Truth
As you grow older your perspective about life will changed. You start recognizing how much important your inner peace and you start cutting people that you considered toxic and not helpful towards your self improvement and growth. You start taking less pictures of yourself because for you some pictures that are worth taking for are the smile of your parents, the sunrise and the sunsets, the oceans, and all the beautiful things that some people don't even notice.
You start realizing that it's okay to slow
down —take time to understand what you want in the present and what are your plans towards the future. You start investing towards the important memories that you will forever leisure in your heart and memory and not those memories that you can only see in your gallery and most of all you stop looking for love because you understand that you owe yourself the love you freely give to other people because yourself is your biggest commitment. And I think that's the thing about maturity, you will understand your worth is not based on popularity, attention and achievements because it's all about how you love everything about you and everything you do.
Marriage
**Let's talk about LOVE!**
In marriage, 76%of them will stay together. Meaning that 1 in every 4 will end in divorce. It is because, we as humans are inherently BAD AT LOVE?
There are so many reasons why couples break up. But let's focus on one particularly important.
-
**FLAWS**
-
Each and everyone of us, in one way or another, has flaws.
🔸Some of us been scared from childhood.
🔸Some of us have a collection of unfortunate psychological traits like :anxiety, depression, or OCD.
🔸Some of us have destructive tendencies or bad habits.
We're careless, jealous, hot headed, vain or socially awkward. Not everybody has flaws extensive as these. But they all lie somewhere along the spectrum and at the end of the day, being someone's partner means exposing them extensively to your negative traits.
In other words, we are bringing an immense amount of trouble, into somebody else's life by agreeing to be their partner. In life, e tend to be shielded this unwelcome news, prior to a big relationship because of the way we brought up.
In our adolescent years, most of us are unaware of our flaws. Simply because nobody has pointed them out. Our parents loved us too much to tell us, our friends often don't critique our personalities and would rather unfriend us than tell us how we can become better and our ex's were too keen to escape from us than to offer us a detailed critique of our personalities.
And we're alone, we just don't notice how annoying we might well be in the eyes of others. Inevitably, a partner will call us out on our negative traits and it may feel like a personal attack. But in fact, they're just showing you a reflection of yourself. Everyone seen up close had an appalling amount wrong with their character, but it's not our fault!
it is just a HUMAN CONDITION
Although it is impossible for us to fully escape the flaws that were unwillingly placed upon us but we can do is asked ourselves, what might be slightly crazy, desperate, or underdeveloped in our own character after deep introspection, I realized that I can be way too jealous.
I hated girls who hug my boyfriend, I hate spending money and talking about my feelings is totally, utterly and indefinitely out of the questions.
Becoming aware of my own flaws has helped me understand how I can be difficult to live with. So now it's your turn to ask the question.
HOW CAN I BE DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH?
This self critique isn't to make you feel guilty or ashamed. It's to give you a deeper understanding of your own personality and to give you an idea of how you can be difficult to live with. Understanding and dealing with your own flaws is just important as dealing with your partner and it's a necessary part of a healthy relationship. And once you acknowledge the existence of your own flaws only then can you understand and contemplate, how you can become a better partner.
So what I've learnt is that humans is not inherently bad at love. Humans are bad at providing an unbiased opinion about their own negative traits which leads to bad relationship. So if you're looking for a deep, meaningful and lasting relationship, start by understanding yourself because only by understanding your own flaws along with those of your partner, can you build a successful, loving and leading relationship.
Filipino: One day MILLIONAIRE
Filipino one day are millionaires
MABUHAY FELLOW FILIPINOS!
Do you think Filipino are good with their money?
let's take a look.
Imagine you win the lottery, 10 million dollars! so you buu that nice house, nice car, that nice clothes, delicious foods, and go to some vacation to unwind.
Then BOOM! your money is all gone. You run out of money quickly without even setting up any small business.
Well, this is what many Filipinos are doing but using lottery money they're using their paychecks. And on the first day of the month, they feel like millionaires.
They get that bubble milk tea, treat their friends and family buy that latest iPhone and spend way too much money. They think :"I worked hard and I deserved this"
Then at the end of the month, they have no money left and no savings they have to wait until their next paycheck. In the Philippines, there's a saying for this! "ONE DAY MILLIONAIRE" and it's very real.
But why do you think so many Filipinos are like this?
HERE IS WHY!
In the Philippines, there is a lot of social pressure it is easy to see whats others have and whats others do not have.... So there's kind of this pressure to have fancy things even if it costs their savings and they do this to show off. But is reality, this took them months of savings and skipped meals just to be able to afford it.
Another reason is CULTURE. Filipinos have a saying :"UTANG NA LOOB" meaning that when you start to work, you have to start giving money back to your family and don't get me wrong, most of the time this is fine but not when you're living paycheck to paycheck because this means that you and your FAMILY WILL NEVER GROW FINANCIALLY.
And this is a huge problem for many Filipino families. So to all the one day millionaires our there, I have a message for you.
When you get your paycheck, save just a little bit of money every time even if it just 100. 00 every single month. I know that you've worked hard and you probably deserve the treat, all Filipinos do! but what you deserve even more is a better life.
A life where you are financially stable, A life where you don't have to live paycheck to paycheck. A life where you can save and when you have to spend it, spend it wisely.
Being in a ONE DAY MILLIONAIRE is fun for a day but stucks for a LIFETIME. And no Filipinos deserves to be living paycheck to paycheck and that's what's up.
The future of India
Can India become the world's next manufacturing king?
everyone knows that the iPhone in made in China but not anymore! because soon the iPhone will be made somewhere else, in a country that I think is the world's next **MANUFACTURING POWERHOUSE.**
In the future the iPhone will be made in India and because of this, a lot is about to change. a let's talk about the past. The iPhone has a lot of parts and they are manufactured all over the world. The battery is made in Korea, the camera is made in Japan, the screen in the Philippines and many other countries. And for years, all these parts were sent to China and assembled in a factory and then COVID-19 and manufacturing in China pretty much died.
A lot of Chinese companies are basically stopping production because they don't want the disease to spread and this was a huge problem, not only for Apple but for every other country that depends on China to buy stuff. So to solve this problem, companies looked for other countries like the Philippines, Pakistan and Mexico. But the most attractive country was **INDIA**.
The cheapest wage for a Chinese worker is $1 40 but in India it's $70. And recently, India started the make in India initiative to manufacture products and expand in India. Basically, making it cheaper and more accessible and because iPhone will be produced locally they won't have to pay the 20%import tax and this is amazing for everyone in India. Because now ugliness will be cheaper than ever and what's even better is that Apple will bring in hundreds and thousands of jobs to Indians that need it.
The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing in the world, growing faster than China and it's look like there's no stopping it. But India still has problems that they need to solve.
**1. Extreme Poverty**
**2.Sanitation**
**3.Over Population**
But with this huge influx of companies moving to India more products will be made locally and many of them will be exported around the world. So instead of seeing made in China the world will start to see made in India. This means more money and a healthier economy and because of that, they have a huge potential to overcome this problems and become one of the world's leading superpowers.
Indian's economy were going to explode! and they are going to become the biggest manufacturing powerhouses with thousands of huge businesses, billion of hardworkers and trillion of cheep products. And that is the future of India.
***Are you agree?***
BITCOIN : the Future of Finance and Money
we used money everyday, but we rarely appreciate its power and its flaws. say there is a coin that is currently worth of hundredths dollars but it is not made of gold or platinum or any precious medal. In fact, it's not a kind of coin that you can hold on your hand or sticking in the piggy bank. It is a digital currency which mean, it is only exists electronically and I am taking about **BITCOIN**.
Bitcoin doesn't work like most money it is attached on the state or government so it doesn't have a central issuing authority or regulatory body. Basically, that **THERE'S NO ORGANIZATION** deciding when to make more bitcoins figuring out how many to produce keeping track of where they are or investigating fraud.
**So how is bitcoin work as a currency?** or have any value at all.
Well, bitcoin doesn't exists without the whole network of people and little thing called **CRYPTOGRAPHY**. In fact, it sometimes describe the world first **CRYPTOCURRENCY**.
Bitcoin is a fully digital currency and you can exchange bitcoin between computers and a **WORLDWIDE PEER TO PEER NETWORK**. If a bitcoin is a digital currency, what stopping you from being fabulous wealthy? well, unlike the MP3 or video file, a bitcoin is not a string of data that can be duplicated. A bitcoin is actually an entry on a huge global ledger of A **BLOCKCHAIN**.
The BLOCKCHAIN records every bitcoin transaction that has ever happened and as of late **2015 the COMPLETE LEDGER is about 107GBs of data**. So when you sent someone bitcoin it not like sending them a bunch of files. Instead, you basically exchange down on a big ledger something like ***Michael send hank 5.1 bitcoins***.
Now maybe you're thinking, wait... you've said bitcoin doesn't have the central authority to keep track of everything. Even though the BLOCKCHAIN central record, there's no official group of people who update the ledger and keep track of everybody's money like the bank does **IT'S DECENTRALIZED.**
In fact, anybody can volunteer to keep the blockchain up to date without new transactions and a ton of people do. It all works because there's a lot of people keep track of the same thing to make sure that all transaction are accurate.
Now if thousands of people maintain separate the bitcoin blockchain how are all the ledger keep in sync?
For every transaction, you're announcing a couple the account of things to the bitcoin network :your account #, the account #of the person you're sending bitcoins to and how many bitcoins you want to send and all of the users will keeping copies of the blockchain will add your transaction to current block. Having a bunch of people keep tracking of transactions seems have pretty security measures. But, if all takes the same bitcoin as a coupled of bitcoin account numbers that seems might be a security problem. It's a huge problems as the regular money just think of the ways how is the criminals trying to steal other people credit card information and with bitcoin there's no central bank to notice weird going to shutdown fraud and look like you suddenly you spent your entire life saving on beef jerky.
Bitcoin are pretty safe thanks to cryptography which wide considered a cryptocurrency. Specifically, bitcoin stay secure because of the keys: basically chunk of information that can be used to make mathematical guarantees about messages, like ***"HEY THIS IS REALLY FROM ME***" when you create account on a bitcoin network where might call wallet, that account is link to 2 unique keys. The **private key and the public key**. In this case, **private key** contains some data and basically market it also known as signing it so other people can verify the signatures later if they want. in other words, if the **public key** works that's proof that the message was signed by the private key of someone and is something he /she wanted to send. Unlike a written signature or credit card number, this period of identity isn't something that can be fake by a scam artist.
The **WHO** part of each transaction is obviously important to make sure that the right people are swapping bitcoin but the **WHEN** others as well. Both the bitcoin and your wallet automatically check your previous transaction to make sure you have enough bitcoin to send in the first place. But the is another problem that might encounter sometimes,because lot of people keeping copies of the blockchain all over the world the network delays means that you won't always receive the transaction request in the same order. To add the block transactions to the chain each person maintain a ledger has to solved special kind of math problem created by **cryptographic hash function.**
A hash function is an **algorithm**, it takes an input of any size, and turns it into an output with a fixed size. The hash function bitcoin uses is CALLED **SHA256** which stands for **Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit** and it is originally developed by the **United States National Security Agency.** Computers that were specifically designed to solved SHA256 HASH Problems take, on average, about 10 minutes to guess the solution to each one.
Today, every time you win the race to win the block and add to the blockchain, 12.5 new bitcoins are created or of thin air and awarded to your account. in fact, you might know that bitcoin ledger keep by another hand _miners. When bitcoins where first created in 2009,they didn't have any perceive value tends of bitcoins would have been worth the same as a bunch of pennies.
***As of November 10th 2016, 1 bitcoin is worth of $708 so 12.5 bitcoins worth of $8080 and that is a nice track of chain.*** Every single bitcoin exists we're created to reward a bitcoin miner, beside the big payout when they add new block of transaction numbers are also tipped a very small amount for small transaction they add to the ledger it's also worth knowing that every 210 000 blocks the number of coins generated when a new block is added goes down by half. So what started as a reward of 50 bitcoins decrease to 25 then 12.5 it'll only be around 6 bitcoin in a couple more years, and keep decreasing.
According to current projection, the last bitcoin (probably around the 21 millionth coins) will be mined in the year 2140. So investing bitcoin is a good idea? now that's not really a kind of question. bitcoin is still in experimental period a lot of people love it and a lot of people is thinking that it will fail. Let's just think that this is an interesting idea and will serve us asa guide.

Asia's Durian War
**The country with the world best durian.**
Durian! a smelly, thorny word fruit! but did you know that in Thailand, people loves durian very much that there's a durian war!
But before I get into that, let's talk about durian. In the west, people often mistakes the smell for a gas leak or even a bomb. The smell is very powerful that in many places it's banned in public transport. And it's not just humans, some animals hate it too.
Did you know that durian had a nickname? ***"KING OF FRUIT"*** and there's nowhere that has better durians than Thailand. Thailand is home to the kanyoa durian apparently, the best tasting durian in the world. They taste so good that they can be worth thousands of dollars depending on their sizes, shapes and ripeness. One was even sold at an auction for **48,000 dollars.**
Personally, I have never experienced eating durian yet.But I'm looking forward to taste it because we all know that durian was rich in nutrients. According to science, eating durian can help improved muscle strength, skin care and even lower blood pressure. Thailand 's durian is so amazing that they are the number 1 durian exporter in the world and it's main buyer is the China. The Chinese lives Thai durians so much that they want to buy all of them. Last year China spent 1. 6 billion dollars on durian.
Even COVID - 19 couldn't stop the demand for durians while many industries took about because of the lockdown, the durian Industry in Thailand grew by 78%. Since the Chinese appetites durian is growing and growing, other countries wanted a piece of that durian pie! and that's how durian war started.
Malaysia, who's second to Thailand in durian exports stepped up its game to make more durians and expert to China to win the durian war and many other countries like the Philippines and Vietnam are also starting to export their own tasty durians. These is great news! because even though it's a war, it is a good war.
It means that during the pandemic, farmers, business and industries can still grow all thanks to durian.
***Which only goes to show that something that smells bad on the outside might actually be incredibly valuable on the inside.***
