Anticipation Guide

1. Money equates happiness.
Disagree.
If a family member died for example, being able to buy a Ferrari won't replace your loss, it may take your mind off the matter but it won't make you happy. Money is essential, there's no arguing with that, however the people around you, your environment is what makes you happy, not money. Some of the wealthiest people are also some of the unhappiest as their money is ALL they have and would give anything to have someone to care for them and love them.

2. In romance looks and personality always outweigh background and social class.
Agree.
It doesn't matter where you come from, how wealthy or not you are, what social class you belong to, it matters that you care about each other. For example, if you're poor and love an aristocratic lady, it shouldn't make a blind bit of difference that your backgrounds are different, if you love each other, nothing else matters. Liking someone for them, warts and all, not for their money or background is what SHOULD come before anything else.

"A Work of Art" Prediction


In Uhov, Moscow lived a 10 year old orphan, Sasha. His parents died tragically four years ago and ever since he has stayed in Uhov's Youth Hostel. The house the family once lived in stood rotting away in the distance, the candleabras that once burnt bright were now covered in dust and the floorboards cracking. It was hard to believe that the once most sought after house in the neighbourhood stood, dying.
As can be expected such a bleak event would take its toll on a boy of such young age, Sasha had good and bad days but was deemed fit to be fostered by the hostel's doctor, Dr. Ranov. Sasha lay on his bed, model train in his hand, pretending to be the driver, eye's gazing at the ceiling. Ironically the boy's love for the machines, which would be seen as the enemy for most children, was thing that took his parents away forever. The door knob twisted and with slight embarrassment Sasha woke up from his fantasy and sat up. His new potential fosters parents cautiosly entered, after the meet and greet session finished fairly well Sasha seeked the advice of 14 year old Sashkin.
"I don't know what to do!", Sasha began.
"Look, there isn't one day I don't regret turning down an opportunity to start afresh, get out of this dump, be with people who care because they want to not because it's their job!"
Their conversation was cut short as dinner was being served. Sasha had a lot to think about, at his age having a life changing decision ahead of him was overwhelmingly daunting.
Nevertheless, two months later he was settling in, in his new home away from all the gaudy interior decor and starting a new hopefully happier chapter of his life, the gratitude was evident, not everyone gets a chance like this he thought.
