work up courage Have you ever tried to do something so unlike you? Like something what you never expected before you'd do but it has kinda made your life a little bit interesting and entertaining and it helped you to get rid of the routine, eh? ;) In my opinion, this is something what everyone needs in their life to fully enjoy their lives. I mean how can we be happy, when there is nothing in our lives what makes us happy? It makes no sense, doesn't it? To sum up, the only one thing we need to take the most of our lives is to have enough courage to take few steps forwards, not backwards. However we also must remember that when we're making no steps, when we're making no actions, then we're also moving backwards.

help needed! what does it mean to have something named after you? i would appreciate any explanation.

hesitation? not this time If you really want to achieve something, don't hesitate and just go for it. The time will pass by anyway, so why don't we spend it trying to make our dreams come true? There is no point of lying around, while you can really DO something what you can be proud of after all. It doesn't matter what your dream is - to be slim, to be smart, to get married, to travel all over the world, to do something worthy - it still is your dream you want to achieve. You better make a step forwards, not backwards. Furthermore, don't you ever dare to make no move. Hesitation? No, thank you, not this time - take it as your motto and you'll be able to do anything.

just take a chance Nobody’s perfect, right? We make mistakes that we can regret later. It’s in people nature, as we don’t really know what’s going to happen next after we make a step forward. It may be good things but bad as well. The point is to have the courage to overcome that bad luck and still have the faith in better days which will definitely come. But we cannot forget the past, because we are who we are due to things that happened to us earlier. If they hadn’t happened at all, we would have been totally different people. So, we should keep in mind people that were beside us then. No matter if they were friends or just accidentally encountered person – as long as they had an influence on us we should remember them. And what if we’ve lost contact with them? What if we want to renew acquaintance with them but we’re not sure if they want it too? Don’t be shy. Don’t be afraid. If you try and promise yourself you’ll work hard this time, it work out. The point is to do what YOU really want to do even if other people have opinions different from yours. It’s your life. You’re the only one who may regret things that could have been different if you only had done something. Just take a chance.

late night thoughts you don't really have to read it all, it's all up to you though i'd just like to know how come it's so hard sometimes to get to know someone and it's so easily for them to let go of you? For me, it should be the other way round. It's not a complaint nor anything like this. It's just a well-known fact and because it really is so well-known, all I wanna do is to grab a beer (haha it may seem stupid, but i don't care. really, I'd prefer to do it rather than complain and cry around) and then drink it up, then get another tin and do the same thing and keep doing it until I realize they weren't worth it all and there's no sense to think of them who ever just let go of me because they simply got bored. How come people are able to hurt others so easily without hesitation? Someone please explain it to me because I don't get it anymore.

introducing myself I came to this site by an accident, actually. I was looking for an exact definition of some word and how should I use it, and here I am. My name is Alex, I am from Poland, I'm 18. I've been learning English for some time yet, it's been like 7 years I guess. Despite the fact I think my English isn't that bad, I am aware I may make mistakes, so I would be grateful for every correction. In fact, English is my favorite foreign language. I've been learning German as well, but not for so long time as English. Anyway, I really want to go abroad someday. I had the opportunity to talk with foreigners, thanks to that student exchange programs stuff, and it was really great to talk with them. I should probably say a little about my hobbies, right? Well, I play basketball and I'm in the school team. I like sport, actually. When I was little, I played football with my older brother and it was fun ;) I enjoy watching good films, no matter if it's a comedy, romance or horror, the point is it has to be worth seeing. I am an outgoing person and I like meeting new people. Anyway, I wanted to congratulate everyone who managed to read this all, as I know I'm not talking about anything interesting. It had to be tough for you, introducing myself has never been easy thing for me haha :) Well, here's the conclusion: I hope I'll be able to make some friends here ;)
