One day someone dropped a similar phrase, and everyone picked it up. They believed that people could be shuffled like cards, and nothing would change.
The sun will still be blushing, and things will be going smoothly. The sun will definitely roll out and stick to the sky, but questions will definitely arise with the energy of a particular person. After all, no one can repeat anyone. There is a bakery at the end of my house. Tiny, with rustic violets on the windowsills and stacks of old magazines. Croissants with whole apricots are baked in it and cocoa is poured into Czech porcelain. Every time I return from training, I stop by for a buckwheat baguette and talk to the saleswoman. She stands behind the counter in a white starched apron and resembles the “gray-haired and stern old woman” from the fairy tale “The House That Jack Built.” Always sterile, friendly, with powdered hair at the roots.
Are there no irreplaceable people? Are you sure?
We bow to each other in the old-fashioned way and chat about this and that. I share that my husband taught the child to growl, and now she imagines herself to be either a lion cub or a puppy. She talks about her old dog Lola, who sings along to Leps.
A month ago, the woman quit her job and went to live with her son. Her place was taken by a sullen aunt without a hairstyle and “the house that Jack built.” Without a smile, soft energy, casual hospitality.
I still buy bread, but my life has lost the usual morning conversation.
During our student years, we chose a tiny restaurant located in a cellar. It fried cordon bleu, made dumplings, poured draft beer and served the cheapest coffee in the city. They played “Hands Up” and “Tramp Boy.”
Things went sluggishly, monotonously, until a new administrator appeared: a skinny, choleric girl. She started hosting cocktail parties, changed the menu, arranged candles and invited musicians.
Two guitarists theatrically hung their coats on the backs of high chairs and sang “Sunday” and “Secret”. On Fridays, the barista held raffles. On Mondays - tasting of new dishes.
Business picked up sharply, and people started booking tables in advance, until the “administrator” got married and went on maternity leave.
The restaurant immediately deflated, returned to its previous sluggish life, and then closed completely.
“There are no irreplaceable people,” said someone in France. This was repeated by Woodrow Wilson, followed by Stalin, and many of us continue to say this.
Likewise, Pliny the Elder, without checking, wrote that ostriches bury their heads in the sand, while they simply lay their necks on the ground to rest.
Similarly, we argue that soup must be eaten every day, a cactus saves you from harmful radiation, and if a person grinds his teeth, it means he has worms.
In fact, there is nothing useful in boiled vegetables, invisible radiation cannot be absorbed, and you can only replace the battery in a watch, and it is not a fact that it will run as before.
We have no irreplaceables
We have no irreplaceables
A phrase known in socio-political vocabulary since the beginning of the 20th century. At first it became known as the slogan (“There are no irreplaceable people”), under which the future man conducted his election campaign (1912). American President Woodrow Wilson, who borrowed this expression from the French language. Later (1932) this slogan was used by Franklin Delano Roosevelt when fighting with Howard Hoover for the presidency.
In Russia, this expression is known as the phrase of I.V. Stalin, although in this form it is not found anywhere in his speeches or writings. Apparently, party propagandists and journalists simply “creatively developed” (using a ready-made slogan), the following passage from the Report (section III, part 2), which Stalin spoke at the XVII Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks in 1934. Meaning some senior party and Soviet officials, he said: “These arrogant nobles think that they are indispensable and that they can violate the decisions of the governing bodies with impunity. They should be removed from leadership positions without hesitation, regardless of their past merits.”

There are no irreplaceable ones, but there are those who have left us.
We will not forget their faces, voices...
Once upon a time they brought love into our lives,

Thank you, my dear..
You contributed to my new vision of the World, for which I bow deeply to you...
Rest in peace.. Light to your Soul..
Your glowing soul..
With a light and invisible touch she touched me, leaving a surprisingly warm, almost tender correspondence...
Virtual communication with this sweet woman gave me some kind of inner core, filled my life with new colors and content....
I won’t lie, I was really looking forward to her letters...
It seems to me that I am still waiting for them to this day....
Of course: they supported me very much, reading them, I hear her voice, filling the printed lines with spiritual warmth..
I combined the letters addressed to me, as it were, into one...
And this is what happened...
"! Hello, Myshul...
I feel like a CALICIOUS PRINCESS.
I’m lying in the “floral” beauty, my husband is trying to please... he brings everything on a tray, and I’m capricious...
I don’t write because I have a lot to do and very little free time.
Moreover, in the evening at Oculus I took on the “social load” - TRAVEL.
I remember you, don't be offended. come to my topic - there will be a meeting.
Do you remember how I looked into your Friendship - I found a minute.
Myshul, I want to learn Hebrew.
If you want to do something nice for me, select literature or reprints for this.
Hebrew is making slow progress.
I'll catch up in June..
I gave your bottle opener to my husband, but then, - ... I hung it in a visible place in the kitchen... - In memory of you!!!
Myshul! What are you saying: I don’t hope for good things!?
The GOOD thing is that YOU will soon be a GRANDMA!!
Hi,
I really don't show up very often.
I’ve even put aside my topic of Travel for now... I don’t want to write “forays”, because the philosophical question is now there. ...
But in a week it should be free from overload.
I am currently defending my MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGY diploma.
This is the THIRD highest image.
I defended my diploma as a Specialist in Medical Psychology last year.
Now master's degree.
I also want to go to graduate school in the fall.!!!
Your romances are sure to gain popularity!
“SHAWL” is absolutely extraordinary!!
A popular singer should sing it.
You certainly do it wonderfully.
But the Big Stage is divided in Showbiz.
And only a promoted Star can truly make her a star....
thank you for writing about yourself.
Natul, you are a good person. I love your kind heart.
I looked at asteroids about you.
And of course WOW! I am absolutely delighted with what I saw in the horoscope - my own associations were confirmed!
Your energy just comes from the HEAVEN!
you can work with the "channel" directly.
You have the potential of CLAIRVOYANCE and the ability to gain knowledge without Teachers!
Your Energy is Healing, but without control, it can also be destructive (both for you and for others).
If you do not use your GIFT and do not reveal it further, you will get sick and may have not only physiological ailments, but also psychological and even mental illnesses (but I think God will not allow this!).
You have good aptitude for astrology.
But the main thing is that you CAN read the information.
And the harmonious schemes of astrology can discourage intuitive perception if you STRESS yourself with dry astrological formulas of events!
Tomorrow I’m going to my mother - my sisters and their families will gather with her to congratulate our children once again in a family atmosphere on their birth.
My mother has cancer, but she refused surgery.
We accepted her choice - even though it was not easy for all of us.
But now we are trying to support her as best we can - morally and spiritually.
All autumn (every weekend) I took her to miraculous icon Mother of God and the “holy” source.
I think this really supports her.
Because the doctors gave her a few months’ time, but she still doesn’t feel as well as she could with these medical prognoses.
I pray for her. And I suffer very much from the inability to save her.
I have already re-read your letter several times....
I really want to talk to you about this topic... but I’m afraid that this will be more than one letter... and if I start this conversation with you, it will not be so ASTROLOGICAL as it will be psychological.
Myshul, I'll think about it first. how to talk to you THIS, and then I’ll write.
To be honest, I have a feeling that if I touch this topic, something VERY SERIOUS will begin!!!
Myshul, I hug you! I think of you...
I poked and poked, I poked at the cards, I decorated them as best I could... they don’t come to you!!! It says “stupid site” that I’m doing something incorrectly!! or not the site “stupid, but me)))
I decided that I would write a letter, and if it works out, I’ll also send a postcard!
I attached gifts to the letter!!!
I wish you happiness and joy!!
Creative flight and warmth!
Let your life be SWEET like a FAIRYTALE!!!
Soviet leader Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin unexpectedly intervened in the 2016 election campaign in the United States. "Culprit" of this event became a presidential candidate from the Republican Party Ben Carson.
During a televised debate, Carson said: "Joseph Stalin said that if you want to destroy America, you need to destroy three things - our spiritual life, our patriotism and our morality."Very quickly, viewers and Internet users discovered that the presidential candidate cited words that Stalin never actually said. After this, hundreds of ironic comments rained down on Carson.
The most curious thing is that the quote cited by Ben Carson is well known to the Russian audience - it is, but only in reverse translation in relation to Russia, cited either as part of the so-called “Dulles plan” or as a statement Zbigniew Brzezinski. Some even attribute it Otto von Bismarck.
In fact, neither Stalin, nor Bismarck, nor Brzezinski, as well as other prominent figures of different eras, have anything to do with this phrase. The most similar statement is found in the hero of the novel writer Anatoly Ivanov“Eternal Call”, a former Russian gendarme officer, and at the time of his statement - SS Standartenführer Lakhnovsky.
The incident that happened to Ben Carson is not that rare. Thanks to the Internet, the circulation of loud sayings and aphorisms famous people, who actually didn’t say anything like that, became widespread.Leader of the Russian Revolution Vladimir Ilyich Lenin wrote about this: “ the main problem quotes on the Internet is that people immediately believe in their authenticity.”
If you were confused by the historical proximity of Lenin and the Internet, then you can be congratulated - of course, he did not write anything like that. However, this phrase, launched by someone as a mockery of fake quotes, is now taken at face value by many citizens who are not too savvy in historical matters.
AiF.ru has collected several examples of famous sayings powerful of the world things they never actually said.
1. “No man, no problem,” Joseph Stalin
I don't know what I would say Soviet leader, having heard this saying, perhaps he would nod his head approvingly, or perhaps he would twirl his finger at his temple. In any case, there is no reliable evidence that Stalin ever said such a phrase.
In fact, the phrase was coined and attributed to Stalin by the writer Anatoly Rybakov in the novel "Children of Arbat". They say that the author heartily made fun of publicists and politicians who in their speeches cited this phrase as truly Stalinist.
2. “We don’t have irreplaceable people,” Joseph Stalin
And one more phrase attributed to the Generalissimo, but not his. In 1942, it was used in the play “Front” by the playwright Alexander Korneychuk. But he is not its author either. The words actually belong to the Commissioner of the French Revolutionary Convention Joseph Le Bon and were said in 1793. Viscount de Guiselin, arrested for political unreliability, asked for his life to be spared, since his education and experience could still be useful new France. To which Commissioner Le Bon replied: “There are no irreplaceable people in the Republic!” The commissioner turned out to be right - soon after the viscount he himself went to the guillotine.
3. “Stalin took Russia with a plow and left with an atomic bomb,” - Winston Churchill
Another one famous phrase, now not Stalin, but about Stalin. Really, Winston Churchill treated the Soviet leader with caution and respect, which was reflected even in the Fulton speech with which he began cold war: “I deeply admire and honor the valiant Russian people and my wartime comrade Marshal Stalin.”
But about the plow and atomic bomb Churchill said nothing. For the first time, a Stalinist cited it as a quote from Churchill in the article “I Can’t Give Up Principles” in March 1988 Nina Andreeva.
Andreeva's inspiration may have been a 1956 Encyclopedia Britannica article about Stalin. Author of the article, Sovietologist Isaac Deutscher, wrote: “The essence of Stalin’s truly historical achievements is that he took Russia with a plow, and left it with nuclear reactors. He raised Russia to the level of the second industrialized country in the world.”
4. “When I hear the word “culture,” my hand reaches for a gun,” Joseph Goebbels
The main propagandist of the Third Reich really did not favor those manifestations of culture that did not fit into Nazi ideology. Perhaps he would even subscribe to this statement, just like Hermann Goering, who is sometimes also credited with the authorship of these words. But the truth is that neither Goering nor Goebbels said anything like that.
In fact, the phrase is taken from a play by a Nazi playwright Hans Jost"Schlageter", dedicated to the German veteran of the First World War, who, after the Allied occupation of the Rhineland, continued to blow up French trains. In the play, Schlageter discusses with his friend whether it is worth spending time on studying if the country is under occupation. The friend replies that it is better to fight than to study and that at the word “culture” he releases the safety of his Browning.
5. “Don’t spare the soldiers, the women are still giving birth!” — Marshal Georgy Zhukov
Among critics of the leadership talents of Marshal Zhukov, as well as among fans of the version that the Red Army “bombarded the Wehrmacht with corpses,” this quote is very popular.
The problem is one thing - Zhukov never said it. How they didn't pronounce it Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov and the emperor Peter the Great, which in different time she was attributed.It is not known for certain how and when this phrase originated. Something similar can be found in the empress's letter Alexandra Feodorovna Nicholas II, dated August 17, 1916: “The generals know that we still have many soldiers in Russia, and therefore they do not spare lives, but these were superbly trained troops, and everything was in vain.”
6. “The Franco-Prussian War was won by a German schoolteacher,” - Otto von Bismarck
Otto von Bismarck said a lot during his life that later turned into aphorisms. But, in addition to Bismarck’s actual words, there are many that are mistakenly attributed to him.
The author of the statement is a contemporary of Bismarck, a geography teacher Oscar Peschel. The words that appeared in a newspaper article in the summer of 1866 referred not to the Franco-Prussian War, but to the Austro-Prussian War: “When the Prussians beat the Austrians, it was a victory for a Prussian teacher over an Austrian schoolteacher.”
7. “Whoever was not a radical in his youth has no heart; whoever has not become a conservative in adulthood has no mind,” - Winston Churchill
Many people have heard about this phrase from Churchill, but the trouble is that the British Prime Minister himself obviously never uttered it. British historians, having rummaged through the archives, have not found reliable confirmation of Churchill’s utterance of this phrase.
Paul Addison from the University of Edinburgh states: “Churchill clearly could not have said this, since he himself was a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35. Moreover, would he have spoken so disrespectfully to Clemmie ( Clementine Churchill, Winston's wife - approx. ed.), who was considered a liberal all her life?”The most likely author of the expression is the Prime Minister of France in 1847-1848 Francois Guizot, who once said: “Whoever is not a Republican at twenty has no heart; Anyone who is a Republican after thirty has no head.”
8. “Any cook can rule the state,” Vladimir Lenin
Since the late 1980s, this phrase has been actively used by critics of the Soviet system and socialism in general. Without entering into an argument about whose ability to govern the state is higher - a Russian cook of the early 20th century or Russian deputy the beginning of the 21st century, it must be said that Lenin did not utter such words.
In this case we are talking about a deliberate distortion of a real Leninist phrase. In October 1917, in the article “Will the Bolsheviks hold state power? Lenin wrote: “We are not utopians. We know that any unskilled worker and any cook are not capable of immediately taking over the government of the state. On this we agree with both the cadets and Breshkovskaya, and with Tsereteli. But we differ from these citizens in that we demand an immediate break with the prejudice that only the rich or officials taken from rich families are able to govern the state, carry out the everyday, daily work of government. We require that training government controlled was carried out by class-conscious workers and soldiers and that it should be started immediately, that is, all working people, all the poor, should immediately begin to be involved in this training.”As you can see, Lenin’s original phrase has a completely different meaning.
9. “If I fall asleep and wake up in a hundred years, and they ask me what is happening in Russia now, I will answer without thinking: they drink and steal,” Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin
This phrase is known to everyone and appears regularly in the media. But Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin, despite all his satirical talent, did not write or pronounce it. Most likely, the second contender for authorship, the Russian historian, did not do this either. Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin. The phrase appears in Mikhail Zoshchenko in the Blue Book with reference to notebooks Pyotr Andreevich Vyazemsky, which, in turn, refers to conversations with Karamzin. There is no reliable confirmation of the reality of the conversation in which such a phrase was heard, so it can easily be considered the author’s discovery of Zoshchenko himself.
10. “Every fool can handle a crisis. What is more difficult for us is everyday life,” Anton Chekhov
This phrase has become especially active among Russian Internet users recently due to the economic crisis in the country. However, it is also popular abroad, since Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of the Russian writers and playwrights who are well known throughout the world.
The problem is that to this day no one has been able to find any reference to this phrase in the works, letters and memoirs of Chekhov.
Are there no irreplaceables?
Olga Nikitina: - I am of the opinion that there are no irreplaceable people. Of course, I value the contribution of each employee to the development of the company, but if circumstances arise such that you have to part with someone, well, that’s life, it’s all about losses and gains. After working for some time in the company, a new employee will understand the specifics of our work. And if we suit each other, then over time he will become as “irreplaceable” as his predecessor.
But “fighting” the “irreplaceable” is too strong a word. It is necessary to carry out systematic work, which consists of the following: firstly, the manager himself must always be aware of what is happening in the company (what projects are in development, what is being implemented at this moment, what has already been achieved, etc.). Secondly, try to teach employees to be versatile in their work, so that everyone can replace the other during vacation, illness, or due to workload. And finally, thirdly, regularly conduct general meetings team so that everyone knows where the company is heading, what to expect, how to build further work. Speaking not only as the owner of a business, but also as its manager, of course, I assess my importance in the development of the company. I believe that I am not only the founder of the business, but also its thinking center, a generator of new ideas. In cases where the head of the company changes, the company may perform worse or better (it all depends on the professionalism of the person), and when the owner changes, the company may cease to exist altogether or radically change the direction of its activities. Combining both functions, I not only set a goal that the company must achieve, but also develop specific tools with which it must be achieved.
Vyacheslav Antonov:
For example, the work of a doctor is not mechanized, it simply cannot be so. And I must say that there are very few good doctors. These are irreplaceable people, because if they are replaced, the quality of the service provided will suffer.
Tatyana Shvab:
The main thing is that a person understands his place in the business process. Each employee must know that he is responsible for his area of work. If he fails, the whole process will be slowed down. Transparency of technology is the key to successful work and lack of indispensability. There is a category of people who are trying to build technology in such a way as to become indispensable. But I do not welcome this and never do this, because this, in my opinion, speaks of a lack of self-respect and low self-esteem. Life is so arranged that nothing lasts forever under the sun.
Everything flows, everything changes. Of course, I can be replaced overnight. I can be indispensable only thanks to my charisma, just like any other person.
Sergei Kudrin:
There are employees who silently do their work, and there are those who pretend to be active, while doing their best to extol their merits “to the skies” and present themselves as “irreplaceable.” I don’t like such “irreplaceable” employees; I value highly qualified specialists more. It's easy to distinguish one from the other.
When a person works, what is visible is not him, but his work. He constantly comes up with some projects, proposals, and ready-made developments arrive. I really appreciate such people, since they do not waste my time and theirs, but involve me only when it is really necessary.
And there are people who seem to do something, but the result is zero. But at the same time, they come to me with enviable regularity, ask questions, and consult. In general, they are trying to increase their importance in my eyes. But the work still doesn’t work! I appreciate those who really work, move them forward and offer something myself, but I try to part with others as quickly as possible. I think it will be better this way, both for the company and for the team.
I am young CEO- in office for less than a year. Since taking office, I had to change a lot in the company. Optimize business processes, truly identify good specialists and those who were not interested in work, but only in their own status. As a result, we had to part with many “irreplaceable” employees. After the departure of “irreplaceable” people, I did not try to immediately recruit new staff. The functionality of the former employee was transferred to specialists from related fields, and he saw how they handled it. For some employees, the expansion of their functionality became an opportunity for career and professional growth, while others could not cope and left.
Compared to last year, the staff of Zebra Telecom has been updated by almost 50%. Some positions have been restored and new invited specialists are working in them. In general, I believe that at that time the company’s renewal was necessary and it was successful.
