It will not be short until our country will turn from a developing country into a developed one. And here I am speaking about the actual situation within the state. These are not merely words, we’ve got used to hear on TV from various politicians.

Nowadays companies embark on operating business effectiveness. It’s just many of them realized that otherwise they might be eaten by the crisis and the strongest will survive, the ones having realized the game rules.

I can’t say what prominent person I’d like to meet. There’s something special about all great people, so I would like to have the opportunity to get acquainted with various famous people. I guess these would come from different epochs as they all had absolutely different lives, goals, minds and values. Provided I am far from the spheres many of them are or were involved into, I am still interested in their personalities.

It’s highly important to me that my professional projects will always be interesting to me, that is the only way to gain success.

My work is not always about art, it comprises lots of numbers and graphs, though corporate appraisal is a far more creative process than it may firstly occur.

My heart longed for something creative. So I embarked on clothes design, still being an amateur.

We were once skiing in the mountains in France and they closed all the lifts in the valley because of fog. So we had to walk up the hill for some two hours just to get to the place. And it was from there we could drive to our valley. That was the day when I doubted the fairness of the saying: “There’s no nasty weather”. But it was still quite a fun. Not every skier happens to become practically a mountaineer.

From time to time people associate me with various Disney characters, actresses, singers, whatever, but I do not like these parallels that much. You’d better not compare me to others, as I am what I am and there are no such others!

I am a highly open-hearted and kind person. I realize that it’s all up to the epoch, but these traits help me a great deal even nowadays. They always help me to stay cheerful. Nevertheless you always have to stay wide awake, as unwarranted openness can spoil it all. There are its pros and cons in everything, but this trait is a vivid advantage for me and I am not going to change.

I leave for my dacha to have enough sleep and to do nothing. I go there to take part in a family party.

Purposefulness, kindness and positive attitude are the traits I inherited from my parents, which makes me extremely grateful to them. By the way people tend to be positively jealous about the thing.

A man who is not able to forgive woman’s tiny disadvantages is never going to learn about her great advantages.

Our society is a consumers’ society. I mean everybody is having purely material motivations nowadays, which practically prevents people from seeing spiritual values. Greed also plays a great role here, everybody caring about his own needs to be met. People tend to evaluate others according to their welfare, omitting any of the personal characteristics. I try not to let such people enter my social circle.

Envy can differ. There’s envy which can kill everything alive in a person, which gnaws him and eats his personality with time. This envy should be obviously avoided. But there’s another kind of envy which makes people strive for something, gain set goals and set new ones. All in all it helps to develop and to move ahead.
