today my part is going to be very-very short. i would just like to tell you that there is a very special book out there - "autobiography" by morrissey (he is a british musician, singer, songwriter and an extraordinary human being). i have wanted to read his book for a couple of years and finally last autumn i got it with a friend in paris. from the first page, i could see that this book was outstanding, there was something very different from most books. in the end, it was even better than i thought it would be. the way he works with words is truly magical. fastforward to last week, when i decided that if i cannot keep on buying new books on amazon right now, i will re-read my old ones. at first, this thought seemed pathetic and made me even more upset than i was before, but as i opened this book, i realized that it was actually a great idea. i am coming back to kiev tomorrow and i am looking forward to keep on picking up books from my shelves, that i have previously read a year or two ago and discovering their treasures again.

fourty five reasons to read morrissey`s autobiography
today my part is going to be very-very short. i would just like to tell you that there is a very special book out there - "autobiography" by morrissey (he is a british musician, singer, songwriter and an extraordinary human being). i have wanted to read his book for a couple of years and finally last autumn i got it with a friend in paris. from the first page, i could see that this book was outstanding, there was something very different from most books. in the end, it was even better than i thought it would be. the way he works with words is truly magical. fastforward to last week, when i decided that if i cannot keep on buying new books on amazon right now, i will re-read my old ones. at first, this thought seemed pathetic and made me even more upset than i was before, but as i opened this book, i realized that it was actually a great idea. i am coming back to kiev tomorrow and i am looking forward to keep on picking up books from my shelves, that i have previously read a year or two ago and discovering their treasures again.

quotes part two / reading
five months after i published "quotes part one", it is time for a second part. i am sincerely surprised, that i did not do it much earlier, as i constantly find and save new inspirational and motivational phrases. sometimes i share them with someone close, sometimes i just re-write them in my various notebooks. today i would like to share some of them with you, and i will do it differently - i won`t take five quotes from different sources, instead i will take ten (!) from one book, that i have previously mentioned in this post. i am talking about "god never blinks" by regina brett. actually, i decided to do it right away after finishing the book, but, as you see, it took me some time to get my hands on this post and write it in the end. shall we begin?

it`s time for a change / quotes part one
(текст на русском - ниже)
on one hand, i believe that every single day is a chance to start a new life, to change yourself and the way you live (definitely start this long-term and complex process). on the other, i am also familiar with human nature, and that we need things to push us. new year is one of those things. everyone feels ready to start something new, change, succeed. unfortunately, far from everyone is capable of mantaining this state of mind for the rest of the year. and this is why today i would like to share with you a couple of quotes, that inspire me to become better and keep on doing things, even when i do not feel like doing this/i think that i cannot/i am scared/i am simply lazy etc.
and speaking of quotes, i must confess that i am a big fan. i have always been and i still am. i am on in constant search for new quotes to save and re-read when needed. sharing some of them with you seems important to me, and this is the reason why i am doing it. try to not just read them, but also write them down in your notebook or on a piece of paper. repeat it every time you know you have to do something, but you cannot due to this or that reason. i am not saying a couple of words will save your life, but they can definitely help you get in the right mood and start doing things! however, you have to try hard too!

and remember that it is n e v e r too late to start!
с одной стороны, я верю в то, что каждый день - это шанс начать новую жизнь, поменять себя и то, как ты живешь (по крайней мере, дать старт этому длительному и комплексному процессу). с другой же, я знакома с человеческой природой, и мне известно, что нам нужно, чтобы что-то нас подталкивало. новый год - одна из таких "толкающих" штук. все чувствуют готовность начать что-то новое, меняться, достигать успеха. к сожалению, далеко не всем удается сохранить это состояние разума до конца года. и именно поэтому сегодня я решила поделиться с тобой несколькими цитатами, которые вдохновляют меня на то, чтобы становиться лучше и продолжать делать что-то, даже когда я не в настроении/думаю, что не могу/испугана/просто ленюсь и так далее.
кстати, о цитатах. должна признаться, что я тот еще фанат. всегда им была и продолжаю им оставаться. я нахожусь в постоянном поиске новых цитат, чтобы сохранять их и перечитывать в нужный момент. мне кажется важным поделиться с некоторыми из них с тобой, и именно по этой причине я пишу этот пост. я не говорю, что несколько слов спасут твою жизнь, но они однозначно могут помочь тебе обрести правильное настроение и начать делать то, что нужно. только и тебе придется приложить некоторые усилия!
"насколько ты свободен по сравнению с тем, насколько свободным ты хотел(а) бы быть?"
"быть собой - огромная ответственность. гораздо проще быть кем-то другим или никем вообще", - сильвия плат.
"радикально поменяй свой образ жизни и начни смело делать то, о совершении чего ранее и не думал, или же не решался попробовать", - джон кракауер.
"если ждать минуты, когда всё, решительно всё будет готово, никогда не придётся начинать", - иван тургенев.
"страсть - это то, что помогает пережить тебе самые трудные времена, которые, в противном случае, делают сильных людей слабыми, или же заставляют сдаться", - нил деграсс тайсон.
и помни, что начать н и к о г д а не поздно!
