Не позволяй душе лениться
Не позволяй душе лениться!
Чтоб в ступе воду не толочь,
Душа обязана трудиться
И день и ночь, и день и ночь! 

Гони ее от дома к дому,
Тащи с этапа на этап,
По пустырю, по бурелому
Через сугроб, через ухаб!

Не разрешай ей спать в постели
При свете утренней звезды,
Держи лентяйку в черном теле
И не снимай с нее узды!

Коль дать ей вздумаешь поблажку,
Освобождая от работ,
Она последнюю рубашку
С тебя без жалости сорвет.

А ты хватай ее за плечи,
Учи и мучай дотемна,
Чтоб жить с тобой по-человечьи
Училась заново она.

Она рабыня и царица,
Она работница и дочь,
Она обязана трудиться
И день и ночь, и день и ночь!

Have you been promoted at work for your great ideas? 

While we all have good ideas, sadly, most of them never see the light of day. People keep their ideas to themselves for many reasons. Perhaps they don’t like speaking up in meetings or feel overburdened by work and don’t want to invite more work. Maybe they’ve brought up ideas at work before, and others didn’t seem interested or even discouraged them. After all, most people don’t recognize the potential of an idea at first.

But of course, we all benefit from good ideas. In the workplace, they can lead to the creation of entirely new products and services, an easier way to do something, time saved, or countless other benefits.

Tune in to this episode of the Express to Impress podcast to find out how to present ideas successfully.  You’ll advance your career in no time!

Everyone has their preferred way of drinking coffee. Maybe you like yours black, or maybe you prefer a bit of sugar in it.

But have you ever tried drinking coffee with salt?

Adding a pinch of salt to your cup of coffee is said to make it taste less bitter.

And putting salt in coffee isn't new. In some countries, such as Turkey and Hungary, people have done this for years.

But a cafe in Vietnam is believed to have started the newest trend — salt coffee.

It's a little different from just putting salt in your coffee, though. Salt coffee is said to have come from a small cafe in Hue ("hwEH"), a city in central Vietnam.

The cafe's name, Ca Phe Muoi, is also the name of the drink, since ca phe means "coffee" and muoi means "salt" in Vietnamese.

Salt coffee is made by mixing sweet condensed milk with a base of Vietnamese coffee, and adding salted cream to the top.

The cafe's owners hoped this unique drink would bring in more customers, and it did.

"In Hue, salt coffee became a daily drink like black coffee or white coffee," the cafe's owners told CNN Travel in June.

And it wasn't just in Hue where people fell in love with salt coffee — the cafe's website sells bottles of it to send around the country, and now Starbucks even sells its own version of salt coffee.

Vietnam is one of the world's largest coffee growers, and has a rich coffee culture.

Salt coffee is just one of many unique Vietnamese coffee drinks.

Others include egg coffee (which has a topping of egg yolks and condensed milk), coconut coffee, and yogurt coffee.
