A popular blogger, the author of several books, including a bestseller for parents “What to do if …” about a huge and abundant world in which we live. Where everything is enough for everything.
“I heard this phrase many years ago from my friend-economist. Then
he explained: in the game with a zero amount, how much one won, so much the other lost. And in life you can come up with so that everyone will win. And most often it happens: one rendered a service, the other received – both win. In addition to some extreme situations (like one oxygen cylinder for two in a submarine), you can always “increase the pie”, and if it seems that it is impossible, then they just thought badly. We need to think more.
Sometimes it seems to me that this is one of those thoughts that was supplanted, knocked out of the consciousness of many of my compatriots with a hard life. It is because many do not see this properties of life, they push so at the entrance to the subway car, viciously communicate in social networks, rejoice at other people’s troubles, think about some mythical struggle with America. This is a model of the world endured during the years of deprivation, in which “there is not enough for everyone”. In which you will only have what you will tear out from life with your teeth.
I would like to say: relax, my dear. The world is huge and abundant, it has a lot of things in it and there are thousands of ways to make it even more abundant. If you think about the interests of others, someone will think about your. If you share ideas and money, new ones will come to you. If you willingly help, then they will help you. It is in my life “.
