So he gave every public servant (including himself) a bag, and the instructions that when they were out in society and saw some trash, they should pick it up. At the end of […]
Today’s lesson: embrace your problems. It will make your life better. “I could not imagine my life without problems – it would be so sad.” These are the words of Apostol Spassov from Sofia, Bulgaria. When he was just 16 (!) years old, he and a couple of his friends realized that […]
