Composition text:


How to believe in the world
Even if there is no peace?
How long can you wait
Seeing off trains?
Why do you? Why forever?

Another train ticket
Clutched in the palm timidly
You can't hide your eyes
Who cares?
Four more steps
Left to part
Why didn't you say?
Yes, just like that, out of boredom

Why day? Why is the sun light?
How to believe in the world
Even if there is no peace?
How long can you wait
Seeing off trains?
Why do you? Why forever?

Like lines from a prayer
Reading the timetable
Your dreams are broken
empty promises
Four more breaths
Just a moment left
And someone will stop
touch you

Why day? Why is the sun light?
How to believe in the world
Even if there is no peace?
How long can you wait
Seeing off trains?
Why do you? Why forever?

Forever and ever...
Forever and ever...

Translation of the text of the song Guests from the Future - Why is the day Why is the sun light How to believe in the world, Even if there is no world How long can you wait, Seeing off

The text of the composition:


How to believe in a world
Even if there is no peace?
As can be expected
Seeing the train?
Why? Why?

Again train ticket
Squeezed in the hand timidly
His eyes can't hide
Who cares?
There are four steps
Left before the separation
Why didn't you say?
Yes just out of boredom

Why day? Why does the sun Shine?
How to believe in a world
Even if there is no peace?
As can be expected
Seeing the train?
Why? Why?

As the lines of prayer
Read the schedule
Your dreams are broken
empty promises
Four more sigh
Left before the moment
And someone will stop
You touch

Why day? Why does the sun Shine?
How to believe in a world
Even if there is no peace?
As can be expected
Seeing the train?
Why? Why?

The daytime subway car is half full. The monotonous movement from station to station does not bring any tension, if you do not remember the events that happened the day before. On a long seat for six, two middle-aged women are talking quietly but animatedly to each other, laughing at times. Next to them, an elderly man of about sixty reads a newspaper, periodically raising his eyes and somehow sternly, and sometimes suspiciously looks at someone. I sit across from me in my usual headphones, sleepily opening my eyes as the train arrives at the new station. A student is dozing next to me, hugging a backpack and clutching a mobile phone in his hand. In subway cars new series increased noise reduction, so in the pauses between songs you can clearly hear everything that happens around.

Suddenly, an elderly man opposite rises and loudly, clearly, but without aggression, demands that the girl, who is sitting two empty seats from me, get out of the car. I open my eyes, taking off my headphones. He does not scream, does not hysteria, but simply insistently demands. The women are silent. A student wakes up. Passengers who are across the span look wary, perplexed. I turn my head.

A girl of about twenty, perhaps twenty-three, looks up at the man with bewildered eyes. Dark hair is casually covered with a warm knitted scarf that is wrapped around the neck. Dark mid-length loose-fit coat, jeans and boots. On my knees is a bag, slightly larger than the usual lady's, but not sports. The girl herself is not of Slavic appearance.

Everyone in the car freezes, fixing their eyes on her. The man loudly insists that she leave the car at the nearest station. No accusations. No insults. He just wants her to come out. She looks at him blankly for a few more seconds, and then she understands everything.

She rises a little abruptly, placing the bag next to her. The man takes a step back. The women opposite seem to have huddled into their seats and stare in fear. Such silence, as if the train had stopped in a tunnel. But no, it moves and makes noise, and we all seem to no longer hear it.

No, no, she says quickly. - Everything is fine. You shouldn't have thought so.

But now everyone is looking at her. Who with fear. Who is incomprehensible. Who is judgmentally vicious.

You're wrong, she says, as if justifying herself. Tears appear in the eyes. - I have nothing. She unwinds her scarf, dropping it on the seat, and begins to undo the buttons of her coat nervously. He opens it, and tears are already flowing down his cheeks. She turns to everyone so that we can all make sure that under the coat there is only a thin sweater under which you can’t hide anything. “Look, there’s nothing,” she continues. Many have already turned away. Someone else keeps watching. The older man lowers his eyes ambiguously. The girl catches his eye, thinking that he is looking at the bag and quickly sits up, pulling her to him. - There's nothing here either. Look, there's nothing. Her voice is weaker. She chokes on tears and flips the bag open. Things fall on the seat. And none of them poses a threat. Ordinary things, the same as each of us. “After all, there is nothing,” she repeats once more, raising her eyes to the man. He purses his lips and doesn't look at her anymore.

She puts her face in her hands and weeps. The train pulls up and stops at the next station. The man, bashfully moving his eyebrows, clutches a newspaper to his hand and leaves the car. He does not go far, stops near the second column and, without turning around to face the carriage, only shakes his head in dismay. Several passengers who have entered do not understand what has happened and are seated in empty seats. The doors close and the train starts moving forward again. The girl, sobbing often, collects her things from the seat, putting them back. I pick up the lip gloss that has rolled onto the floor. One of the women sitting opposite comes over and hands her paper handkerchiefs. She accepts and nods gratefully without looking up.

“Believe in yourself and the rest will fall into place. Believe in your own abilities, work hard - and nothing will be impossible for you, ”— Brad Henry.


This is good known fact: If someone wants to succeed in life, he must believe in himself. People easily lose faith when faced with obstacles, setbacks, and fears. When you lack self-confidence, others see it and don't take you seriously. Not many people are living the life they always wanted to live; they give up on their goals as soon as they face the first setback. One of the main reasons for this is that they don't believe in themselves. You must believe because your inner faith creates outer results.

The modern world we live in is extremely competitive and complex, and people begin to doubt themselves and their abilities when they fail. But a few failures are not the end!

We offer 10 simple tips on how to regain confidence in yourself.

1. Accept the current situation

The first thing you need to do if you want to start believing in yourself again is to accept your current life situation. You have to come to terms with the way your life looks at the moment and the things that have led to this situation. If you suffer because of this, you will not achieve anything. Only when you realize that nothing can be returned back will you have enough energy to change our lives.

“First, accept failure. Realize that without losing, the gain is not so great.”- Alyssa Milano.

2. Think about your past successes


If you feel like you've hit rock bottom, use your past to give you enough motivation to get back up. Once you were amazing. Take yourself back to that past and think about the amazing things you did. Now realize that you can do it again. It's easy to think about the times when someone hurt you, but it's just as easy to think about the times in your life when you were successful. Use the past not to revel in your failures, but to motivate yourself to achieve new goals.

"Every day is new opportunity. You can reminisce about yesterday's success, or you can leave the failures behind and start all over again. Life is like this, every day a new game,— Bob Feller.

3. Trust yourself


This is one of the most important things that will help you regain faith in yourself. All the energy, strength, courage and confidence is within you. Spend time with yourself to discover this, whether through meditation or activity.

“Everything in the universe is within you. Ask everything from yourself,– Rumi

4. Talk to yourself


We ourselves determine who we want to become. What we say to ourselves and how we motivate ourselves plays a huge role. Ultimately, you do not need the approval of others, because in fact you need your own self-affirmation. Therefore, support yourself with conversation and praise when you no longer have anyone to get approval and good motivation from.

“The brain believes almost everything you say. And what you tell him about yourself, he will recreate. He has no choice."

“If you tell yourself that you can’t do something, what will be the outcome?” — Shad Helmstetter.

5. Don't let fear stop you.


Fear hides behind false evidence of what seems to be real. This is the main thing that keeps you from believing in yourself much more than anything else. Face your fears and don't let them stop you from reaching your goals.

"Always do what you're afraid to do"— Ralph Waldo Emerson

6. Be compassionate to yourself


You must forgive yourself for any failures or mistakes you have made in the past and move on. You must look to the future and stop living in past failures. Be more compassionate towards yourself.

7. Positive attitude


Having a positive attitude towards everything is the most fast way restore faith and self-confidence. Be grateful for who you are and what you have. Find only the good in the world around, then positive people and positive events will fill your life.

8. Accept help from strangers


Others see your life from the outside and are sometimes more objective advisers than you yourself. Your family and friends can help you recognize your abilities and skills, focus on your goal, and remember your past successes. When you are full of doubts, the people who love you will help you believe in yourself again.

9. Keep moving forward and never look back


"If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl, but whatever you do, you must keep moving forward."- Martin Luther King Jr.

There will be countless times in life when you feel like you've hit rock bottom. The voice in your head will tell you to stop and you will start to doubt yourself, but never listen to that voice. Be strong and keep moving on. If you keep walking, you will eventually reach your destination. And when you do, you will realize how much stronger you have become.

10. Let life guide you


Let your life take its natural course. When you learn to follow the flow of life, you will realize that this is a wonderful and wise adviser. If you let life guide you, it will shower you with its gifts and riches. To do this, you will have to come to terms with the life that is given to you and learn to relax. Let her herself guide you on the right path, and then you are guaranteed to succeed.

“We all have different things that we go through in Everyday life. And it's really important to know, just at the end of the day, that we've won and overcome it all. You must believe in yourself. You must believe in God and know that he will help you get through difficulties,— Kelly Rowland.

Always believe in yourself and your uniqueness!

Why your weakness is the soil in which your strength grows

In these difficult and strange times, I meet many people who are having trouble believing in themselves. How can you believe in yourself when it seems like the world is trying to bring you down at every turn? Is it possible?

Most of us approach the question of believing in ourselves from the outside. There's a goal we're told we need to achieve—get the perfect job, go on the perfect date, develop the perfect relationship, build the perfect career, live the perfect life, and so on—and then we grit our teeth and start moving towards achieving it. .

What do you need to be to live the perfect life? Ideal. What "I" do you believe in in this case? Not the true "I", but an idealized one, imposed by other people. In their opinion, if we do not do as they say, we will suffer. But the problem is that we are already suffering - because of trying to become a perfect, flawless and perfect version. This is what can be called "infantile omnipotence" - an immature belief that we must be omnipotent and omnipotent in order to earn love, respect and security.

Thus, the external approach to believing in oneself (dependence on goals and achievements, as well as the desire for external approval) does not work. Its by-products are despair, sadness, alienation and immaturity. When we strive to appear perfect, all-powerful, we put on a show, don't we? Belief in yourself based on an external approach is always false. Strive to be a perfect person and live such a lie - it hurts. We will never become perfect, but because of our desire for this, relationships suffer, we become unhappy, lose meaning and purpose in life.

What happened? We stopped believing in our true selves and instead started believing in a fictional idea. Believing in your true self is the key to a fulfilling life. So what do we need to do?

Let's start with weaknesses. Recognize and acknowledge them. Do you know yourself well? For example, I was incredibly weak for a long time - almost every word hurt me. Perhaps you are afraid of intimacy. Perhaps you get upset when people disappoint you. Perhaps, fear of rejection, you push people away from you. Perhaps you consider yourself stupid, soft and boring - and for this very reason you never show yourself.

This age despises weakness. But that is why he is so miserable and angry. Weakness is the soil of life, because our weaknesses are the only soil in which everything that is good, beautiful, strong and real that is in us grows. A person who fears intimacy is likely to develop passion, connection, and empathy. The one who gets upset when people disappoint him wants the best for people. The one who is afraid of being rejected is able to let people close and be soft and gentle. The person who considers himself stupid, bland and boring is the one who values ​​the richness of life and the opportunity to develop the most. Weaknesses: fear, severity, anger, contempt. Strengths: empathy, compassion, courage, intimacy, nobility.

So when we truly believe in ourselves, we start with our weaknesses. We analyze them. "Who am I really?" Answer: my weaknesses. I'm afraid. I am angry. I push people away. But your weaknesses also contain your strengths. "Who am I really?" Answer: what will grow out of the “broken” soil inside you (if, of course, you allow this to happen). I somehow manage to deeply feel what other people feel. I seem to only want the best for people. I need to inspire and keep people close. These are beautiful things that I have seen in their true light.

Now you understand a little who you are. Let go of the imposed - ideal, hero, villain, loser, winner, monster, savior. It makes no sense to reproach yourself for your shortcomings. Perhaps your fragility, which you have despised for so long, is the breeding ground for all that is good within you.

Even in the most successful society, many people need help. These are children from the orphanage, and beggars on the street, and veterans, and those who need a blood transfusion.

Try to make someone's day a little better. Solving other people's problems will make you more confident, increase self-esteem.

2. Make a list of wins

Surely you have had difficult situations in your life from which you emerged victorious, or achievements that you can be proud of. Remember them. This will help you to believe in yourself.

3. Surround yourself with people who believe in you.

Try to communicate to a minimum with those who constantly humiliate you and humiliate you. Instead, find people with similar values ​​who will support you and celebrate your progress.

4. Accept yourself

Love yourself completely, with all your strengths and weaknesses. It is impossible to become confident if you reject your own qualities.

5. Change the angle of view

Stop focusing on the hardships and injustices of your life. Focus on the good and interesting around you, in difficult situations, look for positive moments and be grateful to fate.

6. Solve problems gradually

It is completely unrealistic to start believing in yourself if you constantly fail in your endeavors. Perhaps life really throws too difficult tasks at you. Or maybe you do not assess your strengths well enough.

Determine a goal that is obviously achievable for yourself and do small, but small steps towards it. This will teach you how to correctly calculate your resources.

7. Study yourself

Francis Bacon said that knowledge is power. And he was right. If you can't cope with a problem, then you learn everything that can help in solving it. If you can't control yourself, you must study yourself first.

Motivational literature and seminars on personal growth can make it easier to find support in your life. Explore how the world works and the psychology of other people in order to better understand yourself.

8. Live your goals

Evaluate your goals for a year, five years and a lifetime. Be honest with yourself. Are these really your aspirations or just pictures from a fashion magazine stuck in your mind? Do you really want it or given goal imposed by your half, boss, environment? Maybe instead of traveling to tropical islands, deep down inside you dream of locking yourself up in an office and writing a program or a novel? Or vice versa, is it time to drop everything and change your corporate tie for a bungalow overlooking the ocean?

You can only believe in yourself if you live your life. You can’t waste your time to fulfill other people’s desires and respect yourself at the same time.

9. Stop comparing yourself to others

Everyone has their own path, goals and achievements. Do not waste time, emotions and energy on running a race with other people. Otherwise, your whole life will pass in the skin of a racehorse, driven by the whip of vanity and the spurs of ambition.
