TO MY NEW READERS FROM POLAND





Dear new friends of Ego Out and me,

My Blog has only one writing in your language:
however you can use these rules to solve all your problems.
It is a pity that the Rules are still not part of curriculums in
millions of schools

I also want to mention that my best writer friend, Valeriu Butulescu who has generously supported Info Kappa (the Romanian variant of INFORMAVORE’s SUNDAY) with his
unique aphorisms- has studied in Poland, has a Polish wife and
belongs to the Polish culture in the same manner as Stanislaw Jercy Lec.

Welcome to Ego Out and please join me in my travel to New Energy!

Peter
