Manager, who read Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, better than a manager, not read them – that's what I am saying. It is more flexible, more hardy, adaptable, he is smarter competitor. What to do in a crisis? Read the classics! New Year's Eve and all January I spent mostly in Moscow, having nothing to do people watching. Listened to the conversation. That is, could not help but listen: here they are sitting next to and say – in cafes, transport, and on the street.
On traffic jams, the "Friendster" on learning about money, apartments, about the crisis – even though, by the way, about it the least: apparently, bored. Listening to all this, I constantly caught myself thinking that aliens live among – and berated himself for that snob attitude: Well, what do you want from the people than they do not have pleased you? I'd be an idiot if annoyed at people for "low" topics of conversation: people have a right to talk about anything, and that democracy gives them this right, and I sincerely respect that right people – to talk about anything. And fought for. Madden, therefore, not subject of everyday conversation – but what? I keep asking myself and tried to answer as honestly. Finally, I realized that annoying rhythm, tone, manner of speech – that is, form, and no content: it is not in the form of speech, and a unified exchange points, dashes, and that non-human origin of these modulations is alarming. This is an automatic exchange of sounds and letters, it is the cup and the cup holders – which rattle when driving.
