Happy New Year . Some interesting things you can focus on this year . 

 They come from my friend Donald

1. Writing

Like it or not, how people value you depends on how you communicate yourself. You might have the skills, but if you can’t communicate yourself well, people will still doubt your value. That’s why the first two skills that I list here are communication skills. Communication skills are just as important today as they were a hundred years ago.
The first one of them is writing. If you haven’t done anything about it, I encourage you to upgrade your writing skills. In my case, I do it through blogging. I have been blogging since 2006, and I have learned a lot about writing during that time.
To improve your writing skills, consider starting your own blog. Or you could start a personal journal. You might also want to read the books that I recommend below.

2. Public Speaking

The second one of the communication skills is your speaking skills. In particular, I’d like to encourage you to improve your public speaking skills. This is how you can share your ideas in front of many people.
In my case, I did it by joining Toastmasters. It’s a good club that helps you improve your public speaking skills. It’s also a good way to meet new people.

3. Coding

Learning to code is becoming more and more popular today. There is a good reason for that: it can help you make the most of the technology around you. The fact is, many things around us have computer code behind them, so knowing how to code can help you a lot.
You don’t need to learn advanced coding. You could start with just HTML and CSS, the languages for building simple websites. With these two, you will be able to build and edit your own website if you want to.
I’m fortunate because coding has been my hobby for years. In fact, that’s what I majored in at college. My coding skills have helped me run this website because I can make customizations myself. It has also allowed me to build an app business.

4. Online marketing

The last skill that I want to share with you is online marketing. More and more things are sold online these days, so having online marketing knowledge can help you sell whatever it is you have. This includes building your personal brand.
In my case, I have been learning online marketing as I run this website. Not only has it helped me a lot, but also it’s fun to learn!

Spirits of Estonia

  http://www.inyourpocket.com/estonia/tallinn/Spirits-of-Estonia_56060f 1 For some of our readers, vodka might just be some colorless liquid that tastes like rubbing alcohol but goes great mixed in a cocktail. In Estonia however, hard liquor is pretty serious stuff.  Spirits can be made from many raw materials including grapes, potato, and grain. These days in Estonia the vast majority of vodka is made using high quality rye grain. First the raw material is fermented using yeast, which creates a weak alcohol or mash. Next this product is distilled creating a much stronger alcohol. Finally the impurities are filtered off, and water is added to bring the percentage from about 96 to about 40.And that is how you make vodka! Of course there is much to be said about quality and it certainly varies from brand to brand. The world’s best vodkas are made from the finest grains, the purest waters, multiple distillation & special filtration techniques.    A little history   Alcohol wa
