The Olympic motto is "Citius, altius, fortius!" translated as "Faster, higher, stronger!" This call motivates participants in sports competitions to demonstrate the best results. In ordinary life, people also make plans with specific goals - they set themselves a high bar and strive to jump over it. “Achieve More” Day, which is celebrated on April 14, encourages you not to stop at the conquered peaks and give your best in honor of the holiday.

It is human nature to strive to expand horizons in the literal sense, increasing the volume of one’s knowledge, skills and abilities, and in a figurative sense. To do this, it is enough to periodically look around and remember to look up to appreciate the beauty of the universe and the Creator’s plan. This opportunity is available to space agency employees and astronomers year-round. Ordinary people can use it on April 14, celebrating Look at the Sky Day.

The holiday is intended to remind us how important laughter is in a person’s life. This is an evolutionarily determined way to reduce anxiety and resist stress, an involuntary reaction to tickling or humor, and less often - a consequence of nervous tension. According to scientists, it was the ability to laugh that helped our distant ancestors survive in difficult conditions.
