El Alivio del Sufrimiento

Ни первое и ни второе, это просто факт нашей повседневной жизни. Так что же такое советы, зачем люди просят дать им совет, и почему советуют сами?
Что такое совет? Это чужой взгляд на какую-то конкретную ситуацию. 
Зачем же просят советов? Многие отвечают на этот вопрос так: чтобы узнать мнение других людей о моей ситуации, узнать как и кто поступал в аналогичной ситуации. Это красивый ответ нашего сознания на этот вопрос. Но дело в том, что жизнь каждого человека уникальна, и каждый получает свой собственный жизненный опыт. И то решение, которое хорошо в одной ситуации и для одного человека, может быть далеко не так хорошо для другой ситуации и другого человека. Но тому, кто просит совета это кажется сущим пустяком или вовсе не приходит в голову.
Можно, конечно, выслушать мнение окружающих и поступить так, как считаешь нужным. Но тогда зачем же спрашивать? В этом случае спрашивают чаще всего за тем, чтобы утвердиться в собственной правоте, получить поддержку. И если мнение советчиков не совпадает с тем, что думает тот, кто в данном случае просит совета, то этот проситель совета негодует: «Да что вы понимаете в моей жизни!».
Ещё одна причина почему человек просит совета, это недостаток внимания. Человеку в жизни не хватает внимания, и прося совета он просто просит уделить ему внимание. Вопрос, относительно которого он просит совета, его в общем-то и не волнует, это просто повод, а главное, что нужно человеку, это внимание к его персоне.
Таким образом, совет человек просит, потому что не уверен в себе, не уверен в том, что сам способен принять правильное решение, и ему нужно либо готовое решение, либо подтверждение уже принятого им решения; либо человеку не хватает внимания. Но человек получает только иллюзию переложенной ответственности или получаемой им поддержки. Потому что самая главная поддержка в жизни каждого человека – это он сам. И самое главное внимание, которое он может получить в жизни, это его собственное внимательное отношение к себе единственному..

Serbian language journey

How are you? - Kako si/ste?

Speaker 1: For me, having a dumbphone would be …dumb. I really like surfing the web on my phone to find out about things. If I hear the name of an actor I don’t know about, I can look them up, or if I‘m in a new place and I want to find a restaurant to go to, I can find somewhere easily. Plus, I love Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I follow loads of celebrities and I love to watch concerts and live-tweet what is happening. Without my smartphone, my friends wouldn’t know what I was doing. It would feel very strange.

Speaker 2: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dumbphone. I hate how the battery on my smartphone is in control of my life. I always have to find somewhere to charge the phone when I’m out and I’m always worried about it. I also don’t like the way search engines record your history and use it to sell you things. I feel as though my attention is always taken away from everything I do with my smartphone because I use it so much. I was with a friend the other day and after a while, we were sitting there not talking, just looking at our phones. It was like our phones just killed the conversation. We didn’t even realize it was happening.

Speaker 3: I like the idea of a dumbphone. I’m just not sure if I would like it in practice. I travel a lot with my work, so it really helps being able to access my inbox when I’m out. If I didn’t, I would spend all my time in the office answering emails. I also have a favorite podcaster who I listen to all the time when I’m traveling. I can download his latest episode and pass the time when I’m on a flight or a train. I do enjoy being offline as I feel as though I am always using my phone to communicate, with email, Skype, phone calls, and text. But I think if I didn’t have access to the Internet most of the time, I would worry.

DUMBPHONES

Travelers often fly to New York or Paris just for the shopping experience, but according to a new report, it's Milan that should be called the capital of global shopping.

A real estate company has found that Via Monte Napoleone in Milan is the world's most expensive retail destination.

US firm Cushman & Wakefield ranked shopping areas based on the rent prices per square meter, and Milan has knocked New York's Fifth Avenue off the top of the list.

The average rent on the Milan street has risen to more than $20,800 per square meter compared with about $20,300 per square meter on an 11-block area of upper Fifth Avenue.

Via Monte Napoleone's small size — it's just 350 meters long — and walking distance to services and top cultural sites are among the street's key advantages, according to Guglielmo Miani, president of the Monte Napoleone District association.

"Not everything can fit, which is a benefit" since the limited space makes the street even more exclusive, said Miani.

The biggest brands on the street make more than $100 million in annual sales, Miani said, which goes a long way to paying the rent. Tiffany is preparing to open a store on Via Monte Napoleone, and luxury fashion store Fendi is expanding.

The Monte Napoleone District says 11 million people visited the area during the first 11 months of the year, but there's no way to say how many were big spenders and how many were just window shopping.

But according to shopping firm Global Blue, the average shopper on Via Monte Napoleone spent $2,600 per purchase between August and November — the highest average receipt in the world.

Officials from Fifth Avenue praised Milan for its efforts in making the street — and the city — a desirable place to shop.

But they added that the Italian city should enjoy its position at the top of the list while it can!
