adversity:
1. distress; affliction; hardship
2. an unfortunate event or incident

That's how we feel about deadlines.

Well, that's how we feel about deadlines [2].

We have two quite different videos for you today.

The first one is all about science.

Humans. We have been around for a while now. When we think about our past we think about ancient civilizations, the pyramids, stuff like that. But this is only a tiny, tiny part of our history. What happened before history?

The second one is actually a part of rap battle history: the most anticipated battle (bright and unique) between Oxxxymiron, Russian rapper, and Dizaster, the American one.

Feel free to choose any, both of them do have subtitles. Yet be careful: the second one is 18+ and contains obscene language. https://youtu.be/ldK9qvRBkMI

Yep, we continue our "deadline" topic.

It means something like "an extra enhancement".
Oh, wow, a new post in Viola! That's icing on the cake!
(sorry for that, we are working on the frequency)

anxiety = a state of uneasiness or tension caused by fear of possible future misfortune, danger = worry
(or: intense desire, eagerness)

Laura came into the room, as pale as a ghost. "What happened?" her friends gasped.

Good night.

Yep, it means «to undergo surgery».

It also works for things, like here:
"The blender stopped working again today—it must be on its last legs".

Continuing our topic of the week:

ex.: «The English have raised the simple act of making a cup of tea to a fine art».

It's high time you watched Steve Jobs' Speech at Stanford Commencement Address!

Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself -- at the university's 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005. https://youtu.be/K688lOpHaXU

Our "motivating" topic is continued by this idiom.

Motivation by @gudim_public

"Is the glass half empty or half full?" is a common expression, a proverbial phrase, generally used rhetorically to indicate that a particular situation could be a cause for optimism (half full) or pessimism (half empty).

Well...

That's what we adore.
