I know a woman who hates domestic work. She just hates it. But she pretends that she likes it because she has been taught that to be good wife material she has to be — to use that Nigerian word — very “homely.” And then she got married, and after a while her husband’s family began to complain that she had changed. Actually, she had not changed. She just gotten tired of pretending.

… But victory’s contagious. This line from Lorde’s song ensures me that it is very important who are around you. You know, it is pleasing when your close people are very successful persons. Moreover, this fact inspire you to work harder. You see the person who doesn’t differ from you much could achieve it, so you understand that your goals is reached. You may be jealous a little, but I suppose it is natural and even good, health envy stimulates motivation. Anyway, I think people who surround you should encourage you to develop yourself. If it’s not you case, I suggest it’s time to change your encircling. If your friends don’t criticize you or, what is worse, propel you to leave the course to the success, they never will help you to reach what you aspire to.

In the past nine months, the question I've been asked the most is why. Why now? Why was I sticking my head above the parapet? You can read between the lines in those questions, and the answer has nothing to do with politics. The top note answer was and is because it's time: time to stop tip-toeing around my past; time to stop living a life of opprobrium; and time to take back my narrative. It's also not just about saving myself. Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing: You can survive it. I know it's hard. It may not be painless, quick or easy, but you can insist on a different ending to your story. Have compassion for yourself. We all deserve compassion, and to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.

That whole Cinderella thing is such crap! Those stories mess you up. The most offensive thing is that you're expected to show gratitude. I have a problem with the mainstream idea of a marriage proposal. The woman isn't sure and then one day he whips out the ring and she goes 'oh!' I mean what the f**k is that? The idea that you're waiting for him to decide. Or - worse yet - that you have to find a way into manipulating him into marriage. Jesus. It makes me so angry. For many women, success is still linked to what a man can add to your life. I often tell my female friends that it's important for women to find themselves. You need to explore.

Tips for success from Harvey Spector: 1. Win your battles before they’ve even been fought – Harvey likes to win his cases outside of court because going to court is expensive. Just like with anything else, if you can find an option that allows you to win your battles without actually having to go to war, take it. 
2. Be a risk taker – If you never take any chances, I guarantee you will have a dull, boring and shitty life. 
3. Don’t try to lose small, try to win big - This is one of those glass half empty or glass half full kinda things. If you frame your mind in a way that always looks to minimize your losses, you’re never going to make it big in life. 
4. Take control of and own your responsibilities - Harvey brought Mike on board so he knows that if Mike screws up, it’s on him. You choose your behaviour, so you choose your consequences. 
5. Following every single rule gets you nowhere – If you’re not willing to break the rules once in a while, you’re going to be at a huge disadvantage. By following the rules every single time, you’re only letting your competition get ahead by being naive enough to believe that they will do the same. 
6. Play the man, not the odds - If you structure your life in a way that only uses logic, 99% of the time you’re going to come up short. Anybody can play the odds. Anybody can use logic to try and sell a product, land a client or create a business. It’s those who know how to adjust their strategies based on the emotional intelligence gathered from others, who will come up on top. 
7. Appearances are important – Understand that the way you look has a direct impact on the way others perceive you. First impressions are everything and the way you present yourself to a prospective employer or client has everything to do with whether or not they choose you. 
8. The success of your client is a success of yours - This is straight forward enough. Your goal shouldn’t be to make your client happy, your goal should be to make them succeed. 
9. Master the art of reading people - Harvey Specter plays poker on his off days. Maybe that’s how he learned to be so good at reading people. It’s an important skill to have. People around you are always giving out tiny signals and if you are able to catch them and use them to your advantage, you will be extremely successful in business. Learn to predict what others are going to do before they actually do it. 
10. Be cool and keep your composure – Be cool even in tough situations. Keeping your composure during difficult times allows others to have confidence in you. 
11. Do what you have to do – “Sometimes the good guys gotta do bad things to make the bad guys pay.” 
12. Have interests and hobbies outside of work – I don’t know about you but I want that vinyl record collection he has in his office. 
13. There’s no such thing as lying to protect someone -”Lying to me doesn’t protect me. It betrays me.” 
14. Sometimes being cocky is okay - If you’re good at what you do, there’s no reason you can’t brag about it. 
15. Study, learn and know your competition - You always have to be one step ahead. 
16. Don’t think like a rookie even if you are one - Everyone has to start somewhere, but that doesn’t mean you can’t open your mind up to think like a veteran. 
17. Don’t waste time trying to explain the problem, fix it instead - When you come across a problem, people appreciate it more when you spend your time wisely, trying to fix the problem rather than reporting the issues to someone else (like your boss). In the time constrained society that we live in today, every second counts and a second spent talking rather than doing is a second wasted. 
18. Don’t wear a damn skinny tie to work - Seriously, just dont.

It’s true. All wonderful things happen occasionally. I found this band by chance while I was scrolling mу news tape. I turned on the “Unfold”and transferred in another world. Actually, it was not another world, may be it was my inner world. I was having a strong feeling of… I don’t know… Of understanding something what I was experiencing, what I wanted, what I was pursuing. The xx is represents my perception of life. When I am listening to them I’m feeling that it’s all about me, my relationships, my experiences. I’m sure there are many people who feel similarly, I believe these people will be so happy, because they have incredible fragile universes inside themselves. Thank you, The XX! You've made me more sensible.

"I’m not ashamed to talk frankly. I thought that’s one thing you liked about me. My openness. Imagining you could no longer love me is far worse for me than what you call the rules I set for myself. I know we’re two people, and so like anyone we could be together. But for how long? If we’re two ordinary people, how long will our love last? Eternal love doesn’t exist, not even in books. So loving means for a finite time. There’d be no miracle for us, we’re no different to anyone else. If I give myself to you, you’ll go off."

Probably my favorite painting style is hyperrealism. As for me, this style is very sensual, gorgeous and impressive. Actually, I admire such works, I suppose this art style is extremely difficult, so such an artist must be genius, very gifted and assiduous. I remember when I saw such works for the first time. My “first” hyperrealist was Jacob Fletcher. I was looking through his paintings for hours. I was so delighted!

Whatever you say to the police, can and will be misconstrued to support the prosecution. So when in doubt, shut up your mouth!

I found it by chance. Dmitry Rebus’s works catch your attention, give you excellent food for thought and provide incredible pleasure. Most of them have a powerful social connotation. I suppose there is no necessity to say about professionalism of the author. People say: “This young artist understands watercolors. Soft and thin paints in his hands become sharpened blade.”

Russian photographers don’t understand that Russia is an exotic country. My German colleague, with whom we did a photo-project about Russian football, said: “I don't believe that I was in Kazan!” Sucheta Das, a wonderful Indian photographer, wrote to me: “I’m so envious! You live in such an interesting country. I’m dying of boredom in Calcutta” - Sergey Maximishin (c)

“You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you to reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.”
