Notes about meaning of life, happiness and disappointment (Part I) These days I more often thought about what meaning of life is. Certainly there isn't general answer on this question because for every person the answer will be differed. For some people the meaning of life it's family, for others it's money, for someone else it's pleasure. I think it's really important every person to give answer this question, because living their lives depends on it. I think meaning of life must be closely related to notion of happiness. Those things which make you feel happy and satisfied should be the main things on which be based your meaning of life. I consider things which make you happy must be refer to different areas of your life: to your job, your private life, your hobbies because if you focus only on one thing you will feel unhappy in others. Human life is many-sided so it's practically impossible to you feel happy if you have succeeded just in one thing. For example, if you work hard all the time you may get a high position in your company, but you won't have enough time for your private life and hobbies. So one day you will ask yourself for what I have reached everything what I have and you might realize that it's not exactly what you wanted because actually you wanted something completely different, for example, to have a big family, but now you have no wife and no children. It may turn out that you just aren't ready to this, but there is no turning back. I'm not trying to say everyone should get married and have kids, I'm trying to say you should imagine and think about your potential future if you want its not to be a surprise for you. Another point is you should deal with those things which make you happy long term. For this reason it doesn't make sense to have any bad habits such as smoking, taking drugs, drinking a lot of alcohol or something like this, because sooner or later satisfaction in that will be replaced by suffering. You should guard against those things which destruct you because as a result you will get a lot of problem which will make your life miserable. So it would be a good option to choose constructive things aimed at self-development and self-improvement like concern for your health, care for your family, improvement your human and mental qualities and so on. Also it would be ideal to choose those things in which you are sure and which will never get bored to you. One day it'll help you to avoid disappointment and not fall into trap in which you would feel that all your life was just a mistake.

I want to quit smoking. What should I do? You should gradually decrease quantity of cigarettes which you smoke a day. You should understand how much damage smoking deals to your health. That understanding can help you do smoking desire weaker. You should avoid thoughts about smoking and smokers. You can try to substitute habbit of smoking for something else, for example, for eating lollypop or chewing gum.

About my daily routine On the weekdays I usually wake up around 7 o'clock in the morning. I don't hurry to get up because I need some time to awake. I get up at quarter past seven and go to have a shower. I prefer to have a contrast shower to get energy on the whole day. After having shower I go in the kitchen to make breakfast. Usually I prefer a light meal in the morning and I eat not much. Then I brush my teeth and get dressed. Then I do makeup and it's twenty minutes past eight that means time comes to go to work. I don't have a car yet but someday I hope to buy it. I go to the bus stop and I wait for the bus. I check my email and read news on the way to work. But not always I do it. Sometimes I try to meditate and it happens passengers think I fell asleep and they wake me up. I open my eyes and say "Don't touch me, please! I just try find myself in the morning meditation". Once while I meditated I fell asleep but in that day nobody woke me up. So I try not to meditate if I want to sleep. The way from home to work usually takes around 40 minutes. I come to the office at 9:00 am. I have a tea break about 11 o'clock in the morning. At one o'clock in the evening I have a lunch break. It lasts 1 hour. Usually I finish my work at six in the evening. But sometimes when I have a lot of work I can finish it at 8 pm or even 9 pm. I love my job and it's interesting for me too much. Sometimes it can be too hard but it can't stop me because I don't like losing. I get home around 7:00 pm but if I need go to the shop I'm at home at half past seven. I have a dinner around 8 pm. And then I relax. I can to watch some movie or series, listen to music, read news or some science articles or chat with my friends. Three times a week I go doing fitness. It's important for me to be a fit and have a healthy body. On the weekdays I usually go to bed around midnight. But sometimes something interesting can hold me a couple of hours and then I go to sleep around 2 am or even 3 am. After that night I feel terrible and angry in the morning so I try not to allow to happen that.
