This week in 1980, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir became the President of Iceland and the first democratically elected female head of state in the world.

She was narrowly elected in 1980, obtaining 33.6 percent of the national vote, while her nearest rival received 32.1 percent.

Her popularity soared, leading to subsequent re-elections three times: unopposed in 1984, with 94.6 percent of the votes against another woman in 1988, and unopposed in 1992.

In 1996, she decided not to run for re-election.

She is the world’s longest-serving female president at 16 years in office.

There's beauty in uncertainty with a sense of openness to what may. Embrace the unknown with curiosity and wonder.

Fear is a bully. Let's face the things that scare us. What's the worst that can happen.

Who's ready? Let's go, from today!

In the 13th century, Frederick II, emperor of Germany, wanted to know the language babies will naturally speak if they were allowed to grow up without communication from other people.

He thought the natural language of the babies would be either Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Arabic.

To find out the correct answer to his curiousity-based question, the emperor placed 50 nẹ́wborn bãbies in the care of nurses who would only feed and bathe them. The nurses or anyone else weren't allowed to speak with the bàbies, speak in their presence or play with them.

All the babies dị́ēd within few months.

"You can fail to achieve any of the things you planned and still live a happy and fulfilled life, because of opportunities that come along that you never planned for. But these opportunities can be missed if you stick doggedly to your preconceived blueprint." 👣👣
