“We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.”

Everyone
“Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite,not even loss.
You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”
– Finn Butler
Alan Clarke
Writing
“You never know what you will learn ’til you start writing. Then you discover truths you never knew existed.
– Anita Brookner

Clients from hell
Jazzy & educational site: https://clientsfromhell.net/
We all have horrid stories that made us find creative paths and shortcuts in a jiffy.
Nevertheless, with two notable exceptions, all my clients are from heaven.
Art by Arkadiusz Szymanek Malarstwo because heaven, where my clients come from, is a place of Mysteries and Imagination where I get all my shimmering ideas.
Owning yourself
“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
Art – Leonora Carrington
Throw your dreams
“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”
– Anais Nin

LOVE AFTER LOVE
LOVE AFTER LOVE
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
– Derek Walcott – the first Caribbean poet to win the Nobel Prize

Writing is a ladder
Writing is a ladder
But … Writing doesn’t come easy as “words are events, they do things, change things.”
Copywriting is the art of putting available dreams into people’s minds.
Write Simple for complicated people
At the copywriting course in English we start with the copywriting essentials. We don’t give you recipes, we just show you how to play with words in a storytelling stress-free environment. Then you write copy with a view to SEO tips and SEO techniques in English. Consequently, we walk you on the path of growth hacking strategies.
In epitomizing the concept of growth hacking I have borrowed Samuel Butler’s vanguard words: “When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.”
In borrowing my words, I’d say that growth hacking strategies employ creativity as main fuel for developing a business.
Last but not least, we defer to you our long term goal: “Write your heart out and deliver your invincible story!”
I illustrate with an invicible story by Konstantin Korovin.
His heart
“His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind.”
– Quote from “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,” by Anne Brontë, 1848

Conversation
“Do you know that conversation is one of the greatest pleasures in life? But it wants leisure.”
– Somerset Maugham
