My roles. As I am getting older I start thinking about things I had done in the past. I’m sure there were plenty of things I can be sorry for. For example: offending someone, wasting time and money, loving someone who didn’t deserve it, not taking advantage of good opportunities, or simply not being nice to someone. At the same time there are many things I can be proud of – working hard and supporting my loved ones, taking care of my kid and parents, being patient with them, being honest and delicate at the same time, if it’s possible. And being independent, don’t forget, it’s very important to be independent. Thinking about my life I realized that I don’t have to regret the past. The point is without the mistakes I made I wouldn’t be able to become what I am. Speaking of my life roles I can say that I use to juggle a few things at the same time. I’m a loving and carrying mom. I’m a cheerful and beloved wife, at least I hope this is truth. I’m an auditor and chief accountant. I’m an ambitious and hardworking student, who is studying English not only for travelling, but also for moving to another country. Also I’m an opera lover, and a dancer, and a person who is interested in politics. Sometimes I can be harsh and critical, this is from shortage of free time. But my family prefers me to be lazy and carefree. I’m not sure it’s great to be that way. But I am what I am.

To judge a book by its cover Saying “to judge a book by its cover” has meaning “to estimate person from the outside”. From my point of view it’s not right. The psychologists found out we tend to trust people who have a familiar features. For example, Russians believe more a person with fair hair, blue eyes and a big nose. These are the most common features in Russia. And we will expect honesty and sincerity from people who look familiar. But character traits aren’t related to appearance. So, we have to pay attention to behavior and actions to understand what kind of people we meet. In the bottom line, it’s not right to evaluate at a glance. We need to see more deeply.
