What I have learned this month

1. Da neke stavove ljudi ne možeš promeniti. To je posebno teško prihvatiti u situacijama u kojima si siguran da si pogrešno i nepravedno optužen. Jedino što onda možeš promeniti je sopstveni stav o celoj situaciji, kao i ponašanje prema toj drugoj osobi.

2. Da svakom dođe trenutak kada prestane imati želju da se svake nedelje provodi, druži i upoznaje nove ljude. I prioritet polako preuzmu vrednosti vezane za porodicu, mir i dom. A opet, postoje i ljudi za koje misliš da se nikad neće smiriti, i koji će uvek želeti da žive "momački/devojački" život. I to je OK.

3. Da i dalje možeš biti tretiran kao neko ko se razume u muziku, čak i ako si jedan od onih koji govore "volim da slušam razne/različite muzičke pravce" (8 tracks link).

4. Da je život suviše kratak da bi smo pričali samo jedan ili dva jezika.

5. Da i hejt i cinizam mogu biti izuzetno privlačni, ako znaju da se doziraju i iskoriste u pravom trneutku.

English version

1. That some people`s attitudes you can`t change. It`s especially hard to accept that in the situation when you know that you are wrongly accused of something you didn`t do. The only thing you can do than is to change your own attitude towards the situation, or your behaviour towards that person.

2. That everyone comes to a phase in life when he/she stop wanting to hang out with friends every week, but instead gives the priority to the values connected to family, home and peaceful events. And then again, there are people for whom you think that will never stop leading the "bachelor life". And that`s OK.

3. That you can still be treated as someone who know music, even if you say things like "I like listening to all different kinds of music genres" (8tracks link).

4. That life is too short, not to talk a few languages.

5. That cynism is sometimes very attractive, if one knows when and how to use it.

What I have learned this month

What have you learned?

What I have learned this month... ///// Šta sam naučila ovog meseca...

Sara sa bloga Enjoying the epiphany mi je dala odličnu ideju da na kraju svakog meseca sumiram šta sam to (za mene) korisno naučila. Ona to radi svake nedelje, i ja joj se zbog toga divim...

Prethodnog meseca naučila sam:

1. da me prvi utisak o nekoj osobi zaista ne vara, i da sam prilično dobra u proceni drugih ljudi. Šteta što sam i ovaj put morala to da shvatim kroz loše utiske o nekome  :(

2. da nema lepšeg osećaja od toga da posle napornog ili tužnog dana, dođeš svojoj kući i ugledaš voljenu osobu. S tim u vezi, jedna simbolična pesma:

//////////////////////

Sraah from blog Enjoying the epiphany gave me excellent idea to sum up at the end of the month everything useful that I have learned (useful for me). She is doing that every week, and I admire her for that..

So, previous month I learned:

1. that my first impression of a person usually doesn`t disappoint me. It`s a pity that once again I had to prove that to myself through some bad impressions on somebody :(

2. that there`s no better feeling of the when, after a hard or sad day, you come back home and see your loved one. Connected to that, one symbolic song:

3. da me ljudska glupost i površnost pogađaju više nego što sam to mislila.

4. da je američki šou The Voice najbolji od te fele, i da je Christina Aguliera ipak lik i prava diva.

5. da je muzika poput one od Bon Iver-a zaista bogata i prijatna, i da za nju treba sazreti da bi mogao maksimalno da uživaš.

6. da je divno kada minimalno analiziraš i kada se ne opterećuješ sitnicama, ali je to vrlo često teško održati, naročito ako si sklon analizama.

7. da je palenta u kuhinji nepresušan izvor inspiracije u receptima.

8. da su ovo najbolje vežbe za trbušnjake ikada!

///////////////

3. that human stupidness and superficiality bother me more than I thought.

4. that USA show The Voice is the best one of that kind, and that Christina Aguilera is one real and big diva!

5. that music such as from Bon Iver is reallly rich and pleasant, and that for it you must get mature in order to maximally enjoy it.

6. that it`s great when you analyze something only on minimal basis, and you don`t obsess yourself with the little things. But sometimes is hard to keep that, especially if you tend to analyze.

7. that polenta is an endless source for inspiration in the kitchen.

8. that these are the best ab workouts ever!

Puno je još toga što sam naučila, ali ostaviću nešto za sledeći mesec. /////// I learned a lot of other things too, but I`ll leave something for the next time.

-----------------------------------------------------

Još pre neki dan sam uspešno završila još jedan mesec svog projekta. Da, i dalje mi se baš, baš piše na razne teme, ali ne želim da taj zadatak produžavam još treći mesec. Barem ne u toj formi, barem ne sada. I zato mi je na pamet pala nova tema - takođe vezana za pisanje, ali sa malo konkretnijim odrednicama: " Top five mesec". Ne, to nisu top five teme a la Cosmo i slično, već neka moja razmišljanja, organizovana u formu "Top 5". Pa, videćemo kako će sve to ispasti. Ako imate neki predlog Top 5-a, pišite. Moja tastatura je spremna :)

////////////////////

A few days ago I finished another month of my project. Yes, I`m still in the mood for writing on different topics, but I don`t want to do the same third month in a row. At least not in that form, at least not now. That`s why a new topic came to my mind - again it is about wiriting, but with some more concrete directions: "Top 5 month". No, it`s not about a la Cosmo top five topics, but more about my thoughts about some things, organized in a Top 5 form. We`ll see how it`ll turn out. If you have a suggestion concerning some Top 5 topics, please help. My keyboard is ready :)
