"to let you in on it" - I can't understand this "on" here,why is it so? why it's not "into" or "at"? I generally confused with this whole phrase because of this "on it".

"Starting to cut their teeth as a band" - what does mean this "cut their teeth"?

What does this mean - "he is high as hell"?

The right words Today I was going to dentist. A lot of people are afraid to dentists. Especially people who at least one time had a deal with old soviet drilling machine:) It was a long time ago, these times have gone and now there is a new wonderful equipment in policlinics, but sometimes it's impossible to wipe off the memory) However, some people who were never being in Soviet policlinics are afraid of dentists as well. So today I saw one such little boy: he opened the door of the cabinet and tried to run away from his mom and a doctor. This woman was calling: "Stand still, Max!" Max ran over the corner and there run into a big man 2 meters tall (he looked like he was 30 or something like this). The boy seemed to be in a desperation and hided behind this man. The man looked at a boy from his 2 meters carefully and said: "Hey boy! Be a man! You know how I am scared? But we must to be real men, go through this and be proud of ourselfs!" A boy seemed to be perplexed a little. "Really? Are you scared too?" - he asked. The man answered: "Of course! I'm terribly scared like you! But I'm sure I can do it. And you can." Max answered "OK" - and then went to his mother who was observing this conversation. Probably this little boy heard some important words that he needed in that moment.

The Clear Intention Sometimes when you want to get something, you have to have not just a wish to have it, but clear intention. I mean here it's having unconditionally intention just go and take what you want without thinking about "what i should do", "how do it right", "what if this will be unconvenient for someone or someone whose help I need" and so on. For instance, I have this little story. Maya and Ann were good friends. But in one fine moment Ann just disappeared, didn't call Maya, didn't write her, didn't answer her calling, but answered on sms which Maya sometimes sent Ann, just "I'm ok. You?" "I am ok too" - Maya answered and then their dialog was finishing. After more than a year since they were talking last time, Ann called Maya and said: "Oh hi, i haven't seen you for ages! How are you? Are you free today? Or tomorrow? I need to see you urgently! Tomorrow? Ok, I will come to you! I need you to make my English quiz, I know you know English good, you were in America last year! I'm sure you will help me!" Maya has agreed to help. Ann came to her with questions for quiz, they were engaged in English for 1,5 hours, then were talking and drinking tee around 15 minutes and Ann said "Thank you! You bailed me out, i'm sorry but I have a lot of exams now, so I must go, but I will call you through 2-3 weeks! Necessarily! Bye!" Maya told me about it 3 months later and of course Ann has disappeared again. Maya even didn't being angry or offended, she was just very surprised. I had one case. Once I was riding on the bus. I was sitting and listening to music. One woman came into the bus, came up to me and said: "Give me a place, girl!" I was so stunned that I just gave her my place. I should say she didn't be old, or sick. I would say she felt much better than me:) And I wouldn't say that I never argue and always ready to give up to everyone. This my act suprised me. After I stand up I just spacy thought: "What was it???" Someone can say it's just insolence, but here is in what a difference between a simple insolence and a clear intention. In the first case people can get angry because of such behavior, and they can start to hinder you. In the second case people don't get angry at once or later, they just surprised and stunned. But person with a clear intention just easy get what he wants. There are some people who do everything this way (like Ann who became a director of a chain of restaurants when she was just 22). Another just should learn it because of their upbringing

A new year without a snow The day after tomorrow is the beginning of New Year. When i was a child, i loved this holiday and thought that it is magic (probably as any child). Later, being a first-year student, i started to feel some disappointment. Because i kept waiting for a miracle on every beginning of New Year, but often there was no miracles at all. So soon i realized i don't understand all this new-year-hysteria. So much people are running everywhere to buy a bunch of gifts (sometimes absolutely useless), spending much money on restorans, a lot of food, new outfits, alcohol etc. And they all obsessed with the idea to don't sleep all night and to have fun - because the beginning of New Year determines how they will spend all this year. Personally i haven't ever wanted to spend all year being drunk and without a sleep:) And i always thought that's very weird to have fun by calendar. But that's all gone, i realized later that i can make my own choice how to meet a New Year, to sleep all night long or to hang on the phone with my those friends who are not with me now, or to party insanely, or walk with my family on the holiday streets, making my own miracle in my every choice. Now i relate to this holiday calmly. And this time i even miss this nice New-Year-Hysteria, because it's fun and it has so much of energy! I miss it this time, because there is no snow here at all and no holiday mood. Chrismas Trees look so weird under this endless rain in this long-drawn november. I understand that somewhere in California snow falls never, but that is California:) Oh my God, i miss a snow!!!=) I hope the winter will begin in January, finally:) Do you feel a holiday mood?
