1.Prologue
Preface
I have a son. He is 26 years old now.
When I send him a message about very IMHO important reading, his usual answer is: TLTR – too long to read.
Therefore, first, if I want to be readable for young generation I must be brief.
Second, we all live in the world full of vacuum cleaners and dishwashers.
Therefore, good book must be as clear as an instruction for dishwasher (or vacuum cleaner, if you please).
Third, it must be new. Not as new as a newborn child, because a very new child is born on the planet every second, but as new as a good effective drug for illness
not curable before.
Fourth, it must be useful for everybody who is smart enough, useful for everyday life, like a teaspoon. Are you smart enough for a teaspoon to use?
So, let us begin.

Practical recommendations
Usually, whenever I lecture this stuff, I draw on the flipchart and explain the drawing step by step. Then I record video and load it on Internet. You can find my video-lectures (most in Russian) at [битая ссылка] my channel. After that I write it down as a text, make pictures and load as html-pages [битая ссылка] on my site. Pictures at the site show drawings step by step. However, in the book I place only final drawing. That’s why I strongly recommend you, whatever chapter you read, find the final drawing, copy it by pencil at your copy-book, and, while reading the text, mark over step by step new details by pen. Otherwise, I suppose it will be hard for you to understand my message completely.
Disclaimer
Is it possible at all – to answer so many hard questions in so thin book like that? Is it a fraud of some kind? No, it is not.
First, the answers we will see are not the only possible ones. You can find other versions from other authors.
Second, to make some answer working in your personal case, probably additional investigation may be needed. This investigation could be hard to do. So, probably, the life is not so easy as it means to be.
Third, you can find some parameters I have missed. Anyway, let us be friends and cooperate on the subject for common good.
2.Minor models
We need instruments
One apple up on top!
Two apples up on top!
Look, you,
I can do it too.
Look! See! I can do three!
But I can do more!
You have three!
But I have four!
Imagine you have a table.
Imagine you have on your table an old watch. Like this one.
Fig. 1. Old Watch
Imagine this watch is working badly, and you know how to fix it.
But if so, you need some special instruments to do it up.
Glasses, screwdriver, tweezers, toolbox, … like that.
Fig.2. Glasses
Fig.3. Screwdriver
Fig.4. Tweezers
Fig.5. Toolbox
Now. Imagine you have on your table the world of human beings, like that.
Fig.6. The Globe
It works badly and you know how to fix it.
But what instruments do you need for that?
I recommend you four mental instruments to begin with.
