Human nature is so complicated. Those who have little, want a lot. Those who have a lot, think others have more. Those who lose, blame others for the loss.

The wishes of an honest man do not stretch beyond what he undoubtedly deserves.

People should respect those who have the courage to go alone through life.

To observe life as an inevitability and to observe the nuanced stratification of life are two completely different points of view on life.

Empathize with others. You may easily get into a situation where you need the understanding of others.

The essence of coexistence is quite simple: live and respect how others live.

Older people sometimes talk about the good old days when life was better. In fact, they talk nostalgically about their own youth that was irretrievably gone. The past century has made enormous progress in all fields. The standard of living, work environment, health care quality and mobility, and the availability of cultural programs, recreational activities and information _ all that clearly speaks in favor of nowadays.

Being blinded in love and friendship is a common mistake.

A person who is too proud in love will suffer from the devastating bitterness in the end.

You asked about important factors in management. I think the answer is quite simple _ the most important factor is motivation.

Managers can use power, money or certain circumstances to achieve short-term results. However, motivation is crucial for achieving long-term results.

Motivating employees to work at their full potential is the main premise of successful management.

In my opinion, the author-level metric can distort a real author's citation impact. For example, an author who has an h-index = 2 obtained on the basis of two published papers of which each is cited twenty times is more influential than an author who has an h-index = 3 obtained on the basis of three published papers of which each is cited three times.

Some old and unrealized ideas will undoubtedly be actualized when their time comes.

I've had several work addiction cycles in my life. Those were situations when important tasks were assigned to me. I took into account that people should remember me based on what I did rather than based on what I failed to do.

It is impossible to avoid failures in life. Don't be afraid of them. Consider rather how to learn from your own failures.

Wherever you work, work hard and educate yourself continuously. You must never forget social welfare, ethics and honesty. However, there is no guarantee for your career progression. Therefore, don't expect that only the best people will be promoted.
