it is ourselves that can make our lives not so boring. People have daily activities. They have to work or learn or just enjoy their time. In a certain time, they surely meet a feeling of boredom. But, then, many people can cope up with it. How do they deal with it?

I'm not sure, but from my view, some of them are:

  • They learn something new.
  • They do instrospection and make some change

Not the Better

A dialog between a man and his friend.

A man: Please fix my smartphone, the screen is blurred.

His friend: Let me see. [checking for some time]

You should buy a new screen. That's the only solution.

A man: OK, my friend, I believe in you. 

His friend: By the way, where is the smartphone you bought from me last month? That is better.

A man: It's on my wife.

His friend: I see. But I remember you had an excellent smartphone with higher RAM.  Where is it now?

A man: It's also on my wife.

His friend: Oh, I se

CLOUDS IN THE SKY

CLOUDS IN THE SKY

Clouds in the sky

are like ideas in my mind,

they are floating up and down,

dancing and whirling,

without a sound.

 

Clouds in the sky

are like waves in our hearts,

they are moving and changing, 

taking our dreams so far.

 

Clouds in the sky 

are like a sweet fragance

that thrives,

filling and touching our lives.

The Nightmare

With a worried face, I was looking at the book of physics. My exam was tomorrow and I had not studied well. My heart was beating and my hands were trembling. I tried to open the book and learn something but all of my efforts were in vain. I had no hope. I was the most unfortunate soul of the universe.

The alarm clock was ringing to annoy me. I thought that I slept while I was trying to learn the book. I looked at the clock. The small hand of the watch was at 8. 

What?

I was late! I had only one h

Write a blog Today

Blogging is related to the main aspect of English learning which is writing. We must know that writing proficiency is necessary too like speaking fluency. Many of us do not like to write something daily. They might have their own reasons.

In my opinion, every English learner should write something daily. Writing habit has several benefits. There are various ways of writing practice; blogging is one of them. A question may be asked that why we should write a blog.

First of all, if we write a blog

Russia underestimated Ukraine and Ukraine mistook Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine because of that. The Ukraine government wasn't fully ready for the invasion. For example, because they use weapons made in the former Soviet Union, they had to retrain their soldiers to use weapons made in Western Countries provided by them. The width of the train rails is different between Western countries and Ukraine, so when relief supplies from Western countries had to be carried to Ukraine by trains, those sup

I Am Always Late

I know what is true and what is wrong, yet I remain silent, thinking that lies will not be hurt, and when I realize that I have to support the truth, I delay it, because when I realize that the truth is death. Supporting the truth became meaningless. 
 
I know who used to love me and who pretend to be my lover, yet I remained silent letting both fight against each others. The winner would be my choice. When the true lover lost the battle and she lost somewhere. I then realize that no one was loser

An uncompleted joy (1)

 

Sara and Dina are sisters. Sara is two years older than Dina. Their parents died when they were very young. They left a big house, an elegant car, and a huge amount of money in the bank for them.  They were wise at the beginning and they agreed to live in the house and sell that car and buy two for them. Sara thought that the car was part of their parents hereditary. They were supposed to keep it but later on she changed her mind for both of them to have a car for each of them.

If you grow plants, often you can propagate the plant with cuttings.  Tomatoes are a great example.

In the photo I have indicated in red where "suckers" exist.  These stems will not produce fruit on this plant but will take energy and nutrition that could go to produce more and larger fruits.  So they should be pruned (cut) from the plant.

If you want more of that plants of that kind of tomato, you can take that cutting and either place it in water or in soil and it will root.  Now you have anoth

Advertisements are an important part of our lives, but do we always understand them?

In this article, I want to discuss the most commonly used creative approach. We see it in advertisements and Art, and it originated in English-speaking countries.

Usually, people take a set phrase, which is well known to the wide public, or at least to the target audience, and change one word with another one.

An example could be substituting the title of the popular book Arabian Nights with Arabian Days. I did tha

Hello EC people*! (yes, the *1 or 2 members that are still here around)

here is this blog post about some movie recommendations:

The idea that war is won by technology is a common mistake that has taken root in the US. Wars are not determined by how many casualties a side can inflict. Rather wars are determined by how many casualties a side can take and keep fighting. Although the Saudis have more high tech weapons than the Houthis, the Houthis have morale on their side. They are fighting to defend their homes and families. They cannot afford to back down. Saudi troops are far less motivated, and many of them are likely u

Olive oil

10238089675?profile=originalOlive trees originated in a number of Mediterranean countries such as  Italy and Greece around 5000 BC, but it was the Ancient Greeks who first cultivated them and pressed the oil in Crete. From there the oil was exported to mainland  Greece, the rest of the Mediterranean as well as Asia Minor and Northern Africa . The Romans then planted olive groves throughout the entire Mediterranean basin.

Olive oil was (and still is ) an important part of Greek culture and it has had many medicinal, magical,

Grapes are sour

We read a story in childhood that a fox tries to catch the grapes but the grapes are higher from its range. When it fails to catch it despite making so many efforts, it says the grapes are sour. Moral of the story we were taught that when people fail to achieve something they work for, they give one or other excuse. 

 
After long life experience, we come to this point that when people fail to reach the other status or trap their prey, they create misperception  or start backbiting. My advice for s
