I always was interested in history of my country and if I could live in any time in history, I would live in XV century. At this period khans Janibek and Kerey formed the Kazakh Khanate. It was hard time for our folk because many neighbors tried to capture our land and livestock. I would like to live at this time and participate in the forming of our country. Likely I would be soldier because every man at this time should protect his family. I would be a good rider and nice shot from a bow. At free time I'd been hunting for foxes, wolves, and deer with my friends. It is also good to live far away from crowed cities, air pollution, and duty problems such as money, taxes, routine, traffic jams etc. People lived in yurts without electricity and household appliances. Of course they had a lot of problems too, but I think at that time life was much simple.

All in all, I think I was born in the right time and right place. I like my life and I don’t want to change it.

Can money make you happy or not? People have asked this question since money has existed. Do we want to have job with high pay? Of course we do! But, what would you do, if you have choice between a job that is fulfilling and fun but has low pay and a job that is meaningless and boring but has high pay? I prefer a job that is fulfilling and fun even it has low pay for two reasons.

First of all, money is never enough, and it does not matter how big salary do we have. The more money we have the more we needs, and this is people’s nature. Money cannot make us truly happy. We cannot buy with money things such as friendship, love, respect, and honor. Things, those are very important in our life, that are more important than money.  

Second, it is good mood. We always hear that our house is our fortress and that is true, but I think not just home, the job is too because third of our lives we spend on the work place. For example, I was working in a company and my salary was not big, but I had very good collective. I went to work with good feeling and I left the work with good feeling too. I was happy two times! In addition, if my job fulfilling and I have real results it is satisfaction! On the other hand, to work and to know that your job is meaningless is just terrible even if you have good salary.  

In conclusion, to be rich but unhappy, or poor and happy is not the answer. The answer is to be rich and happy. And we can do it because our live in our hand and we always have a choice.

In China, several days ago, doctors told to 66-year-old man that actually he is a woman. Although he looks like man and all his life he was thinking that he is man, he was born as woman. It is very rare case and it happened because he has two hereditary diseases. Nevertheless, he decided to stay as a man, and I think he made right choice. Actually, nowadays to change sex is not a problem. A lot of people in the world change their sex and moreover, it becoming more common. I don’t know why people do it, and I think it is not right. However, if I were woman I would finally understand female logic! And I think it is the best thing that can happen in this situation. Nonetheless, being women has some positive aspects. For example, usually they don’t care about money because it is husband’s responsible. So, I would go shopping, exercising or to spa salons on free time as usually women do. Also, I would spend a lot of time talking with my friends. On the other hand, I think to be a woman is harder than man. First of all, woman is mother and it is really hard and responsible labor to raise children, to raise them as good people. Also, women devote all their life to family, and they are more dedicated than men.  

In conclusion, we are all people, and we should be grateful for life that God gave us. And it does not matter, women we are, or we are men.

Dinner with great-father

            Do you know your ancestry? Where is your family from? I think everybody wants to know about his family history. Kazakh people have to know seven or more generations from his family tree. Unfortunately, I know just two, it is my father and grandfather. I know about my great-grandfather nothing, and I think my grandfather did not know anything either because he grew up in orphanage. This is why I would like to have a dinner with my great-grandfather if I could have this chance. 

            When I was a child, I heard a story about my grandfather. He was from rich family, but at this time soldiers from Russia killed rich people and took away their property. His family was killed too, and he survived only. I don’t know is it true or not, and I want to ask about this my great-father. I would like to know about his family, how many brothers and sisters he had, how many children, where they lived, and where their descendants now. It would be great to know about my family tree, and who knows, maybe I know them and they know me, but we don’t know that we are relatives! I hope, that one day, I will find something about my ancestry.

            All in all, we should know about our family because it is our history and memory about ancestry.

When people born they cannot choose the color of hair, eyes or skin and they cannot choose to be smart or beauty, or both. All people have limitations, they are not perfect, but in my opinion, if people are ugly it is not limitation. The real beauty is inside us. I prefer to be smart and ugly instead of beautiful and dumb for two reasons.

            The first reason is career. Smart people know what they want and how to reach the goal. An employers, do not need beautiful and dumb workers, they need smart. Smart workers are helpful, they usually has good vacancy and salary and grow fast. Of course, beautiful people can have a good job and career too, but smart people will be smart all life, beautiful people no. The appearance is work just when people are young, but after 20-30 years they will not have the beauty, just a folly.

            The second reason is respect. Smart people usually interesting, they can communicate easily because they know a lot, and it does not matter beautiful are they or not. People respect them because they develop and improve our life. For example, scientist, doctors, politics, they are all smart, but not all of them are beautiful.

In conclusion, even if you are ugly, but smart, you can use your knowledge to get rich and then get plastic surgery. After that you will be smart, rich, and beautiful!
