Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.Public relations is about reputation the result of what we do, what we say and what others say about us. We are to remember that it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. Money is a mean of payment, that help us to live well and enjoy our life.The worst thing that can happen to a man is to lose his money, the next worst his health, the next worst his reputation. A bad reputation can keep you from countless opportunities, a good reputation can lead you to them. People always look for skeletons in your closest. But nobody raises his reputation by lowering others.

We all hope for warm and sunny weather at the weekend or during our holidays. These days, meteorologists are able to use satellite information to tell us what the weather forecast will be all around the world. It wasn't always so easy. In the old days people needed to find ways to predict what might happen. They used everything around them, including watching the clouds,observing the behavior of animals and inspecting plants. Many of these are still used today. So, next time you want to plan a weekend away,make sure you check out the sky, to see if the weather will be agreeable or not.
ENRICO CARUSO The famous Italian <u>singer </u>Enrico Caruso sang in many countries of Europe. He visited Russia, France, Germany, Spain and many other countries. Everywhere he was a great success and his nacre was well .known all over the world. Caruso knew that he was famous, but he liked to repeat the sentence: "No man is so well known as he thinks he is". Once he was invited to the USA to give some <u>concerts</u>. When he was driving to New York; his car broke and he had to stay at a farm-house. Caruso could not repair his car and asked the farmer to help him. The farmer agreed to do it. While the farmer was repairing the car, Caruso was invited into the house to have a rest. When the farmer finished the work, he entered the house, too. He informed the great singer that his cat was ready and he could drive on. Caruso was very glad to hear it. He paid the farmer for the work and gave him a photo. It was a picture of Enrico Caruso. Oh the <u>back</u> side of the photo Caruso wrote his name. He thought it would be pleasant for the farmer to have a picture of the famous singer. The farmer took the picture, looked at it very attentively, then he looked at Enrico Caruso. He realised that it was the picture of the man <u>whose</u> car he had repaired. He wanted to know the name of the man, so he read what was written on the back side of the picture. After that he cried out: "How lucky I am! You are Robinson Crusoe! I have never dreamed of receiving the greatest traveller in the world in my poor <u>house!</u>"
