All our desires come true. It's a law of nature.
If you want to eat a lot, in your next life you will be a pig.
If you want to make sex a lot, in your next life you will be a cat.

My obsession is cars, war jeeps, sport cars, racing cars. I can't help turning my head when I see something really stylish, stupendous. I feel like a man when he sees some chic, long-legged blonde with an hour-clock figure and dressed in revealing gear.

When I was 5 I dreamt of riding hu-u-u-u-ge trucks, going on long distance trucking.
My recurring dream is that I'm riding across the bridge in a chic red sportcar and having an accident. I'm used to such dreams
But my recent one startled me. I was a hummer. I felt being a hummer. I felt that a man inside me was pressing the break then steping on a gas and then again...
And I like that dream, that feeling.
Perhaps I should apply for a help.
All our dreams come true sooner or later.

I think a man who believes in God is not seeking the Truth.
He is seeking the Belief. The only thing I don’ t understand is if he really thinks God to be Truth. If so he is miserable.
I’m turning to be miserable myself.

Happiness

How to be happy?
Happiness inevitably comes to a man who realizes the need in studying regularities and rules of his life.
How often it is so, that everything happening to us seems to be accidental. And you go through these so-called “accidents” from year to year. For example, many people suffer from loneliness and misunderstanding on the part of those around them. Not knowing how to help themselves, people suffer loneliness and rely on a miracle for many years running.
I guess life will be much happier if we just understand that there are not accidents in this world. It is unlikely that anybody can change his life, just thinking that everything happening to him is a mere TEMPORARY misfortune.
If we don’t respect laws influencing our life, well… there is no point in trying to change something; there is no point in life itself. If everything is accidental, how you can think of you future and make plans.
All the disasters in your life are regularities. Regularities are resulted from laws of nature. So what can you change in your life without knowledge of these laws of nature? Nothing.
But who can teach me these laws?
After many years of disbelief I’m turning to religion.

How did you come to discover this blog? What is it for you???

I did it only because our english teacher (www.galacticlove.blogspot.com) suggested that writing a diary in enlish would improve and deepen our knowledge of the language.

CV lies

Nick is a teacher at an English language school in Tokyo. Nick is also deceiving his employers. On his arrival in Japan eight years ago he obtained what he expected to be a temporary job teaching English by claiming he had a degree from Oxford University. He backed up the claim with a false degree certificate obtained in Bangkok.
In reality Nick has one A level and no degree. He fabricated a university career because he felt that it would dramatically increase his chances of employment. He was right and Nick has no plans to return to the UK. Backed by his bogus qualification he is now, after eight years, the longest serving foreign teacher in his school.
Yet he admits it can be hard to live the lie. "Several years ago the school hand-picked me to accompany a group of students to Oxford on the basis that I knew the city well because I had spent three years studying there. In reality I had been there once for the weekend to visit some friends. Yet I had to maintain the charade: to come clean now would be unthinkable," he says.
Getting a job can be highly stressful and candidates feel pressure to enhance their achievements to present themselves in the most favorable light.
Certainly lying on CVs is on the increase. I think as many as a quarter of job seekers deviate from the truth on their CV. The common distortions include bogus or exaggerated qualifications, changing the dates of employment to hide career gaps and exaggerating the pay received in a previous job.
Every job-hunter faces the challenge of presenting their qualifications and past experience with as positive a gloss as possible. So just where does harmless exaggeration end and outright deception begin? It is a difficult question to answer, just as it is hard to define what are company perks and what is simple theft.
While exaggeration is widespread and generally accepted, it is unwise to resort to outright lies. This is not merely moral advice, it is also expedient. Outright lies such as qualifications or invented jobs will work against you.
At best, the cost of lying to future employers is the embarrassment of being found out. At worst, it can cost you the job. Under the terms of the contract of employment, prospective employees are required to tell the truth.
A CV acts as a personal history form and if a job offer is made on the basis of information contained in a CV that the employer believes to be correct, then the employer is legally entitled to withdraw the job offer if they discover the CV contains false information.
Take the example of a young man recently employed by a major household goods manufacturing company, who discovered this the hard way.
He joined the company claiming his previous salary to be 25% higher than it actually was. Yet when the payroll system processed the tax details from his former employer the deceit was uncovered. Four hours after arriving at his desk he was marched from the building.
In Deception in Selection, Walley and Smith put forward the theory that job candidates often fabricate an element of their CV in the belief that it will only be a short-term measure. Yet, if not discovered early on, they find it hard to turn back the clock and escape their deception.

My personal hero

Everybody chooses his or her personal hero in accordance with his or her personal values. We admire features that we want to have, that we lack in most cases. And what is more important any hero must not only possess these features but also constantly master them to perfection, to the extend that can be amazing and impossible for anybody else.
What do I want to have to succeed in this life? What features do I think to be compulsory to live happily? That is the question that everybody is to ask himself.
For me the answer is: strong beliefs, steady views, love to people around you and positive attitude to life.
And if you think that it was easy for me to find my personal hero you are very, very wrong. The catch is you have to look for these traits in people around you, not in the beautiful, rich people shown on TV. You have to seek for these traits in the souls of the nearby people. Is it easy to meet a guy with strong belief and steady views today in out age of changes and corrupted morals? It’s not easy I think, but I managed to do it. So my hero is a man whom I see very often now, and in my heart of hearts I’m proud of it.
He is very young and he hasn’t done anything special so far. I’m sure he will. But that’s not the point.
It’s very difficult for me to describe him, because my opinion is based on experience, on communication with that man. And you know that it is deeds that can say everything about a man.
The first thing that I admire is his strong beliefs and steady views. He is the most logical guy I’ve met. I could hardly think that belief in God can make such influence on a man. Firstly the choice of his religion seemed a bit strange to me. He believes in Krishna. Before I’ve met him I had very negative attitude to all religions, no matter whether it was traditional or not. Religion was something I was terribly afraid of. I imagined that a guy believing in god must be something like boring nuisance always preaching about his beloved God. He was different. He didn’t impose his belief on people. And it was startling. The first thing he changed in me was my conventional abhorrence to religion. He is man performing all man’s duties. He does what he should do. But do you often meet a man doing what he should do??? The way he lives, works, studies, socializes with his friends and especially the way his friends adore him made me study his philosophy more precisely.
For the first time in my life I’ve seen a family really based on love, reverence and common belief. His family is a family in the strict sense of the word. Then I understood that it was something I want to create now.
His love to people is simply indescribable. Sometimes he jeers, laughs at me, and it was driving me mad before I understood that he just couldn’t think badly about me, about anybody. And I want to possess this attitude to people, this love.
And the last thing is his positive attitude to life. Just one example. Once he was out to wash the car. It was late already and it was dark. I was standing nearby, talking to him. I mentioned that it was too dark to do this kind of job. And I said that the next day his father would reproach him for missing a spot of dirt. Ilya just said that his father would be very glad that he had missed ONLY ONE spot of dirt. All I want is to learn how to treat life in this way. How to see white things and ignore black and dirty things. And Ilya is perfect at this.
He is my hero, because he possesses the features I want to have. He is my teacher because he teaches me how I can obtain these traits. And he is my idol because I think we are on the different levels of intellectual development, and every time he descends to talk to me (although he doesn’t think so, and that makes him even more saint to me)

Is it justifies to compare Russia and the USA?

Once I heard a very interesting point of view: your attitude to the world – positive or negative - depends on your profession. People with economic education are very optimistic about everything. They think that all you have to do is to set monopolies here and there, to raise prices for certain products and you country will prosper. People who got historical education on the contrary are negative in their opinion. Guided by their deep knowledge of history, with much experience of our ancestors at their fingertips they can tell you: “You know, 50 years ago the situation was the same and then it didn’t work out”.
I like history myself, and though I don’t consider myself to be pessimistic I can’t help being cynical about Russia. I’m one of those people who think that Russia has a very peculiar, special purpose. Russia is destined to show civilized countries how not to do. That’s why I don’t like it to be compared to other countries, and especially to the USA. I’m not subjective; I just think we are completely different in our traditions and history. Perhaps the USA is partly socialistic today but it doesn’t mean Russia is going the same way. Making comparison between these countries is the same as making comparison between 2-year old boy who only recently began to learn what the good and the bad is and a mature man who is already very set in his ways. America is a child that is beginning to get new experience, but Russia is an adult already with its long-lived traditions and habits and the longer traditions are the more difficult it is to change them and to develop new beneficial ones (take the example China and India, their patriarchal basis prevented these states from further development for ages).
The USA is very adventurous. It’s their tradition to be adventurous. It was discovered and occupied by adventurous people from the outset. And still it’s like a child that can’t decide for itself yet what is better. I think that’s why it’s jumping from socialism to capitalism and then back again.
Russia is a country that is used to do away with past once and for all. It was a very difficult decision to put an end to the socialism, but we did it. Socialism as a system is rotten and it took Russia 40 years to realize that it’s not possible to change something without extirpating the main reason. So I’m absolutely sure that this system will never be back to Russia.

Changes in Russia

Present changes:
On coming of Putin the position of Russia on the international scene has changed in the first few years. I guess Putin is one of those people whose name will be recorded in Russia's history just as Vitte's and Stolypin's and that is quite obvious because all of them possess the same characteristics: diplomatic abilities, physical charm, indomitable will expected of someone who is in charge of the country V.V. Putin made other nations listen to Russia, not disregarding it. For the first time in many years people are not ashamed of their president.
But our access to international affairs, our influence on the international scene do not imply that Russia is flourishing. Our domestic affairs allow me to talk about stagnation era, prosperity of oligarchy and monopoly. Take for example the compulsory insurance of the cars. After two years of this nightmare the insurance companies enrich themselves on 661 billion dollars, only 64 millions of this vast sum of money went to government. And presently the State Duma began to think over passing a new bill concerning compulsory insurance of real estate. That's it! That's where they are going to snatch a large sum! Isn't it time to understand that people in Russia are treated as the rabble, the cattle. Our country is changing rapidly in the way of building supermarkets, elite real estate, the tube, mending roads, establishing businesses and monopolies, but I'm not sure we are going the right way about changing our country. As the old saying goes: "The state is judged by the way it treats the old and the disabled". A real prosperous country is marked out by its good social setting. Do I have to say that Russia is far from it? And it causes one more process in Russia: braindrain (judging by the past Olympics it is also "forcedrain", if I can say so). Now we begin to see the results of this migration: as we are gathering points on the international scene, we are losing points in the way of technology, sport. The "authorities" feed sportsmen and scientists with inspiring speeches about "debt before motherland" and patriotism, while investing huge sums in Swiss banks.
Prediction
These thoughts about Russia affected my forecast for the next 3 years. Judging by the number of cars we see on the streets and the number of traffic jams, authorities will have to widen some main streets and mend roads, but it will not help: traffic jams will be more and more customary. New plasma screens will be set up in the center of the city (perfect places are crossroads near the Trade Center and Crystal). Perhaps the Tube Bridge will be finished, but not tube itself. And, it goes without saying a lot of new stores and some supermarkets.
Perhaps Omsk will become a rich town, a hub of oil trade, but I hope to leave Russia by that time. Because anyway concentration of oil traders in one city will force people working in social services leave Omsk, because not everybody will be able to afford living in such rich city.
Conclusion
I'd like to round up my essay with the words of my favourite correspondent Vladimir Solovjev: "The russians is a great people. But they were unlucky to be born in Russia".
For authorities it is time that they learn not only to promise, or shout "Down with!", but also time to bear serious responsibility for the current events going on in Russia, events which could be beneficial or harmful to the increase of democracy in our country.

My first day here

Self-confidence means everything. It was strange to see posters saying "I am the best here", "I'm always going to perfection", "My salary is 1500-2500$".
