And to say good-bye in a good way, I tell you a wonderful story:

During the war the Germans in a concentration camp taunted prisoners and forced them to carry bricks from one pile to another. And then back again. Many could not withstand this monotonous work and ended up committing suicide. Once in the camp came an architect and he began to fold instead of a heap of bricks different shapes: pyramids, palaces, castles, etc. The Germans were shocked when the prisoners did not simply drove trucks, they fled. They wanted to see what new figure awaits them at this time. It is clear that none of the prisoners did not think of suicide again.

Psychiatrists on bank notes.

For many years there is a custom to put the image of national heroes on the bills, so there are images of four psychiatrists. Sigmund Freud (1856-1940), his image you may find on modern Austrian banknotes in denominations of 50 shillings. After studying medicine at the University of Vienna, he later worked in Paris under Charcot. Based on the numerous experiences recounted to Freud by his patients, he formulates the concept of sexual fantasies. In 1902, Freud and his friends organize a psychological circle, which meets weekly to discuss relevant scientific issues. In 1909, this group establishes the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, which becomes the International Psychoanalytical Association in 1912. In 1923, Freud published his work "Nhe Ego and Id".
Benjamin Rush (1745-1813), his picture appeared on the back side of the 2-dollar bills in 1976. He received the title of Bachelor of Arts in 15 years and became a doctor of medicine in 1768. He published several medical papers, and treatises against slavery. Between 1789 and 1796, he received three titles of professor of medicine. His last book, "Medical research and surveillance of diseases of the brain", published in 1812 was the first work in the field of psychiatry, established in the United States.
Auguste Henri Forel (1848-1931),image of this psychiatrist can be found on the modern Swiss banknotes in 1000 francs. He is the most famous and progressive Swiss psychiatrist of the 19th century. Forel was the first scientist who prepared a psychological picture of the human brain, and later gave a precise description of the hypothalamus, one of the divisions of which was named "campus Foreli". In 1879 he was promoted to Professor of Psychiatry, Medical Faculty, University of Zurich, and introduced the systematic teaching of forensic psychiatry. In 1888, Forel has made compulsory the teaching of psychiatry at the medical faculty.
Julius Wagner Jauregg (1857-1940). Face the Austrian psychiatrist, appeared on 500-shiling banknote of National Bank in 1953. He received his medical degree in 1890 at the Vienna University. Jauregg became a professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Graz in 1889, and four years later he moved to Vienna. In 1917, he proposed malaria therapy as a treatment for progressive paralysis to very unstable patients and by this saved thousands of lives. Wagner von Jauregg deservedly received the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1927.

How do people become drug addicts?

One of the characteristics of nowadays and a significant cause of drug addiction and alcoholism - the widest expansion of various substances that can give a person a temporary pleasure. Some drugs can cause physical dependence (for example, opium, heroin, etc.), in which the body can not live without the drug, some psychological, but anyway, the termination of the use of these substances can cause withdrawal syndrome that is, the special psychological and physical condition of the body, sometimes leading to death. Use of certain drugs may lead to the development of tolerance, when the body becomes resistant to their effects, which require ever-increasing doses.

Reasons why people begin using drugs are different, but most often it is the desire to escape the doldrums, to leave the cruel and indifferent world, in its own artificially created paradise. It is not accidental that in most cases these are young people who see no other way out of their problems. One reason for initiation to alcohol and drugs is "bad family”, where education is provided either by only one parent, or where there are this atmosphere, down in the house: lack of emotional closeness and trust between family members. Mostly juveniles are beginning to use drugs from families in which children and teenagers are left for themselves.

Adults are so busy clarifying the relationship that they don’t have enough time for the child. However, this is not the only reason. There are drug-addicted families where one or both parents suffer from alcoholism or drug addiction. The probability of initiation to bad cravings for children from such families is increased by twice. Children of drug addicts is not only very early attached to the narcotic effect, but also begin their lives with drugs of the most severe forms of drug addiction - the use of household chemicals. But no less dangerous for initiation to alcohol and drugs other minor conditions in the family. Where child is watched over and supervised, monitored his every move, not giving the slightest opportunity to show independence. These children make even those actions which they understand "wrong", "no good", simply because they can not refuse.

Now, let’s speak about “normal” families, where parents just drink sometimes. In this case, child associate alcoholic drinks on the table with the atmosphere of celebration, fun in the house. Connection with that drinks seems attractive, as it helps to become more like a father and his friends - strong, brave, adult. This is the first their acquaintance with alcohol. Of course, not necessarily that it will inevitably lead to the formation of drug dependence. The problem of drug abuse in recent years is not just youth, but also teenage problem. Today, every second student aged 13 to 15 years at least once was proposed to taste drugs.

Approximately one third of them took advantage of this proposal. One of the factors for the early initiation to drug addiction - age psychological features of children and adolescents. The most disadvantaged in this respect are children and adolescents with unstable type of character, as well as striving to be the center of attention of others. For the sake of popularity they are ready to make even those actions that their soul does not approve. An introduction to drugs for them often has no independent significance, and is used in just for "their own glory." And teens can highly exaggerate their drug experience, portraying the experienced addict in order to attract attention.

Use your time effectively!

All of you had such situation. There is a clear period of time (for example, five days), and a precise list of tasks (for example, choosing a wallpaper for the room, or to find some movie on ebay, or learning 50 foreign words) that must be done during this period. Everything is clear, but the time goes on, and in the end of this period, we understand with displeasure, that not all list was done. What happened? Where goes the time?
Such situations are not uncommon in our personal life, at work, at rest, in any area of our activities. Much of this dissatisfaction is based on the fact that we squeeze into a modest amount of time a significant number of cases, make unrealistic plans. If you look at this situation more soberly, you can avoid disappointment at the unjustified loss of personal and others' time. For example, you have 6 hours on the development of a specific project. Arrange the stages of job depending on priority. Now imagine your typical working day and determine how much time you are using on start of the project. If, say, it is one third of the time, then the actual time that you can work on a task will be equal to four hours.
Also note that the time needed for a switch from starting phase to work equals in average eight minutes. How many times do you go out for a smoke break while working? For example, suppose you go out ten times throughout the day, that means 80 minutes. Subtract the 80 minutes from four hours and you get a little more than two hours of really working time. Compare this time with the initial six hours of working time. Now it is clear why you do not have time to perform the necessary volume of work in a period of time. Understand this fact and you will avoid disappointment and resentment because of the fact that you can’t do the work in the allotted time.
To increase efficiency, we need to reduce unproductive expenditure of time. What about breaks? Can I install a voice mail instead of continuous responses to the calls? If you need to call in several places, call turns in a short period of time, not delaying it for a whole day. What about email? Group similar tasks, if they do not require immediate solutions. Now once again do remember about available two hours and slowly go through the list of tasks requiring the execution in this period. Now, when you are already know how much time is available to you, you can rearrange things and during those 2 hours of work with the greatest productivity. Such a simple way to improve the efficiency of your work will help you safely plan your life, fulfill promises, and be a happy man.

Living in a hurry …

Big city ... People live in a hurry ... All people are running somewhere ... not noticing the beauty that surrounds them, which attracts so many foreigners ... The main task of these people - to be in time. All wicked, dreamy and indifferent ... Why is this happening? From the fact that this is a big city? Or from the fact that we are becoming part of this “machine”? Maybe it is better to stop?
Life is not a movie. You can’t press pause or rewind. You have to understand that the each of us has only one life! And we must live it so as not to regret anything! Of course, everyone may have run of bad luck, but if there was nothing sad, whom would we become? We must learn to be happy! We should rejoice at good fortune of others, do not hesitate to show our love for friends, forget about the hatred and remember the sympathy, not envy.
Perhaps it's naive. But if everyone wakes up in the morning, smiles to himself, and having come to work - sincerely smiles to colleagues - no one will be worse and it is not so hard!
I suppose it is worth of trying!
