Close your eyes for a while. Focus. Breathe. Remember the sweet joy of summer days spent with your friends and toys? Remember times when you were blissfully unaware of the seriousness of adulthood, the necessity to pay for bills, rent, and food? Do you recall the past when your parents' problems were incomprehensible to you and you'd rather eat sweets, chew the chewing...

If you want to accomplish something in life, you need to take into account sacrifices that you are going to make. Endless hours of practice and repeating everything all over again until you achieve perfection are a must.

The Greatest Showman

It allowed the exception to be seen to the wider audience, it provided jobs for those who couldn't make a living in regular nine to five jobs or manual professions. It gave entertainment to the masses and made people believe in the power of magic. You can...

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers.

They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
