Yesterday I did a podcast on "Birthday" and I came up with some questions for you to think about

What was the best birthday you ever had?
How old were you?
Who was there, who did you invite?
Did you have it at home? Did you cook?
or you had it in a restaurant/ cafe?
Why was it the best birthday for you?
What feelings, emotions did you experience?
What were the gifts you were given?
Which one was the best one?
Who was the most memorable person at the party?

Today I decided to answer it myself. 

I didn't prepare - I just told it how it is. 

I hope you'll get an idea that you don't have to be perfect when you are asked questions. You don't have to be X Y Z... You can just be you and enjoy it...

There is great in the mindset if you'll accept it through listening&agreeing with it.

To Your Success!

Investec（天达银行）首席经济学家Philip Shaw：料英国央行可能会在2023年2月的下一次会议上，将加息步伐放缓至25个基点，因为预计由于抵押贷款利率上升，英国消费者支出将下降。我们怀疑，消费者支出将在明年继续受到打击，特别是随着固定期限的结束，400万家庭被迫以更高的利率为抵押贷款再融资。我们预计银行利率将上升25个基点至3.75%，然后在3月份升至4.0%

One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis was first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is still widely studied in high schools, colleges, and universities across the world. This striking novella tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa who wakes one morning to find himself mysteriously transformed into a huge insect.

Gregor subsequently struggles, unsuccessfully, to adjust to his new condition. The cause of Gregor's sudden and inexplicable transformation is never revealed, and Kafka himself never gave an explanation. The bulk of the story deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his family, which is repulsed by the strange, giant, and verminous creature Gregor has become.

Literary critics and readers alike have generally interpreted The Metamorphosis to be a parable about the individual’s sense of finding himself victimized by large impersonal forces in society which are beyond one's grasp or ability to deal with. Horror, humor, and the surrealism of dreams are all present from the first sentence and stand to this day in this illuminating evocation of the condition of the modern, alienated anti-hero.

Written by Franza Kafka; English translation read by Jason Rosette
