Countries.jpgHow many countries are there?

There is no clear answer to this question. There are between 189 and 195 independent countries (as of May 2008).

The UN (United Nations) has 192 member countries, the US State Department recognises 194 countries as independent, and most encyclopaedias list 193 countries.

I have never had a full-time job in my life. That doesn't mean I've never worked.

On the contrary, I have worked quite a lot in the last three years, for myself. I built a house, with my own hands. The motivation for this was that every drop of sweat was shed for myself. With every day I improved my own standard of living.

Here are ten reasons why you should never take a normal job.

It used to be called typewriting, but today it is more likely to refer to the keyboard of a computer.
