Once upon a time this book made a great impression on me. I still re-read it from time to time. I highly recommend it to those who has not read it yet.
And for those who has no time to read, here is a summary:

State-minded people and businessmen in uniform
- 30 April 2019 - 01:08
- #business #Friendship #morality
Among my former colleagues, government officials, there are many people who perform their duties conscientiously. In their service they think only about the public interests. I call them “state-minded people”. I treasure the friendship and respect of such people.
Also, there are other officials who see civil service as a source of …

Debtors.

Serik and Berik were best friends since the student’s bench. Together they studied at the university, together they started business, together they earned their first money in simple “buy-sell” operations, got rich, created their families.
But at some point the turnover of their company began to fall, and, in the end, the stores had to be closed and sold. But …

Spiritual growth in small things.
- 18 May 2018 - 20:45
- #Friendship #philosophy #Spirituality
When you read many books about spirituality and accept them, you penetrate these ideas, you begin to grow spiritually.
But sometimes this spirituality does not extend to your daily life, does not reach small everyday things.
Today, when I returned to my car in the parking lot of the shopping center, I found that the owner of the next car …

Persistence as a sign of reliability.

- #Friendship #morality #society
I do not like people, who hide or often change phone numbers, who do not display avatars, who do not show their presence on the network, who disable the signal of reading messages.
There is some kind of secrecy, cunning, slipperiness.
I do not trust such people.
I like honest, open, direct guys.…

The opinion of the guys from the yard.

As a child, I lived in an apartment building. Each of these buildings had its own yard and its own company of boys.
I remember a boy living in one yard. I think his name was Nurlan. He was stronger and larger than his peers, and he was a bully. He kept the whole yard in …

The Turks.

In the 90s, my parents lived in the Straight Way near Alma-Ata.
At that time, it was a clean, well-groomed village. People lived amicably and cheerfully in it. Families of different nationalities lived on our street: Kazakhs, Turks, Russians, and Ukrainians. The closest neighbors to us were two families opposite to our house: uncle Abzar with …

It’s all relative

I remember, when we lived in Kostanay, on warm days after work, my wife and I always strolled from the Russian Theater along Al-Farabi Avenue to the City Center. Walking, we complained that it is so boring in Kostanay, there’s nowhere to go, while Astana is a different story!
Then we …

Respect through touchiness
- 27 July 2015 - 00:52
- #culture #Friendship
Probably everyone has a friend who earns respect through touchiness and vindictiveness?
In relation to these people you can often hear something like “We must invite him to the birthday party, or he will be offended.”
And then at the party everyone …
