Кто бы мог подумать! Как мозг заставляет нас делать глупости
Ася Казанцева

Что хотел сказать автор ?  What did the author say ? 

Кто бы мог подумать!

“I really love the great outdoors, so going for long walks is something I enjoy doing on a regular basis. The one walk that really stands out was actually a spur of the moment idea that turned into a much longer walk than I expected.  It was sometime last March, and the weather was absolutely perfect for some outdoor adventure. 




There's a beautiful national park only a stone's throw from where I live, that is very secluded and a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The park is full of tracks and trails that go through the jungle, as well as a small  mountain, which is famous for its wild monkeys and other wildlife.




As it was a spur of the  moment decision I decided to go alone, and set off about 6am, as the route I took was really off the beaten track, and was not going to be a walk in the park. Looking at the distance on google maps, I guessed it would take me about 3 hours to complete, but I hit a few snags along the way. The first track I took was completely overgrown, and slowed me down to a snail's crawl, and it took me almost 2 hours longer than I expected to reach the mountain.By the time I reached the mountain I was already dead tired and I remember I had to spend some time sitting under the shade of the trees to catch my breath, and decided the best thing to do was call it a day, and make my way back. It was also now getting very hot, and i was already covered in sweat, which was going to make the walk back even harder.




Although the walk was totally exhausting, and left me dead on my feet, I did in fact enjoy most of it, especially the beautiful scenery, and the feeling of being at one with nature. However , I think next time I should maybe  plan my route a little better, and be better prepared.




Thank you …”

2.jakso: Työelämä

Orakelet i Delfi er en helligdom dedikert til Apollon som var kjent for sine visdomsord og råd som ble formidlet gjennom prestinner kjent som pythia. Blant de mange inskripsjonene som prydet tempelet, er det tre som har fått spesiell oppmerksomhet opp gjennom historien.
Den første innskriften, "Kjenn deg selv," Γνῶθι σαυτόν, er et mantra som har inspirert mennesker i århundrer. Disse enkle, men kraftfulle ordene oppfordrer oss til å reflektere over vår egen natur, å forstå våre dyder, feil og begrensninger. Gjennom selvrefleksjon kan vi oppnå større innsikt i oss selv og vår plass i verden. Budskapet minner oss om at før vi kan håpe på å forstå andre eller verden rundt oss, må vi først lære å forstå oss selv.
Den andre innskriften, "Intet til overmål," Μηδὲν ἄγαν minner oss om viktigheten av balanse i alt vi gjør. Dette er en påminnelse om å unngå ekstremer og overdrivelse. Å søke etter eller ønske seg noe i overflod kan føre til ubalanse og forstyrrelser i våre liv. Orakelet lærer oss å finne harmoni og proporsjon i våre handlinger, og å leve et liv der ingenting er i overmål. Dette konseptet gjelder ikke bare materielle goder, men også følelser, ambisjoner og lidenskaper.
Den tredje innskriften, "Et løfte og enden er nær," Ἐγγύα πάρα δ' Ἄτα er mindre kjent, men likevel bærer den med seg en dypere betydning. Dette budskapet minner oss om at livet er forgjengelig og at vi må verdsette tiden vi har. Det er en påminnelse om at vi ikke kan utsette våre mål og drømmer til senere, fordi livet er uforutsigbart. Vi må handle og leve i nuet, sette våre intensjoner og løfter, fordi enden kan nærme seg raskere enn vi tror.
Inskripsjonene på tempelet var en påminnelse om at menneskelig innsikt og visdom er universelle prinsipper som går utover tid og sted. Disse budskapene fra Orakelet utfordrer oss til å utforske vårt indre selv, å finne harmoni i våre handlinger og å leve hvert øyeblikk med bevissthet.

Orakelet i Delfi

I read a book called Breathing in Colour, written by British author Clare Jay. In this book, a woman named Alida travels to India to find her missing daughter, Mia. The book also mentions synesthesia and lucid dreaming. I also talk about my experience with synesthesia.

Vocabulary:
synesthesia: when the senses are blended together
in my mind's eye: in my thoughts
lucid dreaming: when you realize it's a dream while you're dreaming
amnesia: when a person loses their memory
to get off on the wrong foot: to dislike each other at first
