In pursuit of success and money
I believe that you have already heard (and not once) the discussion about value of money. Two the most opposite viewpoints lie in the following ideas. Some people say (and I hope they believe to their own words) that money can't give happiness. According to them you can be absolutelly happy even if you live in poverty. All happiness inside - it's all about your thoughts and how you feel. The other ones claim that it is absolutelly impossible to be happy if you haven't got solid bank account.
Frankly, I hardly can agree with the first "camp", because I can't imagine myself being happy without well paid job, but still - the more time is passing the more I think that it could be the right thought. Many of us in our persuit to earn more money or get some higher position at work just forgert about life. 12 hours 5 days per week - no problem! But what in the end? You can wake up some day and realise that a lot of years were wasted irrevocably. Is it worth it? Maybe we should take a break and think about what we are doing and what we really want to do, becasue life is actually not very long thing.

Learn by yourself or with teacher?
It's quite a widespread question on the Internet. And, of course, there are different pointviews. Some people prefer to study language by themselves explaining this by the following reasons:
1) The prefer to study at their own pace - people just don't want to wait for someone or keep up with super fast students; 2) Some people are very shy and they just afraid of asking any questions in front of other students or participate in discussions;
3) Some people just don't want to spend a lot of time doing some exercises during the lesson as they can do it at home without any help (the point is: "I can do it at home and if a have any questions I'll ask them later" )
These statements are pretty convincing but there is another "camp". Some people tell that the only right way of studuing is studying with a teacher. And they explain it with these arguments:
1) If you don't want to do mistakes and repeat them over and over again you definitely should study with a teacher - he/she is the only way to avoid them;
2) teacher (classes) can provide useful practice - you can work in groups and have conversation on different topics. Live contact is very imortant thing;
3) Teacher usually give some extra information about every topic and also can explain new ones using the most appropriate and simple examples.
As to me, I believe that truth is amid these two ways. The most effective studying lies in both attending some language courses and studying by yourself. Of course there are some more factors like - is teacher good or not, are you lazy pig or not)

The end of summer? Is it so bad?
Every year I can hear something like: "Oh, the end of summer is close - that's awful!". I can understand young people studying at school but I can't understand people who work and share this position. Dont get me wrong sun it's good when you are on vacation but it's definetely not good when you are sitting at workplace. Also I don't like summer for hot nights. You know, it's hard to get sleep when it's very hot in flat. How do you feel about this? (You can write in russian if you learn it - I'll check)
