How to understand a practical person. Practicality is the ability to benefit from any situation

Practicality is a good quality. Typically, a person has high speed solutions various tasks, focused on external reality. Imagination works in a certain given way, but it is characterized not by dreaminess, but by realism.

Practicality is always based on experience and serves as fertile “soil” for creating a career. She needs a strong will and hard work. Practicality is promoted by an inquisitive, clear, flexible and sharp mind. And without confidence and creativity, she is incomplete. It is also a guarantor of material well-being even with small incomes. Those who are constantly taken care of have difficulties in “cultivating” this amazing quality in themselves. First of all, this should be learned from nature. That's what practicality means.

Among the synonyms are: down-to-earth, productivity, efficiency, usefulness, convenience. The first three are applicable to people, the last two are relevant when describing qualitative assessment things and objects.

To people about people

The presence of practicality characterizes its owner as a serious, reasonable and far-sighted person. Practical people never buy unnecessary things or waste money. They are very economical and prudent, although some may call this stinginess and greed. Reliable, thinking with their heads and not with their hearts, they are characterized by rationality in everything. They perceive reality as it is, soberly assess the situation and make thoughtful decisions. Risk-taking and adventurism are extremely rare.

A practical person is a person who knows how to competently use all possible tools and methods to achieve goals. He organizes his actions in such a way as to do them as quickly as possible and with greater efficiency. Develop this quality in yourself, because even in sadness such people find benefit.

If we interpret the concept of malice as deceit and self-interest, then to some extent it is characteristic of practical people. By showing prudence, pursuing only one’s own personal goals, and using other people, a person realizes both of these qualities. However, in most cases, malice means mockery, mockery, and evil wit. Such a person strives to annoy others, to “hurt” and simply offend. In this vein, this concept is difficult to reconcile with the concept of practicality.

What does a practical person mean?

Vitenka is a simpleton

Someone who deals with something concrete, not abstract, and approaches everything in a businesslike manner and not from the position of a dreamer. A plumber or a plumber or an engineer is more practical than a clothing designer or a poet. Worldview-wise, this is expressed in the fact that a person has better control over his emotions, prefers facts rather than opinions, plans everything in advance rather than relying on chance.

Nikolay Isaev

A person who does everything exclusively for the benefit of the Cause.

This is what he means by the word “Business” and shows his individuality...

If by this word he understands the values ​​associated with work and career, this does not mean that in family relationships he is also “practical” and vice versa.

He can be practical in family and management household, saving and planning family life, but not practical at work.

I have never met people who could be practical in both places.

Maybe I was unlucky in life, or maybe they can be called by another word, such as “cynic”, “Careerist”, stingy”, “redneck”, etc.

It is possible (with a stretch) to attribute these categories of people to the word “practical” (in their own way).

Why is practicality a good quality in a person?

Because practicality allows you to clearly understand what a person needs in this life, what will benefit him and what will not, what will make him truly happy.

Practicality allows you to recognize the problem and find ways to solve it.

Practicality allows you to make the most efficient use of resources (time, money, finances, information).

Practicality allows you to grow professionally and achieve your goals at the lowest cost.

Practicality allows you to wisely choose a complete diet and moderate physical activity, which has a positive effect on well-being, etc. :)

Yulia Muromskaya

I think practicality is one of the best qualities a person, because it is thanks to him that a person can be successful in many things, succeed everywhere, and at the same time spend a minimum of resources. I believe that practicality should be instilled in children from childhood, because it will help to correctly and rationally manage not only their material resources, but also time, for example.

Is life easy for an unpractical person?

(+.....Inma

I would like to answer from the opposite...)))
What is PRACTICALITY? Here's what I found about this on the endless Internet:
What is she like, a practical woman?
The collective image of a practical woman looks like this:
- “She doesn’t waste money on nonsense; always knows how much money is in the wallet; up to date with prices for food, clothing, services, cars, apartments, vacations, lunch in a cafe, restaurant."
- “A practical woman does not have her head in the clouds, looks at things soberly, knows how to allocate a budget, and is able to make something interesting and new out of an old thing.”
- “Being practical means enjoying a well-organized life.”
Characteristic features and characteristics of a practical woman:
1. A practical woman always has food in her house. good table for guests (even if there is no budget at all).
2. A practical woman will not transfer the right to run the household into the hands of her husband.
3. A practical woman will not buy cheap household appliances.
4. She will not allow her husband to put new wallpaper on the walls if the plumbing in the house is leaking.
5. She will worry about holiday shopping in advance.
6. A practical woman will not contradict her husband when he wants to invite him into the house " the right people", and will even make "friendships" with the corresponding half of the desired person.
7. A practical woman will not work if her financial condition allows her. Extreme case– something “for the soul” without a strong separation from home.
8. A practical woman will always find a way to earn money at home (knitting, articles, cooking, the Internet - whatever).
9. A practical woman will always take care of her appearance from a young age.
10. During severe stress a practical woman satisfies her natural need more functional in shopping. For example, she will not buy an expensive trinket, but, for example, a computer, a washing machine or good shoes (depending on her means).
Accordingly, NOT practical mancomplete opposite stated earlier)).
To be honest, before this question, I personally had not thought about the ease or difficulty of life as an Unpractical or Practical person... As, in fact, about what IMPracticality or Practicality is.. . And now I understand: if Practicality or IMPracticality is HER (HIS) internal state soul, and a person lives in harmony with one of these qualities, without stepping on the throat of his song, then life is EASY for him. A person simply doesn’t think about it... But if practicality or impracticality comes forcefully (life forces you, and the people around you, those close to you...), you have to control yourself, be as circumstances dictate, then it’s not easy to live like that. Internal conflict arises first of all... And this applies to any quality, not necessarily impracticality or practicality. Happy is the one who lives in a state of mental comfort. For some reason I remembered Weller’s “I Want to Be a Janitor”...

It's me!))
If you believe the words of those nearby, then. .
..I live easily)
What if they are right?
I don't buy sleds in the summer. .
Someone will definitely give them to me this winter!
..but their color..as always upsets me..)

Oh yes, a comet... - Moominmama said worriedly. - The muskrat has calculated

Practicality as a personality quality is the ability to simply solve complex problems, the ability to have a good understanding of practical, life matters, to be able to solve everyday problems, to show reasonable initiative and efficiency, preferring in one’s activities what gives real results.

One astrologer was walking along the road and looked at the stars. He was so interested in their unusual arrangement that he did not notice the danger and fell straight into the ditch. A stranger passed by and, seeing him lying completely in the mud, said: “Friend, you must draw a conclusion from this: let the stars go their way, and you, in turn, being on earth, must walk carefully and carefully look below you.” legs. We must not only think about the future, we must be practical in the present.”

Practicality is the ability to be effective and prosperous. Prosperity is the basis of practicality. People, striving for prosperity, strive to be practical not only in financial sector, but also in the field of health, building relationships with people, satisfying physiological, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs.

People actively seek authoritative, practical knowledge. They are very concerned about the degree of their own practicality. Everyone wants to be successful, effective, and at the same time they want success to be moral and environmentally friendly, clean, so that there is harmony with oneself and with outside world so that he can rightfully consider himself a worthy, mature and holistic person.

Authoritative, practical knowledge allows you to solve complex problems simply. Knowing cause-and-effect relationships and relationships various phenomena and processes, you can easily cope with the difficulties of life. In short, you need to know which “string” to pull in order to complex problem opened up and became clear. In other words, practicality is knowing what to pull, what to press, where to hit.

This story happened in the last century. One day, in one of the English factories, a steam generator broke down. The manufacturer invited all sorts of specialists, but no one could fix it. And then one day he came stranger and said he could fix the generator. The manufacturer was surprised, but decided to give the master a chance. Carefully and methodically, he began tapping various areas of the car, carefully listening to the sounds that the metal surface made. In ten minutes, he tapped pressure sensors, thermostats, bearings and connections where he suspected the damage was located. Then he walked up to one of the elbow joints and struck it lightly with a hammer. The effect was immediate. Something moved and the steam generator started working. The manufacturer thanked the foreman for a long time and asked him to send an invoice detailing all types of work. This is what was written on the bill: For ten minutes of tapping - 1 pound. Knowing where to hit costs £9,999. Total: 10,000 pounds. This is practicality.

In India, a small boy pulls a huge buffalo out of a lake using a thin rope. And the rope is tied to the ring in the nose. The multi-ton buffalo obediently follows the boy. The boy knows where to tie the rope. This is practicality. No wonder Paul Lafargue wrote: “A cool mind, prudence and practicality, a look that amazes with its calmness - these are the traits that distinguish a real man.”

A person communicates with elders, equals and juniors. Senior is considered to be the one who is older than us in age, education, administrative position, in terms of professionalism, etc. Equals are those who go through the trials of life with us in the same harness. Philosopher Vyacheslav Ruzov says: “This may be different ages, different position, something else. But if we go through the same tests, we are equal, we are in the same boat. And someone who goes through the same tests can help us in a very practical way. And the elder can no longer help like that. The older one will be less practical for us. He can give us a way. He gives us a path, some kind of beacon. But he who is equal, he can row.

Therefore, practicality comes from communicating with peers. That is, communication with peers brings a practical solution to our problems. Communication with elders gives theoretical solution our problems. Communication with peers gives practical solution our problems. Therefore, conceptually, we solve our problems quickly if we can communicate with peers. This is a separate category... Very practical - communication with peers... What someone did is very practical. If you can’t make some kind of dumpling or crouton, everything falls apart. You saw a man, he feeds you this crouton or dumpling: - Listen, what are you adding? He says: this is it. It's clear. We tried it and it worked. What's the problem? Those. this practicality is very effective. When a person actually does this every day, then it’s possible simple advice solve this situation, simple! There's no big philosophy, no grand theory. It's just that people are already doing it. He just knows how it all ends. He's already doing it. Therefore, because you are in the same situation, he simply gives advice: do this, and that’s all. He says: is everything clear? This is practicality. Therefore, if a person is already doing this, yes. If he does something stupid, don't do it. You need to be reasonable. Therefore, if a mother says that she calms the child by adding beer to his milk. Maybe you shouldn't use this advice. There are such mothers. But I still hope that we are reasonable and will not take such advice. Right? But if, indeed, everything is practical, why not apply it?

Studying the properties of practicality, Anatoly Len highlighted the following nuances: “A practical person is able to turn everything to his advantage - even losses and betrayal. Acting practically is the rule common sense. A practical person knows a lot about everything, will find a way out in any situation, he is grounded in reality. Fantasizing and fascination with higher matters are an obstacle to practicality. Practicalism is not a friend to illusions; it cannot be overcome by empty ideas; it does not fly in the clouds.”

Practicality says: - Trust, but verify! You always need to analyze, compare, compare, try, observe the development process, and use your mind wisely. This is practicality.

Practicality is the ability to see several steps ahead. Terry Pratchett writes: “If you kill merchants, if you rob too much, they will not come back. It will turn out stupid. And if we let them go, they will get rich again - and our sons will rob them. That's wise. - Hmmm... that is, everything is as in agriculture? - said Vimes. - Right! But if merchants are planted in the ground, they don’t grow very well.”

Practicality: the father had three sons. And they rented out their apartments...

Practicality in family relationships:

He always blew away a speck of dust from his wife,
And there was a reason for this for sure -
Well, you must admit that it’s half
Much easier to carry...

Practicality can be in demand even at a wedding. One student was preparing for a wedding. Out of compassion for the poor, she persuaded her parents to act contrary to generally accepted rules. It was announced that at the banquet the poor guests would sit at the head of the table, and the rich ones at the door. The girl looked at the Master, expecting to see approval in his eyes. After thinking a little, the Master said:
- This is a very unwise decision. No one will be happy about such a wedding. Your parents will be embarrassed, rich guests will feel insulted, and poor people will go hungry because they will feel awkward being in front of everyone.
