The year is 2040 and the world is at peace. People have long understood that the path of aggression, war and coercion leads nowhere. The dictators have been overthrown and we can breathe in a free Europe and a free world. Even in Slovakia, great changes have taken place, even miracles. We have a government in charge that everyone recognises and respects. A government that puts the needs of the nation before the needs of itself. Miracles are literally happening here. The motorway between Košice and Bratislava has been completed - wonder of wonders. All it took was a little - to change the government and put in place competent people whose education is higher (bigger) than their egos. We have defended our place in the European Union and we are walking hand in hand towards a brighter and better future. It is a joy to live in this country at the heart of Europe. The door to the world is opening for everyone, to a world where common sense, love and peace reign. Just as we wished. A bright future is not just a concept, it is a reality.

It's 2040, our schools are no longer teaching children an outdated curriculum taught with questionable methods. Our children love going to school and attend school without fear of what will happen. They don't ask questions like, will I be tested in front of the whole class today? Because they won't be tested in 2024. Homework will also no longer be a common occurrence. 8 hours at school should be enough for a child and there should be no need to spend several more hours on homework. In 2040, children will have a chance to be children and not worry about what grades they are getting because we will move to verbal assessment of pupils instead of the traditional grading system as it is more effective and has a positive response from pupils. Classes are also smaller now, which allows the teacher to focus on all their pupils and make sure that everyone really understands the topic being discussed. Children in 2040 are smarter and happier in school than we were for these reasons.

The year 2040 could be described as a kind of utopia. No war, no disputes, an economic situation that is favourable for all citizens, as well as an ecological one. Everyone has a well-paid job, and food and goods needed for daily life are affordable for all. People's pensions are paid, and I, too, am assured that I will be able to enjoy my retirement pension in my old age (and that I will have one at all). I don't have to count every penny and my children don't lose out. I don't pay exorbitant property taxes and I don't have to worry about not having a place to live. The state doesn't extort money from me, while at the same time having enough money to ensure a good future for everyone. Also, the people of this state are not being squeezed out of every penny by the state just because they don't want to work. The people of Ukrainian nationality who came to us during the Russian-Ukrainian war have returned back home, where they also live a happy life. Cars still run on petrol and diesel, while being environmentally friendly, but they do not destroy engines. Getting a car is affordable for everyone.

People have learnt from the past and have started to be respectful, nice to each other, to help each other, not to cheat. They appreciate nature and help it, develop it. There are fewer cars on the streets. They recycle and have stopped building new buildings - they repair or demolish on top of the old ones. The government cares about the citizens and tries to make them live well,they don't exalt themselves over them, their salaries are the same as the people. They solve problems by conversation without insults, they set an example for the people. Social networks are only for communication between loved ones and for inspiration at work, no earning, ads or influencers.
