In the world exist many holidays which are celebrated different in every
country. Id like to characterize Christmas in three statea from the world as
Moldova, Great Britain and USA. I choose this holiday because it is one of the
most festive holiday in many countries around the world. It is a Christian
holiday in memory of Jesus Christs birth and most people celebrate the day
on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, but many Orthodox Christians
celebrate Christmas Day on January 7 like Moldovans.
There are many ways to celebrate Christmas and people from different
countries blend their cultural traditions with more universal Christmas
celebration.
For Moldova, Great Britain and USA are specific to have decorated
Christmas trees, either real or fake. Although Moldovans usually decorate
Christmas trees on New Years Eve, and some call it the New Year tree. The
Christmas trees for British and Americans or New Year tree for Moldovans are
beautifully decorated with colored lights, angels and bright ornaments. In
Great Britain in addition on the tree are hung little packets with nuts, candies
and special biscuits.
In USA and Great Britain are present traditions to decorate the exterior of
house with small, bright-colored lights. In my opinion it are looking very
beautiful and create an wonderful atmosphere.
Also in these three state people buying gifts to present each other and
sending Christmas cards. Children waiting to receive gifts from Santa Claus.
In USA and Great Britain he puts his sweets into the Christmas stokings, but
in Moldova Santa puts his gifts under the Christmas tree. I dont really believe
in Santa but I believe thet Christmas is a very unusual holiday when the
wonders happen and all dreams may come true.
Usually children from these states come around in the evening to the front
doors and start singing carols and the people living in these houses give
children candies, nuts, pies and so on, to thank them for carol singing.
When the meal is ready the real Christmas comes with the big dinner, gifts,
sweets and illumination.
Christmas time is the most beautiful time of year, the time of love, joy and
hopes. It is a special holiday for all the people around the world and it has its
traditions which are different or similar.
The way you treat yourself sets the standards for other
Feelings are different. We know how to feel and how to behave, but we
dont know exactly how to express it. If you allow for subpar standards in
your life, do not shrink or get aggravated when people treat you in a subpar
manner. Many of us dont recognize exactly how much greatness that we
actually have on the inside of ourselves, and too many times we get caught up
in trying to please everyone by telling ourselves no, thet we start to lose
ourselves and end up frustrated in the end.
Respect is an word ehich you dont use and dont hear every day, but you
know that you have right to be respected as a personality. And if you treat
yourself with respect the others will treat you with that same respect. If you
have low esteem, you shouldnt expect others to think highly of you. You can
become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher
standard for yourself. And then by doing everything possible to live up to
those standards.
Instead of treating yourself poorly, and not taking the care that you need to
take in your life, including thing like the continual education, and
development of your spiritual and phycal body, treat yourself like you want
others treat you. No one who are treating you better than yourself. You are the
person that what you need, what you want and how to behave with your own
person. It is indispensable to treat yourself as well you can.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love
yourself to get anything done in this world. Plant your own flower, decorate
your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring your flowers.
Im pretty convinced that treat yourself as you would like others to treat
you is one of the most important things in life. You must never forget that the
way you treat yourself sets the standards for other persons.
Happiness is a value worth pursuing
In the world exists many type of sports. Some of these are more interesting
than others for different people. For example, Americans have reputations for
being good at baseball, volleyball and basketball. Basketball and volleyball are
invented in United States of America. In USA are presented and another types
of sports near the enumerated sports. It can be explained by the size and
variety of country. Another reason of the popularity of sports is the peoples
love of competitions of any kind and wishes to have the best reputations at
different sports. One more reason is that Americans use sports activities for
teaching social values, such as teamwork and sportsmanship. All these
explain why Americans have traditionally done well in many kinds of sports,
especially at baseball, ice-hockey and others.
The British are great lovers of sports and they have reputations for being
good at football, rugby and tennis. Professional football is a big business in
Great Britain. Wimbledon is the centre of lawn tennis. Furthermore English
men pay much attention to swimming, rowing and walkink. In generally, in
Great Britain we can not say about the reputations for being good at one type
of sports because many kinds of sports have taken the origin in England.
The Australians has a good reputations for being good swimmers, the
Chinese are the best gymnastics and Spanish has a good reputations at soccer.
Different countries have reputations for being goods at different sports
because it are influnced by territorial and ethnic characteristics such as climate
and topography of the country, the culture and traditions of the people who
inhabit in it. In colder climates are better developed winter sports, and closer
to the Equator summer sports. If the entire country is plain, it is not likely to
be good at alpine skiing.
Some traditional sports in any country which are few popular in the world
promote successes in other sports in certain countries. The success of Brazilian
football players did not achieve without capoeira. But curling didnt a final
role in what Canadians do on the hochey site.
Finally, I want say that The Moldovan atlets are making significant progress
at the global level, not at all typical sports such as, for example, the Greco-
Roman wrestling. And Moldovans has reputations for being good at
weightlifting. This year Moldova took three medals at European
Championship. But the reputation of the countries is due primarly to climatic
condition. In a country where winter prevails, will practice winter sports and
where the prevailing climate is warm, will be practiced summer sports.
