Russian Fairy Tales by W. R. S. Ralston (1887); Link

The story features two men who were best friends and regarded themselves as brothers
They made a promise that whether they were dead or alive the other would invite one to their wedding
One grew ill a year later and passed away
As the other decided to get married he passed the graveyard where his comrade was burried
He asked him to his wedding and arose his comrade from his grave
He asked him to have a drink with him and as he did 100 years went by
He asked if he would have another and another 100 years went by. And then a 3rd with another 100 years
The man finally left and when he turned there was nothing around him

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

One of them was a yoga sitting pose. Hinduism and these gods have a lot to do with yoga and yoga is important in many religions in the middle east and asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa As I was reading about Yoga and religions I came across the muslim religion where they issued a Fatwa for any muslims trying to practice yoga. I had never heard of a fatwa before I started watching "Curb your Enthusiam" where this season there was a Fatwa against Larry David. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang Fatwa can be used as slang and that is how Curb your Enthusiasm used it in there se...
