The mountain has been in a state of ncontinuous eruption for half a million years. Exploring the Etna geographical area reveals a history writte fire. Before the eruptions, it was covered by forests of pine trees. Located in southern Italy, Etna is the highestactive volcano in Europe. (16) However, its height often changes when volcanic material accumulates duringeruptions and subsequently collapses. Few volcanoes in the world have an eruption history so thoroughlydocumented by historical records Etnas eruption history dates back as far as 1500 BC. Some 200 eruptionshave been recorded down through the centuries, but compared with other volcanoes, most of its eruptions haveso far been fairly light in terms of death and destruction. Only about 100 deaths have been attributed to thevolcano. The mountain hasnt been entirely harmless, however; in 1928 it destroyed the town of Mascali. (17)Overthe centuries, Etnas lower slopes have been shaped by human hands to take advantage of rich soils for growinggrapes, apples and nuts. Local people have also carved out over 200 caves in the soft rock and used them foreverything from sacred burial places to food storage. I arge mammals once wandered the volcanos slopes, buttoday foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. (18)Some of those small mammals help to sustainsuch big birds as golden eagles. 2 My name is Brendan Leonard and Im an author, magazine writer, filmmaker and public speaker.(19)pself-employed, which means I work for myself and I do what I love. We have a popular saying in Americwhich goes, Do what you love and youll never work a day in your life. (20)But Im here to tell you thainstead of focusing on doing what we love, I think we should focus on loving what we do. In my line of workyou hear a lot about talent, which is an idea we ve mostly invented to give ourselves an excuse to be lazy. Herelwhy: if you see someone doing something really well, you would say its because they re talented. You thinttheyre somehow special. You discount the tremendous amount of work theyve done to get to where they are(21)Research has shown that talent is nothing without hard work. I choose to believe in hard work, but not smuch in talent. There are no special people, just people who put in enough hard work until something specialhappens. I can promise you one thing: whatever you choose to do for a career, if you work hard at it,eventually, special things will happen. They may not happen as quickly as youd like them to, and they mayturn out to be completely dffrent from the special things you imagined at the beginning, but they will happen. 3 A quesion we often ask others and are also feqreuly sked by ohes is \"What do you nomaty do aftershool or wor k? Some comonplac answers are, Well, go to the gym. \" *Umm. I just gohomc and watchTv. , \"I meet my friends for dne.\". or \"I just go to becd beause its so late andm trd.\" Unlike any of theetypical responses, Im proud to say that I love to dance Salsa after a long and tiring day of work. (22)Salsa is a kindof dancing that evolved in the mid-1970s in New York. (23)My dancing life began not because I wanted to do it, but because my mother was sick and tired of seeing me running around after school doing nothing. So sheenrolled me into a ballet course when I was six. I fell in love with it instantly and continued with ballet dancingfor about 10 years. (24)Then I left my native country of New Zealand to start my career as an English teacherwhich eventually brought my dancing life to a halt. It wasnt until I rediscvered Salsa in a lovely studio whiworking in Asia that I renewed my pasion for dancing. Since then I have been uying to atend daning clastwice a weck after work.
