An active life position is a start to success.
Have you ever asked yourself what kind of person you are, what kind of person you want to become? Now I am at an age (I am 15 years old) when it is important to choose, to determine for myself the moral laws by which I will strive to live. At my age it’s difficult to do this, but you have to try. And diaries help many people understand these complex issues.
I've been keeping a diary since the seventh grade. Mine! For myself! I add observations and thoughts into it, write down what I’m interested in, who I met, what was interesting and useful in class, what people play a significant role in my life, why they attract me. Diary of young Tolstoy. Yesenin's moral code... A wonderful example of how a person shapes himself, his personality.
I try to be an individual. So, one day in my life.
Early morning, I run out of the entrance of the house in a tracksuit, heading towards the stadium. My neighbors, grandmothers, are already sitting on the bench, groaning: “Poor child, he gets up so early!” How poor am I? I'm in a great mood, I'm cheerful and full of energy. Smiling, I greet my neighbors, who burst into smiles: “Hello, daughter.” The French philosopher D. Diderot believed: “The happiest person is the one who gives happiness to the greatest number of people” (entry from my diary). You see: I’m happy - people are smiling around me.
“A person who is closely connected with people bears responsibility and duty to them, that is, he must be a citizen,” I hear the calm, measured voice of my social studies teacher, “in the famous poem by A. Nekrasov there is a phrase: “A worthy son of the Fatherland.” What lofty words! Everyone is born a son, but not every son becomes worthy. Who is guilty? And I hear: “Where are the parents looking? The school is not involved in education at all...” We need to do it self-education. The earlier the better. To study from an early age, and especially during the period of self-affirmation, that is, during adolescence and youth (again I remembered the story of Tolstoy, his main character - Nikolenka Artemyev). But let’s delve into the everyday meaning of Nekrasov’s definition of a citizen. I am a student, a person inevitably subordinate to parents and teachers. The framework of my life is quite rigid, so where is the field in which I can show citizenship?
Please, a simple situation: today a cleanup day has been announced at school, everyone is going out to clean the territory. Someone participates in this matter because they are afraid of punishment, and someone lives by the principle: “If not me, then who?” (entry from my diary), realizes the significance of his participation. This formula is “If not me, then who?” will help determine the degree of my civic maturity: if I deviate from a less pleasant task under a trifling pretext, it means that I don’t have a penny of citizenship. You need to participate in public affairs, then you simply cannot live any other way, then you will feel happy and go through life with success.
An active person must have many human virtues, develop these virtues in himself, because “the properties of one worthy person become common property, create an active position of a person, then a group of people, and then society” (entry from my diary). My friends are waiting for me, today we have a headman! This is where interesting people are, lively, inquisitive, with their souls rooted for a common cause! Decade of Elderly People - of course, we will help teachers - veterans of teaching work, Teacher's Day - we will draw an unusual bright newspaper, the "White Flowers" campaign will help children with tuberculosis. There is something for everyone who wants it, just don’t stand on the sidelines.
Our school director always says: “Little knowledge, dishonest studies are signs of a future bad worker, and therefore a bad citizen.” And if you are a bad citizen, you are unable to work for the benefit of people, which means you will not achieve success in life. My mother is a successful person, she works for people, in the name of a future life. Every day she “accepts” a new life - a newborn, what a joy it is! And, following her example, I am an excellent student, am interested in anatomy, and dream of becoming a pediatrician.
I don’t have time, like Oblomov, to “confess my love” to the sofa, and after classes I run to the Central Library to prepare for the all-Russian competition “We Build Our Own World.” Together with my classmates, under the guidance of our literature teacher, we are preparing a social project “My choice: how to live today in order to see tomorrow.” I don’t know if we will succeed in this research work, but I see “tomorrow” as beautiful, like this golden autumn, like these “forests dressed in crimson and gold” (literature and art have a place in my life).
In the Ancient Book I read: “The absolute property of life is continuous movement. It is the great breath of the Universe, of boundless space” (entry from my diary). In the evening - training at your favorite sports complex. No, I don’t have high awards in sports, I just want to “be in shape,” beautiful both in body and soul. And our coach is a pleasure to communicate with such a wise, albeit strict, but fair mentor!
I return home late in the evening, there are the same old neighbors on the bench and again I hear: “Poor thing, when does she rest?!”
I am the richest man in the world: I have parents who love me, teachers who believe in me, friends who help me. “I stand, and grow, and walk, and think - I AM A MAN” (my favorite lines by Mikhail Prishvin).
I pick up a diary - I don’t have the strength to write in it today, but I have a “whole” Sunday! Since the seventh grade I have been keeping a diary that helps me live.
Have you ever asked yourself what kind of person you are, what kind of person you want to become? I want to be personality, and this means not to lose face. Vladimir Solovyov wrote: “Live the life of the whole, push the boundaries of your little self in all directions, “take to heart” the work of others and the work of everyone... and you will actually see the meaning of life....”
And one last thing. I consider myself a person who leads an active healthy lifestyle, I haven’t thought about SUCCESS yet (there is nothing successful in my life yet), but I’m thinking: I need a lot to SUCCESS!
Active life position - a start to success
My life is a continuous series of events. I take off, then I fall, then I find, then I lose...
Since childhood, I have been wired this way. I couldn't sit still. I constantly wanted to learn something new. I ran, jumped, and did not notice my carefree childhood. But then I turned seven years old, and I went to first grade.
I still remember my first step towards an active life. My favorite school helped make it. Of course, there were also rehearsals with Nina Aronovna Gubareva. I read E. Uspensky’s poem “My Puppy” at the competition. I was eight years old then. And now it's fifteen.
Time flies very quickly, very unnoticed. Our lives will fly by in the same way. Before you have time to blink your eye, everything that happened is already behind you. I don’t understand those people who stop at one thing and don’t want to fly further, don’t want to discover new talents and opportunities. After all, our reality is so boring, which is probably why I chose creativity. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than the excitement before a concert, or rehearsals in full gear.
Everyone finds themselves in different ways, and everyone finds their own idols. My idol has been Dmitry Bikbaev for four years now. Lately, I have begun to appreciate and respect him more and more, and very often I say a huge thank you to him! His words really encourage me. And poetry allows thoughts to “break out” into the light.
There is only one meaning in life
But it’s empty too
If there is no development
To the never-ending aspiration
Towards an unattainable ideal...
These are his words... She “touched” my soul so much that I changed. And I began to notice that after Dmitry’s work, a person becomes better. Sometimes you even begin to forget about words like “cool”, “cool”, words of admiration “great” come out of your mouth
You're probably reading this now and don't understand what I'm talking about? It’s just that Dmitry Bikbaev was born into an ordinary family, in Ussuriysk. Like me, at the age of eight, I began to participate everywhere, strived upward, and then came to Moscow and entered GITIS (RATI). Imagine, a simple boy from Ussuriysk entered one of the most prestigious theater universities in the world! And he not only entered, but graduated with honors. But I started like everyone else. From school matinees.
Burn it without reading it
As before, her gaze burned.
And after the memory, say
Why did you portray love so passionately...
This is also the work of Dmitry Bikbaev. He is currently releasing his own book.
What will happen to me? Unfortunately, I don’t know this. But I am striving now to lay the foundation for my future profession.
About two years ago I realized what theater is. I realized how great and immortal it is! I realized that at the moment theater is my life. Yes, yes, I know that it is still very early for me to talk about such great things, but still, on my list it is written in capital letters: ENTER NGTI!!! Who would have thought that that competition at the age of eight would help me make a head start on success! Start to the future! And even though I’m not good at studying, the letters “N” sometimes appear in the class magazine. I’m happy because I don’t sit still for a long time. I have a favorite thing! I have beloved friends and loved ones! I have many hobbies! In addition to reading poetry, I am attracted to music. In the fifth grade she graduated from music school, taking accordion class. I recently learned a few chords on the guitar. And thanks to Dmitry Bikbaev, I became acquainted with poetry not as a reader, but as a poet. I hope that in the near future many will hear my “abstract rhymes.”

How often do you hear or say the phrases “I don’t care”, “I don’t know”, “It doesn’t matter”? What we say is not just words. Our words, actions, gestures for the most part are a reflection of our inner world. Excessively frequent use of phrases of indifference may indicate an inability to desire and achieve the fulfillment of one’s desires. We say: “It’s all the same...” and those who care decide for us. We say: “It doesn’t matter” and those for whom this difference exists decide for us. You can approach life and your own future in different ways: work with enthusiasm or half-heartedly, care about the benefits of the business or only about yourself, go towards difficulties or hide in the bushes, take an active position or just a comfortable one. One of the secrets of self-realization and success is an active life position, courage of initiative and readiness to act.
The dynamics of modern social relations require a school graduate to have a certain set of qualities. If you study the requirements of employers according to advertisements in the “Vacancies” section, you can draw up an approximate psychological portrait of the person being hired. In addition to business and professional qualities, employers want to see such as activity and communication skills, the ability to overcome difficulties and initiative, the desire for creativity and mobility, discipline and responsibility. Consequently, a graduate needs an active life position, including in order for him to be competitive in the labor market. What do we mean by the term “active life position”? An active life position means actions in the name of achieving a goal, selecting ways to overcome problems by searching for constructive solutions. The basis of an individual’s active life position is the motive for achieving success. During school years, an active life position is manifested in the ability to realize oneself in various types of activities: in social work, in sports events, in school or class self-government, etc. The life of a student becomes much brighter and more interesting if he realizes himself not only in his studies, but also in extracurricular or extracurricular work. For active people, it is very important to study well, work effectively, and achieve high quality in any type of activity. They strive to improve an existing result or obtain a fundamentally new one; are able to enjoy their work or educational activities; enjoy success in small things; They are interested in completing the work they have started, since they clearly know why they need it. They are more persistent in overcoming obstacles. As a rule, such people are successful already at the stage of choosing a profession, since they are interested in future prospects and are able to plan their professional growth in advance. Having an active life position gives a person the opportunity for quick career advancement, because management notices such personnel at the beginning of their professional path. Sometimes, already at the stage of practical training, such students may receive tempting job offers. In addition to career growth and financial stability, an active position provides recognition among colleagues, prestige and a certain amount of independence associated with the ability to make decisions independently. In turn, such a specialist receives moral satisfaction from his work and the opportunity for his own development in the process of activity.
How to develop an active life position in yourself? Where to begin?
1. Learn to set goals
Where should you start any activity first? From the statement of purpose. The vagueness of expected results and the reluctance to understand oneself provoke difficulties in setting adequate goals. Pay attention to the rules for formulating goals. The goal should be:
- specific;
- measurable;
- motivating;
- realistic;
- limited in terms of achievement.
2. Get rid of bad habits
Bad habits here mean not only alcohol abuse and smoking, we are talking about something that can take up a lot of your time without any benefit. For example, aimless spending time on social networks, spending many hours in on-line games. This does not mean that you should completely stop appearing on social networks or your favorite game, just know when to stop, because the time saved can be spent on something else.
3. Read
Expand your horizons. Read books, popular science magazines, online blogs of successful people, etc. Get useful information in various fields: economics, politics, sociology, psychology, etc.
4. Make the most of every weekend
The main purpose of the weekend is not to sleep in and “do nothing.” Have an active holiday: visit museums, exhibitions, theaters, communicate with interesting people, make new acquaintances. The more impressions you get, the better you will begin to understand many things.
5. Master time management
Time management is a technology for organizing time and increasing the efficiency of its use. In some ways, it is not so much a set of techniques as it is a lifestyle and philosophy of valuing time in a fast flow of information and an ever-changing world. Learn to plan your time, this will be very useful at different stages of professional growth.
6. Bring newness into your life
Take the risk of changing your image, rearrange your room. Show interest in those types of art that you currently know little about. Finding something new will allow you to develop your creativity.
7. Invest in yourself
Today, getting just one education is not enough. Knowledge in many areas is required everywhere. Of course, if you study at only one college or university, then obtaining all the necessary knowledge for further work will be problematic for you. Therefore, you should consider obtaining additional education. You can attend all kinds of trainings and seminars. And remember that you can study in additional educational programs while still a student.
8. Don't be afraid
Try to overcome the fear that your ideas may not work out. Successful people always take risks. It's impossible to know if an idea was a good one without trying it.
9. Surround yourself with successful people
Learn from the examples of successful people. Ask them for advice. Communicate with them as much as possible. Acquire knowledge that can be very useful in the future.
10. Leave negative experiences in the past
Live in the present and think about the future. Take only valuable experiences from the past, and let go of all negative experiences. Otherwise, instead of moving forward, you will constantly look back.
How active is your life position?
If you want to find out how active your life position is, we suggest you evaluate a number of statements. If you agree with the corresponding statement, then put a “+” sign next to its number.
- I know my goals and desires well.
- I have studied myself, I know what I am capable of.
- I am able to navigate the flow of information and independently obtain the necessary information.
- I believe in myself, in the possibility of achieving success and the planned things.
- I believe that I have the right to choose in any competitive situation - not only am I chosen, but I also choose.
- I know how to turn to other people for help and make them allies in the implementation of my plans.
- I know how to benefit from mistakes, learn from my own experience and from the experience of other people.
- When faced with an obstacle, I look for new ways to resolve the difficulty.
- I feel enough strength and energy to realize my goals.
- When planning ways to achieve the main option, I always think about a backup one.
- I strive to gain experience by trying myself in different areas.
- I constantly analyze and adjust my actions depending on the results obtained.
- I am able to take into account the opinions of other people when developing and implementing my plans, without losing my position.
- I have the skills to behave in business situations: I know how to arrange a meeting with the right people, introduce myself, talk about my capabilities.
Count the number of pluses that came out in the end.
- 12-14 – Your position is very active, you know your goals and desires well and confidently go towards them. You are energetic and active, surpass others in your activity and speed of decision-making, and know how to take responsibility. In your environment, you are desired and loved, primarily for your dynamism and extraordinary activity.
- 8-11 – Your position is quite active, but you do not always have enough determination to achieve the fulfillment of your desires. Your ability to act quite often depends on your desire and mood.
- less than 8 – Unfortunately, your energy is not your strongest quality. You get tired quickly and are reluctant to take on responsibility. Keep your opinions to yourself and prefer to remain on the sidelines. There is too much indifference and caution in your relationships with others. You have great difficulty making decisions. Your energy, as well as your ability to act, depend on your imagination and not always justified fear. It makes sense to think seriously and, perhaps, consult a psychologist-vocational consultant.
Indicators of the formation of an active life position:
- a positive attitude towards business and undertakings, readiness to carry them out;
- having experience in participating in public life, which is associated with performing specific duties and assignments;
- presence of a certain level of organizational skills;
- feeling responsible for one's work;
- favorable position in interpersonal communication.
An active position presupposes independent, creative, flexible behavior. And the activity of the position and success depends only on you! Follow the above recommendations, show more initiative in different areas of activity and remember that “water does not flow under a lying stone.”
Active life position - start to success
My life is a continuous series of events. I take off, I fall, I sink, I lose...
Even as a child, I was wired this way. I couldn't sit still. I constantly wanted to learn something new. I ran, jumped, and did not notice my carefree childhood. Now I was seven years old and started first grade.
I still remember my first step towards an active life. My favorite school helped make it. Of course, there were no rehearsals with Nina Aronovna Gubareva. I read E. Uspensky’s poem “My Puppy” at a competition. I was eight years old then. It's fifteen now.
Time flies very quickly, very unnoticed. Also, our lives will fly by. Before you can blink your eye, everything that happened is already behind you. I don’t understand those people who stop at one thing and don’t want to fly further, don’t want to discover new talents and opportunities. After all, our reality is so boring, that’s probably why I chose creativity. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than the excitement before a concert, or rehearsals in full gear.
Everyone finds themselves differently, and everyone finds idols. My idol has been Dmitry Bikbaev for four years now. Lately I have begun to appreciate and respect him more and more, and very often I say a huge thank you to him! His words really encourage me. Astikhs allow thoughts to “break out” into the light.
There is only one meaning in life
This meaning is Love
Noiona empty
If there is no development
To the never-ending aspiration
To an unattainable ideal...
These are his words... She “touched” my soul so much that I changed. I began to notice that after Dmitry’s work, a person becomes better. Sometimes you even begin to forget about words like “cool”, “cool”, words of admiration “great” come out of your mouth.
You're probably reading this right now and don't understand what I'm saying? It’s just that Dmitry Bikbaev was born into an ordinary family, in VUssuriysk. Just like when I was eight years old, I began to participate everywhere, strived upward, and then came to Moscow and entered GITIS (RATI). Imagine, a simple boy from Ussuriysk entered one of the most prestigious theater universities in the world! It was not easy to enter, but he graduated with honors. But he started out like everyone else. Since school matinees.
Burn it without reading it,
As before, her gaze burned.
And after the memory, say
Why did you portray love so passionately...
This is also the work of Dmitry Bikbaev. He is currently releasing his own book.
So what will be doubtful? Unfortunately, I don’t know this. But I am already striving to lay the foundation for my future profession.
Two years ago I understood what theater was. I realized how great and immortal it is! I realized that at this moment the theater is my life. Yes, yes, I know that it is still very early for me to talk about such great things, but still, on my list it is written in capital letters: APPLY TO NGTI!!! Who would have thought that that competition for eight years would help me make a successful start! Start to the future! Even though I’m not strong in my studies, sometimes the letters “N” appear in the class magazine. I’m happy because I don’t sit still for a long time. I have a favorite thing! I have favorite friends and close people! I have many hobbies! In addition to reading poetry, I am attracted to music. In the fifth grade she graduated from music school with an accordion class. I recently learned a few guitar chords. Thanks to Dmitry Bikbaev, I became acquainted with poetry not as a reader, but as a poet. I hope that in the near future many will hear my “abstract rhymes”.
I have many, many unfinished tasks on my agenda! Which I am gradually implementing. I can shout loudly: “An active life position means a successful start!”
