有条“蚯蚓”真可笑（朱晋杰）
有条“蚯蚓”真可笑，
顺着鼻子上下跑。
哧溜一声——出来了，
哧溜一声——进去了。
不是蚯蚓是鼻涕，
掏出手绢快擤掉。
不要挂在鼻子上，
让人看见多不好。

        在这个世界上，最珍贵的东西是免费的。
　　阳光是免费的。没有谁能够离开阳光活下去，然而，可曾有谁为自己享受过的阳光支付过一分钱？空气是免费的。一个人只要活着，就需要不停地呼吸。可又有谁为他呼吸过的空气付账？无论普通人还是大明星，他们一样自由地呼吸着天地间的空气。
　　亲情是免费的。每一个婴儿来到世上，都受到了父母无微不至的关爱，那是一份不求回报的疼爱。父母的这份爱，不因孩子的成年而减少，更不因父母的衰老而削弱。友情是免费的。寂寞时默默陪伴你的那个人，摔倒时向你伸出手臂的那个人，伤心时将你搂在怀里的那个人，可曾将他的付出算成现金，然后要你还钱？爱情是免费的。那份不由自主的爱，那份无法忍住的思念，那份一路相伴的深情，正是生命中最深切的安慰与最坚实的依靠。而这一切，都是免费的，更是金钱买不来的。
　　目标也是免费的。无论王子，还是流浪儿，只要愿意，就能为自己的人生确立一个目标。这个目标既可以伟大也可以平凡，既可以辉煌也可以朴素，只要你愿意，你就能拥有。
　　还有信念、希望、意志、梦想……所有这一切，，都是免费的，只要你想要，你就能得到。生活是公正的，更是慷慨的，它早已把最珍贵的一切，免费地赠送给了每一个人。

The Missing Element in All Types of Interviews

In a job interview, make your case fast and be sure your suit is pressed, too. But it's not what the recording is about :) 

You might laugh, but it takes a few seconds for an experienced HR manager to decide on the outcome of the interview.

One of my students from China working as a general manager for a luxury firm said, "Oh, Anatoly, I watch for the words they use; if they have a victim mentality, the chances of them succeeding with us are low.". 

What are you going to do now after reading this?

I mean, I hear these remarks by my students who are top managers—they don't want to hear any kind of whining or complaining about the past. All they care about is how successfully you are going to assist and support the company's evolution and growth!

The winner's attitude is what they are looking for, and to be honest, it's a rare-case scenario.

If you check with yourself, what do you like? A complainer? A thrilled and excited individual? Are you happy about the changes, or does the future seem dark and gloomy?

Top managers got themselves trained to pick those nuanses, and so do I, as I've had top performers as my students for 8 years, and I did close to 21 thousand meetings with them—it's evident!

Let me know if this text was an eye-opener for you. I would be for me!!! 

If you want  me to listen to your speech and share some recommentations of how to improve your English performance - be my guest, book my classes now!

The Missing Element In All Types of Interviews

Each fast food meal we eat in a week could increase our risk of developing depression by as much as 4%, according to a new study.

Researchers from Iran also found that eating more than two fast food meals per week could increase the risk by almost a quarter.

They wanted to look at the effect of eating fast food on both obesity and depression.

Previous studies have found that eating a lot of heavily processed foods could lead to depression.

The research team thought that eating a lot of fast food was likely to cause obesity and that this could lead to depression.

However, they found obesity was not as much of an important factor as they thought it would be, and perhaps it was fast food consumption — and not obesity — that increased the risk of depression.

The researchers looked at data from more than 31,000 people in the US, taken between 2008 and 2018.

The participants were asked how many fast food meals they ate in a typical week, and they answered a survey that asked them about symptoms of depression.

During the study period, 11% of women and 7% of men showed signs of depression, although those with higher levels of education were less likely to be depressed.

Those who ate more than two fast food meals a week had a 24% higher risk of depression compared to those who ate fewer than two fast food meals per week.

However, the researchers say they can't prove that the cause of the participants' depression was eating fast food.
