1. “No one is able to produce a great work of art without experience, nor achieve a worldly
position immediately, nor be a great lover at the first attempt; and in the interval between initial
failure and subsequent success, in the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are
at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation. We suffer because we cannot
spontaneously master the ingredients of fulfilment.”

Alain de Botton, in “The Consolations of Philosophy”

Success is very important in every person’s life. The statement above, which belongs to
the writer Alain de Botton, tells us that in order to succeed, we need to make every effort into it
and go through failure, pain, disappointment and humiliation. There is no path without obstacles.

Some people might think that success can be compared to luck. However, in my opinion,
this is not at all the case. To achieve good results in a certain activity, a person needs strong
leadership qualities. In addition, a lazy person cannot achieve success. Only fruitful and honest
work on achieving the set goal and on oneself leads to success. It is often very difficult to work
on the implementation of the task, but not a single goal is achieved without effort. The most
important component of success is commitment. A purposeful person is ready to realize the task,
no matter what.

When new difficulties arise in life, it is very important not to lose faith in yourself.
Sometimes the strength of a person's spirit manifests itself precisely in defeats and losses.
Mentally strong people almost always succeed in life. They can organize themselves, persistently
achieve what they want and do not lose heart when they fail. Failures only give more strength to
such people, and contribute to the achievement of new heights.

In conclusion, success undoubtedly plays an important role in the life of every person,
allowing him to feel his importance, opportunities and social status in society, and also, it serves
as a motivation for further development. Overcoming problems and any other obstacles, we gain
valuable experience and knowledge that we can pass on to other people. Those difficulties that
were overcome will not be encountered in our life.
2. “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you
can in two years by trying to make other people interested in you. “

Dale Carnegie

An integral part of the life of any person is nothing but friendship. From early childhood,
our friends have a great influence on us. At an early age there are always a lot of them. But we
begin to understand what true friendship and real friends are later. A friend must be sincere in his
feelings, there is no place for flattery and hypocrisy. Even when the truth can hurt, only a friend
will find the strength to say it in person, without concealing anything. Between friends there is
no place for envy and rivalry.

In my opinion, friendship is a fragile crystal bowl. It must be protected from careless

offensive words, from outbursts of irritation and anger. Of course, true friendship cannot be
broken by a simple quarrel or quarrel, but it is also not necessary to triple the tests for strength.

However, in the modern world, sincere and pure friendship is not so common, or rather,
extremely rare. For many, self-interest and the acquisition of benefits from friendship with a
particular person are more important. Such people constantly pretend to be your friend, and after
they get everything they wanted from you, they almost immediately disappear from the circle of
friends, and sometimes become enemies. In order to avoid such situations in life, you need to
carefully choose your friends.

In conclusion, I can conclude that it is not easy to be friends, but it is even more difficult
to live without friendship. Friendship brings the happiest moments in a person's life, which help
him in difficult life situations. It is necessary to value friends as the most precious treasure in the
world, one must respect the feelings of friends, because not everyone is given the opportunity to
experience a feeling of friendship.

3. It started with a headache... Every time I was going to go somewhere, I had to set
myself up for the best. Getting up in the morning in front of the mirror, I uttered the important
words for myself "you are the best", "you can do anything" "you have everything succeed" and
it helped to me. I left the house with a good attitude, self-confident, ready to go into battle to the
end. But everything is not so simple, in any incomprehensible situation, I had headaches at the
speed of light, which seemed to give a sign that the current situation was bad.

Everything went wrong, I couldn’t concentrate on important things, I was annoyed by any
sounds, I couldn’t be in the company, because every time I had a headache, I offended my
friends and relatives with my own words, I put pressure on them, pointed out on their
shortcomings. I was very sorry about this and asked for forgiveness more than once, but I
understood that I should stay away from people dear to me until the headaches went away.

One day when I was driving to work I met a young man who immediately attracted my
attention. I looked at how he thoughtfully reads a book and my head seemed to stop hurting.
When we got off the bus, we walked in the same direction. Then I lost sight of him. After 20
minutes at my workplace, I saw him again, it turned out that this was my new work colleague
here we met. He was always with a book in his hands.

My headache disappeared every time when I talked with this wonderful person admiring
his knowledge, politeness and sincerity.
