The second most important part of your morning ritual is your mood. That same sense of control breeds grit and resilience, which makes you persevere.

“Comparative studies of students of equal ability have shown that the distinguishing feature between those who maintain a strong work ethic and those who give up is a sense of control. Those who maintained a sense of control over the situation received significantly higher ratings.”

You've set goals, are in control, and are ready to get to work. Great! I recommend you hide somewhere, and here's why...

2. Important work tasks - first and without any distractions

Many people, arriving at the office, instantly become immersed in dozens of unread emails and meetings, leaving the really important work at the end of the day... A fatal mistake.

As studies show, the first 2.5 - 4 hours after waking up is the peak period of brain function. Do you really want to waste this time on conference calls and meetings?

Research shows that alertness and memory, clarity of mind and ability to learn vary between 15-30% throughout the day. For many of us, peak brain function occurs in the first 2-2.5 hours after waking up.

When I interviewed willpower expert Roy Baumeister, he said that early morning is also the time when we are most disciplined.

“The longer people stay awake, the more problems they have with self-control. The greatest number of things go downhill is in the evening. Diets are disrupted by evening snacks rather than breakfasts or snacks earlier in the day. Impulsive crimes are most often committed after midnight.”

Is this really true? Research into the work of geniuses has shown that they made their best discoveries early in the day.

“But why do you say that I need to hide somewhere?”

Because distractions make you stupid. These days, it's often difficult to get truly important work done while sitting in an office.

You've taken a break, reviewed your goals and achievements, and now you're ready to get back to work. What should you focus on now?

4. Meetings, calls and meetings in the afternoon

When your energy level is high, you want to focus on creative, labor-intensive work. When energy is low, engage in routine work.

Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic book series, draws comics in the morning. By midday his brain gets tired and he changes his goals.

“One of the most important tricks to maximizing productivity involves matching your mental state to the task at hand... At 6 a.m. I'm a creator, and by 2 p.m. I'm a copyist... It's the perfect balance between my energy level and the task at hand.”

And research shows that the afternoon is indeed the ideal time for meetings, especially around 3 p.m.

Do you need to do routine work, but lack the willpower? This is when distractions will work in your favor.

When a task is simple and you tend to get distracted, friends can help you become more productive without even contributing to the work.

“The simple presence of a friend can push you to be more productive. “There is a concept in the treatment of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) called a body backup,” says Dr. David Nowell, a clinical neurophysiologist in Worcester, Massachusetts. “Easily distracted people are able to complete more tasks in the presence of another person, even if that person does not guide or help them.” If you're faced with a boring or difficult task, like cleaning out a closet or collecting tax paperwork, call a friend to be your body backup."

The working day has come to an end. There is an optimal way to end the day.

5. Relaxing evening

Even though successful people spend many hours on tasks, they leave the evenings free to recharge.

After this, go to bed.

You will not be able to sleep enough and avoid negative consequences.

What does brain research say about reducing sleep time? You're actually making yourself a dumber person:

Key idea: Reduced sleep leads to decreased mental performance. Lack of adequate sleep “cripples” thinking abilities in every way that brain activity can be measured. Lack of sleep harms executive functioning, attention, short-term memory, working memory, mood, quantitative skills, logical reasoning, and overall math ability.

Summarize

This is what the daily routine of a successful person looks like:

Morning ritual

Important work moments - first and foremost, without any distractions

Regroup when you start to slow down

Meetings, calls and meetings in the afternoon

Relaxing evening

Unfortunately, we are not always able to clearly define our schedule, so I left out the exact time under each item.

But we can all control the order in which we complete tasks. Stop focusing on completing a variety of tasks just to create the appearance of progress.

Every part of your day is different, just as your tasks are different in importance.

The key to everything is knowing when is the best time to complete a particular task.

How will this schedule help you?

At the end of the day, you may still find that you haven't completed all your planned tasks. However, this will no longer bother you, because you have completed the really important tasks and completed them efficiently.

Briefly about the article: He is the most famous superhero of all time. His biography can be studied from comics, films and computer games, but sometimes they directly contradict each other. However, they agree on something: he wears a tight blue tights and does good for ideological reasons. Details are on our pages.

THE LAST SON OF KRYPTON

Superman

What happens to superheroes after they grow old? Have you ever thought about this? Here, the phone rings at home: “Hello, the world is about to be destroyed, we need your help.” And you answer them: “Sorry, I’m already retired.” And if I had x-ray vision in my youth, will it deteriorate with age, and I will only be able to see through very thin things? So, what?

Earthworm Jim (hero of the animated series of the same name)

Who is a real superhero? A stern paratrooper who can easily bite a rail with his teeth? A local policeman shielding a child from bullets? Taking a kitten from a tree and moving a grandmother across the street is all routine and prosaic life. In order for the prefix “super” to be applied to a hero, he needs to perform feats and miracles almost every day. The daily routine of a superhero looks something like this: uncover a government conspiracy as a morning warm-up, stop global warming for lunch, and in the evening save the whole world, drink a glass of warm milk and fall asleep in front of the TV.

There were no superheroes before 1938. They simply didn't exist. Sherlock Holmes, Zorro and Tarzan were specialists of a narrow profile. They differed from ordinary people in their solid knowledge, excellent combat skills and courage - a combination of qualities, albeit rare, but not unique. The dizzying scale of the twentieth century required a different hero - fantastic and omnipotent.

From villain to Moses

In 1933 the writer Jerry Siegel(1914-1996), emigrated to the USA from Lithuania, and Canadian artist Joe Shuster(1914-1992), whose mother was from Kyiv, created the first illustrated story about Superman. They worked for a little-known Science Fiction magazine, where their story "The Reign of Superman" was published.

The "alpha version" of their Superman turned out to be extremely unsuccessful. Take a look at Schuster's black and white sketch. The bald maniac with a villainous grin was not successful, so the authors radically reworked his image and began to offer publishers another Superman - a handsome, muscular man, a fanatical fighter against evil.

For a long time, no one agreed to publish stories about a guy who, strictly speaking, was a more optimistic copy of Hugo Danner (the hero of the novel Gladiator, 1930). He received his superpowers due to a chemical experiment, was very burdened by this and eventually died without finding a suitable occupation for himself. But in 1938 the young company DC Comics decided to take a risk and placed Superman in the first, June issue of the legendary magazine Action Comics.

The success was simply deafening. Siegel and Shuster, without knowing it, became the architects of a unique genre and created such a vivid image of the superman that other authors could only imitate them, inventing their own super-characters.

What are the main "components" of a superhero? First of all, these are, of course, extraordinary abilities, or skills so trained that they can, in fact, be considered superhuman. A “legend” is also required - a backstory explaining the origin of incredible skills.

A superhero also needs a strong moral core, for example, a heightened sense of responsibility (Spider-Man) or personal scores with enemies (Batman). He must have a “second self” - a ceremonial guise, under which he can calmly walk the streets. A bright suit, a special weapon, a faithful friend who must be periodically pulled out from the clutches of maniacs, a devoted comrade-in-arms, a well-equipped shelter - without all this, even the kindest and most powerful mutant will not be able to call himself a superhero.

Siegel and Shuster repeatedly sued the publisher because the company paid them too little for the rights to such a profitable hero. The legal war was long and ugly - the authors' names disappeared from the covers, and in response they began to speak unflatteringly about their former employers. In 1948, the authors were awarded 200 thousand dollars, and in 1978 they were paid an annual pension of 35 thousand dollars. Fortunately, the squabbles ended there, and the Siegel-Schuster tandem again began to be mentioned on Superman-related products.

"Kryptos" means "secret"

Unfortunately, there is no official biography of Superman. This is true of all more or less famous comic book heroes - over time they change, “evolve”. In each new series of “graphic novels,” new abilities are retroactively assigned to them, their legend and even their appearance changes.

The world's first superhero is not American or even human. His name is Kal-El. He was born on Krypton, a planet inhabited by a progressive humanoid race. Superman's father, Jor-El, was a prominent scientist who was able to predict the imminent death of the Kryptonian civilization. The Kindred were skeptical of this forecast, so Jor-El had no choice but to construct a rocket and send his son to Earth.

Krypton, as expected, exploded, and young Kal-El landed safely on US soil during the First World War. The abandoned child was discovered by mechanic Jonathan Kent and his wife Martha. Compassionate Americans decided to adopt the foundling, giving him the name Clark.

He spent his childhood on a farm near the town of Smallville, gradually discovering one or another superpower (primarily incredible physical strength and resistance to damage). After the death of his parents, Clark Kent decided to move to the city of Metropolis. There he was able to get a job as a reporter for the Daily Star newspaper (later renamed the Daily Planet to avoid overlap with the name of the real newspaper Toronto Daily Star), where he met the love of his life - journalist Louis Lane.

According to another, later version, Clark's adoptive parents sold the farm, bought a store in Smallville and began training the child, developing alien superpowers in him. During the “extended” period of adolescence, our hero performed exploits under the guise of Superboy, an inexperienced and slightly comical character.

Using his job as a cover, Clark began donning tight blue tights and doing good for ideological reasons. Almost immediately, he had a problem that became typical for many subsequent superheroes - Louis Lane "fell" on Superman, and Kent, playing the role of a quiet, intelligent journalist, had to suffer, hiding his true nature from her.

By the 1940s, comic book Superman had become even more “super.” He was endowed with the ability not only to lift cars or jump several hundred meters, but also to fly through the air, putting his hand forward with a clenched fist. He also learned about his alien origin and miraculously “remembered” a whole layer of Kryptonian culture (from language to the history of this planet).

In the 1960s, another Kal-El appeared. He lived on Earth-2 (in a parallel universe) and performed feats that had nothing to do with the history of his former “colleague”. This maneuver allowed DC Comics to develop an alternative storyline and slightly revive the boring twenty-year-old hero. For example, in one issue, Clark married Louis Lane and became the editor of the Daily Planet, and in another comic, another “rescue” Kryptonian rocket landed on Earth, with Superman’s cousin Kara Zor-El (aka Linda Lee, aka Supergirl) on board.

Stop sunbathing, the world is in danger!

Superman is kind of like a Swiss army knife - he can do anything and then some. His abilities in the first comics were described as follows: “Faster than a bullet, stronger than a locomotive, can jump on the highest building.” As the character matured, his skills gradually increased. But, having reached an almost divine level by the 1980s, they began to decline.

The secret of its power lies in the special biology of the Kryptonian race, the low level of earth's gravity and, most importantly, exposure to the yellow light of our Sun (Krypton's star was red and did not provide a “superhero” effect). In some stories, Superman could stand under the rays of the Sun for several minutes and be “in good shape” for several weeks; in others, he had to accumulate energy for a long time - the complexity of the miracles he performed depended on the number of “sunbathings”.

Force...

Invulnerability Superman ranged from "only an artillery shell can pierce his skin" (1940) to "he can fly right through a star and not even notice a nuclear explosion" (1980). Several explanations for such survivability have been proposed - the super-dense molecular structure of the body or a special bioelectric aura that creates a protective field (in some comics, Superman could increase its radius of action and cover a large area with this field).

Endurance Kal-Ela has almost no limitations. The man in the blue tights is able to withstand any physical activity, taking breaks to eat, drink and sleep (he can suppress these needs, but for purely psychological reasons he prefers to behave like a person).

Accelerated cell regeneration suggests that Clark Kent is not just invulnerable, but immortal. However, for added variety, in the comics he is shown aging, or rather, growing up (from Superboy to Superman). He needs air, although in most stories our hero was able to hold his breath for a long time - from several hours to a couple of weeks, and the latter allowed him to fly into space.

X-ray vision- a feature that allows you to see through any obstacles (instantly or layer by layer), except for lead. His enemies take advantage of this by setting up shelters behind lead walls, but in some stories such a trick had the opposite effect - Superman scanned the area, noticed a single “blind spot” and easily revealed this disguise.

Telescopic vision allows Superman to discern even the smallest details over vast distances, and, conversely, to admire microbes with the naked eye. Like the Predator, he can see in all spectrums, including infrared and ultraviolet, allowing him to operate equally effectively during the day and at night.

Kal-El is also capable of “shooting with his eyes,” namely, producing powerful heat rays(in 1950s comics they were called "thermal X-rays"). The intensity of the impact can vary from pinpoint surgical injections to a terrible wave shock with the temperature of a nuclear explosion.

In the middle of the last century, Superman was hypnotist. It is characteristic that he knew how not only to subjugate people to his will, but also to influence photo and video cameras, “inspiring” them that he was not a muscular athlete with an unruly lock of black hair on his forehead, but a frail, bespectacled journalist.

Co hearing Kal-El is fine. He is able to hear everything, at any frequency and distance. Voice He also has a wonderful one - our hero, if desired, can imitate any speech and transmit it over a huge distance, which, in combination with ultra-thin hearing, allows him to communicate with people on other continents.

About flight ability You don’t even have to mention it - it exists, and that’s it. There are no restrictions on speed, range or weight of the load carried. Since the 1950s, Superman has learned to fly faster than light and use it to turn back time.

Fresh breath? Yes. There are two options to choose from - blow out a hurricane or breathe an icy breeze on your enemies.

Physical strength Superman is considered the highest among all other super-beings. Its boundaries have not been precisely established, but it is only known that it can lift any object, and in some cases is capable of moving the Earth from orbit.

Originally, all Kryptonians were considered geniuses. However, subsequently powerful intellect Superman began to be explained by the same influence of the yellow Sun. He boasts absolute memory, an incalculable IQ, knowledge of every conceivable language (including alien ones), as well as incredible scientific talents.

Unlike his good friend Batman, Superman doesn't rely too much on high-tech "gadgets." He has his own shelter - Secluded Fortress, grown from a special Kryptonian crystal. Superman sometimes uses android robots and also wears a lead suit to protect himself from kryptonite. His blue tights were sewn by his adoptive mother from a blanket found in the rocket. Like all Kryptonian things, under the yellow Sun it acquired the prefix “super-”. These clothes never tear or burn, allowing Superman to maintain a decent appearance in the most difficult conditions.

...And weaknesses

Superman is genetically incompatible with humans - he cannot donate blood or organs for transplantation, and is not able to conceive a child from a human woman. All his abilities have a “scientific” basis, which is why in some comics our hero turned out to be very vulnerable to magic and telepathy.

The Achilles heel of "Man of Steel" is sensitivity to radioactive radiation from fragments of his exploded planet. This substance was named kryptonite. It is also dangerous for ordinary people, although to a lesser extent (with prolonged contact it provokes cancerous tumors). Some comic book authors tried to “register” it in the periodic table under number 126 and argued that the half-life of kryptonite is equal to a quarter of a million years.

Green kryptonite causes Superman severe pain and kills him after a while. Impact effect red kryptonite unpredictable - on different occasions Superman turned into a dwarf, stopped seeing green things, lost invulnerability on the left half of his body, and became covered with long hair. Golden kryptonite deprives Superman of his abilities (however, he always managed to find an “antidote”). White kryptonite lethal to plants. X-Kryptonite does not affect Kryptonians, but gives superpowers to earthlings. Diamond Kryptonite allows the inhabitants of the “Phantom Zone” (a prison for Kryptonian criminals) to influence our world. There are other types of kryptonite.

* * *

This is just the most basic thing that can be said about Superman. There are still a lot of interesting things left - his friends, enemies (primarily Lex Luthor), dizzying adventures.

At the end of July, after a 23-year break, a new film about the legendary refugee from Krypton is being released. The film's budget is off the charts at $200 million (for comparison, all three Lord of the Rings cost about $300 million).

Company Warner Bros. has already announced preparations for filming the next film. Its release is scheduled for the summer of 2009, so we can say with complete confidence that Superman has indeed returned. This gives us a good reason to dedicate several more articles to him and tell them about everything that is not included in this material.
