Inhabitants of the yard kept the mouth shut. They less and less in the talks concerned Senya and friends. However, Senya did not like such a silence.
Not silence is needed, but respectfulness!
Senya instructed friends to buy a remedy for cockroaches.
When Senya and friends will start using this highly effective remedy, when the inhabitants of the yard will see dead cockroaches, then silence will turn into respectfulness.
The product was purchased and its use began.
However, discontent appeared in the yard. What is this remedy?! How to use it correctly ?! Is it dangerous for all living things ?! How does it affect people ?! Some claimed that they did not feel any problem with cockroaches, and a fight with them was not currently required. Naturally, no one entered into discussions with the doubters. Respectfulness is a deep feeling that is very far from doubt and discussion.
The result from the use of the remedy for cockroaches was not at all what was expected.
Instead of respectfulness, doubts arose, discussions, unnecessary conversations - that's exactly what the remedy was bought against.
Senya was unhappy and strictly looked at friends. Friends turned their eyes. In moments of Senya's irritation, it is better not to come across...
One of the friends carried out a skillful feint. He took the jar with the remnants of honey, and left it for the night in the yard, without closing the lid. Ants crawled into the jar. A brainy friend provided informational assistance during the use the remedy of cockroaches. He walked around the yard with a jar and indignantly showed everyone the jar with a loud exclamation: "There is no escape from these insects!" Almost everyone, to whom the jar was shown, turned away, not wanting to delve into unpleasant details. Of course, it turned out that the fight against cockroaches is correct.
However, despite the excellent invention (with a jar and ants), the opposition conversations in the yard continued.
So, the planned result was not achieved. However, one thing is a bad result, and quite another thing is the ability to portray a positive state of affairs.
Friends announced that the fight against cockroaches is combined with the fight against coronavirus, and continued to use the remedy. The inhabitants of the yard were indignant - but carefully.
In the minutes of rest, friends examined the jar and ants, who were crawling on the bait.
Senya - for the public - treated his friends affectionately. It is important to create the right image and maintain it. Someday there will come a time when the remedy will end, its use will end, the dissatisfaction of the inhabitants of the yard will end. Now the movement is on the right path from victory to victory. Senya noticed and appreciated the feint with a jar and ants. '"Correctly! You try! Do attempts!"
If you have owned the handle of a yard tap with cold water and the key to the garbage chute, then you, you want or you not want, have to use means from cockroaches, or similar means, and demonstrate the achievement of victorious results ... The logic of the situation and the logic of actions require continuous influence on the situation.
