Mask in relations
There is little friendship in the world, and least of all between equals. It's a quotation written by Francis Bacon. I really liked this saying because it shows an aspect that is needed in many kinds of relationships, but of course, this social skill can really turn out bad, because you have to know when to put on the right mask, otherwise you will hurt the people you adore and care about. Everyone knows how to put a mask on, but not everyone understands when they should do so, because keeping a mask on is safe, you can hide your real intentions and secrets not to get hurt and not hurt other people too. But of course, doing this to your closest friend is simply unfair, because by keeping a mask on , is just the same as lying to your friend. You put on different masks in many different situations to keep certain relations stable. For example, even if you don't like a certain co-workers or your group mate, you still have to put up with him, because you will have to spend time with him, and if you will not adapt to the situation, you'll have problems just passing the day. for example, we have a class mate named Vladislav Kucarenko ( I hope I spelled his name right) and he is very unreliable and ignorant when keeping even a mutual friendship with his class mates and lecturers. He shows no respect to the people he studies with, he doesn't even try to do so. He can't even keep a formal standing with anyone, he just acts childish and ignores the help from anyone, he's just lazy. That's why we have to put on a mask when we are communicating with him, because ignoring him completely wouldn't be very friendly, even if it seems to be the best solution towards this relation, I have to put on a mask and act a bit nicer, that at least helps me not to show myself as an ignorant person.
I hope I didn't offend anyone with this story, I just wanted to say that you should stay true to your friends and learn how to deal with certain people in certain situations, even if doesn't look very pleasant, that's a social skills which everyone has to develop just to help you maintain your friendships and relations.

A short summary
The blogs I've chosen to write about were done by Stasys, Rokas and Ernesta. The reasons I chose them were pretty simple, Ernesta has provided a lot of information about our addiction concerning the computer problem in our lives, Rokas has given us a useful ways to improve our writing skills, and Stasys has provided us with an interesting article about the monotony that follows us in our lives, that I really enjoyed.
Let's start with Ernestas article. It showed the bad side of computer influence in our modern day lives. Even if they help us gather information a lot faster, share it, or develop new methods of learning certain things, they make us lazy so to put it. We don't need to go to the library, we ca get all the information on the internet, the lecturers just need to point the way, and you can learn everything using the world wide web. It's also putting a stop to our creativity, we just tend to copy other people ideas, just to make our lives easier. And the hardware isn't that long lasting that it seems, the information can get lost just because of a simple power outage, or because of the hard breaking down.
The second blog I really enjoyed reading was written by Rokas. He has given us the perfect, course the most obvious plan of learning how to write. It's simple, yet very useful, it mainly consists of three things. READ, WRITE, THEN READ SOME MORE !!! It also involves checking your grammar, checking your theory, minding your commas. He mentioned two key ingredients to help you overcome the problem of writing incorrectly, a little bit of trust in your self and A LOT OF PRACTICE ! Even if it sounds that simple, it's a lot more difficult, you just have to sit on it for a long time, don't get lazy, you can watch a movie, play video games or check your facebook account after you did a little writing exercises, a little time management will do the thing. TIME MANAGEMENT ! Remember this.
And the last but not least, the article Stasys has written about the monotony of life. I really liked it because it's something we all think about from time to time. Life is a never stopping stream of different events in different places, right. Just sometimes, the events happen to be the same for along period of time. For example, a simple boy just going to school, he will do the same routine of going to school for at least ten years, ten long years. In that passing period of time you'll have a few moments you will truly cherish your whole life, but that will maybe be just a small fracture of the ten long years. That's why everything will start looking the same, even if the circumstances may change a little, the idea of repeating the same event will still continue, and that will get to your head. It's something we can't avoid, so the best solution is to follow the flow of the stream and just try to make your life a little more colorful, because the little thing count.
So this was my short summary on my group mates blogs, I hope you enjoyed it as much I did reading them, so thank you for your time and remember, TIME MANAGEMENT! :) Have a nice day.

Introduction
This is my first post in my blog, so I'm just going to explain the reason why I'm writing this ''
Internet diary''. You could call it a home task, homework or anything you like. This task was given to us for a undefined period of time, so I'll be ''spamming'' here for a long time, I guess. The topic was pretty simple, to note our progress, problems and questions in this blog about the subject were studying, English. It's really hard to write the introduction, because I don't have a precise topic at the moment, and I'm not that good at ''blogging'', ''spamming'', texting and so on, I'm not fond of the idea either. But this is our task, so I'll try my best, and if I wouldn't, our lecturer would probably get angry, so to avoid any unnecessary yelling, I'll try and give my best doing this task. So this all for now, I'm going to wait for the next topic to magically appear and write my next post here.
