Wonderwork series


To be surprised, one minute is enough; to do an amazing thing, need many years. K. Helvetius, the French philosopher-enlightener We ceased to be surprised. Is it bad or good? I remember the words: “We are lazy and uninhibited.” And you can add: “We are indifferent.” We lose the ability to be surprised. Many do not notice, many are not interested, do not pay much attention. Each of us is busy with our problems, our own affairs. But there are moments when a person, as if waking up, suddenly starts to notice something he did not pay attention to before. To the school in which you study, you get used to your home. It seems that everything is familiar to you.

But there are such moments when you see your school as if from outside and start to wonder. It turns out that the teacher who gave you bad marks is not that bad. And he knows such interesting things! And the neighbor on the desk has very beautiful eyes. And the most amazing thing: if you smile, the world

around becomes completely different. It turns out that to be surprised, you must first smile. Around us so much is amazing, but we sometimes do not notice it.

The person, his abilities and that created by his hands are amazing. We constantly use mobile phones and we can not even imagine that there was a time when people did without this thing. TV, computer, internet, household appliances surround us everywhere, but for some reason we do not think and wonder how all this could create a man! Indeed, the possibilities of the human mind are not limited. If people could not be surprised, they would not have invented anything, they would not have made unique discoveries. Imagine that we are walking through the forest. Do we all notice, do we all hear?

After all, as N. Rylenkov wrote, “it’s not enough to see, you need to look here, you do not have to hear much, you need to listen to it”. One person will listen to the singing of birds and stop his gaze on a drop of dew; another will be surprised by the variety of colors in the autumn forest, he will see a crimson sunset before a windy day. And maybe,

then this person himself will try to see the colors he sees on the canvas and start painting? Maybe he will become a poet? Or just with good mood will come home and this mood will give to others.

It’s not easy to be surprised in our world, because the world is not easy. And yet you need to be able to see the unusual in the ordinary and keep this skill to the end of days. Then no everyday life is terrible. If you do not know how to be surprised, if you are indifferent, you will be bored to live. Around so much amazing, belonging to nature. The main thing is to notice, not to pass by, not to miss. There are so many amazing and beautiful people around. And as it sometimes is difficult for us, our life is also beautiful and amazing.
