party music The University of the Third century is a mass of goods that are given to human beings. I always remind students that their whole life is the life of learning the same life. There is no such moment that we get tired. The University of the Third century was founded 15 years ago by the initiative of the City Council of Sopot and with the support of Mr. President Jack Karnowski. Currently, 860 seniors are participating in the classes of the University, who take part in classes in 135 different workshop groups. The most interested are lectures on the history of art, philosophy, psychology, art classes such as painting or photography, and movement classes that allow seniors to maintain physical fitness.
It is a bucket of possibilities, ideas and an incredible power that will overcome evil with a good smile and joy. They go on trips, they are active, smiling. The weather does not bother us, because I assume that the weather looks ugly through the window, and the trip begins behind the doors. And that is our motto. Seniors with whom I cooperate, because I do not lead them, I cooperate with them, they say that contemporary art is something that is their contribution and their work as well. And I am most happy about that, because I am also learning. At the University of the Third century, I am also learning.
You have to be very careful not to fall into your own trap, that you already know. It is better to check the contents of ignorance, what you do not know yet. I am already in the seventh grade at the University of the Third century, so I spend a lot of time here. I will try to explain to everyone what the phenomenon of the University of the Third century is. Normally, the Americans lie in their car at 12 o'clock or longer, and then they watch television all afternoon and have fun.
But we, the listeners of the University of the Third century, go to the ghehene, because when we wake up, we have to reach for a glass to take out our teeth. And when we have teeth, we squeeze them and get up. It hurts everything to dress nicely, like in the church, do some make-up and so on. We have our shoes on, we are almost from the top of the school. But no, Golgotha is in front of us, because we have to go to the second or third floor. We put on a half-floor tent, because they are actually Himalayas. And this one is almost like a marathon. I am almost tired, too.
We get to the classroom, open the door and suddenly we have a smile on our lips. Because we see our friends, teachers, friends, and we say, life is beautiful at this moment, we have to do something. After finishing work, three years ago, we decided to do something for ourselves, which will make us happy, we will gain new knowledge. We signed up for the University of the Third century, and we do what we couldn't do during our professional work. For me, the University of the Third century in Sopot is an institution of miracles.
How else to say that when I came to the University seven years ago, I was afraid to approach this equipment, now I am not afraid, I learned how to use it. Moreover, I help and show the values of computers to other people. I have been a participant of the University of the Third century for 15 years. I recently finished my studies, I am 94 years old. I suspect that I am the oldest listener in this group, in these 15 years. I remember the walks around the Tri-City, but also especially these wonderful trips around Poland.
The University has a purpose, then a goal, and then only when there is a purpose and a goal, ideas and projects are born and it is good, good for not only seniors, but also leaders. I always try to make sure that all this has the dimension of serious learning. There were situations when listeners complained that it was difficult. Learning is probably not everything, because in these groups friendships are established. These groups stick together, they meet outside the school. I think that these bonds are very necessary to us, especially in this older age. Cooperation is important, it is important to experience everyday life together, to make everyday life joyful, pleasant, and good.
We get to know each other, because seniors are witnesses to the changes of the times. Have you seen the board entering this building? Yes. What is written on it? University of the Third century. University, let it be a university. This is what upsets us. A wonderful thing happened, because the previous visitors said that these are very ambitious classes, only the elite comes here. It sounded funny, but a lot of people want to be an elite. And indeed, in my classes, they have the ambition to further enhance their knowledge, to experience something different than before. I have been given the opportunity to run the Sopot University of the Third century for 10 years.
I think it is a wonderful place, where seniors can use many interesting classes and live actively in their third century. It is the University of the Third century, so for seniors, but we do not feel like that, we feel like students. Where does my mind still work? Where do my legs bring me here? I still want to be a listener to the University of the Third century. And here is a very important moment, because I always think that this beauty of thinking at some point confuses beauty, that is, beauty. Thanks to you, I have found a rule for my kind of youth elixir.
As long as someone is active, does something for themselves, does things that make them happy, develops their passions or finds talents that they have not seen before, I do not worry. I will definitely go as an example for you. I recommend it. Do it, you will see that it is worth it. .
