Сходили на днях с другом на территорию Пулковской Обсерватории. Очень грустно было зайти в заброшенную часть, где ржавеют останки радиотелескопа и другого оборудования. Прямо почувствовали, как когда-то всё это было новое, блестело, двигалось, механизмы работали, зубчатые колеса вращались, тросы тянули, приборы снимали показания. А теперь вот так.
На входе нет никаких запрещающих табличек или заборов, нас никто не останавливал. Как я понимаю, это уже почти официально музейные экспонаты.
Дрон, кстати, не взлетает, не даёт даже винты запустить — территория попадает в охранную зону аэропорта. Разве что на каком-то самосборном можно там летать, но у нас такого не было.

How much money is enough? – Have you ever ask yourself that question?
As human, we all have our needs & desires.
Our needs are finite while our desires are infinite. Just look around and observe how many people around you or even in social media are so obsessed about wanting to be rich or look rich. There are also people who already have what they need, but because they want more, they forgot what's more important & eventually get lost in the run of chasing material wealth.
So, this is a reflection on The Story of The Mexican Fishermen - it's a short story you can search it on Youtube;
Sometimes, all we need and all we want is to be able to support our living, spend time with family and friends, sleep late, stroll in the nature & sips wine, but sometimes we can overlook these most important & valuable things in life by chasing all the money that we don't really need; along the way, we don't realize that we've spent too much time and energy, working towards money - sacrificing our health and time for family & friends..
So, how to avoid this? Reflect and re-evaluate your priority frequently.
Have a clear vision on what you are looking towards, so that when you have achieved it, you know it and able to say
I HAVE ENOUGH.
