In contrast, poor parents tend to rely on “natural development.” They believe that they are obliged to take care of the child, but he must develop independently.

You can have analytical intelligence without having practical intelligence, and vice versa. Or, if you're lucky, like Robert Oppenheimer, you can boast of both.

The term “mental model” originates from cognitive psychology, a science that studies how our brain thinks, perceives the reality around us, and interacts with the world. Some designers know how to apply this knowledge to make the best decisions. Psychological research shows that people generally like the feeling of control over things, including elevators (and the extent to which this feeling is expressed is called locus of control). Research has proven that when we think we are in control of a situation, or at least actively doing something (pressing a placebo button), the sense of time becomes dull.

Psychologists believe that the more a child helps his family at an early age, the more likely he will grow up to be a helpful teenager for whom household responsibilities are natural and simple. The earlier children are allowed to participate in the overall work, the greater the chance that they will be inclined to provide voluntary assistance as they grow up.

... many indigenous parents are happy when a raking toddler rushes to the rescue. They are happy that the baby takes initiative, and explains his assertiveness with the desire to contribute to the life of the family. Yes, the child is too young to know how to best help. But he just needs to learn. How can you learn if you don’t try?

Three cornerstone practices of modern parenting - the need for toys, obsession with learning and endless praise - appeared for very strange reasons. Toys were given to us by the industrial revolution, the desire for early development is a political race of powers, and the pop concept of self-esteem, which does not exist in any other culture in the world, requires praise.

Russians are certainly happy-go-lucky people; practical in some things, indifferent or impractical in others... So in the theater we visited today, there was only one entrance and no exit for 800 or 900 spectators. And therefore all the packages and shoes had to be left at the door and almost in a shameful crush they had to fight to get in and out again! The theater building itself, which was previously a truly magnificent mansion, was confiscated from one of the rich bourgeois families. “Where are the members of this family now? - I asked. - Somebody knows?" - “They are dead or working as waiters in New York or Paris.”

The best theory of law is good morality, and it should be in the heart regardless of these abstractions and have religion as its basis.

Given my character, it’s hard for me to see that things are going wrong and that the reason for this is negligence and personal views. I would rather be hated for a right cause than to be loved for a wrong cause.

Be gentle, humane, accessible, compassionate and generous; Let your greatness not prevent you from kindly condescending to small people and putting yourself in their position so that this kindness never diminishes either your power or their respect. Act in such a way that good people will love you, evil people will fear you, and everyone will respect you.

Would you do this to your children: would you give them a scorpion instead of an egg and a stone instead of a fish? If you are evil, then why do you know how to do good to your children, and if you are considered kind and warm-hearted, then why don’t you do the same good to our children as to your own?

If you live in love with each other, then God will be with you. He will subdue all your enemies, and you will live in peace. If you begin to hate each other and quarrel, then you yourself will perish and destroy the land of your fathers and grandfathers, which they acquired through their great labor.

A purely recitative style was not to my liking and not to my character. I am drawn to singing, cantilena, and not to recitative, although, according to reviews from knowledgeable people, I am quite good at the latter. In addition, I am drawn to forms that are more complete, more round, wider... In my opinion, in opera, as in scenery, small forms, details, trifles should not have a place; everything should be written in large strokes, clear, bright and, if possible, practical in performance, both voice and orchestral. The voices should be in the foreground, the orchestra in the background.
