I’m some sort of “astronaut” or “crazy,” or they might get scared of me, or, on the contrary, be inspired, surprised, and think that I’m some kind of saint. Of course, it’s great that a person can have such emotions, reactions, and thoughts triggered. And a person can also spontaneously make a conclusion and say that I’m “crazy,” right? But still, as I said, everything is known by actions. For me, “crazy” is someone who walks down the street without underwear, who is in debt, taking out loans, or promising but not delivering, who does strange things like shaving cats at night in women’s clothing — those are the kinds of people I consider crazy. And I say this not in an offensive way but with an interesting approach, because, after all, this is also some kind of system, something happened for a reason, which means there’s probably something, maybe some entity, living in that person, too — there’s that aspect. You understand, I don’t have that. I don’t collect Barbie dolls, you know, and I don’t comb them. So, if you evaluate it based on life, then I’m that person, just to make sure you understand, to draw the conclusion — everyone in my family, all friends, all acquaintances know that the one who always solves everything is me. So how can such a person be considered strange or crazy if I’m, on the contrary, the one who resolves social and material issues? I’m the solution to all problems and the way out of any situation, I find solutions to any situations, understand? I have everything sorted out in this regard. There’s no way that I forgot to pay for electricity, lost my bag, or that I don’t have money to pay my employees. That never happens to me. Everything is planned ahead, with 20 backup options. Every year, I rewrite my will, which outlines how to take care of all my things, all my animals, how to handle everything and continue publishing and releasing my books. So, in this regard, I’m very clear. If you want to know how people who are close to me see me, they would say I’m a super workaholic. Let’s put it this way: what do my relatives say about me? “Alex, take a break,” because I’m always working. Well, that’s probably what everyone says, that I just need to rest. They also worry because I’m alone, they all worry that I need to rest. On the other hand, they are also happy that I’m always doing everything, working, and that this is really who I am, but sometimes they worry that I need to rest. Well, everything is always clear with me. If I want to make tables now, I will make tables, furniture. If I want an island, I’ll buy one and make it a place for entertainment. If I want to stay at home, carve something out of wood, and write
