They say that in olden days all kind people asked themselves these three questions before saying something. And if they had even any slight doubts, they preferred not to say it.
There's an opinion that life is a chain of lost opportunities, but I wouldn't agree... Life more resembles a supermarket, the counter of which is piled up with really various opportunities... And you walk along it and add those attracting your attention to the cart... The only disappointing thing is ...its expiry date is only some time away...Sometimes, even before you think it, it - the end... gone... But actually, it's nonsense. As far as I know, new goods are served every day...
Prejudice, that is, fear and contempt, is the chief enemy of knowledge. Any source of information is worthy of attention. The smaller the grain of knowledge, the more useful it is.
Ask, and it shall be given you, but many people do not want to ask out of arrogance. “We don’t want to ask anything,” they say. “We want that it be given to us just like that. If we ask, we will be in debt.” Arrogance turns them into sinners and makes them suffer.

Be quick at taking decisions as long and boring search
finally kills the joy of life and exhausts...
And finally it makes a person make a wrong choice.
Generally, 90% of first decisions are the most sound ones...
The principle of energoefficiency: be simpler. The perfect decision is the simplest one. Even a complex decision consists of many perfect simple actions...
You need to love your parents in order not to be afraid of them. You need to love your enemies in order not to be afraid of them. You should love life, work, and people for the same reasons. Love is knowledge. As we learn, we stop being afraid.
It's not about bad times or good times. Good times are the times you love. When you love, you are not afraid, you are not lazy, you are attentive, you see the truth, you have faith and, therefore, strength. You lose love, you lose everything.
A man doesn't want you to like him because he doesn't see the reason. Of course, this fact is very traumatic for your self-esteem and causes resentment. But who's to blame, isn't it you?
Social barter is a basis for social division of labour. Quid pro quo, everyone shares what he has. The person who wants to be loved for nothing is an egoist and a freeloader. Every person should bring benefit.

What is the intention of a team? being singly we - are zeroes… threes, sevens, nines, but in a couple already tens…
Here for instance 11 or 99 … And what if more… hundreds… thousands …millions… even just a one…with zeroes is in essence enormous... like a whole world in the raging ocean...
How to walk straight when everyone is pulling you in different directions? You can't move, you either fall or, finding balance, you stand still. The second is correct. Find a balance and, freezing, put down roots. Your goal is high, not low, your goal is to grow, not crawl.
The least resistance way is usually used for setting traps. The least resistance way is typical for the way a mousetrap is set. The least resistance way is usually used in scratching trap holes.
P.S. But there's one exception, namely when you are on your own way.
A deaf one hears only one's own voice. While a blind one sees only one's own thoughts. A silly one doesn't hear and doesn't see. A silly person is deaf and blind.
A person who does something for another person, secretly hoping to please him and for this wanting something from him, concludes a "black contract", that is, a one-sided contract, which is known only to him. The second party, without ratifying such a contract, is free to execute it.
If a person does not want you to like, apparently, he does not see any benefit in this, apparently, you could not show him that you can be useful for him.
A decent person never works only for money. There should always be some ideas or goals /for instance, experience, information, training/.
What's more, money is not that valuable in itself. It's just energy and means of achieving particular goals. That's why it's goals that matter first. And what a person wants to use money for.
I'm an extended hedonist theory follower: plant a tree and take care of it. And all the time during its growth and later when it's big enough, every glance at this tree will bring you joy and pleasure... The same can be said about the house and children...
...and generally about any result of a person's constructive activity under the condition that the result brings perfection and preferably, uniqueness.
It's a very important moment: perfection and uniqueness. Try not to create any garbage in your life as the world's already full of garbage. So why contribute to this problem... Especially that it causes painful consequences.
A great way to get out of an unnecessary dispute is to say "Yes, of course. Yes, of course you're right." The main thing is not to prove anything, do not justify and do not justify anything. Shake your head thoughtfully, but in your heart, ignore all this nonsense.
