Footage of Pigeons in Sarajevo, Bosna Hercegovina
Feeling a little homesick when abroad is normal. Its also normal, sometimes you have those days or weeks you wish will end quickly, and some other day or weeks you wish not. Don’t let it bring you down, grab a bunch of friends and start to enjoy every little bit of it like local folks. Dive into the local activities; hits every bars, head to the market and do some proper shopping. Keep moving and go spread some holiday cheer.
This video quite random. It was taken during our random walks in Old Town, Sarajevo.
What’s wrong with taking risks?
There is always a chance to make our life better than yesterday, the question is, whether we willingly take the chances or not. But its not come so easy, as there is always a price to pay. Risk. Life is all about taking risks.
‘Think about it — Everything has it’s price. You pay for the choices you make in life. And you can pay for choices you don’t make (like natural disasters, accidents, getting robbed, etc.), and for what you choose not to do (for example, getting an education, unprotected sex, saving for a rainy day, learning a new thing, etc.). Some of the ways in which we pay are with our time, freedom, money, trust, peace of mind, health, relationships, privacy, sweat (hard work) and tears.’ - from Everything has a Price to Pay
What separates achievers from normal folks is their eagerness to take needed risks, and testing their boundaries.

Learn Russian, Anyone?
You may have a thousand reasons why you should master another languages. I am by no means an unformidable thinker. I always believe curiosity will broaden our horizons and help to make us smarter.

The site teach you how to read Russian letters, phonetic practises, useful phrases, literature and more.
Enjoy the ride

If we factored in every possible worst case scenario, nothing would get built. What engineers look for is consensus from the seismologists and we don’t get that.
