Hello everyone!

It's winter, time to start writing posts on Steemit again, telling about what I find and what happens.

Yesterday I finally opened Isaac Asimov's book "In the Beginning", and was surprised to find a lot of interesting data for myself.

Firstly, Isaac Asimov's name is Isaac, and as it turns out, he moved to America only at the age of 3, before that he was Isaac Ozimov.

Secondly, he has a PhD in biochemistry from Columbia University. This is more than impressive to me. It should be checked, but the total number of books written by Asimov reaches 500.

500 books, can you imagine that? This is a serious number, even five hundred WORDS are sometimes difficult to write, and here - books. And this is not just fiction, among these 500 books there is popular science.

The book "In the Beginning" has been lying around with me for a long time, since the summer, I even took it to different places of my stay during this time, and this book, among other things, has already traveled in cars three times, packed in boxes twice, and even moved from city to city.

I bought it in a small store where old books, already handed over by other owners, are sold. Who knows what journeys this book has made before, who read it and how many times.

And finally yesterday I decided to put it on the bulletin board to just send it for free, and thanks to this I decided to open it. And I was surprised - I thought it would be science fiction, but the book turned out to be popular science.

I must admit, this inspired me a lot. At that moment I realized that I need to study more, and strive more for outstanding people. Including modern ones.

However, concentrating on reading a book is much more difficult than watching videos on the Internet. I wonder how modern children are doing with this.

Well, I'm attaching to the post a photo I took at an event I attended. What's interesting is that there aren't many photos, because I've been shooting more short video clips lately.

Have a nice day everyone!
