There will always be opposition! Don't be afraid to fight
There will always be opposition, but don't be afraid to fight!

Happy Monday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a nice weekend, and I hope you have a great/productive week ahead.
It is a new week, meaning we all have to return to our various jobs and activities, and once again, the weekend has gone in the blink of an eye, literally.
I find it funny that we wait for five days to only two days as a rest day, and then we enter a new week and continue the cycle, sometimes it seems like life is a never-ending cycle.
**"If you ever want anything in life, you can never achieve it by being always being gentle, sometimes you have to put on your boxing gloves and get into the ring."**
I don't know if that quote makes sense because I just thought of it now, but for the sake of this article, I would like to explain what it means.
Life can give/show us hell sometimes, and I am sure most agree with that.
When you try to achieve or work on something, it throws a huge boulder to block your way, and you will end up feeling discouraged and miserable because you can no longer pursue what you want.
In this miserable moment, you find out that everything and everyone around you starts to change, and several people start to torment you so you can stay down and never recover.
Some people in this world have only one goal: to make sure others don't succeed more than them; I can only feel disgusted for this kind of people, but sadly they still exist, and they will always find ways to enter your life.
This person can come into your life as several things; they could be your relatives, friends, partners; as long as they are human, you can never fully trust a person because not everyone has good intentions for you, and that is the truth.
In a certain scenario, for example, there are two friends in a class, but only one gets 1st place, the other friend gets jealous and steals their notes so they can't read for their exams anymore, even though their notes were stolen, they still got 1st.
I will explain the morale of that story shortly, but let me ask a question.
**What do you do when you find yourself in a bad situation?**
**Do you wait for someone else to rescue you, or do you find other ways to get out?**
The story I just wrote shows you how others would want to bring you down because they feel jealous of you, these people may not steal your notes, but they can bring you down in other ways.
From stealing your notes, degrading you, spreading rumors, ignoring you, emotional abuse, and sometimes they even go as far as physical attacks so they can bring you down, but one thing you should never do is give them the pleasure of staying down.
When they knock you down, you stand back up, and if they do it again, you stand up again.
As I wrote in the title, there will always be opposition, but you have to deal with it because that is the only way to achieve what you want.
If it comes down to putting on your boxing gloves, then that is what you must do to attain what you want, and don't be afraid to knock this person down because they won't do the same if it were you.
Life will always be filled with an antagonist, so you have to ready yourself in all situations because you never know who it will throw to block your path, but I would say never to stay down.
Thank you for reading! I do hope to see you in the next one.

How to beat billing in Nigeria
Date: March 13th, 2022
Everyone in Nigeria knows that the country has been in recession for years, making many Nigerians adopt various survival tactics. One of such is learning how to avoid billing in Nigeria. Nigeria's economy has been bad for years, making living costs high. It is now becoming almost difficult to make ends meet, hence the need to cut off from unnecessary billing.
Yet it might seem hard to cut off from all the unnecessary billing if you are a Nigerian. However, in this article, we have highlighted how you can reduce your expenses on billing.
*****Firstly, what is billing?*****
Billing is a term that represents different contexts. The term can mean optional incurred charges that are insignificant and often come suddenly. However, the term represents how customers get money and how their products or services are discharged in business.
When individuals or any business organization tracks their incomes and expenditures daily, it is called billing.
What types of Bill do you need?
Yes, as Nigerians, we all can't avoid bills. We have to pay for phone bills, light bills even taxes. However, we tend to spend too much on unnecessary bills. I will show you how you can avoid unnecessary bills.
How to avoid billing in Nigeria.
Some ways to avoid unnecessary bills in Nigeria include:
*****1. Compile a list of the expenses you incur every month and prioritize them.*****
When you decide to save, the first step is to thoroughly examine all the expenses you incur and how you spend your money.
Make a list of the amount you need to settle each bill, including the time frame, how long it is valid, and how much the total bills will cost. You can then prioritize which bills can be cut out or reduced without causing problems.
*****2. Cut-off from unnecessary expenses.*****
If you have to, use a cheaper internet service provider, use a lower data plan, or even downgrade the plan on your cable TV. You can also shop for household items from local stores.
Having forehand knowledge of managing and cutting your expenses is an excellent way to save money and know how much you spend every month.
*****3. Figure out your rights as a consumer in Nigeria.*****
As customers, you have rights. For instance, as an electricity consumer, you have rights to a safe and reliable electricity supply; and it is the responsibility of the service providers to repair any damages to the transformers.
You have different rights as an electricity consumer; you have to figure out and understand all your rights if you want to avoid billing in Nigeria. Find out the amount of electricity you consume daily and estimate the bill accurately.
*****4. Consider buying second-hand products.*****
Purchase used or second-hand goods instead of purchasing new things when trying to avoid billing in Nigeria. Buying second-hand products can be a huge help in cutting off your expenses, but some people might be overly selective towards some household items. However, there is no need to spend too much when there are different affordable options.
Some families have been using second-hand items because they are affordable at their fair market prices compared to the cost they will incur if they purchase brand new. However, this does not mean you should purchase any item you see.
*****5. Find out if you are suitable to receive tax exemption from the government.*****
Determining if you are eligible to receive tax exemptions can help you save money. The government introduced a bill to allow individuals who are recipients of full-time education, below the age of 16, citizens above 55 years old, and pregnant women to enjoy tax exemption.
Hence, find out if you fall under these categories to avoid billing in Nigeria.
Conclusion.
The country's current economic condition is very bad. You can't afford to have a fallout with your resources. Hence, find ways to manage your resources and avoid billing in Nigeria. Do you have any ways or advice on how to avoid billing? Kindly drop it in the comments section.
It's all about the memories.
Date:12th March 2022
Happy Saturday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had an amazing Friday, and I am also praying that your Sunday will be even greater.
It is the seventh/sixth day of the week, and even the weekend is finally here, but I don’t feel too happy because I know I would still have to be reading a lot so I can pass my exams, but I know I will be able to do it.
I have been recalling the past few days, maybe it is because I have been reading, but for some reason, I was thinking of the past, especially last year.
I can’t believe it was just last year that I wrote my college entrance examinations, and I can remember this time last year.
My friends and I were worried about which university we would want to go to, if we would ever see each other again, and where we would end up in life.
Sometimes I look at life and wonder how fast time passes by us, and all the past events we had with people just become memories in our minds, and they may be in our minds forever because all we have to remember them are the memories that we shared with them.
We fail to understand that memories are essential, and without them, we end up becoming another person because we have lost what makes “Us,” which is our memories.
Our memories help make us who we are; from remembering our nostalgic childhood to remembering where we left our socks, combs, or car keys, memories play an essential role in every aspect of our lives.
Memories provide us with that sense of self that makes up our continual experiences in life.
We are prone to think of our memories as a basket or a mental filing cabinet, storing away little/bits of information until we need them, but in reality, memories are way more complex than that.
Memories are long-lasting and vivid, but that also means they can be prone to forgetting and inaccuracies.
There are many memories I wish I could recall because they mean a lot to me; one of them would be the time I spent with my grandpa before he passed away, I was very little during that time, and I usually spent time with him because he wasn’t feeling well. Still, when he passed away, it was like nothing ever happened.
I can only remember bits and pieces of my relationship with him, but something I can remember is how he always called my name to make sure it was me.
My grandpa was blind so he couldn’t identify people anymore, but he always called my name, stroked my head, and smiled.
I would never have imagined losing him, but I am so glad I can remember some parts of my relationship with him because those memories mean so much to me, and I hope I will never forget my grandpa.
I am sure we have special memories that we never want to forget; it may not be your grandpa, maybe your parents, partner, or something that means a lot to you.
My point is that we should always cherish the present because all the events that we are doing today may become fading memories soon.
We should do our best to create the best memories with the people we love and cherish, and living in the present would be a great way to do that.
You don’t have to work all the time; sometimes you could take a break and go out with friends or family, it doesn’t have to be expensive, it could be a simple picnic in a garden of flowers, or even watching a good movie.
I like to record my outings with my family because it will make sure I never forget the happiness I felt on that day, and the memories I made with my family will forever be stored in my heart.
All I am saying is those good memories won’t come if you don’t make them, and the only means you can make them is by doing the necessary, don’t waste time or procrastinate, because you never know the future.
Love and cherish your loved ones today; you will not only make them happy, but you will also find out that you will be way happier than normal and make some good memories.
**“It is all about the memories.”**
3 things I can't live without
Date:11th March 2022
Happy Friday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had an amazing Thursday, and I am also praying that your Friday will be even greater.
It is finally Friday, everyone, the day I have been waiting for even though I have no purpose or reason to wait for it.
Still, I guess at least it means I can finally wake up a little bit later than my normal sleeping schedule, but I would still have to read a lot due to the upcoming exams.
This article is meant to list three things which I cannot live without, but if I were to reverse that and say things I can live without, then I am sure “Exams” would be the first on my list because I genuinely hate it a lot, but I guess everyone must do it, so there is no point complaining.
Lately, I have been seeing a lot of articles on this topic which I am writing now, and I thought it was an ongoing trend, so I thought to myself, why not join in?
It won’t affect me; it would actually help me get more things to write about.
All the articles I have read on this topic have been quite interesting. Everyone has different things that they can’t live without. I recently read the @Jumper-01 version, which was quite sweet because he genuinely values his family.
I don’t want to make this article lengthy, so I would try my best to make it as short and enjoyable as possible, so I hope you enjoy reading it.
*****I can’t live without water*****.
Sometimes I wonder how some people can stay from morning till evening without having a glass of water.
My friends do this a lot, and sometimes I wonder if they are truly human because if I were to join them in doing so, I would find myself in a hospital with an injection in my hand.
I am sure I would end up in the hospital if I didn’t drink water every 10-20 minutes, because to me, water genuinely is life, and without it, I wouldn’t be able to do some activities because I would not have any strength.
Water is like food, and sometimes it is even more important than food because you could survive without food for 8-21 days but can’t survive without water for three days.
Can you imagine the significance of water, but we still take it for granted.
Most of us always forget to drink water, and we carry on our daily activities without even a drop of water in our system.
Still, we shouldn’t be doing this because water is essential to us, and we should stay hydrated at all times.
When you are dehydrated, you will start seeing the effects in your life such as fatigue, dry mouth, lips and eyes, and feeling light-headed, sometimes it may even lead you to death if you don’t take it seriously.
I can’t stress the importance of water any more than this, but something I would say is **“Stay Hydrated at all times.”**
*****I can’t live without loved ones*****.
Family and Friends are important to me because they are the building blocks in my life, and without them, I don’t think I would be the person I am today.
My family is genuinely the best thing that has happened to me since birth, and I am so grateful to God for my parents because they are the best parents I could ask for.
I am grateful to God for an amazing older brother who tries his best to make sure I am always going down the right path and helps me anytime I am in trouble.
I love my family, and I don’t know where I would be without them.
*****I can’t live without my phone/music*****.
I put my phone and music together because I normally use my phone to listen to music, and I am sure I won’t be able to go full mode if I don’t have some good music playing in my ear.
Music genuinely makes my morning, afternoon, and evenings better because there is always something new in the lyrics, even though you have heard it dozens of times.
I have written some articles on music, and if you have read them, you would know the type of music that truly gets my blood pumping, such as Lo-Fi and 50s music.

Beating the Heat!
Date:10th March 2022
Happy Thursday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had an amazing Wednesday, and I am also praying that your Thursday will be even greater.
We are finally close to Friday, which means we are close to the weekend.
I don’t even know why I am happy, it is not like I will be doing anything different from the normal day, but I guess there is this good feeling I get when it is the weekend.
The weekend has a way of making everything good again, especially because I don’t have to be entering that “Hell” called the sun.
Nowadays, it seems like the sun is getting angrier at the world because it has become quite severe, especially during the afternoons.
The worst part is that it personally attacks me; sometimes, I feel like I am being hit by a magnifying glass.
I have no idea if I am the only person passing through this, but does anyone ever feel like the sun is personally attacking them alone and only focusing on making you burn to the ground?
Please leave it in the comments if you have ever had this experience; I would love to know I am not the only person passing through this.
Another thing I hate about this heat is the fact that it completely overpowers the rain because even when it rains, it feels like nothing happened. The sun even comes back up with greater power and dries everything up immediately.
I may be overreacting, but I wish I would have two days of only rain because I genuinely need that type of weather right now, especially during the weekends. I wish this could happen. Does anyone feel the same way?
Even if I don’t have an AC in my room, I have found plenty of ways to keep cooking with a hand fan, ice, and a few tricks I learned from the web, and that is what this article would be about.
I will be writing on ways to beat the heat in your area, and I hope this article can help you because there is nothing worse than hot weather.
Without further ado, let me give my first trick, which is:
***Sleeping under a damp towel***
I can recall when I read this one, I was quite skeptical about it because I thought it would only give me cold in the morning, but I fell in love with it the moment I tried it, especially when you add a fan to the equation, it would feel like heaven.
It will make you cool as you sleep, and the towel will most likely dry by morning.
I don’t recommend this trick for everyone, but feel free to do so if you want to try it.
***Wetting the Curtains***
This is the second trick I learned from my research, and even a few friends of mine do it at night when they are about to sleep.
Soaking your curtains or leaving the bottom to stay in a bucket of water is a nice way to cool down any incoming sunlight or breeze from the outside.
I would say this trick only works if you can get the air to evaporate the water, so maybe you could run a fan simultaneously or choose a window with a draft coming through.
***Buying or building an Ice-Pack Hat***
This one is my best because it has helped me solve heat problems and reduce/eliminate headaches I have had in the past.
You could either buy or build your own ice-pack hat; it depends on the varying degrees of cost and effectiveness.
If you are looking for a cheap chill, throw some wet dish towels in your freezer, or pick up two ice packs from a store.
***Keeping Moisturizers in the fridge***
This trick is easiest because it doesn’t really take much money to do, especially if you already have a moisturizer.
If you could imagine rubbing a cold moisturizer on your feet or forehead in the middle of a blazing day, what a relief that would be, right?
I am sure most people would like this one because it genuinely is so refreshing, especially if the moisturizer is at a good temperature and mixed with a tube of Aloe Vera.
Thank you for reading!
Best to be prepared
Date:9th March 2022
Happy Tuesday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had an amazing Monday, and I am also praying that your Tuesday will be even greater.
We are on the second day of the week, and I am sure most of us already wish for the weekend to come again because sometimes the previous week’s stress still resides, and two days isn’t enough to rid us.
Sometimes life can be extremely stressful, and I am sure most of us want to give up because it seems like nothing seems to be working out as planned, and no matter what you do, you seem to be stuck at a certain point.
When stuck at a point, most people tend to stop caring and give up on moving forward or doing anything else because they let fear and frustration rule them.
Let me tell you one thing, the moment you decide to stop improving yourself, that is the moment you have lost to life.
If you aim for something in this life, you need to understand the importance of improving yourself. I always tell myself, “Time waits for no one,” so whatever you want to become starts now, and there is no point in throwing time away because it will affect your goals later on.
My parents always told me something when I was growing up back then, I hated going to school because I felt like it didn’t help in the real world, and there was no way I would use what they taught me to survive in the real world.
“Even if you don’t think it will help you, you never know what situation you will be put in the future, so it is better for you to be prepared, so that when opportunities come you will take them.”
At first, I didn’t think what they said made sense because all I wanted was to stop going to school, and they were telling me this, but as time passed, I began to understand it because they kept telling me over and over, and I began seeing their words in real life.
For instance, there is no way I would be able to write a 600+ article if I hadn’t gone to school because I won’t even know how to start one, and if I can’t write articles, then it would have been impossible for me to join this platform, and earn here.
If I hadn’t gone to school, I wouldn’t talk with people because I would always lack confidence or feel shy when talking.
I won’t think I am on the same level as them, which will make me think that they are higher than me and think that I am lower than them due to my lack of education.
I would potentially lose many opportunities if I didn’t go to school, which no one can deny.
There are other benefits I have gotten from going to school. Still, I am guessing you already know the point I am making: if you don’t make preparations, or if you are not prepared for the future, then time will pass you by, and with time comes opportunities, which will also pass you by.
There are individuals in the world who have had numerous life-changing opportunities come into their lives.
The problem is they didn’t prepare themselves for these opportunities; instead, they stood still while time passed them by, and all they did was watch.
My lecturer told us a story the other day, which was how he originally worked as a carpenter for five years after graduating, even though he was supposed to be an accountant.
Still, because there was no work for him, he had to choose something out of his field.
During his five years as a carpenter, he kept practicing accounting and preparing himself for the future because he knew one day he would get an opportunity to change his situation. Finally, he did get a job at a firm.
From his story, I was able to get the importance of being prepared for the future; you never know what will happen; it is always better for you to be on your feet at all times so that when life throws you a lemon, you can make lemonade.
Thank you for reading!?
Nothing wrong with a normal life!
Date: 7th March 2022
Happy Monday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a nice weekend, and I hope you have a great/productive week ahead.
It is a new week, which means we all have to return to our various jobs and activities. Sometimes I don’t particularly appreciate blinking during the weekends because it genuinely goes in a flash.
I remember when I celebrated Friday, but now I am in a new week preparing for exams; life truly doesn’t wait for anyone.
I want to start this article with a story from when I was younger, this story goes way back to when I was in primary/grade school, but for some reason, I can remember it clearly, maybe because I have been asking myself the same question since then.
When we were all gathered in class, our teacher asked every student their future dreams, car, and all sorts of things associated.
As usual, everyone, including myself, talked about big houses, the best cars, and the best life that we could ever imagine.
It reached the last student’s turn, and when they were asked, the teacher was shocked because their answer was different from the rest of us and not what you would expect from a child of that age.
***“When I grow up, I want an average life, with a normal family, normal house, normal car, and everything else, that is my dream said the student.”***
The teacher had to check if what they heard was true, and she asked the question again, but the student gave the teacher the same answer, and even further asked the teacher a question,
**“Teacher, what is wrong with being normal?**
Our teacher stood there thinking of what they could tell the student, and for a minute, the class was silent.
We were thinking of what to say, and it got to a point where we wanted to know the answer.
**“What is wrong with being Normal?**
From a tender age, we are all taught that we should let our imaginations run wild and never settle for normal because normal is poor, but is that the truth?
I see no problem with individuals wanting to live an average/normal life because it is all up to them, and not everyone wants to live luxurious lives.
I don’t particularly appreciate how society pushes the idea that being a normal/average person means that you are garbage.
In the society that we live in.
If a person isn’t living luxuriously or living the so-called best life, we would normally consider them not reaching their full potential or lazy people because they are unwilling to achieve more, but that shouldn’t be how things operate.
I have seen many people who have suffered from this societal problem because they spend all their time working and grinding to achieve this so-called “best life” that society has put on a pedestal.
Sometimes these people even end up overworking themselves to death, all in the name of achieving it.
I don’t know how far we have come in this world to the point where having a normal car and normal life is considered bad; I understand it is good always to dream big.
Still, you should know that having all those luxurious stuff doesn’t necessarily mean that you will live the best life.
**“The Rich do Cry,” they say.**
There are tons of rich/wealthy people who may seem like they have it all, but you would rather be yourself than be them because if they were to tell you what they were passing through, you wouldn’t even want to be rich anymore.
I am trying to say that it doesn’t matter if you want to live a luxurious or normal life; all that should matter to you is finding the place that you feel most comfortable in because, after all, you are more important.
There is no point in killing yourself over something that won’t guarantee your happiness.
**“Is there anything wrong with being Normal?**

Aren't you important also?
Date: 6th March 2022
Happy Sunday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a nice Saturday, and I hope you had a relaxing weekend.
It is the end of the weekend, which means it is time to use our bodies and minds for the events of the new week, and we all have to return to our various jobs and activities.
I didn't think I would be writing on this topic, but with the environment, I am in, I finally got the inspiration to write on it because it is something I see every day, and I feel like I should write about it.
**"Why do we feel like we need others to validate our existence?"**
**"Why allow others decisions affect your actions?"**
I have noticed that it takes a strong will to keep one's values, especially when surrounded by many people/personalities.
If a person doesn't conform to the norms of their surroundings, then they won't be able to make friends/allies.
I have seen a few scenarios of this in my surroundings because some friends of mine have changed themselves so they can be able to fit into the norms of their surroundings, and while I can't blame them because "fitting in" is part of human nature, I thought to myself.
**"Why not be yourself and gain friends/allies that way? Why must you change yourself to get the attention of others?**
I am sure some of us have done this phase of changing ourselves to fit in with others, but have we asked ourselves, **"why we do it."**
**Why do you believe that your true self is not important or amazing enough to gain friends"?**
**Why do you believe that you have to change yourself to gain the attention of others"? Why not be yourself.**
The problem with people is that they want to force relationships to happen no matter what. Even if it comes down to changing themselves to meet the other person's requirements, they are willing to do it because they crave validation from others to survive.
Some people can't live without the approval of other people around them, and the moment they can't get this approval, you see them doing all sorts of things to get it.
I think the problem with most people is that in their minds, they have accepted the fact that they are not important or that others are better than them, and you see this in their actions.
A person who has never smoked, drank alcohol, or taken drugs immediately starts taking them so they can fit in with their so-called friends. They start forgetting their previous values/morals, and eventually, they forget themselves.
This situation also happens a lot in relationships, where one party wants to change their entire self to fit in with the other parties' lifestyle. Sometimes this ends up causing more problems to the relationship because you no longer have an identity anymore.
We all have to understand that we are as important as the person we think is more important than us.
You should never think of yourself as lower than another person because you are selling your identity/uniqueness out when you do that.
**"You are also important."**
I believe we should always be telling ourselves that, especially when we find our confidence low, because when you do that, you will be able to stand your ground and withhold your values, no matter how much pressure comes near you.
There will always be pressure on you to change yourself and be like others, but you should always ask yourself if what you are changing for will actually benefit you or slow you down because many people tend to change themselves for the wrong reasons.
Before I end the article, I want to leave you with a question,
**"Have you ever changed yourself to meet another person's requirements or to join a group."**
**Thank you for reading.**
Addiction or Want? Which leads you to success.
Date: 5th March 2022
Happy Saturday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I pray you all are having an amazing Saturday, and I hope you have a relaxing weekend.
It is the end of the week, which means it is time to rest our bodies and minds for the events of the new week, and we all have to return to our various jobs and activities.
Most of us have things that we are addicted to, whether Fashion, Accessories, or Money, and I know I am addicted to sleeping, even though lately I haven’t been able to get it.
**“We all have something we are addicted towards, whether it be drugs, work, food, sex, validation, everyone has that one thing that helps them up, and no matter how much you deny it, you will always come back to it.**
As I wrote previously, we all have that one thing that we can’t live without, whether our phones, internet, or people, there would always be something in your life that you value more than anything, but that doesn’t mean that is bad.
**By definition, addiction is being addicted to a particular substance or activity.**
I won’t stay here and write that all addictions have benefits or are good to the user, but addiction may help you achieve things in life.
This example might not be a good one, but some people work hard in their various jobs so they can be able to accommodate their addictions.
I once read an article on how certain individuals got wealthy.
While I was reading, I was shocked to read a particular story about a certain individual that worked hard at their job so they could be able to afford drugs, such as heroin and cocaine.
They stated that the easiest way to make wealth is to have a certain goal/addiction because this will help your mind focus and keep on grinding no matter how bad things get.
I was confused at first. After all, the reason for making money seemed kind of weird and dumb because it was making money only to spend it on addictions that didn’t even benefit them.
Even though I couldn’t agree with their reason for gaining wealth, I had to admit that their theory, in a way, is correct because that is mostly the reason why people gain wealth, which is to satisfy their addictions/goals.
I tried proving this theory by asking some people why they decided to make money, and I was quite surprised when I proved the theory because most people tend to make money for their addictions.
One person said they make their money so they can buy/afford makeup because, according to them, they can’t imagine themselves living without putting makeup on. If they can’t make enough money, they won’t be able to buy the best cosmetic products.
I asked another person why they make money. Like the previous person, they responded that they couldn’t afford expensive accessories such as watches, chains, and diamonds without money.
Their answers made me think about why people make money and if that “individuals” theory about addiction is true.
I asked myself why I wanted to make money, and even though it took a lot of rejection on my part, I finally told myself the truth, which is so I could afford good things.
But the question is that an Addiction? Can you say wanting “Good things” is an addiction?
I would say Yes & No to that question because I could live without having good things, which means it is not an addiction, instead it is a want, but this is where my yes answer comes to play, because when you have good things, then you become addicted to them, which means you will want to work harder to sustain it.
Something becomes an addiction only when you know how good it is, so I would say that wanting good things may not be an addiction, but it is when you have good things that you will become addicted to them.
If I could fix that “Individuals” quote, I would write it like this.
**“Want is what drives us to become wealthy, but what keeps us wealthy is our addiction to our want.”**
I don’t know if it is the correct way to put it, but that is the only way I can put it now because not all addictions lead you to wealth.
**Conclusion**
It looks like the article is becoming a bit lengthy, and I don’t want that so I will end it here for today, but I want to hear your response/comments on it.
**What do you think drives us to wealth, our addictions, or our wants?**
**What is your addiction?**

Six steps to Healthier skin
Hello everyone! Oikawa here with an article that I know you would love if you look to have healthier skin without stepping out of your house.
In this article, I will be listing down some proven steps that will help you improve your skin, and I am sure with these steps, you will be able to get healthier and smoother-looking skin in no time.

Without further ado, let me show you six types that will help improve your skin. I hope this article benefits you.
**Honey and Brown Sugar mixture**
I have noticed that many people don't know the benefit of honey and brown sugar to the skin, and we only seem to enjoy it in our meals, but the truth is honey&brown sugar is essential if you are looking for healthy skin.
They both have many benefits to the skin, but I will only be listing a few, so the article doesn't get long.
Honey&Brown sugar is great when adding a natural glow to your skin, and this is scientifically proven; they both exfoliate dead cells from the outer skin and hydrate it. Which in turn gives the skin a shiny glow
Honey&Brown sugar is essential to lighten your skin and remove scars because the Glycolic acid boosts the skin's fairness.
Below is how to make a mixture of both; try it at home if you want glowing skin.
*****Firstly,***** take a spoon of honey and half of a brown sugar cup and mix them. The next step is to apply the mixture to your skin and wait for 10 minutes.
After doing that, you have to rinse it off with warm water and pat dry gently.
Remember, brown sugar helps remove dead cells, while honey has anti-bacterial properties, which help treat acne problems.
*****Secondly*****, take one tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl and add two tablespoons of lemon juice.
You have to mix them well and apply them to your face for around 20 minutes.
Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties, while lemon reduces the effects of sun damage and accelerates the skin's natural healing process.
**Olive Oil and Cucumber Juice**
Thirdly, take half of a cup of cucumber and peel it off, then grate it into pieces and squeeze out the juice. Mix one tablespoon of olive oil in cucumber juice and apply it to your face for around 15 minutes.
You have to rinse off with cold water and pat dry gently.
Cucumber refreshes your skin by removing dirt, excess oils, and impurities from your pores, while olive oil tightens them up without causing irritation or redness like commercial products do.
Brown sugar, honey, and lemon juice
Fourthly, mix two tablespoons of brown sugar, two tablespoons of honey, and one teaspoon of lemon juice into a paste.
Apply them on your face for around 15 minutes, then rinse off with cold water and pat dry gently.
Honey has anti-bacterial properties, which help treat acne problems, while brown sugar helps remove dead cells from the skin's surface, leaving it soft and healthier looking.
Lemon juice, honey, and egg white
Fifthly, take one tablespoon of lemon juice, two tablespoons of honey, and one egg white in a bowl. Mix them to make a paste and apply it to your face for around 20 minutes.
You have to rinse off with warm water and pat dry gently.

Lemon reduces the effects of sun damage, while honey has moisturizing properties that leave your skin healthier looking after each use. Egg whites tighten up pores naturally and help in reducing their appearance.
Cucumber, oatmeal, honey, and flour
Sixthly, grate half of a cucumber into pieces and squeeze out the juice.
Then add three tablespoons of flour, one tablespoon of oatmeal, and two tablespoons of honey into it to make a paste.
https://images.lifealth.com/uploads/2018/07/Cucumber-juice-for-skin-How-does-cucumber-juice-help-to-get-flawless-and-clear-skin.jpg
Apply them on your face for around 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and pat dry gently.
Cucumber refreshes your skin by removing dirt, excess oils, and impurities from your pores.
At the same time, oatmeal has exfoliating properties that remove dead cells from the skin's surface, leaving it healthier looking.
Flour tones up your skin and brings its natural color and shine to the surface.
If you follow these easy steps regularly, healthier skin will be yours in no time!
Thank you for reading my article, and I hope it helps you get your desired skin.
Emotional Intelligence
Date: 20th February 2022
Happy Sunday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a nice Sunday, and I hope you had a relaxing weekend.
It is the end of the weekend, which means it is time to use our bodies and minds for the events of the new week and we all have to return to our various jobs and activities.
Many of us have been in relationships, whether present or the past, which is why I am sure we can relate to the topic.
Relationships are not an easy task because there are many things involved, and one of them is emotions/feelings.
Emotions are the pioneers of every relationship, and it is also the deciding factor to whether a relationship will be long-lasting or short.
Emotions/the way you feel can be incredibly deceiving sometimes because, like oxygen, we can’t see them, but we know they exist, and they guide us when we are dealing with other people.
Notice that if you don’t feel too good about another person, you won’t try to associate with them; instead, you will even find yourself avoiding them, but when you feel good about someone, you will find yourself going closer to them anytime you find the chance.
I have seen a lot of people who have given into their emotions, and while it is good to follow your feelings and not hold them in, your emotions can sometimes lead you to hurt yourself and even those around you.
Even if I know it may never be possible, I think it would be great if schools taught students how emotions work and how to control them, because many children come out of school thinking that academic skills are the only thing that matters in the world, but that isn’t true.
In the real world, we have to deal with tons of people.
Not everyone will have the same mentality as you, so I think it is essential for children to learn emotional intelligence because it will help them when they eventually enter society.
I am not very great at handling my emotions, and anytime I find myself being overwhelmed by them, I quickly turn to things that will take my mind off them, maybe writing an article or playing a game.
I say emotions can be our greatest enemy because we are usually not the ones who control how we feel about things, and sometimes we give other people control over our own emotions.
Most people let others control how they feel, and that is why you see them either depressed or confused because they are always in a never-ending loop of emotions, and they don’t even have the control switch for their emotions anymore.
When you let what others think or say about you control how you feel, you will eventually lose yourself.
Emotional intelligence is something I think we all need to have because it is when you have total control over your emotions that you will truly begin to live the way you want.
It has even been scientifically proven that when you are emotionally intelligent, you will be able to adapt better whenever change comes.
Not many people in the world love change, but when you have mastered/better control over your emotions, you will have all the tools necessary to deal with any change that occurs both in your life and workplace.
The best thing about emotional intelligence is that it benefits you in all areas of life.
Wherever you find yourself, whether in school, work, or at home when you learn to control your emotions, you will be able to adapt to anything.
Sometimes work can be hard, especially those jobs where you have to deal with customers/people, because you will always see people who will try to make you upset, which may lead to you having tough conversations.
If you have the right skills necessary, I am sure you will find it easier to communicate with the other individual, which would help you settle disputes and arguments easier.
As you can see, emotional intelligence has its benefits, but these are only a few of them, and there are still many more benefits, but for the sake of this article, I would only put these two in there.
I hope you have learned more about emotional intelligence and how your emotions can affect you and those around you with this article. Thank you for reading
#5 Months on Readcash🐱🏍🔥
Date: 7th February 2022
Happy Monday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a nice weekend, and I hope you have a great/productive week ahead.
It is a new week, which means we all have to return to our various jobs and activities, but I know some of us still work on the weekends, and I pray your efforts are rewarded.
I am so excited to say I have been on this platform for 5months, even though it only seems like I recently joined.
Who would have thought that I would make it to the 5th month?
Even though it is easy to say getting here was not an easy task, I am glad I achieved it.
There are many things that I have been able to accomplish in my five months here, and I am sure I will gain more in the next months to come.
When I had 66 subscribers, I remember I was three weeks old, and it was my third account, so I wasn't sure if it would be successful.
At that point in time, I wasn't focused on the platform because I had been marked as spam twice, and I was feeling so disappointed in myself, so I didn't want to put in too much effort.
By reading and interacting with other users, I was able to find the motivation to write and post daily, and they showed me how the site works and what caused my other accounts to be marked as spam.
I am grateful to those who helped me when I was new here; I wouldn't have reached this point without your help; I pray for good things in your life.
On my first two accounts, I wasn't noticed by Rusty even when I had been a user for a month, which disappointed me because all my articles weren't noticed by users either.
If I had been successful with my first account, I am sure I would be celebrating my 7th month here, but I am sure God had other plans for me so that I won't worry too much about those accounts; I am happy I was able to have this account.
With this "Oikawa" account, I have been able to post articles I am proud of and meet many excellent writers who post amazing content on this platform.
As I am writing this article, I have 304 subscribers and 100+ articles. It is a great accomplishment from my previous accounts, where I had absolutely nothing but lengthy articles.
I am glad I never gave up and continued writing on this platform, I don't know what the future holds, but I will grab it with my hands.
For newbies starting the platform, don't focus too much on only earning; that will only reduce your chances of earning.
Learn to enjoy the platform, read articles, comment, or reward the writer because it helps the platform grow, and it also helps you grow.
I also suggest you read the introductory post, rules, and Rusty's articles because they are important, don't give up when you don't get tips, request help from someone willing to help.
This platform has a lot of kind people who will teach you the ropes, you can also ask me, and I will help you.
**CONCLUSION**
**What are you waiting for? Don't you want to join this platform and start your journey?**
**Don't be scared, "Start your Journey". You may not earn a lot when you start, but you will be sure to reap the benefits from it as time goes on.**
**Read.cash is one of the best-earning platforms out there, and I am glad I didn't let the opportunity slip by. Don't let it slip past you also.**
**This platform is fantastic, and I am sure you will say the same when you start.**
I want to thank @LeticiaFelize for her sponsorship; I am grateful for your support.
**Oikawa Note:**
***I know I haven't been online recently, and that is because the internet is so bad where I stay, I can't even make phone calls.***
***I have to walk a far distance before I can get a stable connection, and I can't even use my laptop to write an article over there because it is prohibited.***
***I will try buying a new internet service, maybe that would help my situation, and I hope it does because life is quite hard without an internet connection.***
**Thank you for being so supportive these five months, and I 2hope you keep supporting me** **🙇****!!** https://emojipedia.org/person-bowing/#:~:text=Emoji%20Meaning,head%20resting%20on%20hands%22%20gesture.

Learning to Adapt
**Date: 3rd February 2022**
**Happy Thursday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Thursday, and I hope you also have a great Saturday.**
It is the end of another great week, and soon we will be seeing the end of another week that will surprise us even more than the last.
I have said this before, but time goes so fast sometimes, and we can’t even be prepared for what it has in store for us; the only thing we can do is try our best to make it work.
Something I always find difficult in life is fitting in with other people. It can be not easy communicating with people, especially when I find myself in a new place I have never been to.
New surroundings are hard to adapt to, especially when you don’t know anyone or any place to go to, and your mind is always signaling you to stay alert at all times, even when nothing seems to be happening.
Talking with other people is not something everyone can do, and I sometimes admire individuals who can make a lot of friends even when they find themselves in an unknown place because anytime I try to do that, I quickly pull back and go my way.
Maybe it is because I am an introverted person, but communicating with people always makes me confused because the thought of talking with another person is quite stressful.
I don’t even know how to start a conversation.
In the new school, I am in, there are tons of people that I can’t even count, and the first time I entered, I was so surprised because that was the first time I had seen so many people in one place.
Before, I didn’t even know there were many people in university, and I thought it would only be a small group of people, but I guess I was wrong.
Something I find funny is how almost everyone has a crazy hairstyle and hair color because where I am from, everyone usually has the same hair color: black.
Still, it seems like they allow students to dye their hair and even keep long hair over here.
I was astonished to see someone’s hair reaching their knee; I hoped it was a wig because I don’t believe anyone can have hair that long.
There are many people in this school, black, light-skinned, tall, short, and in a way, it has taught me that the world is filled with many types of people, and there isn’t just one person inside all of us.
Being new to the school, I don’t have anything to do except go to classes, so I decided to research a few groups of people that I have found to be quite interesting, and I guess I would list them out now.
**. The First Years**
These are my classmates, and they are also new to the school, but try their best to make friends with other people while keeping up with the timetables.
First years are always so weird because they are always looking for groups to join, and this is why they are easily influenced to do things; and I have even seen a few first years do things they shouldn’t be doing, but I guess they don’t think of this since they are still young.
**. The Fashionistas**
This group is the funniest because they always come up with the best dressings and hair designs.
Every time I see them, they always have a different hairstyle and color, and even if sometimes they can seem weird/sensual, they are pretty nice people who love being beautiful.
**. The Bad Guys**
I’m not fond of this kind of group because they don’t benefit anyone, and all they do is try to look cool without even knowing what the word means.
They bully and miss classes because they think doing all this will make them look cool to girls, and what I find weird is how girls always follow this kind of guy who doesn’t follow the rules, but I guess that is their preference.
Anyway, I would end this article here for today. Thank you for reading
My Top 2 MCU movies of 2022
Date: January 19th, 2022
Hello Readers! I pray you all are having a lovely week and a fantastic Wednesday! As I always say, don’t forget to stay hydrated at all times; drinking water is necessary if you want to stay alive.
For 13 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) has brought out great movies that have set the bar for modern superhero movies. Most of us love watching our favorite superheroes come to life through the amazing actors that the studios have hired.
I am sure most of us can still remember the first MCU movie, which was Iron Man 1, and even though I was relatively young when it came out, I can remember how fantastic the movie was, and that movie made it me; love superheroes so much.
I won’t say Iron Man 1 was the best superhero movie because there would be no Iron-Man movie if the “Spider-Man” movies weren’t there, and that is why I will always respect the first Spider-Man movie. I want to check if other people love the first Spider-Man Trilogy; if you do, please leave a comment.
There have been tons of MCU movies after Iron-Man, such as Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Spiderman, and each of them was a great movie that made us love superheroes more.
https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Spider-Man-1-2-3-Sam-Raimi-posters.jpg
Recently, Phase 3 of the MCU has come to a close with the defeat of Thanos and the death of many loved characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow.
However, even with their death, I am sure the MCU movies will still be great because we already have a Phase 4 approach.
Marvel’s Phase 4 started with Wanda-Vision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and many others, especially my favorite Loki.
https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/KklWpW8Gst9Cq8_1HrIIFhS-kug=/0x0:1920x1080/1200x800/filters:focal(807x387:1113x693)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/68824751/wandavision.0.jpg
It was lovely to finally see my favorite character get his series because Tom Hiddleston is the best Loki for me.
Today, I will be writing a summary of my top two MCU phase 4 movies/series that are coming out in 2022.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
I am sure everyone is excited for this one because I think this is the most anticipated movie of 2022.
After all, the community has been waiting for a Multiverse story, and we finally got it with this movie.
https://phantom-marca.unidadeditorial.es/6623179106a9e207ab3f887dd93196ca/f/jpg/assets/multimedia/imagenes/2021/08/28/16301568264883.jpg
This movie is sure to break the internet just like Spider-Man: No Way Home did with the multiverse being shown to exist, and we were even able to see three generations of Spider-men come alive on the screen, and do what they do best, be our friendly neighborhood Spider-man,
There have been rumors that the new Doctor Strange movie would be bringing back many old actors from past MCU movies, such as X-Men, Wolverine, and even a new Iron-Man, but these are all rumors, so we can’t go by them.
But I am sure many people would be happy if we could see Hugh Jackman play Wolverine once again, and maybe we would even see new characters come into the MCU in this movie.
It is set to come out on May 4th, and I am sure it would have a great reception from the audience.
*****She-Hulk!*****
I am incredibly interested in the upcoming She-Hulk series because I think She-Hulk is the best female character in the MCU.
After all, she is a funny character and relatable to ordinary people.
https://terrigen-cdn-dev.marvel.com/content/prod/1x/shehulk001cov_bartel.jpg
Being a lawyer before she eventually gets her powers, She-Hulk has to battle two different personalities/life. She also must understand that she is no longer a regular human being, but that doesn’t mean she is a monster.
I am not sure how the adaptation would go, but I hope they do a great job developing her character instead of dumping powers on her and forgetting that character development exists.
I am also excited about this series because we may see Hulk helping her adjust to her new life and also showing her how her powers aren’t a curse or a blessing, but both.
I don’t want to make my article lengthy, so I think I may end it here for today!
Which Phase 4 movie are you waiting for? Could you leave it in the comment section?
Experiencing New Things (Journey)
Date: 18th January 2022
Hello Readers! I pray you all have a lovely week and a fantastic Tuesday! Remember to stay hydrated at all times because drinking water is essential.
The past few days, I have been absent on this platform, and even though I posted a short note on my absence, it wasn’t even published when I checked it; maybe it was a bug or something else.
I am sorry for not interacting with everyone and failing to explain why, and that is what this article would be about.
Universities have opened, and I am starting my first year in college.
Still, the distance from the college to my average town is quite far, it is even in a different state, and while traveling, I couldn’t use my phone or laptop to interact on the platform; I will give my reason later in the article.
It genuinely was exciting going to a new state, especially since I hadn’t traveled in a long time (11 years), and all the excitement made me forget why I was not too fond of traveling in the first place.
Firstly, I had to wake up by 3 am to beat the traffic that would be waiting for me, and even though I was able to get to the traveling agency by 4 am, I still had to wait for the other passengers for another 3 hours, and I felt like everything I did was for naught. Still, at least I was able to get the best seat.
I was so prepared for the journey; I even pre-downloaded so many videos the night before to watch them while on the long trip.
But little did I know that I wouldn’t even be holding any electronic devices or even open my eyes to this journey.
As I have written before, I haven’t traveled for quite a long time, and my body/mind wasn’t used to long car rides, but I had forgotten this due to all my excitement.
Immediately the car started moving; I already had a fever, lol.
My head started aching, and I couldn’t help but feel like vomiting my guts out due to my motion sickness, and even holding my phone caused me to feel dizzy; I even wanted to faint at a point.
I was in utter hell by the time we had reached the 1-hour mark, and at that point, I was begging for someone to kill me and put me out of my misery.
This trip was like 9-hours, and I was already feeling this way for only an hour, but I thought my body would normalize. Sadly, it didn’t.
Three hours into the journey, I was already on my last legs because I hadn’t left my chair through the whole trip, and even though we had some breaks, they weren’t enough to stop what was going on inside of me.
I can remember the worst part of the trip was when we had to stay in a specific spot for a whole hour because of a series of accidents that happened on the road.
I couldn’t even understand how some of the accidents were possible because they were pretty confusing.
A truck fell over the cliff, an oil tanker spilling oil all over the place, and a series of car accidents.
Fortunately, I don’t think there were any casualties because the drivers seemed to be working together to solve their problems.
Even though the trip was hell at some points, some experiences made it pretty interesting, especially all the places I visited while going through the states.
I didn’t know there were many beautiful spots in my country, but thanks to the trip, I saw some remarkable monuments and buildings.
After 9 hours, I arrived safely at my destination, and even though it was pretty stressful, I enjoyed it a lot.
I wanted to continue writing about my experiences in these new states, but I would leave that for next time! I hope you understand why I have been absent for the past few days, and I will try my best to interact with everyone’s article today.
Thank you for reading!
What happens after "I do"
**Date: 17th January 2022**
**Hello Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Sunday, and I hope you also have a great Monday.**
It is the beginning of a new week, which means we all have to return to our various jobs and activities.
The weekend was pretty short, but maybe that was because I spent it packing for the new school semester, and I am so happy because I can finally start university. Even though adjusting to new surroundings may be hard, I will adapt to it.
Often, I see people saying that once they enter marriage, their lives will become way more straightforward, and they will live happily ever after, but is this true?
When I hear people say this, my mind turns back to old Disney movies because I believe this has caused this easy marriage mentality in many young people.
Everyone only thinks about marriage and the celebrations that happen after, but no one stops to think about what happens after all the celebrations and parties.
What happens after you say, **“I do?”**
What happens after the parties and celebrations?
I am guessing most people don’t stop to think about all these things, and that is why most marriages end up in the family law court because most people don’t even know what they are signing up for.
Most Disney movies usually end with both parties marrying, and most times, they end with a kiss scene, and then we see **“They lived happily ever after,”** and the end.
Some people fail to understand that all these stories are fictional and have no ties to the real world.
It is only in these stories that a man and a mermaid manage to make things work out without fear of any consequences or knowing each other in any way.
In real life, I see people who try to follow this logic and fall into bad relationships because they fail to know each other and rush into commitments without caring about what the future holds.
Marriage is not an easy path because you are dealing with another human being, and even though you are married, that doesn’t mean every day will be full of happiness and fun.
I have noticed that when something is new, we appreciate it, which happens in marriage.
When the relationship/marriage is new, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, and sometimes you would feel like you found the perfect man/woman, but don’t be fooled because not every day is going to be like that.
As humans, we always crave new things, and when we get bored of what we have, we tend to throw it away or replace it with a new one.
Because of this craving for new things, you see so many marriages ending up in divorce or troubled marriages because when a person gets bored of something, they will try their best to get something/someone new.
We should not play with marriage, especially if you plan to have a child with your partner, because divorce affects your partner.
Still, it also affects the children, and that is why it is essential to know your partner before getting involved with them.
Never rush into a relationship that you know won’t work out, and something that I see people do is try to change their partner, and they even go as far as marrying their partner to prove they can change them, but it doesn’t work that way.
It is impossible to change another individual because the only person that decides that is them, and if they don’t want to change, then it doesn’t matter how much you do/say to them; they will stay the same way.
Before you enter a commitment with another individual, try to know them, and don’t think that all your days with that person will be happy, because there will always be rainy days, but that doesn’t mean you should leave at first sight of trouble.
Talking things out with your partner may solve the problems that both of you are facing, and it is when your partner is not willing to solve the problem that you think about leaving them.
Thank you for reading!
Hey Everyone, I hope you are having a great day?
I am sorry if I can't upvote or interact much with your articles today, I won't be online much due to some issues, I hope you understand! When I come online again, I would interact with everyone again. Thank you
Anime Themes!
**Date: 16th January 2022**
**Hello Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Friday, and I hope you also have a great weekend.**
I love many things in this world, but if anything makes me smile anytime I watch it, it is anime. In previous articles, I wrote that I started watching anime when I was 11, and I have continued watching it ever since.
Not everyone watched anime back in the day, mainly because they thought it was like the regular cartoons they watched.
Still, there is a significant difference between American and Japanese animation, and the most significant difference is lessons and storyline.
While American animations don’t usually have excellent storylines or lessons, Japanese animations tend to drive a point to the readers, which is why manga/anime seems to be overtaking the comic book industry.
Anime teaches many things, and even if there are battle scenes, some scenes still hit the audience and teach them some lessons about life.
In this article, I will be listing a few lessons that I have learned from watching anime; I hope you enjoy it!
***Power Corrupts Humans. (Death Note)***
Death Note is among the best anime because of its mystery and paranormal take on anime, and even to this day, it is seen as the pioneer of modern anime.
https://i0.wp.com/dailyresearchplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/4280560C-AF45-41E7-A1D4-EDBB90E6C860.jpeg?fit=793%2C387&ssl=1
The story follows Light, a high school boy who happens to find the “Death Note,” which gives him the power to kill people as long as he writes their name on the book.
At first, Light seems to be using it to kill criminals, but as time went on, he started getting crazy and abused power, even thinking he was born to play God in the world.
Seeing him change from a hero to a self-proclaimed God made me realize why humans can never be given the powers of God, and if a human ever happens to have this power, then we will all end up being destroyed.
I always hear people say, “If I were God, things would be different,” but is that true?
Do you think the world would be better if you were God? If you have an answer to this, please put it in the comment box.
Most people think having power makes things easy, but what you don’t know is the amount of responsibility that power comes with may be too much for people, leading them to make bad decisions.
I have seen many people who changed immediately; they got a taste of power, and I am not talking about a good change; this person changed so much that I couldn’t even recognize them anymore.
Power has a way of changing people, and it is only a strong-willed person that doesn’t change.
There are many corrupt people on earth, and most of these people can be found in leadership positions, which doesn’t surprise me because power corrupts people.
Most of our leaders may not always have been corrupt humans, but I am sure when they got to these positions of power, something must have changed them to become what we know and hate now.
In short, power corrupts people, but it is up to you not to fall victim to it.
***Friendship/Teamwork is Key! (Shounen)***
If there is anything I have learned most from anime, teamwork is essential in our life, especially if you want to live a successful life.
No one on earth became rich on their own, and they had to work together with other people to get what they have today.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/animangademocracy/images/2/26/Shonen.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200921122210
I have written in my previous articles how many individuals want to do things on their own because they feel doing things alone is the best option, but that is not correct.
If you want to do things by yourself, then get ready for the arduous journey ahead because doing things alone is never easy, mainly because you have no one helping you, and you have to carry all the burdens on your shoulders.
But when you have people that you can rely on and help you carry some of the burdens, you will see how easier everything becomes, and you will even be able to achieve things faster than when you work alone.
We should all try our best to have good friends because these are the people that will come to our aid when we find ourselves in trouble, and no matter how deep the hole, they will always find a way to drag you out of it to make you better.
**The world may be Cruel, but Love is Real! (Romance)**
In this cruel but beautiful world, the only thing we time we all become the happiest is when we are in love, and it is usually during these times that we believe we can do anything.

Love is indeed powerful, and when both parties genuinely love each other, it doesn’t matter how long, far, bad things get; they will always be there for each other.
It is pretty hard to find true love in this world because everyone seems only to be looking for what the other person can give, and relationships are now becoming a business transaction, but I still believe that love is real.
Even if you haven’t found that particular person, I am sure one day you will find someone that will cherish and love you for who you are and not judge your flaws or mistakes; you only need to be patient.
One line I love in all of anime is
**“The world may be cruel, but I would always love you,**
**Even if I were to sacrifice everything, I would still protect you.”- Attack On Titan!**
I am sorry if I am unable to comment or upvote anyone, I won't be online much today because of some issues, I hope you understand! Thank you
Break them off!
**Date: 15th January 2022**
**Happy Saturday, Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Friday, and I hope you also have a great Saturday.**
2022 is already going so quickly, and we are already on the 15th day of the year, soon we will be seeing the end of January (the 1st month). Something I find funny is how fast time moves, and you might be thinking this year is going slow, but it is moving at a quick pace.
It has been 15 days since we all said “Happy New Year,” and celebrated with our families.
It has been 15 days since we all set our new year resolutions and goals, but not many people are working towards them, and it is sad because it is so easy to say something, but it is way harder to act upon it.
I am sure we all have goals/resolutions that we want to achieve this year, and that is why I must tell you not to waste time anymore, because even though we are still only in the 15th, time goes fast, and soon we will be celebrating another new year. Manage your time wisely.
Wasting time is a problem, but something worse than wasting time is moving with **“Bad Company.”**
There are so many types of people in this world, and when there are so many people, there will surely be bad people who will always try their best to hurt other people and even go as far as stopping the progress of others.
Many of us tend to always stick around with bad friends because they won’t influence us, but that is incorrect.
Only if you are strong-willed that bad friends won’t influence you, and if you aren’t strong, they will eventually consume you, and your values will begin to change.
I once knew an intelligent guy, who even got a scholarship for how brilliant he was, but there was one problem, and that was the kind of friends he kept beside him.
If people see you with bad company, they will eventually think you do the same things as them, which happened here.
He followed the wrong people, and when these people were caught for theft, his name was also caught, and he ended up losing the scholarship and his freedom.
The weirdest part about this is that he wasn’t involved in the robbery, but his **“friends”** told the police he was involved and got arrested.
Even if they don’t influence us, bad friends would always find a way to bring us down because they don’t want to see us succeed, and they will do their best to make sure we fail with them.
No one deserves this kind of person in their life because you will never reach your true potential if you involve yourself with them, and that is a fact.
The problem with bad friends/people is that they don’t show their true selves to us, and they usually work in the shadows.
When you look at them, they will behave like your best friends, but the moment you turn back, they bring their knives out to stab you.
Some of us have these individuals in our lives, but they don’t show themselves to us, and that is why you have to know your friends well, because if you don’t, you may end up being stabbed in the back literally.
In life, you don’t need people that will draw you back. Instead, you need to have people who will always be there for you when you need them.
In my previous article, I stated how having good friends decides whether you will be successful or not, and that is the truth.
**Good friends don’t draw you back.**
**Good friends are happy when you are successful, and they celebrate with you.**
**Good friends, don’t talk trash about you.**
**Good friends pull you out of the ditch you dug for yourself and pushed you towards success.**
We gain many things when we have good friends, and that is why we should always search for these individuals that will help us, not drag us down.
Many of us focus much on appearances when we pick our friends, which is why we tend to pick the wrong individuals.
It doesn’t matter how tall, short, beautiful, or handsome a person is; all that matters are their personality and soul.

School Incidents
Date: 14th January 2022
Hello Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Thursday and hope you also have a great Friday.
We can never genuinely forget school days because that section may have been an essential part of our lives.
I would say school days are the most exciting part of our lives because we had no responsibilities except passing exams and making sure we graduated.
Most of us had our first experiences in high school, such as first friends, first relationships, break-ups, and all that stuff, but there are also many reasons why school life is so exciting.
During these times, we would be going to our friend’s houses and hanging out there until the sun went down, only to get back home and get the hell beaten out of us by our parents.
In short, those times were so fun that sometimes I wish I could go back and relive some of the events, and there is especially one event I want to relive, and I pray daily that one day I can go back to that scenario, I would be so happy if I could.
My high school life was relatively every day, and even if sometimes things were crazy, I would still say it was quite an enjoyable high school, and I enjoyed that part of my life a lot.
In my school, there were some events that I can remember which were quite weird, but in today’s article, I would be listing only two of them which I can remember; I hope you enjoy the article.
. The Robbery Incident (School)
I would have never expected this incident in my school because the area wasn’t even a dangerous one.
It was a peaceful residential area, and no crime was ever committed in that area.
It was so surprising for us students to hear gunshots while we were in-class learning, and we immediately fell to the ground because many windows were being broken, and bullets were flying everywhere.
They stopped shooting when the seniors and teachers started chasing the robbers away.
The bullets killed no one, but some people were injured, and they had to be taken to the hospital because they were losing much blood.
It was indeed a scary experience seeing the blood of your fellow students sprayed on the floor, and it was even scarier to be so close to death, but we were all lucky to have come out alive.
That experience never left my mind because I finally understood how easy and quickly our life can end and how precious life genuinely is.
When you are close to death, you will start cherishing the life you are given, and I started understanding that.
We later found out that the robbers had traced our proprietress from her bank and noticed she had withdrawn an enormous sum of money; I am guessing they must have wanted the money and tracked her down to the school.
I am glad we could go through that experience without losing anyone because I don’t think anyone would have been happy if someone had died that day.
. The TikTok Incident (Class Incident)
Unlike the robber incident, this one didn’t affect the school physically, but I would say it affected the image of the school.
Tiktok has been the craze these recent years, and many people have become so obsessed with “TikTok fame” that they are willing to do anything to become famous, but this incident isn’t about fame; I would say it is an act of revenge.
As I have said before, high school is when everyone had their first everything, such as relationships, and break-ups, which caused this incident.
Three weeks before our university examinations, my class was called to the principal’s office because of a particular video that surfaced on “TikTok,” and the principal wanted to ask us about it.
I did not know why she was calling us to her office, but I knew it was never for a good thing, and it meant you were about to see hell, which was something I never wanted to see.
She told us about a video, but not what the video was about, making it impossible for some of us to know what she was talking about.
She tells us to leave, but we finally find out what she was talking about the next day.
The whole school received a video on their phone, and in the video was my classmate having an intimate session with her boyfriend, who was in a lower class. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I found out that it had happened when the principal called us.
Everyone is called to the principal’s office again, but this time she only talks with the girls about the issue, because for some reason, most of the girls were in the video watching her do it.
I didn’t care about the incident because, in a typical scenario, it shouldn’t have affected me, but for some reason, it affected me.
For some reason, the principal blamed the guys because “we weren’t there to guide them.”
I couldn’t even understand what she was saying because, in a normal situation, she shouldn’t be blaming us, but she found a way to and even wanted to give us a week’s suspension and beatings.
It was only three weeks before our college examinations. I couldn’t afford suspension, so I had to bring my parents into the situation, and they could handle the situation.
Later we find out that the video was released by a classmate who was jealous of the girl and wanted to make her pay for having a boyfriend.
It genuinely was a weird incident because it all happened because of jealousy; can you imagine that?
Wouldn’t it have been best if she had talked it out with the other instead of bringing the whole class into the situation?
Some people love bringing others down, and I don’t understand why.
Conclusion!
Some other incidents happened, but let me not make this longer!
Thank you for reading!
Themes from Attack on Titan!
Date: 13th January 2022
Hello Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Wednesday, and I hope you also have a great Thursday.
For the past nine years, Attack on Titan, also known as "Shingeki No Kyojin," has constantly been breaking the boundaries of the anime community, and some would even term it as the "Best Anime in the world," even if One Piece is there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lnh--ZOPyo
If not for One Piece, then I would probably say Attack on Titan is the best anime because it doesn't only focus on one theme/lesson in the story; instead, there are so many things you can get out of watching it.
**Freedom!**
At the beginning of Attack on Titan, we see humanity living inside 100-meter walls and have no way of going outside because of all the human-eating titans that reside outside.
The first episode shows us the horrifying tragedy that happens when you allow the titans that stay outside to come inside the walls, and we see how the Titans eat up every human they see.
Eren Yeager, the protagonist, vows to destroy all the titans due to his mother's death and attain the freedom that humanity has never attained due to the horrific Titans.
That first episode alone made me realize how unique the story was because, in a way, our world is genuinely like that, but this time, it isn't Titans that are holding us from our freedom, but our fellow human beings.
Everyone wants the freedom to do anything and go anywhere they want, but if you look at the world, we have borders and barriers that stop us from doing that, and I understand why that is needed.
But why should humanity have barriers when we are all the same? Why can't we stay together as one, or are we afraid of each other?
Even if we don't have any man-eating Titans, we still have evil humans that stop us from chasing our freedom, and this is why most people end up asking themselves the question:
**"What is Freedom? Is it even real"**
The more walls you break down to attain your freedom, the more walls that come back up to torment you, so what do you?
Everyone wants to chase freedom, but we don't even know what it is, and the same goes for happiness.
**"Why does Man chase something he doesn't even understand, such as Freedom and Happiness."**
I can't answer that question, but please put it in the comment box if you have the answer.
**Humanity's Hatred!**
Another theme I understood from Attack on Titan is how humanity genuinely hates itself.
In anime(AOT), humans have fought for centuries and committed genocide because of their hatred for themselves and unwillingness to forgive.
Humans are the most intelligent form on earth, but why don't we understand the benefits of loving and supporting one another.
https://static0.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/IMG-0945.png?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&h=555&dpr=1.5
If you look through humanity's history, you will notice that we haven't been fighting animals, aliens, or any other entity; we have only been fighting ourselves.
Whether wars or ordinary disputes, we all seem to hate ourselves even when we are the same, and despite our race, religion, gender, or anything, we are all humans.
**What is the point of fighting ourselves?**
**What do we gain from shedding each other's blood?**
**Do you know how much we can improve our world if we all come together and help each other?**
https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/posts/2014/07/nitti_WW1_14_AP979101710429_v1/20401d8a8.jpg
If you look at history, there are more than ten genocides, and I am sure the people who were being killed weren't animals; they were humans like you and me.
Most of these genocides were caused by hatred and discrimination against other humans, such as the holocaust, which I am sure everyone is familiar with.
I can't begin to imagine the sort of pain, fear, and hatred those dead people must be feeling because they were killed by their fellow human beings who hated them.
If only we could all sit down and talk to work out our issues, but sadly not all problems can be fixed with talking, and not everyone is willing to forgive.
I hope someday humanity will be able to come together and love one another, and I am sure when that happens, so many good things will happen.
Love is blinding
In the story of Attack on Titan, we are introduced to a slave girl called Ymir, who, no matter what the king did to her, still loved him.
Some say she had Stockholm syndrome because she still keeps loving him for centuries, even when he removes her tongue and shoots her with arrows.
But her story relates to the natural world in a way because most people never want to leave a toxic partner, no matter how bad it gets.
https://preview.redd.it/mc59vwjerkt61.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=3c5b562e7cb904784137905a123c0aa918a17d00
Sometimes the feeling of love can be refreshing, and we think it is our savior because it helps us see a glimpse of happiness.
But we sometimes forget that love is only a human emotion, and it can be what causes our downfall instead of saving us.
I have seen so many cases of men and women who refuse to leave a toxic relationship because they still love the person.
https://preview.redd.it/4vn5sxw5a0941.jpg?width=631&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06ad624a18c7186ba94faa0be422fb96b2d1be96
Even if the person doesn't care for them, you see them doing their best to ensure the relationship doesn't destroy, but things shouldn't be like that, and that is why so many of them end up dead.
If someone doesn't seem to reciprocate your love for them, then you should find a way out of things because that person's feelings for you may never change.
**Conclusion**
Attack on Titan may be coming to an end, but it will always be one of the best anime in the world because it has left so many beautiful themes behind, and I am sure so many people have learned a lot from watching it.
Even if the manga ending was quite scary, I am sure many anime watchers will enjoy it.
Thank you for reading!
Taking a break!
Date: 12th January 2022
Hello Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Tuesday, and I hope you also have a great Wednesday.
Taking a break from work is something I think everyone wants, but when we finally get a break from the activities, we only end up going back to them because we don’t know what to do with our leisure time.
Most of the time, when I am done with writing my articles and have free time;
I usually don’t even know what to do with my day anymore because the only thing that I can think of is working on other things, and instead of taking a break, I only end up doing more work than usual.
It may sound diligent, but overworking yourself will not benefit you in the long run because you may end up having so many health problems.
Due to all the typing, I am now having some back problems, but I hope it will fade away soon and not become too serious.
As I have written before, most of us don’t know what to do when we have free time and end up doing more work during our leisure times, and that is why in this article I list two things you could do during your leisure times, I hope you can gain something from it!
***Watching a Movie!***
I believe most people think you have to go to the cinema/theatre to watch a movie, and you may not believe it, but I have a few friends who don’t understand that our smartphones can download whatever movie we want to watch.
In the past, you had to drive/walk to a theatre/cinema to watch a movie, and I will admit that it is pretty stressful going to a cinema that may be halfway across the whole city, and who knows the chances of getting caught up in traffic and missing the movie.
But now we have our smartphones and the internet, which allow us to stream movies online platforms such as Netflix, Prime, and other websites.
I am sure most of us didn’t even go to the cinema/theatre to watch Spiderman: No-Way Home, and we may have even watched it on our beds without any stress, except if your internet was awful like mine.
Watching a series/movie is a great way to relax, and it will also help you get your motivation back, especially when the movie is a good one.
The next time you have a break, you should try watching a great movie; I am sure you will enjoy it.
**Sleeping/Quick nap**
You don’t always have to do something during your leisure time, and even if you are not watching a movie, you could always lay your head down and have a quick nap or even a full-eight-hour rest.
Sometimes we take rest for granted, and we fail to see how essential it is when it comes to healing both your mind and body, especially when we overwork ourselves.
Suppose you know how much a little nap benefits your body.
In that case, I am sure none of us would be taking it for granted, and that is why I always suggest sleeping at least for 20-30 minutes in the afternoon because this will help your body recover its energy back, even if it is a short time, it is pretty compelling.
Resting isn’t a bad thing, and sleeping during the day doesn’t make you a lazy person; it only means you are taking care of yourself, which is genuinely the best thing to do.
**Conclusion**
When it comes to taking a break, there are many options you can choose from, but it hangs on what you want to do during your leisure times, but never overwork yourself when you know you can take breaks that will help you recover both in body and mind.
Whether watching a movie or having a rest, you should never take your breaks for granted because it is essential to you, and even if you can get more activities done without taking breaks, you may regret it.

Money shouldn't be the only purpose!
Date: 11th January 2022
**Hello Readers! How are you all doing today? I hope you had a fantastic Monday, even if it was pretty busy.**
It is sometimes weird how we only have a two-day break for five workdays, and this has confused me ever since I was little because I always dreaded going to school for a whole week, to only have saturdays&sundays as rest days.
Like, come on, it won’t hurt anyone if we had at least three days of rest to look forward to every week, lol.
Another thing that I wasn’t too fond of was when people would frequently say that the only thing that is essential in this world is looking for money, and that should be your only purpose.
If you cannot get a certain amount of money, then you are either a retard, or a failure based on societal views, and that is not how things are meant to be.
Yeah, money is essential if you want to live a standard life without suffering, but I don’t think we should focus our whole life chasing money and making sure we end up with the most significant amount of money in our accounts; that is not how life is meant to be.
I was looking through my friend’s pictures, and I saw a quote which I will put under this: It said,
**“Nowadays, Life looks like we came to find only money on Earth.”**
As I read it, I didn’t think much about it because I was only scrolling through the phone, but some time passed, and I started thinking about it and found out that it was speaking facts, and it was when I reread it I realized.
For a long time, my mind has been fixed on having only one purpose in life: accumulating money and becoming wealthy, but is that my true purpose on earth? I don’t often ask myself this **“Purpose”** question, but this money quote has made me think about it a lot.
Did I come to earth only to make money? What is my true purpose in this world apart from having money, or is that all?
Money is only necessary because we humans make it that way, but once upon a time, money wasn’t so important, but now it is the only thing we humans think about, and when we don’t have it, we see ourselves as failures/worthless beings.
I had always wondered what previous humans did when there wasn’t money.
I sometimes envy them because they knew their purposes; they genuinely had a purpose, whether it was building a civilization or producing the next generation.
They never failed to achieve them, which is why we are here today.
But nowadays, it feels like we are all chasing another person’s life, and that person only wants to have money in their life, which may not sound bad, but I wish life could have other purposes other than money.
Chasing/Having money isn’t the only reason we came to this world, and I suggest you realize that sooner because if you don’t, you will only wind up chasing something that won’t even give you the happiness you want in the end.
Some people prioritize having money so much in their lives that they forget the other parts of life that genuinely matter.
Getting married, having a family, self-growth, achieving true enlightenment in your life, or finding your happiness, you could focus on all these things because they will show us what life is genuinely about.
Even if you have all the money in the world, it doesn’t beat having family/friends to go back home to every day, and even if you have money, you know deep down that you won’t even be going when you die with your money.
When all your money disappears, everyone will forget you, and it would be like you never existed.
I am not trying to demotivate anyone who wants to have money in their life, I am only saying that money isn’t the whole purpose of life, and even if you don’t have all the money, you can still say you are living a great life, and no one should tell you otherwise.

Lo-Fi Music❤
Date: 10th January 2022
**Hello Readers, I hope you all are staying hydrated today,**
**Don’t forget to drink some water because it is essential for your health.**
Sometimes it can be hard to relax, and even when our
bodies feel so stressed out after working endlessly, our minds are still active as ever, making us feel like we shouldn’t be resting.
I might not be the only person who has this sleeping problem because I usually want to sleep when I am writing an article/interacting on readcash at night.
Still, when I try to sleep, I start thinking about readcash again, and I end up staying awake the whole night, only to sleep for 1-2 hours.
I would have to stop using my devices at night because it hurts my sleeping routine and causes back problems, which I don’t need right now.
But on those days when I can’t seem to sleep or rest, one thing that usually keeps my mind at peace is listening to some incredible, relaxing music that helps me become less confused and tense than I usually am.
I don’t know about everyone, but personally, music has a way of solving some of my problems, especially when I can’t think of ways to solve them;
When I listen to music, the lyrics/sounds sometimes speak to me and show me what to do, I don’t know how it happens, but it does.
Music has a way of curing/healing people from their stressful situations and telling us that it is okay to rest, especially when we are overworking ourselves and feeling at our limit.
Anytime I hit writer’s block, I sometimes don’t feel it because I can go and listen to some good music and get some ideas on what to write on, and even if the music doesn’t give me ideas, at least it helps me release some stress, and increase my creativity, so it’s a win-win.
I am not saying you should listen to every song out there, but you should find a genre of music that will help you relax and increase your creativity because it is a healthier and better way of releasing stress, unlike with alcohol and other things.
There are many genres of music out there, and I am sure one of them would be a good fit for you, but you have to find one that will be able to reach not only your eardrums but also your soul.
Jazz, Rock, Folk Music, Country Music, Hip Hop, Pop, and Classical are genres people love. Still, these are not even all the genres of music, there are lots more out there, which shows you have a variety of genres to pick from, and I am sure there is one that will catch your ears.
I once loved Hip Hop, but I am starting to shift to Lo-fi music because it has a way of improving my concentration and stimulating my brain activity.
Lo-fi music is short for Low Fidelity music, and it is basically.
*“The incorporation of elements generally viewed as undesirable in a professional context.*
*Such as misplayed notes, environmental interference, or phonographic imperfections (degraded audio signals, tape hiss, and so on)”.*
I would recommend listening to Lo-fi because it also has some health benefits such as Elevated Mood, Increased Brain Activity, Reduction in Anxiety, and improvement in cognitive abilities.
I can say that all this is true because when I listen to it, I can feel the change in my mind and body, and even when I am writing, I can get more ideas from listening to the sounds that I hear.
If you are interested in listening to some good Lo-Fi music, I will leave one of my favorite playlists down there, and I hope you can enjoy it as I do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A
Even if you don’t enjoy it, that is fine because everyone has their style of music, and if that works for you, then that is what you should go with.
Music is beautiful, and even if you can’t touch it, it is always there when you need it the most; you only need to find what you like and listen to it.
I hope you enjoyed the article! Thank you for reading!
Two ways to earn more!
Date: 9th January 2022
**Hello Readers, I hope you all are staying hydrated today, don’t forget to drink some water because it is essential for your health.**
In this modern time and age, it will be weird to hear someone say they don’t earn anything or have no source of income because there are so many ways/opportunities for an individual to make money, mainly due to the vast amount of ways to earn online.
Don’t get me wrong, even if there are many ways to earn online, it doesn’t mean all of them are guaranteed;
Some of them only play scams on people to get their money or information, and you should never get yourself involved with this kind of site because they can be very dangerous.
Even if readcash is legit, that doesn’t mean every platform will be legit, so we should all be careful in the kinds of the platform we find ourselves on.
Today I will be writing on other legit ways you can earn online without worrying about scams or legal problems.
I think Readcash is one of the best, if not the best online (writing) earning platform out there, but you can’t only rely on this platform for your earning, so that is why it is good to add other things to this, and I hope you can find something in this article.
#1. **NoiseCash**
I noticed some users on readcash don’t know about noisecash even when both are related to each other;
For those of you who don’t know, noisecash is the younger brother of readcash, and it currently has 310k users, and I am sure it will grow higher than that in a short time.
Unlike Readcash, which deals with writing and getting rewarded by Rusty, Noisecash is basically like social media but with earning.
Facebook, Twitter, and all that jazz should better watch out for because sooner or later, Nosiecash is going to take over social media, and everyone will be using it as their go-to social media platform.
Which will also help raise more awareness of BCH.
Like Readcash, you don’t only have to post about Crypto-related topics; you can post about your daily life, travel, food, or even post your articles on the “Read Cash Community,” this will help create more traffic for your readcash account.
There is no need to waste time on other social media platforms, especially when you are not even earning on them; come to Noisecash because you will post while earning and meeting so many beautiful people.
If you want to join Noisecash, you can click this link and start posting! I hope you can earn and meet people on this platform as I have! https://noise.cash/u/favorslife
#2**. Trading Crypto/NFTS!**
I am sure some of you don’t want to hear about Crypto right now, but Crypto is a fantastic way to earn money because it allows for significant profits, especially when you buy the right ones.
Nowadays, Crypto has more spotlight than it had in the past few years, especially with more and more Crypto trying to take over Bitcoin, such as Etherum and BCH.
These are only two out of the many cryptocurrencies listed on the market list, and trust me; there are lots of them.
I am sure some of us have heard about Nfts, because they are now the new craze around the whole world, and everyone is trying to get their hands on their own Nfts, and you should do the same also because Nfts is a great way to earn some money, especially now that they are in high demand.
****Conclusion****
Focusing on one earning method is good, but it is always better to diversify your earnings because it won’t affect you if one stops working. After all, you have other places where you are earning.
Whether it is Noisecash or Crypto/Nuts, always try your best to get involved because passive income is never wrong.
I hope this article can help you find other ways to make money, and if you are willing to join them, I pray they help you earn more than you can ever imagine.

Trading Currencies? Forex Trading.
Date: 8th January 2022
Hello Everyone, I hope you are all doing well and staying hydrated today, don't forget to drink some water because it is essential for your health.
During these times, I am sometimes asked how it is possible to make money even when nothing seems to be working in the crypto market.
The truth is it may not be possible to make money during these times because you would probably only be entering losing trades and nothing more.
But you shouldn't be discouraged by this because trading crypto is not the only possible way to make money in this world; in fact, there are several ways to make money from the comfort of your home.
In this article, I will be focusing and teaching you the wonders of Forex trading and how/why you should try and learn how to trade currencies and ways to enter Forex.
Some of you may be confused about what I mean by forex trading because you may think it is the same as crypto trading, but it isn't.
The difference between Forex and Crypto trading is their volatility because Crypto is way more volatile than Forex, and you can see this is in the way both markets move.
Forex trading, I would say, carries less risk than Crypto because the market's volatility is way slower, allowing traders to have more room to lower their risk than Crypto.
Below is the Bitcoin/Dollar Chart, and as you can see, BTC has moved quite a bit in this past year, and this is what I mean when I talk about the Volatility of Crypto!
If you have seen the chart of Bitcoin, you would be surprised at how much it has gained and lost in only a year because, if you can remember, it was previously in 68-70k, but now it has fallen to 36K in only a month.
I am not trying to say the Crypto market is terrible, but if you are looking for less risk but slightly less profit, I am sure you would love Forex trading because it genuinely is excellent for earning.
First, forex trading is buying and selling currencies, and like Crypto, you can earn money when you have profitable trades.
Still, you can also lose money, but that is why proper risk management is needed in your trading strategy, and never enter a trade when you know you are going to lose money.
As I have said in my previous article, the basic rule in all trading is "Never put all your money into your trading account, instead have two types of money, one you are willing to risk, and one for trading."
It is always good to have risk management in everything you are doing, and even if the volatility of Forex is lower than Crypto, that doesn't mean you should risk all your funds for a big win.
Trust me when I say this, but the forex market will humble you if you ever try to outsmart it, and you may end up losing a lot of money if you go overboard with your lot sizes.
Anyway, if you are looking for another trading journey, I suggest you start Forex Trading; you only need to be patient and learn how the market works through demo accounts.
There are several demo accounts that you could use, varying from a hundred to a million dollars.

If you want to learn more about crypto trading, I suggest you start using the demo accounts because you will build your trading skills without worrying about losses to your real account.
If you are wondering where to learn more about forex trading, I suggest you start watching some youtube related videos, and I would put a link below to a video that taught me the basics of what I know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7IGTX_Peso
It is quite lengthy, but I hope the video can teach you what you should know about forex trading and how you can become a profitable forex trader.
I know the beginning may be challenging because you would be confused about the strategies and indicators you would need to know, but nothing good comes easy.
Even if the learning process is challenging, you will overcome it and become a profitable trader.
I hope this article helped you! Thank you for reading.
2022 the year of BCH
Date: 7th January 2022
Hello Everyone, I hope you are all doing well and considering the current market situation. It is actually kind of funny when you think about it, there were so many predictions that Bitcoin would be going to 100k in 2022, and some individuals even went as far as calling 2022 **“The Year of Crypto/Bitcoin.”**
The funny part is that some of these people are creating so many crypto/Bitcoin memes, and it seems comforting because no one seems to be going crazy about the market crash.
Instead, they are making fun of it and even planning other ways to get their money back.
As I have written in my previous article, change happens every time, and we may never be prepared for it when it happens, all we have to do is find a way to adapt to the changes we see in our lives, and when you can do this, you will improve significantly.
In a way, this crash was good/bad, and I have seen many happy faces due to the fall of BCH; this fall in price has allowed quite a sum of people to enter into BCH, and some individuals that I know have acquired 4BCH because the price is low now.
I won’t say the crash happened because so many people have lost a lot of money, especially those in Bitcoin. After all, many people were expecting it to go to the moon, but now it has gone down to the depths of the earth, and I can’t even begin to imagine the amounts of money that people may have lost these past few days, crypto genuinely is a crazy world.
I can remember my first crypto mentor, and the words he said during his video were, “Crypto can make you a millionaire, or leave you under a bridge; it isn’t a world for the faint-hearted.”
At first, I didn’t understand what he meant by this, but after all the crashes I have witnessed and the amount of money lost, I have begun to understand that you have to set up two types of money in your trading life.
You need to have the money you are unwilling to lose and money set apart for trading.
I would always suggest never to use all your money to trade primarily in cryptocurrencies because if you do this, you may regret the decision and end up not having any money left to live your everyday life.
The goal of trading/swapping cryptocurrencies is to get more money.
That is why it is essential always to secure your money in all situations and never buy a losing token on purpose; always investigate what you are getting into before buying.
A crypto market is a place where you can earn a lot of money, but you need to be careful about what you get yourself into, and when you find an excellent token to buy, exercise patience and wait for it to grow more before withdrawing your profits.
I have noticed that people trade cryptocurrencies to get money quickly, and when they get a little bit of profit, they immediately withdraw all their money, and when the price goes up, you would see them getting sad because they couldn’t take profit.
We should all understand that we shouldn’t trade for the present, but trade for the future because that is when you are going to need it the most.
Invest in a good token/crypto that you believe would become a bigshot in the future like BCH, and be patient because you wouldn’t be able to reap the rewards quickly.
Instead, focus on the future profits because that is where your reward lies.
Imagine buying Bitcoin in the past; that same image should be in your mind as you invest in BCH.
I am sure in the future, this token will be able to surpass its predecessor and become the world’s currency, and everyone will be able to use it anywhere and anytime to purchase whatever they want.
Even if 2022 has a bad start for BCH, I am sure 2022 is still the year of BCH/Crypto in general, and sooner or later, we are going to see BCH reach a significant high than it has ever been before, we only have to be patient with it, and don’t lose faith.
If you have the money and you are willing to take a bit of risk, I am sure you may have already bought the dip. Have a bit of patience, and I am sure you will be rewarded.
**2022, THE YEAR OF BCH!**

Things shouldn't always be the same
Date: 6th January 2022
Hello everyone! It is a beautiful new day, and I hope everyone is having a great time this new year and staying hydrated.
December and January have not to be the best months for cryptocurrency, and even when we see a glimpse of hope, things only seem to be crashing down again.
I think by now, we should all be used to how the market works and shouldn't be stressing over it when we see it going so low, but it isn't very comforting to see your wallet get lowered every morning when you wake up.
My BCH wallets seem to be suffering, lol! I even thought someone was taking the money away, but I found out the price had gone down to 393, and this is surprising because a little while ago, it was in 540, but I guess nothing ever stays the same.
The only constant thing in this world is change, and we all have to get used to it; sooner or later, something or someone is going to change, and sometimes it may be positive or negative.
I have noticed that people never seem to understand the changes they see, both in the world and in people.
Just because the world doesn't seem to be the same way it was before the pandemic doesn't mean that you shouldn't try your best to make the most out of it.
The pandemic may have caused many problems in different sectors of the world, but that didn't cause the whole world to stop moving.
Many people may have lost their jobs during the pandemic, which might have caused them to enter a state of depression, but some didn't allow this situation to stop them from moving forward.
Some people didn't allow the changes that occurred to stop/dictate the way their life would go; instead, they embraced the new changes that occurred and looked for other ways to provide for themselves and achieve what they wanted.
I know it may not have been easy for anyone to embrace the changes the pandemic brought on the world, but no one said life would be a straight line.
Life would be better described as an unpredictable line because you never know when an event that would change your entire world can occur.
We always have to be prepared at all times because even if you think you are untouchable or unchangeable, life would eventually humble you and show you that it is more powerful than you.
I am sure that if I hadn't experienced the pandemic, I might not have the same motivation to be writing on this platform because the changes that occurred during that pandemic opened my eyes to earning online and cryptocurrencies in general.
When everything seemed to be looking bad, I asked myself if there was anything I could do to change my situation, and being depressed and sad couldn't change the situation I was in;
It was up to me to find a way to continue living life when I started my trading journey.
If those changes hadn't occurred, I am sure I wouldn't have been so invested in learning trading currencies and crypto and earning online because I did not know of them before the pandemic.
Still, now I can make strategies and earn some money from trading them both.
Changes have to occur so that we would be able to learn other ways to survive and adapt to them because if we stay in a single position all our life, we would never be able to improve ourselves.
As I have said before, getting out of your comfort zone is the main reason change is necessary, and the moment you get out of it is when you begin to experience new things in your life.
Can I ask you this, "Do you think change is bad or good?
We all may have different answers based on the experiences we have had in our life, but I would love to read your answers; please leave them in the comments below!
Thank you for reading!
You can't do it all by yourself!
Date: 5th January 2022
Hello everyone! It is a beautiful new day, and I hope everyone is having a great time this new year and staying hydrated. The past few days have been a little bit nice, especially with schools resuming and work resuming again.
We are finally back to how things were before the holiday season, and I can't say I don't miss all the festivities, but there is time for everything, and it is time to work for now.
If you are willing to achieve your new year goals, you should start working now, because we are already on the 5th day of the year, and you might be thinking you still have time to do achieve them, but soon we will be in Christmas again.
Please don't waste the whole year, instead utilize it effectively!
I have learned in my life that no matter how strong, smart, or fast you are, there will always be a time you need someone's help.
No one in this world can do everything alone, and even if you can do it alone, is there any benefit from doing something all by yourself? You only end up with high-stress levels and pressure.
I once had an uncle who was a very hardworking man, and he was a great role model for me because he was always doing his best to make sure he achieved his dreams and fed his family.
Young me thought life was meant to be like that, and seeing him from the outside, he felt like he had the best life in the world.
Another lesson I learned from his life was, it doesn't matter how happy a person looks on the outside; they may be already dead inside, but you won't know this because they would never tell you.
I lived with my uncle for a short time, and I observed his work schedule, and it was hectic.
He worked all day, every day, and never even took breaks to rest his body, and even though he could pay assistants to help him, he didn't want to because he felt like they would only slow him down.
All the work and stress took a toll on his body, and he ended up having a stroke and couldn't even get off his bed anymore.
He became a shadow of his former self because now he can't even work as he used to and still ended up hiring the assistants to help him.
Now I ask myself, Why couldn't he have hired the assistants to help him in the first place?
I am using my uncle's story to show you the mistakes some people make in the world we live in, and I am sure most of us are also guilty of wanting to do everything alone.
You know you can ask others for help, right? You shouldn't feel inadequate or inferior when you ask others for help because you can't do everything by yourself; you would need other people's help one day.
Most times, our pride makes us think we can do everything by ourselves, and sometimes we think we can do everything better than others, but the truth is you are not an island, neither are you perfect.
Doing things by yourself may boost your ego, but sometimes it is better to ask someone for help.
Some people are so full of themselves that even when they can't do something, they still refuse to ask others for help because it would hurt their ego.
Imagine buying a new Tv, but you don't know how to set it up, and instead of calling a professional to help you, you do it yourself, and the Tv ends up splitting in half. What exactly would you gain from that?
There is a reason we are not alone on this planet: to help each other out when we need it.
Sometimes it might be scary to ask others for help because we think we would be bothering them, but don't be scared to ask people for help; you would be surprised by the number of opportunities you have missed because you failed to do so.
Please don't be too proud or scared to ask others for help; go to them and tell them what you are passing through or what you need; I am sure some people will help you when you need it.

Are you starting your blog? Where do you start?
Date: 4th January 2022
Hello everyone! It is a beautiful new day, and I hope everyone is having a great time this new year and staying hydrated.
It is the fourth day in 2022, and the market still seems to be going crazy, but I hope things will be better by the end of this month.
In today's article, I will be writing something a bit different, and as you have seen in the topic above, I will be showing you how you can start your blog.
Starting a blog can be difficult, especially when you don't know where to start, but don't worry. This article will show you the essential steps needed to start your blog.
I hope you enjoy the article, and I will see you in the next one.
This post will give you 6 essential steps to get started on the right foot and be successful from the get-go.
The first and most essential step would be to:
**1. Pick a Niche**
A niche is a small yet profitable market. Take, for example, sugar-free cake recipes - it's under the broad subject of baking, has a small but dedicated following, and is profitable.
If you're stuck on finding your niche, simply write down your interests and hobbies on a piece of paper. Compare them and determine which you feel most comfortable writing about. Most successful blogs usually revolve around the interest of their creators.
**2. Select a Blogging Platform**
A blogging platform is a service that helps you maintain and publish your content on the internet. An excellent example of a blogging platform is WordPress.
It's easy to use and comes with loads of plugins and themes to help customize your blog. I will talk about blog customization later in this article.
Read cash would also be a fantastic platform to start from, and I recommend it.
3. Choose a Catchy Name
Choosing a catchy name is super important when creating your blog. Blog names should give a general sense of what you write about and be easy to remember. A good example is Nerd Fitness- it encompasses all that the blog talks about and is memorable.
Once you've chosen your blog name, check if it's available on a domain registry, e.g., GoDaddy, Google domains. Getting a domain name should cost around $12.00.
4. Purchase Web Hosting
Put simply, web hosting is an online storage space where you store all of your blog files. It makes your blog accessible online to everyone. You can select from various forms of hosting services online. Some examples are hostinger, Godaddy, and HostGator.
Web hosts usually charge a moderate fee to help put your blog online - usually around $3.00 a month.
5. Install WordPress on Your Host and Customize Your Blog
Installing WordPress shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hosts usually install WordPress automatically or on request. When this stage is done. Select a theme and Customize your blog to your taste.
**Note:** Customizing your blog is where the main work starts, and this is also where many spend a lot of time. Luckily, many YouTube videos will give you a step-by-step guide on customizing a WordPress blog.
6. Write, publish and promote your first post.
Writing your first post can be a daunting task. This usually stems from a lack of ideas. An easy fix to this is writing a guide on how to solve a common problem in your niche.
Let's go back to the niche example we used in the first section, sugar-free cake recipes". At first glance, you might ask yourself; Are sugar-free cakes tasty? This question can be turned into an insightful blog post on how to make sugar-free cakes taste better.
**Conclusion**
Once you're done, publish your post and promote it on social media platforms such as this one. Ideally, You should spend more time promoting your post than writing it.
Let me know if you have any ideas you'd like to share in the comments below.
