About me
I'm proud to be Russian!
Yes, I served as a sexton, sang in bass, and now I’ll go sing with Mars.
If I were not a commander, I would be a writer.
The cabinet ordered me not to take any more fortresses.
Kamensky knows military affairs, but it does not know it, Suvorov does not know military affairs, but it knows it, and Saltykov neither knows military affairs, nor does it know him.
It's better to have your head off than to lose your honor. Through five hundred deaths I learned not to be afraid of death.
The Prussians accept my tactics, but leave their rotten ones.
A soldier is dearer to me than myself.
One minute decides the outcome of a battle, one hour the success of a campaign, one day the fate of an empire. I act not in hours, but in minutes.
Powder is not gunpowder, letters are not a cannon, a scythe is not a cleaver, and I am not a German, but a real hare.
Titles are not for me, but they are necessary for the public.
My honor is most dear to me. God is her patron.

And people can't understand why this is so...

In the 20s, the German Eugen Herrigel went to Japan and began to study kyudo - japanese art archery.

His teacher was the legendary kyudo master Awa Kenzo, who was convinced that before starting shooting at real targets, beginners should learn the basics, and adhered to this technique to the maximum. For the first four years, Herrigel was only allowed to shoot at a haystack from 7 feet away. When he complained that the learning process was taking too long, Kenzo replied: “You shouldn’t measure the path to your goal. What is the significance of weeks, months, years?”

When he was finally allowed to shoot at a target located at the very back of the training hall, Herrigel's performance was a failure. Arrow after arrow, he became more and more confused as they missed their target. Herrigel was sure the problem was that he had poor aim. To which Kenzo replied that it was not a matter of this, but of the attitude to the process, which determined the outcome. And the puzzled Herrigel simply blurted out: “Then you should hit the target even with your eyes closed.”

After a short pause, Kenzo replied: “Come in the evening.”

Shooting with eyes closed

After sunset they returned to the courtyard where the training hall was located. Kenzo stood in his usual place for shooting, and the target was hidden somewhere in the night. The master took a pose, pulled the bowstring and fired the first arrow into the darkness. Herrigel would then write, “I knew by the sound that she had reached her goal.”

Immediately, Kenzo aimed a second arrow and sent it flying into the night. Eugen jumped up and ran across the yard to check. In his book, Zen in the Art of Archery, Herrigel wrote: “When I turned on the light at the target stand, to my surprise, I found that the first arrow hit the bull's-eye cleanly, while the second split its shank and went through its barrel before digging into the center of the target.”

It's all about aiming

Great archery masters often teach that “it’s all in the aim.” The result is determined by all the little things: how you place your feet, how you hold your bow, how you breathe at the moment you release the arrow.

In the case of Awa Kenzo, the master was so attentive to the process leading to a clear hit that he could repeat all the movements exactly without even seeing the target. This complete control of body and spirit while moving towards a goal is known as zanshin.

The term zanshin is widely used throughout the world to describe the state of relaxed alertness in Japanese martial arts. Literally translated, zanshin means “attention without reserve.” In other words, attention is completely focused on the action and fixed on the upcoming task. Zanshin means constant control of the body, mind, environment without the slightest stress - passive vigilance.

Although in practice zanshin has a deeper meaning. Essentially, this is the choice of living a conscious life and following a specific goal, rather than mindlessly going with the flow.

Enemy of progress

As the famous saying goes Japanese proverb: “After winning the battle, tighten the straps of your helmet.”

The original phrase "katte kabuto no o o shimeyo" literally translates to "tighten your kabuto straps after winning the war" (a kabuto is a helmet worn by the Japanese military).

In other words, the battle does not end after victory. The battle ends only when you become lazy, lose your sense of commitment and the necessary focus. And this is another essence of zanshin: vigilant living even after achieving the goal.

We can use this philosophy in many areas of life.

Literature: The battle doesn't end when you publish a book. It ends when you decide that you are a finished product, when you lose the vigilance needed to improve your skills.
Sports: The battle doesn't end when you beat your personal best. It ends when you lose concentration and skip training or, conversely, do not calculate your strength and overexert yourself.
Business: The battle doesn't end after a big sale. It ends when you become self-confident and cocky.

The enemy of progress is neither failure nor success. The enemy of success is boredom, fatigue and lack of concentration. The enemy of success is a lack of commitment to the process, because the process is what matters.

The art of zanshin in everyday life

“All matters and situations must be approached with the same sincerity, intensity and awareness with which you hold a bow and arrow.” - Kenneth Kushner, “One Arrow, One Life” (“One Arrow, One Life”).

We are obsessed with the result: like Herrigel, it is too important for us whether the arrow hits the target or not. However, if we were to put that tension, focus and sincerity into the process itself - where we place our feet, how we hold the arrow, how we breathe when we release the stele - then hitting the bull's eye would become secondary.

It is important not to worry whether you will hit the target or not. It is important to fall in love with the boredom of doing work and enjoy every moment of the process. It is important to capture this moment of zanshin, the moment of complete awareness and focus, and use it everywhere in life.

It's not the goal or the finish line that matters. What matters is how we achieve it. It's all about aiming. It's all about zanshin.

When it comes to finding a life partner, it's all about your compatibility. Sure, you can meet the sweetest and smartest man, but if your core traits, habits and values don't mesh, the relationship won't last. The stars will tell you who will be the best couple for you:

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpios are the most loyal people you can find. They stand up for their territory and loved ones, it is this quality that makes them best friends and spouses. Scorpio will do anything for the people he loves.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancers are known as the "relationship people" among all the zodiac signs. They are warm, funny, loving and desire a home and commitment. Cancers - best husbands and wives, they want to settle down and feel secure with the family they love.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libras are the most romantic of all the zodiac signs, but their flirtatiousness, indecisiveness, and desire for perfection can lead people to assume they won't make a long-term partner. But this opinion is true while Libra is in search of an ideal partner for themselves. Once they find him, they will be loyal to him forever.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

In addition to being everyone's favorite person, Pisces also make wonderful partners. Their gentleness and non-conflict nature prevents many scandals, and their idealistic views make them super romantic. Pisces thrive in relationships. They need security and stability. Pisces is the life partner you can always rely on and trust that he will be there no matter what.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Geminis are amazing in relationships. When they give their heart to someone, they are devoted to him forever, their love knows no boundaries, logic or reason. Of course, Geminis are known for holding on to toxic relationships, but overall they are trustworthy, interested, fun and interesting. They love their partners as much as they love themselves (and, yes, that's saying a lot).

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus are known for being quick to get carried away, but they also lose interest easily. However, when they finally find their person, they can be reliable and kind partners. However, they are anxious perfectionists and sometimes their partner may not like it, but they will try their best in the relationship.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns make great life partners because they are organized, traditional, and committed to stable, monogamous relationships. In relationships, Capricorns tend to support their partner. They will lend a strong shoulder and encourage you when you need it. However, they easily let relationships overshadow everything else that is important to them, so they need to keep an eye on it.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgos can make wonderful partners, but the process of perfecting them is long and tedious. They are so prone to overanalyzing and obsessing over every little detail that they end up sabotaging any romantic connection. However, once they get into a relationship, they will find a way to survive the ups and downs that life sends their way. They are romantic by nature and will be happy to dedicate their life to the right person if they ever find one.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Leos make wonderful partners because they are fiercely protective of those they love. People often misperceive their aggressive self-centeredness, but in reality they treat everyone they love with the same protection and adoration that they treat themselves. Leo will do anything to protect their partners, children, friends or family, and they will protect your relationship as it is their own reputation.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries are worthy companions; however, they are too logical and have an innate desire to explore and always be right. Undoubtedly they devoted friends and partners, but may sometimes hesitate. They will need to put in more effort to be able to stay in a long-term relationship.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarians are not relationship people, but they can become one when a the right person. It's incredible how quickly they change their behavior for the "right person" once they find him. Aquarians are so strange and have so many weird ideas within them that they can have a hard time forming relationships with people. Happiness in the life of an Aquarius comes not from relationships, but from the creation of some serious, fundamental change in the world. Thus, their priorities will naturally lean towards the latter.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarians are explorers, wanderers, thinkers and adventurers. They thrive when they explore. new information, meet new people and live “on the edge.” If a Sagittarius finds someone they want to spend their life with, they will quickly get along with that person. IN otherwise Sagittarius is very difficult to tame. He doesn't want to be in a long-term relationship. This doesn't mean that you CAN'T have a healthy, long-term relationship with a Sagittarius, it does mean that they are less romantic and committed than other people.
