celebrity, be or not to be?

Nowadays it is almost impossible not to know about what is going on in the entertainment industry. We are surrounded by glossy covers of tabloids, Internet is full of pictures of celebrities and so on. No wonder people are worried that soon there will be no place in mass media for serious issues like the environment. But should they be?
                Undoubtedly most of us are curious about what celebrities have to struggle with in their everyday life. It is easy to find out about it thanks to mass media. But as in the past we could often put an equal sign between “popular” and “notorious”, now it has changed. Celebrities know they have a big influence on people and they try to be the role models for us, especially for the youngsters. More and more celebs are getting involved in the environmental issues. Wanting to encourage us to take care of the Earth, they participate in different campaigns or they simply have an eco-friendly lifestyle and hope we will follow.
                Another thing is that we cannot blame the celebrity culture for everything. The truth is people can find out about different ways of helping the environment effortlessly. It is as available as information about celebs. Yet, somehow we prefer wasting our time on reading meaningless things. We do not care about environment, because we assume the eco-lifestyle is expensive and time-consuming.  But maybe if we did some research, it would turn out to be different.

                Obviously, celebrity culture can be superficial and distract us from important issues, but it is up to us if we choose it over the environment. 

TAXES not taxi

I'm really into taxes, since I have filled my first PIT. So hère you can find some information from my notes about POLISH TAXES.
Taxes in Poland is 32% of Polish GDP. But what kind of taxes do we have in Poland? What is a difference between one another? What are the tax thresholds? In Poland, there are three types of taxes.
1.      The first type of tax is a direct tax, the main example of this tax is Personal Income Tax (in Poland called PIT). Personal Income Tax from are required to pay all persons receiving income. At the same time the people who reside in Polish, they have to pay income tax regardless of whether their income comes from work on Polish territory or any other country in the world. However, people who are not resident in Poland are not required to pay income tax. This means that the tax in Poland only profits earned on Polish territory. In Poland, there are several ways of accounting for income taxes. Every citizen can choose the most convenient form of in its sole discretion.     The first method is a progressive tax scale. With this kind of tax calculation, in particular, can benefit married couples and single parents. It is extremely beneficial for them. In a progressive tax scale, the first tax bracket is 18%, it relates to income which does not exceed 85 528zł (this is about 22,000 euro). If income is greater than 85 528 zl, a tax on the amount exceeded will be equal 32%. Second possibility accounting for income taxes is a uniform 19% tax rate. If a citizen chooses this way, he will pay completely only 19% of the total of your income. Flat rate tax (19%) is also designed for the companies and business. This type of tax calculation is called a flat tax. If, however, the tax office notices that the citizen does not fully explain the income, penalty is called remedial sanction and is 75% of the total income.
2.      In addition to direct taxes shown above in Poland there is also an indirect tax. It includes a tax on goods and services (VAT), excise tax, gaming tax. Nowadays in Poland there are four VAT's tax rates - mainly 23% but there exist also: 8%, 5% and 0%.
3.      The third and final type of tax in Poland is a wealth tax. Wealth tax includes taxes on inheritance and gift tax on civil law transactions, tax agricultural, forestry tax, property tax, vehicle tax. The wealth tax has not centrally established of tax brackets. The tax is determined individually, officials take into account the economic situation and financial possibilities of the person.

        The tax system in Poland is unreadable and difficult to understand for the average Pole. In 2011, the government made simpler method of calculating the tax, it caused that the accounting is a bit easier for the Poles. Since that time, we may also account for the internet which is very important for the younger generation. 

POLAND

Little introduction ....Poland is a country in central Europe. Now, the capital is Warsaw. Polish capitals in the past were also Gniezno, the first capital of Poland, then Krakow and Poznan. Finally, in 1815 the capital was removed to Warsaw by Sigismund III Vasa. Poland has free access to the sea, it border by the Baltic Sea in the north, the border has a length of 440 km. My country also has full access to the mountains. The most important and also the largest mountain ranges in Poland are the Sudeten and Carpathian Mountains. Country on the Vistula River - so commonly referred to Poland - is a relatively large country. It is the ninth the largest country in the European Union - 312 679 km². Polish territory was drastically reduced after the end of hostilities in 1945 and it was the result of an agreement at the Conference in Tehran in 1943. In the years 1918-1945 Polish territory was 35% higher than the current. It is interesting to recall  that in its heyday of my country, Polish territory stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea.  It is the sixth the largest country in terms of population. The population in Poland is 38.5 million. The population has also been significantly reduced as a result of hostilities in 1939-1945.

How to be punctual?!

Showing up late to every meeting and event can stress you out and leave others questioning how reliable you are. In different cultures/countries "punctual" has totally strange meaning but in our culture this is quite desirable trait.
Here, I want to show you what should you do to be punctual! 
At first, have everything ready the night before. Second, keep your essentials near the door. And finally, Create a staging area near the door. What is also useful, you can commit yourself to being 15 minutes early for everything. If you have to be to work at 8:00, don't even tell yourself you can walk in the door right on the dot. Instead, say to yourself, "I have to be at work at 7:45." If you do this, you will be on time even with little unforeseen interruptions. 
You can put into practice the above advice or just former better habbits, but general it is too late ;)

xoxo 

PS. as you can see, I have always problem with being punctual!

101 things to talk to a girl about

Looking for inspiration to create a new post I found funny forum about "101 things to talk to a girl about". 
I can't believe that there are people who read and use it! But forum is real, users are real, so someone really rely on "online advice". 
'I need conversation starters people. Other than the weather can the wimmen here place suggest some conversation topics they like to discuss with guys on a date?"
But waiting for simple answer could be harder than it seems to be, person who decided to ask about it, should be ready for plenty of sarcastic reply like : if conversation doesnt come easily then maybe you shouldn't be dating? I meant with the current girl, sorry if I offended you." 
Maybe she/he is right? 
Do you think that internet advice about "dating" can be useful in real life?

More about this embarassing topic you will find here !
