Fate is generous to those who firmly decided to be happy Bashny.Net

We have courses in English is male, active guy, under 60 somewhere. I watched it all and rejoiced that no importance and considerable age does not prevent him to be just a student like everyone else.

And here we are with him in the lesson began to discuss children, was such a topic. Word for word, he suddenly says:
— You know, Galya and I have five children!
— Wow, wow! — I marveled.

And he suddenly began to tell. When I was young, he had a wife and young son. He worked very hard, day and night. In the 90s, started a business, which takes all the power. He forgot to sleep and eat from nerves and responsibility. Son imperceptibly grew up, he became a student, and the marriage itself vanished into thin air...
— At some pointI realized that that's like I don't die of hunger, have money, and happiness — no. No family, no meaning in life. That you're almost 40, man, and you alone, and you're unhappy.

And then the next day he rode the train to my mother and read a book. The protagonist of this book was to compile a list of their main goals. For the first 3 years of life in General and one final list, just in case, what would he do if I live remained only six months.







That night on the train he began to write such a list. And there was quite a usual, earthly, human desires: to have a family and children to see that mom was complaining into the phone to work less, but happy to travel.

He approached the task as a businessman. What is most interesting to solve most of that list was possible only for a few days. First he put mom nearby so she wasn't sad. Then sold the exhausting business, but instead ran a small business. More difficult was with the family. But only after some two years he married, and was born to first one daughter, then the second, two sons.

— And then last year my daughter — they're high school girls — sitting-on the porch and talking about something with my older son in English. In English, you know? Just like that! And I thought, Holy smoke, and I only German was taught in school, traveling even two words can not! And I'm better than them, my children?Where there is that my list of goals — you have something else to write! — and he laughed happily.

Less than a year ago he began to learn the language from scratch, with the alphabet, and now he's free conversational.
