If I had a nickel for every time I've had to read "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka in an English class, I'd have two nickles.

The thing about bullies is that deep down they are nothing more than cowards. They try to use intimidation and fear to get what they want. Unfortunately, their victims fall all too easily into the trap of being afraid and give in to their demands. In many cases, if not all, bullies are people who have themselves been bullied and have learnt how it works. Ergo, bullying is not genetic, it is learnt behaviour. But you do not have to be a victim to bullies if you calmly sit down and think it through to yourself and see it for what it really is.

So there is this painting, which you are maybe familiar with entitled, Seated Woman with Legs Drawn Up. Austrian artist and Gustav Klimt protégé, Egon Schiele painted it in 1917, two years after he had married one Edith Harms.

THE POWER OF YOUR FIRST NAME
Find out what message your first name contains. The full first name given at birth gives the active number. Calculation method: all letters are encrypted, and the result is reduced to a single digit number. Exceptions are the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 (in this precise article, the number 33 is excluded from interpretation, but you can add the 2 digits and use the meanings of the 6 active number, if it happens for you to be a 33, which is very RARE) , which can be reduced to a single digit (1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3=6) but they are also interpreted as 2 digit numbers.
