When things start to get hard, try to persevere through adversity.
Many people give up on following their dreams because the work becomes too difficult, tedious, or tiresome–but often, you’re closer to the finish line than you may think, and if you push just a little harder, you will succeed.

Three Feet From Gold

Здравствуйте. Это девятый эпизод подкаста «Глубинный народ», взгляд на культуру России из провинции.

На странице 42 книги Primitive Secret Societies by Webster я прочитал о секретных мужских языках. Лично я считаю, что существует русский мужской язык.

В моём селе, если на улице встречаются трое-пятеро мужчин, они начинают разговаривать «за жизнь». Каждый старается казаться умнее и остроумнее, чем он обычно есть. И мудрые мысли и виртуозное владение языком порадуют внимательного слушателя. Не всегда, конечно. Но ведь «мудрость народная» недаром упоминается в гимне России.

И да, собеседники обильно посыпают свою речь матом. Делают это они не потому, что они злы, хотят кого-то унизить или одержимы сексом. Некоторые шутники называют мат «определёнными артиклями». Это не однообразные f bombs. Искусный русский мат высоко ценится.

Так вот, я считаю мат мужским языком. Это речь настоящего мужЫка, непременно с буквой Ы после Ж.

К сожалению, в наши дни можно чаще чем раньше слышать мат от женщин и школьников. Это шокирует мужчин моего поколения и воспитания. Уходит эпоха...

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
Step 4: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

This story uses words from '1000 most common words in English'. 


The morning comes quickly because Lemon has slept like a rock. He wakes up remembering his dream: an effortless glide through golden gates guided by angles and eagles.

“Mum, dad, I need to talk to you,” says Lemon. “I’m leaving… I’m going to go find this paradise. I need to see it for myself. I want to feel the soil between my toes and taste the unknown insects.” 

His parents are quiet for a moment. They see in his eyes that this is very important, and they only want what is best for their child. 

His mother speaks first. “You are a sweet child, little Lemon. You have a wonderful mind, brave and curious. You know you’re always welcome here. Our nest is always open.” 

“Mum, of course I’m coming back! I love you two so much and this is my home.” 

Lemon’s father says, “It has been said that there comes a point in a bird’s life when he needs to go beyond the mountains… It happened to my father and my father’s father, but never for me. That time never came. I grew up during the worst winter in known history. I had to work and sacrifice—there was no time for adventures… so, go on, Lemon. Get out there and live your life!” 

“You are the best parents a bird could ever wish for!” 

And with those words, the family hugs, a long hug which, even though freezing winds rip past them, seems to warm them to their very bones.
