Is it more important to do your duty or to follow your dream?


* * * 
 There are a lot of different opinions about what is more important: human duties or dreams. Some people say that duty is more important than dreams, because all our life includes duties and people do it every day. Other people say that we shouldn’t compare dreams with duties, because dreams show our inner world, our wishes, our life that we want to live, and duties are necessary, we must do it. To my mind our dreams are more important, because it is like a mirror, it shows ourselves.
   First of all, dreams help us not to give up when the situation is really bad, and it makes us happier when we are all right. Also, it gives us a hope for the better future.
   Then, your dreams it’s a strong motivation in life. You live only one time and why not to try something new and interesting. Because of dreams you develop your skills, you try yourself. But what is the most essential is that you love it! You do it, because you like it, and duties not always the things that you love doing. That’s the problem.
   But there is another point of view. Some people believe that you’re dreaming because you have nothing else to do and that the dreams are the most useless thing in the whole world. They think that if you’re dreaming you’re not serious at all.
  To conclude I want to say that dreams are very important and useful. It makes our life brighter and more complete. And the best variant is to combine these two things and never stop dreaming.

(Your character suspects her husband is having an affair and decides to spy on him. What she discovers is not what she was expecting...)

My husband is the best!!!

Hello my dear reader.
 I want to tell you one story that happened with me and my lovely husband some time ago. So, we have been living together for a long time and we were over head and ears in love. But one time I noticed that he is often late from his work. Then he said that he had a very important work and every weekend he went away somewhere and came back late at night. The first thought in my head was that he had an affair. It made me depressed, but at the same time I had no evidence,there were no signs of betrayal, I mean the smell of other woman's perfume or lipstick  or hair  somewhere on his clothes,nothing of the kind. And what do you think I did? I deciced to spy on him. So, it was Saturdau night.
-What are you going to do, my darling?
-I must go, I'll be at home very late,don't wait for me.
-Again?If you love you won't leave me alone!
-But I can't. I'm sure you'll understand me soon.
And he went away...Today was our anniversary. 
It was the final nail in the coffin.
I wore my black coat, sunglasses and a big hat. Well, what do you think, me dear reader, will anybody recognize me? I hope no. 
I was watching him all the way. When he reached some very old building he turned back to see if there was somebody. I hardly managed to hide behind a tree. He came in the abandoned house. In  few minutes I came in too. I suppose there were he and his mistress, but, my dear reader, I couldn't believe me eyes. There was something that I didn't expect to discover. There were he, my sweetheart, and enormous picture. It was a picture of our portraits,it was a copy of our first collective photo where we were kissing on the seashore.
All this time he was making a pretty present for me.....
My husband is the best.

Failure is an option, but fear is not.
  • James Cameron was very curious boy. He was really keen on science-fiction.During his way to school he was always absorbed in a science-fiction books and it took his mind to other worlds. Also, he tried to understand the World, the limits of possibility.He was hiking and taking samples of frogs, snakes, bugs and looking at it under the microscope. I don't think that he was popular in school, because he had other interests, and that's wny he was a sort of reticent person. I would like to have such a friend, because I think that James Cameron was very interesting, clever and unusual.
  • James Cameron grew up in the 60s, when people were exploring the Moon and deep oceans. He knew about places and animals  that people could never really have imaginated it before. The time shapes him as a very curious man and it showed him that there are a lot of unexplored things in our world. As for me, my time has a big influence on me. I mean that earlier there was no Internet and people did their best trying to find out the information they needed. They used books, they read, they were more curious than we are now. Nowadays there is a good and useful thing- Internet. It makes our live much more easier. And I think that I'm going to become lazier and lazier. 
  • Diving and drawing were very important acticities in young Cameron's life. Diving was an opportunity for him to reseach the unknown underwater world, which was for him as a world of aliens. I have a lot of activities in my life and I don't know which of them is the mist imroptant. I'm fond of drawing, when I draw - I show my soul. Also I like taking photod very much. I'm happy that I can save a piece of obvious beauty, my memories, some events and people of my life by taking photos of it. It's a kind of magic.Really.
  • I haven't the "Abyss", but I really want to. I've seen the "Terminator 2" and I like it very much. I was mesmerised by watching the film with the liquid metal dude. The computer generated animation is really magical. "A whole new world of creativity"
  • James Cameron said that our imagination creates the reality. But also it's very important for him to explore. While he was exploring the Titanic he was also imaginating that he was exploring space, because there was similar environment. It was cold, dark, hostile and there was no hope of rescue if you couldn't get back by youself. There were everything during the exploration: imagination, adventure, curiosity and new experience. I think that the best variant  is when the imagination and exploration are along with each other.
  • Сameron has learned that the most important thing in a team is respect. You respect your team and you get their respect in return. Then, curiosity- the most powerful thing we own. Then, imaginatoin is a force that can actually manifest a reality. And never put limitations on youself, take risks! I completely agree with James Cameron and I support his thoughts.

Serenity 

 The name of my picture is Serenity.The picture reflects my wishes and my Inner World.
Let's imagine that the little girl is me.I want me to be about 8- 9 years old,because I want to come back into my lighthearted childhood. I'm in orange dress because I love the positive colour. It symbolizes the Sun, joyfulness and oranges for me, that's why I decided to be in Orange. Also. the colour is bright and it catches our eyes. 
    Further, the Dog next to me is my best Friend. My true dear Friend. I present  my Friend in the image of the Dog, because I'm sure that dog has all the the most important qualities of a friend- I mean 
loyalty and constancy.
   The picture is painted in calm and tender tones.The sky is light pink, it has a lot of pink and purple shades. Also, there are some clouds in the sky, but it doesn't mean that somethind wrong will happen, vice versa, it means that we can give a rein to our imagination.We can dream about everything we want, lookind up the beautiful sky.
  If only I could be in a such place. A piece of calm,quiet and silent Paradise.

Starry Night over the Rhone



Artist: Vincent van Gogh
Tiltle: Starry Night over the Rhone
Date:1888
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size:72.5 cm x 92 cm (28.5 in x 36.2 in) 
Country of Origin: France, Arles.
Current Location: Museum d'Orsay, Paris
   The picture "Starry Night over the Rhone" is a night landscape.In the picture we can see the river Rhone and it's coast. So, visually we can divide the picture into three parts: the starry sky, the glimmering dark blue water and the coast with the loving couple walking on.There are a lot of shades of blue. Blue colour symbolizes peace of mind and calmness.Also, blue colour shows us that there is night in the picture. Although the "Starry Night over the Rhone" is painted in dark colors, it doesn't look like something gloomy and scary.
  The sky is very beautiful and lively because of the glowing stars.Furthemore, we see the constellation Ursa Major in the sky. The stars and the house lights give many yellow, red and orange shades, that's why the picture is interesting, it catches our eyes.
  I like the picture very much because I'm keen on such landscapes and blue shades.Vincent van Gogh showed us how wonderful is the Starry Night over the Rhone.

Reverie....^_^

Look....=)


"Reverie" is a short film directed by Jaro Minne.It's a really good film about a simple 
thing-REVERIE.Jaro Minne showed us that we always can dream. When we are lost in reverie we can do everything, I'm not kidding, we can do absolutely EVERYTHING, because our imagination has no end and any frames.I think it's wonderful. The little girl dreamed about going for a walk with that boy. And in her dream they were walking in the forest and in the end of their stroll she gave him a kiss on cheek. 
  Reverie is a common thing for all people, it isn't depend on our age or something else. I'm sure that everybody dreams, likes to be lost in reverie, thinks about the most inmost things. It makes our inner World more beautiful, interesting and colorful.
  I rejoice at watching this film.It has a very deep meaning and that's why we should think about it and we should remember that all our thoughts and dreams sooner or later will be real.
