Guide to becoming a MILLIONAIRE!
You probably heard at least once in your life phrase: Money will not buy you happiness. If not, why everyone wants to be rich? Let's be honest, money can most definitely brings you happiness. It might not free our souls from chains of reality but it will pay the bills and give you quite comfortable life. Now, that we established that money can and will bring us happiness, what's the plan? How do we get rich? Does it have to be illegal? After all there is a saying that first million is always stolen (or at least that's what I've heard from some fellow broke people). Well, not necessarily. Rich people most of the time were born rich. They simply got a head start. Not every rich person was born rich though. What is it that those people have in common? They know the real definition of money. As Robert Kyiosaki says, money is debt. If we want to be rich we have to learn to manage the debt. The book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is Mr. Kyiosaki's story of growing up with two dads - his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad - and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. In his book he reveals that school will not teach us about money. After all, school was created for one reason only: to make a good factory workers. No matter what your degree will say. The whole institution is programming young generation to be enslaved. Learning about money is the first step to change your view on life. Being rich means thinking like rich. Rich people do not buy random stuff, they invest. According to Wikipedia "Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, such as taxes, in a particular country or socio-economic context. The primary functions which distinguish money are: medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment." On the other hand we can find a slightly more clear definition of fiat money on Investopedia: fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity such as gold or silver but rather by the government that issued it. The value of fiat money is derived from the relationship between supply and demand and the stability of the issuing government. If the second definition made you think about the whole economic situation in the world, then you not alone. When I was reading this definition I got a bit confused. They teach us in schools that we have to work hard, save money and maybe then we get to retire without worry. But if the value of money is strictly depend only on the issuing government, then we are not in the most interesting situation. After the pandemic, value of money drastically decreased as the governments all around the world has experienced the largest economic crisis in a century if not more. This is why we should not be scared of debt. Its part of life and once we master it, we win. We need to be also aware about the scammers who will try to sell you the idea of strugle free life within minutes. Nothing that is good comes free. It all takes work. Not for someone, for YOURSELF. Grow, learn and be wise.

Time
According to Wikipedia, Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. We can further read that there are two contrasting viewpoints on time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe – a dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled. Aristotle believed that time correlated to movement. In his opinion, time do not exist on its own but is relative to motion of objects. He also believed that time is related to the motion of celestial bodies which is why it seems like something non-existent.

We are not alone.
There are some things in our world that are still hard to explain even considering huge step forward in our general knowledge about the reality we live in. For example, how is it possible that the ancient pyramids are build with such precision and are in almost perfect shape until this day while our modern constructions are able to last maybe 20 years without maintenance. There must be a reason for all those mysterious things that happened long time ago. Or maybe humanity simply got dumber?

Something different
Hi, you wanted to see me. - I said full of hope that this time it's something important. Have a seat. - he said and left the room. I never liked to be in his office. It just seemed so human, so non-magical. But this time I could almost feel that he got something unusual. Sorry to keep you waiting. Let me show you the reason that I called you. - and before he could continue with the speech, he disappeared. The thing that he brought with him started to move. I approached it to uncover it and...

England and it's rulers.
Did you know that England had 61 kings in its history? That makes me wonder, how amazing is to be a ruler. You have it so easy! But wait, is it really true? Let's start with the names. First king alone had name so difficult that even historians were conflicted on how to spell it! I mean, is it Ecgberht, Egbert, Ecgbert, Ecgbriht, Ecgbeorht or Ecbert?! I had difficulty writing it letter by letter, not to mention spell it. No wonder why he got so agressive and destroyed the kingdoms that wasn't so easy to influence. After so many tries to spell his own name, he probably gave up and said screw it, just destroy it.

A little big change
Some people are introverts, some extroverts and some are in the middle. Some people wants to conquer the world and others just to live and die peacefully in the end. I never knew who I actually was until that day. I used to keep it low and look out more for others than myself. I was in many short relationships and only 2 longer ones. In both long-time relationships the one who broke up was him. Why? Simple. They were assholes and couldn’t stand that I was carrying and loving girlfriend.

Love not from this world
There is never a good time to do it. It never will be. – He thought and started to walk on the meeting. On his way down, all he could think about was her reaction. The look in those big beautiful green eyes. The way she walked and talked. All that so perfectly imperfect.

B-Power
Let's forget about the conspiracy theory and focus on the facts. We are simply magnificent! Especially our brains. Like a millions of super fast and super functional computers. With 80-100 billion nerve cells, known as neurons, the human brain is capable of some astonishing feats. Each neuron is connected to more than 1,000 other neurons, making the total number of connections in the brain around 60 trillion! Neurons are organized into patterns and networks within the brain and communicate with each other at incredible speeds.

Me - human
It is my first night trip through my reality. Sky full of stars and somewhere in the middle our Moon. Earth's natural satellite. From here it's so bright and mysterious. You would never say that this is only reflected light coming from the Sun. It gets me thinking how so many things are so much different than they seem to be. We see little bright object in the sky called star and we don't even realise it might not longer exist in the Universe. We don't think how big or from how far it's coming, we just see it shining.
