Life is tough, and people get hurt very badly. So if you want to win, you have to be tough as flint and be willing to work with your elbows and fists.

5 types of lies used by all women

1. I'm not mad at you.
But this is very dangerous! Don't think it will be that easy for you to resolve the situation. This is one of the most common types of female lies in relationships. It's a phrase that provides emotional protection to a woman if she's (not) intentionally offended. If you forget her birthday, you hurt her. Although you wouldn't understand it, it's very important and it's not easy to get over. To be fair, if you look closely, little things will give her away. She's lying because she doesn't want to think about it.

2. I don't mind you going to the strip bar with your friends.
You've been given permission to have a real bachelor party that includes a visit to a strip bar, so you can show off your super girlfriend to all your friends. But wait, think again ... If something sounds too good to be true, it's probably not true. Any woman is unhappy when her man goes to look at other naked women.
This type of lie is similar to the previous one. The woman wants to give the appearance that she doesn't care and is not jealous. The truth is the opposite: women are extremely belligerent when it comes to their men, especially against very sexy rivals. In addition, women prefer to be the center of attention themselves and the fact that you chose your male friends over them doesn't just make them happy.

3. I'm not ready for a further relationship right now.
This statement is, in most cases, a lie. It may be said in good faith, but it continues to be a lie. In addition to her usual excuses, such as: "I just got out of a failed relationship" or "I'm focused on my career." But the truth is quite simple-if an available woman is interested in you, she will find time to meet you. This lie is in addition to the many excuses used to get out of unpleasant situations.

Another example: "I don't want to hurt you."
Hidden in the shadow of this lie is the fact: I am not interested. 4. I don't mind paying the bill today. If you ask a woman out on a date, you should at least offer to pay the bill. If she yells and grudgingly refuses, let her pay. If you let her pay, she will immediately think you are a cheapskate.

If you ask a woman out on a date, you should at least offer to pay the bill.
If she yells and grudgingly refuses, let her pay. But if her protest is mild and rather formal, be sure to pay yourself, or she will quickly walk away from you. 5. it was unbelievable! This lie belongs in the sexual category.

He slid, he climbed, he fell, he rose, he found his way and persevered - that's all. That is the secret of all victory.

Never say the following nine phrases

We often use phrases that provoke conflict, not out of malice - scientists call them conflictogens. To keep peace in the family and at work, psychologists recommend replacing them with more neutral ones.
Add to the wall so you don't forget.

1. "It's not part of my duties," "I don't get paid for it." The most common excuses from work. In 99% of cases, they cause irritation with the manager and show him your indifference. So it is much better to answer: "I have a lot of tasks today. Which one should I do first?".

2. "I don't have time to talk to you", "I'm busy". Such answers are a sign of bad parenting. It would be ethical to say, "I apologize, but we are in the middle of an urgent meeting, and I have to go. Let's call and discuss your problem next time," or "Let's discuss it in an hour: I'm just finishing up a case.

3. "This may sound silly, but..." This kind of "introduction" inherently calls into question the validity of whatever you're about to say. Forbid yourself from uttering that phrase.

4. "No offense, but ..." This sounds like a warning that something unpleasant will follow. So you give yourself a setup that your partner perceived your speech exactly as offensive. So as soon as you feel that this phrase is about to explode from your lips - change the subject.

5. "Oh, how you've gained weight!" or even "Oh, how you've lost weight!" Weight is a touchy subject for many people. People don't easily accept the changes that happen to their bodies, so comments like that can really ruin their mood. Instead, it's better to say, "You look amazing!"

6. "You look good at your age." This phrase sounds like a reminder of age, and can be interpreted as, "Compared to other old people, you look more or less tolerable." Say simply, "You look great."

7. "You're in your repertoire." Try not to put labels on it. Instead of conflicting phrases, you can say, "I'm upset that you left the dishes in the sink again. What can we do to make sure it doesn't happen again?" By using the pronoun "I," you emphasize how you feel, not that your partner is bad. This will be an incentive for him to fix the problem bothering you.

8. "If you really loved me, you would...". By saying this phrase, you're not just manipulating your partner, but you're letting him know that his attitude toward you is not okay with you. It is unlikely to contribute to a strong bond between you. A better way to put it is, "I would feel better if we could...". The best way to keep the relationship productive is to simply explain why you are upset and then offer a solution.

9. "You were too good for him," "I'm glad you got rid of her." Even if you are trying to comfort someone after breaking up with their partner, they may take the phrase as an insult to their taste and evidence of an inability to understand people.

Never give up!

One day a farmer's donkey fell down a well. He screamed in fear, calling for help. The farmer came running in and spluttered, "How do you get him out?"

Then the donkey's owner reasoned, "My donkey is old. He ain't got long to go. I was going to get a new young donkey anyway. And the well is almost dry anyway. I've been meaning to bury it and dig a new well somewhere else for a long time. So why not do it now? I'll bury the donkey, too, so you can't smell the decay.

He invited all his neighbors to help him bury the well. Everyone grabbed a shovel and started to throw earth into the well. The donkey immediately understood what was going on and started making a screeching noise. And suddenly, to everyone's surprise, he fell silent. After a few tosses of the earth, the farmer decided to see what was down there.

He was amazed at what he saw there. Every piece of earth that fell on his back, the donkey shook it off and kicked it. Very soon, to everyone's amazement, the donkey appeared at the top - and jumped out of the well!

..You will encounter a lot of dirt in life, and every time life will send you more and more of it. Whenever a lump of dirt falls, shake it off and climb up and that is the only way you can get out of the well.

Each problem that arises is like a rock to cross on a creek. If you don't stop and give up, you can get out of any deepest well.

I love crazy people, the kind who madly want to live, madly want to talk, madly want to save themselves, who want to have it all at once, who never yawn and never say platitudes, but always burn, burn, burn!

Jack Kerouac

A world of 100 people

If only 100 people lived on the entire earth, 57 of them would be from Asia, 21 from Europe, 14 from the entire American continent, and 8 from Africa. 52 would be women, 48 would be men, 30 would be white, and 70 would belong to other races. There would be 30 Christians, 23 Muslims, and 47 of other religions. There would be 89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexuals. 6 people would own 59% of all its wealth, all of whom would be North Americans. 80 would live in extreme poverty. 70 could not read, 50 were regularly malnourished. 1 person would die every day, 1 would be born. 1 person would have a college education and only 1 would have a computer.

If you wake up tomorrow morning healthy rather than sick, you are very lucky compared to the million people who won't make it through the week.

If you've never fought in a battle, never suffered the pains of starvation, torture, loneliness and imprisonment, you're lucky compared to the 500 million people who have experienced it all.

If you can practice your religion without the risk of persecution, arrest, torture, and death, your 3 billion contemporaries in the world can't boast the same.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes, and a roof over your head, you are richer than 75% of the world's people. And if you have a bank account, or at least some cash in your wallet, you are one of the 8% of the world's chosen prosperous people.

If your parents are still alive and, moreover, still divorced, you are a rare fortunate person, the likes of which are rare even in Canada and the United States.

If you have read this information on your own, it sets you apart from the 2 billion people of today who can't read.
