A modern person should have a cool head, a warm heart and calloused hands. “Clean hands, warm heart, cool head” Who said the heart is hot and the mind is cold

In this article we will talk about what a cool head, a warm heart, and clean hands mean.

This is the motto of Russian officers, but if you dig deeper, then here lies the truth, which has been discussed more than once on the pages of this site.

A cool head is the mind, a hot heart is the soul, clean hands belong to the body. The great trinity, mind, soul and body, this expression of a cool head, a warm heart and clean hands rather characterizes the effective state of each trinity.

Let's take a closer look.

Cool head

To have a cool head means to have a sober mind that is free from emotions. This is balance, lack of panic at critical moments in life, cold calculation.

How to achieve this? You need to be able to develop a specific strategy for yourself that allows you to act in accordance with it in various stressful situations.

This strategy or system allows you to rely on it and not panic, since you already know how to act in various stressful situations.

This strategy is inside you and is brought to automaticity.

Warm heart

A warm heart still allows you to remain a person and not a robot. If we need a cool head in order not to give in to emotions, then we need a heart so that we can show love and kindness to all living things. It doesn't matter whether you help your grandmother cross the road or take in a stray kitten and take care of it. It's all kindness.

If everyone made at least one person happy for a minute every day, then life would be better.

Start with yourself. Believe me, the more people you make happy, the happier you will become. After all, this is all a boomerang. Don't hurt people, try to support them and help them.

If you put even one drop into the human spirit, that’s a huge shift.

Do good deeds and you yourself will become blissful. Do it and don’t expect anything in return, but everything will definitely come back, people like you will appear around you, who are also not averse to helping you when you need this help.

Clean hands

What does clean hands mean, it means not doing anything unnatural and anything that can denigrate you. Don't do any evil deeds. May your hands always be clean. Don't get them dirty and don't have anything to do with people who do.

Try to use your body and hands only for good deeds.

By combining all these three aspects - a cool head, a warm heart and clean hands, you will become a harmonious and self-sufficient person.

Revolutionary and head of the Cheka Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky argued: “A real security officer must have a cold mind, a warm heart and clean hands.” I have to agree with almost all of this to modern man. How to achieve your goal? What is a happy life?

Cool head and success in life

What a young man doesn't have when he gets up life path? Cool head. His actions are often guided by emotions, impulses, mood and momentary desires. When we are young, we rush from side to side, grab onto everything and don’t know what to do.

We create problems for ourselves, and then bravely solve them. We get involved in things we shouldn't get involved in. We start dating a girl who is clearly not suitable, and everything is going to end badly. We go to work where we shouldn't. We say things that were best kept secret. We ignore growing problems rather than solve them. We are slowly going down, but we stubbornly ignore it.

In life, most people lack wisdom, prudence and forethought. Why eat unhealthy food and then desperately fight it? Why drink and smoke and then complain about how you feel? Why get into a drunken fight and then get away with it from the cops? Why look for girls in clubs if the percentage nice girls Is it minimal there? Why go or stay in a job where there are no prospects at all?

Most of the problems in life are due to the fact that we never think a few steps ahead. We give in to desires and whims, and then we solve problems and troubles. A cool head would help us avoid many difficulties and soften the impact of inevitable disasters. Wisdom and prudence are good qualities, about which little is said.

Warm heart and success in life

In our youth, the fire inside us burns so strongly that we are ready to conquer the world. But with age, the fire and enthusiasm gradually fades away. We try new things less and less, hardly ever get out of our comfort zone, and never take risks. You might think that we are becoming wiser, but in 99% of cases the reasons are different. This is simple cowardice and laziness.

Adults often lack a fiery and warm heart. We stopped trying, taking risks and moving forward. We're just going with the flow. When was the last time you did something that was really necessary? You've stopped trying or you try too rarely.

What is the difference between a happy and successful person and a loser? In the number of attempts. Even mediocre people achieve their goal if they are very persistent. And if you have potential, then why do you just wait and rarely make attempts to change your life? Many people make more attempts in a year than you do in your entire life. Every day they search for their path, meet girls and engage in self-education. You lack a warm heart.

Clean hands and success in life

A modern person should have a cool head, a warm heart and calloused hands.

In Dirty Hands

Original taken from avmalgin in Dirty Hands

Well, Comrade Astakhov, you are an incorrigible KGB nit, so you entrust to the governors the fate of those dozens of children who have found parents and for whom trials are scheduled for January and February? But they are already accustomed to their mother and father, they have flown to them more than once across the ocean, the children count the days until they leave for their family (who can count), in the evenings they kiss their photographs, try to remember their smell, smelling the toys that were brought to them mom and dad from this distant America? They have never known parental affection, their mother did not take them to bed, did not breastfeed them, did not cuddle them, did not sing a lullaby, they do not even know what a pacifier is. Many were on the street only in the arms of these parents who appeared, as in a fairy tale. And before that, their entire short, unhappy life is a barracks. Are you going to come to them to announce that you and Uncle Putin did not allow them to live in a family with people who managed to love and accept them, with all their illnesses and difficult fates? Rooms with cheerful curtains have already been prepared and furnished for them, prostheses have already been ordered, boxes of medical nutrition are in the corridor, doctors who have studied their diagnoses are waiting for them, numerous relatives are waiting for them, already in balloons, with which they were supposed to arrive at the airport to meet, it is written: "Hello, Vanya!" "Hi, Nyusha!"

What would you tell these children if on the appointed day it is not their mother and father who come to them with a newly purchased stroller or wheelchair, but you, the security officer Astakhov? Or maybe you’ll lie to them, saying that your new dad and mom abandoned you? They changed their minds, they’ll take another, healthy one. What words will you find? This is your homeland, son, I don’t know another country like this, where people can breathe so freely? My heart would have broken if I had been sent there with this news. And your?

What did your Dzerzhinsky say about you and Putin? “Only a person with a cool head, a warm heart and clean hands can be a security officer.” It seems so? So: your hands are dirty, your heart is cold, and in your head you have a stinking mess instead of brains. As your greatest achievement, you present the news that, it turns out, those 14 hostages for whom trials took place in December, after consulting in your circle, you decided to release them. I remember these terrible footage from Dubrovka and Beslan, when child hostages, bending down, run out from the terrorists - because at some point the terrorists decided to release some portion for some reason of their own. And so they run, these little figures, through an empty space shot by snipers, and we think, will they make it? - Do you, Chekist creature, remember these shots? So: you and your Putin are exactly the same terrorists. And you captured not three hundred people, and not a thousand. And not even these orphans. You security officers with dirty hands and cold hearts have taken over all of Russia, you creatures.

Now go and sue me, offended virtue. Is there already such an article in your criminal code: “Slanderers of Russia”? Haven't entered it yet?

The activities of the politician, nicknamed “Iron Felix” by his contemporaries, evoke mixed reactions. Some call him a hero, some call him an executioner who knows no pity. Many of Dzerzhinsky’s statements about politics, economics, and the state apparatus are of interest today.

Childhood and youth

Felix Edmundovich was born in 1877 on the territory of today's Belarus, in the Vilna province. The parents of the future revolutionary come from an intelligentsia environment: his mother is Polish by nationality - the daughter of a professor; father, a Jew, is a gymnasium teacher. In 1822, Felix's father dies, and his mother is left alone with eight children. Despite the difficult financial situation, they try to give their children a good education. The boy, who does not know the Russian language at all, is sent to the Imperial Gymnasium. The studies didn't work out. Dzerzhinsky, who dreams of becoming a priest (Catholic priest), has only one positive grade on his education document, in the subject “The Law of God.”

In 1835, while a student at the gymnasium, the young man became a participant in the Social Democratic movement.

I hated wealth because I fell in love with people, because I see and feel with all the strings of my soul that today people worship the golden calf, which turned human souls into bestial ones and expelled love from the hearts of people...

He was arrested in 1897 for disseminating revolutionary ideas. After a year of imprisonment, in 1898, Dzerzhinsky was sent into exile in the Vyatka province. There he continues his agitation among factory workers. The frantic revolutionary is transferred to a remote area, to the village of Kaygorodskoye. Deprived of the opportunity to campaign, Dzerzhinsky escapes to Lithuania, from where he moves to Poland.

Revolutionary activities

Dzerzhinsky continued to serve the “cause of the revolution” by joining the Social Democratic Party of Poland and Lithuania (SDPPiL) in 1900. Acquaintance with Lenin's publication Iskra strengthens his convictions. In 1903, after he was elected secretary of the foreign committee of the SDPPiL, Dzerzhinsky organized the transfer of prohibited literature and the publication of the newspaper “Red Banner”. As a member of the Main Board of the party (elected in 1903), he organized sabotage and worker uprisings in Poland. After the Petrograd events, in 1905, he led the May Day demonstration.

The result of Dzerzhinsky's personal meeting with Lenin in Stockholm in 1906 was Dzerzhinsky's entry into the RSDLP (Russian Social Democratic Party).

In 1909, the revolutionary who continued his party work was arrested, deprived of class rights and sent to a lifelong settlement in Siberia. From the moment of joining the Bolshevik Party until February revolution 1917 he goes to prison eleven times, then into exile or hard labor. Each time he escapes, Dzerzhinsky returns to party activities.

Dzerzhinsky's statements show his frantic position as a professional revolutionary:

Let's rest, comrades, in prison.

Remember that in the souls of people like me there is a holy spark... which gives happiness even at the stake.

Dzerzhinsky became a member of the Moscow Committee of the Bolshevik organization after the February Revolution of 1917. Here he was engaged in propaganda of an armed uprising. Lenin evaluates Dzerzhinsky's personal qualities and includes him in the military-revolutionary center. F. E. Dzerzhinsky is one of the organizers of the October armed coup.

To live doesn’t it mean to have an unshakable faith in victory?

"Chief Security Officer"

The Bolsheviks, who won the victory as a result of an armed coup, came to power in 1917. The need immediately arose to create an organization that would counteract the opponents of the revolution. F. E. Dzerzhinsky was appointed chairman of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for the Fight against Counter-Revolution and Sabotage (VChK), created in December 1917. The punitive organization received broad powers, including the right to independently impose death sentences. After moving from Petrograd in 1919, the security officers occupied a building on Lubyanka. There is also a prison here, with firing squads working in the basements.

Dzerzhinsky’s statements about the security officers became his slogan in the fight against counter-revolution:

Anyone who becomes cruel and whose heart remains insensitive towards the prisoners must leave here. Here, as in no other place, you need to be kind and noble.

Either saints or scoundrels can serve in the organs.

Only a person with a cool head, a warm heart and clean hands can be a security officer.

The abbreviation “VChK” is one of the most famous names of the 20th century. The chairman of the department did not tolerate dissent. It is Dzerzhinsky who is considered the initiator of the persecution of the intelligentsia and clergy.

The philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev wrote about him:

It was a fanatic. In his eyes he gave the impression of a man possessed. There was something creepy about him... In the past, he wanted to become a Catholic monk and he transferred his fanatical faith to communism.

An idealist who hated the cruelty of the Tsarist secret police, fabricated cases, torture, prisons, hard labor, became an executioner.

I strive with all my soul to ensure that there is no injustice, crime, drunkenness, debauchery, excess, excessive luxury, brothels in the world where people sell their body or soul or both together; so that there is no oppression, fratricidal wars, national enmity...

The Cheka, created by Dzerzhinsky and his associates, over time turned into one of the most effective intelligence services in the world.

Administrative activities

In addition to his activities as chairman of the Cheka, Felix Dzerzhinsky takes an active part in the fight against devastation. Dzerzhinsky's statements are a demonstration of his view on the restoration of a destroyed state.

We must go and explain to every worker and peasant that we [Russia] need funds in order to move our factories, in order to have sufficient quantities of our own raw materials, so that we do not have to be as dependent on foreign countries as we could become if we build the development of our economy exclusively through imports from abroad...

I am not preaching here that we can isolate ourselves from abroad. This is absurd, it is absolutely unnecessary. But in order not to fall into bondage from foreign capitalists who watch our every move, and when it is wrong, they will immediately try to use it, for this we must work with all our might.

The result of Dzerzhinsky’s activities as commissar of communications in the 20s was the restoration of more than 10 thousand km railway, more than 200 thousand locomotives and more than 2000 bridges. Having personally traveled to Siberia, he was able to ensure the supply of about 40 million tons of grain to starving areas in 1919. By organizing the supply of medicines, he contributed to the fight against typhus.

Creation of orphanages

The activities of the Chairman of the Cheka as Chairman of the Commission to Combat Homelessness, whose tasks included the organization of labor communes and orphanages, deserve a separate discussion. The buildings, confiscated from the “former” ones, became a shelter for a whole generation of street children.

A huge task lies before you: to educate and shape the souls of your children. Be vigilant! For the guilt or merit of the children falls to a huge extent on the heads and conscience of the parents.

Love for a child, like any other great love, becomes creativity and can give a child lasting, true happiness when it enhances the scope of the lover’s life, makes him a full-fledged person, and does not turn the beloved being into an idol.

Economic activity

In 1922, without leaving the post of chairman of the Cheka, Dzerzhinsky headed the Main political management NKVD and takes part in the formation of a new economic policy state (NEP). In 1924, Dzerzhinsky became the head of the Supreme National Economy of the USSR. He initiates the creation of joint-stock companies and enterprises with the involvement of foreign capital. Dzerzhinsky is a supporter of the development of private capital in Soviet Russia and calls for the creation of favorable conditions for this.

Dzerzhinsky's statements about economics:

Currency is that sensitive thermometer that takes into account what irregularities exist.

If we are now a wooden, bast Russia, then we must become a metal Russia.

When we [Russia] build our factories and begin to develop our wealth, foreign investors themselves will come to us. But when we kneel before them, they will only despise us and will not give us a penny.

Okay, we [Russia] are a peasant state, but our yields are lower than in Holland, Germany and France. Why? Because, firstly, we do not have nitrogen fertilizers. This means that we need to create a chemical industry for Agriculture. Secondly, we plow with horses, but all over the world this has long been forgotten. We need tractors - but where can we get them? We need to build tractor and combine harvester factories, which means we need a powerful metallurgical base, which is weak in our country. This means that it is necessary to build metallurgical plants, for the operation of which it is necessary to develop deposits of iron ore, non-ferrous metals, and so on.

Exports should prevail over imports, and the balance for specific types of products and goods should be determined strictly on a planned basis. Here [in Russia] each trust and syndicate is on its own. On almost all issues: on wages, on restoration work, on concentration, on mastering the market. And everyone strove to use all their “happiness” for themselves, and shift their “misfortune” onto the state, demanding subsidies, subsidies, loans, and high prices.

Fighting bureaucracy

The Chairman of the Cheka advocated the fight against bureaucracy and reform of the country's administrative system.

Dzerzhinsky about Russia:

I have come to the irrefutable conclusion that main job not in Moscow, but locally, that 2/3 of the responsible comrades and specialists from all party (including the Central Committee), Soviet and trade union institutions need to be transferred from Moscow to the localities. And there is no need to be afraid that central institutions will collapse. It is necessary to put all efforts into factories, factories and the countryside in order to really raise labor productivity, and not the work of pens and offices. Otherwise we won't get out. The best plans and instructions do not even reach here and hang in the air.

In order for the state [Russia] not to go bankrupt, it is necessary to resolve the problem of state apparatus. Uncontrollable inflation of staff, monstrous bureaucratization of every business - mountains of papers and hundreds of thousands of scribblers; seizures of large buildings and premises; car epidemic; millions of excesses. This is legal and the devouring of state property by these locusts. In addition to this, unheard of, shameless bribery, theft, negligence, blatant mismanagement that characterizes our so-called “self-financing”, crimes siphoning state property into private pockets.

If you look at our entire apparatus of power in Russia, at our entire management system, if you look at our unheard-of bureaucracy, at our unheard-of fuss with all kinds of approvals, then all this absolutely horrifies me.

Looking through the eyes of your staff is death for a leader.

Iron Felix mercilessly fought the opposition, fearing that a person would come to the post of leader of the country who could destroy all the transformations and reforms of the revolution.

The ascetically modest Felix Dzerzhinsky is a “knight of the revolution”, an eternal worker who set the political and government activities in first place in your in your life.

Selected quotes from Dzerzhinsky can serve as a characteristic of the head of the state security department. He died on July 20, 1926 during a report on the state of the USSR economy. The official cause of death was a heart attack, but there is still talk of poisoning.

If I had to live again, I would start the way I started.

F. E. Dzerzhinsky was buried near the Kremlin wall. Soviet propaganda idealized the image of the head of the Cheka, but in the late 80s articles appeared that revealed some pages of his life and debunked the myth. In August 1991, symbolically, as a sign of the end of the era of socialism, the monument to Dzerzhinsky on Lubyanka Square was demolished.

Dzerzhinsky (1877-1926): “Only a person with a cool head, a warm heart and clean hands can be a Chekist.”
