Psychologists classify people according to their habits and characteristics according to a large number of characteristics, for example, by temperament. Not so long ago, experts have developed another classification method that allows you to divide the entire population of the planet according to such criteria as addiction to tea or coffee. After all, these two most popular drinks in the world are drunk by almost everyone. Of course, a person can love both drinks, but he still gives the greatest preference to one of them.

Rice. 15 differences between coffee lovers and tea lovers

differences in character and habits among tea lovers and coffee lovers

1. People who prefer tea, approach the solution of issues in detail, do everything slowly, and coffee lovers are always in a hurry somewhere, trying to solve all the problems at once.

2. Those who love tea show more romanticism, care and tenderness in relationships, and coffee lovers rely on originality, passion and unpredictability.

5. People who prefer tea are less likely to take the initiative, but if they take up any business, they will do it flawlessly. Coffee lovers are more proactive and active. It is not uncommon to grasp several things at the same time. And although they solve many problems successfully, some of the cases still remain unfinished.

6. Coffee lovers in a relationship with a partner behave at the behest of the heart, that is, give in to fleeting impulses of the soul, often improvise. Those who love tea are inclined to more deliberate behavior in the sphere of love; they try to subordinate any of their actions to logic.

14. Coffee lovers are bettors who gladly engage in controversy. They will argue until justice prevails. Tea drinkers think carefully about the situation before arguing, they weigh their every word and get very upset when they failed to win the argument.

According to psychologists, the choice of infusion and additional ingredients to it can tell a lot about a person's character. To find out more about your new acquaintance, it does not hurt to take a closer look at the very manner of drinking tea in a cafe or at a party. Thus, you can generally find out what kind of "fruit" in front of you. And at the same time check yourself - what if you learn something new?

Green tea

A person who prefers this type of tea is very balanced and calm, knows how to curb his emotions. There is little that can piss them off. They will not explode and get upset over trifles. Outbursts of unbridled joy are alien to them, too. In part, a green tea lover is hindered by a too serious attitude to life, so they are encouraged to try to look at everything easier and more fun.

A green tea lover is a reliable and loyal friend. He attaches importance to various little things, so he will not drink from an old cup, and even a chipped one. As a true philosopher, he is ready to wait and enjoy the very process of making tea, along the way going deep into his thoughts or reflecting on global problems.

Jasmine tea

Jasmine tea is usually the same "balanced" green tea with the addition of fragrant white flowers. Lovers of this tea are ideal workers because discipline is sacred to them. Outwardly, they may seem unapproachable, but on the inside, they feel differently. Also, fans of this tea are distinguished by a passion for cleanliness and order (including in their own head), and sloppy people are perceived as a natural disaster, although out of politeness they will not show it.

Earl Gray

The delicate aroma of this tea with the addition of bitter orange symbolizes the sensual nature of the drinker. Bergamot tea drinkers are bumpy and easily discouraged when they fail - but can move mountains when things are going well. They have a vulnerable ego and any little thing can hurt them. Most often this is a consequence of self-doubt, however, absolutely groundless. It would be good for them to understand that in fact they are much stronger than they seem to themselves.

Black tea with sugar

If your acquaintance drinks strong and sweet black tea, even with lemon, before you is a simple and open person without any special claims to life. He is honest with himself and demands the same from others. He is responsible and reliable, but sometimes a little absent-minded. Nevertheless, he is often entrusted with the work that may be beyond the power of others - after all, no matter how long the work takes, it is guaranteed to be performed with the highest quality.

For sincere optimism and a serious attitude to their duties, those around them sometimes consider the black tea lover to be overbearing and self-confident. But do not forget that even the strongest personalities are very vulnerable. We are all a little children at heart, although we do not show it. It's nice to just talk with such a person, because he is very sociable, has the skill of persuasion and attracts people to him.

Unsweetened black tea

A strong black infusion without sugar is chosen by pedantic people who are able to notice the smallest details in everything. This makes them a little picky, and not everyone around them likes it. They love to learn all the details, somewhat reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. They have their own undeniable opinion on every question, and in a dispute they tend to be stubborn and often "swim against the tide." But this does not prevent them from remaining cheerful and sociable, gathering a crowd of friends around them. They are practical and analytical, but at the same time impressionable and sentimental.

Cold and unsweetened tea is loved by talented, sociable people who, like air, need the attention of others. Ice tea lovers have a mood like the weather in autumn. They are very well-read, love to debate and show off their skills. They are fond of both hobbies and work to the point of fanaticism.

Tea with milk

Anyone who adds milk to black tea takes life very lightly and tries to remain positive in any situation. But each medal has a downside: in this case, it is frivolity and an overly compliant, non-conflict nature. He easily agrees to everything, although he just as easily does not fulfill the promise. And if it is impossible not to fulfill, then often the solution of the issue reaches the moment when it is no longer possible to pull.

Such people will be helped by the advice to say "yes" less often and to learn, if not to refuse, then at least sometimes to remain silent. And those around you should think three times before relying on milk tea lovers to solve important issues. But such a person is very pleasant in easy interpersonal communication, since he is a good listener.

Fruit tea

Lovers of fruit teas don't like serious things and like entertainment. They constantly find reasons to relax, but nevertheless sincerely consider themselves to be very busy. It is very useful for them to keep a diary, where it is worth noting everything that has been done, and analyzing it at the end of the day. After all, time is something that cannot be returned, and it would be good to learn how to use it with benefit.

Just do not confuse natural tea made from pieces of fruits and berries with artificially flavored black or green tea from the supermarket. The last option is chosen by those people who lack vitality or external impressions: it seems to them that aromatic tea will quickly bring them into the necessary tone.

Tea drinking style

And now let's digress from the varieties of tea (we have listed only the most basic of them) and go directly to the manner of drinking. According to research led by psychologist Rebecca Newton,
there are six main "tea" characters:

Nervous. Holds a cup with both hands. Sometimes drumming his fingers on it. Avoids contact with the eyes of the interlocutor. Perhaps he is not saying something to you or is trying to find the right words before an important conversation.

Uncertain. Holds the cup with both hands, as if trying to warm them up. From time to time he blows on the tea to cool it down. However, when it comes to a girl, such a slight confusion seems charming. It can also be a harmless way to please a guy and awaken a dormant "protector" in him.

Malignant. A person holds a cup close to his head and uses it as a pointer when talking, makes sharp emotional gestures with the hand in which he holds the drink (in extreme cases, he may even spill it).

Confident. The man leans forward, holding his hand to his chin. He often blows for tea, holds himself confidently and relaxedly, looks first at the interlocutor, then at the contents of the cup. The latter, by the way, he most often holds with one hand by the handle.

Attentive. They don't become a good listener - they are either born or not. Such a person gently holds the cup with both hands. He is always open to conversation - and when the interlocutor speaks, he leans slightly in his direction. He drinks tea without taking his eyes off the interlocutor.

The psychologist also notes that the person who most often

Tea as a gift

If you give real Chinese tea to the uninformed, then it is better - puer. Most likely, he (the gifted person) will remember him in five years, or even his children will have time to grow up, and then they will find a Puerh pancake or "tochu" in the closet. During this time, from an ordinary average pu-erh tea, tea will have time to turn into a tea masterpiece, which, again, you can not drink, but sell for very big money.

Do you often "rack" your brains before choosing - what to give? ...

It happens like this: on the eve of the holidays, again you need to look for something as a gift. And so every year! You are faced with a choice - budget and how not to fall on your face in the mud! Do you think where is the middle - so that it is not expensive and "to the point"? It was always thought that if at least this time I had extra money, big money, I would definitely please everyone. I once thought so too. You can just buy an expensive pen. A gift with its price status would already speak for itself. An expensive computer, a gift version of a famous book, a trip to an expensive restaurant. Etc. But, in fact, what is written in the book does not change from the cost of the book. The handle, due to its price, will not add beauty and intelligence to thought.

Of course, big money can buy tickets to the sea, somewhere in a beautiful place. The main thing here is to choose a picturesque place, and so that it would be to the taste of the one with whom you share the trip. And that this person, preferably, has never been there! The gift does not so much depend on the price, but on how much it is now to the place, event and mood. I once gave my mom a homemade notebook that read "A notebook for writing down my dreams." Or something like that, I don't remember. The idea was that you need to write all your dreams in this notebook in order for them to come true. The notebook itself is ordinary, but painted in different colors, illustrations, inscriptions. It was a creative highlight in the gift. Such a gift, I thought, would add magic, fantasy, joy. Than, for example, just an expensive notebook, in a beautiful binding! I do not argue that someone needs an expensive notebook. But people often love with their eyes, love compliments, congratulations, visual greetings. I always wanted a gift to be able to speak for me or complement me. Say with my pictures, quotes, original images ... And my thought was once reflected in one of the gifts.

Once I saw a picture on the counter of one shop. At first, I didn’t even focus on what it was. I came closer and examined what was drawn there. It was a box. Colored box with inscriptions and pictures on both sides. Then I looked at the window wider and noticed that there were more of these boxes and they are different, but they carry the same idea. On one it was written "I love you!", On the other "For my beloved mother!", On the other "For friends!", "Congratulations!" Yes, there was something similar for dad too - "For beloved dad." There were more of them. I looked at each one. I can’t remember everything that was written there, but the pictures were etched into my memory. Maybe because I have a visual memory, I don't know. Since Valentine's Day was planned ahead - February 14. And as we are used to, on this day they congratulate their loved ones and confess their love to them, giving romantic gifts. I took in my hands a red box on which a guy and a girl in an embrace were drawn, they were glad to each other. The box was red, as if expressing the ardent ardor of lovers. The inscription "I love you!" - spoke for the one who gives this gift!

But what is it? Oh yes! Now I have objectively looked at this creation. It was tea, gift tea in artistically designed packaging. I realized that this is such an idea for different occasions. For other holidays and occasions, other packages of this gift tea were located nearby. I took the tea "I love you!" for his girlfriend and remembered that March 8 and February 23 were still ahead. Therefore, for my mother I bought tea “For my beloved mother” and for my father “For my beloved father”, of course. I spent less than a thousand rubles on all this. Such a gift card. Not expensive, original and to the point. You can, of course, also buy flowers in addition. But just giving flowers would not be so original. More precisely, it is not original at all. Maybe nice, but not original. I'm glad I ended up in this particular store. Now I look forward to the holidays. At home I looked at the boxes again. I read the composition of the tea. All sorts of berries and herbs in addition to tea in front of my nose caused a sensation of a fragrant smell. And I myself wanted to unpack one box. But I restrained myself. After all, this is not just tea, but a gift! And I will try it with my loved ones! Now I always know what to give for any occasion. And I want to share with everyone.

You can also give such a gift!

Dragon Well Tea - Longjing

Don't give in to your anger, be calm. Anyone who is nervous dies quickly. And not in battle, but just like that - from the nerves. (c) Uncle Cheryl

Without a doubt, the most famous Chinese tea - Dragon Well, or Longjing as it is called in China, is known not only for its unique aroma, but also for the legends surrounding it. This tea is grown in the West Lake region of Guangzhou, in the Zheiang province. It is often referred to as the national Chinese drink and is offered to heads of state, and there are also several plantations on which this tea is grown specifically for the leaders of the Chinese government. These exclusive teas are never sold publicly, the plantations are walled and guarded by armed soldiers with dogs. If you are offered tea destined for the President of China, then you are definitely lying. On these plantations, every leaf is counted.

Dragon Well tea has been produced in Hangzhou for over a thousand years, but it has become famous since the reign of the King Dynasty. The second emperor of the King dynasty, Emperor Kangst, visited Hangzhou several times and appreciated this tea. His grandson, the third emperor of the King Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong, made this tea truly famous, and since then its popularity has never declined. During one of his trips to this area, Emperor Qianlong saw people collecting tea and joined them. Then he was informed that his mother was ill and asked him to come to Beijing. He put the leaves he had collected in his sleeve and went to Beijing. As he walked towards his mother, he noticed the aroma of tea emanating from the sleeves. He remembered tea and brewed some leaves for her. They liked him so much that from that time this tea began to be supplied to the imperial court. According to rumors, the flat shape of the leaves of this tea repeats the shape of the leaves straightened in the emperor's sleeve. In those days, there were 18 trees, from which tea was sent directly to the emperor. These trees can be seen today, they still bear fruit:

This tea is incredibly expensive; one gram of it costs more than gold. Its leaves are sold only at auctions. If you are lucky enough to visit Hangzhou, visit the 18 Imperial Trees. They are located in the center of a beautiful garden on the plantation:

Forwarding tea with letters!

Last fall, I joined several communities for the exchange of paper letters. To my surprise, I discovered that, along with magnets, baubles and other junk in envelopes, it is customary to send tea bags =)). One of the VKontakte correspondence groups even has a special topic for those who want to exchange tea: vk.com/topic-28851185_26181031

Not to say that they send some rare varieties of tea - I received one that can be easily purchased in a nearby supermarket. But the very fact that someone chose this tea for me warms my soul =)). I also saw pictures with beautifully painted envelopes for tea bags.

I would like to ask the esteemed accomplices: have they ever received tea bags by mail as a gift? =)) Or did you send it yourself? Or maybe someone here wants to arrange such an exchange!

Chinese tea ceremony

Don't give in to your anger, be calm. Anyone who is nervous dies quickly. And not in battle, but just like that - from the nerves. (c) Uncle Cheryl

That week I finally realized one of my dreams - to attend a master class on the tea ceremony (I wanted to visit both Japanese and Chinese, but it so happened that the first was Chinese and I think, given its peculiarities, that it suits me personally more). Of course, I heard about how to brew green tea for a long time, but I seriously drew attention to this only in the winter and spring of last year while reading the Chinese epic novel "Three Kingdoms" in which the scenes of tea drinking were not so much multiple, but rather expressive. And then I first tried to brew green tea with water of about 70 degrees and infuse the brew for "three breaths". And to my surprise, I really felt the difference, and so much so that for some time I strictly adhered to these brewing rules (although it is not so easy to wait until the water cools down - I have a regular electric kettle that does not allow me to choose the heating temperature), moreover, even my mother appreciated the delicate and delicate taste of properly brewed tea, but she is not a fan of special delights and may well drink yesterday's tea. Then, partial observance of the rules became a habit (I did not brew green tea with steep boiling water), but I did not show any particular scrupulousness (I could leave the brewed tea for more than half an hour, then drink it, which was digested or cooled down). And while looking through the master classes that I would like to attend, I finally found a Chinese tea ceremony!

The ceremony was conducted by a very pleasant woman, a close friend and I were together, i.e. it was a chamber event, and despite the fact that it was just a master class, and not the ceremony itself (not in an ethnic environment, with explanations, just as a show and story, and not the action itself), at the end I experienced an amazing a sense of calm and purification. It was unforgettable. Then we improvised at home a couple of times (without special equipment, of course, it’s difficult) - it was also nice.
At the master class itself, they learned a lot from the history of tea and about its varieties and characteristics. I was also surprised that only oolong tea is taken for the tea ceremony, and not different teas, and that there are still two different types of ceremony that differ only in the type of tableware: in China, only tea cups are used, and in Taiwan - two types of cups - high and low. It was the Taiwanese type that was shown in our master class, and, as we were told, he is more popular.

We are going to attend another master class by that teacher, dedicated to different types of tea, the specifics of choice and use. And I hope if everything works out
we will be able to purchase the necessary equipment for a full-fledged ceremony and delight ourselves and our guests with it.

P.S. It is very easy to find various materials about the Chinese tea ceremony, just type this phrase in any search engine,
, it seemed to me well told.

Mate tea ...

Kilometers run, but time stands ... (s)

I find it hard to believe it - but there is still no post on the community. dedicated to my favorite tea mate! .. Well, we need to fix this ...
And so ... Mate is a tonic drink made from dried crushed leaves and young shoots of Paraguayan holly (Ilex paraguariensis). The dried leaves of holly are called “herb mate” (Spanish yerba mate, hierba mate), the drink itself has the same name, the vessel for its preparation is also called mate, but in Russian practice the name calabas or calabash has stuck; which means "pumpkin" in Spanish, it is made from gourd-gourd. In other languages, the vessel is called "mate cup"

Strong mate has a tart taste (less bitter than green tea brewed in the same quantity) with a slight sweetish aftertaste and contains alkaloids from the xanthine group (this group includes caffeine, theobromine and theophylline). Mate contains 196 active vitamins and minerals, in particular vitamin A, B vitamins (B1, B2 prevail), vitamins C, E, P, trace elements, including sulfur, magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium, iron, copper, chlorine ... In terms of the composition of vitamins and microelements, mate is comparable to tea.

Mate is recommended as a remedy that reduces the destructive effect of neuroses and depression, which affects the general psychoemotional state - it improves mood, increases activity, but at the same time acts gently, while simultaneously relieving symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, fussiness, emotional imbalance and nervousness. This is largely due to the suppression of the release of the hormone adrenaline. Does not disrupt the sleep cycle. Many people find it takes less time to get enough sleep after drinking mate. The body goes into deep sleep, which allows you to relieve stress and fatigue that occurs as a result of restless sleep and insomnia.

Mate is usually drunk from calabas, a special gourd [Lagenaria vulgaris], with a bombilla tube (in Spanish “bombilla”, in the Argentine dialect of bombia). The bombilla has a flattened mouthpiece at the top and ends with a flask-shaped strainer that serves as a filter to keep grass particles out of the mouth. The classic method of brewing mate involves filling the calabas by one third, then shake the filled mate and moisten it a little with water. Water is an important aspect for brewing mate. It should be soft enough, the optimal brewing temperature is 75-80 ° C. Next, the bombilla is inserted neatly into the slightly swollen tea leaves and the kalabas is poured completely. It is enough to wait 1-2 minutes and the mate is ready to use. On average, one tea leaves can be filled with water 7-9 times.

When mate is drunk in a company, one person takes it upon himself to make sure that the mate is always full. In Spanish it is called "cebador" - that is, the brewing and serving mate. Only this does not mean something like a brewer. The same word means a stoker, for example. If one makes sure that there is always firewood in the stove, the other makes sure that there is always water in the mat. For the sake of this custom, the bombilla mouthpiece is silver, since the disinfecting properties of silver have long been known. The drinker drinks the first pour himself, since the taste of the first pour is very bitter. The topper then refills the mate again and passes it on to the next person, who slowly drinks the mate to the bottom and returns it to the drinker. And so it continues in a circle.

If you drink tea for a long time, wings can grow

Many people start their day with a cup of aromatic tea or coffee, and it turns out that there is a relationship between a person's character and his favorite drink. Psychologists say that by carefully looking at the manner of drinking tea, as well as the preferred variety, one can understand a person's character.
Classic black tea with sugar drink people who are responsible for their work, their duties. They are quite vulnerable and soft in the shower. However, others do not always guess about this, considering such people to be overbearing.
Those people who add to tea a slice of lemon very sociable and gentle. They are often endowed with a certain talent. However, there are grumblers among such people. Although this character trait is very suitable for many.
Sugar-free black tea love sensitive, attentive people who are endowed with special observation. They are able to notice the smallest details that often elude others. However, such people are often stubborn. They always have their own point of view, which they defend to the last.
Tea with milk people with positive energy prefer to drink. However, when problems arise, such people should not be counted on, since everything that does not concern them is absolutely indifferent to them. Only in some cases are they able to sympathize or help.
Lovers green tea able to show calmness in the most unexpected situations. They are fairly balanced and reliable. In addition, such people know how to maintain friendship. However, most of them are quite capricious, which is their main drawback.
Workers who give themselves completely to work prefer fruit tea... Such people never pay attention to their own rest and entertainment. Their friends can only be people who have been tested over the years.
Jasmine tea love principled people who adhere to a certain discipline. They never violate social norms. In addition, such people are overly clean. For those around them, they seem unapproachable. However, in their souls they are quite gentle and soft.

.
From research on drinking habits led by psychologist Rebecca Newton, there are six main "Tea" characters.

Nervous... Holds a cup with both hands. Sometimes drumming his fingers on it. Avoids contact with the eyes of the interlocutor.

Uncertain. Holds the cup with both hands, as if trying to warm them up. Nervously blowing tea to cool.

Malignant. Holds the cup close to the head and uses it as a pointer when speaking.

Confident... Leans forward, holding his hand to his chin. Often blowing for tea, confident and relaxed.

Listener. Holds the cup gently with both hands. He is always open to conversation and when the interlocutor speaks, he leans slightly towards him.

Now about coffee ...

Espresso - strong black coffee brewed in a coffee machine. This is a kind of "king of the laboratory" - it is on its basis that all other coffee drinks are created.

Espresso popular with realists, conservatives and extremely straightforward people. It is difficult to convince them of anything, making decisions, they are guided only by their own principles. But you can rely on them in everything. Fans of this drink most often prefer elite cars, austere style, and classical music.
Latte - a layered coffee cocktail consisting of espresso, milk and a little milk froth. By pouring in the milk froth, the baristas apply a pattern to the surface of the drink.

Latte preferred by people who love publicity. They have a good sense of humor. Most often they are the soul of the company and are very popular with the opposite sex. On a weekend evening, these people are probably having fun somewhere. They love dance beats, noisy parties and restaurant food.
Cappuccino - a mixture of espresso and frothed milk. For its preparation, espresso is mixed in a one-to-one ratio with milk and milk foam. It is the second most popular coffee drink in the world.

Cappuccino love romantics, dreamers and everyone whose feelings prevail over reason. Most often, these people have a kind heart, an open soul and value honesty in those around them. Many lovers of this perfectly balanced drink prefer to live by the sea, ride sedans, listen to high-quality pop. And they also have a sweet tooth.
Americano - espresso diluted with hot water or prepared in a filter coffee maker.

Lovers Americano rational and prefer to take everything from life. They always succeed, they are looking for the shortest path to achieving their goal, as a rule, they are successful. They love a bohemian lifestyle, fine music and sports cars. Such individuals most often choose housing away from the city center, as they do not tolerate the hustle and bustle. Or, as a last resort, a quiet, isolated courtyard.
It is fair to say that there are significantly more coffee recipes than four. What if your interlocutor ordered something else? Connect logic and analogy. For example, ristetto, doppio, oriental coffee - can be attributed to the espresso group. Viennese coffee- for cappuccino. A espresso macchiato- to the latte.

Among many professions, known to almost everyone, such as doctor, teacher, baker and driver, there are completely unknown.

Rare professions are tea master and tea tester.

Tea master. Tea master - there is no such thing in the official register of professions, everyone works spontaneously. A tea master is a person who influences the state of space, environment, i.e. this is the space administrator. A tea master must be able to brew tea, even such as te guan yin - black-green.ru.

Today, the development of the socio-economic sphere inevitably leads to a change in the range of professions that are in demand on the labor market. The content of some specialties changes, new ones appear and the names of long-familiar professions simply change.

Titester is a tea taster. It would seem that each of us is a master in this matter. But will we be able to distinguish at least a few flavors in five different types of tea. A professional tester, by taste, smell and appearance, can determine the type of tea, the place where the tea was grown, the season of collection, the way of storage and processing. Quite often they talk about the talent of a tester as a talent of an analytical chemist, perfumer, or cook. The main thing in this talent is exceptionally delicate taste. And this, as they say, is "from God." The ideal tester does not smoke, does not drink alcohol Moreover, he cannot even be in the same room with people who smoke, he cannot use perfumery. Titester food is very limited: no smoked meats, fried foods or spices. A runny nose is very dangerous for the titester. It is not in vain that the leading English tea companies insure the olfactory organs of their tea testers for millions, because they decide the fate of huge batches of tea worth many millions. The degree of profit or loss of the tea company depends on how much the specialist makes a mistake. In a typical tea-packing factory, different types of teas are re-sorted and mixed based on the test results. Mixed tea includes up to 18 different varieties, they are selected in such a way as to emphasize the main aroma, improve all other indicators. This tea is already on sale. As you already understood, not everyone can master this profession. It also requires a certain, rather specific talent, and even some self-denial. You can get acquainted with many types of tea in the online store of Chinese tea black-green.

In a conversation about professions, definitions are often used that put a particular profession in a certain rank or category for a variety of reasons. They say: this profession is prestigious (about managers, lawyers, financiers), dangerous (about test pilots, operatives, firefighters). But there is one category - rare professions.
What is it? This is either a very old or very new business, or so complex, requiring such a level of skill that very few people master it. Or the demand is small, but there is still a need for specialists in such professions. The names of some of them sound mysterious and incomprehensible: titester, pastiger, sommelier. The names of others, although they are of foreign origin, are very well known to everyone (for example, pyrotechnics, stuntmen, astronauts). There are many rare professions, the purpose of which can be guessed from the name: serpentine, glassblower, fountain, lamplighter, puppet master. As a rule, people know very little about these professions, because they rarely come across specialists in these fields in everyday life. Sometimes professions fall into the category of rare because they are too dangerous, and there are few people who are ready to earn money at the risk of their lives. This is exactly the new profession of stringer for us.
Teachers in schools do not talk about them, because they themselves can only guess about the existence of these professions. It is rare to find short articles and reports on rare professions in the media. What, then, do a glassblower, remuer, chimney sweep, make-up artist, clergyman, mosaicist actually do? The lack of information leads to the fact that only those who directly encounter their representatives can know about it.
Even those who often visit the theater and see actors, musicians, entertainers do not think about the multitude of specialists who create the performance. But any theatrical performance is impossible not only without a director, actors, dresser, but also without a very rare specialist - a make-up artist-pastiger.
When attending church, parishioners hardly remember that a pastor has professional duties and for him church service is part of his job.
Chimney sweeps are too rarely seen by passers-by for people to know that such a profession still exists. The chimney sweep and the private detective are perceived more like the heroes of their favorite books, and not like ordinary people doing their job every day.
How do people come in professions about which little is known?
How do they know about their existence? Many of these professions are inherited. Often, the children of a priest are ordained and devote their lives to serving God. After all, such a child grows up in a special atmosphere, and it is quite difficult for him to choose another path.
The "backstage" child can be mesmerized by the work of a make-up artist, and from an early age he learns the basics of mastery. The profession of a glassblower can capture those who like some extraordinary Christmas tree decoration. You can find out about the work of a glass blower or remuer on a tourist trip.
Rare professions do not specifically hide from people. Anyone who wants to do something extraordinary will definitely find something to their liking. After all, rare professions are chosen at the call of the heart. As a rule, people know very little about these professions, because they rarely come across specialists in these fields in everyday life. Today you will be introduced to several of these professions.
