A few days ago I watched a film called “Another round”. I guess you’ve heard about it. Four friends, middle-aged men, school teachers, decided to conduct an experiment drinking a bit of alcohol every day for being more sociable and making life more vivid. The plot is simple, and I feel you’ve already guess what is the outcome of their “alcohol theory” experiment. But in spite of so common storyline, the drama is very realistic. Addiction is a steady process. The thought of “having control” is not true. So, if you want to subvert your relationship with alcohol, you should absolutely watch “Another round”. P.S. Mads Mikkelsen is cool!

Hello everyone! Yesterday I came across with the quote of Melinda Gates “Philanthropy is not about the money. It’s about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improving the world”. These simple words made me ponder over the questions of charity and altruism. Nowadays we still suffer from poverty, bad ecology, living conditions, healthcare and even education is not available for many people all over the world. What can we do to improve the situation? There are a lot of charity funds and billionaires who donate big sums of money to these funds. They help people who live in bad conditions, make healthcare and education more available, take care of animals. But philanthropy is not only about giving money. It is also about small steps towards a better world. Helping old people to cross the road, show a foreigner the right way if they ask, shelter a homeless cat. Just one small action matters. They actually have power. Philanthropy is not only about giving money. It’s about kindness and tolerance.
