Discussing life and criticizing people aka gossips. They can be pretty bad for you in the long term. Avoid doing gossips about someone's life - good or bad. Avoid gossips of money earned or spent by someone. When you make a habit of avoiding the gossips, you get habit of less drama. More you choose to have less drama, the better for you in the long term. Your mental state and the positive vibes will thank you for the same.

Crypto market in everything is going slow and red. What can be done in this case? Make sure to write more. If you can build more SP, HP on platforms with upvotes then do it. As for BCH, continue to HODL more. What is your plan in the dip? Are you planning something or following some plan?
Channels, I created one for myself. As you know I write a lot about the productivity, thinking, minimalism. I thought I should club some of my those posts there for anyone to read. You can check it here: https://noise.cash/c/productivity-hacks-rglr551x
China BAN caused the Cryptocurrency DIP. https://twitter.com/CoinDesk/status/1394673194326429699 Ironically binance is owned by South Korea and Chinese investors. Alibaba and few payment gateways which accept crypto are chinese. I am surprised at the BAN on the crypto by china. I thought they were the final boss that were using the crypto to take over the world. It seems at it's current state even china is vulnerable for world govt concept internally. Don't worry about DIP,…
10 Minute Rule I have posted about this rule a bit differently. This rule is about finding your focus with some tasks which finish in short time. If you find yourself lacking focus or having issues with focus, then this is the rule to go for. Make sure to keep your focus and do things in 10 minutes. That's it. No more. No less than 10 minutes. This practice would get you organized on a lot of things. Try it. You will improve on your tasks which you often ignore. This habit…
New Day. New things to do. New action step: Do not ask celebrity or Rich people to endorse your coin on twitter. If they endorse your coin, they would manipulate entire market like Elon musk did. Thursday is here. We have to do different things to get different output from our efforts. Hope your days goes well!
All or Nothing? When it comes to writing a lot of people think they should write good or not at all. This is a recipe for the procrastination and excuse to not write anything at all. You have to write something instead of not writing at all. Road to the better writing comes from writing something. The mindset of all or nothing is hustling and in some cases appreciated. However for something like writing, that mindset can backfire and leads to disappointment. Make sure to put…
Taking Punch on Face for Growth? When we start writing we have to learn to take punch. People are going to disagree with us, no matter how good we get. I remember I got comment on my 7 year old post on Medium. Comment "First learn to write in better English before you preach productivity". That was 7 years back. The person who wrote that comment was neither writer nor constructive in any way. Should you care for such criticism then? Not at all. Remember it should either…
Investing into Crypto that has a Use case? If you are NOT Elon follower & invest into DEFI, then Polygon is worth checking out. It's a platform token based on ERC and is kind of like polkadot inside ETH ecosystem. It's also one of the top 20 coin on Coingecko.
Asking for Advice People ask for advice even before they start. They ask about start, mid and the end. All of the advice they take then becomes visual memory. In order to ask for advice, you have to take some actions. You move 2 steps, find failure then you ask for advice. You don't ask for advice by sitting in a couch. That would defeat the benefit of advice. Know when to ask for the advice. Know when not to take advice.
1 month of daily pomegranate juice, coconut water and fiber rich food. 1 month of no chicken or seafood or anything non-veg. Switching to healthy routine these days. How is your work from home diet has been going on?
When we get into habit of taking action, we see a lot of opportunities. You will never see an opportunity when you compare yourself with others. You will never see an opportunity when you sit on couch to watch netflix or TV. You will never see an opportunity when you just browse the internet for timepass. You will never see an opportunity when you to give excuse of your life. Life goes on in a better flow when we take action. So always keep moving ahead.
Some people are too much pushy. Your silence is treated as approval. Silence is treated for weakness. Silence is treated as a sign for you won't resist. They keep on asking you to do this and that. If you break silence and yell at them or get angry, they label you as toxic or negative. To break out of this cycle, stop being silent and learn to say NO. Learn to avoid being silent and build your aura that people don't manipulate you.
When you have not tasted success. Life kind of feels like hiding in a cave. You have a lot of expectations from your own self. And you see a lot of people getting successful around you. Even people who are younger and too much older are successful. It starts to make you feel like "competitor anxiety". In order to get out of that feeling, learn to document what you do. By documenting what you do, you remove the anxiety of lack of action from your head.
We take easy road. Easy road, means small benefits, small risks. We take difficult road. Difficult road means, more opportunities, more reward. If only this were to be true. Sometimes easy road has the rewards too. It's just that easy road does not have the morally right outcomes. Sometimes easy and difficult road has different outcomes based on morality.
There are people who don't require any form of accountability. Then there are people who require accountability for small things. I am one of those people who neither fit into the one. I have like on-off switch for the accountability. Some of the time consistency is what removes the need of the accountability. How does it work for you?
There are two ways people protect their own life. Some people when you meet them tell you how their life is worst, to hide their success. Some people when you meet them use ego and arrogance to keep distance. Both of these methods are for protecting success and setting some distance from people. However both of these methods internally damage you. So the right approach in such case is being assertive towards the life and dealing with people. I may cover the assertive…
When you are invested into crypto for spending your time online, it's not really a loss. Instead of wasting time on whatsapp and facebook, you earn crypto. If that crypto goes to dip or spike, all is in your favor. Hold onto your crypto. Let is all go bailout. Bitcoin will continue to exist. We continue to invest into new and old coins. Focus on earning more coins and tie your goals with coin volume. Once market corrects itself, start selling as you need requires it. Don't…
My grandpa always used to say - "Be so much strong, you never get tired of trying". As much good as it sounds, eventually we are all humans and burn out. Being consistent and not getting burn out is not an easy thing. As we age ahead we realized the power of rest and taking some break. It's okay to hustle but not okay to avoiding rest. Rest has a strong position in our place of life. Never ignore rest. Without rest even winning war wont be beneficial.
Raw guava and juice of the Guava. I have been consuming the guava every alternative day. I heard it's good for health, for blood pressure, and for stomach. Do you like guava?
Dalgona Coffee with Cream. I did it because there was a trend on instagram about the dalgona coffee.
Not so much Progress on HIVE tokens this week. By the end of Friday, this is my stats. I have to alternatively post on readcash and leofinance on regular basis it seems. I hope to learn about another token named Utopis and ENGAGE.
Today I did something different. A man was bothering me by trying to talk to me everyday when I went to grocery. He was kind of pushy and forcing conversation even if I didn't want it. For some reason I got a lot of negative vibes out of this person. I went to grocery store today and completely ignored all his attempts to talk to me. He became silent after all his attempts. I paid for my grocery and only talked to shop owner who got the hint about it too. Sometimes you have…
Make sure your appear assertive to people. If you appear too much positive the negativity comes to you to play. If you appear negative then positive people will put up some distance. Being assertive is a good practice to handle people the way you want them to. It takes a lot of practice and inner courage for you to become assertive. I am learning this skill pretty late in my life but I am going to master it. Are you assertive in real life?
Have you been ignored in life? Have you been taken lightly in life? Have you been looked down in life? What is the solution to this? Keep working hard and keep moving ahead. Do not stop. You have to keep winning every small battle. Till you reach point where you can't be ignored.
I got tired of the internet, so I am going to watch - "Army of the Dead" on Netflix. I'll see you in an hour. Have you seen it on Netflix yet?
Netflix: Army of the Dead Review I honestly didn't feel it like a movie. It turned out to be more or less some episode of the Walking dead. It lacked the punch. Plot was not strong enough for sequel and in fact even the single shot wise movie was not powerful enough. It was just felt like rushed story in action. It also felt boring after some time. In short, not worth it.
Sometimes it feels like everything is going down. That is when you are supposed to invest in the future. Because in future you don't have option to go back. But in present you can always invest into future. So make sure to always invest more than 30% of your efforts for future. Live for the present, invest for the future. Weekend is here. Enjoy your Saturday!
Just noticed that due to BCH prices perhaps we have lower heart values randomly. This was last night for one of the post. Is it just me who noticed this? or have you got similar experience on your posts? I know it is because of market movement, just thought to share with you all.
Never tell people what you are working on. You have to take the risk and keep your success hidden until you move away from them. A lot of your relatives, blood ones and even the friends don't want you succeed. In such case what you can do is always keep your success hidden. Share your success only with god and the people who value you. Success sometimes requires keeping it hidden from the world.
BCH is falling. What does this mean for you? You have seen the power of BCH going 1500 right? This will happen again. So keep collecting coins and wait for few months. Do not panic. Keep being positive about BTC and BCH. Do not let Elon Musk type people to manipulate BTC.
Life can be funny sometimes. People who never used to get in touch with friends, family and neighbors. Since corona everyone is like being good to each other. They are saying "Family is everything". In reality before corona, they treated each other like "cost benefit" relationship. One Chinese virus made people think of value of other people.
How much power do you let people have on you? The stalker at grocery store has been in my head and he got me by making me think. Why? Because I didn't took any assertive action and let other people manipulate me. When we remain silent and don't take action or put people in their place, this happens. Sometimes you have to say what is in your head . This way you would be able to keep a lot of people in place without stress. This takes a lot of practice.
I am extremely simple person. I don't understand trading terminal. I don't understand candle stick chart. I don't understand technical analysis. I earn crypto by writing content. I hold crypto till the price is right. I sell crypto when the price and my needs meet at same day. Dip, elon musk, panic, doge, shiba inu is NOT for me. Life goes on without all the drama.
Is your life linear? You're lucky if your life is linear. For normal people like us, life moves from one obstacle to another. Very few people are lucky who linearly achieve the success. Real life for many people works like Sine wave.
We have a lot of lies in this world. You want to enjoy vacation with laptop on beach? Buy my course. You want to empower women? Buy my product. You want to empower women? Give them low-end jobs and call it empowerment. You want to get rid of poverty? Invest in our coin. You want to get rid of fiat? Invest in our coin. You want to use green energy coin? Invest in our coin. You want to get rid of govt? Invest in our coin made up by chinese and russians. What you do with these…
Every morning you need to remind yourself that - "You may not be born rich and that's not your fault". "But if you don't die rich then that is entirely your fault". Sunday is here. Make sure to do your chores today so that you have less stress rest of the week. Take rest too. Enjoy your day!
Is it just me or YouTube pranks are 100% fake and staged? Like those couple pranks videos? road side pranks videos? Why people lie on videos in order to make prank content? It gets too much boring and predictable once people stage things.
My Pending Reads: - My Chrome on phone has 88 tabs which I have not checked - My Opera on phone has 72 tabs which I have not checked. - My getpocket has more than 300 saved bookmarks which are not checked. - My kindle has another 10 or so unopened books. I have too many unopened tasks, tabs and bookmarks. How many of things that you have not read but bookmarked or kept the tab stored? Image Credit: https://www.notion.so/
I used to make DIY stuff before corona and even after corona. People before Corona to me: "You have a lot of free time, Unlike you, we’re very busy" People after corona to me: "I don't have time for this. I am going through a lot. Corona and lockdown is harsh on me" Fact: Be it business, DIY, side project, hobby, all requires time. But if you never made something, you don't write, take pictures, sing, art, dance or do anything in life. Then you are not busy you are just…
How to Spot Fake coins and Tokens I noticed a pattern of fake tokens and the blockchains. Read my article on the topic: https://ecency.com/hive-167922/@esmeesmith/how-to-spot-fake-tokens-and-coins https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@esmeesmith/how-to-spot-fake-tokens-and-coins https://leofinance.io/@esmeesmith/how-to-spot-fake-tokens-and-coins
P0x is kind of slow and steady for me with daily slider movement under Authors articles. ETH tokens can be painful but I just keep collecting them as they are free. This is my month's progress. How is your progress going on P0x?
Social media has time and trust as a currency. For example you spend your time to build your community. You community puts a trust on you and vice versa. This trust and time together forms a currency in upvotes or hearts. So if you are not spending real money to earn crypto. Then that means you are trading the time and the trust of yours as a currency.
How do you find Motivation to Write on Readcash? Last time I wrote an article on readcash that was 1 month back. And after that I kind of posted more on leofinance and hive. I want to post Blockchain basics and course like content over there. I am stuck with motivation for writing there. If I write any further over there that would be on blockchain topics like hyperledger etc.
Nobody knows what is going to be the future. Nobody knows what will happen if we take certain decision. Nobody knows what should be the right right decision. Sometimes we have to take the action and then think of the consequences. Ofcourse those decision can mean issue of the mindset for rest of the life. But sometimes we are supposed to take the risk and then worry about things later.
What is in your portfolio after the dip? I managed to buy 70$ worth of BTC from the Hive dollars. I also managed to buy 2$ BNB from the dust that was earned in my Binance account. What have you purchased in the dip? What are your coin plans?
Sunday is coming to an end. I must say I appreciate all of you who are reading my content and appreciating it. It's really tough time these days and people being around helps a lot. I am glad that you find my content useful. Hope god gives me strength to write content that helps you a lot. Goodnight! I will see you later in few hours.
Sometimes life goes very smooth without any issues. Sometimes life feels like nothing bad is happening. You should be extremely alert when that feeling comes in. Often that is a sign of "calm before the storm". New week, New day. New things to learn. Time to get into the hustle and keep moving. Have a good Monday!
Today I learned something different. I learned how to make QR Code for my noise.cash profile using Google Charts. Check out the following URL: https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chl=https://noise.cash/u/Esmee You can replace the above profile URL with your own profile URL. You will get QR code for your noisecash profile like I got mine.
Every woman should be financially independent. Financial independence should not be an option but a necessity for women. Women should depend less on a man for money. Only relationship the two should have is on love. Money should not create an ego in the family. When there is a money involved evil lurks into that relationship. This is why every woman should be financially independent. Women who are financially independent are less likely to get hurt by divorce & breakups.…
Peri Peri Noodles after like 4 months. I'm having cheat lunch day. I literally stopped rice and noodles. I randomly had the noodles because I had no schedule planned for lunch. I realized I didn't miss much after ignoring noodles & rice for months. It seems my stomach is now programmed more for healthy than junk. What about you? What's for lunch on your end?
Whenever we start something, we are always excited. If we don't have genuine feelings towards something new, we end up ditching it. This is I suppose unisex psychological approach towards life and things. We always stay consistent with things we like or work towards for. Is it just me who noticed this?
MUTE is a new decentralized swap service for the ETH, like kuCoin. I wrote an article explaining if it is any better than kucoin or UNISWAP. You can check out my article here: https://leofinance.io/@esmeesmith/mute-yet-another-zero-swap-or-does-it-have-potential https://ecency.com/hive-167922/@esmeesmith/mute-yet-another-zero-swap-or-does-it-have-potential https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@esmeesmith/mute-yet-another-zero-swap-or-does-it-have-potential
What we are today is because of the things we did or didn't do for entire year. If you are sad or unhappy or not satisfied today it is because you didn't took actions. If you want to be happy and satisfied next year you have to take actions today. What we do today give us to new result in few days. What you don't do today keeps you where you are today. If you want to be at better position 1 year from here. You have to take actions that you can't take or didn't take today for…
What if THIS happens? What if THAT happens? I spent a large amount of my life worrying about if, this and that. I think I must be one of those people who wasted their life thinking more and worrying. Okay. So enough about the problem, what about the solution. It's simple actually, you do things and then worry about what now. Sometimes taking the actions, even if it is wrong (within terms) then worrying is fine. You can easily get over the problems if you take calculated…
Adjustment is the Key. If you see everyone as competition, you’ll never have peace, you'd end up being restless. Seeing everyone as some sort of threat can be bad for mental and physical health. We are not programmed for that and the world has changed from that natural order. We have learned to adjust with each other. Adjust to success and the loss of each other. So if you don't adjust yourself as per things that happens around, then it would affect you. Learn to adjust in…
When we are stressed, the compliments feel like potential threat. We end up dodging even the genuine compliments. And that can be bad for the mindset in the long terms. So whether the compliment is genuine or not, learn to thank the person. This way we establish connection with universe on accepting good things. It does not matter if compliment is negative or sarcastic. Just thank and move on. This habit would help a lot when you get stressed later in future and get…
If you are tired, depressed or feeling low, don't push yourself for hustle. Instead take break and stop what you are doing already. Pushing yourself when your body and minds energy level is low is recipe for disaster. Stop. Take pause and then get yourself out of the hustle for a moment. Don't keep pushing like Gary vaynerchuk makes your energy moving. It's okay to take break and relax once in a while. When your body demands break. Take a break.
Saving the crypto in USDC, USDT doesn't sound like good strategy either. You need large sum of money in the USD-pegged cryptos with ETH gas fee covered. Imagine keeping anything below 50USD in USDT or USDC. You would be losing money in the ETH gas fees. Though they(ETH fees) are reduced a bit these days. You need to meet two criteria's: 1. You are parking this money before FIAT conversion 2. You are keeping this money as a day trader or something to compensate movement loss.…
Tasks & Achievements Start your day with the list of the tasks that you want to for a day. You should also add the tasks which you didn't do yesterday. This way you move differently each day with some new progress. At the end of the day, make sure to write a journal or blog or some post. This post should highlight the work accomplished and done or kept half in a day. This is a way you keep accountability with yourself in the morning and at night. The day ends for me. I'll…
Habit of Note Taking can pay long term rewards. You can take notes as you learn about your life. You can take notes as you learn about investment. You can take notes as you make conclusions on bad or good events. Note taking also helps things get off your chest. They make you look at the problem with different state and perspective. Make a habit to take notes during the day or before ending the day. Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/pUAM5hPaCRI
Many people used to preach to quit job after earning like 10 year worth of salary in crypto. Now when the market goes down you can see a lot of those people getting panic. Worst part you end up relying on single source for your well being, which is a disaster. Don't quit job for crypto. Treat job like routine and crypto like bank investment. This way even if you lose job, you have crypto to lean on in bad days. If you lose crypto investment, you have a job to lean on in bad…
We all have 24 hours, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. We don't get any extra hours than each other. So using time as an excuse against each other is insulting. Rich and Poor both get same time. Rich use it to earn money. Poor uses it to beg money. Middle class like us who needs to constantly create opportunities for themselves. Never expect help from the rich or expect it from the govt to take care of us. That attitude of govt should help us never works as politicians are…
Drama A lot of us seek drama in order to get over the daily boring lives. Chasing Elon musk to getting manipulated by the rich like Elon and losing money in crypto. Adding 10 people in one house for 6 months and watching them go mad. Making random people date each other to seeing them divorce each other. People are conditioned for drama and they love attacking each other with drama. Why? Because without drama life is boring and people love drama to make it exciting. I prefer…
There are two types of people. 1. People who choose their own crypto with their own set of calculation. 2. People who require other people to lead them. People who follow and trust Elon Musk are like that. They don't have courage to take risk in their own life. So they ask the celeb to lead them in their quest to be rich. So they chase Mark cuban, elon musk, and other celebs and the financial giants to guide them. I personally don't listen to 1% rich peoples advice on…
No matter how much we try harder. There is someone better than us. Like say you are good with art, there is someone better than you. You are good with singing? There is someone better than you. Life is not something you would find without competition. You are going to find things that are better than you. And if you find yourself at center of attention then realize the people around are limited. You can only succeed in the limited sphere of people. More we think wider and…
How Do VC-funded Cryptocurrency Projects lie to Community? Here are some of the ways such projects and teams lie to their users. 1. We are going to get rid of the poverty. 2. We are going to offer "Universal basic income" to everyone. 3. We hate centralization (PS: our team gets salary, we got funded through VC) 4. We hate govt (meanwhile US-SEC has asked them to be transparent legally) 5. You can trust us (meanwhile they have chinese and russian team members) 6. FIAT is…
You meet Bad People now, so that you can handle them in future, better. Sometimes I used to get angry because of meeting too many bad people in life. I was naïve to think that life would go as per my expectations. I met a lot of bad people and thought my life is done for because of such people. Today I realized that bad people meeting you in past means you handle bad in future. Now a days I can sense the bad from the miles and easily ignore the same. You get the experience…
Everything "Excess" is bad. - Excessive thinking aka Overthinking leads to Unhappiness and Depression. - Excessive eating leads to health issues. - Excessive TV watching affects eyes and mind. - Excessive obsession towards anything leads to paranoia. Excessive things in life tend to manipulate us if we don't control our handling. So if you are obsessed or doing anything in excess, it's right time to pause that during this time. In near future when world turns normal, leaving…
What Coins to go for when the market is down? Here's my suggestion, but before that DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. - Binance Coin BNB - Bitcoin Cash BCH - Bitcoin BTC - Cardano ADA - Solana SOL - Polkadot DOT Noticed I didn't list Ethereum. The reason being during the market down times the fees for ETH are still high. So if you don't want to burn with that then avoid, otherwise that is also one more option. What are your coin portfolio right now during the dip times?
Do you spend your time on social media controlled by the Rich? Twitter is controlled by the rich and they even are not in favor of freedom-of-speech. Facebook is even more worst than twitter. They don't even let you monetize your content like YouTube does. Twitter, facebook just takes your content and make money. Zuckerberg has no plans to give you crypto for posting. Twitter wants to monitor what you think and only let you monetize if you align with their thoughts. So why…
Don't work too hard. Work isn't everything. A lot of people work too hard. They take less breaks. They are running from the reality of their life. And so they continue to work on things and hope that their days will change. Working too hard and not having focus and end goal for it makes you tired. And burn out from that is bad for the health long term. Set a boundary and work hard within that boundary. Nothing more and nothing less. Have a good night! Image Credit:…
A lot of us have procrastination problem because we think we don't have enough. Like we don't have enough to start YouTube channel. Or we don't have enough to learn more about cryptocurrency. We have this weird mental blocks that gives us constant excuses in the mind. Procrastination kicks in when we have habit of avoiding the hard work. If you want to make your future better you have to keep doing the work. Excuses wont make you rich. It can not change your present nor…
Stop Using People. Do you hate it when people leave you? Do you hate it when you are being used? If you don't like being used. You should not use people either. You should not take people for granted. Because that would always invite same karma. You use people and call it fair game. But if other people use you, then you find it wrong? Always remember - "What goes around comes around". Don't do to others what you would not like being done to you. Image Credit:…
First they become your hero, then they manipulate you and your life. Remember how elon musk became hero by promising support to crypto? Like this many things in our society today become influencers using social media. After they acquire your trust and earn money from you, they start to manipulate you. They ask you to invest as they want good for your. They ask you to make life choices that favors them. Choose your heroes wisely. Apart from your religions god or holy books,…
Create when you are energetic. Consume when you are bored. A lot of people making use of library and the video sites when they are bored. A lot of people who have energy or want to do something create things when they can. This seems to be the recipe of doing vs consuming as per your energy levels. If you don't create then your body gets habit of consumption only and gets bored more. If you only create and not consume then your body gets burned out and bored too. So having…
How to Credit your Images in your Readcash, noisecash HIVE Posts? So few people asked me how to use the images and also properly credit them. How to use Images in your social media post?

If you want to show your intellect then appear small. If you want to show your power then appear large. This was one of the lesson learned from the story one of the god in Indian culture where the monkey god used his intellect to appear small among alley. And used his power among enemies when required among enemies. Same is the way we should be living our life. We have to use our intellect and act like small among friends and the people who are close. And we have to use the…
My FIAT exchanger has been acting very creepily. He sends me telegram message and asks me - hey do you want to exchange BCH? Do it before price goes down. Think about it, no offer in future.

Please help me and my family. Me: No So far today no messages from him. I don't know what…
We often set high expectations for ourselves more than we can handle. And then we spend our life procrastinating about those dreams. And this setting high expectations also means we are going to be disappointed soon. So setting high expectations means we have to also take the actions along the way. If you set high expectations, make sure the actions you take for the same are high. Never procrastinate if your dreams are high but your actions are not matching it. Image credit:…
Since 2020, we all are going through various types of the stress. Few people learned how to be comfortable in the stress. Few are still struggling. Being calm and content in the stressful situation is not that easy. It's art. I meditate, exercise, read books, write and also keeping in touch with people. To some extent all of this works to get the stress off my head. How do you reduce stress in the tough situations? Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/3gzQBqrbt-s
Everyday I force myself to clear the Gmail inbox. I have signed up to many newsletters and the services. I get a lot of emails from them. I spend a lot of time reading and removing those emails. I think by clearing the inbox I have learned some benefits of inbox management. I also need to focus on essential emails and ignore the rest, that would be much beneficial. Do you clear the inbox? or do you just ignore and move on?
I just realized that I stocked a lot of food in January. Since January my health collpased and I can't eat a lot of food items anymore. So I am going to pack the food items in the pantry and donate them to the people. It's better to give someone to eat instead of throwing the food just because I can't eat it. A lot of food is not even unpacked yet. like oats, cereals, chips, soups etc. Time to give back to the people who need it. Do you give away food that you don't use?…
I had a lot of ideas about the future before graduating. After 10 years from the graduation I realized that a lot of my ideas are now reality. I didn't do anything about it. But other people and new generation did the work. I had energy, I had so much interest but I lacked money and time. But I am happy that somehow those ideas are now a reality. For which I am pretty much happy with the way things turn out without me. Sometimes we don't have to do anything and life works…
Did you do anything different today? Every day when you go to bed or end your day of work, you should ask this yourself. This way you would change the boring life into something meaningful. Life is boring unless you add some spice. And one way to do that is change your daily activities slightly to bring new results. Today has ended for me, it's time to hit the bed and get some rest.

How Do You Handle Negative Feedback? In past, I used to engage with people who were mean and negative towards me. These days I make sure to check the intention and the tone of the feedback. After reading through the feedback, If it's negative, I ignore or block whichever applies. If it's constructive criticism, I make sure to thank the person. I try to improve myself if it is a constructive criticism. \ How do you handle negative feedback or comments? Image:…
Sometimes god gives us hope and motivation but not the means to have dreams. In such case to make dreams come true we have to share those dreams with others. Then someone else with energy and means can make those dreams come true. If you have any dream about your people, your country that you want to see come true. You have to inspire others and share your visions so that they can see your view. Then from that point onwards if your dreams come true or not is all god's plan.…
Uncertainty Nothing in life is certain anymore. Be it virus or even random illness can take us away from the life now. Jobs are not secured anymore. Cryptos are not reliable either, they never were. Relationships are even more unreliable than they were before. If we worry about certainty of the life and the thing in it, we may not live. Stop searching for stability. Instead chase the uncertain changes that happen. Uncertain things in life also makes our life more fun and…
Get Educated in Blockchain I don't know what your age is. I don't know what is your education level is. You have to get yourself educated in blockchain. You don't have to get your elder people invested into the coins if they don't want to. But make sure to teach them about the wallet, private keys, desktop wallet, USB wallets. Blockchain is going to be legal and we would be migrating our FIAT into the crypto soon. All the altcoins or probably even the bitcoin would be losing…
Let's talk about NFT. Like some craze in the market, NFT, has been going with crappy art and useless items. Let's talk about NFT being used for some valuable items and not some poor art or items. What if good quality art, physical items and the video and audio is being sold in the market? Today we are seeing a lot of useless items being sold in the market there are no curators. Once the good quality is checked by curators, the market will mature. And rich people trolling the…
Going Fast and Slow. So sometimes we feel like rushing in life because we are low of something. Say you want to get rich, and reasonably you have to go fast when required. And when you want to enjoy your life then you have to go slow to savor the experience. We don't have control over life and the events that happen in our life. We have to go fast and slow as required and as often it is needed. How do you handle life moments - fast or slow? Image Credit:…
Today's lunch was Subway Toastie. Cheat day for me. After like many weeks. I removed cheese lol. Rest of the vegies and the bread was good. Do you like Subway Toasties?
Sometimes we take decisions in life and we feel like there is no fix coming for the same. I had some of such decisions in life and I feel like there is no fix. And as time goes ahead those issues just get more deeper with fixes hardly possibly. It feels like no matter what we do in our life, some issues just keep on piling up badly. I wonder if god can change life in such way that all our problems go away? How do you solve some of the issues which are unfixable? How do you…
Sometimes you are your own worst enemy. And the moment other people learn that you are self critical they attack you. let's say you say something wrong about your own self among family and friends. Even parents, family members and the friends may take advantage of you. This is one reason if you want to be self critical, make sure to confirm you are not sharing. Never share self critic in the public. Only comedians can do that without getting attacked. Does it ever happened…
What some people chase they either don't get it or they lose interest. Does it ever happened to you that you chase something and over time lost interest. Or you chase something to such an extent that you don't get it no matter what. Sometimes the chase is something that keeps us alive and kicking. And when we don't get something what we chase in our life, then life feels meaningless. Does it ever happened to you? Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/QeoXkIesiCo
A lot of people are over working both offline and online. We do it because we try to find it as a means to escape from problems. This can be a bad practice or the habit as you can say. We have to sometimes let go of the rush and the problems in our life. This is the only way to find our way out of staying busy all the time. Do you over work? How do you avoid having such habit?

Sometimes we don't get anything in life. Sometimes we get what we don't like in life. And it does not matter at the end what we get and what we don't get in our life. We have to continue to move on and keep doing things in our life. Because we don't have a choice other than trying to move ahead. If we don't do anything with life, then it's not worth living. So forget everything that happened today and move on. Take some rest. I hope to see you in next few hours! Good Night!…
Every day some random group of people from china and Russia create crypto coin. They tell you they are against govt. They are against centralization. They name their coin funny thing like banana, doge, this and that. They create community around that coin. They get it popular and get people to invest. Once they see people invested too much into the coin, they exit by selling their share. Hating govt, hating centralization while selling the same thing to you. Be careful when…
I worked for 8 years with my Manager for handling team and department. I realized one thing. If you are rich, you need team to handle your empire. If you don't trust anyone, or don't have a team, then you can't have empire. You have to trust people, delegate your work to others, spread your risk with other people. If you want to be rich, learn to have a team working for you. Unless you can have a team and process in place, you can't be rich for long. As you get older…
Everybody is worrying about the market dip since Elon musk damaged it. Me? I am like that sparrow who drops stones into glass to raise the water level. My approach is always spend my time to earn crypto and then convert to FIAT. I have no interest in this HODL and anti-fiat approach. Life is too short to HODL because earning crypto is extremely hard. How is your strategy going on? Are you hodling or earning crypto?
Passive Learning A lot of what we learn everyday is passive learning. For example, we read something, we watch something and keep moving to next thing. Here we are not applying that skill so that remains dormant. That's passive learning. Unless we apply what we learn, we are going to have it in dormant state. And what is not applied and used often gets forgotten in the long run too. Do you passive learn? or do you apply your skills and learning? Image Credit:…
Everybody has a voice but a lot of it is either "echo" or "censored". A lot of people have opinion which are politically polarized. So they are being censored because the group follows social trends on common echo. We are in the age where we are forced to suppress our voices if it's not secular. Now take another case of echo. If you go with the group and echo the sentiments, then your voice is useless as it's echo. You are not adding anything new but just echoing what is…
How do we create good luck? I think luck appears when you make more changes. You take less changes, you are less likely to have luck. So when you take more positive chances, you have more positive luck. If you want better luck then you should do the chances accordingly. You can't have good luck with the more negative chances and the efforts. Find out what gives positive luck, do it more often and there you have a good luck. Nothing is random. Image Credit:…
What happens to the bad things that people do? What happens to the bad sins of the people? Where does all the bad go? My speculation: If good things are gift of god then so does the bad things. He designed those things in such way that humans can stay in balance. All the bad things that go around must have their own set of consequences too. Everything bad, does have a end, everything good does have an end. What do you think, what happens to bad deeds, sins, bad people? Image…
Accidental Luck Sometimes we don't do anything for some success. It just happens and we have no idea how did it happen. And people call it accidental success. e.g. say lottery or marrying a rich person or divorcing Anything that you are not owner of but was given to you by destiny is accidental luck. A lot of people in this world are in the right time to have it. Not everyone can have it and that is one more reason we call it luck. Accidental luck is what everyone wants and…
Paying it Forward When it comes to helping the people in crisis, I always pay attention to corruption. This is one reason I never pay United nations charities or any form of charity. Being an Asian, I know how the charity money is used for the wrong reasons. So how do we get to pay it forward to those in need? You can give them food, ration supply, clothing, medicine. Never ever give them money. Because we have no idea what they would do with it. Always give back to the…
Cleaning the Place Whenever you start your day, make sure that your surrounding is clean. Whenever you end your day, make sure to clean the surrounding room, desk etc. This way you always be in the clean place which helps both mentally, physically clean. Cleaning the place every now and then also keeps your distracted from digital world. So you should never compromise on the place being unhygienic. Clean the place. Clean the desk. Also clean the gadgets that you have. Image…
I just checked out my Binance stored coins. I noticed that I have too much stored on web based wallet like binance. I need to move funds to desktop wallet. How much of coins do you store on web based wallet vs desktop wallet?
Everyday we hustle, struggle and try to enjoy the life. We don't know what market may do to our investment. We just do the hard work and continue the hustle and rest. Today ended pretty much with some hard work and slow progress on content writing. It's time to take rest and move beyond the past. I hope to see you in few hours. Good Night!

Nobody tells you secret, you have to observe the Secret. People read the bio and the books of successful people. Reality is that those people don't share secret with you. They share what they want you to believe is the secret. I mean think about it a lot of successful people made many tradeoffs in life. They are not going to admit and tell you about it in the books. Always read such success stories with a pinch of salt. Not all success stories and the books have reality in…
New Content or Recycled Content? Do you know since 2010, there are very few movies and the TV shows that have new content. A lot of content is mostly recycled or reboots of old books, old movies and comics. New content with strong plots are extremely rare these days. People are mostly watching the recycled content. Each year something reboots. Something old comes back, with little to nothing. So is it a new content or recycled content? Have you noticed that there is a lack…
Interviews If you are searching for jobs during the pandemic or going to search for it once the pandemic is over and you may want to switch. Make sure to research the company you apply for. Also make sure to understand what is the position you are applying for. More you find out about them the better. Then join or lurk on forums where interview questions are being discussed. If you are switching jobs make sure to give them genuine reasons and do not lie on why you want new…
Why do Dogs cry at night? I have been observing this every night, like after 12:30 late night, dogs start crying. Pretty odd behavior as this was not the case before the pandemic or maybe we all ignored. I wonder if they are watching some thieves or maybe robbery etc? but why would they cry? Do you have any idea on why do dogs cry? Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/UY5iQ3IDKyg
Sometimes I feel like murdering those people who say "Work from Home" is good lifestyle. They said, working from home you would spent time with family. Reality, family starts hating you if you stay with them for long. They said, working from home you can take care of health easily. Reality, you would gain weight, then get stress and may lose weight by getting sick. Nomad traveler, work from home lifestyle sounds good on paper and on bodies of models. Health and mind both get…
Being a teacher is not an easy job. I tried to teach in college. And it was one of the exhausting job I could do. I decided not to do that anymore. And worst I realized it could be bad for my health. I'd say if you want to be a teacher, make sure you are in better environment. And also you teach something which other people can appreciate and let you do it further. That is my experience from which I realized I should start respecting teachers more. Respect the people who…
Sometimes We don't make it in time. Sometimes we become rich too late. Sometimes we get into relationship too late. Sometimes we don't have peace of mind. Sometimes we just live for the sake of it. Sometimes our dreams get shattered. And that is okay. You don't have to make it in time. You don't have to get everything in time. What you get however should keep you in peace.

A lot of our limitations are self imposed. Some we have made due to fear from known people. Some we have made due to fear from unknown people. Some we have made due to fear of future. Sometimes we have to push those limitations and boundaries on ourselves. Sometimes we have to keep moving ahead in our life ignoring the limits. Have you added any self imposed limitations or have any from external means? Image Credit:https://unsplash.com/photos/TfQyF6_2HsM
How do you choose a coin? I make sure to check the team. I make sure to check it's use case. I make sure to check it's market demand. I ignore if it's endorsed by evil people like Elon musk. I avoid those coins completely. I ignore if the coin has Russian and Chinese teams behind it. I make sure to also check how many exchangers are accepting it. I make sure to also check if it's not doing false advertising. This method has worked so far good for me that my portfolio has…
There is an interesting quote here in some cultures in Asia. "If you start to hate your family especially when they are good" "When you start to like strangers especially without not knowing them" "Your bad days or end has just begun." Interesting quote and teaches you a lot about how to choose people around you. How not to let the strangers get to manipulate your in the life. Have you noticed the same?

You have seen a lot of posts from me on Productivity. So here's another one for those who want to have better connections of tasks. I make use of the xmind mindmap software which my company pays for. This software basically allows you to create mindmaps and you can export it to pdf, png etc. Keeping the software aside, the thing that mindmap does is it gives you broader direction. You learn which tasks matter and how they are aligned with the project in hand. Have you used…
Every weekend I try to do things that helps me for next week. I have done the same today. However I lacked at the article writing and content writing.

Have you ever reached a stage in pandemic where you say F * to everything? Like you just want to ignore everything and go out without mask and stuff? I know I have getting that feeling for 1 and half years for now. It's really boring working from home and it just gets tiring doing same things. I wonder how people spend their weekends at home without getting bored. Sunday is here. Hope you have a good day! Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/-fCvu160WRs
Money has been controlling a lot of us for 1 year. Without money surviving is more impossible in the pandemic times. After pandemic the market problem and job problem would double for sure. Control the money. Control the finances. But don't let it control you. Money is a tool but money is not going to be above your life. So don't let it control you.

Learning from Home has a big flaw. Apart from computer science rest of the subjects which require hands-on get forgotten. Like you learn how to bake and cook from the computer but you don't try them. You don't practice the things you learn from YouTube or your office or college videos. And this would lead to the a lot of people who learned things but didn't practiced. Imagine doctors, engineers and the other workers learn like this but don't practice. We have serious issue…
Market may be down but I continue to focus on token earning. You have to keep on earning despite market is down. Make sure to stay yourself invested and do not sell in panic. Here's my p0x dashboard for the months earning. As the month ends. I didn't do much good this month and so I have to be regular there earning few tokens. What's your progress with the p0x or Ether tokens of various types?
Some of my Pakistani friends introduced me to the Horror movies from Turkey. And I have watched all the movies from the Siccin series. I have to check out other movies of the horror genre from that country. One thing surprises me is that there are no demon classifications in Islam it seems. Every negative entity is being called "Jinn". I mean there could be variants in bad guys too lol. Still it would be interesting to see some movies from other side of the world. Have you…
I feel like quitting the Brave browser. The reason being I don't earn from it anymore. But it has been blocking my ads and the trackers by default. So keeping it on as long as I can but eventually may move to Microsoft Edge. What about you? How much surfing have you done on Brave Browser?
A lot of new things can be learned during the pandemic. The cooking skill is one of the skills which can be learned quickly. And you can try out your own recipes as long as you cook them better.

Pareto Principle says "80% Work Done with 20% of Efforts" Work from Home and Pandemic be like "Get 20% work done with 80% Time Wasted". It's not just me but a lot of people are finding their productivity has been reduced. Kids who they loved last year are now turning out to be annoying while from home. Spending too much time with family is not really a good time anymore. Work and family needs a boundary. If you bring both at home, it is bound to destroy balance. Image…
It's funny people are what they do everyday. If you meet business people, they tend to be always negotiating no matter what topic. If you meet sales people, they tend to be pushy and trying to sell you even the opinions. If you meet doctors they are used to giving lectures or advice on what to and not to. If you meet builders and engineers then you may find them being maker mindset all time. A lot of what we do for earning we tend to add it in our mindset and the daily…
I have converting my TRON earned from steem to BCH for some time now. It has helped me a lot to get BCH otherwise it would take forever to earn this much. I think we should diversify to earn other coins and then convert to BCH. Are you following this strategy too? Or you have any other plans?

Thought Experiments and People I always loved asking questions to the crowd. Noisecash and HIVE has been the only places where I have a decent following.

Do you like reading and conducting thought experiments with friends and followers? Image Credit: https://unsplash.com/photos/lzO6PNNWXpc
Funny stuff about Time Management. You follow schedule and try to force yourself in it, you get burn out. You don't follow schedule and live randomness life, your body and mind goes out of sync. In both scenarios having too much controlled life vs lack of control, both can be bad. You have to learn to strike balance as the life moves ahead. How do you handle time management and schedule of your life? Image Credit:https://unsplash.com/photos/huZjJnHfRaE
Whenever I open internet these days, All I see is drama. Someone attacking someone then someone ganging up someone. Someone impersonating someone. someone defending someone. Money makes this world go around. And people do things for money. Oh well. Me and my search for horror and darkness movies continues on Monday too. I have some office work to do then writing is all I have to do now. Hope your monday goes well. Enjoy your day.
You play it safe and you never find the success. You try to play the risky game and you meet scams, phishing, scammers and dip in market. Sometimes a lot of what we do and how we achieve is nothing but a game of luck. How do you make the risk and safety work in balance for you?
My pakistani friend sent me youtube video to one ghost hunting show. And noticed they recorded some creature or entity on the camera. I watched the show late night. And now I cant get the image off my head. 😂🤣 I don't understand urdu and only thing I understood is that some entity standing. Do you know any other such creepy shows?
It's funny that when you are humble people find you "lack of confidence". And when you be blunt with confidence people find you "arrogant". It's like we just don't know how to react in front of some of the people. Have you noticed the same?

Some days are not meant for us. Some days we are supposed to take backseat. And so we have to wait for another day to work harder. Today was not our day. Maybe we can have one more day like that.
