I took this photo two years ago during my visit in Hungary. The picture was made in the evening, when in the darkness I saw the beautifully illuminated city.
In the picture you can see how beautiful the water reflects the lights of the city. For me it was a very touching scene.

WHAT MOTIVATES PEOPLE TO CHANGE?
First of all, most people change, or at least are willing to consider changing if they are in pain. We're all familiar with this dynamic. When there's something in our life that makes us uncomfortable, we may initially hope it will go away. If it doesn't, we start with small and relatively easy steps to change the situation. Finally, if those efforts are unsuccessful, we get to the point that we can't stand it any more. "I'm sick of this!" we scream. That emotional or physical pain gives us the courage to take other steps that may be more difficult, but are more likely to solve the problem permanently.

Summary:
At a Wisconsin university, local farmer's daughter Paige Morgan is intrigued by odd Danish exchange student Edvard 'Eddie', who is ignorant of many aspects of daily life, such as all domestic, but well versed in other matters, such as Shakespeare. They become friends; invited -enouraged by her best friend- to the Morgan family farm he makes a good impression on her parents and brothers and triumphs in the rustic lawnmower race. Paige and Edvard come from two different worlds, but there is an undeniable attraction between them.Only after some paparazzi track Edvard down to film them kissing and he has returned home because the king is gravely ill, Paige realizes he may be her true love, and flies to Copenhagen. Initially the court, especially queen Rosalind, opposes a commoner bride, but Edvard sticks to his guns before accepting to succeed his abdicating father, and Paige's public performance soon improves enough to win the royal family's blessing. Only once she realizes a queen's life means giving up her medical career and leaving the US forever, she seriously reconsiders...
She tells Edvard that she can't do it, she can't be queen, Edvard is confused; she says that she can't give up dreams and she can't stop being herself and that Edvard has to stay for his father and for his country. They hug, knowing the relationship is over for good. Edvard is crowned king and Paige returns to the farm and graduates from college. She suddenly hears Edvard quoting Shakespeare, she runs up to him and kisses him but warns him that Denmark is not ready for a queen like her; he says that they will have to be because has always been. They kiss and the movie ends.
