* * *

Life – a process, similar with mountain racing : others show you one third of a path upwards, two thirds of remained path you rise yourself; and when descent time comes – for hold your breath for an instant, and then rush downwards, all the way mentally begging the God to help you not to fall down on such speed, and thus the way downwards is same in length as the way upwards, but requires tens times less. And when you have safely finished your descent – you have already completely forgotten details of the first third of climbing upwards and descending downwards, but cannot forget details of own two thirds climbing uphill.

City – a home for those with gregarious mind.

Nature – a home for those with lonely mind.

Failure – a consequence of the fact that you didn’t want to be in time.

* * *

Publicity – is when you are written about in newspapers.

Popularity – is when you are spoken about.
