“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” ― Pablo Picasso
You know what?! I always thought that way too. And Picasso said it perfectly

Good advice for myself and for you guys: be comfortable by being uncomfortable.
We are the most connected generation in the history because of the technology.
But we are the most disconnected with each other and with ourselves.

roll the dice, by Charles Bukowski.
if you're going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don't even start.
if you're going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you'll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you're going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.

I bought this book when I was in NY, its a book with Charles Bukowski’s poems. I don’t know, I saw that book quite by accident, opened it, read some poems, and it was enough to make me buy it.
I will show you some good and deep lines, that I really liked and found interesting
How are you doing, by the way?
Is everything good?
I know, I haven’t been writing as much as I did before, I just felt like I have nothing to write about.
Or I just focused more on other things in my life.

Have You Earned Your Tomorrow
By Edgar Guest
Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along?
Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng?
Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,
Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?
Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;
Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say,
You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?

Hey guys, this text is gonna be for this who want to know English on a good level.
I’m not talking about particular levels of English, I’m talking about REAL English. The English that you will use in your daily life.
Now I’m going to really focus on improving my English. Especially pronunciation. I’m not saying that my English in general and pronunciation isn’t good, I mean it’s fine. But I want to be like at the very very very good level.
So I already started reading and learning poems, reading tongue-twisters, I’m going to apply for an English class in my town to improve my grammar, maybe I will prepare and study for the TOEFL, we will see.
In general I’m going to study English specifically, because I want to. I know living in the USA, your English is improving anyway, without studying.
But imagine what it would be in one year, if you will study it every day, taking classes, working on your pronunciation, learning something new.
I think your English will improve hugely! That’s what I want.
And one thing that will help you to improve your English by yourself is to learn it through the things that interests you.
Me personally, I love reading, I love quotes, I love watching other people’s speeches with life advices, about philosophy of life, something inspirational. I was watching YouTube videos about leadership, or something like “How successful people think?”, “How to be a confident public speaker” and many videos like that. Or TED talks. That’s my thing. I was really obsessed about this. It was useful in two ways: I was learning general information that really interests me, and also I was learning English.
You have your own interests. Maybe you like singing, learn your favorite songs and sing them(I know it’s so obvious). If you like watching tv shows, watch them in English with subtitles(I think it’s for everyone). Now with internet, you can find everything, it doesn’t have to be boring.
Anyway, learn English following your interests. That’s how you definitely will improve your English. And It’s not gonna be boring.
For example, I like writing and guess what? I write in English! And I’m so happy that I can express my thoughts and my feelings somehow through writing in another language.
I like reading. I try to read a lot. And not just reading a bunch of different books, but reading what seems interesting to me. Recently, I started reading about philosophy a lot. Philosophies of life. Everyone should have his own philosophy, the way how he sees life and how he should live his life. I can talk about this a lot. Which I will in another text.
This year I’m gonna focus on improving my English, seriously. I hope you will start with me too.
So guys, start doing something everyday, little by little.
Learn English by following your interests.
Don’t be a fucking lazy ass!

So guys here is the thing.
Yesterday I was tired and went to bed early, about 9:30 pm. I was already sleeping at 9:45, and girl with the guy who were staying with me in the hotel room of coarse they weren’t sleeping. They were having fun together (which is absolutely fine).
And she came to my room and saw that I’m sleeping and run away laughing so LOUD to tell that to the guy that I got asleep so early.
And then they both came and the girl took the picture with flashlight of me while I was sleeping, and they ran away laughing so hard.
It really pissed me off! Of coarse I woke up and was so angry, really I didn’t know what to do. That was like, I lost my patience, that was like enough, I thought like some people really don’t understand when I’m being nice with them. They start taking it as granted and act to me with no respect.
And even after I didn’t say anything to her, but she was laughing so fucking loud in her room, that I could not get asleep till 2 am in the morning.
I was so angry, that I couldn’t stop myself and when she was laughing so fucking loud for two hours, I lost my patience. I said to myself “enough is enough! I gotta do something”.
When she was at the next room laughing so loud I send a message to her.
It was this: 👇👇👇

Another good advice:
If you don’t like something — tell about that. Tell directly to that person. Don’t talk about him at his back with other people.
Try to be honest. And always say it to person, personally.
It’s hard.
Yeah, the person might not like your words, but the main thing you will be honest to yourself. You will stand for yourself.
That’s what matters. Respect yourself. If you won’t respect yourself, then other will treat you like a piece of shit.
And there won’t be no respect from others.
Respect yourself first.

First advice in learning English by yourself — know the reason why you need to know English.
You gotta have strong reason. You should understand why you want to know English. Maybe you want to study in USA, maybe you wanna work in states, or you just want to go abroad.
Why you need English???
I wanna try myself in writing solid books which will last longer than my life, maybe acting, do public speaking to inspire others, and to have a lot of friends from all over the world. Those are my goals and reasons why I need good English.
What are yours? Answer this question and you won’t have a problem of finding a motivation to do the study.
Otherwise you’ll never speak in English.

All right guys, I will stop recording my face so often. I bet you are already tired of seeing it every time lol.
I just wanna say, keep dreaming, keep working toward YOUR goals, especially when it seems so hard to keep going.
I am not a perfect person. I have my ups (when I feel INSPIRED and I have the momentum to live and work everyday with ENTHUSIASM), and downs (when I feel like SHIT, I am scared of everything, when in my head there’s only NEGATIVE thoughts, etc.)
But no matter what, you always should try to do your BEST. That’s what MATTERS.
Be yourself.
Tell your truth.
Work hard, smart and long hours.
Be a good person.
And believe me,
everything happens for a reason.
Bye-bye
