I’ve always thought that I like to risk but it turned that I do not.

Making presents makes me really high!

People with big money are in constant fear of losing their fortune so thay have it really tough (laughing).

These are people themselves who design their reality. They say so at our London classes. Yep, I am still studying…

I am an introvert. I am used to stay in when I feel blue. I accumulate positive energy there and then spend it on the people around.

I am building a dacha but it seems to me that I will not be able to move in there. I just can’t imagine how I am going to live in a place with so much space between the houses and no people seen in windows.

When at school I was told about the fact that people had figured out the formulae of the happiness dependence on money long time ago. It is as simple as that: “The happiness dependence on money is in direct proportion to the square root of its quantity”. In other words your first million rejoices you much more than the second one, correspondingly you are going to rejoice the third too but much less than the second to say nothing of the first.

I’d fallen in love and revealed my heart some time ago, and I am not going to repeat the thing. The hell with it! It’s like an infection when somebody offends me and I burst into taking vengeance on other people. A sort of love virus…

It always lies heavy on my consciousness when I kiss off with somebody.

People learn to forgive after they are 40. I can surely say that it does make a problem for me now, but I can do nothing about it. Even if a grievance seems to have weakened, I still have a kind of aftertaste. And I just can’t understand how I am going to do with it (laughing).

A friend is somebody with whom you can chill out. That’s all! You’d better not overload friends. Once you start using them as a shoulder they bother.

I hate when people make spelling mistakes in messages. For example when they write “squirel” instead of “squirrel”. That is the problem (smiling).

I think that the moment of truth will come one day. Somebody, I am not sure who exactly, will descend and say: “Guys, why don’t we sort out who of you led a decent life and who didn’t. You all had the chance to play fair”. In our times it’s difficult to play fair but still possible.

I was always beaten when at school. That was painful. That made me hate studies. I can remember how I stole my father’s collar button with a big gem when I was something in the 5th form. I thought that was a diamond and wanted to give it to the guys in order to stop them beating me… And then I was transferred to a physico-mathematical school where everything changed. They went by other criteria there: they set price for your mental strength and not physical one. That was the place I stood out.

We need to realize that there’s nothing else beyond our life and live with this idea. That makes your own deeds and the deeds of the people around you more important, as your life is everything you have. A man could achieve much just because he knew he is not immortal.

I am strongly and aggressively against the church. It’s opium of the people. Occasionalities rule the world. That is a real alternative to God.
