  The Master and Margarita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Master and Margarita (Russian: Мастер и Маргарита) is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Margarita's love for the Master leads her to leave her husband, but she emerges victorious, and doesn't end up under a train.
As a poet/writer, the Master is so unacknowledged that he feels more at home in a lunatic asylum than in society, at the mercy of the actual legislators of the world.

 The Master Language
The name, "The Master Language," is a deplorable one, as it would seem to represent a sort of cultural arrogance and today might disincline some to consideration of the language.
Another major advantage of the Master approach to vocabulary is that one has the entire range of the Latin lexicon to allow for many shades of meaning, facilitating its use for many purposes with less periphrasis or paraphrase than may be necessary in auxiliary languages with limited vocabularies.
Master verbs derived from Latin verbs wanting the supine stem, and those derived from the seven Latin irregular verbs, namely, sum, volo, queo, fero, fio, eo and edo, and their compounds, are formed on the stem of the present infinitive.

 Master / Slave Dialectic
The symmetric opposition of self-consciousness is now broken; it is asymmetric: "The outcome is a recognition that is one-sided and unequal." The slave is like a mirror that reflects the master; but the master is like a mirror that reflects only his or her own image.
The master wanted to be recognized by somebody that he or she respects as an equal, as a peer.

The purpose of developing a Master Task List is to enable you to focus more easily on those activities that really add value to your department, your division, and your company.
Each Master Task should be stated as a broad activity area; for example, “Manuscript Development,” “Copywriting,” “Travel Planning,” “Financial Review,” etc. Then, you should list three to seven bulleted subpoints that represent the specific activities related to that particular Master Task.
Assuming you don't have a huge important deadline tomorrow, often the best way to handle a to-do list is to have a less specific list of the general areas that you have to work on.
