Chasing the ideal!
"I wanna do things well, not somehow," is a phrase you've heard and maybe even uttered many times. These expressions are fundamentally wrong and even absurd.
βοΈ
Reality dictates different terms: better to do something than not to do it at all. Take the first step, immerse yourself in a state of inevitability, and move on. Don't waste time endlessly trying to make something perfect that probably won't even work.
βοΈ
Test hypotheses, create prototypes, most importantly, do and benefit now. Maybe when you've done it perfectly, no one will need it anymore. Is it worth it?

Self-development. Healthy Sleep.
π€
Sleep is a natural physiological state of rest, marked by a decreased response to the world around us and specific brain activity.
π€
In fact, a third of our lives are spent in this state - about 23.5 years.
π€
During sleep, we produce a number of important hormones, regenerate tissues, and replenish energy. Some areas of the brain become more active than when we are awake. Memory, as an example.
π€
Lack of sleep increases the risk of disease.
π€
Lack of sleep is a great catalyst for bad habits: when a person lacks sleep, he looks for external stimulants: nicotine, caffeine.
π€
Should we mention the bags under the eyes, premature aging of the skin, reduced reaction speed, deterioration of memory and quality of work done?
π€
Soberly assessing the situation, can we say that sleep is for wimps?

Self-development. The 5-second rule.
The five-second rule states: all you have to do is count from five to one to take action. Then you can do even the thing you fear most in the world.
5...4...3...2...1... Go for it!
Really simple and incredibly effective.
This works for two reasons:
1. You associate the counting with some action, the triggering of some processes. When you have counted to one, you see the finish line or start line. There's no point in waiting any longer. It's time to get down to business, to make a leap, as people do when jumping with a parachute for the first time.
2. This is the trigger - shut down. Countdown is so firmly ingrained in our consciousness that the word "go" becomes not just a word, but a command, an order that cannot be disobeyed.
Forward! Let's do it!
Every time you have to get to some unwanted job, go to the dentist's office, make an unpleasant phone call - use the five-second rule.
The hardest part of the journey is the first step. Take it and get to work.

COFFEE. BENEFIT OR HARM?
Many people prefer to drink a cup of aromatic coffee in the morning. But some people think that the invigorating drink is very harmful to our body.
But it has many health benefits, the main thing is to know the measure. Few people know that coffee improves performance, strengthens memory, removes fatigue due to the serotonin content, which is responsible for happiness and helps to fight depression.
βοΈ
It is also curative in nature. The caffeine in it prevents cholelithiasis and cholesterol crystallization and reduces the risk of diabetes, it is good for the immune system and the metabolism (it speeds up the breakdown of the fat). Coffee has a positive effect on the function of many other organs. It is also believed that it improves potency in men.
βοΈ
Scientists conducted an experiment: how coffee affects human brain activity. It turns out that in men, coffee dulls the intellectual capacity, while in women on the contrary increases.

Self-development. Waking up without an alarm clock.
So, how can you learn to wake up in the morning in a state of alertness and forget about that loud ringing of the morning alarm clock?
We live in cycles. The body gets used to a certain daily rhythm and adjusts all body systems to it. To wake up on your own, you first need to determine: what time you need to wake up and how much time you need to sleep.
Start going to bed at the same time, 7 to 10 hours before the time you need to get up. Get rid of external stimuli: noise, light, stuffiness, cold, and unpleasant smells. For the first week, including weekends, wake up to your alarm clock, but don't allow yourself to delay waking up. Just one call and immediately wake up. No "five more minutes."
Get some exercise and take a contrast shower. After seven days, give up your alarm clock. If you consistently fall asleep at the same time, your body will quickly get used to recovering in the hours allotted for sleep, and the morning rise will be pleasant.

WHAT NOT TO EAT BEFORE SEX. P. 1
(And, you know, eat in general.)
1. Sodas.
Studies have shown that diet sodas promote weight gain and increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, which in turn can threaten the development of coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
2. Hamburgers and hot dogs.
They contain low-grade meat that, among other things, contains many chemical additives that can aggravate inflammation and cause hormonal failure. Instead, choose organic meat from free-range animals.
3. French fries.
If you dream of gaining weight, feeling sluggish, bloated and having low libido, this is just the thing.

4. Cocktails.
Instead of drinking hard alcohol, try mixing tequila, soda and lime. Sweet mixed drinks add centimeters to your waistline and kill your libido at the root.
5. Ice cream.
Obviously, ice cream is not a very healthy food. It contains a huge amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners, the consumption of this treat can lead to fatigue, migraines, and sometimes even depression.
6. Cookies for breakfast.
Cookies are among the notorious foods that are stuffed with chemicals that will interfere with your hormones. If you can't live without biscuits, then try to cook them yourself - and not with margarine or vegetable oil, but with olive oil or even butter.
7. What we chew at a computer game.
You may think there's nothing better than a cold beer and chips or smoked wings. However, if you're hoping for a raucous night out, you're going to bitterly regret that choice.

The Arrow Method
Pierce everyday life with the tip of your productivityπ
Entrepreneur Nicholas Sonnenberg, the author of this method, believes that a WEEKLY schedule should be like the tip of an arrow - a lot to do in the beginning and less and less by the end of it. Why the comparison with an arrow is unclear, but stillπ
So on Monday you have the maximum amount of things to do, and by the weekend it gets less and less.
β‘οΈ And I'll also say that this method is good because you solve the most difficult tasks at the beginning of the week and if you don't make it in one day, you're definitely done with it by the end of the week!
And you take note of that!

Watch the direction of the humor vector
Humor is an extremely crucial thing for not showing your insecurities! And your main weapon in dealing with girlsπ§¨
I agree, it's not easy to find a girl with whom you'll be on the same page when it comes to humor, but there are standard moves you can make your signature style!
Otherwise, no gal will fall into your bed anymore!
Here are a few topics and trends in humor that are best avoided when dealing with a lady:
1. Don't rush into the dark humor. Everyone's morals are different (not just girls, but people in general). She just might think you're weird and suspicious. In other words the girl will not feel safe anymore.
2. Not everyone will catch professional humor (the exception is colleagues and women who work in a similar field).
3. Put aside vulgar jokes. And not because girls are prudes. It's just that while you're in the beginning stages, it's better not to rush.
The main rule is that all girls want to be hit on beautifullyπΉ

Qualities for Losers
Changing your decision because you realized a mistake is personal growth, and constantly hesitating and shaking before every decision is a lifelong subscription to failure in businessπ₯
β There is only one tactic for a person who aspires to success: turn off your emotions, arm yourself with logic, think through your plan of action, and go ahead and conquer the world!
I haven't met a single person so far that indecision has made them successful!
ππ»The pretty girl will pass by, and the boss will promote someone more proactive and that's it! Your success story never begins!

Pinch of inspiration
"Success is a reachable thing!" - That's the thought that has settled in my head and still drives me today! I wish you the same!
I love reading biographies of famous people and now I'm going to share one of the stories!
So, Jim Carreyπ
This comedian lived with his family for a while in a Volkswagen bus parked all over Canada. Due to lack of money, he dropped out of high school and went to work!
He took a job as a janitor just to support his family. Kerry's story is inspiring because it was during these financially difficult times that he developed his sense of humour, on which he later made millions.
Conclusion: develop in all directions and one day you'll be greatπ

Today I'll give you some motivation for moving forward
What's the one thing that holds us back the most?
That's right, the very fear of failure that often keeps us from even STARTING to move forward.
But realize that you are not alone in this fear!
Great men were not born great-they made mistakes and lost many times.
Do you know Abraham Lincoln?
President of the United States, the most iconic politician of his time, humanist, businessman, and talented orator. Not a bad list of regaliaπ€
But did you know that before becoming president he lost 18 elections!
Think about that number - 18 defeats at that point in his life alone!
He also went bankrupt twice, lost his business twice, and in 1935 had a severe nervous breakdown from which he spent a year recovering!
Imagine how many minor defeats he suffered...
But Lincoln still got his way and wrote his name in history, which is remembered almost exclusively in a positive way!
How's that?
Still afraid of your failures?π

Charisma is the ability to act and lead people. Such personalities are always active and active in difficult situations. The desire to perform the task as well as possible burns in them and it should be in you.
Where to start?
DO NOT BE AFRAID! You need to be bold and courageous, no one will do it for you. Take difficult tasks, do not walk away from difficult situations, try to accept them as part of your life!
BUT! Itβs not a shame at all to ask for help, we are all human and gradually learning new things, the main thing is to be polite and grateful for it and, of course, not to abuse.
Develop emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. Read more, talk to people on different topics, try to understand their point of view and how they feelπ§
Start working on yourself and I will help you.

I just can't hold back laughter when I hear statements like that
ππ»"Looking for a beautiful, independent woman. Sporty. NOT GOING TO SUPPORT ANYONE!!!"
Men say it both directly and in their social networks, and broadcast this position during communication with the ladies, and so on.
Just wonder what such characters are gonna do to interest a womanπ
"A rich inner world" and a trailer in the form of a mother?
Note, thatβs me, saying a long time ago, far from dating, and other things.
Unconditional love for my wife, she's soπ
But still, I still notice this attitude, and even in some of my friends.
Yes, not in such an exaggeratedly radical way, but still.
So let me try to be clear. When you enter into any relationship with a woman, you sign up for an exchange of time, love, and other resources (including money).
That is, the relationship works both ways.
Don't forget this commonplace truth and then things will be easier in lifeππ»

Pretty essential thing to know how to behave in an argument
If you hear insults or your interlocutor switched to personalities - consider that you have already won in this dialogue.
This pattern is very important to get, so as to avoid even more heat in the situation and further senseless waste of time.
A person just can't admit defeat and looks for any reason not to accept it.
Worthy arguments, if there were any, are already over. The goal of such an interlocutor is to provoke a backlash and drag you into this abyss of maximum unproductive conversation.
Experienced people in this business simply acknowledge the imperfection of their personality and end the dialogue with a squared-off winner.
But this manner of communication doesn't even deserve thatπ
I rarely have to go exactly into an argument for work, but difficult dialogues are a frequent practice.

How to speak correctly and persuade peopleπ’
To do this, you need to develop the skill of oratory, which includes rhetoric, acting and psychology techniques.
I learned this from a professionals for about a year and a half, and here are the basic techniques I got:
βοΈ Used metaphors. They evoke emotions and anchor the information in the memory of those who are listening.
βοΈ Told stories and anecdotes that made the story more alive and close to the audience.
βοΈ Demonstrated his high moral convictions. This is perceived as the norm to follow.
βοΈ Responded to the feelings of others to form an emotional connection.
βοΈ Used contrasts to brighten speech and focus on what was needed.
βοΈ Asked rhetorical questions that make people think.
In addition, I recommend using a nonverbal component: body position, gestures, facial expressions, intonation.

Metaphor is a powerful device for brightening your speechπ£
In addition to it there is analogy and epithet. What's the difference?
π The moon like cheese is an analogy.
π A cheese moon is an epithet.
π A piece of cheese hanging in the sky at night - metaphor
That said, metaphor is stronger than epithet, and it is stronger than analogy. It's simpleπ
It's important to remember:
β Don't use metaphors that are a mauvais ton: "spitting bile," "pissing boiling water," and other hackneyed crap.
Build up your vocabulary to use catchy idioms. Think about it, what's easier to sell: "A decoration for your flowers" or "A vase for your flowers"?
Here's an example: When Kodak invented the camera, the technology was new and unknown to anyone. They called it the "memory mirrorβ. The camera film is the memory and the lens is the mirror. And the whole world understood them!

Today's post is short with a simple message
ππ»To get rid of the fear of making a mistake, of the limitation that "nothing will work," you have to take it and make Mistakes.
And as often as possible.
Stories about convenient and "safe" ways don't really work, unfortunately.
Mistakes are an essential part of growth.
Well, we won't understand WHY it's like this unless we get into "it's like this" ourselves!
I notice how differently I perceive song lyrics now and before.
As I've gotten older, the words and messages of the musicians I listened to in my youth have become more and more clingy.ππ»
I've been wrong more than once and will continue to do so.
Success only grows when we allow ourselves that luxury of being wrong, drawing conclusions and moving on.
The only one who doesn't make mistakes is the one who does nothing.
I don't like to turn to proverbs, but here it comes in handy as never beforeπ

Small talk is an important element of life in society
It's that casual conversation in the elevator with an unfamiliar colleague, in the parking lot with a security guard, in a coffee shop with a bartender and so on...
Such a small talk to fill an awkward pauseππ»
Small talk is simply unreplaceable during work breaks, useful at corporate parties and informal meetings.
I probably can't even remember how many casual introductions, after such short conversations, have come in handy in my life!
Even a few investment projects have been led to by these "threads"π€
What is the most important thing in such "little conversations"?
It's simple - sincerity and goodwill. Comment, parry, ask questions, compliment, back up your words with emotion, and don't forget to smile.
Mastering this skill will make you a desirable conversationalist in any company.

Why do people divide into strong and weak?
And I'm not talking about physical characteristics - I'm talking about strength of mind, character, perseverance.
Yes, let's dig a little deeper.
There's a rather famous phrase:
ππ» To be strong is not a given, but to be weak is not a disease!
And here we are talking just about a person's position in life.
A weak person simply can afford to be weak, and a strong person can't. After all, if we look closer, there is always someone stronger, a decision-maker, next to the weak. He is responsible not only for himself, but also "for that guy." In essence, he allows the weak person to be weak.
So there are no weak people in nature?
There are people who are comfortable being weak.
I hold that position in my life.
And yes, I know this position is debatable - I often talk to my friends about itπ€

Bosses exploit workers who don't ask for a raise
It's just a great source of cheap labor...
Such people are deluded into thinking that talking to a boss about a promotion or pay raise is embarrassing and uncomfortable.
ππ» "You're being used to your advantage, and you're thinking about shame?" - I want to shout, but I hold back.
It is important not to act on the wave of emotions!
You should not save your discontent for a long time, and then burst into the head, splashing out on him, all that has accumulated.
And there is no need to use theses like "I work more than anyone else," "I work overtime, while others" and the like. This is not only ineffective, but may even exacerbate the relationship with his boss.
What should you do then?
Armed with the facts of your high performance and choosing the right time (the company is going uphill). You have to prove that the salary increase will be beneficial not only to you, but also to the companyπ
