Vassili Zaitsev (1915–1991)
Auteur de Notes of a Russian Sniper
A propos de l'auteur
When Vassili Zaitsev arrived in Stalingrad in October 1942 the average life expectancy of a Red Army soldier was only 24 hours. This figure improved gradually during the battle, partly due to the success of a determined group of snipers, the greatest of whom was Zaitsev. He was also one of the afficher plus lucky ones: he fought at Stalingrad and lived to tell his tale. Zaitsev provides an outstanding account of the true savagery of the fighting - the terrifying brutality and desperation of the soldiers on both sides and the horrific scale of the dead and wounded. Notes of a Russian Sniper is considered the best account from a soldier who fought in the battle and is a classic of war literature. afficher moins

Do not get bigheaded over your accomplishments. Let them speak for themselves in your appraisal reviews with those around you. Focus on doing better each time giving two percent better attention to each step of the task. Let not Thine own mouth praise thee, but the lips of a stranger. This proverb reminded me also that your accomplishments should be spoken of by other people and not you yourself.
Be humble and quiet and simple in your habits. When it is time for you to showcase your talent then it will be that time. Live a simple life dedicated to the pursuits you love and one day appreciation will come for all that you have achieved in your life. Remember the race isn’t given to the swift. It is given to those who take their time and work steadily on accomplishing their dreams and goals through careful goal setting and taking action in making their dreams a reality.

Make their lives easier by listening to what they want or require. They know best! Truly! Stop listening to your haters and listen to those who love, value, and appreciate you. Be committed to having a strong bond and relationship with your parents. They are important. Love them through your obedience and one day you will be richly rewarded.… (plus d'informations)
