International Deaf Day

Mechanical Engineer's Day

The holiday originated in 1995 thanks to the international organization ICHCA, which deals with the safety and development of transport and cargo transportation. A little more than 20 years have passed, but still no one can say for sure who the caravaners owe the date to: William Adams, the first European to reach the shores of Japan, or the Prophet Muhammad, who completed the journey from Mecca to Medina on September 24, 622.

“If you’ve done the job, walk boldly,” says the famous Russian proverb. “Action is the main key to success,” said Pablo Picasso. However, according to statistics, 85% of people give up halfway and don’t finish it. Unrealized plans and unfinished projects hang like the sword of Damocles over a person who started but did not complete their implementation.

Like other ancient Slavic holidays, the day was associated with the cult of nature and the agricultural calendar. For the farmer, who lives by the fruits of his labor, the beginning of each season in the annual cycle was an important date. For the holiday, it was customary to prepare special dishes from the fruits of the new harvest. They baked bread and pies from freshly ground flour, brewed beer, and feasted on honeyed berries and fruits.

This is the day when you can allow yourself to throw away standards and order by doing something crazy, regardless of age and social status. Not every person can risk their image and change the everyday, familiar rhythm of life to spontaneous, joy-bringing actions. However, you can allow yourself little pranks and quirks at least once a year.
