Kolya in childhood

Kolya is a very active and restless child who loves to play outdoor games. In the yard among the boys, he is a real ringleader and entertainer. His pranks infuriate adults, but no conversations and punishments can make the tomboy settle down. All adults can do is try to redirect the boy's energy in the right direction. By enrolling their son in wrestling, football, or a modeling club, parents will help him use his activity for development.


Little Kolya is an active and energetic child

Kolenka is a smart and versatile little boy, he likes to be in the center of everyone's attention. In order to once again prove his ingenuity and maintain authority among classmates, he is ready to take risks and violate discipline.

Due to selfishness, stubbornness and willfulness, the little owner of this name is difficult to educate. In order to develop in the boy his inherent love of life and instill in Kolya best qualities Parents need to be patient.

Kolya teenager

In his youth, Kolya is carefree, energetic, eccentric. He tends to commit reckless acts, because of which he often gets into various troubles. This guy tries to keep up everywhere and everywhere, wanting to achieve fame and recognition of others at all costs. Nikolai does not know how to value friendship, especially since it is very difficult to be a friend of such a fickle, straightforward and selfish young man.

In my youth, Nikolai was among my friends. This guy stood out for his incredible charm, the ability to captivate, infect with an idea. If he offered to go somewhere or start something, the company simply could not resist his vigor and pressure. Friendship he both valued and neglected. On the one hand, he was always ready to listen, communicate, discuss problems, and on the other hand, being carried away, he could say a lot of nasty things and absolutely demotivate. Now, as far as I know, few of his many childhood friends keep in touch with Kolya. However, it is still interesting to communicate with him now due to the versatility of the character of this man and his charisma.


In his youth, Kolya is eccentric and somewhat selfish.

The character of young Nikolai combines authoritativeness and sociability, windiness and resourcefulness. He needs affection and understanding, which he seeks in communication with girls. Many consider Kolya a closed and controversial guy. He is practical and pragmatic, but the actions of this young man often go against the rules set by society.

How the name affects the character and fate of an adult man

Boris Khigir claims that Nikolai is a strong-willed and purposeful man, inclined to work hard. He is resourceful and judicious, constantly generating ideas about extra income. As a leader, the owner of this name is strict and even despotic, he is able to oppress and impose his opinion on subordinates. In business, he is often guided by feelings, and not by common sense. If anything does not go according to plan, this man loses his temper. However, Kolya is quick-witted and able to admit his mistakes.

According to Mendelev, Nikolai is good-natured, serious and responsible. He sets high goals for himself, and achieves them with perseverance and endurance. This man is always true to his beliefs and principles, it is almost impossible to convince him of anything. Kolya is harsh and rude in his judgments, as he does not forgive other people's shortcomings.


According to Mendelev, Nikolai is serious and good-natured

Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima indicate that the energy of this name is characterized by mobility. She surprisingly combines sociability and peremptoryness, cheerfulness and rigidity, lightness and rigor. On the one hand, this gives Nikolai a contradictory character, and on the other hand, it results in the breadth of his views and the versatile interests of a man.

Pierre Rouget believes that Nikolai knows what he wants from life, and stubbornly goes towards his goal. This man is demanding of himself and others. He can be modest and delicate, skillfully hiding his true feelings. He devotes most of his time to work and business development, he practically does not have time for his personal life.


According to Ruget, Kolya is purposeful and persistent

According to Pavel Florensky, the owner of this name overestimates his own importance in the lives of others. Such a man considers it his mission to patronize those for whom, as it seems to Nikolai, he is responsible. As a result, he takes on his shoulders an incredible amount of worries, under their weight he gets incredibly tired, but he does not refuse responsibility. Kolya is not able to trust fate, life, or give other people the opportunity to act independently and "stuff" their own bumps.

Talents and hobbies

For Nikolai, fruitful leisure is important. He loves to travel, go out with friends to nature and have picnics. At the same time, such a man appreciates comfort in any situation. He likes to arrange parties and organize everything so that the holiday is unforgettable.


Nikolay likes to relax with friends

Nikolay's career and business

Nikolai is a strong-willed and purposeful man, able to achieve success in any field. The owner of this name works hard, but he can hardly be called a workaholic. He will not devote more than the allotted time to work, because in his free time he prefers to deal with personal matters. If Kolya liked the chosen profession and brings him a decent income, he will develop in this area, gain experience, improve and achieve new goals.


At work, Nikolay is purposeful and responsible

Such a man can become a successful businessman. Usually he knows his business perfectly, competent in any matters. But Nikolai does not like moralizing, he prefers to make all decisions alone. Therefore, the bearer of this name does not need partner support. Thanks to discipline and prudence, Kolya is able to cope with difficulties without outside help. Often his business flourishes and brings good profits.

Health

Nicholas is distinguished by strong immunity and excellent health. But the lack of proper rest can affect the nervous system of a man. Also, the owner of this name should pay attention to nutrition and refuse bad habits. Eating unhealthy foods and alcohol can lead to liver disease.

Nicholas in love and marriage

Nikolay is very amorous. Having met a girl he likes, he will not spend years courting and studying the temper of his chosen one. After a couple of dates, a man can make a marriage proposal. Kolya's life partner must be attractive, flexible, resourceful and patient, because not every girl can withstand the endless scenes of her husband's jealousy.

My father Nikolay proposed to my mother to marry him already about a month after the start of their relationship. Their marriage came as a surprise to many of my mother's friends, because most of them had not even had time to find out that she had a boyfriend. However, the family did not last long - the parents divorced a year and a half after the wedding because of the numerous scenes of the father's jealousy and his inability to control his own emotions.

Nikolay is amiable towards the fair sex, he is characterized by romantic courtship. Such a man is well versed in women, he is able to predict the desires of the chosen one. Kolya can have many hobbies, and he considers each of his ladies of the heart "the very one, the only one."


Kolya is an amorous romantic

The owner of this name decides to start a family in a rather early age believing that marriage will help him become more independent and mature. But that's not the case at all. Married Nikolai cannot say goodbye to the habits of a bachelor life. He still has fun with his friends instead of spending time with his family. If the wife has the patience to forgive everything to her husband, such a marriage union can last a long time.

Kolya is caring loving husband and father. He gets along well with children, adequately provides for his family. But he also has personal hobbies that help a man to relax and unwind. Stability and harmony in relations with his wife are built only if the spouse fully satisfies him intimately. If not, Nikolai is capable of committing treason. However, he will not tolerate such a betrayal by his life partner.
