Are you on diet?

     Life passes day by day and we forget that we live for being happy.
     Everyone should have this thing in mind. We want to earn money, to be successful, to be loved or to be powerful only because it could bring us happiness and this is what we should focus on.
     We get distracted by all kind of worries too often and it is not worth it. Health is not a currency and there are no goods that can be payed by it.
     In my way of becoming an economist I've discovered for myself that money is an entirely fictional value. It has only the value that we empower it with in our minds. It's a construct, an artificial intermediary between things we value.
     In my way of becoming happy I've discovered that health is not fictional and love,honesty, respect and kindness are a real thing, a currency that can be used to purchase real happiness.
     What has made you who you are- the goods that you have, the people you control, the things that you've achieved or the people you've made happy with it on this way?
     In my way of becoming an adult I've discovered that nothing has value in this life unless I give a "sh**" about it. So simple, right?
     The conclusion is simple- take care of your diet, because what you eat day by day turns into how much "sh**" you give on things.

p.s. I am sorry for the language used above- but important things should be said with simple words :)

Be a child!

     There's been not so much going on lately, but somehow there's still been a lot.
     I had my first exam during the first semester's session at univeristy yesterday- at English- the easiest one- the one meant to raise the moral, which it certainly did ;) There are five more exams to go. I feel confident about them, well, maybe not so confident about Econometrics, but still- expecting them with a lot of hope.          The session will finish on the 2nd of February, with a couple of weeks left until the Individual Europeans, which will be held in Yerevan and which will open the chess season for me.
     I have been a child today and I have really enjoyed it. It's a nice feeling- being taken care of and who can make it better than your own parents? Even though we can feel it less and less with the years that pass by and turn us into grown ups, parents never give up on being parents for their "already no so childish children". It may be annoying and generally, it is annoying, but from time to time it's just nice to enjoy it.
     As I read in a very interesting course- "Transactional Analysis", which is an Erice Berne's theory, every person has 3 models of behaving: the child's one (which is about emotions and feelings), the adult's one (which is about pragmatic thinking, logic and rationalising) and the parent's one (which is about morality).They normally succeed one after another multiple times a day in every human's being personality and they trigger certain behaviours.
     Well, today, I've been mostly on the "child mode", feeling lots of emotions and not censoring myself on expressing them. I felt like shouting at an asshole- which I successfully did, I felt like being helpless and I received a loving hug, I felt happy and gratefull and I don't hesitate a minute showing it here!
     Don't waste all your energy on trying to be an adult 24/7! It is very interesting and relieving to be a child!
