<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>1. </b>Часто
говорят, что нужно любить себя. В первую и самую главную очередь. Что без любви
к себе невозможна никакая другая любовь.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">А как же тогда быть, если, скажем, стоит выбор: поступить так, как лучше, выгоднее,
приятнее, комфортнее себе или выбрать всё то же самое, но для другого человека,
в ущерб себе? <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Этот вопрос волновал меня давно и часто… </span></span><br />
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">И ответы на него находила полярно
противоположные и кардинально (каждый из них) убедительные. Пока не нашла этот:
а действительно ли я буду любить себя такой, которая поступит так, где мне
комфортно, хорошо, выгодно и полезно, а другому от этого моего комфорта плохо
или больно? Такую ли себя я смогу и буду любить? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">То,
чему мы сопротивляемся, продолжает существовать. То, на что мы смотрим,
исчезает.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Даже больше: если
верить в материальность мыслей, не нужно хотеть и просить не нужно. Даже в
молитвах… </span></span><br />
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">«Я хочу» по своей сути означает «у меня этого нет», отсюда и
результат: у меня этого продолжает не быть. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">А что тогда делать?
Чувствовать, думать, говорить так, как будто это уже есть. Немножко абсурдно
может показаться, но это лишь на первый взгляд. Ведь можно просто стать
благодарным – вначале за то, что, например, есть понимание и вера, что есть
мысли об этом. И такие мысли постепенно начнут материализоваться, набирать
обороты, расти и укрепляться. И эфимерное бывшее когда-то просто «хочу» начнёт
воплощаться в реальной действительности. Это можно проверить! :) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>3. </b>У нас
всегда есть выбор. А у всех следствий есть свои причины. Не выбирать – это выбор.
Стать причиной своих следствий – и это тоже выбор.</span></div>

«правильного» или исключительно «неправильного». Есть ракурс, с которого мы
что-то видим, но он не един.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Проблема здесь и сегодня – это плохо. Но только для «здесь» и «сегодня», и тех,
кто находится в этой проблеме. Завтра она же может послужить кому-то добрым и
достойным уроком, который несёт в себе уж точно хорошие краски. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span lang="RU" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>5. </b>Расти
и учиться, познавать и осознавать – по-настоящему это совершенно не равно
продолжать утверждаться в своих когда-то принятых моралях и точках зрения.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>А почему-то часто происходит именно так. Мы
отрицаем то, что не входит в наше понимание. Но ведь по-настоящему новое – априори не должно совпадать с нашим, уже существующим пониманием. На
то оно и другое, на то оно и новое. В этом и есть наш рост, учёба и познание с
осознанием :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>6.</b> Постоянность

в медитации монах окружен изменениями дня и ночи, ветра и тишины, утренней
прохлады и дневного зноя. Всё меняется постоянно. Результаты могут быть
какое-то время даже похожими, но процесс – никогда. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>7. </b>Стоит
думать так, как будто все мысли наши будут записаны на небесах, чтобы все могли
их прочитать, говорить стоит так, как если бы весь мир был бы одним большим
ухом, который всё бы мог услышать и делать нужно то, как мы бы хотели, чтобы
поступали с нами… Это могло бы помочь нам стать по-настоящему теми, кем мы так
хотим быть! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>8. </b>И да,
ошибки это незаменимый опыт. Их совершать даже, наверное, полезно. Без холода
мы бы никогда не смогли ощутить тепло, а без зла понять, что такое добро.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">Слишком часто мне
стали попадаться слова о том, что нужно доверять, научиться жить, доверяя.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Доверяя Всевышнему. Что невозможно всё взять
под свой контроль, что рано или поздно можно хорошенько «обломаться» и разочароваться,
нежданно и негаданно. А это, в свою очередь, как минимум, боль… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">Если честно, я
упрямо не принимала такой жизненный уклад: кто-то где-то пускай «плывёт по
течению», но не в моём случае. У меня есть чёткие цели, план и я сама всё знаю
и строю. Со временем я настолько стала запутываться, что в какой-то момент
осознала, что совершенно не понимаю, куда, зачем, где и с кем я иду, какие эти
мои самые цели и какого плана придерживаюсь. Похоже, что есть кто-то и что-то
сильнее, намного сильнее, и его нужно слушать. В противном случае, его придётся
услышать… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">Параллельно с
этим сложным вопросом у меня часто возникает второй, не менее завуалированный: а
что же делать тогда с целеустремлённостью, верностью и преданностью своему
делу, людям и т.п.? Все эти трудности – это так называемые жизненные проверки
на прочность или знаки судьбы о том, что идёшь не тем путём? Вопрос остаётся
открытым… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">… около года я
гонялась за тем, что от меня, мягко говоря, убегало. Отчасти даже где-то
глубоко внутри себя чувствовала это, но упрямо не хотела верить. А гонялась
так, что аж дым стоял от усилий, которые прикладывала. Скажем так, вложенные
ресурсы изначально были намного больше, чем просто необходимо, а результат, к
которому я так стремилась, наоборот, лишь отдалялся. Я бы назвала этот год
годом обломов. Сорвались практически все мои «цели»… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">… Но есть ещё
вторая сторона: я также упрямо не хотела замечать то, что «шло, как по маслу»,
что приходило ко мне, можно сказать, само, что получалось, несмотря на
сложности и преграды, чему всегда находились время и возможности, а самое
главное – желание. Я просто хотела этого, опять же где-то глубоко внутри себя.
Просто так, без чётких целей и ожиданий, меня вдохновлял сам процесс, мне не
нужны были для этого одобрения со стороны, «лайки» в Фейсбуке и чтобы все
вокруг знали, что я этим занимаюсь в принципе. Периодически я так или иначе
переставала заниматься этими вещами, брала паузы, чтобы подумать, нужно ли это,
достойно ли это, полезно ли это, не слишком ли эгоистично, приведёт ли<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>к чему-то полезному… Но всё равно возвращалась.
Множество-множество раз. И каждый раз, как только приступала, этот самый
внутренний голос говорил мне, что всё верно, что не стоит переживать, думать,
размышлять, что нужно просто делать. И да, верить, доверять, что не могу я на
всё повлиять сама, всё заранее знать, иметь чёткий план (а порой и просто
план)… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">Наверное, именно
таким образом я попала туда, откуда сейчас пишу эти мысли – далёкий
северо-восток, в столицу самой северной провинции Китая, город Харбин. Он, я бы
сказала, нашёл меня или пришёл ко мне сам. Однажды, после утреннего класса, я
обнаружила сообщение с предложением работать здесь. Естественно, первой
реакцией моей был однозначный отказ. По привычке, скорее всего. А через
несколько дней тот самый внутренний голос вновь напомнил о себе и сделал это
очень «громко»… Но не так трудно было услышать его, как следовать ему.
Возможно, опять же, из-за привычки, из-за длительного «заплыва против течения».
Это из серии ломать стереотипы или бросать курить. Честно. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">Я решила таки
попробовать и довериться. И полететь. В полную неизвестность. В новый год — и в
прямом, и в переносном значении… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="RU" style="mso-ansi-language: RU;">Вчера состоялись премьеры нашего
ледово-театрального шоу – с глубокой и тонкой внутренней стороной, но об этом в другой раз. Сейчас нужно учиться постоянно наполняться,чтобы отдавать. Около двухсот шоу предстоят.</span>..</div>

товарах, выставленных возле окон магазинов, нет. Видимо, цена здесь не является
решающим критерием покупки. Мода отчасти безумная: особенно впечатлил магазин
ковров. Наши бабушки-прабабушки, судя по всему, могут сделать ещё очень даже
приличный бизнес, поставляя свои старые ковры (такие, красно-коричнево-пёстрые

Оксфорд: так похожи и такие разные… Оба построены по принципу множества колледжей,
их территорий и связывающих улочек с кафешками-магазинами. На территории
колледжей можно заходить, всё там рассматривать и даже входить вовнутрь
некоторых помещений. В Оксфорде даже существует спецопция для туристов: можно
остановиться и пожить в студенческом общежитии (вместо отеля), получив, как
бонус, разрешение кушать вместе со студентами и посещать их вечерние собрания. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

колледжей Оксфорда снимали фильм «Гарри Поттер», и действительно, атмосфера там
волшебная. Загадочная и магическая… Методика, по которой учатся студенты, тоже
специфическая: каждый студент имеет своего наставника-преподавателя, который
курирует его на протяжении всей учёбы, с которым он занимается индивидуально один-два
раза в неделю и который составляет план достижения главной цели (приобретения
нужных знаний и опыта). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

«… Однажды встретился мне на пути человек, который спасал скорпиона,
попавшего в глубокую лужу. Каждый раз, когда человек брал скорпиона, тот пытался
ужалить его, тем самым принося нетерпимую боль. Человек же, несмотря на это
снова и снова доставал зверька из лужи, надеясь спасти ему жизнь.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Я был в недоумении: «Незнакомец, зачем ты делаешь это? Ведь
скорпион тебя кусает, а укус его может быть ядовитым и даже смертельноопасным.
Это же его природа!» На что человек ответил: «Да, ты прав, это его природа – кусать, а
моя природа – помочь ему, спасти его. Я человек, я вижу, что ему плохо и знаю,
как спасти его, поэтому и делаю это. Он выполняет свой долг, я же выполняю свой». </div>

Наверное, это был святой человек… » <o:p></o:p></div>

Неужели нужно жить по принципу «ударили тебя по щеке, подставь
и вторую»? … <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Думаю, что нет. Однако помнить о том, что своё сердце не
обманешь, следует. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Когда вы не знаете, как быть дальше, что сделать, как
поступить, что выбрать, какое решение принять… Когда вас постоянно мучают
сомнения… Когда вы чего-то боитесь… Когда вам сложно и кажется, что выхода нет…
Следует помнить о важном: если вы принимаете правильное в жизни решение, в этот момент вам станет очень легко, возникнет ощущение спокойствия и тепла. «Кошки скрести
на душе» точно не будут, ни капли. </div>
Если же вас что-то
очень мучает даже при обдумывании одного из вариантов, значит, он неподходящий.
Неправильный. Или не до конца правильный. Поверьте!<br />
<br />
Слушайте своё сердце, в нём есть все ответы. Глубоко.<br />
Очень сложно. Очень. Но только вначале!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
До сегодняшнего дня принципы, которыми я
руководствовалась в той части жизни, где ставила цели, шла к ним, достигала,
ставила новые, искала, пробовала, ползла, шла, бежала, а порой и летела к своим
мечтам… я поняла, что из всего услышанного, прочитанного и понятого, выбрала
для себя три главных, которыми хочу поделиться и которые считаю принципиально
правильными. Духовно правильными. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Самым первым стал, наверное, совет моего папы, который до
сих пор является номером один. …Когда я готовилась к одному из своих
танцевальных турниров, очень переживая, что перешла в новую возрастную и
профессиональную категорию, где будет много тех, кто «быстрее-выше-сильнее»,
папа сказал: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #351c75;">«Не старайся быть лучше кого-то, не сравнивай себя с
остальными, а будь хороша сама по себе, в том, что и как делаешь ты, об
остальном даже не думай». </span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Спустя много лет после того случая, когда я попала в очень
серьезную в моем становлении как танцора и личности школу, я встретила фразу,
которая озаглавливала их сообщество в социальной сети. Глубоко. Сильно. Не для каждого…:
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i>«Всегда выбирайте самый сложный путь: на нем вы не встретите
конкурентов». </i></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Ремарка:</b> это утверждение я бы немного трансформировала: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #351c75;">«Найдите свой путь, на нём изначально нет конкурентов,
потому что на самом деле вы в этом мире единственны, также как и путь ваш.
Главное, найти его». </span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
И вот третий принцип, поспособствовавший появлению этой статьи! Вчера моя подруга, поздравляя нашу любимую Алесю с днём её
появления, пожелала ей то, что двигало мной много-много лет, но, скорее, на
подсознательном уровне. Теперь же эта фраза будет третьей в списке важных: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #351c75;">«Используй свой потенциал. Потенциалом есть не то, что у
тебя хорошо получается и что легко дается, а то, чего ты действительно можешь
достичь в своей жизни. То максимально возможное, на что тебе даны внутренние
силы, благодаря которым ты можешь развить и выработать в себе все необходимые
качества и навыки для достижения этого максимума».</span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Всё вышенаписанное тесно связано: нашим потенциалом и и является самый сложный путь, безконкурентный
и уникальный; по умолчанию, уже в нём мы хороши! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">P</span>.<span lang="EN-US">S</span>. </b>Путь бесконечен и постоянен.
У него нет завершения и тупика. Не стоит путать его с чётко определённой целью,
достигнув которую… и что дальше?<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</div>
<div dir="auto" style="line-height: normal;">

<div dir="auto" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Поиск смысла жизни и счастья (в их глобальных измерениях) - с этим быстренько бы расправилась, принимая актуальное для себя на сегодняшний день решение: “жить жадно”, как однажды сказала одна моя родная душа. Но с одним главным и незыблемым условием: доверяя. Доверяя Всевышнему. Во всём. По жизни. Выполняя это условие (полное доверие), можно приобрести очень важное качество под названием "спокойствие". А в нём как раз сила, то есть основной ресурс, с помощью которого можно развивать свои способности и исполнять долг, служить. Вопрос: зачем? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="quoted-text" style="line-height: normal;">
<div dir="auto">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">... Мы, каждый из нас определенно уникален: со своей неповторимой внешностью, с качествами, которые, даже если и похожи на чьи-то ещё, имеют множество деталей, “вложений” и “поправок”. Зачем-то же это нам дано: значит, нужно эти качества применять, развивать и еще больше применять. Это и есть служение или исполнение своего долга в этом мире, предназначение. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Это и есть бесконечный смысл жизни. Истинное счастье...</span><br />

even project managers who work for the large international company in Tokyo
come to the Awaji Island before realizing their new projects and work there as
ordinary staff: waiters, drivers, leaflet-givers etc. Just to become closer to
people who live in that region, to learn better their culture and mentality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The most
important detail: they feel absolutely normal. They go, work and feel happy.

managers who are organizers of the project
take away all the garbage left in changing rooms by their artists: they
do not ask artists to come back and do it. They do it quietly by themselves.
Yes, their main workplace is still Tokyo international company. :) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

with garbage is also unusual: there are practically no garbage bins outside (in
parks, on the streets, in shopping malls etc.) – comparing with Europe, where
they can be found around every corner (for people’s comfort and outside cleanliness
at the same time). Here people will not throw garbage away at all. Just will
not. Speaking about garbage bins – they are not the best decoration of parks,
are they? :) </span></span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b>My trio-debut: CHINA</b><b style="text-align: center;"> – TV – ART </b></h2>
<br />
<br />
It was something like a space flight, flying to another planet! The first time in China, the first experience in TV shooting, the first time in the vast world of so different and creative people!<br />
<br />
This article is for my family, relatives, friends, and anyone who'll find it curious! Aaand: let's start, uhhh!!!<br />
<br />
I'd like to begin this story with the most impressive - people whom I was surrounded by within that great week: too unusual and special, talented and hardworking, everyone with his own story and life path in such unusual for the "ordinary" reader fields, as for instance, dancing painter, magicians, figure skater on roller skates, girl juggling with her feet, air gymnasts, modern bandura player, modern opera singer, man tearing iron bucket instead of just a sheet of paper, and so many other original and even unknown for me genres.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUp_tuDoPXvbwXDsdrRdDAAb_yTJX6YW_F2uW8ElSDESrWEdT5dtbJWR_24vVFhfqbo3yhasOiuIK2MO6s_PcFdStcgfgEkgxMCM7OU8OGQbk8NoWSB4DppMlZydrZMfAaVGcx1ck794G/s1600/mmexport1468857149708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUp_tuDoPXvbwXDsdrRdDAAb_yTJX6YW_F2uW8ElSDESrWEdT5dtbJWR_24vVFhfqbo3yhasOiuIK2MO6s_PcFdStcgfgEkgxMCM7OU8OGQbk8NoWSB4DppMlZydrZMfAaVGcx1ck794G/s400/mmexport1468857149708.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Honestly, my favorite is dancing artist: Gena from Odessa, from our Ukrainian team of artists. People, this is the real BOMB!!! Within about 10 minutes he wrote a portrait of one of the jury members. The portrait was made on the black canvas with the golden sand. Simultaneously Gena was dancing, dancing on the greatest level to the beautiful and exciting music... Goosebumps... This is talent, this is show, this is professionalism, emotions, this is all!!!<br />

<br />
A lot of the time I spent among magicians, sphere where I'm not even the novice ... just a little worse! :) My roommate was a girl from Riga (Latvia), who works as a magician - the only female magician I am acquainted with! So, when we made our first steps into the hotel room, I immediately asked if she could show me some tricks... :)<br />
<br />

<br />
It turns out that magicians got used to the fact that everyone, everywhere and everytime asks them for such an "entertainment." Partly, they even like it: good possibility to practice and perfect their skills with the audience. After watching tricks they'd showed us, I began to doubt that we adults are attentive enough... Their tricks made all of us speechless! Honestly! It was incomprehensible!<br />
<br />
The next magician in my trip was Jenis (a man from Almaty city, Kazahstan). I asked him if he liked David Copperfield (question, which contained, unfortunately, all my knowledge about the world of magic). In response, I received a photograph of two people: him and Copperfield... Such things happen! And one day later I found out that Jenis was listed in the Guinness Book of records... Shock :)<br />

</tbody></table>
Too unusual seemed to me the genre of figure skating on roller skates: fragile girl Lera from Odessa turned out to be a sport master in figure skating, who shows the figure skating show on roller skates, that look almost the same as that for figure skating, just with little wheels!<br />
<br />

Local resident surprised everyone with his power: he tore the iron bucket (I've tested it personally) with the only hand movement. It was the first time when I personally met such a man. Before, I used to think that "such" men should be strong, or if to be more exact -- their weight has to be not less than 100 kg. In fact, everything was exactly the opposite: maybe I can also try myself in this genre? :) <br />

<b>... and writing, and writing, but the main fact is still abscent: Urumchi, National Talent-Show! </b><br />
We took part in Chinese Talent-Show, taking place in Urumchi-city, that is situated in the Northwest part of the country. Urumchi is the capital of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region with population of more than 3 million people. Great, as here is also a little coincidence: Urumchi has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most remote city from any sea in the world!<br />
<br />
Two Guinness Book heroes in one story :)<br />

The two main languages of the city are Chinese and Uighur, as Uighurs constitute the second largest resident layer after the Chinese. Interesting, but these two languages are totally different, they are not dialects. And very often the following situation takes place: the Uighur don't understand the Chinese, and vice versa, as education in China is "on the verge of fantasy". Perhaps, that is why many institutions and venues (shops, cafes etc.) give their named in two languages, that looks a bit funny for Europeans who know English-Russian-Ukrainian and a couple of other Western languages, as that "Chinese-Uighur translation" in no way helps to "navigate".<br />

<br />
The Chinese don't speak English. At all! They even don't understand meanings of the words «YES» and «NO». From time to time it made us upset, as without language knowledge it was impossible to travel (even within the city), to buy anything: 70% of the supermarket products are unknown objects with strange names. Speaking about markets, it is worth to mention that practically all the prices are written in characters, not numbers. There is a great lack of local interpreters who know English good enough in order to accompany tourists and visitors. More likely, the following situation will take place (the one we had): the Kazakhs who speak both Russian and Uighur helped us. Funny? :) <br />
<br />
Our common (as it seemed to me before this trip :)) gestures are also not the same as their: the fist (which I usually understand as a threat) means "10" and, for example, when we collect our fingers leaving only the little finger and the big one - showing, as if we are speaking on the phone - in China it means "7" (if my memory doesn't fail). <br />
<br />
After this trip I can also confirm that many countries enter the international market, and China is the country with a strong belief that it is not the one that should "go somewhere" but vice versa: other countries have to "enter China". <br />
Doing business there is too specific: too long and complicated hierarchical structures, where to understand who is on the top is very difficult, sometimes even impossible, at the same time working "directly" is almost unreally.<br />
<br />
Everything, absolutely everything I had previously only read about, is a pure truth, which we faced with, while working on the project. For example, personal communication, the principle of "war is war, and lunch has to be on time" are rules the number "1"...<br />
<br />
And finally, some amazing photos. <br />

<b>Мой трио-дебют: КИТАЙ – ТВ – АРТ </b></h3>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
Это был полёт в космос, на другую планету! Впервые в Китае, впервые на телевизионных съёмках, впервые в огромном мире творческих людей, где все такие-такие разные!<br />
Очень хочу поделиться впечатлениями со своими родными, близкими, друзьями, да и в целом всеми, кому это покажется любопытным! Итак: на старт, внимание, уххх!!!<br />
<br />
Начну с самого впечатляющего – это люди, которыми я была окружена на протяжении недели: все слишком уж необычные и особенные, таланты и трудяги, каждый со своей историей и жизненным путём в столь непривычных для «обычного» читателя сферах, как, например, танцующий художник, фокусница и фокусники, фигуристка на роликовых коньках, девушка, жонглирующая ногами, воздушные гимнасты, современный бандурист, современный оперный певец, человек, рвущий железные ведра вместо простой бумаги, и ооочень много других жанров, не всем из которых даже знала названия.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUp_tuDoPXvbwXDsdrRdDAAb_yTJX6YW_F2uW8ElSDESrWEdT5dtbJWR_24vVFhfqbo3yhasOiuIK2MO6s_PcFdStcgfgEkgxMCM7OU8OGQbk8NoWSB4DppMlZydrZMfAaVGcx1ck794G/s1600/mmexport1468857149708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfUp_tuDoPXvbwXDsdrRdDAAb_yTJX6YW_F2uW8ElSDESrWEdT5dtbJWR_24vVFhfqbo3yhasOiuIK2MO6s_PcFdStcgfgEkgxMCM7OU8OGQbk8NoWSB4DppMlZydrZMfAaVGcx1ck794G/s400/mmexport1468857149708.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
Честно, моим фаворитом шоу стал танцующий художник: Гена из Одессы, из нашей украинской команды артистов. Люди, это БОМБА!!! Примерно за 10 минут он написал портрет одного из членов жюри на черном полотне золотым песком. При этом делал это Гена, танцуя, танцуя на крутейшем уровне под красивую и драйвовую музыку… Мурашки по коже… Это талант, это шоу, это профессионализм, это эмоции, это всё!!!<br />

Как-то так получилось, что очень много времени я провела в среде фокусников, в которой я не то, чтобы новичок, а… даже ещё чуть хуже! Когда нас поселили вместе с девочкой из Риги, и мы зашли в гостиничный номер, я спросила в каком жанре она работает, соответственно получила ответ: «Я фокусница». Не думая даже и секунды, я уточнила, может ли она показать мне какой-нибудь фокус…<br />

<br />
Оказывается, у фокусников так принято, они привыкли, что их всегда, все и везде просят о подобных «развлечениях». Отчасти, им это даже импонирует: таким образом они практикуют свои навыки и оттачивают «интерактив» с аудиторией. Фокусы, конечно, завораживающие, и, что самое странное, все взрослые и, вроде бы, наблюдательные (в чём я стала сомневаться) люди, а после того, что видят своими глазами, просто теряют дар речи. Честно! Это необъяснимо!<br />
<br />
Когда моя соседка Жанна познакомила меня со своим коллегой Женисом – фокусником из Алматы (Казахстан), я задала ему вопрос (в котором содержались, к сожалению, все мои знания о мире фокусов) о том, нравится ли ему Дэвид Копперфильд. В ответ получила фотографию, на которой изображены два человека: он и Коперфильд… Вот такое, оказывается, бывает! А днём позже узнала, что Женис занесён в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса… И такое тоже бывает! Шок.<br />

Слишком необыкновенным показался мне жанр фигурного катания на роликах: хрупкая девочка Лера из Одессы оказалась мастером спорта по фигурному катанию, которая показывает шоу на роликовых коньках, внешне почти таких же, как и фигурные, только на колёсиках!<br />
Очень красивое зрелище, очень неординарное, очень достойное…<br />

Местный же житель удивил всех своей силой: он порвал железное ведро (проверяла лично) одним движением рук. Впервые встретила вживую такого человека! Раньше думала, что «такие» должны быть, мягко говоря, крепкими, а точнее, ну не меньше 100 кг весить так точно. На самом же деле всё оказалось с точностью до наоборот: может, и мне попробовать себя в подобном жанре?<br />

… Писала, писала, а самое главное и забыла: <b>Урумчи, национальное талант-шоу! </b></h4>
Мы принимали участие в талант-шоу Китая, которое проходило в городе Урумчи, расположенном на северо-западе страны. Урумчи является административным центром Синьцзян-Уйгурского автономного района с населением более трех миллионов жителей.<br />
Мило, потому что есть небольшое совпадение, Урумчи тоже зафиксирован в Книге рекордов Гиннесса, как самый удалённый от моря крупный город в мире!<br />

В городе говорят на двух языках: китайском и уйгурском, так как здесь уйгуры составляют второй по количеству слой жителей после китайцев. Интересно, но эти два языка совершенно разные, никакие это не диалекты… И часты случаи, когда уйгурец не понимает китайца, и наоборот: образованность в Китае «на грани фантастики». Наверное, именно поэтому многие заведения, как, например, магазины, кафе подписаны двумя языками, что для глаз славянина, который знает русский-украинский-английский и ещё парочку западных языков очень забавно выглядит и… никоим образом не помогает "сориентироваться".<br />

<br />
То, что китайцы совершенно не знают английский, который, как мне казалось до этой поездки, считается международным языком – истинная правда, даже более того: они не понимают слов «YES» и «NO». Порой становилось грустно… Ведь без знания языка невозможно куда-то поехать, пойти, что-то купить: заходишь в супермаркет, а там примерно 70% продукции – неизвестные объекты с непонятными названиями, говоря же о рынке, там даже цены указаны иероглифами, а не цифрами. Тамошних переводчиков, знающих английский на уровне, чтобы сопровождать туристов и приезжих, крайне мало. Скорее, будет ситуация, которая возникла у нас: нашлись казахи, знающие русский и уйгурский. Забавно, правда?<br />
<br />
Наша, казалось бы, общепринятая жестикуляция также не совпадает с их: показанный кулак (который я до этого воспринимала, как угрозу) означает цифру «10», а, например, когда мы собираем пальцы, оставив только мизинец и большой, показывая, как будто, говорение по-телефону, у них означает (если я правильно помню) цифру «7».<br />
<br />
Я когда-то читала и слушала лекции о Китае, а сейчас вдвойне убедилась в том, что многие страны мира выходят на международный рынок, а Китай – страна, которая считает, что не она должна «выходить куда-либо», а в неё должны «входить» другие. Мол, хотите – старайтесь.<br />
Ведение бизнеса там тоже специфическое: слишком длинные и запутанные иерархические структуры, где понять, кто есть главный очень сложно, порой даже невозможно, да и работать «напрямую» практически малореально.<br />
<br />
Всё, совершенно всё, о чём я раньше лишь читала, – чистейшая правда, с которой мы столкнулись, работая на проекте. К примеру, то, что не будет дела, пока не наладится личное общение, принцип «война войной, а обед по расписанию – правила номер «1»…<br />
<br />
И, напоследок: просматривала фото и захотелось добавить ещё парочку интересностей: <br />
Я бы назвала это «Для тех, кто ещё не вегетерианствует». Это мясные тушки. Продаются просто на улочке, между кафешек, всяческих сувенирных лавок и продуктовых магазинов. Мило.<br />

<b><span lang="EN-US">CHINA, or tips for how to start Your business in this
country? </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Short introduction <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> During the
most of Chinese history emperors disliked merchants: they were seen as being
unproductive, as they were not working the land, and the land was the primary
source of income, as being somewhat disruptive: they could be richer than the
officials and gain political power by using their economic power. However, the
state depended upon merchants for the income. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> But is
there a law against being rich? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Yes, some
of the laws were really designed to control excessive displays of wealth: for
instance, when people had huge graves, mausoleums after they died and it was a
grand event in sending the person off to the afterlife – this kind of over-consumption
was restricted by law. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> This kind
of idea is also related to the Confucian value of not displaying your wealth too
openly or too excessively. Very interesting, but tourists in Shanghai can find
the ad warning them against merchants – people who might be trying to sell you
something that’s not worth as much as they say. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">One of the
major issues confronting the Chinese government today is a huge disparity in
wealth between the rich and the poor in China: over 1 million millionaires and simultaneously
huge areas of poor people…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Some people
think of China’s economy today as a market economy. However, China still
engages in five-year economic planning cycles. These cycles, the ideas, the
goals are centrally planned. Almost all of the top 50 Chinese companies are
state-owned enterprises where more than 50% of the company’s value is owned by
the government. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> But! These
plans are no longer called plans. From 2006, they’re called guidelines. These
guidelines are important for people who want to do business in China, because
these give good ideas as to the kind of areas that you could invest in and
areas you might want to avoid investing in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">If you want
to criticize the country, just be careful: there is the rising sense of
nationalism, that in its turn has an impact of what you say about China. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Many
business people today are participating in the political process by joining the
Communist Party – mainly in order to gain access to other officials for
advancing their business interests: this fact is ironic, as the Communist Party
traditionally has been the party that opposes capitalism and now it welcomes
entrepreneurs (people who were once labeled as capitalist roaders). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Many of the
state-owned enterprises have a member of the Communist Party who plays a role
in ensuring the political correctness of people in the organization. So, the
influence of the Communist Party can be seen right down into work unit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> There are 8
other political parties in China (as well as the Communist Party) the role of
which is small but they have been participating right from the beginning of the
history of the Communist Party ruling in China. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

cities called municipal-level cities. </span></li>
<li> The
local governments (cities, smaller cities and other prefectures).</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> This tells
us that the levels of government make the bureaucracy very complex in China. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> So, if you
are a businessperson in China and you want to get any paperwork processed, it
is an extraordinarily difficult process. You do not know at which level of
government you need to operate and you do not know who has responsibility for
what. And in fact, many of the people at these different levels of government
also are not sure: they operate in areas they believe that they are responsible
for, but on paper that may not be the case. So how on Earth do you negotiate
the government in China? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Anyway, there
are many companies operating in China which can give you advice on this, they
are usually locally-based, sometimes foreign-owned. But they will be able to
advise you and guide you through the maze of the Chinese bureaucracy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> There is
something like 36 to 46 million bureaucrats in China – that’s more than the population
of Australia many times. It is important to remember that with regards to this
number of bureaucrats there are many people who are wanting to have a piece of
your business. So, it is best to work with an established consultancy company
that is experienced in helping you to navigate through the Chinese bureaucracy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Of course,
you may be thinking at this point that business in China is too hard to do.
Then the advice is to go to China first of all and look for work. And after you
have worked in the country for a few years, you may have acquired enough
knowledge to then move on and establish your business. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> “The Art of
War” – a book by Sun Tzu or Sun Wu (a military genius, a military general
during the Warring States Period around 500 BC), where he gave instructions to
people on how to defeat the enemy, and people have used these lessons to apply
to business today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> This book
can be found in the most shops around the world in the business section: there
are a number of strategies as to how you can deal with your competition when
you are conducting business. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Some of the
strategies, presented in the book, are focused on creating a positional
advantage: rather than just work with the existing constraints, you should do
what you can to create a favourable situation (for instance, simply to arrive
early, perhaps, for an appointment). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Another
thing is to gain business intelligence (to find out what your opposition is
doing) – in order to have the knowledge advantage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> And one
more important is to provide better logistics than your opposition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Two main stratagems
from “The Art of War”: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> “Make a
sound in the East but attack in the West”: do that signaling but plan to do
something else that is different. Give a signal by all means to your
opposition, and the opposition will then develop strategies in order to counter
what you are about to release, but you will work on “another side of the issue”.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> “To feign
madness, but to keep your balance”: to deceive your business opposition. For
example, when you are drinking with your Chinese partners, you yourself remain
as though you are a little bit drunk, a little bit mad, but in fact you are
still sharp and aware of what is going on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Chinese
companies have very low brand awareness: the clothes you may be wearing right
now have been manufactured in China, but you do not know the brands. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> One example
of a successful Chinese global brand is Lenovo – a relatively successful merger
between Chinese company and a part of American company (in 2004, IBM’s personal
computing division was sold to Lenovo Holdings). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> Chimerica? China
and America: there is increasing interdependence of China and America. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">These two
countries rely on each other to some extent for their growth (in the case of
China), and the economic recovery (in the case of the US). America is
increasingly relying on cheap economic goods as part of its economic recovery. Moreover,
China is a country that now has great savings, and is investing in US Treasury
bonds. Now it is the largest investor in US Treasury bonds in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> The
so-called ethnocentrism restricts the outlook and the view of many Chinese
people: in the mind of the many Chinese people China is the center of the World
(and the World should be coming to them to do business with, not they should be
going out) and other countries have to pay allegiance to China. Many of the
countries (Japan etc.) did this for many years, somehow like: “Please, do not
invade us”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

that they are fulfilling their responsibilities. It leads to the huge headaches
for managers, but does not operate particularly well in the context of global
companies.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Traditionally, in Asia women were discriminated. And
there is the emphasis on the authority of the husband over the wife in
Confucianism – so, some people have taken that fact and applied it to the
general society.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> But in some societies of Asia there has been a
maternalistic style of leadership: for example, there is a matriarchal society
in Sumatra in Indonesia called the Minangkabau, where inheritance etc. is down
through the mother’s rather than the farther’s line. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Philippines is often regarded as a matriarchal

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> However, the first language of many people in Asia is

<div class="MsoNormal">

the sense of being one. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

modern society! Nothing for free available during the flight, even the plastic
cup of tea or coffee. Fortunately, exceptions always exist! While flying from
Copenhagen to Berlin we were proposed some drinks and snacks without extra pay.
And chocolates as gifts for all passengers at the exit! That was a nice go! Especially
when there is something to compare! </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">J</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

since childhood I have always dreamt about riding on a real and large Roller
Coaster. And this was it: the exact way of how I imagined and dreamt about – large
Roller Coaster with the train riding (not just seats attached to its top),
hinges and helixes… Yes, that was my dream: to feel how it is, to experience
that kind of real adrenalin (at the same time being sure that everything is
well and at worst I can close my eyes and just wait </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">J</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">). And I felt it –
even more: together with my darling sitting on the first row. Max kept silence
and I told some separate words from time to time. Without screaming: too high
dose of shock! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

trip” (“Helix” reaches the speed of a hundred kilometers per hour) was the
following: “Would it be possible to stay hanging in the attraction in case the
protection breaks”. That is why I held tight on with both hands the whole way
till it stopped. Just to be on the safe side or, to be more exact, to think so!
