Are you afraid of Friday the 13th?

Did you late at work because you stuck in traffic today? Maybe you are fired? Look at your calendar, today is Friday 13th. If you saw a black cat who crossed your way, definitely your day is ruined.  The legend about Friday 13th is western superstition. Old belief said that Kain killed Abel on that day, and Eve persuaded Adam to bite the apple. Accord Bible, that day is considered as the death of Jesus Christ. In old Rome was a legend about witches circle, which gathers 12 witches, and the 13th member is devil by himself.  What else happened on this fatal day? In the year 1307 was the execution of knights templars, mostly in France, on 13 October. In the year 1927 was bankruptcy on the marketplace and many brokers made suicide. Guess, it was on Friday 13th. About 20 million people in SAD suffer from a special kind of phobia,      paraskevidekatriaphobia. The  Greek word "Paraskevi" means Friday, Dekatreis is thirteen and phobia i

Beware of a woman scorned (story about Ruth Ellis)

If you offer someone a heart full of love, don't expect that you will get the same. Joke of nature is that smart, beautiful women involve with bad guys, who are not able to give love back, or they will give love to someone else, even that person is not a woman of dreams. It looks like the story is over when your beloved chose your competition, but not everybody will make peace with that solution. A woman scorned will say "it ain't over until its over", because her word is the last. The last hanged woman in Great Britain was Ruth Ellis. She killed her lover David Blakely, after a dramatic love story. He was abusing her, underestimate and humiliate, so she decided to kill him. She had cooperator, Desmond Cussen, the man who was in love with her. He gave her a pistol and drove her to the place of crime. Ruth got the death penalty for the crime passionnel. Sudden strong impulse prevailed so Ruth signed her death sentence because of discarded love. When y

Learn about marketing : you are what you represent

A beautiful face opens many doors that are closed for average people. If you are pretty and if you know to represent your beauty, this door will stay open for you always. We can talk about injustice, but beauty will capture our eyes at first sight and even it can deceive us, we will still admire the good shape of the body, pretty eyes, and sexy lips. When we represent our country to the world, we can talk about the beauty of nature, historical tradition, and one of the cleanest sea, Adriatic sea. Imagine that you are in the seminar and you want to know more about Croatia. Would you listen more carefully that it comes from the mouth of a pretty woman? Now take a look at this picture. This is an ex-minister of planning in Croatia.  So, you are invited to a seminar about investment in Croatia, would you be interested in something that she is talking about? On next photo is ex Italian minister, even from the background, she will capture attention. For sure,

Are you a giver or a recipient?

One quote said: Be good to others and they will be good for you. The good act will be returned by another good act. I disagree with this because the world is not fair to place. In life, we will meet various people, and some will really appreciate good deeds and they will do everything to show appreciation and gratitude when you do something for them. This story has another side, about people who take others for granted. They are recipients, not givers. They constantly ask for donors, but rarely open their heart to do something for others. A very sensitive area for giving and receiving is love. When we fall in love and when love is not mutual, or at least is not equal, our limits will be very foggy. We can do things we never thought of before. We can suffer and handle such actions we never did. Passionate love can ruin our pride and dignity, and we will not be aware of this. At least, we did it for him, for her, for love of our life. Sheila really

Are you the adventurous type?

The little child tries to walk alone, without help. The first steps are painful, the result can be hurting knees and falling on the ground with tears. The child will not give up and this is the first risk in his or her life. Life is created in risky situations. In this game, we must lean on ourselves. It is nice to have a safety belt or someone you call always in the case of trouble, but sometimes you will stay alone with your desires and wishes. If you can handle your task alone, you are independent. Ruby wanted to see a new nightclub in her city but her friends were against it. They used to go to old places where all familiar people gathered every Saturday. She called all her girls, but one of them was sick, the others had a date with her boyfriend and the third stayed at home to learn for the difficult exam. Ruby was in dilemma, to stay at home or to go alone? She wanted to change and her wishes were stronger than her fear. She decided to go alone. That ni

How to push someone to make a final decision?

Million plans and wishes, and little time for realization. Life is short for all big dreams we wish to realize, and if we don't use every suitable moment, we are as gamblers who lost big amount of money. There is no worse thing than gambling with time. Something gone and that moment will never come back. Delay is the enemy of every action. As much we delay more time we will spend. One day we will stand in front of the wall, unable to jump over it, because it is too high. One of the ways to move in life is a syndrome of the last minute. When we stand and look into our last chance, the heart will beat very fast. So, this is it. Final chance to pass this exam or you will repeat the year. Last chance to propose that girl or she will leave you alone. Last offer at your work, take it or leave it. Adrenaline jump very high, you are pressured so what to do now? People react very differently in the time of pressure. I am one of the people who will react very positive
