An Antique Dish
A man walked into an antique shop, glanced lazily at the counter, and was about to leave. Suddenly, he saw it: by the entrance, a cat was drinking milk. From an ancient dish... and the dish – none other than Tutankhamun's! 7th century BCE! 💰
The man returned to the shopkeeper:
– Excuse me, I'm a lonely man, I live without friends. Your cat caught my eye. Could you give her to me?
– No, no. My children love her so much.
– Well, I'm so lonely. I'll give you 10 dollars for her.
– No, no, she's not for sale.
Finally, they settled on 100 dollars. The man was leaving, already at the door he turned back:
– Your cat must be used to drinking from this dish, can I take this dish?
– No, no.
– I'll give you 10 dollars for the dish.
– No...
– How about 20?
– Well, you know, this is Tutankhamun's, 7th century BCE... I've already sold 87 cats like her. 😺

🛡️ How to Fight Temptations 🛡️
Identify the triggers that lead to breaking promises:
You need to be honest with yourself and admit what prompts undesirable behavior. Then it will be easier for you to deal with temptations. In what situations do you always regret what you've done? For example, you know that once you open a bag of chips at home, you won't stop until you've finished the whole pack. Be honest with yourself about it. 💭
Preclude temptations in advance:
Everyone likes to believe they have enough willpower. However, success can guarantee the exclusion of temptations from sight. To put an end to an extreme lifestyle, sometimes you need to resort to radical methods. Start by trying to live without alcohol in the house for a month, or not buying sweets, or undergoing a 30-day digital detox. 🚫
Set long-term goals and tie them to the present moment:
Sometimes it's impossible to eliminate temptation. Then it's worth focusing on long-term goals. Perhaps you don't see anything wrong with living for momentary pleasures, but such a lifestyle can harm you in the future. 🎯

The parable of the worthy person 🫡
One person began publicly insulting Omar Khayyam:
You godless person! You drunkard! You incompetent!
In response to this, Khayyam just smiled and loudly said:
I am ready to agree with your words... on the condition that you yourself are a worthy person.
And he turned to the people nearby:
Do you agree to call this person worthy?
No! - said the people around. - If he were a worthy person, he wouldn't speak ill of others. 😊

Psychological tricks for everyday life 😊
1️⃣People remember best what happened at the beginning and end of the day, and everything that happens between these points is perceived vaguely. So, when scheduling meetings, try to be the first or last on the list of candidates. 📅
2️⃣When a group of people bursts into laughter, everyone instinctively looks at the person they like the most. By the way, it's an excellent way to detect office romances. 😄
3️⃣If you want an honest answer to a question, and the person dodges it, pause, as qualified psychotherapists do. Take a moment of silence while still looking into the eyes of the person you're talking to. Usually, the person becomes uncomfortable and seeks to fill the silence. 🤔
4️⃣When you ask people for small favors, they begin to feel sympathy towards you. This is a psychological mechanism: we value those who have taken care of us at least once. ❤️
5️⃣If you feel like your boss is gearing up to criticize you during a meeting, sit directly next to them. Your immediate proximity will reduce their level of aggression. 😌
6️⃣Try to remember a person's name when you first meet them and use it in subsequent conversations. This will endear them to you. 🤝

Legend about Henry Ford's coat 🧥
Once, already being a millionaire, Henry Ford came to England on business. At the airport information desk, he asked about any cheap hotel, as long as it was nearby.
The clerk looked at him - his face was familiar. Newspapers often wrote about Ford. And here he stands - in a coat that looks older than himself, asking about a cheap hotel. The clerk asked uncertainly:
If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Henry Ford?
Yes, - he replied.
The clerk was surprised:
Recently, I saw your son at this counter. He ordered the most expensive room and was very concerned about the hotel being the best. And you're asking about a cheap hotel and wearing a coat that seems older than you. Are you really saving money?
Henry Ford, after a moment's thought, replied:
I don't need to stay in an expensive hotel because I don't see the point in overpaying for luxuries I don't need. Wherever I stay, I am Henry Ford. And I don't see much difference in hotels, because you can rest just as well in a cheap hotel as in the most expensive one. And about this coat - yes, you're right, my father wore it before, but it doesn't matter because even in this coat, I am still Henry Ford.
And my son is still young and inexperienced, so he's afraid of what people will think if he stays in a cheap hotel. But I don't worry about what others think of me because I know my true worth. And I became a millionaire because I know how to count money and distinguish real values from fake ones. 💰

The Secret of Success 🌟
—"Sir, what is the secret of your success?" asked the journalist to the successful entrepreneur. "I understand it's a long conversation, but could you summarize it?"
—"I can be brief... I can answer in two words."
—"Just two words? And what are they?"
—"Right decisions."
—"But how do you make the right decisions?"
—"One word is enough here."
—"Really? And what word is that?"
—"Experience!"
—"Ah... how do you gain that experience?"
Already laughing, the entrepreneur said:
—"Just two words."
—"And what are they?"

🌟 How to Deal with Anxiety at Work 🌟
Identify the possible cause:
Anxiety often shows up with increased heart rate, sweaty palms, chest tightness, concentration issues, or a stream of negative thoughts. To handle an episode, you need to understand what triggered it.
Try to find a simple solution:
Once you figure out what triggers these episodes, you can come up with a solution. For instance, if you're having trouble with a colleague, have a conversation and set boundaries. If your commute stresses you out, try a different route. Such solutions will help you feel like you're in control of your mental state.
When you feel anxiety creeping in, ask yourself two questions:
Develop a strategy to cope with the anxiety. "Find a calm place where you can 'reboot.' Take a moment alone to analyze your thoughts. Ask yourself two questions: 'How am I feeling right now?' and 'What happened today that led me to this state?'"
Consider the value of your work:
Perhaps it provides financial independence or your assistance makes clients' lives easier. "By remembering the value of your work, you'll be able to look at anxiety from a different perspective."

Elephants and ropes. 🐘
A little elephant is tamed to a rope. How? He is tied to a thick tree. Of course, the little elephant doesn't like it. He tries all his strength to break free. But he is still small... And the rope proves to be much stronger than all his efforts. The animal gets used to the idea that the rope is stronger than him.
Time passes.
The little elephant grows into a big elephant. Now, it seems, nothing can hold him. But...
But he is still tied with the same rope. The elephant no longer tests the rope's strength.
Does the same thing happen in people's lives? In childhood, we have little strength, little experience, no money. We depend on our parents and other adults, dependent on society? If we do something wrong, we face various punishments.
But now we are adults. We can stand up for ourselves. Move mountains, conquer any peaks... But... often we find ourselves bound by the same chains we have grown accustomed to throughout our lives. Isn't that so?
It's useful to reassess our limitations. To see what holds us back in this life, what prevents us from going where we want to go. 🤔

Things it's better to keep silent about, even if you're asked 😶
About other people's children:
Never discuss other people's children - unless their parents themselves initiated the conversation. And even then, it's very risky. And certainly never do it if you don't have children yourself. 🚸
About your private life:
Don't launch into a long story about your magical vacation, busy personal life, kitchen renovation, or boss's new antics. There's no faster way to clear a room at a party. 🎉
About past relationships:
Don't share details of past relationships with your current partner, even if they ask. Change the subject. 💔
About other people's work:
Don't exclaim joyfully upon learning that the person introduced to you is a lawyer or doctor. Trust me, they already know how it will end: you'll start telling them about your problems, sincerely believing that they'll take it as valuable experience for their own professional development... 🤫

How to learn critical thinking. 🤔
To reason soundly, analyze information, consider different viewpoints, draw fair conclusions, and find the best way out of complex situations - that's what it means to think critically. 💡
Thinking critically and finding solutions to complex situations is achievable if you:
Trust common sense more than emotions;
Evaluate the situation from different angles;
Approach alternative interpretations impartially;
Consider all evidence, explanations, and information;
Reevaluate information;
Set aside personal biases and prejudices;
Consider all possible options;
Avoid hasty conclusions.
Like any skill, it takes time, perseverance, and practice to master it. To acquire it,
you need to know what actions are needed and how to perform them. 🎓
A guide to critical thinking in problem-solving:
Identify the problem. First, make sure it exists. Sometimes, upon reflection, you may conclude that it's not a problem but a misunderstanding. If there is a problem, precisely determine what happened. 🤔
Analyze the problem. Once the problem is identified, examine it from all angles. Is it solvable? Is it real or apparent? Can you handle it on your own or do you need help? Sometimes, looking at the situation from a different angle can quickly find a solution. 💡
Brainstorm. Every problem can be solved in several ways. 💭
Make a list of possible solutions. Write down everything that comes to mind, then go through the list and choose the best option. Choose what fits best. Again, review your list of possible solutions. Different situations require different approaches. 📝
Act, execute the plan. For every problem, there is a solution, even if it's just accepting the situation and moving on. Instead of seeing difficulties and challenges as insurmountable obstacles, it's better to perceive them as opportunities - at least to sharpen critical thinking skills. 💪

Apples to the black spot. Legend of the best salesman. 🍎
Dumping all the hard work on newcomers is the policy of many companies. Somewhere, this ritual is called a probationary period.
But almost everyone practices it.
And the mailing company "Jay Walter Thompson" (JWT) was no exception.
A young manager, James Yang, joined them at work. At the same time, a batch of apples, damaged by frost and covered with black spots, arrived at the company. The fruits were intended for distribution to customers, but when the JWT management saw their condition, they were horrified.
Managers brainstormed what to do with the apples. And they decided to entrust the sale of the apples to the newcomer.
Let him taste the bitterness of rejections, negative letters, calls from angry customers.
But James handled the task. And not just handled it, but did it in such a way that there were no returns at all.
Yang sent the apples to customers, accompanying each shipment with a letter:
"Pay attention to these spots. They indicate that the apples are grown in the mountains, with sharp temperature fluctuations. Thanks to this, the apples acquire their characteristic juiciness, sweetness, and aroma. If it turns out that everything we've said doesn't match reality, you can send all the goods back."
Of course, none of the customers returned the apples to James Yang. Moreover, almost all orders for apples from the next harvest were accompanied by a note: "Send them this time with spots too." 🌟🍎

How to bring what you started to completion and gain energy. 🌟
It's important to be able to properly define goals and tasks:
if something can be finished now, there's no need to postpone it; a goal that cannot be achieved in the near future should be broken down into several sub-goals, each of which can be accomplished within a reasonable timeframe. 📅
As much as possible, complete them one by one, deriving satisfaction from the results, even though the main task is still pending. 😊
How to plan tasks correctly. 📝
There are several approaches to this issue: making plans for the day, week, month, year, and executing them, adjusting the list of goals if necessary; prioritizing tasks in each situation and addressing them, while handling other tasks spontaneously as they arise. ⏳
How to learn to finish tasks? You need to break them down into stages and systematically close them. If something doesn't work out, understand the reason. Ask yourself why you don't want to do it, what steps you're taking to complete what you started? What's the next step you plan to take? 🚀
Answers to these questions may reveal an unexpected truth — perhaps, the task you've taken on is unnecessary. It doesn't align with your life goals and desires, it requires too much effort disproportionate to the result, or it's irrelevant. In that case, it's okay, and even preferable, not to finish it. 🙌

Happiness is sailing on a ship. ⛵
One sultan sailed with his favorite servant on a ship. The servant, who had never been to sea before, sat in an empty cabin, screaming in fear, complaining, and crying. Everyone tried to calm him down. But words of sympathy did not reach his heart. The servant's constant cries eventually ruined the lord's journey. So the court physician asked the sultan for permission to calm the servant. The sultan immediately agreed.
The physician ordered the sailors to throw the servant into the sea! And they gladly complied with the order, as they were happy to get rid of the unbearable screamer. The servant flailed his legs, gasped for air, clung to the ship's wall, and begged to be taken back on board. They pulled him out by the hair, and he quietly sat in the corner. Surprised, the sultan asked the physician:
What wisdom was hidden behind this action?
The physician replied:
Your servant did not yet realize the danger that water could pose. Therefore, he could not know the happiness of feeling the solid planks of the deck under his feet and being on a ship.
And the servant sat contentedly in the corner. He looked at the clouds and the sun. There was a happy smile on his face. 😊🌊

How to understand what you want? 😊
In choosing a profession, you will need to carefully assess your aspirations, interests, and the area where most of your energy is focused. In other words, find the occupation that "fills" you. Once you understand what your soul desires, you can pursue education that allows you to further develop your strengths.
Be prepared that the education you receive and what a person ultimately starts doing, what they find themselves in, often do not coincide. Don't be afraid to "make mistakes" by learning something that isn't right for you. Education can always be "adjusted" by obtaining additional education according to the demands of life and your new interests. Try starting to work in some field that seems interesting to you, in any capacity: as an intern, secretary, assistant. But in a way that allows you to assess whether your ideas about this sphere match reality. 😊
