Bad habits say more about a person than his Facebook account: smokes - prone to self-destruction and neuroses, drinks - lacks self-control and is weak-willed, eats a lot - goes along with it, easily influenced and selfish. Yes, in many ways demons identify us as individuals, work for uniqueness, but, in the end, “no one has ever died from a glass” is a blatant lie! None of us is without shortcomings, but especially for you we have compiled short plan actions to become better.
Set yourself up for results
You have a long and painful road ahead. Parting with something expensive, convenient and pleasant is the hardest thing, but no pain, no gain - you can become better, and nothing is given for nothing. You will be crippled and broken in the first days, even weeks, but it will pass - after that you won’t even remember it. And self-respect and pride in oneself will replace it. And this will never be taken away. The game is always worth the candle if it changes your life for the better.
Don't doubt yourself
Inside each of us sits a nasty little “couch” analyst who criticizes everything in the world. Kill him, it's legal. Ideally - in the most ruthless way. It is he who whispers that this fuss is unnecessary and you feel good as is. It is he who brings to mind reports and conversations with friends about how painful it is to give up bad things. And thanks to him you still don't do anything: he blocks your perception of yourself. Believe me, he is far from Belinsky: he has 0 values.
Stop communicating with provocateurs
You probably have a friend who doesn't see anything wrong with a bottle of beer after work, a big box of nuggets, or criticizes your friend's behavior. He always knows what's best, he needs a companion for self-destruction, and you don't need him at all. Such people provoke conflicts, and deep down they want with all their might for you to be worse than them. And if they need to be better than you and they are interested in your downfall, then do you need it?
Make a clear life schedule
The habit is developed in 20–25 days. This means that all the efforts you made and the restrictions you suffered from will end in less than a month! Your body is an amazing thing and it will adapt to anything. But no one forbade tricks. Pack your schedule to the maximum: workouts, walks, reading on fresh air, theater, bowling - anything to avoid sitting at home and marinating in your own head.
Set taboo topics
If your friends really care about you, they will gladly meet you halfway: from now on, all your bad habits will be taboo topic. Don’t talk about them with anyone, don’t write on thematic forums, and don’t complain to mom and dad over the phone. So you only provoke yourself and drive from empty to empty. No means no. You yourself decided so, which means so be it. Don’t discuss it with your friend either - you’re not trying to get pity and praise, are you?
Your bad habits are influenced not only by conversations, but also by these.
Ask for help
You will find yourself in a difficult situation, but the goal is 100% noble. You will be modified, upgraded - this is only a plus sign, and in such a matter there is no shame in asking for help. Yes, parting is painful, but it is necessary: you yourself will definitely not throw away that hidden jar of chocolate paste or box of pasta, your “last” cigarette will be a new one, and the “well-deserved” beer will be a ritual. And friends and family will rid your den of all provocative content. Just don't attack them because of the pesto sauce - that's not humane.
Praise yourself
You will work hard, sacrifice and suffer - this is worthy of praise. Develop a reward system for yourself: for every three days you live without a harmful day, buy yourself some nice little thing. Our brains are very receptive to rewards, and very soon you will start working for this reward. The system works, you feel better, and the end of stress is getting closer and closer.
Develop an “if...then” protocol
In life, you can give up the destructive, quit the harmful, don’t think, don’t talk, and clear the house of reminders. But on the street you will encounter your harmful past with 100% probability. Be prepared: develop a behavior model that will work for such a confluence of events. For example, you could suggest that you eat three cucumbers instead of a muffin, drink a glass of pomegranate juice instead of a glass of wine, or go to a bookstore instead of a pub. “If... then” will help you always know what to do in any unclear situation.
Start a piggy bank
Punish yourself, and more painfully - with a ruble. Get yourself a large transparent jar with a slot for bills and throw 500 wooden ones into it for each breakdown. You can organize the carrot and stick method in your own head, and by the end of the changes you will also have saved up a good amount. Although we hope not.
When all the torment is behind you, you will fall in love with the new “me” - refreshed, fit and confident. You will defeat the most powerful boss in the world - yourself, and Bulat Shalvovich taught us that there is no need to stand behind the price.
Every person wants to be a winner, wants everything in his life to be successful, happy, so that he can proudly tell others about his successes. But in reality, not everyone and it doesn’t always work out this way. Events often burst into our lives that can turn a person’s whole life upside down: illnesses, accidents, natural disasters, wars. In such situations, it is important to remain human, not to break in the face of danger, to gain victory over yourself, your weaknesses and ailments, and to overcome all obstacles.
When I think about people who have triumphed in difficult life circumstances, I remember “The Tale of a Real Man” by Boris Polevoy. This is the case when life turned out to be more amazing than any fiction, because the author wrote his work about a real person - a Hero Soviet Union pilot Alexei Maresyev. Almost all the facts stated in the work are true.
Polevoy named his hero Alexei Meresyev. During the war, while making a combat mission, Alexey was wounded in the legs. His plane was shot down. For several days he crawled through the snow, trying to get to his own people, and ended up with the partisans. He was taken by plane to the rear and had surgery. The pilot, who madly loved his job, found himself without legs, which were amputated at the knees. The first time after the operation, he was close to suicide: he would not be able to fly, he would not be able to defeat the Germans. Besides, how hard it is for any person, especially a young, healthy man, to feel like a cripple, a helpless invalid. Friends came to the rescue and restored his faith that he could overcome his disability and be able to fly. A man of strong will, Alexey began to learn to walk with prosthetics. At night he cried in pain, but no one saw his tears. In the sanatorium where he was sent after the hospital, he learns to dance on prosthetics. What pain and blood these dances gave him! But the desire to return to duty was stronger for him than any pain. Before the medical commission, Alexey danced in a squat, and the doctors were amazed by the strength of his spirit. He returned to duty, achieved his goal, conquered himself.
When you read about such people, you begin to be proud that you are human, that there are people who can overcome everything on the way to their goal.
Vladislav Titov’s story “For Spite of All Deaths,” based on real events, shows the fate of Sergei Petrov. While rescuing his fellow miners during an accident, he suffers hand injuries. They have to be amputated. Sergei had to call upon all his will, determination, and courage to start new life. He also gains victory over himself, and, it seems to me, this is the true victory.
Reading about people who overcame their pain, weakness, fear, uncertainty, you understand how strong they can be human spirit, will, determination. We are proud of such people, we take them as examples, because they, like light, help us see our path.
Victory and defeat
The direction allows you to think about victory and defeat in different aspects: socio-historical, moral-philosophical, psychological.
The reasoning can be related as with external conflict events in the life of a person, country, world, and with a person's internal struggle with himself, its causes and results.
IN literary works The concepts of “victory” and “defeat” are often shown in different historical conditions and life situations.

Possible abstracts on the topic:"Victory and Defeat"
1. Victory. Every person has the desire to experience this intoxicating feeling. Even as a child, we felt like a winner when we received our first A's. As they grew older, they felt joy and satisfaction from achieving their goals, defeating their weaknesses - laziness, pessimism, maybe even indifference. Victory gives strength, makes a person more persistent and active. Everything around seems so beautiful.
2. Everyone can win. You need willpower, a desire to succeed, a desire to become a bright, interesting person.
3. Of course, both a careerist who has received another promotion and an egoist who has achieved some benefits by bringing pain to others experiences a kind of victory. And what a “victory” a money-hungry person experiences when he hears the clink of coins and the rustle of banknotes! Well, everyone decides for themselves what they strive for, what goals they set, and therefore “victories” can be completely different.
4. A person lives among people, so the opinions of others are never indifferent to him, no matter how much some might want to hide it. A victory appreciated by people is many times more pleasant. Everyone wants others to share their joy.
5. Victory over oneself - this becomes a way of survival for some. People with disabilities make efforts on themselves every day and strive to achieve results at the cost of incredible efforts. They are an example for others. The performances of athletes at the Paralympic Games are striking in how great the will to win these people are, how strong in spirit they are, how optimistic they are, no matter what.
6. The price of victory, what is it? Is it true that “winners are not judged”? You can think about this too. If the victory was achieved dishonestly, then it is worthless. Victory and lies, toughness, heartlessness are concepts that exclude each other. Only fair play, playing according to the rules of morality and decency, only this brings true victory.
7. Winning is not easy. Much needs to be done to achieve it. What if you suddenly lose? What then? It is important to understand that in life there are many difficulties and obstacles along the way. To be able to overcome them, to strive for victory even after defeat - this is what distinguishes a strong personality. It’s scary not to fall, but not to get up later in order to move on with dignity. Fall and get up, make mistakes and learn from your mistakes, retreat and move on - this is the only way you should strive to live on this earth. The main thing is to move forward towards your goal, and then victory will definitely be your reward.
8. The victory of the people during the war is a sign of the cohesion of the nation, the unity of people who have a common destiny, traditions, history, and a single homeland.
9. How many great trials our people had to endure, what enemies we had to fight. Millions of people died during the Great Patriotic War, giving their lives for the Victory. They were waiting for her, dreaming about her, bringing her closer.
10. What gave you the strength to survive? Of course, love. Love for the homeland, loved ones and loved ones.
11. The first months of the war are a series of continuous defeats. How hard it was to realize that the enemy was advancing along native land further and further, approaching Moscow. Defeats did not make people helpless and confused. On the contrary, they united the people and helped them understand how important it is to gather all their strength to repel the enemy.
12. And how everyone rejoiced together at the first victories, the first fireworks, the first reports of the defeat of the enemy! The victory became the same for everyone, everyone contributed their share to it.
13. Man is born to win! Even the very fact of his birth is already a victory. You must strive to be a winner the right person for your country, people, loved ones and loved ones.

S. Alexievich "War has no woman's face"(the price of victory in the Great Patriotic War - crippled lives, the fate of women)
I offer 10 arguments on the topic: “Victory and defeat”
1. A.S. Griboyedov “Woe from Wit”
2. A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin”
3. M.Yu. Lermontov “Hero of Our Time”
4. N.V. Gogol “Dead Souls”
5. I.A. Goncharov “Oblomov”
6. L.N. Tolstoy " Sevastopol stories»
7. A.N. Tolstoy “Peter the First”
8. E. Zamyatin “We”
9. A.A. Fadeev “Young Guard”
10. B.L. Vasiliev “And the dawns here are quiet”
| A.S. Griboyedov “Woe from Wit” |
| Famous work A.S. Griboedov’s “Woe from Wit” is still relevant in our time. It has a lot of problems, bright, memorable characters. Main character plays - Alexander Andreevich Chatsky. The author shows his irreconcilable clash with Famusovsky society. Chatsky does not accept the morality of this high society, their ideals, principles. He expresses this openly. I am not a reader of nonsense, but more than exemplary... Where? show us, fathers of the fatherland, whom we should take as models? Aren't these the ones who are rich in robbery? The regiments are busy recruiting teachers, in more numbers, at a cheaper price... The houses are new, but the prejudices are old... The ending of the work, at first glance, is tragic for the hero: he leaves this society, misunderstood in it, rejected by his beloved girl, literally flees from Moscow: “Give me a carriage, a carriage! So who is Chatsky: the winner or the loser? What is on his side: victory or defeat? Let's try to understand this. The hero brought such a commotion into this society, in which everything is so scheduled by day, by hour, where everyone lives according to the order established by their ancestors, a society in which opinion is so important “ Princess Marya Alekseevna" Isn't this a victory? To prove that you are a person who has your own point of view on everything, that you do not agree with these laws, to openly express your views about education, about service, about the order in Moscow - this is a real victory. Moral. It is no coincidence that they were so frightened of the hero, calling him crazy. And who else in their circle could object so much if not a madman? Yes, it’s hard for Chatsky to realize that he was not understood here. After all, Famusov’s house is dear to him, his youth passed here, here he first fell in love, he rushed here after a long separation. But he will never adapt. He has another road-road honor, service to the Fatherland. He does not accept false feelings and emotions. And in this he is a winner. |
| A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" |
| Evgeny Onegin, the hero of the novel by A.S. Pushkin, is a contradictory personality who has not found himself in this society. It is no coincidence that in literature such heroes are called “superfluous people.” One of the central scenes of the work is Onegin’s duel with Vladimir Lensky, a young romantic poet passionately in love with Olga Larina. Challenging an opponent to a duel and defending one’s honor was common practice in noble society. It seems that both Lensky and Onegin are trying to defend their truth. However, the result of the duel is terrible - the death of young Lensky. He was only 18 years old and had his life ahead of him. Will I fall, pierced by an arrow, Or will it fly by, All good: vigil and sleep The definite hour comes; Blessed is the day of worries, Blessed is the coming of darkness! Is the death of a man whom you called a friend a victory for Onegin? No, this is a manifestation of Onegin’s weakness, selfishness, unwillingness to overcome the insult. It is no coincidence that this fight changed the hero’s life. He began to travel around the world. His soul could not find peace. So victory can become defeat at the same time. What matters is what the price of victory is, and whether it is needed at all, if the result is the death of another. |
| M.Yu. Lermontov “Hero of Our Time” |
| Pechorin, the hero of the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov, evokes conflicting feelings among readers. So, in his behavior with women, almost everyone agrees - the hero here shows his selfishness, and sometimes simply callousness. Pechorin seems to be playing with the fates of the women who love him. (“I feel in myself this insatiable greed, absorbing everything that comes my way; I look at the suffering and joy of others only in relation to myself, as food that supports my spiritual strength. ") Let's remember Bela. She was deprived by the hero of everything - her home, her loved ones. She has nothing left except the hero’s love. Bela fell in love with Pechorin, sincerely, with all her soul. However, having achieved her by all possible means - both deception and dishonest acts - he soon began to grow cold towards her. (“I was wrong again: the love of a savage is a little better than love noble lady; the ignorance and simple-heartedness of one are just as annoying as the coquetry of the other.”) Pechorin is largely to blame for the fact that Bela died. He did not give her the love, the happiness, attention and care that she deserves. Yes, he won, Bela became his. But is this a victory? No, this is a defeat, since the beloved woman did not become happy. Pechorin himself is capable of condemning himself for his actions. But he cannot and does not want to change anything about himself: “Am I a fool or a villain, I don’t know; but it is true that I am also very worthy of pity, perhaps more than she: my soul is spoiled by light, my imagination is restless, my heart is insatiable; I can’t get enough...", "I sometimes despise myself..." |
| N.V. Gogol “Dead Souls” |
| The work “Dead Souls” is still interesting and relevant. It is no coincidence that performances are staged based on it, and multi-part series are created. feature films. The poem (this is the genre indicated by the author himself) intertwines philosophical, social, moral problems and topics. The theme of victory and defeat also found its place in it. The main character of the poem is Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov. He strictly followed the instructions of his father: “Take care and save a penny... You can destroy everything in the world with a penny.” From childhood, he began to save it, this penny, and carried out more than one dark operation. In the city of NN, he decided on a grandiose and almost fantastic enterprise - to redeem dead peasants according to the “Revision Tales”, and then sell them as if they were alive. To do this, it is necessary to be invisible and at the same time interesting to everyone with whom he communicated. And Chichikov succeeded in this: “... knew how to flatter everyone,” “entered sideways,” “sat obliquely,” “answered by bowing his head,” “put a carnation in his nose,” “brought a snuff-box with violets at the bottom.” At the same time, he himself tried not to stand out too much (“not handsome, but not bad-looking, neither too fat, nor too thin, one cannot say that he is old, but not so much that he is too young”) Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov at the end of the work - a real winner. He managed to fraudulently make himself a fortune and left with impunity. It seems that the hero clearly follows his goal, follows the intended path. But what awaits this hero in the future if he chose hoarding as his main goal in life? Isn’t Plyushkin’s fate destined for him too, whose soul was completely at the mercy of money? Anything is possible. But the fact is that with every purchased “ dead soul“He himself is falling morally - this is certain. And this is defeat, because human feelings in him were suppressed by acquisitions, hypocrisy, lies, and selfishness. And although N.V. Gogol emphasizes that people like Chichikov are “a terrible and vile force,” the future does not belong to them, yet they are not the masters of life. How relevant are the words of the writer addressed to young people: “Take it with you on the journey, leaving the soft teenage years into stern, embittering courage, take with you all human movements, do not leave them on the road, you will not pick them up later! |
| I.A.Goncharov "Oblomov" |
| Victory over yourself, over your weaknesses and shortcomings. It is worth a lot if a person reaches the end, the goal that he has set. Ilya Oblomov, the hero of I. A. Goncharov’s novel, is not like that. Sloth celebrates victory over his master. She sits so firmly in him that it seems that nothing can make the hero get up from his sofa, simply write a letter to his estate, find out how things are going there. And yet the hero tried to make an attempt to overcome himself, his reluctance to do something in this life. Thanks to Olga and his love for her, he began to transform: he finally got up from the couch, began to read, walked a lot, dreamed, talked with the heroine. However, he soon abandoned this idea. Outwardly, the hero himself justifies his behavior by saying that he cannot give her what she deserves. But, most likely, these are just more excuses. Laziness dragged him again, returned him to his favorite sofa. (“...There is no peace in love, and it keeps moving somewhere forward, forward...”) It is no coincidence that “Oblomov” became a common word, denoting a lazy person who does not want to do anything, nor not striving for anything. (Stolz’s words: “It began with the inability to put on stockings and ended with the inability to live.”) Oblomov discussed the meaning of life, understood that it was impossible to live like that, but did nothing to change everything: “When you don’t know, for no matter what you live, you live somehow, day after day; you rejoice that the day has passed, that the night has passed, and in your sleep you plunge into the boring question of why you lived this day, why you will live tomorrow.” Oblomov failed to defeat himself. However, the defeat did not upset him so much. At the end of the novel, we see the hero in a quiet family circle, he is loved and cared for, as he once was in childhood. This is the ideal of his life, this is what he achieved. Also, however, having won a “victory”, because his life has become the way he wants it to be. But why is there always some kind of sadness in his eyes? Maybe because of unfulfilled hopes? |
| L.N. Tolstoy "Sevastopol Stories" |
| “Sevastopol Stories” - work young writer, which brought fame to L.N. Tolstoy. Officer, participant himself Crimean War, the author realistically described the horrors of war, the grief of people, the pain and suffering of the wounded. (“The hero, whom I love with all the strength of my soul, whom I tried to reproduce in all his beauty and who has always been, is and will be beautiful, is true.”) The center of the story is the defense, and then the surrender of Sevastopol to the Turks. The entire city, along with the soldiers, defended itself; everyone, young and old, contributed to the defense. However, the forces were too unequal. The city had to be surrendered. Outwardly it is a defeat. However, if you look closely at the faces of the defenders, the soldiers, at how much hatred they have for the enemy, the unbending will to win, then we can conclude that the city has been surrendered, but the people have not accepted their defeat, they will still regain their pride, victory is certain will be ahead. (“Almost every soldier, looking from the northern side at abandoned Sevastopol, sighed with inexpressible bitterness in his heart and threatened the enemies.”) Defeat is not always the end of something. This could be the beginning of a new, future victory. It will prepare this victory, because people, having gained experience and taken into account mistakes, will do everything to win. |
| A.N. Tolstoy “Peter the First” |
| Historical novel A.N. Tolstoy’s “Peter the Great,” dedicated to the distant era of Peter the Great, fascinates readers today. I read with interest the pages in which the author shows how the young king matured, how he overcame obstacles, learned from his mistakes and achieved victories. More space is occupied by the description of the Azov campaigns of Peter the Great in 1695-1696. The failure of the first campaign did not break young Peter. (... Confusion is a good lesson... We are not looking for glory... And they will defeat us ten more times, then we will overcome). He began to build a fleet, strengthen the army, and the result was greatest victory over the Turks - the capture of the Azov fortress. This was the first victory of the young king, an active, life-loving man, striving to do a lot (“Neither an animal nor a single person, probably, wanted to live with such greed as Peter ...”) This is an example of a ruler who achieves his goal, strengthens his power and international authority of the country. Defeat becomes an impetus for him further development. The result is victory! |
| E. Zamyatin “We” |
| The novel “We”, written by E. Zamyatin, is a dystopia. By this, the author wanted to emphasize that the events depicted in it are not so fantastic, that under the emerging totalitarian regime something similar could happen, and most importantly, a person will completely lose his “I”, he will not even have a name - only a number. These are the main characters of the work: he - D 503 and she - I-330 The hero has become a cog in the huge mechanism of the United State, in which everything is clearly regulated. He is completely subordinate to the laws of the state, where everyone is happy. Another heroine of I-330, it was she who showed the hero the “unreasonable” world of living nature, a world that is fenced off from the inhabitants of the state by the Green Wall. There is a struggle between what is allowed and what is forbidden. What should I do? The hero experiences feelings previously unknown to him. He goes after his beloved. However, in the end, the system defeated him, the hero, part of this system, says: “I am sure that we will win. Because reason must win.” The hero is calm again, he, having undergone the operation, having regained calm, looks calmly as his woman dies under the gas bell. And the heroine of I-330, although she died, remained undefeated. She did everything she could for a life in which everyone decides for themselves what to do, who to love, how to live. Victory and defeat. They are often so close on a person's path. And what choice a person makes - to victory or defeat - depends on him too, regardless of the society in which he lives. Become united people, but preserving one’s “I” is one of the motives of E. Zamyatin’s work. |
| A.A. Fadeev “Young Guard” |
| Oleg Koshevoy, Ulyana Gromova, Lyubov Shevtsova, Sergei Tyulenin and many others are young people, almost teenagers who have just graduated from school. During the Great Patriotic War, in Krasnodon, which was occupied by the Germans, they created their own underground organization “Young Guard”. Dedicated to the description of their feat famous novel A. Fadeeva. The characters are shown by the author with love and tenderness. The reader sees how they dream, love, are friends, enjoy life, no matter what (Despite everything that was happening around and in the whole world, the boy and girl declared their love... they declared their love, as they do only in their youth, that is, they talked about absolutely everything except love.) Risking their lives, they put up leaflets and burn the German commandant’s office, where lists of people who were supposed to be sent to Germany are kept. Youthful enthusiasm and courage are characteristic of them. (No matter how hard and terrible the war is, no matter how cruel the losses and suffering it brings to people, youth with its health and joy of life, with its naive kind egoism, love and dreams of the future does not want and does not know how to see beyond the general danger and suffering danger and suffering for herself until they come and disrupt her happy walk.) However, the organization was betrayed by a traitor. All its members died. But even in the face of death, none of them became a traitor, did not betray their comrades. Death is always a defeat, but fortitude is a victory. The heroes are alive in the hearts of people, a monument was erected to them in their homeland, a museum was created. The novel is dedicated to the feat of the Young Guard. |
| B.L. Vasiliev “And the dawns here are quiet” |
| Great Patriotic War- a glorious and at the same time tragic page in the history of Russia. How many millions of lives she took! How many people became heroes defending their homeland! War does not have a woman’s face - this is the leitmotif of B. Vasilyev’s story “And Here They Are Quiet.” A woman, whose natural destiny is to give life, to be the keeper of the family hearth, to personify tenderness and love, puts on soldier’s boots, a uniform, takes up a weapon and goes to kill. What could be worse? Five girls - Zhenya Komelkova, Rita Osyanina, Galina Chetvertak, Sonya Gurvich, Lisa Brichkina - died in the war with the Nazis. Everyone had their own dreams, each wanted love, and just life. (“...she lived all nineteen years in the feeling tomorrow.”) But the war took all this away from them. (“It was so stupid, so absurd and implausible to die at nineteen.”) Heroines die in different ways. So, Zhenya Komelkova accomplishes a true feat, leading the Germans away from her comrades, and Galya Chetvertak, simply frightened of the Germans, screams in horror and runs away from them. But we understand each of them. War is a terrible thing, and the fact that they went to the front voluntarily, knowing that death could await them, is already a feat of these young, fragile, gentle girls. Yes, the girls died, the lives of five people were cut short - this, of course, is a defeat. It is no coincidence that Vaskov, this battle-hardened man, is crying; it is no coincidence that his terrible face, filled with hatred, causes horror among the fascists. He, alone, captured several people! But this is still a victory - a victory of the moral spirit Soviet people, their unshakable faith, their perseverance and heroism. And Rita Osyanina’s son, who became an officer, is a continuation of life. And if life continues, this is already a victory - a victory over death! |

There is nothing more courageous than victory over yourself.
What is victory? Why is the most important thing in life to win over yourself? It is these questions that the statement of Erasmus of Rotterdam makes us think about: “There is nothing more courageous than victory over ourselves.”
I believe that victory is always a success in the fight for something. Conquering yourself means overcoming yourself, your fears and doubts, overcoming laziness and uncertainty that interfere with achieving any goal. Internal struggle It’s always more difficult, because a person must admit to himself his mistakes, and also that the cause of failures is only himself. And this is not easy for a person, since it is easier to blame someone else than yourself. People often lose in this war because they lack willpower and courage. That is why victory over oneself is considered the most courageous.
Many writers have discussed the importance of victory in the fight over one’s vices and fears. For example, in his novel “Oblomov,” Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov shows us a hero who is unable to overcome his laziness, which became the cause of his meaningless life. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov leads a sleepy and motionless lifestyle. While reading a novel, this hero we see traits that are characteristic of ourselves, namely laziness. And so, when Ilya Ilyich meets Olga Ilyinskaya, at some point it seems to us that he will finally get rid of this vice. We celebrate the changes that have happened to him. Oblomov gets up from his couch, goes on dates, visits theaters, and begins to become interested in the problems of the neglected estate, but, unfortunately, the changes turned out to be short-lived. In the fight with himself, with his laziness, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov loses. I believe that laziness is a vice of most people. After reading the novel, I concluded that if we weren’t lazy, many of us would reach high heights. Each of us needs to fight laziness; defeating it will be a big step towards future success.
Another example confirming the words of Erasmus of Rotterdam about the importance of victory over oneself can be seen in the work of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky “Crime and Punishment”. The main character Rodion Raskolnikov at the beginning of the novel is obsessed with an idea. According to his theory, all people are divided into two categories: “those with the right” and “trembling creatures.” The first are people who are capable of transgressing moral laws, strong personalities, and the second are weak and weak-willed people. To test the correctness of his theory, as well as to confirm that he is a “superman,” Raskolnikov commits a brutal murder, after which his whole life turns into hell. It turned out that he is not Napoleon at all. The hero is disappointed in himself, because he was able to kill, but “he didn’t cross.” The realization of the fallacy of his inhuman theory comes after a long time, and then he finally understands that he does not want to be a “superman”. Thus, Raskolnikov’s defeat in front of his theory turned out to be his victory over himself. The hero, in the fight against the evil that has gripped his mind, wins. Raskolnikov retained the man within himself and took the difficult path of repentance, which would lead him to purification.
Thus, any success in the fight against oneself, with one’s wrong judgments, vices and fears is the most necessary and important victory. It makes us better, makes us move forward and improve ourselves.
№2. Victory is always desired
Victory is always desirable. We are waiting for victory with early childhood while playing different games. We need to win at all costs. And the one who wins feels like the king of the situation. And someone is a loser because he doesn’t run so fast or the chips just fell out wrong. Is victory really necessary? Who can be considered the winner? Is victory always an indicator of true superiority?
In Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's comedy “The Cherry Orchard,” the conflict is centered on the confrontation between the old and the new. Noble society, brought up on the ideals of the past, has stopped in its development, accustomed to receiving everything without much difficulty, by right of birth, Ranevskaya and Gaev are helpless before the need for action. They are paralyzed, cannot make a decision, cannot move. Their world is collapsing, going to hell, and they are building rainbow projects, starting an unnecessary holiday in the house on the day of the estate auction. And then Lopakhin appears - a former serf, and now - the owner cherry orchard. Victory intoxicated him. At first he tries to hide his joy, but soon triumph overwhelms him and, no longer embarrassed, he laughs and literally shouts:
My God, my God, cherry orchard my! Tell me that I'm drunk, out of my mind, that I'm imagining all this...
Of course, the slavery of his grandfather and father may justify his behavior, but in the face of, according to him, his beloved Ranevskaya, it looks, at least, tactless. And here it is already difficult to stop him, like a real master of life, a winner he demands:
Hey musicians, play, I want to listen to you! Come and watch how Ermolai Lopakhin takes an ax to the cherry orchard and how the trees fall to the ground!
Maybe, from the point of view of progress, Lopakhin’s victory is a step forward, but somehow it becomes sad after such victories. The garden is cut down without waiting for departure former owners, Firs is forgotten in a boarded-up house... Does such a play have a morning?
In the story “The Garnet Bracelet” by Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, the focus is on fate young man who dared to love a woman outside his circle. G.S.J. He has long and devotedly loved Princess Vera. His gift is garnet bracelet- immediately attracted the woman’s attention, because the stones suddenly lit up like “lovely thick red living lights. “Definitely blood!” - Vera thought with unexpected alarm.” Unequal relationships are always fraught with serious consequences. The alarming premonitions did not deceive the princess. The need to put the presumptuous scoundrel in his place at all costs arises not so much from the husband as from Vera’s brother. Appearing in front of Zheltkov, representatives of high society a priori behave like winners. Zheltkov’s behavior strengthens them in their confidence: “his trembling hands ran around, fiddling with buttons, pinching his light reddish mustache, touching his face unnecessarily.” The poor telegraph operator is crushed, confused, and feels guilty. But only Nikolai Nikolaevich remembers the authorities to whom the defenders of the honor of his wife and sister wanted to turn, when Zheltkov suddenly changes. No one has power over him, over his feelings, except the object of his adoration. No authorities can prohibit loving a woman. And to suffer for the sake of love, to give one’s life for it - this is the true victory of the great feeling that G.S.Zh was lucky enough to experience. He leaves silently and confidently. His letter to Vera is a hymn to a great feeling, a triumphant song of Love! His death is his victory over the insignificant prejudices of pathetic nobles who feel like masters of life.
Every person in life repeatedly faces different problems and obstacles. Most people overcome all difficulties and adversities. However, the most important and main victory in a person’s life, undoubtedly, has always been and remains victory over oneself. Most often, in all the troubles and failures that arise in life path everyone, everyone is to blame. How important it is to realize your guilt in time, find your mistakes and find the strength to change yourself.
Many of us are stubborn, disobedient, and have too high an ego. These personality traits of each person create many problems and conflicts both with others and with very close people. So, why doesn’t everyone first of all try to change themselves, their character, change their attitude towards life and others? How easy it is to offend loved one How easy it is to offend your interlocutor and, at the same time, not feel the impact of your words!
If during his life a person has managed to realize his mistakes, accept them and spent superhuman efforts to change himself, he will be able to triumph over all troubles and difficulties, because he has managed the most difficult thing - to defeat himself. How many people among us smoke. But they all know very well that this habit is slowly killing them every day and harming the people around them. How many smokers managed to overcome themselves and quit smoking? Very few people compared to those who continue to smoke. Nobody thinks about it, but in order to refuse bad habit a person must overcome himself, gain victory over himself, over his weaknesses.
Each of us struggles with ourselves every day. Some are trying to quit smoking, others are trying to quit drinking, and others are trying to get rid of drug addiction. But few realize that all this is so difficult to do, since the most difficult battle in the life of any person is the fight with himself, with his weaknesses and with the dark side of his essence. The biggest mistake in a person’s life can be denying his guilt and his imperfection.
Everyone is born to improve over the years, become better, gain experience and acquire knowledge. If a person lacks the desire to move forward and rise higher, then he is undoubtedly deprived of any chance of living life correctly. A person must still early age Get used to analyzing yourself and your actions.

All victories begin with victory over yourself
Don't be afraid to go the wrong way -
be afraid not to go anywhere.
Dmitry Yemets.
Life is a long, long road, woven from victories and defeats, from ups and downs, on which events on a universal scale and personal scale take place. How not to get lost and confused in the universe of the time allotted to a person? How can you resist temptations and fatal mistakes so that you don’t feel bitter and offended later? And how to become a winner in your life?
There are many questions, almost no answers, but one thing is clear: this is not easy to do. Literary world is rich in examples confirming the fact of how a person walked through thorns to the stars and how he slipped into the world of greed, spiritual emptiness, losing himself, family and friends. My reader and life experience allow me to boldly agree with the statement that “all victories begin with victory over oneself.”
The life of Santiago, an old man whose face is dotted with wrinkles, and whose hands are covered with deep scars from a string, and very old ones, is proof of this. When you read Ernest Hemingway's parable, at first you are perplexed about what kind of victory we can even talk about. The deplorable, plight of the frail old man is eloquently emphasized by one small but significant detail: a patched sail, reminiscent of “the banner of a completely defeated regiment.” What feelings could this old man evoke in me? Of course, pity, compassion. It is bitter to look at a lonely, old, hungry man, at his hut open to all the winds. The impression is also aggravated by the fact that for 84 days in a row he has been returning from the sea without a single fish. And this is 3 months of living from hand to mouth.
But! Amazing thing! Among all this despondency, we see the cheerful eyes of the old man, “the eyes of a man who does not give up.” Despite his age and streak of bad luck, he is ready to fight and overcome circumstances. I was interested to understand where Santiago got such confidence? After all, everyone had long written off this unlucky old man; the parents of the boy who fished with him took their son and put him in a boat with another fisherman. But the devoted boy is here, taking care of the old man. Maybe it was he, who carefully covered Santiago with a newspaper and brought him food, who was the support he needed in old age? I think it’s the warmth of the soul little boy warmed old age, softened failures and the cold attitude of fishermen. But even more important for Santiago himself is to convey the experience that a young fisherman needs, to prove that an experienced fisherman can catch big fish, you just need to sail further.
And we will see this big fish, or rather, its skeleton - evidence of the extraordinary victory of the old man, which he got at a huge price. In this story you can endlessly ask a whole series questions, among which there is one main one: “Was it worth risking yourself and dragging a narwhal accompanied by bloodthirsty sharks?” Many condemn the old man and see his defeat in this act, arguing that he overestimated his strength and underestimated the sharks. I associate this assessment with the stupid remark of tourists who saw the skeleton of a narwhal and were amazed that the shark (!) had such a beautiful tail. How can it be considered a defeat for Santiago to remain above himself, above the narwhal?! I will not join their voice and say that it was worth it. If he had to repeat this path, he would choose it. It was no coincidence that after this campaign he dreamed of lions. This victory was needed not only by Santiago, but also by the boy. He is still a child, he has a lot to learn from life, from such brave and brave people, like Santiago.
If a person does not learn to overcome circumstances, he becomes their slave. A striking example For me, the slave of my own destiny is Akaki Akakievich Bashmachkin. Perhaps my statement will cause a storm of indignation, but how can you live your whole life in fear, submitting to everyone and everything, and at the same time grumble: “Leave me alone, why are you offending me?” It’s not about the overcoat, old and patched, but about the soul, patched with fears, lack of will, and lack of struggle. In the struggle over his weaknesses, a person grows stronger, step by step establishing himself in life, no matter how difficult and unbearable it may be. “To be”, not “to exist”! “To be” means to burn, to fight, to strive to give the warmth of your soul to people. After all, I found the same warmth in my heart little man Maxim Maksimych, who lived in the same period, but in more difficult conditions, in order to warm the captive Bela, Pechorin. Who did Akaki Akakievich caress?! Who did you help?! Whom did you bestow with your care and attention?! No one... If he fell in love with someone, he would not have time to feel sorry for himself. I feel sorry for him as a human being, but in today’s reading I associate this image with lack of will and lack of fortitude. With the absence of life. One must be, not exist. To live, and not to vegetate, like wise minnow like a teacher Greek language Belikov and the like.
From all that has been said, I can draw the following conclusion. Life is a long, long road. The wheel of life lifts some above circumstances, and wipes others off the face of the earth. But the chariot of his own destiny is controlled by man himself. He may be wrong, but he must always remember that only strong man A man who knows how to triumph over himself can bear his story. “The falcon rises high when it flies” - wisdom confirming the movement up the ladder of one’s own destiny.
