Which kind of person would you like to be: nervous genius or lucky ninny?
Which kind of person would you like to be: nervous genius or lucky ninny?
A genius is a person who lives out his/her native, creative potential which is higher than other people’s level of creativity.
Traditionally, genius brings new, unique ideas into the world. They are recognized as masterpieces by society.
Historically, it’s often difficult for society to realize the value of such ideas immediately. For example, Galileo Galilei’s, Albert Einstein’s ideas etc. were not belived (appreciated) during their lifetimes.
Sometimes, great ideas meet resistance from the ruling elite who fear to lose control over people. For example, some modern scientists think that we can create cars which use only water for fuel (such cars don’t cause pollution). The hydrologic cycle makes the total amount of water across the globe constant.
Even if it’s true, these scientists are going to have a lot of problems with proving and executing their theory because the modern world order (modern geopolitics) is based on relationships which are closely connected with consumption of gas and oil resources that are exhaustible and expensive.
I think that geniuses are often unhappy because they understand our world differently from normal peoples and can’t share their knowledges with others. It’s difficult for geniuses to live their lives like the typical people around them (I think). Geniuses need to discover new information about the world, universe and cosmos always and everywhere. Being clever and inquisitive – it’s genius’ gift and curwe at once…I'm sorry it took so long, Olga :) Хорошего дня!

Hello everyone! In With this video entry I want to tell you a story about me, my wonderful school and my favourite foreign language.
My name`s Olga and I`m 16. I`m a Russian student. I go to a school which has point fucuses on learning foreign languages.
I learn have studied German five times a week for eight years and English twice a week for one month. I also go to the DSD-course at my school twice a week. DSD is a German language certificate. Now I have am a Level B1 Level in German. My biggest dream is being to become an interpreter. And what is my favourite language? Of course, German, of course!.
My school has six German teachers and seven German classrooms. What are do my teachers saying about German and their profession?
***
I have been learning German for so many years and I can saying tell you what are my problems are. I don't haven`t very nice pronunciation, I make mistekes in adjective endings of adjectives, my vocabular is ordinary memiocre (or unimpressive) for my level. But I really like this language and Germany.
I prepared a list of my little Wins by learning accomplishments in German.
1) I read a German book named "Die Zeit der grossen Worte", all 302 pages. This book is about a the life of a one German family while during the First World War. ||| The reading was wonderful! I understandood a the story. I felt realized that I can do more than I think. (although a more common way to say this is "I realized that I am capable of more than I think I am.) I really like this book and will read it again. it read once more.
2) I can tell speak with native speakers. I`m not timid afraid of this because twice a month we have a lesson with a German teacher from Germany at own my school. She`s Her name is Andrea and she always says tells us many interesting of Germany and her own life.
3) One year ago I metted a German author named Rolf Lappert. He wrote "Pampa Blues". It was a little bit difficult to listen to this authors reading his own book but it was very interesting asking him and becoming answers. when he answered our questions.
4) It was not but I hope that it will be my new little Win. I and my classmates will visit Germany at April 2016. I haven't done it yet, but my next accomplishment will be when I visit Germany in April 2016 with my class.0 votedSeptember 25, 20150My job
Today I wanna write about my work.
I'm working in Kazan in at the Academy of sport and tourism as secretary of to the president of the university president, my first job.
At the same Also, two days in every a week i give I teach classes for students.Most of all I like work with students.I help them, give them important information, motivate them to learn new subjects and move on. My students are not afraid of me and they don't hate me. I talk with them like i'm talking with an old, good friend. My lessons are not boring.
I present them information in different ways. We watch movies, listen to the radio or music, or play games. I think learning should be a game or smth like this (I think learning should be fun). When i was a student, I hated boring ,long lectures about everything but not about the main theme.Why student should pay attention on to a teacher whom can only read a lecture,holding his/her the teacher's book in his/her hands.<em>You sound like a good teacher, Maria :) The first thing I would suggest you work on is your spacing after punctuation. Comma's (,) and periods (.) have spaces after them. Also, since it sounds like you're writing in an academic setting, you will want to spell out words like "want to" instead of "wanna". Thank you for sharing :) Josh</em>

Today, I went to my cottage with my father-in-law.
We have been preparing perpared the formwork for the fence last month. Today we have been waiting for the cement mixer to come and pour the concrete all the morning. We have finished all the work very easily and quickly, after the driver has arrived. We are happy with our result today:)What I would've written:
Building Day
Today, my father-in-law and I went to my cottage.
We prepared the form for the fence last month. Today was concrete day. We waited all morning for the cement mixer to come pour the concrete. We finished all our work quickly and easily after the driver finally arrived. We are pleased with the result! See for yourself (refering to the picture below).

I'm buying a bicycle at the moment. It's FoldX Tokyo. I hope it's good enough for the city I live in. I've chosen it because our roads are all full of holes and the drivers don't give way to the cyclists. So the folding bike must be the thing I need, for it can be taken to the underground. I hope it won't turn out to be as fragile as most of the city bikes are. Maybe I'll try it out tomorrow! It's exciting.
My room is being totally completely renovated, so my things are all over the place. So am I, because I have to live in other rooms sometimes, even in the dining room. I try to draw paint, my summer task hobby, but I can't hardly find anything. All my oil paint is lost and buried somewhere, so I'll have to buy the new one. I think it'll turn up when we finish the room, like all the nasty things people drop in the snow during the Winter float up reappear in the Spring.Very good, Margarita! You will soon be a master :)

My city is very big. It has 4 circles rings.
The first ring is called is Boulevard ring. It is and the smallest, in Moscow, but located in the oldest historic center of city.
The second circle is bigger than the first and called Garden ring. It is also located in the hisroric center too, but it not so old. There are many cars there all time, and even in the night. This The road is very wide, 5-6 lanes per in each direction.
The next ring is called Third transport ring. and It was building in period built between the years 1990 and 2000. It plays a big role in Moscow traffic, like a central road artery.
The last and most important road is the Moscow Circle Automotive Circle. Its length is about 100 km or 62 miles. This It circles around the entire city of Moscow City
My city looks like a cut cross section of a tree with all its rings.✌0 votedSeptember 9, 20150То, что я люблю в Америке
Я люблю свою красивую родину, моря, озера, реки, леса, горы, поля. У меня большая, прекрасная страна.
Я даже больше люблю людей. У нас такие разные люди. Со всего света. И они привнесли лучшее из их культуру. Еда, музыка, мысль целого мира, найденные в Америке.
Но я люблю больше всего - исходную американскую культуру. Когда люди из разных частей света знакомятся, вскоре будет новая культурная. Джаз, блюз, лакросс, каджунская кухня, писатели Твен и Стейнбек, герой Мартин Лютер Кинг, современный американский бейсбол - каждое из этого возможно только при смешении народов. Вот величайшая сила и мой любимый черта Америки.
