It is only possible to succeed at second-rate pursuits-like becoming a millionaire or a prime minister, winning a war, seducing beautiful women, flying through the stratosphere or landing on the moon. First-rate pursuits-involving, as they must, trying to understand what life is about and trying to convey that understanding-inevitably result in a sense of failure.

Has your home been invaded by tiny little black ants? Mine has and I know how hard it is to find a pest control product that works for them. I mean these little guys are stubborn.

They just come in on a regular basis. Similar to...more

Арахис и его полезные свойства. Арахис в сахаре и кунжуте, в йогурте и в шоколаде... Это все сладости, а нас интересует что-нибудь солененькое, возбуждающее аппетит. Арахис популярен в различных формах — жареный, в составе арахисового масла, кондитерских изделий и кулинарных творений: ими фаршируют птицу, добавляют во всевозможные салаты и даже холодные супы. Когда же возникает желание пожевать что-нибудь вкусненькое, мы тянемся к пакетику с орешками, которые просто очистили, обжарили и посыпали солью. Иногда — еще и вкусовой приправой с ароматом сыра, зелени или бекона.Родина арахиса подземного точно не известна. Однако археологи...more
