Raising a dog is not easy. Who would argue? Especially if you got an active puppy with a cheerful and exuberant temperament. So, maybe you shouldn’t complicate your own life. How easy it would be if...
If you didn't have a dog, you could cover the floors in your apartment with snow-white carpets instead of dull ones carpets match the color of your dog's fur or the dirt in the yard.
If you didn't have a dog, you would buy a luxurious velvet sofa that matches so well with the white Persian rug, and you wouldn't have to look down modestly at the salesman furniture store, mumble, they say, I need something washable, preferably in dirty brown tones...
If you didn't have a dog, there would be no need to buy liters of all kinds of stain removers, shampoos and washing powders.
If you didn’t have a dog, you wouldn’t have to hang around in your pajamas under the house at midnight, patiently like a statue, waiting for your pet to finally pee, while the dog is enthusiastically digging up mouse holes. And certainly, your neighbors wouldn’t see you on your only day off at seven in the morning, casually strolling through the park surrounded by fellow dog lovers.
Imagine if you didn’t have a dog, you could sleep with your husband on a double sofa, and not lonely on the edge, while your dogs lounged freely between you. And you wouldn’t jump up in the middle of the night with the terrible feeling of being about to fall to the floor because all four paws were purposefully pushing you towards the edge of the bed.
If you didn't have a dog, you, like all normal people, would wake up to an alarm clock, and not to the feeling of a cold, wet nose in your left eye.
If you didn't have a dog, on long autumn evenings you could read the newspaper, sitting comfortably in a chair, instead of standing in the pouring rain, persuading your friend to come out of the entrance and relieve yourself.
Oh, if you didn’t have a dog... You could have grand receptions - ladies in evening dresses, men in tuxedos, and not limit yourself to inviting crazy dog lovers like you, those who don’t ask why in the glass Dog hair floats with the wine, and a gnawed bone lies under the chair. They understand why, when inviting people to visit, they are warned that it’s simple here and you can wear jeans.
And finally, if you didn’t have a dog, you would never have such wonderful friends who understand the meaning of such beautiful and sonorous terms as “sit”, “stand”, “lie”, “next”, “exterior” ", "muzzle", "mating", "bite". Friends with whom you can always argue about the merits and demerits of a particular breed, friends who do not faint when they find you carefully examining the excrement of your dog, who yesterday ate your child’s favorite toy. Friends who understand the purpose of such things as chewing bones, rawhide leashes, flea collars, combs, vaccines, and so on and so forth. Friends with whom you can spend hours discussing the antics of your beloved puppy, training methods, and the difficulties of the teething period. Friends who will understand the loss of their beloved four-legged friend and will never say: “After all, it was just a dog...”.
Therefore, when you, after an eventful day of work, during which you worked hard to earn money for a veterinarian, an instructor, or vaccines for vaccinations, dragging your feet with difficulty, are about to go to bed, please take a look at the black, chocolate, green, whatever there was no eye of your beloved dog and think how boring, monotonous and uninteresting life would be if you didn’t have a dog!
In 2005, when the Internet industry was just emerging in our country, someone realized for themselves that this was a gold mine. Over time, thousands of people from different corners planets have moved from offline to online. Today, almost every one of them has become a millionaire. Why did this happen?
For the last 5 years we have lived in conditions of economic growth.
Agree, the level of income was undoubtedly higher than at the beginning of the 2000s. Many were able to do good repair, bought a car, stocked up on real estate. But everyone understood that it couldn’t be like this forever. Everyone understood, they were afraid, but they continued to swim fat.
And now, the first wave of the crisis has arrived.
2008 was the starting point of a time of crisis. It was then that the forecast was given for the time when the bubble would burst. And it burst. Today. Now.
Today, thousands of people are losing their jobs, business mastodons are simply going bankrupt due to currency speculation, sanctions are increasingly knocking out a sense of confidence in the future. All more people When waking up in the morning, the first thing they do is not look at the weather, but at the exchange rate. It seems that even pensioners have begun to change their money into dollars. This is total panic.
Why is that?
The whole point is that we have crossed the line of carelessness into a new period of history. This is not a revolution, this is not 1945 or even the dashing 90s. The moment has simply come when you, as a member of society, are needed in order to create something valuable. It will no longer be possible to sit at work on VKontakte and shirk work. They will quickly find a replacement.
In order to stay afloat, a company needs to work so that not a minute is free, and the return ratio must be much higher than the competitor. To enhance this impact, we need personnel who can help keep the team afloat. You won't be able to sit on the boat. This is why many people lose their jobs. Need to cut budget wages, for small expenses, for the services of third-party companies.
Let's be honest...
Until this time we lived in a relaxed state. Objectively, this is exactly the case. Often people could afford expensive, thoughtless purchases, loans, we forgot about saving. And now, when walking around a supermarket, you can increasingly see people walking around the hall with a piece of paper and a pencil to buy exactly what they need.
Almost everyone lives with the fear of uncertainty. Some are afraid for themselves, others for their family and children. Someone remembers last years. And almost everyone is in this state.
Questions arise: how to survive? How to deal with the crisis? How to provide for yourself and your family? How to make money during a crisis? How to repay loans? And many many others. There will be a whole carload of such questions.
There is a wonderful technique that will help you understand what can be done to live normally in conditions of instability in the country and constant unrest in society. To complete it you will need a sheet of paper, a pencil or pen and an hour of free time. I think there will be no problems with these components.
Technique: “All or nothing”
Imagine yourself in a situation of complete stress. Complete hopelessness. Imagine that you have nothing else. You don't have a job. You have no reserves, no savings. What remains is the paid rent for the apartment for a month, 5 kg. buckwheat, water, salt and tea. By the way, your friends also abandoned you. And your relatives have long since moved and you no longer have any support at all. You are alone with your problems. Nobody will help.
Imagine that you have no one and nothing else
Now take a piece of paper and write on it what you could do in such a situation? Write down your skills and abilities. Each item separately. What useful things can you give to society so that it can help you?
Now we have to analyze this list. Cross out those items that will not be relevant in your conditions. Those. imagine that the whole country finds itself in the same situation as you are now. What points are not useful to you? What will not be in demand?
For example, you have an item in the list:
- I sell equipment
- I can cook food, I'm a chef
What should we take away from this? Most likely, in conditions of complete **** in the country and economy, your equipment will be useless, and no one will buy it. No matter how you try to sell it, people don’t need it. But I always want to eat. As a result, the item “I can cook, cook” can be left.
With this technique you can prepare yourself for unforeseen circumstances. There will never be a situation where you lose everything, but using the “All or Nothing” method, you can determine for yourself which skills will be especially in demand during a crisis.
This way, you will always know the “escape routes” and your life will not be filled with the fear of uncertainty. Try this technique, I’m sure you don’t even realize how many potential useful skills lie hidden within you and are simply not used.
Who will get hurt?
The people who will suffer the most are those who are not ready to accept the fact that they need to work, change themselves and adapt to new circumstances. This is especially true for those who are used to showing off their income. This applies to leaders of the information business, heads of large companies, etc., who, in order to attract people to themselves, show how cool and comfortable they live. Their pride simply will not allow them to come to terms with the current situation.
It won’t be easy for anyone, but those who have prepared themselves will always be one step ahead. And it will be easier for the heart, realizing that there are skills that will be useful even during a crisis.
Even if you have to lose your usual job, your usual way of life, the only thing that will remain with you is unique skills that will never depreciate.
Yours Sergey Tishkov,
Good luck, let's break through!

Appreciate those people who notice you not only when they need something from you, but when you simply exist.
If you have a dream, don't just sit there. Believe that you can succeed, have courage and turn over all the stones on the way, but turn your dream into reality.
"How more money, the more problems."
But this does not mean at all that if you have a lot of problems, then you have a lot of money!
two feelings save us in life -
love and humor. if you have one of
two, you - happy man! if
There are both of you - you are invincible!
If you think that the Universe sits and invents problems and illnesses for you, then you have delusions of grandeur. She simply implements your thoughts.
Be grateful for what you have and you will eventually gain more. If you focus on what you don't have, you will never have enough.
Happiness does not depend on who you are or what you have. It depends entirely on what you think.
If you don't build your dream, someone will definitely hire you to build theirs.
If you have a dream, nothing will stop you from making it come true as long as you don't give up.
Do you have a problem? We have a solution. But it may seem prosaic and even bitter: welcome to the real world.
Given: Katya, 28 years old, has been in a relationship with Maxim for two years, of which they have not had sex for 12 months.
“My partner works a lot and is quite stressed. Of course, my self-confidence is decreasing, I even started to gain weight. All my friends say that I'm crazy and that I need to break up with him immediately, but I don't want to.
At first, Maxim accused me of not knowing how to have sex properly, and I believed that the problem was with me. But he didn’t show me or tell me how to do it “correctly.” Now he says that he loves not with his penis, but with his brain, and I need to find the “magic button” in his head. And how should I do this? How to hack his brain?
It infuriates me that he acts tired or says that he wants to sleep when he sees that I want sex. It feels like he’s mocking me!”
Yes, this guy needs some serious work: he behaves like a real child. Says he's tired when you want sex? Children behave the same way when they are forced to make the bed or clean up scattered toys.
What does “I love with my brain” mean? Are you supposed to solve Sudoku in a negligee or play Tetris during foreplay? Shout out theorems during frictions? Should we call him Einstein or Elon Musk? He probably really doesn’t want to have sex with you and is trying to get rid of you in this ugly way.
There is, perhaps, only one way to solve the problem: directly tell him that you definitely need to have sex, so many times a week or month. Make him explain what he thinks “proper” sex means.
Perhaps this guy is asexual or questions his sexuality, and you are suffering. Try to find someone more temperamental who will agree to have sex more often than once a year.
Abstaining from sex is dangerous for both men and women. For the first - problems in the physical plane, for the second - in the mental. But men are designed in such a way that they go to satisfy their needs with unloved women if they do not have sex with their loved ones. But women endure: as a rule, they cannot live without love, and even if they decide to have affairs, then they often reproach themselves for these actions.
If there is no sex in a couple, but you don’t want to break off the relationship and go outside, that’s also not an option, the advice here is simple: consult a sexologist or, if you don’t want to involve a third wheel, have an open conversation. A conversation, if both participants are willing to listen and hear, is also considered therapy. Try to talk about your complaints to your partner, listen to his complaints, express your wishes, try to come to an agreement. It may take more than one conversation to spice up your sex life, but the results will be worth it. After all, sex is not the main thing in a relationship, but without it, both partners cannot live a full life.
