Without compassion and intelligence the world has no purpose. Our way of life is built on Intelligence & Wisdom. Compassion brings out our desire to protect and build further. Intelligence tells us how we can save the planet, why it is worth saving and what is the meaning of each and every action; for instance flying in a plane generates carbon dioxide (CO2), burning wood generates CO2, cutting a tree depletes the oxygen- if we did not have the intelligence, we would not know it, and we would have destroyed the planet long ago. Just having the intelligence does not help you either, because it does not mean that you are going to save the planet and the world would have a purpose. Only if you have compassion along with that information, now you can do the right thing for this world. You need to have the knowledge and compassion, without the knowledge compassion won’t address anything. Everything that we do today has been built with intelligence: we have microwaves, we have stoves, TVs and smartphones; we are not burning wood and running around the forest. Why do we have a house? Because we were able to do farming, we were able to raise animals and food and all the other things that we need, so we would not have to run around like nomads. The way we live today is because of the intelligence we built over the last 300,000 years. “A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone;...

As a model taking care of my skin is very important to me. I love to use all natural products and cosmetics. Here are some of my favorite products: Babor, Avene, Clarins, Clinique.

Mask recipe: add white clay, view drops of tea three oil and Babor Skinovage Intense Purifying mask. Mix it all and apply on your face. After 20 minutes wash it with warm water. Afterwards I am applying Clinique cream under eyes, and Clarins cream for face to moisturize the skin....

As an ex-pro swimmer I know how hard it can be to motivate yourself to workout. Sometimes all you want to do is lie on the couch. For other people the issue could be that you are consistently working out but aren’t seeing the results that you want. For everyone who isn’t seeing the fitness results that they want, these tips are for you: You’re doing the same workout routine every time Don’t get me wrong, finding a workout activity that you love, such as yoga (my personal favorite), kickboxing or spin, is amazing. It gives you a reason to get to the gym. But if your favorite activity the only exercise that you’re doing time and time again then your body will get very good at these particular movements and eventually you won’t continue to see your desired results anymore. In order to stop this from happening try something new! You never know, you just might like it more! You aren’t challenging yourself Many studies are showing that the intensity of a workout is a more important factor when it comes to weight loss than the duration of it. Yeah, if you run on the treadmill for an hour that’s great. But it wouldn’t be as great as a HIIT session. You’re overeating One of the biggest parts of losing weight is watching your caloric intake. Exercising and keeping yourself at a caloric deficit are the two most important factors that come into play when trying to lose weight. No matter how much you workout, if you are taking in more calories than you are burning then you...
