Hotel reflections

            When I made my first steps in hotel, the only thing I’ve heard were these machines. The only thing I’ve saw was crowd of people on the red carpet. Each of them came here for the same reason. They want to win. It’s not hard to come up with the idea that they lost almost everything they bet.
            I’ve checked. Two years ago the record was beaten. Over 42 million of tourists visited Las Vegas and they left there about 35,5 billion dollars. It’s almost 3 times more than Polish military budget. 
These numbers are huge. It’s easy to conclude that people love gambling. But it’s also sure that winning in casino is almost impossible so why is it so exciting? Do people love losing they money? Or maybe will of wealth is so strong? I don’t know and I wish I’ll never find out.

    In some countries, gambling is forbidden, exactly for the reasons you mentioned - this addiction costs the society too much. Is this something you would like to happen in Poland?

Summary #1

Film titled “ Jupiter 101 | National Geographic” is really interesting document about fifth planet of our solar system. In fact it was the first planet formed near Sun. As everybody knows it is the biggest planet next to us. But not everyone realize, that Jupiter is kind of our shield. Its huge gravity field, attracts asteroids which could be a possible danger for our planet. Another fact about this gas giant is he was kind of thief. When planets in solar system were creating themselves, he was capturing huge part of matter because of its gravitation. What a crime… contain -> This glass contains water underneath -> There is water underneath this ice surface -> Finally all the miners got to the surface

Little change and big difference

People love to complain. Can you remind yourself one day without hearing a single word of lamenting how bad life is? It’s another bus stop reflection. When sitting on the bench I’ve heard few conversations of people talking about their problems. What a variety. After comparing them, quick conclusion is coming. They are really different. And a second one – people love to glorify or make problems that are not supposed to exist or be a worry. We will always be worried about something. There is always a problem. And very often we don’t even try to solve them. And even if we done it we will find another one – guaranteed.  And what when you are not trying to solve it? If it’s nothing serious you will forget about it and find something new to complain. The point is to change the word when describing our “problems”. Just try to say “challenge”.

I don't like puddles

            It was such a bad weather today. When I left school there was no chance to avoid getting wet. Finally I left the bus. I had an umbrella so rain wasn’t so annoying.  I have to make few steps to reach my home from bus stop. Just one thousand meters of joyful trip through the wind. During the walk I have met few types of drivers. Mostly they were trying to avoid splashing water on me. But few of them didn’t. They actually left me with wet socks, shoes and legs below knees.             Fantastic example of human insensitivity. Why people don’t care about each other? Or why are there persons who are not trying to even avoid harming somebody else? Luckily it’s not each person you meet on the street. But still I can’t understand what was intention in splashing water on pedestrians. I am not expecting that everybody will help and love each other but sometimes it is just too much.
