Dragons are the most popular mythological creatures. Dragon tales are known in many cultures all over the world.
Sometimes people believed that dragons were useful and protective and other times they believed that dragons were very dangerous creatures. Old Christians believed that dragons represented Satan.
There were many different kinds of dragons, with different colours and scaly skin. Some dragons had wings and could fly. Some others didn’t have wings. They were called warms and they lived in the water (in the sea, lakes or big rivers). Some dragons could speak or breathe fire. Some dragons lived in a palace under the ocean and some others could be found in caves. All of them liked gold and priceless stones. So people believed that every dragon had a treasure. The dragon’s blood was poisoned and someone who battled a dragon could be killed even in that way, by the beast’s blood. Also, people believed that a fearless army of warriors with swords and shields could be created from the dragon teeth if they got seed in the ground.
Dragons are presented in mythology as powerful, fearless and dangerous creatures. Most known dragons in Greek mythology are the dragons of the Hesperide’s garden, who was guarding the golden apples and Lernaean Hydra Both of them were killed by Hercules. Also, the dragon guarding the golden fleece, faced from Jason and Medea. Even the Christian church created legends of saints battling dragons as st. George. They are many tales about dragons in every country and movies were the cast. Evil or good dragons are the favourite beasts of people, especially of children.

Everything has changed

“Nothing’s different but everything has changed” as Charles de Rint said. In my view, nowadays our society has changed dramatically most because of technology.
Firstly, now we use technology instead of books. For instance, when we search for information we prefer it on the internet.
Secondly, with the use of technology, we neglect the people that we care about. For example, when we go out with someone we usually spend our time on our phones instead of communicating with other people.
In conclusion, I wish we could be more independent of everything that technology offers to us.

Environmental pollution

Today in the world there is the problem of environmental pollution. This started with the egoism of human because he isn’t interested in the future of the other. I wish people had stopped polluting the land either by their own will or by the laws of the state. I hope people don’t have selfishness. Environmental pollution is a problem that most people do not understand its seriousness and I don’t think they understand. I hope someday they understand that we are in danger.

What are the best means of dealing with stress?

Every single person these days is trying to cope with the pressures that they face as part of modern life. All these things we have to cope with is the obligations, and the need to participate in everything we see, and at the same time to be good at it.

The big issue on the hectic pace of modern life is the stress we carry with us. If we want to deal with all that pressure, we need to identify the causes and the reasons that are making us feel so much stress and anxiety. At first, technology has consequences in our life, I understand the fact that technology gives us the opportunity to connect with other people from the other side of the world, but isn’t a little bit tiring to be constantly connected. Today we have access to so many different apps such as, Facebook, Instagram, Tic-Toc, and we actually feel the burden to be active every day, 24/7. These exact actions and habits make us feel more and more pressure. Wouldn’t it be nice to detox from our digital devices?

Beside that nowadays there’s a niche for everything, a label, and we are trying to fit. Again social media are intruding in our choices. For example, if you scroll in your Instagram dashboard you will see so many videos and photos of different bloggers who are actually advertising, going for vacations, showing the working out routine they have, and at the same time are good parents and doing so many things in such a little time. All these things are an image of perfection, but this isn’t real, in real life you don’t have the time to do all those things and after all, do you really need to have that perfect image? It Is exhausting to maintain an image of perfection and you totally don’t need this.

All these together have a big impact on your quality of life, on your physical and mental health. It is possible for everyone to deal with that kind of stress and pressure, and even regain control of your life. For instance, ask yourself why you try to be good at everything good, and why is everything for everyone. Besides that, you think that’s what is expected of you? Or is it something deeper. Apart from that try to unplug from your social media devices, gives you a chance to find other ways that matter and gives you meaning to your life, such as reading a book, as going for a walk on the beach or your towns park. You need to learn how to prioritize, to not pull yourself towards so many directions.

The best way to cope with stress is to accept the things as they are, identify the source that adds more pressure in your life. Give attention to your actions and your habits. Stop giving excuses and accept things as they are. Everyone can change, It Is in our hands.

“Stress, Anxiety and Depression are caused when we are living to please others.”

– Paulo Coelho

Think of a way that the world has change.

Nowadays the world has changed because of an issue. I wish that issue had never existed because it has brought the upside down. I wish people could walk outside without fear. I wish their lives don’t change. But all the strict protection measures created for one reason. If we had misheard the warnings, now the situation would be different. I wish I could see my friends one more time because is really boring inside the house. Also, I wish this situation changed soon.

Procrastination

Procrastination has a deep meaning. Is the explanation of delaying doing things for one reason or another, which is really negatively. For example, as the writer says: 140 million hours humanity spans watching YouTube, we could have built four more pyramids as Giza. That was a really specific example showing the inactivity of humans. There are plenty of people who are bored with the idea of finishing or starting a new project, work or something else. Another factor that creates the procrastination, is to have a tech device like laptop. These new technological improvements are effecting people to stop working or thinking. As a result, they can escape from the guilts. As the internet is getting better and better and new apps created the more temptations are creating. For example, if a person wants five minutes to relax he thinks of surfing on the internet. But the five minutes becomes hours and the day end without any improvement. Endless I want to complete with my opinion. Personally, procrastination has a really negatively affect in my life. I am scared of reading new vocabulary and opening my companion. So I let it and the pages become units. So I want to get a new start that is why I am trying to read more.

My favourite season is Summer. First Summer is my favourite season because the school is closed and I get up whatever time I want . Second I don’t have homework and all day I play with my friends, I go at the beach and I go with my Family many excursions in or out of the island and we see new places and sights. Third and final almost every summer you came and one cheer us up that we had time to see. This is the three reasons that summer is my favourite season.

What makes a perfect friend

Hi everyone!
This week I’ve been thinking about the nature of friendship and the things that are essential for a true friendship. Personally, I feel that by far the two greatest things about friendship are honesty and trust.
Honesty is something necessary for friendship. When you are honest with your friend, you avoid the lies and there is a connection of trust between you and your friend. Honesty is not something that you have for the begin of your friendship, is something that develops when there is trust between friends.
Trust, is something the same essential as honesty in friendship. In case we need help and everyday push you be a better person. Similarly, you need to trust your friend to be honest with him.
At the same time, shared interests is an important thing in a friendship. As people know, when you have the same interests as your friend, we spent more time together and when you have a friendship you need to have time for it. Also, this is a thing that in case if do not have it would cease to exist.
In sum up, honesty, trust, shared interests are essential for a true friendship but is not only that. Take some time to maintain these qualities so that your friendship is valuable.

Reactions

Reactions is a virtual reality app where you can test your reaction time.
Reactions is a VR app made by Jim k. It’s an app where you do many different tests of your actual speed, but also you can train your self to gain more speed. There is a variety of modes. Some of them are reaction time test/train, reflex test/train, Speed click test/train, Color speed test.
Although as the creator of the game said, you should play this game for at least one hour, because it may cause problems such as Nausea, vomiting, colour blindness and many more (especially if you play the Color speed test mode).
You can download this app on the Steam Market. It’s for free and it waits to see how good you are at it and to train you so you can get faster than a cat’s reflexes.
