Changes,



Changes, we dont like them, rather we fear them. We can not stop the changes, even if we would like. We either adapt to change, or leave us behind. Sometimes change is good. Sometimes, however, is what all the changes. Whether they are good or bad, life must get used to changes.

Some wisdoms....

- Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
- A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

- He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
- The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
- Pessimism never won any battle.
- Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.
- Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it and wiser than the one that comes after it.
- Study as if you were to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
- Tomorrow's life is too late. Live today.

- Everyone is gifted - but some people never open their package.
- A man who does not think for himself, does not think at all.
- Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

- Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
- If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.
- Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.
- Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
- One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to show them politeness.

Helsinki

So now I have been there again. I have been used to drive through there, but have also visited it 2 times earlier, since other times I have only travelled through Helsinki. Now I was there one nice day in May. We sailed out with friends in the morning and sailed back late evening, so we could sleep in our own beds and wake up next morning at our own home. The weather in the morning had small rainy, but later in afternoon, when we walked more in the city, sun came out and we just enjoyed our time there. We had fun and also a lot of pictures was done :D The perfect end for the day was very nice sunset, what made just to dream and think of nice thoughts.

So, now some facts about Helsinki:
Helsinki is a capital of Finland. Currency they use is Euro. It has good connection with Estonia and it takes quite short time to go there. By plane it might take ca 30 minutes, by boat from 1,5 hours up to 3 hours. The Office of the President of the Republic of Finland, the Parliament, the Government and various ministries are all located in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Approximately one-quarter of Finns live in the metropolitan area as well as the majority of non-nationals living in Finland, so that takes together with suburb area around 1,2 million people to live the city. Suburb cities what has been counted also under Helsinki are: Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. In the late 19Th century, Helsinki grew rapidly and developed into a modern European city. At the command of Gustavus Wasa, the King of Sweden, Helsinki was built at the mouth of the River Vantaa in 1550. The King ordered the burghers from Rauma, Ulvila, Porvoo and Tammisaari to move to Helsinki. The new town was supposed to compete for Russian trade with the town of Tallinn on the opposite shore of the Gulf of Finland.

Thank you for 2 nice people, with who I was spend that beutiful day. It was a lot of fun, interesting and for sure we all will remember tha last coffee before our small way back to towards harbour. That day for me, was nice and deffanetly fun.

Changes in life,



In our lives will happen every single day some changes. Some are smaller, some are bigger in the same time. Sometimes, it can happen, that several changes can happen in the same time. Some changes are good and some changes might hurt and some changes is necessary to do, to deal with life further.
Which are the changes we need to do? Which are the changes, what might hurt us the most? When do we understand, that changes, what happens in our lives might turn our life upside down? Why do we need them at all?
The small word can bring up so many different questions, that sometimes it is hard to find all the answers. But do we need to find all the answers? Feels like not always. Seems, that sometimes it is good not to have all the answers. But is it? Does it not might show our weak sides, if we cannot give the answers to all questions?
Still, we live in the moment we have at the time. Some of those moments are good and make us later, when we think back of them, smile and happy and other hand, there will be moments, what we do want to forget in our lives. The moments, what makes us sad, feeling bad and in stress. Those moments can damage so many things in one. Why else there is saying, that badmouthing has more power than anything else. Is there possibility to stop that snowball effect? Answer for that would be easy, no, not always. Sometimes the damage can be bigger, than someone could admit about it. From beginning of life people have felt about it. Some people are enjoining to badmouth about others, but do those people also admit, that sometimes the words, they tell might not be true? How should be thinking then about him/her? I know, some people does not care about it, since their ego is bigger and they need to be in the middle of the earth. All has to be about them. They can't see even that around them are so many people who gets hurt, but they do not care about it. They can only see in front of their own eyes and nose. That rises up the big question. What about other people? Do they have no heart and no feelings? Should other people forget their problems and things and just think, that the person who needs to be in the middle of earth is most important?
So some changes are definitely good and also necessary and some, we don't like or want, we just have to adjust ourselves with them. Tomorrow is new day. New things and questions will rise up. New adjustments need to be done. Time will show, is those adjustments, what we have done right or wrong, but past will be past and hard to be changed. We just have to accept, that decision what was made in past, will change the future as well as the moment we are right now.
So before big decisions what will change the life, we need to think about the results of that and will we be agree with the end result.
