You are an excellent teacher You are not only a teacher for me, but also a great supporter. Your thoughtfulness and generosity helped me a lot in many difficult situations. Thank you for your patience and everything you've done for us..

WE appreciate and love you))) forgive us for everything....we didn't  want to hurt you))) 

Follow these rules and your life will be full and colour)))

to my mind it's the main rule of fortune)

Adele is my favourite singer now!To my mind she ia great)))
i advise everyone to listen to her songs)))

yesterday we visited the concert of our groupmate,Julia) it was great! I enjoyed almost every performance)))
Julia was the best!!!She is so beautiful,  passionate and graceful))))She made people look at her and be  enchanted )))))))

 

Katherine Anne Porter once said: There seems to be a kind of order in the universe... in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own. I agree with these words because now my life in a great chaos and I don't know what to do!?

Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there…because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else-something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize…you're happy…

You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it.

If you could go back and change just one thing about your life, would you? and if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? or break the heart of another? would you choose an entirely different path? or would you change just one thing?personally i want to change the only one thing, but i know that it would change everything.....
  just one moment. one moment that you always wanted back..

Who knows where life will take you, the road is long and in the end the journey is the destination.

Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.

Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world? Or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives... for better or worse!

The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home.

Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one.

Be yourself. This is that you can do better than any other. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that!
I wish everyone by being him/herself puts something wonderful in the world< something that wasn't there before)))

Coffee is a very flavorful, popular beverage that can be exceptionally enjoyable. Expertly brewed coffee or espresso made from freshly roasted coffee beans can make my day all that much more enjoyable. Coffee is a great pick-me-up, and is very rich in antioxidants.
I'm fond of coffee,espesially with milk.
What kind of coffee do you prefer?

I agree with these words,because i think that we'll have a good life only when we stop thinking about our past and planning about future!but live)))))
we have only now,and that's why we have only a one chance for something!! Don't loose moments!!!! 

Easter gives hope for tomorrow,
As after the winter comes Spring.
Our hearts can be filled with gladness
As hearts rejoice and sing.

May the angels protect you
May the sadness forget you
May goodness surround you
And may Lord Jesus Christ always bless you
Happy Easter!

May God's love and power,
Fill your heart with joy
Today and forever
Happy Easter!

Easter is the most important Orthodox holiday of Ukraine. This is the celebration of the God’s Resurrection - Velykden in Ukrainian, is celebrated every first week after the spring equinox and full moon. That is the holyday that bears the basic meaning of the Orthodox faith - God himself became a man, died for us and being raised, saved the people from the power of death and sin.
 According to tradition, after returned home, the orthodox believers sat at the table. The meal started with Paskha, in spite of the culinary diversity on the table. It exactly took the center place on the festive table. Holiday bread – Paskha - is a symbol of the body of the Lord, and the egg, painted red, symbolized the revival of life in Slavs and other peoples. Painted eggs are one more obligatory festive Easter table decoration, these are 'Krashanky' (painted in one or several colors eggs), and 'Pysanky' (eggs painted with ornament), and 'Skrobanky' (eggs, on which the pattern is applied with a sharp instrument). The main theme of painting have always been floral designs in conjunction with images of rooster, sun, churches, etc.
 Celebrating Easter in Ukraine continues for 40 days - exactly as much as Christ appeared to his disciples after his resurrection. Throughout the 40 days every orthodox believer should welcome with another with the words "Christ is risen!" and receive confirmation in response to these words, "He is risen indeed!" During this time, but especially in the first week people go to each other at home, give painted eggs and cakes, play Easter games. There are many Easter games. The most famous game is Knocking, when children and adults choose Easter eggs and knock them one on another. Whose is broken, those lost.
It is interesting that during the first week of Easter in all the churches is permitted to call bells to anyone who wishes.

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself - and be lenient to everybody else."
Henry Ward Beecher

I think these words must be followed by everyone, because to my mind the greatest problem is that people like sparing themself and blaming or teaching others.But everyone should control firstly him/herself.

a little joke, but a great truth)))))

Every guy thinks every girl's dream is to find the perfect guy.....pshh, every girl's dream is to eat without getting fat)))))

This is my dream too.

Yesterday my sister and I had an argument.I told that I didn't like lies and I 'd like to live without it. I think telling truth is much more better,but my sister thinks that it's not good to tell the truth always, because sometimes it can hurt someone! But to my mind we can tell not everything, or just not tell anything, but lies can spoil everything, and it hurts more than the truth! What do you think about this?

Yesterday was so wonderful day! Finally spring came to us) personally I feel happy on such sunny days!!! But I don't want to work,I'd like to go to parks! How do you like such weather?

 We choose how we feel. Many of us reject that because we are afraid of taking on that huge responsibility.....many of us can't let go, or let our egos go of the bad feelings. It is mostly about the ego..and about our own pride. We can either choose to love one another or let anger, sorrow, and fear take over...which one will we choose...do we value ourselves enough to choose to be happy and joyful in the positive things in our lives. One member talked about the Scriptures...the scriptures talk about the importance of being joyful every day you wake up...and being thankful to see another day. As a follower of the scriptures, I have no excuse to be in fear and deep sorrow.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

for all my groupmates)))))

Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.

Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

The Friendship Ball

A ball
is a circle, No
beginning, no  end.
It keeps us together. Like
our Circle of Friends. But the
treasure inside, for you to see
is the treasure of  friendship
You've   granted   to   me.
Today  I   pass   the
friendship ball
to you.

A good man one day found himself in conversation with God and so he asked Him:My Lord, I'd like to know what is Heaven and what is Hell.God led the man towards two doors, opened one and asked the good man to look inside.There was an enormous round table, in the middle of which was a massive bowl filled with food that smelled delicious.The good mane felt his mouth water.The people sat around that table looked malnourished and ill.They all looked famished.They had spoons with very. very long handles attached to their arms.but since the spoon handle was longer than their own arms they couldn't bring the food to their mouth.The good man shook at the sight of their misery
 God said: "You have just seen Hell".God and the good man then went to the second door. God opened it.The scene that the good man saw was identical to the previous one.There was the same vast round table, the same large bowl that made his mouth water.The people sat around the table held the same spoons with the very long handles.Only this time they all looked well nourished, happy and were engaged in pleasant conversations with one another.The good man said to God: "I don't understand""It's simple", God answered him, "These have learned to take nourishment from one another. The other ones, instead, only think of themselves.
Hell and Heaven are built in the same way. The difference lies within us"
 


To my mind this story should be left without comments. Everyone should make consequences by him/herself!

For my friends))))

Recently i've read a story which made me think, that very often i do things,that weren't worth doing. Now i understand that could hurt my dear people.Because they aren't guilty of my terrible character. Now i'd like to say :Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in your fence!


I want to offer you to read this story too!!!!!!!

  

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.  His Father gave him

a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must

hammer a nail into the back of the fence.  The first day the boy had

driven 37 nails into the fence.  Over the next few weeks, as he learned

to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually

dwindled down.  He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to

drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He

told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out

one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father

that all the nails were gone.  The father took his son by the hand and led

him to the fence.  He said, "You  have done well, my son, but look at the

holes in the fence.  The fence will never be the same.  When you say

things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.  You can put

a knife in a man and draw it out.  It won't matter how  many times you

say I'm sorry, the wound is still there."

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.  Friends are very rare

jewels, indeed!  They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.  They

lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open

their hearts  to us."

 

 

 

 

 so what do you think about it?did you find it useful?

Women's day))))

This world is the best place in the Universe, because of the presence of WOMEN. Mother, Sister, Daughter, Friend or Wife....

No matter what their role, they add meaning to world's existence. Women bring love!

So remind yourselves that we are the best.

i congratulate every woman with this holiday and wish you to keep your dreams big and your inspirations high,to have someone who will take encourage and inspire!

Clear your mind of can't!!!!!!!

I think that everyone MUST work in order to become a good person or a good proffesional, to have everything he/she needs. We shouldn't be afraid of changes.And remember that what we are today is the result of our own past actoins. Whatever we wish to be in future depends on our present actions. Decide how you have to act now!
We are responsible for what we are, whatever we wish ourselves to be.Everyone can work under her/himself.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE OURSELVES!!!!!!!!

Our first school day)))

Yesterday we became more closer to our adult life. The day at school was hard, most of all emotional,but very interesting. I must confess that I'm very glad that I've got to the second class. The Children are very nice and clever,and of course activ. Yesterday I also had an oppurtunity to show my teacher skills.and to tell you the truth I enjoyed it, no matter that I was scared!now I understand that teaching is very hard work and teachers are special people(because every child is unique,and they can find a right way to everyone).Moreover I understand that we all must work hard and learn a lot in order to become a good teacher!

forgiveness

Today is a day when everyone should ask for forgiveness. And to my mind it's difficult to do,because it shouldn't be just a few words, you must feel sorry and confess your mistakes. But to forgive someone is more difficult.How do you think why?
Personally I think that  poeple can't forget and forgive something,that hurt them. And this is inside us and this destroys us, that's why forgiveness is important. Because it is not something we do for other people,but we do it for ourselves- TO GET WELL and MOVE ON!
From personal experience i know that "to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you"(Lewis Smedes) Now I consider forgiveness as a great human  ability. More than something else I want to get this ability, because I want to let the feeling, that hurts me and memories,that do not let me live free,go out.
I believe that every person deserves to be forgived,becouse no matter what he/she does he/she has the reason for this!
What is forgiveness for you?

FRIDAY)))))))))))

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! Finally, i'm sure that everyone is looking forward to weekends. But the most important day of the whole week is Friday!We'll rest finally)))and sleep...

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!

During my life I alway try to do my best in every situation!
And to my mind it's important for a person to do his/her duties.
I really believe that only a constant work can help everyone to get success)))

who could think that this sweet fluffy kitten would become a mischief-maker????

Sometimes She just plays decoration the whole day and shares her activities between eating and sleeping.


But often she's playing with everything she can take. Every day i seek (or if i'm lucky just pick up) my pens, socks and many other little thing. By the way she likes gnawing my exercise-books.
The most interesting fact is that my cat doesn't like eating from her plate. She prefers ours.And in fact she's always starving!

To cut a long story shot she is very funny and she doesn't let me be bored)))

How young we were!!!!!!

I don't believe that we've been together only  for 2 years!

 how do you think all of us have changed a lot? to my mind we've known each other much more and begun to understand. Also I think we became more closer))))))))

The role of books

Contemporary life is impossible without reading. The influence of literature on people's mind is great. Regular reading enriches your knowledge of the world and helps to form your entire personality. If a book appeals to you, it arouses lots of feelings and emotions in your heart. If you take to reading, the world of other people's ideas and problems becomes familiar to you.To my mind the process of reading demands much thinking on the part of the reader because reading exists not only for entertainment. When you are taken away by a thrilling plot and by author's vivid imagination or by his humorous remarks or by the way he portrays people, you can't help reading the book from cover to cover, when the life of a literary character is similar to yours, you take described events close to heart. If you feel that you lack information, knowledge, and words to express your opinions - read more! Thanks to books we can talk to people who lived in different countries and ages. A book is one of the greatest wonders of the world. It gives you a unique chance to link up with authors who lived hundreds and thousands years ago. The book is a faithful and undemanding friend. It can be put aside and taken up again at any moment. Read more and you'll never be bored!

To tell you the truth, I like eating...especially I'm fond of sweets(different cakes chocolates and so on).
But I'm sure that almost all people like sweets....
 now I'd like to tell 2 interesting recipes:

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar

• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease bottoms only of 12 muffin cups or line with baking cups.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, blueberries, grated lemon zest and salt; mix well. In a small bowl, combine milk, oil and egg; blend well. Add dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter will be lumpy.)

GUESS THE BOOK

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.

The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.

           The aim of life is self-development.

            Nowadays people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.The way of paradoxes is the way of truth.

            The one charm about the past is that it is the past.

          ... murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner...

           ... there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about , and that is not being talked about...

           There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written, that is all.

        We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

       All art is quite useless.

       You know more than you think you know, but less than you want to know.

      Women are wonderfully practical, much more practical than we are. In situations of that kind we often forget to say anything about marriage, and they always remind us.

        What is marriage? An irrevocable vow.

          There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating — people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

         One has a right to judge of a man by the effect he has over his friends.

       Every effect that one produces gives one an enemy. To be popular one must be a mediocrity.

          Each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved.

Why do people lie?

People lie everyday.

The simple answer: it’s easy. Of course many people can say that they lie when they are afraid of what would happen if they told the truth; or if they want to avoid punishment, to win favor with friends or to gain control, to protect feelings of their relatives, to avoid  anger or a fear of reduction in social status; and, in some cases, to enhance one's social status. Some people lie to achieve recognition, such as in the case of reporters filing not factually true articles. One need only to observe the politics of today to realize that lying is used to gain an advantage over an opponent!

Why do you lie?
