Few thoughts about THE WAY PEOPLE THINK

Whether we agree or not, many times, the mind "grinds" negative thoughts of dissatisfaction (such as lack of forgiveness, non-acceptance, resentment, envy, etc.) and in such situation/s, logically speaking, it has no way of generating a positive and a healthy experience, isn’t it?!
The extraordinary part of it is that the mind (representing the totality of your thoughts) is "under the direction" of your will, which is basically the ability to choose the kinds of thoughts it will host, and that in itself gives us all tremendous hope. Your thoughts are like seeds: what you sow, you reap (right?!), and based on that you could choose a certain way of thinking and subsequently a certain way of living. 
Despite the fact that in our society, a human being does not always have the ability to influence the external circumstances and the behavior of his or her fellows, in the end s/he still has the ability to choose how to react to what it is done to her or to him. 
Do you remember the saying: “life is 20 percent what happens to you and 80 percent how you respond”? Generally, that’s pretty much the case! Let it be clear that positive thinking does not mean you do not notice the bad things in life; it means that you try to find a solution in a productive way instead of whining about it.
I know, in theory it sounds good and easy, but practically speaking it is a bit harder.
Well, as you all know, when the ground slips away from under your feet, cling to the sky…Sunday is coming! 
Meanwhile, dear friends please stay healthy and wise!
"The measure of happiness in your life depends on the quality of your thoughts" (Marcus Aurelius)

August 31, 2022: ROMANIAN LANGUAGE Day

The Romanian Language Day is another perfect occasion for all Romanians throughout the world to celebrate their cultural heritage and to be remembered that despite the fact that many people use this language routinely, our ancestors fought for it.
“The Romanian Language Day is a celebration of the Romanian soul, because the language is the most pronounced effigy of the Romanians.”
(Ioan Aurel Pop, the president of the Romanian Academy, at the debate "The current status of the Romanian language")
Limba română are virtuţi complete, adică poate fi vehicul a tot ce se întâmplă spiritual în om. E foarte greu de mânuit.
Prin ea poţi deveni vultur sau cântăreţ de strană.”  ~Petre Ţuţea~
● Excerpt: 
Many definitions have been given of the language and of the Romanian language, but language for me means a living organism that is born, grows, develops and even ages sometimes and flows into other languages at the same time as the people who created it and that served as a means of communication. That's why we are talking, perhaps scientifically incorrect, but in colloquial language, about living languages and dead languages. Ours is alive and no matter how contaminated it may be today by neologisms, barbarisms, hyper-urbanisms, unusual abbreviations, naughty text messages, we should not be afraid. The Romanian language still has the power to remain itself despite these various dangers," said Ioan Aurel Pop during an event held in the Academy's Aula.
Did you know? Romanian Language is mother tongue of around 30 million individuals, and taught as a foreign language in universities, in 45 countries.

FOREST – a precious gift of nature


A beautiful summer walk in the coolness of an ancient forest might inspire your imagination, stir and rejuvenate your senses, while easily and
effortlessly could bring years to your life.

A forest is much more than a collection of splendid old trees….a forest makes our environment clean and green. 
May we appreciate this!
