The situation in particle physics after the discovery of the Higgs boson is discussed. Is the Standard Model consistent quantum field theory? Does it describe all experimental data? Are there any indications of physics beyond the SM? Is there another scale except for the EW and the Planck ones? Is the SM of particles physics compatible with Cosmology? New challenges of hadron physics: exotic hadrons and dense hadronic matter. Search for new physics, from the Higgs sector to dark matter, supersymmetry, extra dimensions and compositeness. What do we expect? What are the main targets? We try to answer the main questions and describe the key issues of possible new physics beyond the SM.
