Compound Effect | Magic of Consistency
First time the king played chess, he enjoyed it a lot and he was very happy. He ordered his ministers to bring the creator of this game to the castle. They brought him to the fort and the king met with him. King said, “I got impressed by your invention, demand me whatever you want and your demand will be fulfilled". Creator replied, “Give me one grain of rice in one square of chess and its double in the next and its further double in the next and continue this until the last square of the chess board and sum of all grains of rice would be my prize. King got a little bit angry and said, “I can give you diamonds and gold and you are demanding some grains of rice”. Creator said, “Thank you majesty but those grains of rice are sufficient for me. King ordered his minister to fulfill his demand according to his wish. After this order, management started to give rice to him. After some days, the minister came to the king and said, “King he was a clever person and we are unable to give him rice according to wish. First it is very hard to count these grains up to sixty fourth square. If we weigh grains in the middle and multiply it to the last square then the total weight would be around 210 billion tons, which is approximately equal to the whole wealth of this world. King shock and got furious because he felt insulted. He ordered to kill that clever man.
The main purpose of telling you this story is to elaborate the importance of compound effect. How this compound effect affects our success or failure. Now without further ado let’s go to the actual definition of compound effect. If we set some small changes in our daily routine and continue practicing these changes every day for a long time with consistency then after some time it produces huge results. When most people decide to make a change in their lifestyle, they practice for some days or months, when they don’t see any result or positive change, they quit. Never give up and always continue your struggle. Once Einstein was asked, “which is the most important or inspiring thing for you?” He said that he was inspired by compounding power. He used to say that compounding power is the most powerful thing in the world. Who understands this knowledge will earn and who doesn't will pay.
If we analyze our life, there are many things that we have included in our life without any good reason. Even some routines are really harmful for our life but we ignore them and continue with them. In the long run, we lost many worthy things in our life. For example, you are addicted to tea and you take five cups of tea every day. Suppose you take one teaspoon of sugar in one cup and as a whole five teaspoon sugar per day. Now you can calculate easily how much sugar you consume every year and how much fat you get from that sugar. On the other hand, if you start putting half a teaspoon then how much sugar you can save. To sum up, our tiny change in our life can make a huge difference in our life after some years.
In conclusion, don’t expect immediate reward for your small positive changes. Never think about why there is no result of your actions that you have done. For sure you will get reward for your hard work but you need patience and consistency.

Silent Killer
High blood pressure is a very dangerous disease and it is the root of many other diseases. It might be possible that you have high blood disease without having symptoms. Let us try to understand in detail what it is and what the causes are and how you can prevent yourself from this disease.
As we all know our heart works as a blood pump. Heart is made of strong muscles and these muscles contract and expand. When our heart contracts, blood flows into veins in the body and when it expands, blood comes into it from veins. It has two portions: one portion throws blood into lungs and another portion receives cleaned blood from lungs and then that portion contracts and cleaned blood circulates in the body up to every cell. Blood is like a transport system in the body and whatever the thing has to supply to anywhere in the body or bring from any part is done through blood.
When the heart contracts violently in order to throw blood to every cell, a pressure builds up in the veins. This pressure is called systolic pressure and its normal value is 120 mmHg. When the heart expands and blood comes into the heart, pressure inside veins starts gradually decreasing. The point where pressure is minimum inside the veins is called Diastolic pressure and its normal value is 80 mm Hg. This pressure of blood is present in every human. If pressure crosses the 120 mmHg limit then we can say that this person has a disease of high blood pressure. When the heart pumps blood inside the veins with a pressure of more than 120 mmHg, then this blood hits every organ with a little bit more force. In the long run, this extra force on sensitive organs starts damaging them. The most sensitive organs in our body are eyes, kidneys, and our brain. Even this high pressure is dangerous for veins of the heart as well. That’s why it is very crucial to control this blood pressure in early stages.
Now we will discuss why this blood pressure goes high. There would be many reasons behind this increase in pressure but I will share with you some common causes behind this problem. The first reason can be fatty muscles of your heart. If heart muscles get very thick then it is difficult for the heart to contract in a normal way and the heart will contract with more power which will boost the pressure inside veins. In short, if someone has a heart disease then he might have a blood pressure problem. The second reason can be your veins. Normal veins have a strong capability to contract and expand. If this capability gets weak and veins become stiff then they cannot expand properly against heart pressure then obviously they will create a high pressure on organs. There are many reasons behind the stiffness of veins. High quantity of cholesterol in the body is also a cause behind stiffness of veins. Moreover, smoking plays a vital role and leads to stiffness of veins.
It is pretty possible that you have no indication about high blood pressure disease and still you are going through it. Sometimes we get diagnosed with this disease when the kidneys start to fail or the eye side starts getting weak. In other words, this disease is a silent killer. So, the first thing you need to do is to get your blood pressure checked so that you can know about your situation. In most of the cases, this disease can be controlled without taking any medicine. You just need to maintain and improve your diet as diet plays an important role in your body. Moreover, stop smoking immediately and start exercising. Most of the time, chubby and bulky people welcome this disease so lose your weight. Try to minimize intake of salt because salt sharpens this disease. To sum up, lifestyle modification is required in order to combat this disease.

Am I a Greedy Person?
There are two ways to grow our intellect and it is completely up to us which way we choose. These ways are associated with our attitude and it has two types: earning attitude and learning attitude. You can analyze you and people that are in your social circle about what type of attitude they have and you have. You will find some people have an earning attitude and some have a learning attitude.
Let us try to understand these attitudes in detail. People who have an earning attitude always try to collect materialistic things. How I can earn all those things that can be bought from money. For example, if I have a small car then how can I buy a big one or if I have one car then why don’t I have two cars. If I have a small apartment then how can I buy a big bungalow? In short, how I can become the wealthiest person in the world. One thing is very clear here that I am not condemning that earning materialistic things is a sin. No not at all, in fact this is our obligation to earn enough money so that we can survive on our own and we will not beg someone. But, if our desire to be superior, better or to be dignified in the society, has a relation with those things that can be purchased with money then this attitude is called earning attitude. This attitude will ultimately fall you into anxiety, depression and jealousy. Your ego will hurt on minor issues and small disappointments. You will never be able to live a fulfilled life.
On the other hand, there is an attitude called learning attitude. A person with a learning attitude also has a tendency to collect more and more things but he will focus on those things that cannot be bought with money. For example, he will try to learn patience. How I can learn to speak the truth in every situation. How I can be an honest person. How I can win the hearts of others. How I can be a trustworthy person. How I can improve my language skill. How I can be a simple and gentleperson. To sum up, he will try to adopt all those things that nobody can snatch and those things will be priceless. They always prioritize utilizing their precious time to improve their etiquettes. It has been seen that those people who have a learning attitude never miss any opportunity to learn something. For instance, if they get sick, that sickness will be a blessing for them and they will always try to find the hidden blessings of GOD. Suppose that someone has treated a group badly, the person of that group who has an earning attitude becomes sad and depressed but the person who has learning attitude will learn a lot of things from that misbehave.
Intellect means, whenever we face any problem or challenge, we get successful or not. So, if we want to strengthen our intellect, the first thing you need to do is to learn the right use of your past and prepare yourself for the future. Secondly, try to shift your attitude from earning to learning. You can only achieve this by doing hard work on yourself. Without working on yourself, you would never be able to achieve it. Moreover, do meditation and try to find all those factors that bring you towards negativity and correct those factors. When you will start practicing these exercises, you will notice that your intellect is getting sharp and you will start paying more attention towards learning instead of earning. The best indication of a learning attitude is when you start facing less problems in your life.

Bitcoin Mining
Before coming to the topic, I want to tell you a story. Yesterday I went to a nearby famous electronics market to buy a laptop. I saw a great hustle bustle of people there and they all were purchasing computers. Shocking news for me was that they were looking for high graphic cards. First I thought they are video game lovers, that's why they need high graphic cards but after some time I realized they all are buying high performance computers to mine Bitcoin. Because of that experience I thought I should write an article about mining of bitcoin because this concept is rapidly getting popular in the whole world.
As we all know that bitcoin price is skyrocketing and it is predicted that in the coming years prices will double. According to today’s exchange rate, one bitcoin is equal to $57138.90. So, just imagine if you mine only one bitcoin, you will have a decent amount in your wallet. That’s why every second person is trying to mine bitcoin.
Let us first take a look at bitcoin and then I will tell you in simple words how you can mine it. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that’s why no government regulates it. In our daily transaction, mostly banks are involved and banks play a mediator role between sender and beneficiary. Moreover, it is a little bit time consuming process as the bank verifies each and every thing then after satisfaction money is transferred. On the contrary, if you have some bitcoins and you have to send these coins to your friend. In bitcoin transactions, no bank is involved due to its decentralization nature. A question might come to your mind: who will check and verify this transaction. Answer of your question is that thousands of computers are involved in this transaction. There is a block chain of computers as every computer is connected to another. These computers maintain a ledger of all transactions. These computers are actually mining machines.
Some of you might misinterpret bitcoin mining that we have to dig soil in order to extract bitcoin just like gold or coal but in reality this is not the case. Bitcoin mining is completely different because it is a computer based program. Now let us understand mining in detail. When a transaction of bitcoin is done from one corner of the world to the other, a lot of computers verify this transaction. When any single computer verifies this transaction, a difficult algorithm is given to that computer and that computer solves this algorithm. As a reward some fraction of bitcoin is awarded to that computer as that computer has verified a transaction.
Let us talk about the difficulty level. Total quantity of bitcoin is 21 million and 18.77 million have been mined so far. Only 2.33 M are remaining to be mined. A decade ago, it was so easy to mine bitcoin and your normal computer was enough to mine it. As only a limited quantity is left, that’s why its difficulty level is getting higher day by day. Now it is no more possible to mine a decent quantity of bitcoin with a normal computer. You need high performance computers that have heavy graphic cards in order to generate a good amount of bitcoin. In simple words, first you need to invest in mining machines then you will get some profit. Now in many countries, people are investing billions on mining machines as they are building mining farms. These farms have a plethora of high speed computers and they have strong configuration.
Now many of you might thinking that how mining is actually done. Go to your browser and type “bitcoin mining software’s”. A list of software’s will be in front of you. Just download any software and install it on your computer. Moreover, you can mine bitcoin on your mobile and many apps are available on play store or iCloud. These software’s will use hardware of the computer or mobile and your device might be heated up. That’s why heavy CPU devices are recommended for mining.
In the last section, let us understand the factors that are involved in mining. There are three major factor that every newbie should consider before jumping into mining
1: Hardware
This factor is really important because a major portion of your budget will go into procurement of machines. So think wisely before purchasing hardware.
2: Price
This is really an important factor because your whole investment depends on the price of bitcoin. In the future, if the price goes down then your whole investment and effort would be futile. On the other hand, if the price goes up, you will earn a lot of profit.
3: Electricity
Obviously your heavy computer farms will consume a decent amount of electricity. In other words, it is not a onetime investment to buy hardware, you will have to pay electricity bills and maintenance charges. Your machine will run twenty four hours continuously.
In conclusion, don’t rush to invest in bitcoin mining. First do some research and learn about mining then calculate how much you can earn by inviting how much money because it is too risky. Good luck.
I hope you have liked my article.
Thank you

Power of Thoughts
We frequently listen to words related to positive thinking and even when we find someone in trouble we say to him “Be positive”. But when we get surrounded by worries and tensions, we get into depression and fear. Even sometimes we blame others for those unfair happenings with us. Why does this all happen? To get it understood, first we need to understand what are positive and negative feelings.
Actually GOD has blessed us with a tremendous energy called thoughts. We might be shocked if we understand the power of one thought as one thought which is produced in one place of the world can make a tremendous change in the other part of the world. Humans have both kinds of emotions, I mean positive and negative. Now a question arises how we can differentiate what kind of feeling I have. The emotion or feeling that makes you uneasy or disturbed is a negative emotion because the purpose of this emotion is to disturb the feeling of any other person just to make him uneasy. However, you can analyze yourself easily and see what you are thinking about other people.
Now let us understand what is the source of this negative emotion? Let us first understand its raw material. For example, if you have some health issue and visit a doctor, the first question that doctor asks is your diet and he advises you to change your diet plan. Similarly, our mind has its own diet which are emotional thoughts. In simple words, we go through many emotional phases in our life and this emotional diet becomes our mind diet and programs our brain accordingly. The biggest source of this diet is information and we take this information by listening, reading and watching. If we analyze all the sources of information, we see that we get a lot of negative information from mobile phones, newspapers and social media. We start getting information by the time we get up. In other words, we start our day with that diet which will nourish us with negative energy. When we continue getting this negative information chain all the day and even for some specific time then our belief system starts accepting this. For instance, we watch TV series, movies, we read books and we listen to songs. We think that this is a source of time pass but we are wrong here. Our brain does not take it on a casual level, actually this input of information programs our subconscious mind.
You can minimize this negative source of information. Don’t take negative information from mobile or newspaper in the morning. You can read a wisdom book or you can revise some positive affirmations or you can meditate in the morning in order to summon positive energy in yourself. If you do these things for one month as a trail, believe me you will see a huge positive change in yourself. Your routines will be changed, your feelings towards others will be changed, and your relations with others will be changed. You will feel peace in relation with others. Your anxiety will vanish. Your introvert behavior will vanish and you will become an extrovert person and you will start to love to meet other people.
Nowadays scientists are saying that the effect of one thought is greater than the effect of a hundred mg dose on our body. A thought converts into feeling and feeling then converts into attitude and an attitude then converts into an action and this chain of actions is called habit and habits is your personality. The whole process starts from thoughts so take care of your thoughts.
In conclusion, assess your information as information is the root of your actions. Always think positive and try to spread positivity in the society.

Role of Mobile and Sleep in Time Management
The learning objective of time management workshops, according to western countries' paradigms, is to complete maximum tasks in twenty four hours. But I think our paradigm of time management should be a little bit different so that we can save some spare time after performing required tasks. This is completely opposite to western paradigm. When you relax yourself after performing required tasks, you feel happy and happiness is everything.
Second thing that you need to analyze is your twenty four hour work routine. Figure out where you are wasting your precious time. Apart from this, you need to see when I start my day and when I should start my day. My teacher taught me one thing that helped me a lot throughout my life, he said: always start your day at five am in the morning. Offer your morning prayer and do some meditation and exercise like yoga, jogging and stretching for some time. Assume you spend one hour on these things and most people go to office at nine o'clock so you still have three hours left to do some worthwhile things. In these three hours, perform all your works regarding reading and writing. For example, Read your emails and answer them, reply your WhatsApp messages, if you love writing articles then write, if you have to prepare a presentation then prepare it and if you love reading books then read books. By the time, when others start their day, you have finished your three hours. Only this step increases three to four hours in your life. But to take this step, there is a primary requirement that you have to go to bed at ten o'clock in the night.
On the contrary, most people utilize their time from ten o'clock to till sleep in non-productive things. Ninety percent contribution towards non-productive work is your screen. In other words, your screen time starts from ten pm to one am. You waste your precious three hour just to entertain yourself. According to medical science this is the worst time in twenty four hours to use the screen. When the sun starts setting, our body produces a hormone called melatonin and this hormone brings you towards sleep. It achieves its peak at around ten o'clock and this is the best time to sleep. And this sleep is called theta pattern sleep also known as non-rapid eye movement sleep. This is not a good time to perform productive tasks as in this time your body relaxes and your brain arranges all data in schema. I am sure you must have noticed one thing that when the sun rises in the morning, it produces white sun rays which are exactly the same as your mobile screen and these white rays produce arousal hormone which is opposite to melatonin. So when you look at your mobile at ten o'clock in night, it produces arousal hormones and your sleep gets disturbed which is really harmful to your health. When you go to sleep at one o' clock, this late sleep will not revitalize your body for the next day and at last you will take yawns in the morning and you will be unable to perform valuable things. So, a key point in time management is to hit the sack earlier and wake up early in the morning and minimize your screen time as much as you can. Moreover, always use screens for information and communication. Never use a mobile to entertain yourself because the playground, gyms and jogging courts are the best places for entertainment.
To put it into nutshell, change your sleeping habits and try to minimize your screen time so that you can manage your time. Moreover, by setting priorities to those works that will add value to your growth and by avoiding worthless activities, you can manage your time wisely.

Effect of Angry/ Stressed Parents on Child
The thing that parents should try to improve is their emotionality. Emotionality means that when we are going through a tough time or when something happens not according to our wish, the way we react with others comes under emotionality. Children always notice one thing in their parents: how much they are emotionally sound.
In a charged environment, When something happens which is not good and against parents' wishes then how parents react to tackle the situation is the important thing and it impacts a lot on their children. If parents react in an angry mood and become furious or they beat physically to someone or show an outburst of an extreme degree in front of their children then kids take it normal and record the whole situation in the same pattern. Children start to do the same in their lives. More they are emotionally unstable, the more their relations get worse with others in their adult life. Those relations might be matrimonial relations, workplace relations and sibling’s relations. It becomes very hard for those emotionally unstable people to cope with others in society.
Try to analyze yourself and ask yourself some questions: are you shouting at others all the time in presence of your kids without any valid reason? Do you have enough endurance when something occurs against your wish? If you get negative answers to both aforementioned questions then you are responsible for the bad attitude of your children. You are contributing and teaching your kids very badly. Try to change your ways of communication with others so that your kids fetch polite attitudes from you.
There is a famous proverb: if there are stains on the sun, then light would also have stains. So as parents if we have stains of anger, weak temperament, misuse of power, taunts in communication or abusive language then these stains would be more prominent in our children. So in order to prevent your children from this kind of behavior, try to correct yourself. There would be some psychiatric problems as well. Try to get yourself checked by a psychiatrist if you get angry on tiny issues. But most of the time these are behavioral issues and we actually never pay attention towards this matter that how we treat others. For instance, you are teaching English to your kid very politely and meanwhile you are shouting at your servant then your kid will record that conflict in your behavior instead of putting attention towards learning English. They will live their lives on the basis of that faulty conflict pattern that you have unintentionally stored in his brain.
When we are under stress, five percent causes of that stress are because of outside incidents and ninety five percent causes are within us because we create a story in our brain and become a character of that story and start behaving in the same way. Those parents who are stress free or at least they are not representing a picture of a stressed person in front of their children, are best mentors for their kids. On the contrary, a kid who always notices his mother that she always has stress and gets angry on minor issues and loses all nerves immediately then what do you think that this kid will grow like a normal kid. No not all, he will inculcate the same things from parents and intensity of this asset would be high.
In conclusion, a kid never perceives happenings from parents as correct or wrong, he takes these things very normal and tries to adopt the same because he thinks that this is the normal way to communicate. For example, if parents always shout at others, then the kid will think that being furious and shouting at others is normal and he will do the same. More you express stress in the house, the worse your children will be in future. So, be happy.

Do You Snore? | Reasons and Solutions
Many People have snoring problem and they are very worried about this. The worst part of this disease is that other people who are in the same room while sleeping get disturbed and irritated because snores are very annoying for them.
Scientifically what are snores and how can we overcome this disease? The first thing is that all kinds of snores are not really dangerous for human health and you don't need to worry about it. On the contrary, sometimes snores are symptoms of some other serious diseases and they are alarms for us so that we can get ourselves checked by doctors and combat disease as early as possible.
Let us try to understand how snores are actually produced. Air enters into our lungs through our nose or mouth. These two parts are then further connected to Larynx and Trachea and finally this Trachea is divided into two tubes which are connected to lungs. Air returns from lungs through the same path. If there is any hindrance or resistance in this path then it is difficult for air to go in or out from lungs easily and due to this reason we snore. This resistance can be due to any tonsil in the throat or due to any swell in the throat. Apart from these reasons, there is a very common reason which is obesity. Those people who are very obese, have large sized tissues in throat and these mussels get relaxed while sleeping and act as resistance against air flow in the breathing path. Even a fat person's tongue gets relaxed when he lays down on bed for sleep and this also acts as an obstacle for air flow.
You have observed one thing in those persons who snore that while snoring, air creates different sounds and these sounds are very similar to concertina. Eventually, a time comes when their breath stops due to choking of tubes and they get awake shockingly. This is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Sometimes this Apnea comes for some seconds and the patient gets up and activates his mussels and by doing this he removes obstacles and he feels normal. But sometimes this Apnea continues for a few minutes which is really bad for human health. If this period of this Apnea continues expanding then this can cause many severe diseases like blood pressure, depression and heart disease. Moreover, this patient has a weak immune system due to lack of oxygen in the body. Apart from this, due to these spells of Apnea your sleep would be incomplete. For example if you slept for eight hour, you would still feel tired because of these Apneas. And it is very possible that you can take naps unintentionally while driving. If your driver is obese, there are high chances that your driver can take a nap and you might have an accident. So be careful to hire an obese driver.
You should not ignore snoring. If you are not fatty and you snore with high intensity, then this is not a good sign because this indicates a disease and in this situation you need to visit a doctor immediately. The solution for obese persons is that they should try to lose their weight because this is the only solution for them. No medicine will work until they get slim. They should focus on their diet as it plays a vital role to reduce weight and proper exercise is mandatory.
In conclusion, if you are facing snoring then the first thing you need to do is to diagnose the actual cause of snoring. If you are overweight then reduce your weight immediately. In short words, take care of your health and put some mercy on your roommate as they suffer too from your snores.

What is Anxiety and its Symptoms and Treatment
It is a very common phenomena in our society and there are a huge number of people who are facing anxiety. By definition, Anxiety actually is a feeling of worry, nervousness or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. But I think anxiety is something else which is worse than just a feeling of discomfort because it directly influences your health.
Anxiety is a medical terminology and it is normal behavior of our body up to a certain limit. For example you are walking along the road and suddenly a wild animal attacks you and because of fear of being eaten by that animal you will feel anxiety. You can understand this by another example, you have given your final exams and you did not perform well in your exams and you are awaiting your result and meanwhile you are thinking that you would not be able to get admission in a reputed institute because your result would not be good. Anything which is fearful for you and you start feeling unsafe comes under anxiety. GOD has given a sympathetic system in our body which automatically gets stimulated and all energies of our body gets gathered to fight against that fear. Till now it is absolutely normal.
Now I will tell you when your anxiety crosses the normal limits. Sometimes this anxiety crosses its limit and becomes dangerous for our health. Anxiety comes when a person starts thinking that his physical and emotional atmosphere is unsafe. He might have fear about his feelings or position and that fear continuously damages his mental health. In this situation, if the fear and feeling of un-safeness is just his illusion then he will get anxiety. For example, if a person locks himself in a room and thinks that he will die because he is feeling unsafe. In this situation he will embrace anxiety but in reality, we all know that being in a room alone is not meant to die. At this moment, anxiety becomes a disease because it has crossed its limit.
Now a question might come into your brain: what are the indications of normal or abnormal anxiety? There are some physical indications like your heart beat will get fast. Sometimes your hands will start shivering and sometimes you might sweat. Moreover you might have a panic attack which is really dangerous for your health. Gradually the patient starts to avoid those situations and places where he feels unsafe and eventually the universe starts getting shorter for him. When he does more and more practice of anxiety, his sleep gets disturbed, his eating habits gets disturbed. He will not go to his office and avoid his work. He will lose his interest in his business and will make wrong decisions.
To overcome this disease, you need to see a clinical psychologist and he will decide whether you need a psychiatrist or not. Sometimes, a patient can defeat his anxiety by taking some verbal instruction from the doctor but sometimes medicine is recommended by doctors in order to heal your mental health. I will tell you some tips to prevent yourself from anxiety if it has not achieved its peak. In reality, it is just a matter of making yourself understood. You just need to train your mind so that you can get rid of your unrealistic fear.
Don’t allow yourself to be dominated by anxiety all the time. Try to continue your other activities normally. Always take care of your sleep, appetite, exercise and relation with your loved ones. By doing this, after some time a positive change will come in your life and this positivity will defeat anxiety. Secondly, meditation is the best way to mitigate your anxiety. Try to make yourself understood about all those things which scare you that these are not as dangerous as you think. Always ask you one question: why am I under a lot of pressure for those things which are not really harmful. Thirdly, don’t avoid those situations in which you feel anxiety and the best solution is, try these things at least once. When you will try, it might be possible you stop hating these things. For instance, if you feel unsafe while seeing cats, try to touch cats so that you can experience what maximum can happen.
Those who are facing anxiety, follow above tips. I am sure you will defeat anxiety and start living a happy life.
Thank you

Read This And Assess How Mentally Strong You Are.
Most people talk about physical fitness and they always try to show them a physically strong person because physical fitness can be measured and judged. Discussion about mental fitness was not popular because we did not have any scale or weighing machine to measure the strength of mind. Now in this modern era, we have enough research and development about mental health and mind scientists can tell us who is mentally strong and what is the scale to measure the metal strength. Today, I will tell you some points about mentally strong persons and you can judge yourself in the light of these points that either you are mentally strong or not.
Mentally strong people don’t avoid uncomfortable zones. They always keep themselves ready to face uncomfortable situations and they believe that in life, difficult times and situations can occur where circumstances will not be according to their wish. They have strong beliefs that if results are not in their favor, they will continue their life. So, don’t keep yourself in a comfortable zone and try to face new challenges.
Mentally strong people never quit their dreams even if they are extremely exhausted or frustrated. They believe in the phrase “Never give up”. They stop themselves when they achieve their target. Just take an example of vehicles, they have the capability to run fast but the governor of vehicles always limits them up to a certain level and controls them to reach their peaks. In the same way, the human brain also has a governor which does not want to bring us to the peak but we feel exhausted when we reach up to only forty percent of our capacity. If we do a little more work and bring ourselves to fifty percent of the total capacity, we can achieve whatever we want to achieve. So, whenever you feel like quitting your plan by thinking that you have done your maximum, this is the point where you need to do a little extra work in order to grab your goal.
Mentally strong people don’t avoid confrontation because many times in your life you need to confront someone. They never compromise on their rights and they always do a strong scrutiny in all matters of their lives. For example, you bought something from Amazon and when you opened your packet you saw that your item color is different from what you ordered. At this moment a normal person sometimes compromises and he avoids confrontation but mentally strong people always do confront.
Mentally strong people don’t complain. Weak people get diverted from their agenda by saying that it has this problem, government policy is not good, People opinion is not good about this or my financial condition is not allowing me to do this. Mentally strong people never argue like this and they always keep themselves focused on their targets. They own the position of their circumstances and they take responsibility and avoid blaming others.
Mentally strong people always take a look at the next step. For instance, you are climbing a mountain and obviously your ultimate goal is the top of the mountain. To move further, your focus should be on the next step where you are placing your foot. Therefore, mentally strong people have a strong planning and management to acquire their goals. Your goal without planning is just a dream which will never come true. So step by step movement toward a goal is key to success.
In conclusion, if you want to become mentally strong person, never underrate yourself and try to adopt all aforementioned characteristics so that you can be successful in your life. If you think that you have only one or two aforementioned qualities then don’t think that you are unlucky. Work on yourself and gradually you will be a mentally strong person.

Full Concept of Cryptocurrency
You might have many questions in your mind regarding cryptocurrency. What is cryptocurrency? What is the need of this currency? Will prices of this currency go up or down in the coming days? Will the government ban this cryptocurrency or not? You just need to understand five concepts in order to get your answers. If you understand these five concepts then you will understand the whole game of cryptocurrency. In this article, I will give you a comprehension detail about these five concepts. Let’s start with the very first concept:
**Money vs Currency:**
Till now you were believing that you have money in your pocket in the form of cash. For example you have a $100 note in your pocket and this is your money. Just assume, if the government announces that a $100 note will not be acceptable from now then the value of your cash money will become zero. On the other hand, real money is completely different because its value can’t be zero. Now the question might come to your mind that why its value can’t be zero because the value of money is stored inside it. For example you have a gold coin in your house and that gold coin has its price and you can exchange it with currency. You know very well that this gold coin has a value and the government can’t ban it. And more importantly it can be exchanged with currency or other commodities in any country in the world. Currency might be not acceptable in other countries but all these commodities that have a value inside like gold, silver or copper are acceptable in the world. Currency can be manipulated and regulated by the governments. Currency can be printed as much as the government wants but on the other side money can’t be produced according to wish because it is mined and mining is an extremely difficult process. Moreover, money has limited resources.
**Centralized vs Decentralized:**
Currency can be centralized and decentralized. The notes you use are controlled by the government. He can print as much as he wants to print and that’s why inflation comes into the country. In decentralized, the government is not involved in it. For example bitcoin, no government controls it and we can’t produce bitcoin according to our wish because it has limited resources and supply. Currencies of all countries are interlinked with each other. If one country devalues its own currency deliberately then it will affect the other country's economy. So, decentralized currency like bitcoin, ETH and doge coins are the best solution for the world.
**Fiat Currency:**
People say that “fiat” means fake. Dollars, Rupees, Yen, Euro and Riyal etc. all come under fiat currency. Few years ago, one government could only print as much as he had gold or assets in reserve. Nowadays, there are no asset requirements to print currency notes. A country can print currency notes as much as he wants. We all know about Zimbabwe, he printed huge notes and eventually huge inflation came in the country. My suggestion to you is that if you have fiat currency, just convert it to assets like gold, silver or property. By doing this the value of your fiat currency will not depreciate.
**Digital vs Physical Currency:**
Some years ago, people did not have trust in “Paytm”. They used to think that we are investing our hard earned money in this and if Paytm runs then we will lose our money because it is digital. People had faith and interest in physical currency. Now they have more interest in digital because no one can snatch your digital currency, it can’t not be robbed. Cryptocurrency is totally digital even bitcoin is not a hard material or silicon chip based coin. It is a digital code of numbers.
**Block Chain Technology:**
Many people say that we don’t have enough belief in cryptocurrency but we have interest in block chain technology. You can understand this by a bank ledger as we maintain a ledger of every transaction in the bank. In block chain technology, you can’t remove a single entry. People have their own computers and every transaction is verified by each computer on every stage. No one can manipulate this block chain. If an error is found in any stage, it can’t not proceed further. In simple words, every transaction is being recorded.
**In conclusion**, this is a very new technology and it is an emerging market. People have doubts whether they should invest in this or not. It is a highly volatile market. Same uncertainty was there when the internet came into the market and now everyone is using it. I would recommend you, if you are interested in cryptocurrency, first research it and then invest.

How You Can Improve Your Focus
I am sure you have heard many people saying that if you have will power then any goal can be achieved. No, this is not true because will power is actually a trap. Will power is just a quota like our mobile battery that is given to us in the morning in the form of charging. If you have charged your mobile 100 percent in the morning then with the passage of time its battery goes down. In the same way, a quota of will power is given to us in the morning and it is up to us how we use this quota of will power. We can use it wisely to do worthwhile tasks and on the other way around we can use it to perform worthless tasks.
Majority people have some problem with their focus. Many people say that we can’t focus and we lose our concentration and what we need to do in order to improve this. The reason is that many people keep their focus broad and they concentrate on many things at the same time. Sometimes they keep changing their focus from first thing to second and from second to third and from third to again first. Due to this reason they don’t get effective results. Let me make you understand with the help of an example. If sun rays are falling on the paper, it will not change the behavior of the paper because rays are in broad focus. But on the other side if you put a magnifying glass between paper and sun then all rays concentrate on a single point which will burn the paper.
The narrower the focus is, the better the results. You can understand this by this example if you try to catch two rabbits concurrently, you will not be successful to catch even one. The word “Multitasking” seems good to listen to as this word came from computers. But reality is that multitasking is really tough for humans even for computers as well. When you perform a single task on computers, they perform it at their best with high speed but when you try to perform multitasks on a computer, they get hung up and their speed gets reduced. We humans do multitasks many times and we seem comfortable while performing these tasks but reality is that our brain works on foreground work and sometimes it pauses background tasks. For example, you are talking with someone on mobile and meanwhile you have to cross the road, while crossing road immediately your concentration will be diverted to traffic only and you will put your conversationalist on hold.
One more important thing to remember is that when we want to achieve any goal in our life, we keep remembering in our brain about our year goal, month goal, week goal and day goal but we forget our “Now goal”. Actually, “Now goal” is the main thing which diverted your attention towards your ultimate goal. If we remember two questions in our mind we can easily achieve our goal. Which is the thing in which we have to get mastery? And which is the thing we need to perform right now. What we have to do right now to achieve our day goal, what we need to do right now so that it brings us closer to achieve our weekly goal. In short, in order to achieve our ultimate goal, what should we need to do? Many times in our life we want to be a billionaire by short cuts but we should understand that to be a billionaire, first you need to be a millionaire and for a millionaire you need to be a thousand-ire. So focus on those things which can lead you to your ultimate goal.
To recapitulate, try to perform one task at one time and try to spend at least four hours per day on that work in which you want to get mastery.

How You Can Save Your Money
Suddenly you feel bored and to overcome this nuisance, you go to the market to purchase something. Even sometimes you buy those things which are not very necessary. You spend a lot of money every month and finally you get out of your monthly budget. This is very similar to another habit which is craving to eat something. You open your fridge and eat something again and again after short intervals. Just to get your mood fresh, you do shopping. At last, you spend the last ten days of the month in a miserable way. This habit is really dangerous as it can ruin your financial health.
This whole process is consist of three things:
**1- Trigger**
**2- Routine**
**3- Pleasure**
In this case, trigger is your feeling of inconvenience and routine is your habit that you perform against that trigger and pleasure is reward that you gain in the form of excitement or happiness. From these three things, you can’t remove triggers and pleasure from your life because it is an essential part of our life. We can’t break our habit (routine) but we can replace our routine with something else. For example, if you are addicted to smoking, you can’t remove this habit but you can replace it with tea and if you are addicted to tea you can replace it with milk. We can get our reward (pleasure) by performing some other activity which is economical for ourselves. In short, trigger and pleasure will be the same and routine will be different.
**Solutions:**
**Invest in stock market:**
What you need to do is, just get yourself registered with some reputable broker and make an account in the stock exchange where you can buy or sell shares of different companies. This process is very easy and cheap as you just need to provide some documents to your broker and they will give you ID and password. Whenever your trigger gets executed and you feel bored and it pushes you to do shopping, rather than going to market to purchase just open your broker app and buy some shares. It will give you the same reward and same feeling of excitement and happiness as you get after physical shopping. While seeing the prices of shares, it gives you the feeling of window shopping. When you purchase it, your feeling will be exactly the same even more as if you just purchased something physically. By doing this, you will achieve two things, first you will get immediate reward and secondly when you will get up the next morning you will again feel happy because your money is still in your hands.
**Set your monthly goal:**
By setting a monthly goal you can save your money. You should save at least forty percent of your monthly salary. Share this goal with your family, friends and colleagues. When your friends force you to go for dinning or shopping, refuse them straightforwardly and even tell them that I have set my monthly goal and I am running out of my budget, I can go with you for dining but you will pay for me. LOL. By doing this, you will develop your saving habit.
**Automate your monthly income:**
Automation is the best way to save your money. You can purchase property on installments. Even if you don’t want to pay your installment, due to compulsion you will pay it. In the same way you can invest in different schemes like insurance policies in which you have to pay them monthly for some years and at the end they return your money profit.
In conclusion, spend your money wisely and don’t be extravagant. Invest your savings in property so that you can become wealthy in the future.

Game of Bitcoin
Everyone is talking about coins so let’s try to understand what Bitcoin is. I will make you understand about it in a very simple language and after reading this article you will be able to decide whether I should purchase it or not.
An article was published in 2008 that said every country has its own currency and we should remove the monopoly of all countries and there should be one digital currency in the whole world. That digital currency should be based on old customs as in the past people used to trade different commodities in gold. According to reports, Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto invented a digital currency in January 2009 and named it Bitcoin. Actually, Nakamoto did all these things with a fake ID so that he could protect himself from the judiciary. Before invention of bitcoin, he first discovered the features of currency i.e.
**1-** We mine gold and mining is not very easy so he thought digital currency should be like gold so that it would be very difficult to mine it.
**2-** Currency should be trusty so that people can purchase and sell it. As all we know that we trust in gold because it is a materialistic thing and the whole world agrees.
**3-** Gold is available in a very limited supply and digital currency should also be limited.
**4-** It would be easy to transfer it and you can perform a tiny transaction as well.
The currency he made was based on all aforementioned factors. When he launched it, people started questioning that it could be hacked easily. To prevent it from hacking he made small servers-like blocks and every block had a duplicate copy so it would not be easy for the hacker to hack millions of blocks around the globe. Just because of that block chain, this digital currency got secured.
He was a wise person that’s why he mined 1.1M coins before its launch because he knew that if this currency gets popular in future and its value goes high then I would exchange my 1.1M bitcoins with fiat currency.
Now the question comes in our mind of how this coin got popular. All those people who want to send their illegal money to other countries started using bitcoin because it was a fast and easy way to transfer money and eventually its demand started increasing day by day. When people saw that its value was increasing rapidly they also started to take interest in it and its popularity further increased.
Actually bitcoin is not a physical coin, it is just a code. The Bitcoin which started from zero now has reached sixty six thousand US dollars. It is claimed that, only 21 million bitcoins are available in the world and eighteen million have been mined so far and three millions are still unmined.
**How can you buy and sell bitcoins?**
There are many exchanges in the world from where you can buy bitcoins. Actually exchange makes a contact between buyer and seller. Before its purchase you have to buy a wallet in which the code of bitcoin is stored. There are two types of wallet, one is hard wallet and the other is soft wallet. In a soft wallet you can store your bitcoin code on the cloud. Now there are many mobile applications available in the market. By using these applications you don’t need to buy any wallet and these applications buy and purchase bitcoin on behalf of you and you can take your profit easily. The most famous application in the world is “Binance”. In “Binance”, you make an ID and link your fiat bank account from where you pay money to buy bitcoin and receive the amount when you sell your bitcoin.
In conclusion, to be very honest with all of you, it is very risky to invest in bitcoin because if something wrong happens with you while trading, no one will be responsible for that and even you can’t register an FIR in a police station because Government is not involved. Though Bitcoin exchanges are trying their best to protect transactions, it is a little bit perilous. Choice is yours.
Thank you

Six Magnificent Characteristics of Wise People
Wise human beings have these following six characteristics that’s why they are unique and more successful than others. If you want to be successful in your life try to adopt these six rules, I am sure you will be victorious in your life.
**1- They don’t want to take advice from others:**
Wise people always believe in themselves and blindly focus on their passions. They think that others' advice might distract them from their mission. Sometimes when we take advice from a senior or successful person, we get confused and sometimes we forget our own intention, resources and capabilities and we follow others advice and finally we end up getting nothing but loss. If someone gives advice to a wise person he just listens to that piece of advice and thinks for a moment that it is really useful or not and then he makes a decision.
**2- They perform their work silently:**
They do their work so secretly that sometimes even the left hand is not aware about the right hand. In this world there are few people who really feel happy for your achievements. Mostly get jealous and they start planning to put some hurdles on your way. So it is always better to keep silent while striving for something and let the results tell people about your accomplishments. In short, they don’t share their ambitions and goals until they achieve them.
**3- They speak less and listen more:**
Speaking is output and listening is input. While speaking you share your knowledge to the audience but while listening you get knowledge from others. It is very obvious when you listen more it will enhance your wisdom and understanding. Having good knowledge will lead you to success and it will raise your status in the society. Briefly, listening will make you skillful and expert so it is always good to listen more than speak.
**4- They don’t quarrel to anyone:**
Quarrels and disagreement of arguments are part of life. We all face such situations in our life where we lose our temper and we try to thrash others. Wise person always avoids such situations because he knows that if he does this and makes himself engaged in such activities, he will never be able to achieve his goal. He always tries to find ways to prevent himself from such situations and he focuses on his destination. There is a famous proverb as well “If you want to be successful don’t throw stones toward every barking dog”.
**5- They love their family the most and ignore rest of the world:**
Your family is a blessing for you, so wise men always prefer their family over the rest of the world. Only your family loves you without having any intention of getting benefits from you. For example when you are in hospital, only your family will be in the hospital to take care of yourself. Your friends, colleagues and other relatives leave you abandoned in the time of tribulation. So never ignore your family and take care of them as much as you can.
**6- They ignore unnecessary things:**
Wise people always ignore those things which resist them towards his progress. You have to be lighter as you can’t fly high having a lot of weight of needless and futile things. If you take an example of a rocket, it releases its lower part after reaching a certain height and further releases its worthless load after acquiring another height and only worthwhile part, which is the head of a rocket, reaches into space. Same scenario happens with humans as many times while achieving goals we come across many things that we don’t like at all but we have to ignore them and keep moving ahead. If we keep thinking about a lot of things, there are pretty good chances that we can’t reach our destination.

Four Rules to Live a Wonderful Life
We all want to live a peaceful, comfortable and successful life. In order to achieve these things in our life, we have to take care of four areas of our lives. If we improve these four areas, our life would be joyful. This research is based on my personal experience and if you follow it then definitely you will get a lot of benefits in your life.
***Be Conscious about investment:***
You should always be careful while investing your time, attention, power and money on different things and in this investment your emotions should not be involved. Sometimes we invest in those things which we like, and sometimes we invest when we become greedy about something. This is completely wrong. In simple words, emotion based investment always leads you to regret. When you have to buy something or to make a deal of a business then always think that this investment is emotion free. In short words, do solid calculation and draw conclusion before investment. Sometimes you invest your time and energy with bad company of friends just for temporary enjoyment which is futile in the long run and on the other way around you can utilize this precious time to do other worthwhile things. Hence always think carefully and wisely before investing time, money and attention so that you can get maximum benefits and prevent yourself from loss.
***Be a giver not taker:***
It is always better to be a giver than a taker. There are so many things to give to others like your attention, your kind words for others or your small money to help others. Being a giver will always make you proud, powerful and capable in your eyes. Being capable in our own eyes gives us a great confidence to take more actions for the betterment of humanity. Keep doing analysis of yourself, where you are falling and what your position is. When you go to your bed at night, think about the day and calculate how much attention, help and power you gave to others and how much you took from others. If you took more than you need to work on yourself so that you can minimize your takings and can extend your giving’s.
***Think carefully before putting your opinion:***
It is very important to remember that always think wisely before giving your opinion, statement or comment to others. If you pass a comment on social sites or on other platforms without having much attention, believe me you will feel regret after some time. Sometimes people take screenshots of those comments that are against them and in the future they can give you proof of your statements. You should understand that you are creating your profile on social media and it is being stored in data houses and it will be there after some decades. Even psychologists can even judge your psyche from your opinion and comments for others. However, be conscious about whatever you are putting/ posting on social sites.
***Always forgive others before prayers:***
Prayer is such a powerful tool and source to share our feelings, problems and demands to GOD. Some of us are found saying that our prayers are not fulfilled. We pray a lot to GOD but God does not listen to us. The reason is that we don’t forgive others before praying. Let me make you understand with the help of an example. If you did not clean a place and you put flowers over there then there are pretty much chances that you smell the stink of garbage instead of flower’s fragrance. Negative forces have more power than positive. So, clean your heart and forgive all those people who have insulted you or who have done something bad with you. Your prayers will be fulfilled and you will be awarded whatever you want.
