Happy Cossack Day,
Ukrainian Freelancers!
On October 14, we celebrate the Day of the Ukrainian Cossacks, and we believe that Ukrainian freelancers deserve to be congratulated today as well. After all, one cannot fail to notice the strange similarity of freelancers with Cossacks.
Are freelancers the cossacks on XXI century?
They share so many similarities:
Cheerful spirit: Like a sincere Cossack, every freelancer has an indomitable spirit, able to withstand any tests of fate and thousands of revisions from clients.
Independence: Freelance is the freedom to choose projects and manage your time. And as you know, Cossacks have always valued their independence.
Expertise: Cossacks were famous for their skills in combat. As are Ukrainian freelancers, who are known by clients around the world for being true experts in their field.
Brotherhood: Despite the fact that freelancers work independently, we are all one big family and community, like Cossacks, which has always had a strong brotherhood.
Happy Ukrainian Cossack Day, friends! May the spirit of freedom and independence never leave you! Glory to Ukraine
