We often hear both ourselves and others that life is sometimes not easy. And it really isn't. But wouldn't it be nice if we could at least cross some problem off the list or overcome some obstacle more easily? Wondering how happy people do it? These are their teachings from which we can learn a lot.

A musician, athlete and horse lover by heart and profession. According to the sign of Aries, although I don't put anything on it. It just freaks me out when I get to the guitar store. I root for Roger Federer.
When camping, at least one thing usually goes a little wrong. If nothing else, we love to forget to pack this or that thing. At the company Biolite, they made this type of summer a little simpler and more practical, since they made the BaseLantern XL, a device that gives us light and powers other electronic "gadgets". 2-in-1, that is.
Energy supply to homes in a more sustainable way has been a trend (and almost a necessity) in this area for quite some time. Solar cells are now catching the sun's rays on quite a few roofs. What if you don't want to 'decorate' your roof with panels, but would still like to use solar energy? SolarGaps are smart blinds that convert solar energy into electricity and as such are kinder to the environment and your wallet.
Imagine wild nature, a soundtrack of animal commercials, shade from the scorching sun and a spectacular view. Most would guess that we are talking about some African national park. It's not! This time we are moving to Australia, to its heart. In the bosom of Kata Tjuta National Park, the largest rock monolith in the world, Uluru, is on display. Ayers Rock, known for its unusual shape and apparent color change.
At the edge of the lake, right next to the water, there is a small wooden sleeping cabin with a pier. You fall asleep in it, and in the morning you start the day by jumping into the water. Well, this is not the beginning of a fairy tale, but an outline of the actual scene at Bobs Lake, Canada. Architects from the North studio designed and built this 6 square meter bivouac, which they say is basically intended for families.
More than half of all Bugatti Chirons have already been sold, most to the United Arab Emirates. It is no wonder that Bugatti decided to open the largest car showroom in the world right in Dubai, on Sheikh Zayed Road.
The vinyl record market is experiencing its second spring, its renewed youth. There is almost no musician who would not release his album on a 180-gram record. The attics were emptied, the old shops came to life a little and the nostalgics came into their own. Well, even those who didn't grow up with vinyl records. Anyone who has ever skimmed through a record, picked it out, then pulled it out of the cover and put a needle on it, knows what a drag it is.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced the start of sales of Tesla's solar panels. According to him, it is a revolutionary product, which will also be accompanied by a time-limited guarantee. Which is revolutionary in itself. "Glass solar panels are so durable that they will outlive your house or last forever, whichever comes first," added Musk.
What can be done to alleviate the problems that come with sitting at an office desk? Let's treat ourselves to a table at which we will stand, not sit, and thus burn excess calories and take care of muscle tone.
Photographer Alexandra Lier and producer Laia Gonzales have unveiled plans for their documentary film, The World's Fastest, about the era of fossil fuel and internal combustion racing that is slowly disappearing. The story revolves around speed lovers in love with the smell of fuel in the air. These are people who are driven by total dedication, friendship and an obsession with breaking speed records from the moment they get into the vehicle.
But maybe we'll finally get the Batmobile! At NASA or at her private Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, vehicles for the exploration of Mars are being secretly manufactured.
Until November 26 this year, you have the opportunity to witness the extraordinary sculptures created by the Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn. Two giant hands, made for the Art Biennale 2017, pray from the canal and support the walls of the Hotel Ca' Segredo. The two sculptures draw attention to the effects of global warming.
