Today

Hey guys!
I was just watching some inspirational videos on Youtube. That's because I needed it 'cause I didn't feel so well... for some reasons.
Anyway, here is what I liked (at least one of the things that I liked).
The value of today.
Here it comes:
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called - the present.
And here is one video about the importance of never, never, never giving up. So, spend your day striving! Trying and working hard on your goals. It will give a sense to your day. It will give meaning to your time. Nobody wants to be depressed. So, in my mind, the answer is - striving.
Strive not to be depressed. Put up a goal. Not necessarily to achieve it, put it up in order to get yourself to strive for something. Nothing, and I mean nothing is impossible once a man puts their mind on something. Put your mind on health, therefore, see it as something that emanates from your body as every cell pulses with energy and health.

And, back again, never never never give up. No matter what.




And here is another one:


I don't think these videos need any comments from me. They speak for themselves.

But, I want to say one more thing about my wife. She is a person that doesn't need to be told all this. She is stubborn and persistant. She set her goals to make a living by doing what she loves to do and does best. Graphic design, photography and visual arts. She set up a photoshop brushes store this year. She worked hard to create many many photoshop brushes sets and put them on for sale. She works hard to spread the word about that store, she creates loads of Photoshop brushes for free and she decided that she will make a living creating and selling her arts.

Sometimes it's tough, a day or two with no sales at all. Then I look at her how she loses motivation for a while. But just for a while. Then she get's up and does one more thing that that can be done in order to achieve her goal. After this one thing is done and goings are still tough, she makes another thing, then another and another and another and another. She has a great product. Everyone is praising her work and I know, she will never, never give up. It's not easy. But it makes sense. She is my inspiration. And the very least I can do is to support her and help her in any way I can.

But, I admit, sometimes I'm down. Sometimes I can find just enough strength to get out of bed and get to work and do my eight hours. But I know, just as well, that I will, sooner or later, get my energy back and do one more thing that can help her achieve her goal. I was down last few days, but now, I think, it was enough, time to move asses, 'cause I know I can do much more then just spend my 8 hours at the office. These 8 hours do not have any sense, helping her in achieving a dream - that makes sense.

So, one small step, as a symbol of me coming back to help her out is to create this post, speak from my heart and provide one little link back to her site.

No worries B. I'm right here behind you. All the way.

Get into good mood with Photoshop Brushes

I know, it's kinda strange headline. But, just hold on a second and everything will come to it's place. First, I know that this site has no visitors whatsoever. Actually, if you are reading this, you can freely consider yourself a very special person. A rare person. Why? Because I rarely get any visitors here whatsoever.
Well, anyway, if you are reading this - that's fine. You're one in a several millions.
So, where was I?
Ah, yes! So, if you want to get into a good mood, sometimes it helps to make a good deed. At this moment there is somebody, somewhere is starring at the screen after a lot of work, hoping that someone would visit and buy her Photoshop brushes which, by the way, happens to be a very good and worth every penny! The site is http://graphics-illustrations.com. Get any Photoshop brushes from that site and you'll make someone very happy. And that will make you feel good. I guarantee. Send me a message if you buy something if you want to verify that.

How to deal with obstacles

I was just hanging around, the other day, minding my own business, when this ugly round shaped brown-greenish bad breathed thing just appeared in front of me without showing any intention to step aside and let me ... you know, proceed to ... whatever I was up to.

"Gee" I looked at it with probably not too flattering expression of my face "What, on earth, are you?"

"I'm an obstacle in your life! Ha-ah ha!" it sounded like ... can't really say, awful, horrible! I mean I've seen obstacles in my life before, but this! This one was, like, really nasty!

"I'm an obstacle in your life and now I'm gonna ruin all your plans and you will not be able to proceed with whatever you wanted to do until you deal with me dude!"

"Yeah, right, so you claim" but I was more like mumbling into beard and nodding then really talking to it. Frankly, I was kinda caught by surprise here, I mean I've never saw it coming. We all know they do come from time to time and there are these small ones that can be just kicked off the way. But this one! It was kinda almost bigger than me. Really, big ugly one, this obstacle.

"And that's not all! There is a whole bunch of them that came here with me. C'mon guys, you can show up now!" It behind it's back when, like ,five or even six of them appeared just of nowhere and started to move towards me.

"So" I said "Why did you come into my way?"

"Because." The main one starred at me with her arms crossed.

"Yeah, well, that's a hell of a good argumentation. But here's what I'll do. I will BLOG about you. A-ha!" I wasn't really sure where was I going with this but I had to move fast before they just smash me. They were kinda scary I have to admit that.

"Yeah? And what good will that do?" A little smile started to show on the corner of her ... mouth? Ah, whatever that was...

"What good will that do? I'll tell you what good will that do. It will do ... great, because when I write and talk about you you become smaller and smaller. And that's not all, I just ran out of ideas on what was I to write about in my blog and I'll use you as a topic of my post, so thank you guys for helping me out there."

I felt I was re-gaining control of the situation.

"And that's not all, I will use you as a the opportunity to show myself how capable I am of dealing with obstacles, even big ones, like you guys. Sooner or later I will prevail. Or I will die in the battle - honorably. So, you won't see me begging for mercy of something like that if that's what you were hoping for."

It looked a bit surprised I must say. I mean that was the biggest one I ever saw, I guess I should have been impressed.

So, what I'm saying here guys, use the obstacles as they can show you what material are you really built of. Use them to help you to become a better person.

Only few selected people know about this blog

I was checking my stats for this blog the other day.
Ok, I ain't promoting it, thats' the true. Even my wife doesn't come here unless I kindly ask her.
But still, zero visits?? And for a few days in a row??
But, then I decided to be proud of my blog.
Because, obviously - it's a secret blog!

Google and FBI decided to make a pilot project of hiding some of the blogs and this is one of them.

It's being visited by FBI agents from time to time and that's it. (They need to check, you know, standard operating procedure)

So, if you are reading this blog and you ain't no FBI agent, then you should feel proud of yourself too. Because you are privileged. Read as much as you can because it may disappear from your screen any moment now ...

Can't make up your mind about what to do? Let me help you.

So, you can't make up you mind about what to do, huh?

This is a common problem. You're not alone.
There's even a song about it, quite popular back in the... well very old. It's called "Should I stay or should I go", by barely known punk-rock band called The Clash. Very very old, they were found somewhere at the time when US was discovered by that blog Galileo.

But, every problem has a solution! Well, at least most of them, have, some kind of solution.

OK. Let's be honest, some problems have a solution and some just don't. Learn to live with it!

Fine, I'll be brutally honest: Most of the problems don't have a solution. Almost none of them!
And yes, you are mortal but that's not a real problem for Christs sake!
So, just drop it!

OK, where was I? Ah, talkin' to myself, writing rubbish.
So, you can't make up your mind about, say, what to do.
Why do you think I'd know how to help you? Just because it's in the header of this post? One more lesson: Never, never trust the header. It's usually misleading. Actually, this article is about growing artichokes!

Don't you just sit and stare at the monitor! Go, grow artichokes!

Look, if you stare at the screen for long enough your ears will grow double size, (sometimes even triple, depends on the size of the screen according to some research done by some University).

Just wait to see how you funny you will look at the section meeting tomorrow. Funny head, cross-eyed (that happens if you move the mouse too much) super-sized ears. Particularly efficient if you have a sales pitch or something...

OK, that's it... what? you didn't like the article? well UP YOURS! Go, make a better one and post the link in the comment, now go ... shush! go go!

P.S.
You could as well do something useful, that is if you REALLY don't want to grow artichokes. Go, collect money for your new camera. (Click on that link to see which one I'm talking about. I'm tired of writing... Why don't somebody pay me to write this sh!t? People get payed for all kinds of ... ah, whatever!)

Are you a quitter?

Of course you'll say: "No!", noone likes to think of himself as a quitter. Quitters are bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! (OK. Triple bads should do it!)
However, there are times when it's perfectly ok to quit. I bet you didn't know that!
So, when is it ok to quit you'll ask impatiently ?
Always!
There is an old Chinese proverb - If you fail on the first attempt, just forget about it. It'll never work! (ok it didn't go like that but it was about quitting.)
For instance, let's say you'd like to have a blog. You go to Blogger or WordPress or any other blog service and then you're asked for a password. You enter some password. Then you're asked to confirm it. Then you enter it again. And the warning appears that the passwords do not match!
What the heck?!? Just leave it dude! Go surf! To hell with them stupid blogs! Who reads them anyway!?
