A hero of our time – what is it

He wears skinny jeans, sometimes growing a beard in tribute to fashion and frankly know little English. He smokes regular cigarettes, but thinking one day to buy electronic. He's thin and inconspicuous, it's easy to lose the crowd, because it is very similar to the others.

He is now thirty or so. He is not yet thinking about old age, although sometimes, climbing the stairs to the sixth floor, says of himself that began to take positions. Maybe all matter is not in impending old age, but only in that he almost never goes down? If so, then it's time to change something...





...Oh, and how good it was twenty years ago! Still a child, he grew up in a town with a population of 250 – 300 thousand people. I think even he had an older sister, and they lived with her mother, father and grandmother in a one bedroom apartment in high-rises. And then, when he turned thirteen, my parents divorced and dad moved out to another apartment. Sister married young and her husband took her to himself. And here was left in the apartment only three of them: mother, grandmother, and him.

He went to a perfectly ordinary school itself as a student nothing special is not represented. Studied through force, when mom used to make received your "three" on most subjects, and after school, immediately ran to play with friends in football on the court close to home. First love fourteen years in the first relationship, claimed the seriousness of the first gap. Maybe the poems he never wrote, but suffered after breaking up really long and not less than three to four weeks.

Finished eleven classes, hang from the army, went to College. Understanding of what specialty specifically trained, why did he do it and in the future, it is only the rate to the fourth.

Like at school, greater desire to learn was not to the same temptations of College life and an unprecedented feeling of freedom was taking its toll. Five years specialist was quick, left a lot of memories – especially about the get-togethers with friends and somewhere Brassica supernormal the night before the exam... overall, it all ended well.

After the exam he gave himself a month to relax, I went with a friend to the South and on his return began to look for work. And then it turned out that he studied, it turns out, is a philosopher, and not a single soul in this world it is not needed.

Employers refused to take without experience – but where did it say to take right after high school? The job search itself has become a job, and a thankless, nothing but the internal agony is not bringing. In the end, I pushed around-pushed around and got a job as a sales Manager in the cellular interior.

Work – longing! Nothing interesting... But I needed the money, and he knew it well, so kept. Actually, not to say that he is very picky, just work like any bored. And once, perhaps, quite by accident, he met an old friend: a promising guy who already has traveled halfway around the world, a lot of interest and in General was an extraordinary person.

And he said to him: "Listen, there's nothing here to catch – go to the big city try to find myself there!" He thought: but really, that's the idea! And went.

And here he has since lived in this large city N: almost to Moscow itself. At first it was very difficult. The money was never enough, there was the fact that my mother and grandmother saved and sent. Was first a guard, then the same sales Manager, then joined a large company and slowly began to grow in the position.

Reached the head of the Department, got a car, stopped going to subway – better in traffic a little stand. The work is interesting, but also quite nervous: the need to constantly expand the market, seek new customers. So now, in his thirties, when already have an understanding of how the business works, considering to quit and start their own business. Well, what? It remains only the partner still to find...

...And here comes he now to your sixth floor, because the Elevator broke down and just think about many things. First, on health: sedentary lifestyle and Smoking affect.

With the latter, by the way, he fights for a long time, but willpower is not enough to quit. Someday, maybe... second, he thinks about his own business here thoughts a lot, and they are swarming like bees. Thirdly, think of the daughter. Yes, he has his own daughter! A wonderful girl that he loves, but, unfortunately, can see her only on Saturdays, because... Yeah, on the family he repeated the fate of his father. Fifth, his head was full of thoughts about my ex-wife and women in General. What do they want? How to create a family, to avoid scandals and problems? Why do they love to complicate everything? That's about such pillows takes it for the first year.

Is he happy? Unlikely. Why? This has its explanation. First of all, it is not a strong-willed man, because by and large, he has never (!) in my life has achieved anything until the end. He was satisfied with only half measures and proresults.

For example, he did not like to be a sales Manager and leave the job he was afraid and didn't because lazy and unnecessary movements to do not want. Or here's another example: after another quarrel with his wife to go for reconciliation was resolved immediately for the same reason. Besides, it is quite "thick-skinned": if someone nearby is suffering, he may notice it immediately, but may not notice. And certainly their help voluntarily, it is unlikely anyone will offer.





If people are doing him good, he takes it for granted, but if the evil – cursing on what light is. And he, too, is not infallible: substitute person, especially when it comes to business. However, we cannot say that here he stands out from the crowd. Like most other modern men and women, he was accustomed to people NOT to trust. It seems that everything is constantly want to cheat him, and this is not paranoia, it just already happened, that he gradually "lost faith in humanity".

He smokes, to close all in your own little world. He is weak and, to tell the truth, he was no hero – just a parody. And if he served as a soldier in the war, nobody would have to put legends about his exploits, because frankly, he's a rat, and could easily betray you at the event.

And although he narrow-minded people, which finger about a finger does not hit for the sake of your own happiness, you can't call it lost. The fact that right now, going up to their apartment on the endless stairs, he thinks about life and its various challenges – this fact shows that he cares. And if so, then the answers sooner or later he will find.
