It wants to help people in anything, what really are the problems that need to all and that most often complain about. And what all the complaining in our time? What our fellow citizens are saying as actively as the English - about the weather? A favorite subject of conversation in recent years is, of course, price.
Moreover, they differ in the same variety and variability, as well as the English weather.
So today we will talk about money matters, the difficulties of the family budget, earnings and savings opportunities. Here we try to give some fairly universal tips to help those who have financial difficulties delivering really serious concern.
We really are living through difficult times, and many barely make ends meet, so that the constant complaints of poverty can be understood. Understand, but do not justify it. Unfortunately, often the idea of lack of money captures the man so that it becomes almost the main content of his life.
He fixed on her, and she is circulating in his mind, not allowing to concentrate on productive activities. Such people are so accustomed to being poor, even if it happens suddenly rich, he quickly gets rid of any wealth, or (more commonly) just continues to consider themselves poor, and complain of poverty - pearl chalk. But he does not just complain, but continues to suffer!
To some extent, this phenomenon is caused by the practice of soviet life, when we were in the position of asylum and each had the greater chance of success than the more miserable, orphaned, and he looked miserable. Needless to say that the masks have a tendency to grow to face? But now conditions have changed fundamentally.
Now, everyday people's economy is not the petitioner and the seller - a commodity, labor skills. But if the seller looks unhappy, then his deeds are bad, then goods - rubbish! So that by fixing on the failures you close its way to the top. We can say that the usual talk about the exorbitant prices have become a convenient distraction.
People spend time raising their self-esteem. But if you're looking to change your position if you want to look reality in the eye, you have to admit that it's fun senseless and harmful. If it is too expensive to you - keep them engaged, and if not:
It is appropriate to recall Reinhold Niebuhr's famous prayer: "Give me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage - to change the things I can and the wisdom to distinguish them from one another."
These words expressed the idea brilliantly constructive position. You assess the situation and calling all his wisdom, decide that it is up to you, and that - no. The fact that you are not independent, you take for granted, as a condition of the game. That is something you can work, you do your goal, and evaluate the results of their efforts.
You may not like the location of the spots on the moon, or the fact that men are mortal, but wasting time on condemnation of these events, at least not reasonably. If you do not like that in the winter in Moscow is too cold, it must either accept this fact, or to move to Yalta.
If you do not like the political situation around you - you must either do political activity or to take the situation for granted and act within it.
In other words, does not present itself helpless victim of poverty.
Your poverty is the most you have created yourself, not someone else, and as long as you'll see yourself not to those who do, and those with whom do you continue to play their poverty and suffer from it. Therefore:
Take a proactive stance!
To take action, well-evaluate their resources. Spend the "inventory" of the advantages and opportunities. It can be:
1. Education, skills - languages, driving, etc. Do not lose sight of what seems to be an afterthought, do not be afraid to throw a specialty, which was considered the main, because it has invested too much effort. Remember that people change their profession in mid-life, are more resistant to stress in the elderly. Pay attention to the diplomas and certificates that you may have accumulated for life. Even the identity of the young projectionist ten years ago in your favor - a sign of initiative.
2. Personality characteristics. It is difficult to evaluate yourself, but if you know you are endowed with charm, then try and use it. Communication skills, reliability, self-confidence, tolerance of others - all of this is your capital, which can help you. Pay attention to the weakness. No wonder Balzac said: "Recognizing our weakness, man becomes stronger."
3. Material resources - an apartment or room, garage, car, garden, telephone - all could be the means of production, tool earnings. We're not talking about the actual instrument - whether it is a sewing machine or a set of wrenches. Very valuable information because, once you have, for example, a typewriter, it probably is and typing skills and some interest in this case.
4. Contacts. Last, but not least. This is one of the most valuable resources. Gainful employment is almost always possible to receive only personal contacts. Community enriches you with information and can present unexpected design ideas. And you never know in advance what kind of help in dating life. Maintain old friendships and make new.
5. Among the familiar special note respected people, representatives of reputable organizations that may confirm your professional qualities and integrity. If you only knew what tricks are resourceful adventurers to get good advice, or at least their visibility! So if you have for someone to vouch - it is the capital. Evaluation of the resources is good by the fact that they know it's easier to do something for their replenishment - to learn something, to work on the character, to clean up the instruments.
So, to know what you have, coming into the fight:
