All the children are linguistic genius If someone of adults wants to obtain quickly an inferiority complex, all that he needs to do is competing with one-and-a-half-year-old baby in learning of a foreign language. For example, let's send a successful intellectually and physically gifted thirty-year-old man to a small village in the Central Italy and give him a task to stay there for one and a half year living in an italian family and learning Italian. And, of course, let's ask him to take his one-and-a-half-year-old baby with him. Now they are going to Italy, one of them has a quite definite mission, and the other one is going there just for company. In one and a half year our successful man will learn speaking Italian with a strong accent. His baby will learn speaking Italian too, but with the italian pronunciation that distinguishes exactly the population of that small village where they have lived. And this fact can be easy explained: all the children are linguistic genius. I have read this in "How to teach your baby to be physically superb" of Glenn Doman. This book is full of love for children! I liked it. And have you ever heard something about him and his methods?

Parmigiano Oggi sfogliando un libro della grammatica italiana mi è sucesso di leggere questa frase: Parma è una città dell'Emilia Romagna e i suoi abitanti si chiamano parmigiani. Niente di speciale, ma mi ha fatto sorridere perchè ho pensato del formaggio :) Non dimenticherò mai questo fatto!

The first snow Finally! Two days ago there was the first snow in my city. I really listen to the weather forecast and I never watch TV news, so I didn't expect for it. I was pleasantly surprised and I couldn't miss this event. Therefore, after lunch I had a walk in the forest. The pond was almost fully frozen and there were still a small flock of ducks. During the stroll I was listening to the crunch of snow under my boots. I like this sound! I recalled New Year's Eves of my childhood when I and my sister were waiting for our father from work to go to buy a Christmas tree, whereupon we were hauling it together to home listening to this pleasant crunch of snow under our boots. And this weekend I'm going to visit my parents to celebrate my father's birthday :)

Let's make a short test You know there are four types of blood: 0, A, B, AB. But do you know that there is the dependence between your type of blood and your diet? Not so long ago I read an interesting article about this. Then I asked a few of my friends what they prefer to eat, and guessed their types of blood! I liked to observe their reaction - they were pleasantly surprised :) So, at the beginning all the people had only one type of blood - the first one (0 type). They were trackers and ate meat accordingly. People with the 0 type of blood usually have perfect digestive system and strong immune system created for effective metabolism. Quite often they have allergies and stomach problems because of high acidity. Good food for them is meat (except pork), fish, vegetables and fruits (except sour fruits). Then, when people mastered agriculture, began leading more settled life, and eating vegetable food, the second type of blood (A type) appeared. People with the A type of blood usually have vulnerable digestive tract, weak immune system and heightened sensitivity of the nervous system. The best food for them is vegetables, fruits (except sour fruits), some kinds of fish, legumes, and groats. Along with more settled life humans began raising livestock and drinking milk. The third type (B) of blood appeared. People with the B type of blood (so called nomads) usually have strong immune system and balanced nervous system. They are omnivorous. And the forth type of blood (AB) includes pluses and minuses of the A and B types. In fine, people with the 0 type of blood usually eat meat and fish. People with the A type of blood usually are vegetarians. People with the B type of blood prefers products of milk, and people of the AB type of blood can be vegetarians or omnivorous. Sorry for reiteration, I still don't know how I can except it. So, let's make a short test. If this is true for you (your type of blood and your preference for food) comment this entry with '+', and '-' otherwise.

Just funny I read this yesterday and it reminded me my university years :) Yesterday I went to bed at 10:00 p.m. And it was 2:00 a.m. when I was still lying and rejoicing at going to bed so early.

The winter is coming The winter is already at the door and today we are waiting for the first snow. Meanwhile, I'm drinking a cup of tea with milk and cookies, reading "Eat, Pray, Love" in English to build up my vocabulary. Enjoying my vacation :) Have a nice day!

The correct way is not always the straight one A few days ago one of my friends wrote the following: To give up in the beginning of the way is weakness. To give up in the middle of the way is stupidity. Thereby, either don't start the way or continue till the end. I answered nothing. I don't like when people rigidly define something nontrivial. Regarding to the phrase, what if somebody gives up in the middle of the way because he has realized that it was wrong? Is it stupidity? Or what about giving up in the end? Sometimes someone with a great stubbornness dashes against the rock, steps on the same rake twice like a fly, that is hitting itself on the pane near by the window leaf, instead of looking for another entrance, exit, way to reach the goal. Does it make any sense such persistence? The correct way is not always the straight way. It requires brainwork, analysis, and correction depending on changing conditions. So, giving up is not weakness or stupidity, but a decision, somebody's correct way.

About miracles We, people, are surrounded by miracles, which we observe without any wonder every day. It doesn't mean that we don't want to see them; we simply don't know that it is a miracle in front of us, especially if we see it every day. One of this miracles is a human body and especially a brain.

Being who you are All of us should give an opportunity for being oneself and personal growth to everyone, who is around. We shouldn't prevent people from walking in time with their own music. This is a talent of encouraging and supporting love, passions and dreams of other person, even if you don't share them. Have a nice day, friends!
