How often we hear: "Come down to earth," "Take off your rose-colored glasses," "Look at the real thing!".

Those who in their attitude to life "head in the clouds", "realists" strongly condemn, or at best look at them indulgently.But is it really so bad to live in a world of illusions?Let's try to look at it from an unexpected quarter.

«Good luck to you, Mr. Marriott!" - This strange phrase that said US astronaut Neil Armstrong, before landing on the moon, spread around the world.Later at a press conference only Armstrong joked, when asked what exactly he meant.And only a few years later finally he told reporters: "Perhaps now I can not answer.The fact that Mr. Marriott died recently, and I think I have a right to tell.

As a child I lived with my parents in a house with a large garden.Next door located house where the family lived Mr. Marriott.Once, when I was ten years old, I was playing in a garden with a ball, he hits hard on it, the ball flew over the fence and fell under the windows of neighboring houses.Without thinking, I climbed into the neighboring yard, went to pick up his ball, and from the open window heard Mrs Marriott said Mr. Marriott: "Dear, oral sex you'll get from me when the neighbor's kid to take a walk on the moon!"

There are lots of people who wanted to become writers, actors, artists, musicians, and instead became teachers, librarians, programmers, accountants - just becausethey were led to believe that the profession - a true piece of bread, and enter the relevant institutions of higher learning easier.Often, each in their own attempts to subsequently frustrated dream - writing articles in the local press, draws "for itself", playing in amateur singing in the choir at the House of Culture ...
