Our lives are greatly impacted by the choices we make

Human agency is fundamentally rooted in the power of choice. It's a fundamental truth that, regardless of the circumstances we face, the external pressures bearing down upon us, or the seeming lack of options, we always retain the capacity to choose. We can consciously select how we interpret events, deciding whether to respond with anger, compassion, resignation, or determination. We possess the ability to carefully consider our words, choosing to speak with kindness or harshness, honesty or deception, encouragement or criticism. And, perhaps most importantly, we are empowered to direct our actions, shaping our behavior and influencing the world around us. These decisions, no matter how big or small, don't just happen; they build up over time, shaping our identity and ultimately guiding our lives. They forge our character, shape our relationships, and determine the trajectory of our destiny, leading us toward the future we create, one choice at a time. However, it is preferabl...

Roosevelt  "We may ...

How does one see the world through their own eyes? Some are rich, others poor.

A Jewish shoe manufacturer aimed to grow his business.   He decided to send his eldest son to Africa to explore the shoe market. He provided his son with money for a month and sent him to search for suitable markets.   The older son left and returned after a month.   The father welcomed him, saying, "Did you succeed, son, in finding suitable markets for us? The elder son replied. - It is impossible to sell shoes there. They all go barefoot. There is no hope for us. The father, after his words, decided to send the younger son to investigate. After a month, he returned. The father welcomed him by saying, "Have you managed, son, to find suitable markets for us? The little son replied. Daddy, there is enormous potential in Africa. Everybody goes barefoot there, and it is a wonderful opportunity for us. There is enormous hope for us.  If we contemplate it briefly, we will understand that the coin has two sides. It depends on which side you look at it from a...

You can systematize your business so that it functions without your direct supervision

 If you have a business, you can systemize it so that it runs without your active involvement. This method could involve hiring employees, creating systems and processes, and automating as much as possible. Once your business is systemized, you can earn passive income from the profits it generates.  Another way to generate passive income is to invest in stocks, bonds, and other securities. This strategy could involve investing in a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). You can also invest in individual stocks or bonds. The key is to find investments that will pay you regular dividends or interest payments.  If you have a blog or website, you can sell advertising to earn passive income. You can use Google AdSense or another ad network to place ads on your site. When visitors click on the ads, you will earn money.  Another way to generate passive income is to write an e-book and sell it online. This strategy could involve selling your e-book on Amazon or...

The 30/30/3 rule should always be followed when purchasing real estate.

If you truly have the opportunity, I recommend that you take it. But I recommend you really read a bit more before you put your money in. There are countries where property yields are higher. This phenomenon extends beyond individual states and encompasses entire regions. The determining factor is close jobs and excellent communication. Buying property is an option, but it may not be worth it if it doesn't earn money. I have bitter experience with such properties. The low price lures you in. However, this situation ties up your money and prevents it from being easily accessible. Always follow the 30/30/3 rule for buying property as a minimum. This advice applies to both personal and investment purchases. For me, this is the rule for a successful purchase, but I never use credit. The best thing is that if you don't have money for your property investment, you can invest in property management funds. You have the opportunity to invest a small amount each month. REITs are the best...

An Ordinary Person's Opinion About Cryptocurrencies

To be honest, my knowledge of cryptocurrencies is limited. I've perused some online articles and listened to the buzz, but I'm primarily observing from a distance. I comprehend some of the purported advantages—the application of blockchain technology and its potential to transform other aspects of the internet. It’s innovative; I’ll give it that. However, the fact that we still don't know who created Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, is a significant concern. In this age of massive data collection and widespread surveillance, how can someone remain completely anonymous? It just seems a little…suspect. Validators will control transactions. I don't really understand the technicalities, but from what I understand, it's not really decentralized. It's more like a parliamentary system. But a decentralized parliamentary system has its drawbacks, and it makes me wonder how those drawbacks will play out in the future. Who is ultimately responsible if it all collapses...
