For example: "The path is so steep!When you going down it's cool, but when backing it's impossible to go all the way without a stop". Is "backing" sometimes used in spoken english?

About a garden.
Two weeks of August have passed very quickly.And here you can already feel the cold breath of automn.The temperature has fell to -15 and it has been raining from the day before yesterday.For sure the summer will be here again in few days, but it is coming to the end.But the end of summer also have some joys.Many people will get harvest from their gardens.It's a season of sweet apples and plums and vegetables like cabbage, squash and pumpkins.And the season of mushrooms will start.In Russia many peoples have gardens where they grow vegetables and fruits for their table.Even if a lot of people prefer to live in cities they usually have a cabin with a garden.My grandmother has a garden more than 20 years.She grow a lot of flowers there, they appear first.Then in June she has harvest of strawberry and raspberry, then it's time for black and red current and guseberry.Then cucumbers and carrots, tomatos, cabbage are ripe and so on.She devote a lot of time for gardening.I guess it's a great pleasure for her to seed little seeds and then look how it grow big.But it took a lot of manual labor.It could be pleasant too, or hard when it's too hot outside or too cold and rainy.My parents has a garden too.But they spend there less time compared to my grandmother.They use some smart ways to do gardening.Maybe it's because they don't enjoy it's so much.However they already have harverst of first pumpkins these week.The pumpkins are small, but bright orange and very good looking.

What motivates me
What motivates me the most is the ability to build a career. Another motivating factor for me is a support of people who I work with or make any project with. Because it's a well-known fact that no one achieve success independently and mostly our effectivness depends on our collegues. I believe that showing support is a sign of professionalism and leadership qualities of a person. So the second factor is a professional team. I would like to fit in a team of professionals and establish good relationship on at my workplace.
Besides, I know some companies have highly competitive work environment. I prefer to work in such environment where employees could learn and have a right for a mistake. Because in such environment collegues can have an open dialogue.
And I love to learn new things. Even in my leasure time I learn a lot. Sometimes I study computer programmes online, but my real passion are foreign languages and I also like reading articles on management and psychology.

In search of a dream job. (Part 1)
It's not a simple task to find a job that will fulfill all your wishes at once. Right now my goal is a position of junior level where I can grow as a professional and take new challenges subsequently. I want to work for a company where a can build a career. I'd like to get more management responsibilities in the future and get more involved in supply chain management. Supply chain management is an interesting field for me since I had been studing at University. The main theme of my diploma project was a supply chain of ALROSA, major Russian manufacturer of diamonds. The company has its diamond mines in Yakutia, in the Far East of Russia. Yakutia is famous of its severe winters. Some of the lowest natural temperatures ever recorded have been here.There is no navigation from November to May and it's very hard to deliver any cargo by trucks. So during the winter the main mode of transportation is airplane. To maintain the supply of the diamond mines the procurement have to be planned very accurately. Fortunately now we have IT solutions that make it an easier task. That was an interesting project for me, but I see that this indusry requires years of loyalty and hardest work to build a career.

Something about myself.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Daria and i'm 26 years old. I would describe myself as soft and altruistic person, who becomes very hard and stubborn when it concerns something that really important to me. I say altruistic, because i really enjoy helping people. I took part in 3 volunteer projects when I studied at univesity and I remember that time as the best in my life. Before I entered a university I dreamed to become a psychologist and help people with their psychological problems. Maybe it's because I was born on 6 th of May, the same day that Sigmund Freud was born. Only he was born in 1856 in Frieberg. I always want to understand people's true needs and view their true nature. I believe that when people feel valuable near me I only gain from such relationships would it be family, friendship or work. That's why I know how to listen, and i always take other's people needs seriously. I would say this is a strenght of mine, although some people could overuse this trait of my nature.
One of my weaknesses is that i don't like to be a center of attention. Public speaking, making a speech before a large group of people, making a toast these all are difficult experience for me. But I work on it. Lately I discovered an international organisation that helps people to improve their speaking skills and develop leadership qualities - Toastmasters club. This is an old educational American organization that was founded in 1924 in California. A Toastmasters club adopts a "learn-by-doing" philosophy, where members take roles and present speeches by their own choice. There also some special events like speaking contests and meeting with Toasmasters from other countries. But every Toastmaster have a program to accomplish. The program consists of ten speech projects, each building upon the other in skills and difficulty. For each project, the member prepares and delivers a speech in front of the club. After completing the ten Competent Communication projects the Toastmaster then can go on to more advanced projects such as sales presentations and others. But i'm just in the beginning of this long path.
