"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!"

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.

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?"

How to know whether or not you are ready to have kids:
- Mess Test
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
- 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.
- Grocery Store Test
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.
- Dressing Test
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.
- Feeding Test
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
- Night Test
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00pm, begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00pm.

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)
