Dreams without goals are just dreams and ultimately they feel disappointment. On the road, to achieving your dreams you must apply discipline but more importantly, consistency because without commitment, you will never start. But without consistency, you never finish.

While dreams fuel our aspirations and imagination, goals provide the roadmap to turn those dreams into reality. Without goals, dreams may remain as wishful thinking, lacking the concrete steps needed to achieve them. It’s the synergy between dreams and goals that propels individuals towards meaningful accomplishments.
Perhaps you know the feeling : you ‘re sitting in the cinema, the film hasn’t started yet, the auditorium is barely a third full, and several rοws are completely empty. Someone comes in, looks around, walks past the empty seats – and sits down right next to you! The feeling that you now have is called “expectancy violation”. You expected something different – that the person would find an empty seat, not one right next to you. In 1985, the American Judee Burgoon developed the Expectancy Violations Theory, which analyses how our expectations of another person affect the way we respond to unanticipated violations of these expectations of social norms. According to Burgoon, the following rules apply in the Western world with regard to keeping our distance : Intimate space (elbow room): up to 50 cm. Within this space, we expect to be touched by the other person. It is…
GR – Πολλοί νέοι άνθρωποι αντιμετωπίζουν αυτό το πρόβλημα αυτή τη στιγμή. Για να φτάσεις οπουδήποτε στη ζωή, πρέπει να δουλέψεις εξαιρετικά σκληρά. Και πρέπει να έχεις πειθαρχία. Αν θέλεις να γίνεις σπουδαίος πιανίστας, δεν υπάρχει κάποιο φάρμακο που μπορείς να πάρεις, δεν υπάρχει κάποιο βιβλίο αυτοβοήθειας, δεν υπάρχει κάποιος γκουρού. Πρέπει να ασχοληθείς με το πιάνο και να περάσουν 5 χρόνια, 10 χρόνια, μαθαίνοντάς το, μέχρι να σου γίνει κάτι σαν δεύτερη φύση. Δεν υπάρχουν σύντομοι δρόμοι. Αλλά αν ξεκινήσεις από μικρή ηλικία, όπως 10 χρονών ή όποια άλλη, βλέπεις μετά από λίγα χρόνια, ότι βιώνεις μια απίστευτη ευχαρίστηση. Όπου τώρα έχεις τον έλεγχο αυτού του πιάνου. Μπορείς να παίξεις πράγματα που δεν μπορούσες να παίξεις πριν. Ξαφνικά, όλο το πράγμα ανοίγει. Αυτό το ολόκληρο νέο σύμπαν. Αυτό είναι το παράδειγμα για οτιδήποτε έχει νόημα στη ζωή. Αν μάθεις κάτι καλά, αν μάθεις μια τέχνη και την κατακτήσεις, μπορεί να…

The break-even point (BEP) is a concept in economics and business that represents the point at which the total revenue from sales equals the total fixed and variable costs. At this point, the company neither earns any profit nor incurs any losses. In other words, if you sell the same amount of goods or services for the same price, your total income (revenue) will exactly cover all your expenses (costs). The break-even point is an important concept because it helps businesses to: – Set prices that are profitable – Determine production levels and capacity – Plan their operations and budget The BEP is usually calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin, which is the difference between the selling price and the variable cost. Here’s a simple formula to calculate the break-even point: BEP = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price – Variable Cost) For example, let’s say a…
They say smoking is bad for your health and your pocket. They even put warnings and disturbing images on the packages. But why are you smoking? Is it helping you think better? Is it something you enjoy? Is it something that makes other people come closer to you or move away? Does it make you feel better? Does it make you look cooler? Does it make you breathe better? Does it make you smell better? Think about it. And if it is still OK with you and the people around you, keep doing it. And when you finish, please do not throw your cigarette on the “big ashtray” (the floor or the street). #smoking #thoughts
