10 types of people you should stay away from

Image
Toxic people are not subject to logic. Some are happily unaware of their negative impact on others, while others seem to enjoy destroying and hurting people. Learning how to deal with different people is important, but dealing with a truly toxic person will never justify the time and energy put into it, it will only exhaust you. Toxic people constantly create unnecessary complications, conflict, and worst of all, stress around them. “ People can inspire or exhaust, so choose your conversation partner wisely. – Hans F. Hansen A recent study by the German University. Friedrich Schiller showed how serious is the topic toxicity in interaction .

Whether it’s negative perceptions, cruelty, victim syndrome, or just plain insanity, toxic people create a state o...

Lydia - The Good Angel by Henri Matisse

Image
Lidia Delectorskaya happened upon the vacancy notice. In autumn 1932 she rang the bell of an unknown artist… A Russian emigrant, a native of Tomsk, read an advertisement at a bus stop in Nice: An artist needs an assistant. Far from painting, Lydia Delectorskaya first saw and heard the then venerable artist Henri Matisse. At that time he was 63 years old, Lilia 22. After several months of working as a model for the grandiose panel “Dance”, Lydia left his workshop, but then the artist’s wife Amelie fell seriously ill, and the couple remembered leading Russian girl who invites her as a nurse.

Amelie Matisse went to her daughter in Paris, Henri an...

The street cat chooses people to entrust newborn kittens to and gives birth to them in the backyard

Image
Even before the cat was born, it sought out familiar people and, when the time came, asked for help. Residents of one of the areas of Southern California have seen this stray cat several times. In search of food, she pinned down a family’s yard and started coming there. The owners of the house regularly provided food in bowls and did everything they could to help the cat. One weekend last month, when the cat returned, it was clear she had just given birth. “She went to people who needed help right after she was born,” says Jan Marder, a volunteer nanny at Wrenn Rescues. After determining the location of the kittens in their yard, the home’s owners found that two of them were in poor condition. “These wonderful people cleaned up the mother and her kittens and took a heating pad out of the house to help with the crumbs.” Jen saw a post describing this situation on social media and didn’t step aside. “I picked them up the next day when t...
