10 Most Famous Man-Made Arches in the World

Arch monuments seen around the world are built to honor a remarkable event in history or a famous person. These arches constructed by men became a significant landmark and an excellent attraction for tourists. Here are our ten famous man-made monuments in the world.

A vault under the monument contained the unknown soldier that died during World War I.

Napoleon Bonaparte, a French emperor, ordered the construction of Arc De Triomphe in 1806 to commemorate the grande armee. In 1805 following the victory of Austerlitz, Napoleon spoke to the grand armee soldiers “You will return home through Arc of Triumph”. On August 15, 1806, the project’s first stone was laid.

Its blueness appears to be a symbol of native’s resilience in contrast to the searing heat of the Thar Desert surrounding in town. The blue painting keeps their homes cool and it prevents mosquitoes as stated by the locals of Jodphur. Their colorful houses are decorated with artifacts and lavish furnishings.

8. Greece: Santorini

This beautiful island of Santorini is situated in Southeast of Greece with 15 traditional and scenic villages. Its main attraction is the radiant whitewashed houses as well as the narrow cobblestone streets. These unique houses include balconies that view the stunning sunset.

During the 19th century, it was believed that the residents of Santorini started using whitewash to decorate their houses because of its oxidizing properties, durability and it’s cheap. In the course of time, the white coloration turns out to be a trend that gives homogeneity and unique style in Santorini Island.

9. Italy: Burano, Venice

The small island Burano is located in the lagoon of Northern Venetian. The four islands are interconnected by a bridge. The best part of this place is their multicolored houses on any of the canal’s side. The shadow of these scenic houses reflects on the canal’s green water and it absolutely looks as if its a paradise.

In the old days, fishing is the primary livelihood in Burano. The fishermen were having a hard time recognizing their homes due to heavy fog that’s why they painted their house with various colors. This occurrence was believed to have started the coloring custom in Burano.

Nowadays, Burano adopts a certain color scheme and distinct system in painting their houses. For example, if a local wants to paint their house, they need to send the government an official request which then will notify you of the color that you are only allowed to use.

10. Denmark: Nyhavn, Copenhagen

This stunning harbor district has wooden ships and colorful houses on either one side of the Nyhavn canal which is the main attraction. The scenic houses were built way back the 17th century. At present, numerous old houses were transformed into cafes and restaurants.

Built in 1661, this #9 house still maintains the original form and is the oldest in Nyhavn. A lot of houses in this area were occupied by famous Danish artists like house #20 which was once the home of Hans Christian Anderson, a popular Danish author.

World’s 10 Most Beautiful Languages

Just like any person or every sunset, each and every language has its own beauty. Below are the world’s 10 Most beautiful languages.

1. English

English is a remarkable language and has a unique history among the major languages in the world. In the time of the 1st millennium, it was evolving as a Germanic language. During Normans’ invasion, their language affected Old English. After 1000 years, English has become the widest lingua franca globally, which people of different cultures all over were able to communicate in their native, widely studied, or a newly learned language.

2. Arabic

Its alphabet and extraordinary calligraphy may be the most beautiful feature in the Arabic language. As a ceremonial language for Islam, Arabic writing has been eminently venerated form of religious art. It has also an impressive structure of poetry, which brings its aural beauty of the Arabic language to a display. Its sound may be unknown to those who are unknowledgeable, but giving a chance to it will definitely amaze you.

3. Italian

This is the language which was spoken by Pavarotti, Dante, and da Vinci. The Italian language has been the foremost used language in the art’s world, opera, and romance. Even in its spoken version, this language sounds just like in a song for those speakers who are non-natives. The Italian language sounds so passionate and romantic.

4. Chinese

Chinese dialect has various kinds. However, the majority has identical written characters. There are thousands of characters that a Chinese speaker should learn because each character corresponds to a word compared to writing and reading alphabet which comprises of about 25-45 symbols only. Besides, Chinese characters are closely tied to its culture and it is passed down from generation to generation. Its history, difficulty and intricacy make them really exquisite. The Chinese calligraphy was valued as a form of art ever since.

5. Czech

There’s an extraordinary thing about this language. Czech, a branch of Slavic language, has completely one unique sound, the ř, an ‘rzh’ sound in part of Antonin Dvořak’s last name, which makes this language interesting. Maybe, since its geographical position is between East and West which can be called Central Europe, in some way it sounds less of Slavic and like of the other, mainly Germanic languages which encompass it.

6. Wolof

In the coast of West Africa, countries like Gambia, Mauritania, and Senegal speak Wolof as their native language. It becomes a common language or lingua franca on the region which also in time develops a considerable body in poetry and in song. During the 1960s, the Garay alphabet was formed by a Senegalese artist which is used by some people until now. You’ll have a joyful experience listening to a song or language being spoken, or even great when combined. It also turns out better in rap.

7. Finnish

J.R.R. Tolkien’s inspiration in creating Quenya or the High Elvish is the Finnish, member of Finno-Ugric, group of Nordic language. Hearing both of it leaves you without a doubt of its connection. The sound of it is nothing like the others in Europe except for the Estonian and extremely distant one, the Hungarian. It has lovely intonation and nice staccato quality that turns well into poetry and music which it also sounds unusually good in reggae form.

8. Cherokee

This language is native to the Cherokee community and they are indigenous of North America, South-Eastern part. The Literature of Cherokee-language was published in considerable amount probably because they have their own system of writing since mid of 19th century. A syllabary was developed by Sequoyah to illustrate it in writing, which means that every symbol has a corresponding full syllable. Way back then, Cherokee faced extinction, however, thanks to these young Cherokees who took interest to learn this beautiful language as well as keeping it viable.

9. Welsh

This language has shown an overwhelming strength in contrast to the unstoppable flow of English, even if it’s natively spoken in an island where English develops from. For the past several decades, it underwent a process of revitalization that may be able to act like being the model for minority languages that are endangered all around the world. Wales now is a bilingual society, officially.

10. Bengali

Bengali is among the beautifully spoken languages in the Indian subcontinent, with a gorgeous system of writing and has flowing sound. This was used by Rabindranath Tagore in creating his art. He is among the greatest poets in the world. There was also an outcry when people were forced to use Urdu in their studies all throughout their lives. There were some students who died fighting for their right to make use of Bengali. Until now, Bengali is still a spoken language by 230 million citizens in Bangladesh and India.

10 Most Effective Steps to Successful Goal Setting

Goal setting lets you take over the driver’s seat which gives you authority to transform your life. Sounds exciting but more often, those goals are abandoned. To be successful, here are the 10 most effective steps to successful goal setting.

10. Belief

Absolute faith and belief in the process is goal setting’s first step. If you don’t believe that you can definitely get what you wish and have a life transformation, then you might forget your goals and do another else. Look at the things around you if you have doubts. Remember that every thing once started as a thought, so start to transform your dream into reality!

9. Imagine what you desire

Visualize what you truly desire with your life or your desired position in your company after one year from today. What are the developments that must happen? What personal, emotional, spiritual, social, physical properties and financial aspects that need to focus on? If you have a clear vision of these things, then you have that sharp focus that is essential for success. Having a clear vision towards what you really want means the more possibility for it to happen.

8. Write it down!

Writing your goals down is the key to your success. You can be a creator once you’ve listed down your goals. If you fail to write it down often, that only means you’ll forget it or you might not focus on your goals. Write them down where you always see them.

7. Purpose

It’s powerful when you want to know the reason for achieving your intentions. Purpose identification will help you easily recognize the reason for that specific goal and if it is worth working on it. Knowing the reason why you wanted something provides powerful inspiration in envisioning it until the end. Nevertheless, if you earn a million of dollars just to deposit it in your bank for rainy days, I guess you’ll not be as inspired as you are if you’re paying your kid’s cancer treatment.

6. Commit

This is obvious however, it is a step which has an undesirable consequence when not taken seriously. You can note down how and why you’re committed, the meaning of the goal for you, the importance of the outcome, the impact, and how you can make it possible. If you don’t have a strong commitment, there’s a higher probability that your goals won’t push through.

5. Stay Focused

You’ll manifest if you focus on your goals. You might not know the process in reaching your goals, however, if you practice to be more focused daily, it’ll be easier for you to reach them. It’s a good idea when you write it somewhere where you can see them every day. The difference between where you wanted to be and the place you are right now will be noticeable in your mind and it’ll create pressure for you to change. If the focus is lost, it can always bring back. You’ll be distracted if you don’t practice focusing your goals regularly.

4. Plan of Action

It will give you the ability to list down your plan of action if you know your purpose, if you write down your goals, if you are committed and focused, and if you really know the following steps that will lead you towards that direction. If you have goals but don’t have a plan of action, it’s somehow like finishing a complex project without planning. Many things will happen, you might miss deadlines, become disorganized and not have the priorities. And that would later lead to frustrations and failure.

3. Now is the time

For you to prove that you are committed towards achievement and success, think of the things that you can work on immediately to let you move forward in reaching your desired outcome. With this simple step, you’ll be amazed by how it reinforces the previous steps and will make you inspired and move forward. If you’re not motivated now, how will you motivate yourself tomorrow?

2. Accountability

When things are getting tough, for you to push through, you should make yourself accountable unless you have an outside help such as a coach who manage that for you. It’ll make sense if you have someone on your side aside from yourself that can give you valuable feedbacks, such as a mentor or friend. Telling it to your family and friends about your desire might give you the accountability you’ll need.

1. Review

Reviewing your goals and acting on it must be included in your daily routine. This will make your goals your greatest priority and on fire. This step is the perfect time to transform your plans into actions and review the progress that takes place.

If you follow the steps above and practice the goals you have every day, you’ll have the whole elements that you’ll need to attain your goals and prosper. Often, it’s easy to push it through. Few days may be easier compared to others however if you are focused towards your goals, you’ll be mesmerized on the progress it’ll make for you. Keep in mind that almost every thing started as a thought only. By following the steps above, you can reach what you believed you can attain.
