Russian folk tales
Sometimes people have to communicate, get acquainted, now it is very important both in social networks and on dating sites.
The other day, I was approached with just such an intention, and even at a completely inopportune moment — it was important to complete what was planned for the day! Time is all scheduled, and the thought flashed: “What if a person is useful not only to me, but also to others?” In order to use all the opportunities that fate gives, I asked my interlocutor in the chat just an insignificant question: “How can you be useful?”
I will pay tribute to my invisible «assistant», he volunteered to be useful in that he can take me to the cinema. It didn’t interest me! Alas! With pleasure I can go to the cinema with my husband and son! And it really helped me! I think, like me to him!
Of course, there is a possibility that a person was confused and did not immediately understand, did not realize how he could be useful, but there is life ahead … there is! And the opportunity to remember, think over the answer and even do something specific to become necessary, useful!
If you anticipate any contact, communication and acquaintance with the question “How can I be useful?” to a person, business, society, then you can … understand your worthlessness and already start working on “instead of smoking the sky, be able to bring light and joy to people”, or, if you understand your need, expand the boundaries both in time and in scale ! After all, each of us has so many resources: talents, strengths, abilities, as they say, “take it and do it!” yourself useful.
I remembered how this question caught me by surprise when I was asked it for the first time, during the assignment to tell about myself when I entered the University of Practical Psychology. And I’m not a bad person, but somehow I thought about it! Fortunately, the team of teachers, and fellow students, immediately made it possible to remember, fix in memory, realize their ability to be useful and additionally teach, but how to make yourself useful for a long time, always, under any circumstances! So now I live every day and rejoice at my usefulness, the fact that I ask such a question to others and see the results of this in my relatives, friends, and friends.
