The purpose which exist outside of the activities Today I think a lot about the phrase: "The purpose must exist​ outside of the activities". It appears from this that the purpose of the human life must exist outside the life. Many coaches (in any case in Russia) talk about this. I think the people who have such purpose is really successful. And conversely successful people have such purpose of life. It is the very interesting thought. In India, they say that a soul has 3 properties: eternity, knowledge, happiness. And this is its necessity too. The purpose outside the life is an effort to find this eternity Many of religion promise the paradise after a death. Maybe is it a reason why so many people practice religion. Because the paradise is a purpose which exists outside the life. The second example is about children. In Russia, they say, "The children is flowers of life". It is one more possibility to find an eternity. I am religious and I love my son. But I think I must looking for my own purpose. Now, I have not idea how to do this. What do you think about this? Do you have an advice for me? Any idea?

Nine-year-old Johnny Smith wasn't a bully, but he was very mischievous Nine-year-old Johnny Smith wasn't a bully, but he was very mischievous. Teachers often complained to his mother about the bad behavior of Johnny. But once they called from school and said that Johnny had pulled out of the water his classmate. Ms. Smith was happy to hear this news and when Johnny came back she praised him. However, having heard the praise, Johnny reddened and said: "Mom, you know, I needed to pull out him of the water because before that I pushed him into the river"

Coffee and juice I like a coffee, but I want to give up drinking him because I drink coffee overmuch. Today's morning I thought that I can drink freshly-squeezed juices instead of a coffee. Then I went to the work and forgot this thought. At the work, one of my colleagues gave me an orange (it was a first time!). I was wondered and said her that just in the morning I thought about juice but my visualization was weak and it was enough only for orange. It is no juice, but it is also cool. After that, she brought me orange squeezer! It was an incredible coincidence and as a result,​ I drank tasty orange juice at work! The dreams became a reality. Desire more!

My birthday My birthday is on 26 of August. In this year on my birthday, my wife organized a surprise for me. In the morning one of my friends rode over to me. He and my wife said we are going to for out of town, but firstly we need to be gone to the one place. We came to the quay and had started to wait for something. I didn't understand what happening. After the time, other my friends came to us. We stayed on the quay and spoken. It was strange, but nobody told me what it is the meaning. After 5-10 minutes we saw the sailing. It was the sailing for us and we were sailing on the Volga during 3 hours. It was an amazing! It was very windy. It was the friendly environment. It was my best birthday.

Autumn In Samara was a very hot summer. In summer, the temperature was rising to 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit. The first of September autumn came and the weather changed. Clear September it was raining and cold. Because of this, many people came down with the flu. I also have been sick but I quickly recovered. On the other side there are a lot of mushrooms in the forests in the Samara region because of the weather. Many of my friends went to pick mushrooms. I have never picked mushrooms.

The First 20 Hours -- How to Learn Anything Hi! I hope you had a good day today! Today I watched the video by Josh Kaufman - The First 20 Hours -- How to Learn Anything. This is a short talk from TedX. If you want to watch this video, you can click to the link - <a href="https://youtu.be/5MgBikgcWnY">https://youtu.be/5MgBikgcWnY</a> They often say that it takes about 10 000 hours to master a new skill. But Josh Kaufman argues that 20 hours is enough for this and talks about the method that gives this result. His method worth a try, what do you think? This is only 40 days for half an hour per a day. I don't hope to improve my English to advanced level by 20 hours. But I can try to improve my written English with this method. For a translation of this post, I used web translators, dictionaries, and articles on English (and it wasn't easy!). I'm sure there is still a lot of mistakes. But I have another 39 days! This is not much, but not little. Do you find this method interesting? Did you watch the original video? Thanks for read my post. I really value your attention, adjustments, and comments. Best regards, Gleb

About goals, English and Brian Tracy Hi! I'm glad you reading my note! Today I started reading book by Brian Tracy - Effective Time Management (in Russian - "Результативный тайм менеджмент"). Interestingly, the book begins with necessity to setting mission in life. Really, if one haven't goals and haven't desire to achieve something, then there is no reason to study time management. It got me thinking about following question (one of many). How well would I work if reason of my work was not money or career, and need for my personal fulfilment. Based on this I formed personal challenges at work, which I will carry out. And it gaves me new energy for work as well as I can. Another my personal goal is to learn Engilsh. And I try to do something everyday to come close to this goal. Today I didn't know what to write, but wrote. I am attaboy :) How did you spend your day? What did you learn new? What insights? What are you proud of yourself today for?
