Instead of the suggested ones, you can come up with your own versions of “mottos”, using various proverbs, sayings and catchphrases.

The male ego is a delicate thing. At the same time, no matter how much you inflate it, it, like a good sail, will not burst. And there is no need for this - it is more prudent to swim under it and swim towards happiness, prosperity and harmonious life.

However, is all praise pleasant for a man or is he for for many years evolution learned to rank it, distinguishing between subtle flattery, selfish toadying, and rude admiration? Praise why for men especially nice and what is the most wonderful compliment they have ever heard addressed to themselves? With all these questions, as usual, I pestered, pestered, and still couldn’t get away from our beloved Belarusian men. And the most interesting thing is that they answered with such pleasure!

(At the end of the article there is a discordant girl’s choir, claiming that they praise their men, and a commentary from a psychologist, almost completely refuting this statement.)

The King speaks!

Volodya, 27:

“I love it when people praise me, and I hate it when they nag me. The worst thing, of course, is when, say, in the morning they tell me how wonderful I am, and by the evening they tell me how crap I am. It’s logical that I like it when they tell you that you are the best, no matter what(in a positive sense, naturally, because “the dumbest” will not have such an effect). The main thing is that for her most. Compliments come next. appearance and intelligence. In short, the same things that we like since childhood, when our mother praised us."

Yuri, 33:

“My two-year-old niece is the most real woman of all the women in our clan. It’s not for nothing that they say that girls have a full set of hormones from birth. She asks my son Mishka to ride her on a bike, on a trunk, for example. He takes it. And she: “Misha, you are so smart!” That is, she already understood this simple principle. Praise your man - he'll hurt himself. Because he is loved and appreciated here. That is, praise in a relationship brings only advantages. And then, it happens, a man paints a fence, walks around, asks everyone: “Well, it’s beautiful, right?” That is, it begs for praise. And the wife: “It would be better if you nailed a shelf in the house!” She seems pleased, but she’s afraid to over-praise, or something. Keeps you in good shape, that is. Maybe, of course, there are such spiritual masochists, but it seems to me that sooner or later there will be another who will say: “Oh, you are so smart, you have such a sense of humor, you are so lucky!” And he will decide that, well, indeed! I'll go..."


Vadim, 22:

“I don’t like being praised at all. It pulls me out of the process of self-improvement. Although I don’t like being nagged either. I love healthy constructive criticism. It’s just compliments are either untrue or something I already know about myself. In the first case, there is nothing to be happy about at all for obvious reasons, but in the second - well, ok, thanks for being the captain. Well, look: when a woman says to you, “Oh, how wonderful you are, how wonderful,” it means that next time it will be, “Oh, wow, I thought you were good, I praised you so much, I tried so hard, and you behaved like a beast."

Alexey, 30:

"When you are praised, it is always pleasant. The question is whether BEFORE you were praised, there was WHAT you were praised FOR. Personally, in my life I only take money for the work done - that’s why I prefer well-founded praises/comments. If they praise just like that, out of nowhere, the question arises - something is wrong here. Especially when a woman praises, the conclusion arises by itself - this is what happens in 90% of cases. ? When the wife says: “My husband did it!”


Vasily, 26:

"I distinguish two types of female praise. One is approval, which is necessary in order to start a conversation or support it. By the way, this may often be followed by some kind of request, but I take this calmly. The second type is praise, which is followed by interest in me as a man. How do I feel about this? Depends on how I myself look at the development of this relationship. If I really noticed such a quality in myself, then it’s nice, but here it is. If the compliment is forced, I smile and thank you, but the thought in my head is “what are you up to?” The coolest compliment I heard was, perhaps, for my ears: on top of them (not inside, but on top) such light, short and very soft hair grows. The compliment was that it made my ears “very cool and nice to pet.” I also remember one from a girl with whom I did social work at the university. She said that being with me was easy and calm, as if you were sitting next to me on a cloud. Well okay :)"

Slava, 29:

“Of course, it’s nice when you’re praised, especially if it’s a woman, and especially if you like her. It’s doubly nice when you’re praised for work or an action that you yourself are pleased with. Because if you’re praised for some little thing, it’s not really It’s valuable. And in general, it’s already unpleasant if you feel that they are sucking up to you in this way and trying to appease you, so that later they can somehow use them. For me, the most pleasant compliments are those that emphasize a man’s essence. "a real man", "my man", "my hero" etc. Well, probably It is especially worth highlighting the compliments received for achievements in bed. If, of course, they are sincere, otherwise it’s like a sickle in the balls.”


The Queen echoes

Tatiana, 30:

“I have always praised all my men, they, one might say, bathed in praise. In a good way. And from experience I can say that they really need it and really like it - they grow stronger and become more confident. True, not everyone knows how to react and accept compliments, because they are “spoiled” / suppressed by past relationships or incorrect family guidelines. Therefore, if I encounter this, I try to praise measuredly and gently, gradually explaining in conversations that this is normal, good and very necessary for both women and men. men."

Tatiana, 28:

“I praise my husband maybe 5 times a day, and sometimes even once a week. I praise him for specific tasks (we are currently undergoing renovations, and he really does a lot), I praise him for his creativity - no matter how simple playing the guitar may seem ( namely technical development, routine exercises), it still requires effort and, in his case, perseverance. Besides, this is a significant part of his life (he is a musician), and it is important to me, so his good sense of self in this matter is important. I prepared breakfast, for example, why not say that he did a great job, especially when it’s true. I like to praise little things, but it’s not like giving a horse sugar for a number in the arena, it’s really sincere.

Sometimes I praise preventatively, how could I do without it when he has PMS :) The husband accepts praise normally, especially when it comes to action, and doesn’t hide behind “oh, what are you doing.” It is important to him that I appreciate him and that he can feel like a support, so when I praise him for such moments and situations, he is doubly pleased. But he doesn’t like praise for the sake of praise - I tried it once and quickly stopped short: I thought it would cheer him up, but Now I understand that there must be a reason for praise. Except when he has PMS :)"

Alesya, 30:

“I don’t praise my husband often - usually if I need something from him. I show my love more through actions and deeds. Well, for example, he loves it when stuffed peppers suddenly appear on the table or I come to him in purple stockings and red lipstick. Well, what other reaction could there be to this other than wild delight?”

Every woman dreams O harmonious relationships with people of the opposite sex. After all, it is men who give women love and care; they can make her truly happy.

Which one motto in relationships with men What should a woman choose for herself in order to find peace and confidence in the future in a relationship?

Let's try to answer this question.

One of the ancient poets compared a woman to a flower; he described that, going out into a spring field, you can see how they grow different flowers: and beautiful freedom-loving poppies, and delicate blue bells, and bold and bold tulips.

Also women. They are all very different, so they are looking for themselves different men and choose a motto for themselves in a relationship with a man, depending on life circumstances.

Let's try to consider the mottos of different representatives of the fair sex.

I'm moving forward, if you want, stay close»

With such a woman to a man very difficult to cope. After all, before him is a modern emancipated representative of the fair sex, she does everything herself, decides everything herself, takes responsibility and without illusions looks to the future.

It is difficult to surprise such a woman with anything, because she expects little from her partner and is not afraid of losing him.

A man caring for such a lady of his heart must either come to terms with the role of a cute domestic henpecked man, or accept the situation of constant domestic conflict and struggle in the family for the right to decide how to live and what to do.

Such a woman, as a rule, chooses some profitable and serious profession for herself: she becomes a successful lawyer or economist, opens her own business producing or trading certain goods, strive to become a leader middle or senior management.

A woman leader always takes care of herself, her appearance, clothes and hairstyle. Although this usually manifests itself in the fact that she wears a business suit without a hint of femininity and a short haircut.

The lady leader does not like to emphasize her belonging to the weaker sex; she does not wear jewelry, considering it to be trinkets. You can't make her cry over melodrama in the cinema.

Such a woman pays some attention to her family, however career growth also means a lot to her, so she would rather give up her husband than her career. Sometimes such women become devoted mothers, but they behave too authoritarian in their relationships with their own children, shamelessly interfering in and leading their lives.

Thus, the chosen motto in a relationship with a man allows a woman leader to assert herself and gain vitality inside myself.

I live for you"

The opposite of the emancipated type modern woman is a traditional and already a thing of the past type of mother-housewife, of course devoted to her husband and children, resigned and outwardly very weak.

Such women are called create comfort around you. They take care of their children and husband as the most precious thing in their life. Such women are able to get up at five o'clock in the morning to cook delicious food for their husband. healthy breakfast, set the table for him and wake up his dear spouse at the appointed time.

Women devote themselves to children, they buy them expensive toys, not at all caring that they themselves dress more than modestly.

As a rule, men who choose such a woman as their wife and show concern for her can find family happiness and peace with her.

However, if a man eventually gets bored with such a woman, it will be difficult for him to break off relations with her, because for such a woman the break will be a real tragedy.

This type of woman can't survive betrayal, she becomes depressed, having lost the meaning of life with the loss of a significant man.

Let's love each other as equals»

Such a woman represents " golden mean“between a woman leader, for whom a man is only an accompaniment to her life, and a woman housewife who dissolves in her husband and children.

reasonable and moderately emotional. She will not come into conflict with her husband over trifles, but nevertheless she is able to defend her position and point of view in front of him. However, such a woman will do it gently, without pressing the husband.

Such a woman will allow a man feel like a leader, at the same time she will achieve the respect of her husband and children.

A woman of this type has a good profession that allows her to simultaneously build a career and be a wife and mother. Although family is still more important for such a woman, she will not sacrifice her family for the sake of achieving professional success.

Such a woman calm and friendly, she appreciates and loves her husband, but divorce will not be an insurmountable tragedy for her: she is strong and weak at the same time. She allows herself to be taken care of and is happy to take care of herself.

A man living next to such a woman may find true happiness, because she respects him and respects herself, and this is very important. The chosen motto in relations with a man allows such a woman love and be loved, while remaining a unique and inimitable personality.

The motto in a relationship with a man is every woman's right to choose, only we choose our destiny and are responsible for our choice!

  • What a person wants to be.
  • His goals.
  • Principles and values.

These provisions should be the standard for making important decisions; they are precisely the core that is not afraid of changes.

Today people rarely create their own life motto. Usually they use the words of great people, aphorisms, quotes and statuses that briefly and succinctly reflect everything that a person wants to tell himself. Although you can meet those who describe their motto with dozens of points. There are no special criteria to adhere to. The main thing is that the established rules make life easier and clearer, help achieve what you want, and the person forever remains a Man with a capital “H.”

Thoughts of antiquity

Nowadays, it is rare to meet a person with a life motto that comes from the lips of thinkers of the ancient world. It’s very in vain, because even today their words have a deep meaning:

People who decide to act are usually lucky. Moreover, it rarely accompanies someone who only weighs and hesitates (Herodotus).
It is better to be exposed to injustice than to commit it yourself (Socrates).
It is better to be the subject of envy than compassion (Herodotus).
Do not do anything shameful, either in front of others or in secret. Your first law should be self-respect (Pythagoras).

These phrases very clearly explain that you need to remain human in any conditions and never give up. Although words about action are usually understood only by those who know first-hand how disgusting a person who decides to retreat can feel. At such moments, it seems that all meaning is lost in life and there is no motivation to do anything. Not even like that: having retreated, a person involuntarily asks the question: “Inhale, exhale. But why?

winding river

Standing water tends to turn into a swamp. It's the same with a person. He has no moral right to stop: if a person does not move forward, then he is degrading. It's simple. Life is a humiliatingly short thing, and perhaps you can find the answers in examples of life mottos:

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet (Jean-Jacques Rousseau).
Time does not like to be wasted (Henry Ford).
Not a single athlete managed to become a champion after more than a dozen years (Lyudmila Gurchenko).
A bad student is one who is not superior to the teacher (Leonardo da Vinci).
Never give up on your dreams (Paulo Coelho).
To conquer the whole world, you need to defeat yourself (Fyodor Dostoevsky).
Take every chance as if it were your last (Henry Ford).
No desire is given to a person separately from the power that allows it to be fulfilled (Richard Bach).

And even here everything is extremely clear: moving forward, improving every day, is what a person should do.

A proverb is also a motto

A life principle or motto can often be found in proverbs and sayings. Consider the simple and at times annoying “morning is wiser than evening.” Surely each of us has heard it more than once. And it was especially infuriating when there were a couple of hours left before the alarm went off, and there was a couple of days of unfinished work and everything needed to be done urgently to show the boss in the morning. It is at such moments that this saying is completely inappropriate (it also gets on your nerves). Although in other cases it can become an excellent motto for “larks” who, having accumulated enough strength during the night, only by opening their eyes, immediately solve problems that seemed insurmountable in the evening.

Other sayings are not without their deep meaning:

What goes around comes around.
To achieve a goal, you must first go to it.
The one who does nothing makes no mistakes.
Never say never.
Fate leads the smart, but drags the stupid.
If you want to live, know how to spin.

What are men talking about?

It has already been mentioned that life mottos, which meaningfully convey to a person the guidelines for his activities, may not look like a quote, but look like a list. So, for example, you can make a list of internal guidelines for men and women.

The strong half of humanity usually sees their creeds as follows:

  • There should be no compromise with honesty.
  • You should always remember about the people who are nearby.
  • It is necessary to judge something or someone when the opinions of all parties have been heard.
  • Listen to other people's advice.
  • Stand up for the weak and those who are discussed behind their backs.
  • Combine sincerity and determination.
  • Acquire a new ability every year.
  • Make plans for tomorrow.
  • While waiting for something, do not sit idle.
  • Maintain a sense of humor and order.
  • Be afraid of creative and constructive responses to mistakes.
  • Listen more than talk.

Life mottos of women

Using exactly the same principle, you can draw up life credos for women:

  • Maintain a balance between work and family.
  • Create a cozy, calm and joyful home.
  • Show wisdom regarding family leisure.
  • Develop skills that expand opportunities.
  • Subordinate desires and needs to existing opportunities, etc.

Workers' creed

It is worth noting that a life motto is not only a personal matter for everyone, but also a powerful argument that influences the decision to hire. Today, many employers pay attention not so much to all the text that is written in the resume, but to the life credo of the applicant. Just one phrase - and it becomes clear whether this person will work in the company or not.

For example, obligatory people can write in their resume that their credo is a simple solution: “If you promise, you will deliver.” Applicants with a constructive mindset can simply say that they are always moving towards the goal without emotions that prevent them from thinking soberly. Resourceful people often note that they can find opportunity in any circumstance.

Phrase: “I know how to respond to changes in environment"Speaks of human flexibility. And the words: “I notice an opportunity - act” show that a person has initiative.

Just by looking at the life credo noted in the resume, the employer can almost instantly determine whether the applicant is suitable for him or not. In addition, during recruitment, the human factor cannot be excluded. It often happens that a person is invited to work only because his motto in life is almost the same as that of the potential employer.

Wise phrases

The best life mottos can be completely different: a proverb, a famous aphorism, or even an advertising slogan. Sometimes it can be one word or phrase, and at times an entire chapter taken from a book. In fact, it's not that important. The main thing is that all these words illuminate the path for a person walking through life, directing him in the right direction.

The life credo is somewhat reminiscent of the warm spring sun: as soon as it appears after a long winter, life immediately begins to blossom in the world. Same with life credo- as soon as a person decides what he really wants and how he wants to see himself, all the doors will open to him. It may seem that such phrases are simply beautiful words, but it is precisely in such words that great power lies. Just like thoughts, words are material and have a great influence on a person.

The tradition of life mottos has been known since ancient times. The Knights of Camelot used short and succinct statements that showed their life and moral position. This is the basis of a person’s internal self-motivation, sometimes the motto can be ready-made solution V difficult situation. This is a kind of epigraph human life.

Yes, you can do without it. You don’t have to bother choosing your credo, but what will a person get in the end? Most likely, a boundless, ringing emptiness, where there will be social norms and rules of conduct, but the person will cease to be.

Push the boundaries! I always do what I don’t know how to do in order to learn it (Pablo Picasso).
Inspiration should come while working (Pablo Picasso).
The most important thing is to put things in order in your soul: don’t complain, don’t blame, don’t justify (Bernard Shaw).
Anyone who can be happy alone is a real person. You are a slave if your happiness depends on others (Osho).
Most people are only as happy as they decide to be (Abraham Lincoln).
Those who wait passively eventually receive what they expected, but only what is left after those who acted energetically (Abraham Lincoln).

Each of us is a unique individual. But what makes us unique is not our appearance, achievements or level intellectual development, namely the position in society that we decided to take. A person may be career-oriented, starting a family, or gaining financial independence. This is not so important, each of us has our own desires, and it is necessary, simply necessary, to make them come true.

Life can turn out differently; society has its own laws and orders. If a person differs from the norm, he is immediately enrolled in the army of “strange” people and is bypassed. Left alone with reality without support and approval, a person can break down, give up his plans and will do as the public demands of him. But you should never shift responsibility for your happiness onto someone else. Having support under your feet, an unshakable inner core, everyone is able to achieve what they want. And this core is nothing more than a life motto.

Never, under any circumstances, should a person neglect himself, his aspirations and dreams. Even if they don’t understand him, don’t recognize him, avoid him, even if the whole world turns against him, he must survive. The goal achieved will definitely be worth the effort. Your life motto or credo may sound different, but only it can give confidence, strength and inspiration.

If you want to succeed, continue to believe in yourself even when no one believes in you (Karl Marx).
Become a better person and understand who you are before you meet someone new and hope that they will understand (Gabriel García Márquez).
If you feel like you're giving up, remember why you were holding on before (Jared Leto).
Everything is in our hands, so we can’t give them up (Coco Chanel).

We are people, and not ships at all, but even we need to have guidelines in life. Without them, a person is simply a biological organism, programmed to study, work and create a family. A faceless substance that tramples the ground aimlessly.

Psychology often says that forgotten desires begin to smolder over time. They seem to turn into a toxic substance that corrodes the mind. And then a person turns into a real monster who can kill, destroy, betray. If this is not so, then why are there so many crimes being committed in the world?!

By giving up his desires, a person will not die, but will he live?! People don't really die when their body stops functioning; they gradually die throughout their lives. From unfulfilled promises, forgotten desires, indifference to one’s fate. And only life mottos help to remain calm and force a person to fight for his existence. They are like a lifeline. When in this unstable world there is no one else to rely on, a person can only turn to words for help. Words that have power.
