“...And we mean to go on and on and on and on! We are the champions, my friends, And we'll keep on fighting till the end. We are the champions!..."
Freddie Mercury, Queen
Hi, Champion!
Yes, yes, you, Champion. I believe we’re all Champions in our own way and no one can take this away from us. No matter what it is we do, it is always better to have tried regardless of the outcome. And here I'd like to share with You the list of the books, videos and websites which gave me a lot of support and inspiration, and I hope You may find it useful too:
