Usually, spouses celebrate round dates associated with the conclusion of their marriage, for example, it is customary to celebrate a silver wedding on a grand scale! But do not forget about intermediate anniversaries, for example, a beryl wedding. Why? Everything is very symbolic: the blood in the human body makes a complete revolution in 23 seconds. So after the beryl wedding, the spouses seem to begin a new stage in their lives, because the children are already old enough, which means that you can pay due attention to your partner. How to celebrate the 23rd wedding anniversary and what presents to prepare for the spouses, the Wedding.ws portal will tell you.

Anniversary symbols

The symbol of the 23rd wedding anniversary is the mineral - beryl - a stone of spiritual harmony, love and prosperity in the family, the keeper of the hearth. It has several varieties. Many of them are not of particular value (heliodor, augustite), but some are precious: emerald and aquamarine. So the marriage of spouses after 23 years from the wedding can either become something important for each of them, or have no special value. Strong "emerald" couples will continue to stay together, retaining quivering and tender feelings for each other.

It is symbolic that in industry beryl is made more transparent and beautiful with the help of heat treatment. So the relationship of the spouses over the course of 23 years of marriage went through various kinds of tests, becoming more “transparent” and trusting by the beryl wedding. But on the other hand, the union of spouses requires a careful attitude, because they, like jewelry beryl, are still quite fragile. This must be remembered by the husband and wife, entering a new stage of their marriage.

How to celebrate 23 wedding years?

Usually the 23rd anniversary is celebrated in the family circle at home or in a cozy restaurant. If you plan to spend this holiday at home, then use green, bluish or yellow shades in its decor (this is the color beryl is most often found in nature). Do not forget about thematic elements: photos of spouses in beautiful frames, flower arrangements, etc.

The menu for the festive table can be very different: from meat and fish to salads and cold appetizers. The highlight of the celebration can be a cake if you make it in a fashionable style with an imitation of a mineral. Such a confectionery masterpiece looks original and spectacular, which can be presented as a gift for the 23rd wedding anniversary.

For 23 years of family life, right in front of the guests, the spouses should beautifully pack a bottle of champagne, which they will open on their silver wedding anniversary. And after this beautiful ritual, the guests utter tender and touching wishes to the spouses, the text of which is better to prepare in advance, choosing the most suitable option among the congratulations on the wedding anniversary by year!

What to wear for spouses and guests?

There are no special requirements for a festive dress code. The only thing is, if the husband and wife, as well as the guests, want to emphasize the style of the holiday, they can dress in outfits of green, bluish or yellow tones.

The spouse and women present at the celebration can complement their image with jewelry with stones of the beryl group: emerald, aquamarine, etc.

What to give for a beryl wedding?

If you were invited to a celebration dedicated to 23 years of marriage, then you should definitely think about what you will give your spouses, because what is a wedding anniversary without a touching presentation of presents. Finding products with beryl is quite difficult, so the search for gifts for the 23rd wedding anniversary should start well in advance. Spouses can purchase:

• Genet- jewelry with beryl (earrings, bracelet, ring, necklace), as well as a jewelry box inlaid with this stone or a wrist watch.
• Husband- ring, cufflinks, tie clip, lighter or key chain with beryl.

Friends and relatives of the husband and wife can pick up gifts for them, decorated with stones or having a green, yellow or bluish color (the main feature of this anniversary is that gifts should be paired!):

• exclusive glasses;
• double photo frame;
• bedside lamps;
• paired figurines (two swans or doves);
• elite crockery.

In addition to giving various kinds of jewelry and interior items with stones for a beryl wedding, a family portrait in a beautiful frame decorated in a festive style, as well as any gifts in “beryl” colors that will really be useful to spouses, will be an excellent present. After all, any present can be made thematic, accompanying it with beautiful and touching

The study showed: at what age do people most often feel happiness

Psychologists at the Center for Economic Research at the London School of Economics have determined the happiest age for a person. Most of all, those who are slightly over 20 and those who have not yet turned 70 are most satisfied with their lives. According to scientists, the fact is that in the first case, for the most part, young people do not yet have negative life experience. And as for the other age group, these people are satisfied that they have learned not to regret the past.

The experiment involved more than twenty thousand people aged 17 to 85 years. The researchers found that it is at the age of 23 that a person experiences a sharp surge of happiness - he is young and lives in the expectation of the best, he has many plans for the future and excellent health.

Those who are one year old up to seventy are already happy in their own way - they look back and realize that they lived their lives with dignity. At this age, people already know how not to regret missed opportunities and do not torment themselves with memories of mistakes made.

The most unfortunate, according to the results of the study, were those who had recently turned 50. They, as Professor Hannes Schwandt of Princeton University noted, have not yet come to terms with the fact that they are aging and the new age drives many into depression. The scientist advises not to torture yourself and "come to terms with reality."

Paradoxical is the fact that the more difficult the times in which a person was born, the more happy he feels in old age. Thus, people whose childhood passed during the years of war or famine spend their mature years in a full sense of happiness.

Recently, Australian scientists have deduced "their" formula for happiness, which does not depend on age. The formula consists of three components: money, arranged personal life, social activity.

According to Professor Robert Kamins of Deakin University, the amount of money needed to be happy depends on having children and where you live. But in the end, the scientist deduced a figure reaching up to $100,000 a year.

As for personal life, according to experts, mutual love is more important than money, because it gives a feeling of "rear" and well-being.

And finally, the third component of happiness is social activity. According to scientists, it is especially important to combine activities in society and the presence of social contacts, as well as a comfortable and favorable environment in the team.

At the same time, oddly enough, health does not fit into this formula. If a person does not have serious health problems, then even, for example, being overweight will not prevent him from being happy.

It became so popular that I involuntarily had a desire to write exactly the same, but for those who are now 20 years old.

I remember myself at 20. It was the fourth year of the Institute. I just went to work in a bank with a salary of 60 dollars. I would not even think about looking for a job at the institute, but my girlfriend at that time, and now my wife, said that it was time to start looking for a job. And, of course, she was right.

But just a few months before that, my life looked like this ...

I woke up early in the morning in the hostel on an alarm clock with my girlfriend. She was going to couples at the institute, and I made her morning tea. I needed a second pair, so I was in no hurry. Then my friend Vlad came from home. Since the time was early and we didn’t want to have a couple at all, we turned on the Enigma album and slept safely until the third or even fourth couple. Then they woke up and went to the institute, which was only 200 meters from the hostel.

At the institute, in the fourth year, we played the fool. Nobody did their homework. In couples, we sat on our phones.

The main hobby was watching movies in the evening with friends in the hostel or constant races in Need for speed. We are also in Far Cry, Mafia, GTA and a bunch of other games.

Writing dissertations, essays and printing cheat sheets gave good pocket money.

Life seemed carefree and fun.

Then there was the fifth year, a few more of my classmates went to work, and the rest continued to just have fun.

What happened to me in 10 years?

• Starting a career in a bank; transfer to another bank where they paid more; promotion offer after just a week of work; an offer to move from Kharkov to Kyiv after six months of work, moving to Kyiv; another promotion a year later, then another six months later, and another one a year later; unexpected contraction.
• HR Director position at 24.
• Buying an apartment on credit in dollars, difficult 2008, difficult 2014. Each time the dollar exchange rate grew by 1.5 times.
• Buying a car on credit, paying off a loan, buying a car for a wife.
• Birth of a child.
• The first trip to Turkey for the first bonus, then a trip to Egypt for my birthday, then, after a long pause, a trip to Tunisia.
• About 100 and daily work on yourself to eliminate all your psychological limitations, self-doubt.
• Development of personal qualities - communication, persuasion, public speaking, time management.
• Professional growth. Although I was asked to write my first article for the Computer Review magazine in 2006, it took eight years to learn how to write really interesting things so that articles would be republished by other publications, and I began to be invited as a speaker to all key HR conferences.
• Entering the TOP-20 best HR directors in Ukraine at the age of 30.

What do I want to advise those who are now 20 years old?

To make their life truly successful, because in 10 years you can achieve truly high results.

1. Choose a career in which you want to fulfill yourself

I am sure that 9 out of 10 of your friends do not know what kind of career they will build. They think they will do it sometime in the future, but they never will. They will eventually find themselves incompetent and earn little.

Why do I insist that you should start building a career now? Yes, because you are laying the foundation. Either your career will develop in the same way as the careers of 94% of all people, and by retirement you will be earning $2,000-3,000 at best, or you will build a brilliant career with an income of up to $50,000 per month (the average income of a CEO large company).

Here is a chart that shows how many dollars you can earn per month with Career Control (upper chart) and without Career Control (lower):

This means that in your lifetime you will earn 10 times more, or $12,000,000 more. Even if you spend half of the extra money you earn on a comfortable life, then with $6,000,000 you can buy yourself a cool house, a cool car, provide a decent old age for your parents, educate your children and take care of your health even in old age.

That is why I am not talking about saving money. You need to build a career, and the money will come by itself.

How to choose a dream job?

Analyze the following four career areas:

• What do you love to do the most?
• What do you do better than others?
• In what profession is your knowledge in demand?
• What professions have a good income?

To make a list of what you like to do, fill in the table:

You can fill in the list of your skills and talents in this table:

The list of professions that are well paid, and the list of professions that use your knowledge, you can make yourself.

Now fill in the table, for this, in the “Case” line, write down all the positions that you have chosen, and in the subsequent columns write down the numbers from 1 to 10, where 10 means that the selected position corresponds to the column heading as closely as possible.

Then compare the points in the "TOTAL" column and choose the position that scored the maximum number of points. Build a career in it.

2. Do not chase wages, but constantly strive to increase it

When choosing a job, never rely on the salary offered. Look further - what are the career prospects in this company, how much does the company pay in comparison with the market.

For you, the potential of the company now should be much more important than momentary wages.

It is much more important for you to gain knowledge, experience and a good leader than a quick income. Give preference to large companies with more than 2,000 employees, preferably with foreign capital.

This company must have a very good reputation, and its top manager must be included in the list of the TOP-100 most successful managers.

At your age, you can afford to find such a company.

But as soon as you find a job - apply all my advice from the article "".

3. Create a detailed vision of yourself at 30 and follow it

This is the most amazing advice. Once, at the age of 16, I read Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. I lived in Kharkov and studied at the Lyceum. There, one of the exercises was to write a vision of yourself in 20 years. Then I wrote that I want to live in Kyiv, have my own apartment, car, director position and family. I could not even imagine then that all this would come true in just 14 years.

So let's now write your vision in 10 years.

To do this, in each line, describe how you imagine your life in each of the areas in 10 years. There must be specific measurable things.

Review your vision every year and make adjustments.

4. Spend a lot of money and time on your education

At the age of 20, it seems that studying at trainings, reading professional books is expensive. But if you do not develop yourself, then you will pay a much greater price for your ignorance. So here is your plan for the next 10 years:

• 1 professional (best) conference per year.
• 1 personal development training per year (negotiations, public speaking, time management).
• 2 specialized inexpensive events per year.
• 1 book per month on a professional or business topic, I highly recommend reading:
  ♦ Tony Shay "Delivering Happiness";
  ♦ Sam Walton "Made in America";
  ♦ Lee Iacocca "Career Manager";
  ♦ Walter Isaacson "Steve Jobs";
  ♦ Howard Schultz "Pour Your Heart Into Her";
  ♦ Richard Branson "Losing my virginity";
  ♦ Max Kotin "Nerds Do Business" « Chichvarkin E ... a genius. If out of 100 times you are sent 99 ";
  ♦ ;
  ♦ ;
  ♦ Jack Canfield Chicken Soup for the Soul.
• 1 fiction or motivational book in two months, if you haven't read it yet, be sure to read:
  ♦ Jack London "Martin Eden", "Time Doesn't Wait";
  ♦ Theodore Dreiser "The Financier", "Titan", "Stoic";
  ♦ Erich Maria Remarque "Three Comrades";
  ♦ Benvenuto Cellini "Notes of Benvenuto Cellini, Florentine goldsmith and sculptor";
  ♦ Philip Stanhope Chesterfield Letters to a Son.
• 1 audiobook or audio course per quarter.
• 1 profile magazine in six months.
• Once every 2 weeks, go to different evening meetings, meetings on professional and business topics. Participation usually costs from 10 to 30 dollars.

5. Go in for sports, only it will help you overcome the most difficult trials

I started playing sports in the third grade. Went to athletics, then dropped out. In eighth grade, I went to the gym for the first time. I walked five days a week for 1.5 hours and even achieved good strength results, although I did not gain mass due to the fact that I was spending a lot of calories, but ate as usual. Then I went to the ninth grade for about six months and also quit for the same reason - there was no visible result. There were also attempts to study at home on the horizontal bar and at the institute.

After graduation, I didn't go in for sports. For 10 years, I gained 16 kilograms of weight, mostly fat. Then I went to the gym, but this time I read a lot of articles and tips and changed my diet. I finally scored and visually became more.

But this is nonsense compared to my discovery: I have become much more resilient, more self-confident, more persistent, more creative and able-bodied. I can safely say that I provided a serious breakthrough in my life. It was thanks to him that I rather calmly endured the crisis in 2014, while in 2008 it was very difficult for me. And it's not that this is the second crisis in my life, but the hall really helped me.

6. Find a wife/husband, then your standards will be too high

This must be done for a number of reasons. Indeed, the older we get, the more pragmatic we are. We are no longer ready to put up with shortcomings and we know our worth. A guy, like a girl, after 25 is hard to find a partner and get married.

Meanwhile, the family is a very strong incentive for the development and living a more conscious life.

7. Travel while there are no children

Of course, there are exceptions, but the typical family is not very comfortable. But there are so many interesting countries where you can go while you are young and you have no children, or you will go there when your children become adults, -, ...

In addition, travel is a powerful way to develop horizons. When you see a fundamentally different life, you start to think differently. Don't visit the same countries. Change geography often. Don't think that travel is expensive. Sometimes it is even cheaper than a trip to the Crimea.

8. Treat yourself with gifts

While you're young, you'll be happy with a brand new iPhone, a fitness band, a new Macbook, the latest Adidas sneakers, and more. It is foolish to deny yourself all this, because then you will no longer be interested in it. Do not save - think about how to make money on it.

9. Take an apartment on credit

Yes, I am anti-credit. I think mortgages are evil. But you have no other way to get your home by the age of 30, except with a loan. Sometimes a loan is more profitable than renting a house. But remember, you must fulfill the following conditions:

• The payment must not exceed 35% of family income (meaning that when one of you loses his job, the loan will be 70% of the other's income, if you earned the same).
• Set aside a monthly amount equal to the loan payment for a whole year - you will test yourself and collect an advance.
• Take a loan only in national currency. Savings on interest from a foreign currency loan will always be eaten away by the growth of the exchange rate. And the national currency is subject to inflation of about 10% annually, and it works for you.
• Get your mortgage tax credit back. This is 15% of the amount of interest paid. How? Find out from familiar lawyers, it's really simple.
• If you can, instead of a bank loan, take an installment plan from the developer: he usually does not charge interest for using the loan.
• Having issued a loan, collect a deposit in the amount of six monthly loan payments in case of a crisis.
• Can't pay? Go to the bank and demand a temporary simplification of the terms of the loan payment - do not get into debt with relatives or in another bank.

10. Buy a car

You will save a lot of time if you have a car. Your car can become a place where you will listen. I bought a car at 23. In it, I listened to about 50 audiobooks and trainings. Sometimes my audiobooks were the only salvation during the difficult turns of my career.

Now a car is not so expensive. A good, solid Smart can already be found for $4,500. It will last you five years. It is economical and does not require capital investment. And you can already collect for it with a salary of $ 1,000 per month.

11. Make new acquaintances and friends

At 30, you realize that your best friends are those with whom you met before 25. Then.

But you can make not friends, but interesting acquaintances. Over time, you begin to understand how cool it is when you have unusual and interesting people as friends. With their help, you can solve your problems, develop, find new ways to solve problems.

How to find such people? Just pay attention to those who have succeeded more than others in their careers. Let me give you a small example of interesting people I have met in the last month:

• An artist who draws sketches during a speaker's speech at a conference. He also draws animated sales videos.
• Chairman of OSMD (association of owners of an apartment building).
• Energy Efficiency Manager.
• Director of a recruiting agency.
• Leader of the youth organization
• Director of the language school.

Imagine how many different useful tips and recommendations I can get from these people. In turn, I can be very helpful to them.

12. Have a baby at 26

Before - too early for a career, later - it will be hard. I think this is the perfect age.

And it's not that hard:

• State aid is really good.
• Maternity and sick leave amount to approximately five salaries.
• It is already possible to find an adequate nanny in our time.
• A nanny's pay is cheaper than the salary of a person who is building a career.
• All other expenses for the child: food, toys, clothes - harmoniously fall into the family budget and find their place there.

13. Keep a list of your accomplishments

First, the very fact of having achievements in life increases the level of happiness of a person.

Martin Seligman, an American psychologist and founder of positive psychology, identified five components of happiness:

• Positive emotions (about them below).
• Engagement is when you build a career you love and use your talents.
• Relationships - about them was advice number 11.
• Understanding the meaning of life (next tip).
• Achievement - the presence of success in life.

Keep a diary of achievements, and you yourself will be surprised how positively it affects you.

14. Pay Attention to Your Philosophy

Usually between the ages of 20 and 30, people begin to think about their purpose and. Everyone follows their own unique path, and it will not work here to give universal advice. But usually it happens like this: you begin to be interested in questions of psychology, philosophy, religion, and some topics, or trends, or teachings attract your attention.

15. Look for positive emotions

I would like to end on a positive note, so this advice is in last place, but it is not the last in importance.

Positive emotions are generally the meaning of our life. But, oddly enough, they can be controlled.

Fill in the table. Look for more encounters with the first column and avoid the second.

Here you can include people, places you visit, activities you do, and so on.

I can say that I was lucky to find these tips for myself and follow them between my 20s and 30s.

The main thing that I remember is that if you really want something very much and constantly move towards it, despite all the failures, you will achieve it. Now my creed is the phrase:

If you want to be good at something, dedicate 10,000 hours to it.

I have a new goal: I want to be CEO by the age of 35, and I dedicate my time to this issue. This article is my 3 hours out of 10,000 hours, because I believe that the ability to develop other people is one of the main hallmarks of SEO.

Good luck for the next 10 years!

Once again, how old am I?!

1. 23 years old - to be at the bottom of the "twenty-something".

Start from scratch

21 years old is a beta version of youth, at 22 there is a mess in my head, 23 is the time when some kind of responsibility appears ...

2. You hope to sort things out, but you don't have the tools or resources to do so.

Less hope, less hope...

Expand your professional circle? How is this to be understood?

3. You have a million options for what to do with your life, but none of them looks really attractive.

I'm not very good at making decisions.

Apply for a job? Travel? No money?

4. If you still do not know how to get insurance and where to go with it, keep in mind that you have less and less time to acquire this knowledge and make appropriate decisions every day. And getting sick without insurance is very expensive.

It seems your lungs have turned black.

It is better to write down a schedule of illnesses for the near future in order to get the most out of insurance.

5. For the first time in my twenties, it becomes scary.

Think of everything you wanted to do at university. Everything, this time will never happen again. What you have done is yours...

6. When you're 23, it means you're older than many of today's pop stars.

7. You have become so distant from teenagers that you can no longer communicate in their language.

What does it mean?

I don't understand your youth slang, slow down please.

8. Seriously, if you tell your age to someone from the youth, the opponent will look at you as the oldest person on the planet.

Oh God, have you seen dinosaurs?

I'm not that old...or so? Is it really that old?

9. You have nothing to look forward to on your 23rd birthday. You took life...

10. And everyone around starts pestering you with this song:

Nobody loves you at 23.

And this is the very time when she left me ...

11. In fact, 23 is the cause of all your problems.

How old am I?

12. It’s not for nothing that Jim Carrey called his film so strangely ...

Is there a way to avoid the 23rd birthday? I have been developing a corresponding plan for a year now.

13. At least you can be proud that you are the youngest in the office.

Picture: you and your boss.

14. You are still surprised by how old your colleagues are - it pleases.

Are you THAT old?

15. At 23, many meet their wives and husbands.

True, the statistics are frightening.

16. Therefore, you need to seriously think about starting dating.

Don't want to date me?

Please!

But I will remember it!

You're wrong.

I hate you!

At the university, the difference of three years seemed insignificant. But now you're wondering if it's worth dating 20-year-olds?

17. You don’t want to blush with your soulmate, having caught the eye of a teacher ...

You've been through all this before. Enough.

18. But dates with older people are also alarming ...

Hi, I wanted to invite you, but then I realized how stupid it would look ...

You are 30 and you have your own business. What do I have? And I pumped the next level in Fruit Ninja ...

19. Fitting into adulthood at 23 is especially difficult if you're still a student.

20. But regardless of whether you study or not, work or not - you are 23 and more responsibility than now, you have never been assigned.

Did I feed my pet?

21. And you understand that it is time to stop acting like a child ...

I am an adult.

(Don't take it literally - do what you want, it's your life).

22. …even though you're really just a beta adult.

23. Well, hello to all 23 year olds! The first year of your adult life has begun!
