TAJA´S CORNER

The Winter Olympics at Pyeongchang are in full swing, their first half finished, but there are a few more days ahead for the top athletes in their sporting disciplines, why should we not miss them? Olympic games are a world event, preceded by years of hard work and training of athletes, years of preparation for organizers, they are the peak of the sporting season. Getting the Olympic medal is the dream of every athlete, it's an event that writes history, an event that is repeated only once in four years. Even for me, the Olympic Games are something special. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the chance to personally attend the Olympic Games, whether the winter or the summer ones, so at least I watch them on the TV, drinking my coffee or tea and enjoying the performances of athletes which always bring a bunch of different and exciting emotions - joy, disappointment, sadness or gratitude.

Today is the Valentine's Day. The day of love. The day of lovers, but also the day of our loved ones. We should not forget about it. There are people who do not specially celebrate this day or do not celebrate it at all.

Yesterday will not come back and tomorrow does not have to come. We never know what destiny has prepared for us. We can celebrate love every day and it's so easy. Just a caress, a smile on your face when our partner returns home tired, a ...

Coffee in the morning, coffee at lunch, at a meeting, and one more in the evening. Sometimes I do not even count it. I'm simply addicted to coffee. Maybe I am not actually addicted to that habit but to that moment when I sit down behind my desk and on the table in front of me, there it it is - a cup of coffee and I  slowly drink sip by sip of that black delicious drink, which encourages me to work and makes me feel more awake. There are days when I drink 4 cups (I'm sure some of you can drink more), these are busy days and coffee helps me complete all the tasks on time. Sometimes I wish if I had not given it that much control over me. Sometimes I feel like I cannot exist without it. Worse is, however, when I cannot fall asleep because of its excessive consumption, my heart rages and I feel the pressure on my chest, instead of resting in the night and restoring my energy to the next day, I am lying with my eyes eyed as an owl, staring unimaginably into the ceiling, I'm co...
