Указ Петра I от 9 декабря 1708 год
Для искушенных в психологии ответ на иронию, намеки, непонятные требования и т.д. (по работе):
"Для меня это слишком мудрено. Мне знакомы три типа мышления: наглядно-действенный, конкретно-образный и абстрактно-логический. С каждым из низ я знакома в какой-то степени. Но Вы владеете каким-то четвертым - более высоким - надлогическим уровнем мышления, который мне не понятен".
Человек "зависает" надолго.
Фраза взята у Литвака "Принцип сперматозоида".
Rub your eyes and look around,
Litter lying on the ground,
Bottles, cans and polythene-
Take the tip and change to green!
Forests going up in smoke,
Cities fit to make you choke,
Nowhere left to be that’s clean-
Take a breath and change to green!
Animals and plants have died,
People starve to feed our pride,
For the life that might have been
Take a stand and change to green!
There’s so much that isn’t right,
It could get you well uptight,
So make a start and change the scene-
The lights are flashing – change to green!
