The Importance of All Subjects

My teenage daughter threatens me she will not study stupid subjects like mathematics for instance. She is good in all her studies so far and I can not understand why she wants to give up. I try to talk to her and convince her that everything is important. I try to explain that well educated person has knowledge in all fields and that everything is related. She opposes me saying specialization is the key, but she fails to see that she needs to develop not only in one field. I wonder what more to tell here to make see the truth. It is so hard with teenagers.

Life Never Gives to You What You Want

It would be great if I had become racer. I had metal bikes wall art in my room when I was a kid and I had dreamt day and night how I will be a racer when I grow up. My dad signed me for karting and I was the best. But then injury comes. Faith turns and your dream fades away. Sometimes I regret it sometimes I think this is for the best. I have a good job that involves traveling around the world. But still I wish I had the chance when I was a kid. I wish I was the one to choose not my destiny to make it instead of me.

It Is a Time for Memoirs

The current governor of California will leave his office during January 2011. Arnold was my favorite actor the time he was a Hollywood star. He was not my favorite politician though. I now that he had won many body-building awards too. It seems he can change his line with ease. I wonder what he might do next. It is logical to sit and write his memoirs. He has a lot share about how he had achieved everything in his life. It would be very interesting for me to read a book written by this man who is a living legend for me.

Will This Be a Suitable Present for Grandparents

A gift for my husband grandparents seems a difficult task for me. Each year I silent panic rises in my brain when it comes to buy presents for them. Last year they were pleased with the present which was my idea. We send them a picture of the family in a nice unique handmade wooden frame with flowers carved. This year I can not send them a picture again. I was thinking about some kind of metal wall art for kitchen but I am not pretty sure wheather they will like it. And my husband is not helpful. He says”Whatever you decide honey, I trust your judgment”. How convenient… He slips away from responsibility and this are his parents. I hate him in such moments.

Is Eating Ice-cream Healthy

My mother used to teach me I should not eat ice-cream because it is bad for my throat. She used to allow me only two times a weak to eat one ice-cream per day. Maybe because of this I had a dream to eat as much ice-cream as I want. It was the most delicious and sweet things on earth in my imagination. I don’t think that the ice-cream had anything to do with having a sick throat. I was having it no mater if I eat or I don’t eat any ice-cream. Children get sick because their immune system is not strong enough. Now when I feel pain in my throat and I eat cold ice-cream and I get a relief. Maybe it is not unhealthy I think it even helps me.

I Had Realized I Am a Conformist

I can not recall in my mind the exact definition of conformist but a friend of mine told in a conversation a week ago that I behave like a conformist. I denied his words but now I have second thoughts about this. Few minutes ago I was browsing the metal-wall-art.com, the store I usually buy decorations for my wall. In fact I do not do it usually – I do it every time. Since the moment I had found this on-line store it was convenient for me and I always use it. I was searching for something new for my bedroom but I found nothing appealing to my eyes. Instead of searching another on-line store I have decided to postpone the purchase. Now when I dig deeper for the motifs of my behavior I can see that this is an act of conformism. My friend turns to be right.
