Armani: A Timeless Fit
The days when people dressed exclusively from one designer are long gone. Today, the range of brands is vast, but I’ve found that Armani jeans fit me best. It’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the letter ‘A’.
Bridge: The Ultimate Game
Bridge is the greatest game ever invented by humanity. I have a deep passion for it, even though I haven’t mastered it in the 25 years I’ve been playing. Despite my lack of skill, I derive immense pleasure from the game. I look forward to teaching my sons when they grow up.
Children: Joy and Concern
Children bring immense joy and significant worry. I no longer fear for myself, but I experience deep concern for my loved ones. This fear is strong and transformative. Having children changes a person profoundly; you can never be as carefree as you once were.
Nonsense: The World of Social Media
Many of my acquaintances often say ‘nonsense.’ Two years ago, I entered the world of social media by joining Facebook. I was astonished by the amount of foolishness posted by otherwise intelligent people. For some reason, people tend to exhibit their worst qualities online. If you want to read a lot of nonsense, just visit Facebook.
Baldness: A Family Trait
I don’t have a bald spot! All the men in our family have great hair. So, I’m not likely to acquire this distinctive male attribute. It’s a bit disappointing, actually.
Independence: A Cherished Value
Independence is perhaps the most important value in my life, something I have always strived for. Complete independence is unattainable, as we all depend on our families, our country, and many other factors. However, achieving independence in work is possible. I am glad I have managed to do so in recent years; being my own boss is crucial for me.
Tank: A Symbol of Our Times
We live in complex times when the word ‘tank’ becomes highly relevant. I dislike this word, but it’s the first thing that comes to mind for the letter ‘T’. I thought that humanity, having learned from the horrors of the 20th century, had become more civilized. But I was wrong. The veneer of civilization on people is very thin, merely cosmetic.
Surprise: The Spice of Life
Surprise is what makes our lives rich and interesting. It’s important to retain the ability to be surprised at any age. This quality is the foundation of curiosity and inquisitiveness, which are essential for learning. Lately, I find myself surprised very often. I thought I understood life, but time shows that I don’t.
Watches: A Valuable Accessory
Watches are an important part of my life for two reasons. They are almost the only accessory I allow myself, as I believe men shouldn’t wear trinkets. I own several watches from different brands, such as Montblanc. Secondly, watches are more than just a timepiece. With so many tasks, I live strictly by my calendar and schedule. Watches equal precious time.
Myself: A Complex Relationship
I have a complex relationship with myself, marked by both respect and irony. I don’t like myself, neither externally nor internally, but I have developed a sense of self-respect, which I consider necessary. To respect others, you must first learn to respect yourself.
