It is said that you have the right to decide for your own future; we all know this is not true. We('ll) study at the university subjects that we haven't chose due to what we like but because they will ensure you a descent job and a "descent" salary (hopefully)....

Θέλεις την ευτυχία; Κοίτα σε τι συγκεντρώνεται η σκέψη σου. Θέλεις το μέλλον σου; Κοίτα σε τι εστιάζεις το παρόν σου. Θέλεις το παρόν σου; Κοίτα πίσω, από πού έρχεσαι. Θέλεις να αποκτήσεις; Κοίτα τις αντιρρήσεις σου. Θέλεις να πραγματοποιήσεις; Κοίτα τα όνειρά σου. Θέλεις να γίνεις; Κοίτα τα δεν μπορώ σου. Θέλεις να είσαι; Κοίτα την πίστη σου. Θέλεις να αλλάξεις; Κοίτα την ελπίδα σου. Θέλεις να νοιώθεις; Κοίτα την καρδιά σου. Θέλεις να αγαπήσεις; Κοίτα την πλάση γύρω σου.

These are some parts from movies or books, songs, etc that I really like
"Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us, we don't know what form they will take, one day old man the next day little girl but don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fears as any dragon yet they're not here to fight our battles but to whisper from our heart reminding that it's us, it's everyone of us who holds the power over the worlds we create; We can deny our angel's exist, convince ourselve they can't be real but they show up anyway, at strange places and at strange times, they can speak through any character we can imaging, they'll shut through demons if they have to, daring us, challenging us to fight..."
(Sucker Punch)
"When the going gets tough, you have to ask yourself one question, do you believe in you? Only you can answer that question..."
"It's too hot for a penguin to be just walking around" -Billy Madison
"Does it feel exciting to you? If it feels like an adventure, go on it. Real paying theatre awaits you. Invest yourself where you get the most return for your investments. FOLLOW THE YESES! I am always appropriate"- Aaron Hagan
I don’t know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
"Who honors those we love for the very life we live, who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we'll never die, who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend, who change us and who holds the key that it can set us free... It's you, you have all the weapons you need, now fight!"
(Sucker Punch)
"Forget regret or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way, No Day But Today."

I know, I haven't updated my blog for a long time but time is rushing me lately. Well I have been thinking (all this time) what makes me go on everyday, to overcome all these obstacles and not always but sometimes complete my goals. Is it fear? Or maybe knowledge? Or anxiety? Every time that I have to go through an examination I am always afraid. But the time before the crucial day I can't figure out if I am capable for doing this or not. But does this really matter? The results will show you soon how well-prepared you were for this test. Lately I had let stress rule my life and this wasn't a wise move. But now I am trying to control it. And it is really hard. I believe the toughest thing to do is to get to knowing yourself. Many people believe that is easy but in fact it isn't. I forgot what I wanted to write about :P ... Anyway I'll keep writing whatever comes to my mind.
Also fear sometimes makes us stronger and more push us to go on. But what kind of fear? I would say the fear of failure. And power of will can help us do things that we never knew we could ( I use "we" bcause I adon't like using "I" all the time)
A person can also motivate you to become better. Sometimes when they are upset with you they might start screaming at your face (* anger also can help!) but in a good way OF COURSE!!! Sometimes when they expect less from you, this will be your opportunity to shine and prove them that you worth more. And sometimes some people without doing anything or tell you anything, anyway I can't explain it they just motivate you. Last but not least it is true that you can become a better person in order to impress someone else.
That's all for now!

5 τρόποι για να καταλάβετε ότι κάποιος σας λέει ψέματα
Σχεδόν όλοι οι άνθρωποι λένε αρκετά ψέματα κάθε μέρα. Θέλετε να μάθετε πότε κάποιος σας λέει ψέματα και πότε την αλήθεια; ...Διαβάστε παρακάτω για να μάθετε πως…
1. Παρατηρήστε καλά το πρόσωπό του ανθρώπου που σας λέει ψέματα. Συνήθως αποφεύγει την οπτική επαφή μαζί σας και φαίνεται πολύ νευρικός και ανήσυχος.
2. Προσέξτε τις λεπτομέρειες. Όταν κάποιος σας λέει ψέμματα, το πιο πιθανό είναι να πέσει σε αρκετά λάθη. Π.χ. μπορεί να μπερδέψει τις ημερομηνίες από 1 γεγονός, να μπερδέψει διάφορες λεπτομέρειες και να πέφτει σε αντιφάσεις.
3. Αν κάποιος αποφεύγει να απαντήσει στις ερωτήσεις σας τότε μάλλον κάτι κρύβει. Αν κάποιος βρίσκετε σε αμυντική στάση χωρίς προφανή λόγο, τότε μάλλον σας λέει ψέματα.
4. Όταν σας κατηγορεί ότι λέτε ψέματα. Πολλοί το κάνουν αυτό για να διώξουν από πάνω τους την ενοχή για το ψέμα που μόλις είπαν.
5. Ρωτήστε τον αν σας είπε ψέματα. Αρκετοί άνθρωποι νιώθουν άσχημα όταν τους πιάνουν να λένε ψέματα, οπότε ομολογούν ότι είπαν ψέματα για να ησυχάσουν την συνείδησή τουs

The Claim: A Fake Smile Can be Bad for Your Health
Really?
The Claim: A Fake Smile Can be Bad for Your Health
THE FACTSWhen was the last time you flashed a fake smile at the office?
For some, it may be just another mundane aspect of work life — putting on a game face to hide your inner unhappiness. But new research suggests that it may have unexpected consequences: worsening your mood and causing you to withdraw from the tasks at hand.
In a study published this month in the Academy of Management Journal, scientists tracked a group of bus drivers for two weeks, focusing on them because their jobs require frequent, and generally courteous, interactions with many people.
The scientists examined what happened when the drivers engaged in fake smiling, known as “surface acting,” and its opposite, “deep acting,” where they generated authentic smiles through positive thoughts, said an author of the study, Brent Scott, an assistant professor of management at Michigan State University.
After following the drivers closely, the researchers found that on days when the smiles were forced, the subjects’ moods deteriorated and they tended to withdraw from work. Trying to suppress negative thoughts, it turns out, may have made those thoughts even more persistent.
But on days when the subjects tried to display smiles through deeper efforts — by actually cultivating pleasant thoughts and memories — their overall moods improved and their productivity increased.
Women were affected more than men. Dr. Scott suspected cultural norms might be at play: women are socialized to be more emotionally expressive, he said, so hiding emotions may create more strain.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Research suggests that an inauthentic smile to hide unhappiness can further worsen your mood.

Funny Stories
Joe's Accident...
Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking companies fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?" said the lawyer.
Farmer Joe responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the......."
"I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'"
Farmer Joe said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road..."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."
Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his gun and put her out of her misery Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her - how are you feeling?"

- Toy Test
Obtain a 55 gallon box of Legos (you may substitute roofing tacks if you wish). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold and take off shoes. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.

Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.
- Ingenuity Test
Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a ping-pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.
- Automobile Test
Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it into the CD player. Take a family-size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a rake along both side of the car. There, perfect!
- Physical Test (Women)

Out With The Flu...
I ran into Jim at work yesterday. He had been out for a few days with the flu. I asked him how he was feeling.
"I'm better, thanks. You know, it was a wonderful experience." he replied.
"Wonderful? How can the flu be wonderful?" I asked in stunned disbelief.
"Well, I learned that my wife really loves me. You know that whenever the mailman came by or a delivery man headed toward the door, my wife ran out to meet them? I could hear her excitedly saying 'My husband is home! My husband is home!"

Green Tips!
The kitchen is the heart of every home, because it provides a place for sustenance and good conversation and family pow-wows. If you’re current kitchen isn’t one that meets your needs, a green upgrade is probably what it could use. In addition to being able to customize your kitchen to your liking, you will also be able to decrease your electricity bill and preserve your food for longer. Who can argue with that? When you have a house full of hungry people, you have to save money somewhere, but you don’t have to put your dream kitchen on the back burner.
Here are some tips that can help you remodel your kitchen in an eco-friendly way.- Purchase energy-efficient appliance. Your refrigerator is a big consumer of electricity, because it has to run all of the time. However, by installing a certified energy efficient dishwasher, over, refrigerator, freezer, etc., you will see a large decrease in your monthly electric bill. Once you get the large appliances green, you can work on the smaller ones like the toaster oven, blender, and other devices you use on a regular basis.
- Install more efficient lighting but try to rely on natural light as much as you can. So first, make sure your windows are free of blinds and drapes during the day. If you have any plants or large furniture or decorations in the way of the window, move them somewhere else. Then you can put compact fluorescent (CFLs) light bulbs in your existing lighting fixtures.
- Improve existing cabinetry and cupboards by stripping and repainting them. You would be surprised how much different they can look with a new paint job and hardware. If this isn’t an option, go with ones made from renewable resources and recycled materials such as wheatboard and bamboo.
- Enhance the kitchen with hypoallergenic materials. In other words, avoid paints with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other products that will decrease your air quality.

A paratrooper was scared to jump. His instructor told him, "If anything goes wrong, say, `Buddha oh Buddha' and you will be saved." The paratrooper got so scared that he forgot to pull his rip cord. So he said, "Buddha oh Buddha," and a hand came out and saved him. He said, "Thank God," and he was dropped.

Italian man shot in head sneezes out bullet
This is an Intersting article that I found...
The bullet reportedly pierced the right side of his head behind his eye socket and became lodged in his nasal passage.
He was rushed to a hospital emergency ward shortly after midnight. While waiting for doctors, he sneezed the bullet out of his right nostril.
Doctors operated to remove bone splinters in his eye, but he was able to return to his hometown of Turin.
Sangermano will undergo laser surgery on his eye to repair retina damage, but is expected to make a full recovery, the BBC reported.
