"

[Успешные люди] верят в причину и следствие. А не в удачу, как верят неудачники.

Как говорил мой папа, тому везет - кто сам везет.

Следствие - это то, что вы сегодня из себя представляете и чего вы добились в жизни сегодня. А причины - это то, что вы делали каждый день последние годы.

"

— Ю. М.

"

Тарелки, как грома раскаты.
Басуха, как смех Посейдона.
Мы – заводские ребята,
Но мы соберём стадионы!

Пускай планета танцует
Под наши железные трубы!
Пускай нас Фортуна целует
В горячие алые губы!

Поднимемся в темные небесные сферы,
Где солнечный ангел Метаттрон изливает путь пламенеющего меча.
Auferte malum ех vobis. Исторгнем зло из среды своей.
Я обнимаю врагов и целую друзей.

Тромбон – воплощение Зевса,
Труба – Артемиды творенье,
Да, мы родом из плебса.
Но ввысь нас несёт вдохновенье!!!

"

— Сергей Михалок

"Carving out a space for yourself online, somewhere where you can express yourself and share your work, is still one of the best possible investments you can make with your time. It’s why, after ten years, my first response to anyone just getting started online is to start, and maintain, a blog."

Here’s a bigger and cleaner version of the drawing I made the other day, which some people asked for. Unfortunately, my Illustrator and Photoshop skills, mixed with the fact that the pen I used sorta sucked, mean that the quality is still sorta crappy.

Human hippocampus stained with a method pioneered by Italian physician Camillo Gogli in 1873.
Golgi discovered a chemical reaction that allowed him to examine nervous tissue in much greater detail than ever before. For some reason, hardening a piece of brain in potassium dichromate, and subsequently dousing it with silver nitrate, dyed only a few cell bodies and their respective projections in the tissue sample, revealing their complete structures and exact arrangement within the unstained tissue. If the reaction had stained all the neurons in a sample, Golgi would have been left with an unfathomable black blotch, as though someone had spilled a bottle of ink. Instead, his technique yielded neat black silhouettes against a translucent yellow background.

In the book “Training the Emotional Brain” I describe 6 emotional styles are that are rooted in basic neuroscientific research. The 6 styles are:

1. Resilience: How rapidly or slowly do you recover from adversity?

2. Outlook: How long does positive emotion persist following a joyful event?

3. Social Intuition: How accurate are you in detecting the non-verbal social cues of others?

4. Context: Do you regulate your emotion in a context-sensitive fashion?

5. Self-Awareness: How aware are you of your own bodily signals that constitute emotion?

6. Attention: How focused or scattered in your attention?
