The importance of support. 15 rules of a life from Dalai Lama
8:34 PMHey guys!
Havent seen you for about a week! I had exams and that took quite much of my time but at the moment I'm slightly more free and can finally post something.
I want to talk about the important role of a support in the internet bloggers life.
This is almost the main thing in this process. When you're doing something and post something you hope you're not the only one and really want to get some answer to things you're doing. When you write a review you would love to get comments or likes/shares cause it shows you're doing it not just for yourself. You want to share your experience with others.
I'm russian and live in a small country in Central Asia but I have an english blog and do not post in russian. Some of you can ask me why. And here's the answer. In the post-soviet area people do not really like others to become successful and some of they dont want to share that experience for free. So in their opinion blogging is a wasting of time cause there is a tiny percent of bloggers who can become successful/famous/well known. They always say to stop it. If you post and in some time become well-known they think they are losers. If you do not achieve anything they become happy. Not everyone like this but it still exists. Also when you post something you will always get some negative comments or reviews. Yes, this is a part of sharing, critics are always here and not everybody can like you or things you're doing. I can accept this but instead of writing it in a key 'just stop, its awful' probably these critics can give some fine advice like 'you should work a bit on your technique here and here, add some shades here and replace one product with the other'. This will stimulate to grow and do not make your mood grumpy for the day. Its not that difficult to be nice. I'm writing this cause I had some negative comments and it was not surprising that I got them from russian people but that was weird to get them from a man. I mean - what can you know about makeup if you're general straight man that doesn't know how those things are even called? All they ask is to show boobs. Why? What for? If you want to say only this - just dont say anything, keep silence. I understand that there is a bunch of work to get proper skills of makeup artist but i'm learning everything on my own and it takes time.
Please support each other, be communicative, helpful and nice, especially with those who had just started.
And now its enough for a bad part and lets move to a good one^^
I've read Dalai Lama not so long ago and he has amazing words - 15 rules of a life, which I think fit great not even all people in common but our community of beauty bloggers in internet particularly.
1. Notice that a big love and a big success are always connected to a big risk.
2. When you lose you wont lose your accumulated experience.
3. Remember that things you want are not always things you really need.
4. Learn some rules just to know how to break them.
5. If you've made a mistake do something to fix it immediately.
6. Sometimes you should listen to yourself, being alone.
7. Fell yourself free but do not break the boundaries.
8. Remember that sometimes silence is a best answer.
9. Live a decent life so that in your old ages you'd have something to remember.
10. Atmosphere of love is a base of your life.
11. In disputes do not remind people about the past, talk about present.
12. Share your knowledge. This is the key to immortality.
13. Once a year go to a place you've never been before.
14. The best relationships are those when each half of a couple remembers of the other one.
15. Sometimes you should abandon something to get it.

These are such good points! I also found it interesting how people in your country view bloggers and think that it's a "waste of time". Props to you for doing it anyway! Here in the US, some people may not understand the point in blogging, but there are also a ton of people who support bloggers. Way to stay positive though, and continue doing what you love!!
