        “There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes.”

                      (Незрячі очі, проте всевидяче серце)

It was Friday just the next uninteresting and boring day of their life. They had been staying in that cramped ward with white walls for fifty days. Two old men who had a lot of problems with their health seemed desperately unhappy. Their beds were in different corners of the room. One of them had an impact on his neighbor because of lying close to window and having the opportunity to observe the quick life of the bustling city. The old man always bottled up his emotions and suppresses his feelings. Despite the fact of being as sick as dog he tried to look at the bright side of life. At no time he disclose something about himself but always tried to reduce stress and cheer up his friend telling different stories and describing the life of the people he saw out of the window. That day the old man related stories about two jubilant boys, who observe seagulls up in the air and just were winding down after a tiring day, about hysterical woman, who had won the lottery, about a child who was in tears just because not receiving a toy she wanted. The old man took an interest in everything describing the weather, crowded streets, devastated and stunned people.

The other man was really jealous of his friend’s life and was angry with him. He wore his heart on his sleeve and always poured out his innermost thoughts. It was not his instinct to be guarded and he always complained about his place in opposite corner. 

The man dreamed to lie near the window where his friend did and observe ecstatic and frustrated people.

That day he received a wounderful chance to change his bed. Early in the morning he heard groan of his friend who felt a terrible pain in his heart. He begged for help but as cunning as a fox man decided let down his neighbor and didn’t call the nurse because in such a way he could receive a great place near the window and live his life to the fullest. His dream came true. The poor man died. Later, in the evening delighted with his decision man asked to move him to the window. His heart pounding because in few seconds he had to saw incredible views his friend told about. He was gutted when saw a brick wall and a tree in front of the wall. When he asked the nurse about fascinating city his friend always was describing him she explained that it was impossible because man who had passed away was blind. It was quiet a shocking fact. The mischievous man was crying. His friend was just as wise as an owl inventing all that stories in order to support him.

                                           

                             Body Language

  Body language is an important part of communication. It is a special signs which people send out to each other with the help of different gestures or their combination. Some of us who are observant can read it naturally but other should put a lot of efforts into understanding of magical signals. At any rate, it is essential to pay enough attention to the behavior that a person displays as it can give us more information about feelings and intensions of our interlocutor. Although, we can never tell and bear in mind the danger of making generalization about body language because it is so easy to misinterpret what some gestures mean.

  Anyway, having made an observation on my group mates and other students I noticed some common gestures. For instance, they often lean towards each other during the conversation when they are interested in the topic of discussion. As the matter of fact, most of them look into eyes one another. However, sometimes person can look away from speaker to show uncertainty about the information, but not necessarily. It’s true that some of my group mates who are too shy and timid try to avoid eye contact. Incidentally, some of them think that looking in someone’s eyes is a sign of disrespect.

As for the folded arms, this gesture implies stubbornness, or alternatively, person uses it when disagree with the heard information. In any case, this gesture is also used to show self-confidence or just as a position in which someone stands or seats in a photo.

Such gesture as shaking hands with somebody is popular between boys, especially when they greet each other, but not necessarily. A lot of people also use this gesture after doing a deal.  

When boys are annoyed they clenched their fists to show anger and in such a way try to solve some conflicts. They go red and began shout of the top of their voice.

Talking about relationships, boys who fancy someone often smile at girl, wink at her, tell different jokes and try to be funny and careful. As for girls, they often fiddle with their hair or when they are flirting they lift their heads to show more of their neck. They are also fall about laughing and try to be defenceless and cute.

As I was saying, to be able to read body language is very important and useful because you can get a lot of extra information without saying a word. But mind you, excessive gestures are annoying, so be careful using them.

  "Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wounderful."                                    Annette Funicello

  

   

   Life is the only thing we have. It is so unbelievable and indescribable that it is considerably difficult to give a clear explanation what it means. We can say without any doubt that our life is the best gift we have ever received but a lot of people misunderstand it. Fortunately or unfortunately life consists from happiness and sadness and every day we try to create own mosaic from our thoughts, intentions and actions. Our life is like a game and rules we make ourselves. We have an opportunity to choose which clothes are convenient or inconvenient for us, which food is edible or inedible, which things are irreplaceable and who are loyal or disloyal to us. We can do whatever we want to do and be absolutely satisfied or discontent with one’s life. Actually everything depends on our attitude to the world we live in.

   

   Childhood is an unforgettable period of our life when everything seems incredible to us. We come into contact with unknown people, use unusual things for the first time and find out what is harmful and what is harmless. We are naturally curious to know what happened, what is happening and what will happen. We feel cheerfulness when we are children but what is the reason for loosing this pleasure in the future. Maybe just because we discover that life is not perfect and the longer we live, the more we see it to be true and try to find perfection?

   

   In fact, our life is not perfect. It has never been and it never will be. But this can be good news. It means that we can stop pursuing the mystical, perfect life, stop chasing perfect house, perfect job, perfect friends and perfect spouse. We can find freedom to live without illusions just to be satisfied with what we have.

   

   A lot of people misunderstand that having two hands, two legs, ability to hear, see, speak it is already a reason to be happy. There are a huge amount of disabled people in the world who have serious problems with their health but they don’t stop looking at the bright sight of life. They always give something new a try and learn how to cope with difficulties that happen. 

   You also should be contented that you have lovely and supporting parents who always take care of you. They are the people who help you to make a right decision and stay with you in any hard situation. We should respect our parents and be grateful for all they gave us. Friendship is also an important and inalienable part of our life. True friends know everything about us and we know everything about them. Such close relationships should be appreciated because it is too difficult to find such a person you can tell your secrets to. All these people make our life wonderful.

   All in all, to reach to perfection is really hard because there are a lot of things we have yet to learn. So, life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful, because small things and lovely people who surround us are able to make it colourful.
