LOVE is What you Know.
"I always want to be with him, he gives me butterflies and makes me complete. I am certain I'm in love!"
"I made a horrible mistake! We barely sit down to have reasonable conversations, we are just not compatible. I want out!
It might interest you to know that the same person made those statements above, just 6 months apart.
Well, what went wrong? What happened to their love? Or wait, were they ever in love at all? Many people have made the mistake of entering a marital covenant with the wrong ones based on misinterpreted feelings. That is why many have dated, engaged and even married people that they should have just said 'Hi' to on the street and pass. What can help us make the right decisions when it comes to potential mates?
Our feelings can be misleading, this is the pure truth. We take what is not for 'what is' and what is for 'what is not.' Of course this is not inevitable. We can take mastery of our feelings. We just have to learn the different stages of Romance and make decisions based on what we know. There are three stages to our feelings, and that is what we will consider.
Attraction: what you see
Infatuation: what you feel
True Love: what you know
**Attraction**
Attraction is simply what you see. This is what you experience when you meet someone for the first time. You feel an instant attraction to them, and you want to get closer to them at that very moment. But this stage, most times, is very short-lived. After spending some time with them you realize that you feel less attracted to them with each passing day.
That is why we can't count the number of people that have made our hearts race when we first see them. But that feeling most times eventually cools off. However, some do progress to the next stage which is the Infatuation stage.
**Infatuation**
Infatuation is what you feel. You have spent time with that special person and the feeling seems to be growing ever stronger. You have indeed found the one, or have you? Infatuation stage is very tricky. It can blind you to some obvious danger signs in a relationship. Really, this stage is what is often referred to when people say quotes like "Don't just follow your heart, make use of your brain too. " You can't really explain why you like someone, you just do.
Just like attraction, infatuation can fade away with time. Spend more time with the person you think you are crazily in love with. Get to know them and their qualities. Pay attention to how they treat others. This will determine whether the infatuation will fade off, or will advance to the love stage.
**Love**
Love is what you know. You have spent enough time with this person and love what you are getting to know so far. You are well past the infatuation stage because you have fallen in love with the individual, not their physical appearance or the butterflies they are giving you. It's safe to conclude that you are in love.
While some people's love passes through that stages, it is absolutely not a must for true love to develop in that manner. My mom always tell me what she felt when she first met my dad; nothing. He was just like another stranger, no connection whatsoever. But as she spent time with him and got know him better and his qualities, she was able to develop strong feelings for him. So, attraction at first sight does not necessarily have to happen before you fall in love.
But then, there is another term that many make use of and believe in.
**Love at first sight?**
If you are an advocate of Love at first sight, the earlier you do away with that belief the better. There is no such thing. You can't love what you don't know, hence what you are feeling is attraction. True love involves knowing all there is to know about someone (good and bad) and still have the strong conviction. You are not making that decision based on how your heart raced or some superficial feelings.
Therefore, the next time you think you are falling in love:
Give it time
Get to know the person
Observe how he/she interacts with others, especially family members
Explore every aspects. Don't be superficial by seeing just want you want to see.
It is not a lot of work, unless you don't want to make a lifetime commitment.
Just my own little knowledge about the romance cycle that I wanted to share. I would love to know your thoughts, let me know if you agree or disagree and why.

Valuable lessons from a moonlight tale
The typical life of a young Nigerian: You sit down at night under the full moon and listen to stories from an older storyteller.
While growing up and till now, I always visit my grandparents in the village a couple of times every year. And I am always blessed with rich stories and life experiences that are certainly of great benefits to my life, and those I tell the takes to. Tonight, I will share with you a popular tale which we all think we know everything about, but in reality there is more to the tale than we think.
So on a particular day in the village I sat down waiting to be fed some tantalizing stories. (It always amazes me how grandpa never runs out of them). He started; "I will tell you the story of the Tortoise and the Hare".
Really grandpa? Is it the same widespread story or another one? He asked me to tell him the one I know. "Easy. The Tortoise and Hare had a race, but the hare grew overconfident and underestimated his opponent. Thinking it was an easy match, he went to rest hoping to catch up with the Tortoise later. He slept off, when he woke it was too late. Tortoise had already won the race" .
https://depositphotos.com/86343528/stock-illustration-the-tortoise-and-the-hare.html
"And what is the lesson?" he asked.
"Slow and steady wins the race".
He then told me that what I have just narrated barely makes 20 percent of the tale. Really? There is more to it?
Read to the end, as I will be your grandpa for some minutes.
The hare, knowing that there is no way the Tortoise can actually win him asked for the competition a second time. He acknowledged that he lost the race because he was relaxed and careless, a mistake he would not repeat. This time around, the Hare wins with a huge gap.
The lesson: Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. The one that is reliable and reliable in what he does will always outshadow the slow. It is good to be slow and steady, it is better to be fast and reliable.
The story does not end there. The tortoise sat down and thought of how he could beat the hare again. Well, trust Mr Tortoise, he got an idea.
He challenged the hare to the race again. This time, in another location. They set out, as expected the hare is already far ahead. But he had to stop when he encountered a river. Hares don't swim. So while he stood there thinking of what to do,the tortoise got there, swam across, continued the race and won.
The lesson: Identify your strengths beforehand and change the playing field to suit those strengths.
The tortoise knew his strength was the fact that he can swim, which was the hare's weakness. So he made use of it to his own advantage. Create opportunities that will spotlight and enhance your strengths.
Well, the story has not ended still. By now the two are best friends and they met to think of how they could have run the last race better. They decided to run the last race again, but this time as a team.
The hare carried the tortoise on his back and started the race. When they got to the river, the tortoise carried the hare on his back and swam across. The hare carried the tortoise again and they finished the race, with looks of satisfaction and accomplishment.
The lesson: While it's good to have individual brilliance and strengths, the best results comes from working as a team. This is because teamwork is about circumstance leadership, letting the person with the relevant strength take the lead in various situations. Therefore, most of the time teamwork beats individual efforts.
The final lesson: When we stop competing against each other and start competing against the situation, we perform much better.
When he finished, I was silent for almost a minute. The tale hit differently, I saw how this applies to various aspects of our lives as humans.
I hope you have learnt something from this story. Maybe I can share another story from grandpa next time. He has taught me a lot, which I would like to share with everyone.
Thanks for reading.

Cellphones; A Menace to good health.
You might think; How?
Our cellphones are one of the dirtiest things in the world. In fact, it has been proven to be the second most dirtiest thing in the world, after money.
Cellphones are 10 times dirtier than toilet seats and shoe soles. They carry microbes that causes diseases and can even contain faecal matter. 🤮
Sadly though, many people are oblivious to this fact. They make use of their phone while eating, in which there is a high probability if transferring the microbes to the food they consume. Many take their phones to the toilet thereby multiplying the bacteria in it.
**What exactly is on our cellphones?**
The hands are the primary source of those dirtiness. The average person checks his phone 45 times every say, doing this while performing other activities. So all the microbes that have been amassed in various activities are dumped on the phone when we press them. Sometimes even if you do nothing, the human skin is naturally covered in microbes. And we transfer them to the cellphone every now and then.
But such organisms can do little or no harm, you might think. While our body microbes might not cause any damage to our health, we should consider our environment. We are not always in a sterile environment. Things we do and places we touch all leave various types of microbes on our hands, which we in turn transfer to our phones.
Another reason why our phones are so dirt is because of the heat they emanate. Microbes survive best in a warm environment. Since our phones have their own heat producing mechanisms, that is their sweet and humble place of abode.
Image source https://www.southernphone.com.au/blog/the-dirty-truth-our-mobile-phones-are-crawling-with-bacteria
**The Effects**
Some claim that all these information is overhyped, there is really no one that has been bedridden because of microbes on their phones. But no one traces the causes of ailments to the phone either. Doctors can mostly tell you the organisms that made you sick, not how you got them. The following are germs that can be found on the cellphone.
`E coli. This bacteria can be found in the intestines and can be transferred through faecal matter. It causes ailments such as food poisoning and diarrhea.`
`Staphylococcus aureus. This is proven to thrive on cellphones and can cause different skin infections and pneumonia.`
`Influenza. Since it can survive on surfaces for as long as 24 hours, one can spend days in bed because of flu gotten from the cellphone.`
**What can be done?**
While it is impossible to keep all these microbes away from our mobiles, we can make them insignificant and reduce them to the barest minimum that is not health-threatening.
Don't take your phone to the toilet. When you flush, these microbes are scattered around the toilet space. They can settle on your phone easily.
Don't put your phone in your mouth. People do put phones in their mouth, maybe they want to use the flashlight on it or to keep it somewhere briefly while doing something else. This practice is totally unhygienic. Keep your phone out of your mouth.
Rarely lend others your phone. You might be clean, but if you give out your phone easily to others then expect a party of microbes on your phone.
Clean your phone regularly. You can use soft and clean cloth to avoid scratches. Some say you can also apply small liquid to clean. But make sure you know what can have adverse effects on your phone before applying anything.
Many healthcare organizations now place a lot of emphasis on keeping good hygiene with your phone. They, of course, know the dangers of not doing so.
I hope this article has been of help. Thanks for reading. ❤️
Have I Benefitted from the Articles on read.cash?
*It is one thing to read, it is another to get value out of what you are reading. - Kennysplash*
I joined this platform 3 weeks ago, and I have to admit that I have learned a lot here more than I ever imagined. The amazing writers on this platform have all taught me valuable lessons, which I in turn impart to others. I made it my goal to read 15 articles here everyday, and I read them with the hope of getting valuable gems that can improve my life. So far, I can say that I have been wowed than I expected.
Therefore, I deemed it fit to to put together names of writers and their articles that have helped me in one way or another. The list follows no particular order; journey with me as I unravel various wonderful works and how they have been of help to me.
*Disclaimer: I'm sorry but I have to tag some writers, so you can see how your articles are really benefiting the members.*
The first article I will mention is by @HappyBoy ; They all quit after the third article. Yes, I wanted to quit. Mine was even the second article. I was previously on noisecash, I would visit here and see boosted articles of people earning double figures in dollars. I wanted that too, so I registered. First article, nothing. Second one, 2 cents. Seriously? It took me a great deal to write those! I told myself it's not for me and I should not waste my time. https://read.cash/@HappyBoy/they-all-quit-after-the-3rd-article-62fab733
Then I saw the mentioned article and took time to read and digest it. He explained how patience is important and outlined things new members can do to maximize their earnings. That sort of gingered me to continue and put in my best. Hence I can say I am still on this platform thanks to the article.
Then there is one person that have had profound effect on me, not only by his articles buy also his personality; @Maxdevalue.BCH I have been following his articles and learnt a lot from his selflessness and altruism towards his community. His efforts in ensuring clean and sufficient water supply is unarguably an amazing patriotic act towards his community. He is indeed making a difference in this me-first world.
His articles have opened my eyes to avenues where I can make a difference. I have noticed how good roads have been a major concern in my community. Where we should commute for just 5 minutes takes us 15 minutes due to longer routes. Hopefully very soon, I can as well start making a difference. Keep up the good work sir, your good deeds will never be forgotten.
And then there is @Olasquare It was surprising how I managed to find the right articles at the right time. In his article "what motivates you to be here", he stated that the earning is a plus. If a newbie's sole desire here is to make money, then it's going to be a tough journey for him. This made me look at the platform differently and to ask myself some questions: Do I not have something I can write on this platform that will interest the readers? Would I fare well if my focus is on money? A positive effect that article had on me. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/what-motivates-you-to-be-here-9320056f
Oh and @FarmGirl ! Our 5 Fs was an article I enjoyed and saved, which I eventually used to reason with my uncle. He was so focused on work that his wife constantly complains bitterly. She just wanted quality time with her husband, not the money he was sending. I told him that the 5fs must be followed closely if he wants to enjoy his family. Don't substitute the F in family for Finance or Fun, give every F their deserved time and attention. He was admiring me as if I was Shakespeare! Well it's all thanks to farmgirl, so I have to give credit where due. https://read.cash/@FarmGirl/our-five-fs-536a5660
@Fexonice1 ? I can't begin mentioning his articles that I have learnt a lot from, if I can we would be here all day. His articles about relationships and married life are too notch. I am not married nor engaged yet, but through his articles I have learnt how sacrifice and selflessness is the key to a successful relationship. And at times when I think of taking a break, he outlined some things to do instead of breaking up.
Married life is a lifelong commitment to me, therefore I need all the knowledge and experiences of I can lay my hands on. I am looking forward to more of your articles, Fexonice.
I was filling a bank teller one day and mistakenly wrote the wrong date. The cashier pointed it out to me, while I was correcting it, I referred to myself as "fool". I remembered this scenario while reading @King_Gozie article Be your favorite self. He shared his experience of how he was quick to berate himself when he missed the exit of a shopping mall. I am very fond of condemning myself after every mistake, surely everyone had once made the mistake of writing the wrong date; but they don't berate themselves for it. I needed to appreciate myself the way I do others, not quick to attack every of my mistake. I worked towards achieving that and I can say I am getting better. Hence, the appreciation of the author. https://read.cash/@King_Gozie/be-your-favorite-self-9aea92c9
And this concludes the list.
But let me add that never have I regretted opening an article here to read. Therefore, a general "thanks" to the authors here for all your hard work.
Thanks for your time, see you soon.
Dreams...The Starting Point
*Dreams make us wonder, dreams open up possibilities, dreams make us believe in a better future.*
Everyone dreams. It can be pleasant, one that makes you regret waking up; and it can be a nightmare, you are grateful for waking up. You can be dreaming of some sweet scenarios you would like to experience in life. It is going all sweet and pleasant, and perhaps the moment you get to the most important part is when you wake up. After such dream you are left with a grin on your face, and you wonder if you can truly experience them in real life.
Then there is the counterpart. Dreams that make you sweat and gasp for breath. Most likely we have all experienced that particular dream of wanting to get away from danger, but you just can't see to get anywhere. Your legs are heavy, and helplessly you feel the danger gets closer and closer. It is said that when you have such dream, then there is a circumstance in your life that you are eager to change albeit giving you a hard time.
There are two major forms of dreams;
The unconscious one. Refers to the one you have in your sleep
The conscious one. You are not sleeping, it refers to your aspirations in life.
In this article, our context is on the latter.
It is said that "nothing happens unless we first dream." Once you dream of something you hope to achieve, if you don't work on it you are still dreaming. Dreams consists of ideas, that if dwelt upon can turn to great accomplishments. Note: "if dwelt upon". It is one thing to dream, it is another to take necessary action.
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.- Collin Powell
At a tender age, I dreamt of becoming a competent chef. I had a passion for cooking and I hoped to pursue it as a hubby or a career. I enrolled in culinary schools and I took courses on local and foreign delicacies. That action I took has had a huge effect on my life today. As a student, I worked in a restaurant on school free days and earned to support myself and have good savings.
Of course, I am not at the top yet. I am still working towards the grand realization of my dream. Very soon I hope to set up my own Eatery and put to good use my vast knowledge of different delicacies, locally and internationally.
**Right time to dream**
Simple, anytime you dream is the right time. When it comes to age, some dream quite early and have great accomplishments. Others are till the later part of their lives. Let us consider some examples.
Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook at the age of 19 and became a billionaire at the age of 23. He had an early dream, pursued it and made a global name from himself. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both 21 years old when they invented the world's leading search engine, Google. Many like them had the opportunity to dream and implement their dreams quite early in their lives. These people went on to be self-made billionaires.
There are others that dreamt very late in their lives. A notable example is Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken. After a series of disappointments in life, he started KFC at the age of 66. At that age many think there is nothing to achieve anymore, Sanders proved them wrong. He went on to become a billionaire at the age of 85. It doesn't matter when, he has made his mark in the history of successful business icons for many years to come.
It's never too old or young to dream. Therefore ask yourself; "What is my dream? Am I working toward it's realization? Will I look back years from now and thank myself for the dreams I had?"
@Fexonice1 in his article, Making your Dreams a Reality said; "Dream your dreams, and see that it is not just a dream, it is a reality. In the end, it is what makes us who we are". How true! https://read.cash/@Fexonice1/making-your-dreams-a-reality-6cb9645e
Treat your dreams with the attention they deserve. A dream without a plan action is just a wish.

Beauty; Still in the Eyes of the Beholder?
*Beauty has left the eyes of the beholder, it is now in the hands of the makeup artist. - Nigerian proverb*
The above statement is very popular in my country. It means that unless a lady applies makeup, most times a heavy one, then she is not beautiful. The saying started not because women are less beautiful without makeup, but because they are mostly on it.
YOU don’t like the way you look? Well, very few are entirely satisfied with their appearance. Unlike Narcissus, the greek mythology who fell in love with his reflection in a pool of water, some of us will nearly fall into the water when we see our reflection. Body image can have effects on a person’s self-confidence and what he does or does not do in life. A healthy concern about your appearance thus makes good sense.
**How Beauty is Defined**
The idea of beauty is not constant. It is mostly set by the media, celebrities and fashion homes that seek to sell their goods to the masses. In Europe, the beautiful woman might be described as tall, slender and sharp facial features. In Africa such woman would be thick, or chubby, not necessarily tall and sometimes fair in complexion. This makes the ladies try to change what they can about themselves, like bleaching, using body enhancement products and undergoing surgery.
The men are of course are not exempted. The beautiful man is one with a killer body and an attractive face. To achieve this they feel pressured to visit the gym and even take steroids that can have adverse effects on their health.
So to all, beauty is something physical, only skin deep. Really, is this all there is to beauty?
**The Real Beauty**
Beauty, in it's entirety, does not just depend on physical appearance. "Oh here we go again, the same old story", you might think. Well if it's an old story that you hear often, then you should try to consider it's credibility. Beauty is about values and respect and the right to exist without having to change who you fundamentally are.
Therefore, it is safe to say that real beauty far supercedes physical appearance. Let me give an example.
I was attracted to a fellow course mate in school. She was indeed beautiful. I approached her and made known my intentions, after some time we started dating. I have found the one, or have I? I started seeing red flags. She is the extremely clingy one, she doesn't want me to have any life apart from her. I no longer have time for myself, no time to do things I enjoy doing because she is always present. The last straw that broke the camel's back was when my twin brother came to visit when he was on school break. She told me that because my twin was around I didn't have time for her again. The audacity!
Eventually, "I can't get enough of your beautiful face" turned to "your presence annoys me". You can't really blame me can you? She won't even accept the fact that we need time outside our relationship. Surely, this is going nowhere. So I had to call it quits.
The point here is, she suddenly became unattractive to me. Why? Because of her attributes. Clearly, her beauty just wasn't enough. We all have instances where the person we so much admire physically suddenly turned unattractive, sometimes even within some minutes. So in the end it all comes down to character. Let me share with you another short experience.
I attended a party one night with a female friend. She saw a guy which I've got to admit, was really good looking. She was so focused on him and he eventually caught the signals. He approached her, they conversed for some time and collected her number. But we realized that she was not the only one for the night. As more girls were arriving he would go and meet them, flirt and collect their numbers too. It was ugly! She suddenly voiced how unattractive he was...(haha, you just said he was goodlooking!) Can you get the point?
Often, our first admission of beauty is wrong. Only until we get to know the person in question can we really answer if he/she is beautiful or not. Just like @jane said: We are all beautiful, it's our character that makes us ugly. Beauty is far more than what the physical eye can see at first.
Therefore if you have a good heart and character, you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

The lies they told us
*For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth -Bo Bennet*
You have most likely heard it said that colour red will incite a bull to rage; that it is right to lift a rabbit by it's ears; that a shell, held to the ear echoes the sea's roar. Can these notions stand up under investigation?
Unless you want to cross a path where there is a bull running free, you may not be worried about it's reaction to colour. However, experts prove that the animal is colour blind. If you think it is cruel to lift a cat by its tail, maybe you should have a second thought about lifting a rabbit by it's ears. Researchers report that rabbit ears are very delicate and sensitive. Hence, it is cruel to use them as handles.
Furthermore, that roaring sound you hear in the seashell—does it not sound like the ocean breaking upon the shore? All things considered, it is the unconventional type of the shell that gets and mixes the echoes of many close by sounds into a muted complex, and this can trick the clueless. You might want to explore different avenues regarding the shell in some totally tranquil spot where there are no echoes to be gotten.
Note: these are events most of us have heard and read about. I went ahead to do my research for validation.
**Fallacies of the past**
For quite a long time there were endeavors to find the formula for a mixture that would give never-ending life to the one drinking it.
In Europe and America trustworthiness was given to the presence of some place called a "Wellspring of Youth," apparently having recuperating powers and the capacity to make old people youthful.
Others frantically looked for an alleged logicians' stone that was said to have the ability to transform all metals into gold. (Still looking for update on this, those heaps of metal at my backyard...lol)
Additionally, there were numerous campaigns conveyed to find an envisioned El Dorado in the northern piece of South America—where, it was said, gold was so normal as to be utilized in dividers and rooftops. (Really?)
**Common lies today**
Indeed, even today there are deceptions regularly held. A portion of these have little impact on individuals for sure. For instance, there is the belief that the stomach is the main organ of digestion. However, the truth of the matter is that food starts to digest when blended in with spit in the mouth. Also, it is presently commonly realized that the small digestive system does the greater part of the processing, after the food has left the stomach.
Another normal belief is that hair can become dark unexpectedly by emotional shock. This isn't accurate. Hair becomes dim steadily. It can't become dim unexpectedly, since color is saved in hair before it outgrows the skin. Dermatologists have this to say regarding hair turning grey suddenly: "Only people with a certain rare disease lose their dark pigmented hair overnight, retaining only their grey hair.”It is true that fallacious or lies such as these have not resulted in harm to anyone. And were this true of every lies, the subject would hardly be worth considering.
**Dangerous fallacies**
In any case, some fallacies can be hazardous, even fatal. For instance, there is the generally held idea that frostbite ought to be rubber with snow. The truth is that this course may well worsen the issue. Stefansson, the popular Arctic traveler, pronounced that "couple of things could be more crazy" than the snow remedy for frostbite. What you ought to do, he said, "is to remove your warm hand from your glove and press it on the frozen spot briefly until the whiteness and firmness is gone."
Do you accept, as do a few, that lightning never strikes twice at a similar spot? Try not to rely on this. This, as well, is a risky fallacy that could prove fatal. Pictorial evidence uncovers that lightning regularly strikes in the same spot, even during the same downpour.
There is likewise the lie that quicksand itself will suck one under. This isn't accurate. Quicksand doesn't suck objects down. Entertaining this idea could cost an individual his life. Actually, quicksand upholds the body more than water does. It makes sense, then, that in the event that one can float in water, then he can float in a quicksand. It is the struggles of the one trapped in a quicksand that will make him sink deeper and deeper.
What, then, at that point, should an individual trapped in a quicksand do? He should remain calm and act with purpose. He ought to quickly lie on his back with his arms outstretched. In this position he won't sink. In the event that help doesn't show up, he may, with extraordinary exertion, gradually remove his feet, each in turn. Then, at that point he can move to firm ground, floating on his back till he gets to dry land.
**But does it matter**?
So does it truly matter that we put confidence in lies? On account of the "frostbite" and "quicksand" errors, it should be conceded that a lot of harm could result, maybe even death. Definitely, clearing our minds of all fallacies is the best and safest course.
Don't just believe everything you read it hear, make your own research. You never know when the information will come handy.

The Man Behind the Name
"What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." - Williams Shakespeare
I have to admit, when it comes to introducing myself I tend to keep it short. But then I plan to share some details about myself, how I got to know about this forum, BCH and I, I will have to defy my nature just this once.
My name is kennysplash, or Kenny. I am a Nigerian. I'm in my early 20's and I was born on August 28. (A perfect day for my first post right?). I am an ambivert, i.e I am neither an introvert nor an extrovert but have characteristics of each. I am dark in complexion, 5 ft and 10 inches tall but I always say 6ft to save time. I am not a picky eater, therefore I eat almost anything eatable and healthy. I love watching football and my favorite football club is Chelsea. (Up Blues 💙)
Education and career
I am a graduate, although not yet official. My graduation is mid-october and I studied Educational Technology. My dream is to be an entrepreneur after my graduation, and I am working towards achieving that dream. I want to be self employed and also provide employment opportunities to others. Besides, getting a good paying white-collar job is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. But then, there are vast opportunities in entrepreneurship.
Family
I have my love at first sight, sweet mother who sponsors and mentors me in every aspect of life. Indeed I am who I am, who I will be and achieve thanks to her. I have a twin brother, they say we look exactly the same but if they can look closely there is a difference. Only my immediate family and close friends can tell us apart, it is rocket science for others. We also love confusing people, it's fun.
Hobbies
Like is said earlier, I love watching football. I derive joy these past few months watching Chelsea play with such passion, such quality. There certainly will be silverware for us this season. I play table tennis and I am quite good at it. I am also an avid reader. I read a wide genre of books which includes: entrepreneurship, mythology, history, self improvement, romance and wildlife.
I wish I knew how to dance, but you know we all have that thing we love to do but it does not love us? Let me make an open apology to those that have seen me dance, I am so sorry for the trauma.
The BCH Journey
I want to make BCH my major investment. I sat down one day and thought of how the banks have been making a fortune from us. We save money then get peanuts as annual interest. For those operating current account, all sorts of meaningless and unaccountable fees are deducted regularly. If you have $150 in your account, 5 weeks later it will have reduced to $147. There is also the issue of inflation. Therefore, investment is the best decision to make.
When I came across noisecash platform on a forum 2 weeks ago, I did not waste time to register. Then I discovered readcash from there. I have read a lot of articles here and I just love the fact that there are valuable information here from a variety of writers. I hope to add to the quality of this platform by writing genuine and high quality articles. I also want to interact with other writers and learn from them.
My expectations
I love surprises, hence I lower my expectations. I want to write articles that will be of help to the community and at the same time enjoy the process. Of course it will require a lot of efforts and dedication, but in the end I am certain it will be worth it.
I appreciate you for getting to know this much about me. To express my gratitude, perhaps one day I will entertain you with a dance. If you are strong to withstand it...
It's one of those special days for me, and I am about to start enjoying it.
Gracias.
