The Trap of Loneliness in Lectures
Campus life is generally different from life in high school. On campus, we will be faced with more difficult tasks. As a college student, you should carry out your duties properly. You need to complete assignments given by lecturers and other work that is still related to college activities. But, you won't be able to depend on your friends and copy all of your friends' work. Campus demands you to do everything yourself.
In general, having friends on campus is vital both for maintaining relationships related to college activities and friendships just for fun. It will be easier for you to find out important information circulating campus through your friends and also maintain mental health because there is a place where you can joke and discuss anything.
Well, that would be the case if you lead a normal life there. Meanwhile, if you are in a position where you only have a few friends or even none at all, that's quite different. By not having enough friends, we will feel lonely and like living a heavier life. Especially, if we encounter a complicated problem, we don’t know where to ask. This is why you will realize that loneliness can also kill someone without the need for violence or a knife to execute people who are mentally or psychologically ill.
Sometimes, **loneliness is the thing that slowly kills your psyche**. You'd think it was normal. But, the condition was exacerbated because there was no one to support you. You don't feel that the environment is on your side and you often experience bad luck.
From the explanation above, we take the example that college students who have just entered the campus environment may feel that campus life is fun. But, when someone feels that their struggle isn’t as easy as imagined, that person will experience a negative response that the condition is beyond their expectations. Then, college students experience stress, even depression because no one can help them.
We often get stuck on tasks that require us to complete everything on our own. If there is something that isn’t understood, college students are required to choose to ask the lecturer rather than friends because it can disturb them. Even lecturers cannot always serve students. If you're unlucky, you can't ask anything and don't get support.
The campus also directs its college students to actively interact, discuss and organize. All of these relationships are done so that students aren’t focused only on learning activities. The campus has the principle that college students need to actively gather and organize so that social relations between students are also built.
Most students aren’t interested in participating in campus organization programs because there is no time and they get tired. Although campus organizations aren’t mandatory, This program can train students to be more social and foster good relations with lecturers, campus staff and fellow students.
But, college students are already stuck with activities that are usually required to be carried out, namely doing assignments and getting grades. There is no mission in their head to join the organizational program on campus. So, many of them ignore this program.
Then, there are also causes of loneliness that do not stem from assignments and grades. it happened because the student wanted to reduce the number of unprofitable friends. They think that lazy and stupid college students don't deserve to be on campus and will only be a burden to other college students. There is nothing wrong with this as college students also want to work together profitably.
**So, that's campus life that is often felt by college students who feel trapped by loneliness**. As for the last words, I would like to express that loneliness isn’t also a matter of the number of people in one location. But, this is due to mental factors, feelings and interactions that occur. For example, let's say that a person has many friends but still feels lonely because the relationships aren’t close. Then, some have few friends but their relationship is more special and closer than those who have more friends.
I think it's enough up to here. Thanks to read.cash friends or family who have read this article.

Pursue Inequality of Human Mindset and Its Development
Most people know that there are so many countries, nations, tribes and ethnicities living in this world. Each country has its characteristics and differences, although there are also similarities that can be shared between one country and another. From the differences that exist, emerge inequalities in the way of human development, culture, economy and others that cause problems for a country. This complexity occurs due to various factors that can be started from history, human characteristics, geography, culture, norms and others.
From the point of complexity or diversity that has been formed, several countries have succeeded in building their principles and becoming leaders, the main actors that influence the world and other countries. Then, some countries are called middle-level or developing countries and lastly, a large number of other countries fall into the category of poor countries.
No matter where you come from. **The more important thing is that everyone wants their country to be better on par compared to developed countries**. But, many things aren’t the same which causes envy among those from developing countries. This is normal because everyone has a dream to live in a developed country. After all, everything has been there before and can guarantee a different quality of life when compared to countries that are at the lower level.
What is offered by developed countries, certainly has better resources than the level of countries that are below them. This is also caused by the problems that are in developing or poor countries which are much more complex than the countries above them in outline. Thus, they only had time to think about the issues that were in front of them instead of carrying out plans for the future.
Therefore, countries at the second and third levels need to be faster in processing human development and other fields so that they have the same quality and level as developed countries. A lot of *“homework”* needs to be done by third-world countries. There are many examples of cases that can be used as references and lessons for all of us.
In my own country (Indonesia), there are still many things that cause my country to stagnate in human development. An example of a problem that is often shouted about is literacy. Indonesian people are lazy to read, especially reading articles and newspapers which are quite long. Thus, better education will refer to quality in digesting the reading or articles to be read.
Then, the problem of religious disputes, inter-ethnic conflicts, corruption culture, cops who are only looking for money (even from the victims they are supposed to protect), disorderly traffic that causes accidents, the mindset of parents who are still too traditional (anti-criticism), a truth even if conveyed by only one person will be defeated by stupidity carried out by the crowd. Those are some examples that often occur in Indonesia where it is considered an obstacle to progress.
Such a situation is quite worrying because my country is also a strategic partner of a more developed country. The existence of developed countries only has an impact on the level of government and companies. At a smaller social level, it doesn't seem to change. Whereas, it is at the societal level that is crucial to get more serious treatment.
In essence, the country needs the essential elements to change. Well, to support it, **education** and **learning mental & attitude** is the most basic thing before a person develops to the next level. Because education teaches how to function the brain properly. Whereas, mental learning and attitudes are needed so that one's intelligence can be in sync with a good attitude and normal mental health. Thus, a person can maintain good relations with fellow social beings. Other learning can be followed as long as it has the 2 elements mentioned above.
So, I think that's what can be used to start changing humans in a better direction. If there are additional countries as examples or additional suggestions about building a better human being, please write them in the comments column. Thank you.

The Dirty Hands That Pretending To Help
No one knows when disaster will happen to us. When someone is hit by a disaster, we should help each other among human beings. Some of them sent food aid such as basic needs. Then, some just send money which is more practical and flexible in terms of usability. Humans are supposed to help out as social beings and you can't avoid that connection.
Among the many sincere people, some give because they want certain attention. People with this type try to take advantage of the grief felt by disaster victims. Crimes that take advantage of psychological and emotional victims are enough to make our eyes open that a small number of them want conditions that can provide benefits to one or several parties. It was a very unsettling situation.
You may ask *"what motives underlie this disrespectful behavior towards the victim?"*. The answer to this matter must be several factors. Disaster relief is needed so that victims' losses are replaced with better goods or money. But, for those who wanted to be mean and take chances, don't even think about it. Even if they think sadly about the suffering of the victims, they still use it to their advantage. This kind of behavior isn’t exemplary.
Several factors underlie the inappropriate treatment of victims, namely those who want to seek popularity, seek money and bad cultural habits. So, let me explain below.
Looking For Popularity
Popularity isn’t only sought through singing competitions, music competitions, talk shows, the number of social media followers and so on. But, popularity can be sought through social and humanitarian issues. This treatment is often carried out by political actors and celebrities to find the masses to support them. In this case, they often distribute large amounts of aid to the victims and they are greeted like heroes who are always ready to be beside them. Unfortunately, the public cannot explicitly judge their sincerity. only they know that intention.
Sometimes from different points of view, some people hate them. So, some people utter hate speech at people who don’t know the truth and the original treatment of these characters. So, that bad image is deliberately directed to bring someone down.
Make Money From Disaster
If a person earns money from work, this is commonplace and normal. Then, if someone were to make money off of the disaster and have the unowned share, that would be extremely impudent. Many people chose this path and deliberately took away the little money that should have been given to the victim. This treatment doesn't look at political figures or celebrities because the public or society can do this.
But, crimes like this are more often committed by the lower class or subordinate to officials who want a share of the amount of money that is to be channeled to the victim. They reasoned that they needed money for the transportation and security services they had done. Well, we should thank them for their service but they want more money. Thus, they took some part of the money for the victims which they shouldn’t have done. In the end, the victim only gets a small amount of money that is difficult to replace the loss that has occurred.
Bad Cultural Habits
We are conditioned by the customs in which we were born. Each person has a different way of life and language according to the place where they stand. This also includes bad human habits in which each person has different vices on each side. This factor also underlies why some parts of the country are advanced and some are still underdeveloped in terms of technological development, human resources and others. In this case, I take the example that the mindset of people in my country is also influenced by the media which is less professional in reporting on disaster conditions.
Sometimes, the focus directed by journalists in discussing with victims isn’t telling real conditions. I just want to say that they are quite silly to ask something that doesn't make any sense. An example that often happens is they ask *"was there a dream or premonition that something bad will happen?"*. To be honest, this isn’t what the public wants to know. This is because the previous Indonesian culture also took a lot from mystery stories. So, this culture is carried over into the professional world where things like that shouldn't be asked about. Then, sometimes the media also takes the grief of the victims to make excessive content to build a good image for the public.
So, there are several conditions where there are some people who take advantage of the situation for their interests in the post-disaster situation. They take advantages that are quite detrimental to the victim because they should not receive such treatment. I only hope that this deviation will no longer be repeated.

Who Determines Your Wedding Day?
Men and women were created to live together and complement each other. For someone who has already found the perfect match, they will want a more serious bond. This serious bond will certainly be wrapped in official letters and statements from each partner who is ready to get married. But, ***who determines your wedding day?***
The answer will come back again between you and your partner. You and your partner can determine the special day together. But, there are factors that you can’t rule out. If you think about ignoring this, you will be considered a bad partner who doesn’t appreciate the beauty of marriage. Your marriage will be considered a stain by those who want a better standard than what you have planned. Thus, many perceive this as a problem.
Then, can you guess the factors that I mean? **The answer is family, cultural and environmental factors that make you have to give space to those who want to change your marriage according to their standards**. The criticism and suggestions given were not wrong. But in many cases, you often see that more of them are imposing than just giving advice & criticism normally.
From the family side, they often impose the standard that a good marriage is at a young age of fewer than 25 years. In terms of age, marriage under the age of 25 is considered to be less mature in terms of experience and work (although many have managed to organize their marriages well). But, this principle has failed more than it has succeeded in numbers. So, the couple should think about going a step further.
Besides the above, families also often impose marriage standards according to their requests regardless of the couple's financial condition. For example, they ask for many attributes of cultural costumes which are numerous. You know, that it's not worth the actual shorter event because you're only renting the venue for a few hours for the wedding. thus, it will be expensive and draining for both partners and families.
It often happens because families want to feel proud of their neighbors, friends and relatives so they hold events by imposing ideal conditions beyond financial problems that both partners can no longer bear. Preferably, this matter is consulted between you, your partner, your family and the wedding organizer. This is intended so that all plans go well and there are no uncontrollable costs, thus minimizing misunderstandings between parties who wish to hold a wedding.
Environmental and cultural factors also influence your marriage. From a direct perspective, your neighbors don’t have the right to your marriage. But, **most Southeast Asian cultures are more concerned with relationships than the circumstances of the couple wanting to marry**. For example, when your neighbor knows that you didn't invite him, the next day if you have a problem with him/her, you will get into big trouble even though this problem only started because you didn't invite your neighbor.
So, from the explanation above these things cannot be taken lightly, especially if your relationship with your family and neighbors is in bad condition. Marriage between you and your partner is indeed enjoyed together. But, the relationship with the closest people and the environment that binds you, will not just go away. They all stay present after you get married.
In the end, as a writer, I can only hope that any problems or difficulties related to them should be properly discussed. However, the people closest to you still have a positive contribution to your life and they aren’t always bad. As long as you communicate well and honestly, they will also show empathy for you and will understand that your condition takes precedence over their marriage standards.

If Ants Seek Your Presence
In everyday life, we never predict what will happen to us. While relaxing or chatting with nature and you sit under a tree, suddenly ants come to you and give you a *"welcome"* sting. Then from that sting, you will be surprised because you are stung in a part of the body that looks like a static electric shock (depending on the type of ant and your response). You can feel the impact of the bite for several minutes to days (if the ant is bigger and the sting is sharper).
Then other effects, your skin is also reddened to the point where it could blister and make sufferers. You can’t underestimate this bite because if it gets worse, you should go to the doctor for further treatment. It's dangerous, right? Therefore, their presence can’t be ignored.
We must be aware of their presence even though it looks small. Ants are difficult to predict through sight or hearing because of their small bodies. Humans can only feel through the sense of skin contact. To be sure, the simple reason they bite humans is that they feel threatened by the presence of other creatures. Even if humans don't bother them, the ants think we are a real threat because we are so big compared to an ant colony that can only be measured by a toe (in fact, it's still smaller).
But, there is also another possibility if they approach us. Let’s say that they think there is a sweet-smelling food scent in the bag, they can detect it. Then, the ants try to secure it and some ants are trying to attack to defend the food that has been obtained.
A dermatologist named **Dr. John Anthony** from the Cleveland Clinic revealed that ants will defend themselves with two processes. **First**, they use the bite. **Then**, it was followed by a jolt that was like static electricity for a few seconds. Inside the sting too, they deliver piperidine poison which gives the effect of red rashes on the skin. In more severe cases, piperidine can give shortness of breath to sufferers who are bitten. Thus, the sting of the ant can’t be underestimated (specifically, red ants). https://my.clevelandclinic.org/staff/13560-john-anthony
The first aid that can be given if you get stung is to give pain relievers to the skin, rash relievers on the skin and apply cold water compresses to the skin. If it can't be cured or even if everything gets worse, you can consult with the doctor closest to your location. **So, don't ever feel like you're okay and try to downplay the fact that it's a tiny ant**. We never know what poison or what impact the ants have on the sufferer.
One thing is for sure, we don't have to strike back if the ants don't bother us. They are also creatures that have a life of their own. The ants have difficulties fighting for their lives because their bodies are very small.
They could have been stepped on by shoes without any screaming sound that we know or they could have drowned while we were flushing water in the bathroom. If ants could talk, maybe they would be very angry at humans who treated them so carelessly. Maybe, it's time for us to appreciate the life of other creatures because they also deserve to be on earth that has been created by God.

Our Ability to Receive Waves of Information
We are in an era that knows no boundaries that prevent humans from communicating. You also feel that digitalization is shortening human time to be more productive. Although this isn’t always the case or it further becomes of secondary importance to some people. Content on social media with non-productive themes appears more than higher quality content.
Some content that is considered non-productive often displays the glamorous side of a person or famous figure. There is nothing to blame because the public themselves like this kind of thing. However, it's a shame because the content owners will benefit from them while the public will not benefit from knowledge, education or anything that can be brought to upgrade their lives.
This non-productive content floods our daily timeline or newsfeed as if we are needed to see all their riches. **All the goods, facilities, fashion and food that they exhibit are for the sake of content needs only**. We are just casual viewers who aren't interested in what they have to offer. The exceptions for content creators who offer ways to make money to be on par with famous people.
In this case, content creators who don't offer value for viewers, are considered unable to give something good to fans. Except for those who are fanatical. Then, all prank content or ridiculous jokes that are weightless, that doesn’t even represent that the digital world is a productive and good place to put your mind to. Unless the audience wants it to be.
Then, we narrow it down to a question. ***Does the audience like that kind of thing?*** These answers vary from one to another. But, one thing is certain content that is considered fun is preferable to content that makes us rack our brains, even though content that is valuable or educational isn’t made to spin the heads of the audience.
This means that fun content is preferred even though it is weightless and has low educational value. Indeed, if we refer to standard rules, we still see the traditional reality that *"entertainment is something to be enjoyed, not something to be learned"* and most of the older generation still adheres to these principles.
From this condition, a question arose to me. So, **how can humans survive and be more selective in dealing with various content that enters their social media?** The answer is depending on yourself because the personal settings of each person's social media account are different. Then, there are influences from other people who will also change your social media setting preferences from posts that they have shared.
The flow of information and sharing of content on social media is uncontrollable and each person has the right to create, edit and share what they or like. So, people have to act more selectively. This is because many of them lose productivity at work and study. After all, they don't realize that social media is a story that keeps on spinning.
Therefore, as long as people have self-limiting abilities, they will not get caught up in the continuously moving waves of information. **What needs to be done is to limit the time to play with social media and choose content or accounts that can build your productivity**. So hopefully, you will be wise and smart in using this technology and the facilities available. Thus, it avoids the poison of social media which makes a person feel addicted from time to time.

When Your Hobby Becomes Poison
We try to be excited about living the days. Starting with sports activities, fishing, reading the news to playing games. It's all a hobby run when I try to spend my free time. With hobbies that are carried out, it will make the brain fresher, the body not stiff, mingle with nature and get friends who have the same hobbies. Human hobbies are diverse. For me, playing games is enough entertainment that is suitable as a hobby.
But, not all hobbies look good. In fact in this era, we are confined by pleasures and misguidance wrapped in hobbies. Doing hobbies is a good thing when we use and control our hobbies properly. But, this doesn’t apply if it is a sign that you should stop the activity. You have to recognize and understand why it became toxic.
You Forget Important Priorities
We build life also based on priority. So, **what priorities do you use to come first and separate from secondary needs?** this is important to note, so you can manage your time well. Sometimes you are too focused on a hobby at one point. But, you aren’t focused on other important things. We need to share our time with other needs such as family, friends, friends, and work which also needs to require wiser time management.
This is because no hobby is comparable to your main activity, so you must be able to manage your time well. For example, looking for a job is more important than playing games and having to spend money to buy items in the game or your child needs your time more than just relaxing at home and looking at ornamental plants as your hobby. So, you should understand this.
You Lose Control With Your Hobby
Because of hobbies that are carried out continuously, we lose control of ourselves. We are stuck in the space and time that we created ourselves and focused on the emotions that reside within. **When you dare to spend money on a hobby, you have to control yourself**. Because many people lose money just because they lost control of the hobby.
As I said above, people who like to play games will lose their time when they can’t control the money for spend on game items purchased. Then, those who like to invest will spend more money when they are profitable only one time. However, they will continue to spend more money because they still believe that they will earn again. It may also be caused by the greed factor that makes them thirsty for hobbies.
You Feel The Negative Impact
These negative impacts are also felt because there is still a relationship between the above factors. When people play with money, losing money becomes a risk. Some people play extreme games such as skateboarding and parkour and others will experience a greater risk of injury and broken bones than others.
**There is always a risk in every hobby that we run**. But, everyone must have a mature calculation of what to do about his hobby. The negative side must always be there because nothing is perfect. Therefore, people need to think to choose which one is good and which one will be bad.
So, those are some signs that you should stay away from your hobby. It's not that a hobby is a bad thing, but there are situations where you have to stop doing things that don't satisfy your positive desires and try to move on to other activities.

Era That Changed The Word
Humans evolve following trends. People think more about trends than what is needed. When celebrities show off their leather suits, their fans who like them also buy the suits worn by these celebrities. Then, the undercut hair trend will be followed by men when *Marco Reus (footballer)* looks more handsome and dashing on the field. Everything happens because of the trend that has been created. **There is no mistake in the title that I made because I want to focus the trend on words**.
Language has been the main form of human communication since ancient times. People wouldn't go that far just to recognize our origins as humans. Humans are interested in communicating with other humans because they want to be understood equally, not because they want to learn a language. Language is needed as an easy bridge to both be on a balanced level of conversation. So, this is where the equation comes from.
Then, the combination of cultures is also influenced by the era that has changed. In the new era, every new language will be followed by other humans, especially the younger generation. The assumption for the younger generation, a new language is a language that facilitates association and facilitates communication between fellow friends. For the older generation, this isn’t important and they don’t care about any new styles and words that are happening at this time. After all, it is already difficult for older people to memorize texts and go back to learning the language.
So, for those of us who still have a good memory and pronunciation of words, you are still lucky because deepening the language is one of the factors of people's intelligence. There are more than 200 languages in the world, but I will only give examples of languages that are already popular globally. So, let's get to know slang.
I provide the video below to recognize various slang in English:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8oc1hECia4
From the video above, there are several words such as *lit, periodt, snatched, goat* and others which are almost rarely heard by people outside of native English speakers. Thus, people need to remember it properly.
Then, below I present slang in Spanish:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCILB2g04KQ
From the video above, we learn new words such as *vale, mono, ser la leche* and 17 other words contained in the video. If you like watching Latin football or like telenovelas, you might find variations of new words there.
In the last video, I give you slang knowledge in Japanese. So, watch the video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMFVwmcKseg
From the video above, there are various words that we know such as *gugu-ru, sabo-ru, paku-ru* and other slang words contained in video. To better understand the context, maybe you can learn through media such as manga, anime or Japanese drama that is spread on the internet or other media.
So, here's a video lineup as an example of slang words that represent the current era. It is proof that words can also follow the flow of a new era so that they can understand the current context.
In conclusion, **humans can create their era.** From there, humans change the order of style, language, culture and also the context that occurs according to the situation at a certain time. But, this condition requires a boost from people's popularity or conditions that can become popular. For example, some celebrities popularize or some events popularize the new culture, like the World Cup events where words, slang or jargon will be more widely known.

Get To Know KODO Assets as a Token That Invests in Property
Currently, quite a lot of crypto tokens are used for investment purposes. There are various investment methods such as staking, masternode, yield farming methods and P2E games. From there, people can get various benefits. Recently, the crypto world has also emerged with investment packaging that is different from before. In Brazil, they have launched a useful platform for investing in the property sector. The company is called **KODO Assets**.
KODO Assets is a platform that provides property-based tokens which are used as the main material for transactions and investments. KODO Assets itself has tokens that can be traded to make it easier for customers to get affordable property prices. Because of their low cost, they also have lower risk than stocks or other investment instruments. In other situations, another form of advantage is the crypto market situation which makes tokens usable at various times and has better liquidity compared to the property business in general.
Then, the scheme used to rotate the economy is an offer in the form of a lease. This is intended so that users get a certain value which is distributed as dividends where the token becomes the property of someone for a certain amount of value shared by KODO Assets. The name of the token in this distribution is called **KODO1**.
In carrying out its duties, KODO assets distribute tokens to users who have purchased tokens. Then, the user will get rights according to the investment amount given by the user. **Profit sharing will be channeled through USDC**. In terms of the amount to be circulated, KODO Assets will issue 25k tokens selling for $140. Then, that comes with a KYC / AML verification fee of $13 for an individual and $25 for an institution or company respectively. The minimum transaction is 1 KODO1 token and there is no maximum amount to buy. The sale will take place this month, November 2022.
Tokens created by KODO assets are created and distributed under the laws of the Bahamas by which these categories are classified as securities or security tokens. Therefore, all token generation processes are subject to applicable law and it is thoroughly marked. The KODO token itself runs in a Polygon-based smart contract which provides access to both parties (between KODO Assets and investors) to be able to transact. The reason Polygons are used in transactions is that Polygons are a stable and promising infrastructure. Polygon has strong dedication and support to further refine existing technology.
This is a promising change in the property sector. In the future, maybe there are many more platforms that have sprung up to revolutionize technology and people. Change always comes from brilliant ideas and humans must be better prepared to face a newer era. If you want to know more, you can directly access the official KODO Assets website here. https://www.kodoassets.com/

Will AI Threaten Human Creativity?
Until now, we can still write and produce something through our hands. We invest skills in books and courses in technology, design and writing. But, we need time to digest all the skills contained in the book or course guide. So that, when everything has been learned, we can apply ourselves to the desired field of work.
Then in this era, the wealth of technology is updated so much that it can threaten those who have learned the skill for a long time. This will probably destroy the careers of people with ***AI (artificial intelligence)*** power at their disposal. Even though the skills that humans have learned have been digested for years and are easily replaced by AI robots that are ready to compete in this era.
**This world is starting to be automated with technology** even though not all fields can be operated. Starting from the administration of toll guards which are being replaced by electronic toll cards. In the financial sector, banks no longer provide facilities for opening new accounts by facing officers and having to prepare papers. Banks have started to automate the registration process via mobile phone by scanning National Identity Cards and video calling as verification from the account maker. Then, it continues to cryptocurrencies technology that easily blends into artificial intelligence. As an example, today's cryptocurrency trading can be automated with AI or we can call it trading bots, like CryptoHopper. https://www.cryptohopper.com/
One of the things that shocked the world is that today's AI can touch the creative world where it is never thought of by most people. This is due to the assumption that **AI robots are too rigid to work in the creative field because AI is formed on human logic itself**. But, the reality is now different and AI is starting to enter the creative field. Recently, there is a new technological breakthrough where DALL-E2, MidJourney & Craiyon can create images just by typing the entered keywords. Then after a while, the image is done. From there, they have now managed to attract millions of users to be able to use their AI and this is an astonishing discovery. If you are curious, you can visit their website. https://openai.com/dall-e-2/ https://www.midjourney.com/home/ https://www.craiyon.com/
Then, the second real example is when we get acquainted with a smart robot named **Ai-Da**. Ai-Da is a robot dedicated to creating works of art such as poetry. The robot was created and developed by Aidan Meller. Ai-Da managed to compose a poem and she has sung it at the Ashmolean Museum as a sign of the 800th anniversary of the death of the great Italian poet, Dante. She isn’t only good at reading and writing, Ai-Da is also skilled in making other artworks such as *"Eyes Wide Shut"*. The video snippet below is Ai-Da and the capabilities that she can do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaZJG7jiRak
The two real examples above are proof that AI can compete with humans in the creative field. Ai-Da even tries to study human behavior so that the robot can imitate human habits and speech that it wants to explore. So, it almost resembles the way humans act.
So, **do we need to worry about this condition?** I think we can recognize that AI has approached the complexity of the creative field. But, we must still think wisely to find gaps that AI hasn’t been able to copy. Maybe the current AI hasn't eliminated humans. But, humans must be prepared for what happens in their lives. If we think too much about AI without thinking about upgrading ourselves as humans, it is tantamount to waiting for time to quickly fall behind. In the end, the human brain will beat other humans. AI is just the tool that drives it all.
Thanks for reading.

A Teacher is a Precious Gift
My intelligence in studying textbooks can’t be separated from the figure of a teacher. They taught me many things about this world and guided me sincerely. They are educational heroes who are responsible for educating every child in the school.
Many memories are stored during my time at school such as exercising together, making math games, making beautiful art from paper, doing study tours in beautiful places and many others. All those memories still linger to this day and I am grateful to have met such a good teacher.
The love that comes from a teacher comes from unwavering dedication. They are involved in all situations that shape human character for the better. There are several reasons why teachers are loved by students.
Dedication and Hard Work
It's hard to imagine a world without teachers. Humans will live in ignorance, backwardness and will create humans without attitude. They work from morning till evening to teach all the children about different characters. You can imagine that it is difficult to unite the thoughts of one character with other different characters. Then, there is work & attention outside of working hours, they have to take care of the naughty children and assign grades to each student. Sometimes, there are work meetings with teachers that take up a lot of time. This proves that their energy and attention are more than the salary they receive.
Create a Special Relationship
Many teachers deliberately present themselves as unfriendly and fierce teachers. This is intended so that students always respect the teacher. This method is still true because there needs to be a separation in the student-teacher relationship where students are required to be polite and respectful. But, this method isn't always appropriate for all students. As a consequence, the students became afraid and hated the teacher. Good relationships can also be applied such as treating students as their children. They need attention and affection to be able to grow into good students. So, this is what makes teachers lovable by students because teachers manage to bring a relationship and emotional approach.
Have a Lot of Experience
Teachers who teach in schools have a lot of knowledge to pass on to their students. This can teach students about experiences that have been experienced by teachers outside of textbooks. For example, the teacher could tell about the experience while camping in the forest or maybe the teacher could tell about the experience when playing music at a cultural festival and so on. So, teachers can also tell students about life outside of school and train students to be able to tell stories about their own lives. This is because the essence of teaching students doesn’t always have to be based solely on grades in school books. Thus, teachers can also guide their students to see the real world.
**The reasons above are what makes teachers so valuable in front of their students**. So, they can be the right guides in the learning process at school. Although not all teachers have the same competence, at least they have one of the positive things that can be used by students.
If there is any other important reason you would like to mention, you can write in the comments. Thank You.

When You Always See Things Are Bad
We never know what will happen tomorrow. We just try to implement what we can do today and predict tomorrow. Well, since no one knows what will happen tomorrow, most of us think too much about the worst risks. These plans are built in our minds because we need to prepare for unwanted risks.
Let's say your teacher will say tomorrow is the final exam. Then, most students will think about many things like exam rooms, stationery and possible questions that will arise. The worst scenario in the student's brain will arise if someone is not ready for the exam. Such a tense situation. But, although many students have prepared well, they still think excessively that the exam is really scary. This situation is normal. But, it will become a serious illness if you can't calm down and think rationally.
So, preparation for the worst risks seems to be a scourge, a syndrome for those who face anxiety. If you always like that all the time, then be prepared to get lost in the pit of the disease of ***"Catastrophic Thinking"***. Diseases like these don't just label the elderly. Even at a young age, it can be frustrating because of college assignments, many jobs and other life dilemmas.
Various triggers cause people to experience catastrophic thinking. **First**, when people get messages that are mysterious and ambiguous. For example, something like "you'll have to meet me in the teacher's room later. I have something private to talk about”. Such expressions indicate that there is something serious your teacher wants to talk about and automatically your mind immediately thinks bad. **The second** is an assessment of the magnitude of the problem. For example, debt problems with your business partners are much bigger than other problems. **The third** is the fear of something. For example, you accidentally hit a child with your car. Because you’re afraid of the risk of compensation, you choose to run away without being responsible and that bad experience will continue to haunt you.
That's where catastrophic thinking becomes serious. This has serious negative effects such as excessive anxiety and sadness. If this seems to get worse, it can lead to depression. In that bad situation, you can no longer decide anything important because overthinking will continue to run in your brain. Good handling is needed to defuse the clutter that you have in your mind.
Several ways can be done to relieve catastrophic thinking. **First**, people must be able to accept reality. What I mean is those good things and bad things have become a living unit that synergizes in every moment. Joys and sorrows are not eternal in life. All we can do is work hard and think positively so that luck is often on our side. **Second**, give positive affirmations in your mind. By giving positive affirmations, you rebuild your confidence to make important decisions without being distracted by evil thoughts.
**Third**, people need to get quality sleep. Maybe, your brain is too hot to think than relax. The brain is also like a machine, they need quality rest to get its freshness and best performance back. So, you need to wisely manage the time for sleep and rest. If the three things above can’t be overcome, you should need to check your condition with a doctor or psychiatrist. I hope this is the best way.
Sometimes, we have to stop at complicated things to nourish our minds. Many people don’t realize that most chronic diseases come from a chaotic state of mind and psyche. Therefore, mental illnesses such as catastrophic thinking and overthinking cannot be taken lightly.

Read.cash writer and reader, please help me !
I've been inactive on read.cash for a long time (maybe about 1 month) and this is the first time I'm writing again. But, I logged in read.cash using my new laptop, imported the wallet and posted as usual. After I posted 2 articles, I waited for a "random rewarder" for more than 20 hours to give me a reward. But, until now the robot didn't come.
Is there something wrong I did? Did I get restricted/banned because I switched to my new laptop? Anyone, please help me to explain this. I'm really confused about what's going on right now.
The Fire of Passion In the Pouring Rain
Lately, my place has started to enter the rainy season. I have prepared everything like raincoats, umbrellas, sandals and plastic that will make me feel comfortable when going outside. But, I don't plan on going outside on a fairly intense count because in the rainy season I often catch colds which will make my nose stuffy and sneeze. Conditions like that do not make me comfortable.
There are other things that make me lazy to leave the house. **First**, it would cost more to buy something like gasoline and food. Currently, I'm trying to be frugal because world oil prices are rising and tend to affect gasoline prices in my area. **The second** is flooding. This heavy rain was blocking the way out so I didn't have much choice. Besides, I'm afraid my motorbike will break down on the road and I don't want to get sick because I get the flu easily.
This situation makes me upset because of the limited options for activities. Another problem, the girl I like makes me feel upset and disappointed. The reason is that she is often friendly to me and I am labeled as her brother (it seems I have entered the circle of *"brotherzone"*). Then, I felt sick when she tried to introduce her boyfriend in front of me. What a bad day for me and this rainy mood represents my feelings.
However, I don't want to just be sad and try to find a way to work things out. So, I will try to rekindle my spirit even though the rain always wants to cool the situation.
Write Articles
At first, I really wanted to write because it was oriented towards ways to earn money so I was quite serious about digging a niche in blogging, AdSense, affiliate and everything related at that time. But, I'm not consistent. I only get failure and only get a small portion of the money. Now, everything is different. I can see that writing is a creative hobby that suits me as an introvert. **Nowadays, writing has become my hobby and second job**. So, this is enough to fire up my brain when it rains. Here, I've written a lot about many things. So, I'm pretty active, moving on to contribute to Read.cash.
Learn Foreign Language
Actually, learning a language isn’t an easy thing. But, there is always room for those willing to put in more effort and it is important to show a passion for one or more languages. Right now, I'm not talking about the tips because I've written about them (Learn Foreign Languages Without Stress & Headache). I just hope that it will help you to learn the language effectively. https://read.cash/@fiolyn_rea/learn-foreign-languages-without-stress-headache-19c2d608
By studying language, we also learn about culture, society, human character, norms and other related matters. Because this is considered not easy, it can provoke your brain to think about how you understand a language well which is correlated with the factors above. There are many different languages in the world that you can try. From the easiest (such as Norwegian, Spanish and Indonesian) to meet at the point of the most difficult language (such as Thai, Chinese and Japanese). All can be tried according to your passion and ability.
Cooking Food
Art and creativity can also be measured by cooking. Cooking for the arts doesn't need to be too skilled nor is it limited to a particular gender. There is an Indonesian proverb that says *“kamu bisa karena biasa”* (In English it means, **you can do it because it's a common thing**). In a longer explanation, it means that if you make the dish often, you will be smart and understand what to do. In a recommendation to make food that makes us burn with enthusiasm, we can make typical warm and spicy food. For example, the famous food from Thailand, Tom Yam Soup.
Another option that may be simpler, you can try to eat packaged noodles and then you can make your own variant of side dishes and toppings according to your wishes, with flavors that can blend with the noodles. If you are confused about what kind of noodles, I've made an article about noodles here. https://read.cash/@fiolyn_rea/the-most-delicious-variant-of-indonesian-instant-noodles-04af4e76
Playing Games
I'm not the type of person who really likes games. Don’t get me wrong, I like games but I'm not someone who is considered a “master” in the gaming world. In the game itself, there are several genres that are considered capable of sharpening our brains. In conjunction to train the brain and be more productive, choose games with agility and strategy genres such as FPS, Cards and Strategy genres that may be suitable to restore tired brain function.
Basically, playing games is a hobby and changes our mood because we are tired after activities. More than that, today's game has evolved to be able to pay its players, especially in the crypto world which calls its own area called **P2E Game**. Getting something from the game will boost the morale of the players because of the prize money, tokens that lure them in. So, it's a *“super alternative”* worth trying.
In conclusion, I hope the points above are useful to get rid of the chaos of the heart and mind. So, I think it will be suitable to be applied in a climate that often rains like this. The goal is that we want to be more productive and our brains will not freeze because of problems that are lurking.

Assumptions Questioning Great Discoveries
In the beginning, humans lived in simplicity. They even started life in quite primitive conditions without ever knowing things that are technical and thinking in terms of science. This made human life at that time completely monotonous. They just hunt, eat, and sleep and it will be done again the next day.
It took hundreds or thousands of years to change when early humans began to think of something important. At that time, they might find the language that became the forerunner of human communication and language today. Then, we continue to the next life where civilization begins to move in a better direction by being masterminded by the discoveries & experiments carried out by scientists at that time.
Here, scientists create simple invention tools that are very useful for moving life. Objects such as telephones, printers, lamps and others are the beginning of great inventions that can then be transformed for various needs. I have a question in my mind. **So,** **did humans at that time have a high level of genius so that they could make important discoveries before others knew about them?**
The answer may vary. This may be caused by thoughts and reflections that grow into new ideas. The second possibility is also caused by reflection on new ideas. The difference is that scientists are made aware of other people's experiences and experiments that have been carried out before, but that didn’t turn out to be something that was considered successful.
For example, the plague that hit Sir Isaac Newton made him think things beyond the understanding of most people at the time. In the end, he was able to make concepts and experiments that underlie the teachings of calculus, the force of gravity which makes this the basis of one of the concepts of mathematics and physics.
So, how did Sir Isaac Newton find it where there isn’t enough literature or book evidence to make it a reference in making difficult concepts? It is very difficult to explain this and maybe only Sir Isaac Newton knows how he can think of things. He can solve something that doesn't make sense with a solution more acceptable to human reason.
Then, the second is the discovery based on thought resulting from previous experiences. I mean by that, there are indeed inventors who aren’t early, but they confirm and refine the invention in a way that is better and useful for the next era.
As an example, you may know that Benjamin Franklin is known as the inventor of electricity. Until the time he managed to publish a book entitled *"Experiments and Observation of Electricity"* to introduce electricity to the public. But, he wasn’t the initial discoverer that electricity became a part of human life. Electricity was first discovered by a Greek thinker named Thales. Although only an observation of static electricity, this simple discovery became a continuous discovery that was investigated by William Gilbert, Benjamin Franklin and Michael Faraday as the last discoverers of electricity who perfected electricity for the future of mankind.
**So,** **I assume that there are scientists who get the idea purely from the greatness of their mind and there are also those who continue the concept of the discovery until it becomes a perfect discovery**. Whatever it is, we have the great technology of today, a great era because of their ideas & hard work. We should be grateful to the geniuses of the past who have created useful inventions and great tools. Without them, the transformation and development of science will not occur and even forever we will be ancient humans. I also don’t forget to thank God that they have created great humans and genius brains.

Learn Foreign Languages Without Stress & Headache
Learning is a long-term process that involves brain function and strong memory. This means that learning takes time to reach the stage of understanding the content of knowledge. Therefore, a person needs the patience to wait until people can understand and have certain skills.
On this occasion, I want to discuss learning a foreign language. This is one of the important skills in this century because language is a bridge to getting to know other humans. This is because each country has a different language and culture. Therefore, an understanding between one another is needed.
People who only speak only one language are called ***monoglots***. Meanwhile, people who speak multiple languages are called ***polyglots***. There are many countries or people who are accustomed to using more than two or more languages. Usually, they combine the official language of the country with the local language. Countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, Philippines are claimed to have the ability to more than 2 languages.
Therefore, these countries are considered examples that humans having a brain that stores a lot of language space. This language will be used for various purposes such as friendship, business, traveling or others. So, it is quite important to learn when dealing with people whose language is different from ours.
Learning a foreign language is difficult, but there are also easy ones without stressing you out and giving you headaches. Therefore, you should know what language you choose and learn. So, everyone sets measurable goals to be able to assess their own abilities. This is intended to make it easier for language learners to digest.
In order to learn a language easily, there are certain tips that you can use.
Free Writing Based Diary
Write down anything you like or something you come across often or maybe a word or phrase that seems strange to you. For example, starting with the word ***"Bonjour"*** (French) or ***"Como Estas"*** (Spanish). So, start with the simple way. This may seem trivial, but this is what you really have to do from the start in knowing any language. It's best not to worry about grammar first. You have to get used to what you see, and what you hear. Then, write down what happened on this day or a specific event.
Practice Speaking With General Topics
In addition to practicing handwriting, your brain also needs to be trained with speech responses. You don't need to have a serious discussion. Instead of accelerating your skills, you will actually get an error because you can't remember all the words. So, start with a casual conversation, simple but accurate. For example, we will try Russian:
**(A)**: У тебя скоро день рождения (U tebya skora den’ razhdeniya)
**(B)**: да, послезавтра (Da, poslezaftra).
In English, it means:
**(A)**: Your birthday is really soon
**(B)**: Yes, It’s the day after tomorrow.
So, you should try to open up a general topic. Don't make it difficult.
Practice Listening To Music
A good speaker is a good listener. You won't understand the language and its meaning if you can't understand what other people are saying. This method doesn’t require energy to think hard. You can open Spotify or YouTube application, then play music in the language you are following. At first, this was difficult. But, if you try again and again, you will begin to be able to follow the singer's rhythm. Then, you try to memorize the lyrics and get to the point where you understand the meaning of the song. For example, you may want to memorize the lyrics and understand this Japanese song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZBbpna9NB0
Practice By Watching Movies
As well to listening to songs, watching movies is also a fun activity. Movies devices are currently equipped with subtitle tools that can help users from other countries (other than the native country), understand the content or context of the movie. You can start by looking at the subtitles to understand the context. But for the next one (the next movie or series), you can challenge yourself to try to see it without any translation content. For example, I give a video drama series from Thailand:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Mst8kjdbQ&list=PL_88uEn2Bw50B_WA6Rfu1zDngeMOi2Z9k
So, those are ways to learn languages that I think won't burden your brain and can be done in a relaxed manner. Happy language learning!

The Most Delicious Variant of Indonesian Instant Noodles
There are many delicious foods in Indonesia. Starting from dry food to soupy food. Most are cheap and some are expensive. However, the average ASEAN food can be purchased at affordable prices. This is something that is usually done if we are surveying foods that are suitable for our stomachs.
In this discussion, I want to discuss the most delicious noodle variants that I have ever enjoyed. Indeed, not all noodles I've ever tried. some of them here, I caught based on the experience of family or friends who have tried it and they are quite consistent to judge the taste of the various variants of noodles that have been tried.
In Indonesia, there are various famous noodle products, including Indomie, Mie Sedaap, Sarimi, Supermi, Mie ABC and Mie Gaga. Actually, there are a few more. But, this is a product that is often consumed by Indonesians, including myself. So, this assessment **tends to be subjective** because it is based on the experience of family, friends and myself who tried it.
From the list of noodles that I have mentioned, I only focus on 2 products, namely **Indomie** and **Mie Sedaap** because these variants are more often sold outside Indonesia and are often found in several countries (CMIIW). So, for friends at read.cash who want to try it, these 2 noodle products are easier to find. From here, I tried to do a list of the most delicious noodle variants (in my opinion).
**The first is Indomie Mie Goreng**. This is the first noodle variant that was made before the next variants appeared. This noodle has the original taste of the fried Indomie noodle product which is claimed to be one of the most delicious noodles in Indonesia. In fact, it is also claimed to be one of the most delicious noodles in the world. As an introduction for those of you who are new to Indonesian noodles, you must try this noodle.
**The second is the Mie Sedaap Singaporean Spicy Laksa**. This noodle is a new variant issued by Mie Sedaap. At an affordable price, you must be wrong to guess the taste. This noodle is quite thick with a sharp and spicy sauce taste. They provide 2 levels of spicy taste that you can choose. With a deep red sauce and thick noodle texture, I guarantee that you will be addicted to trying it. This noodle is quite recommended for those of you who like spicy noodle soup.
**The third is the Mie Sedaap Goreng Korean Spicy Chicken**. Because the prestige of K-Pop and K-Drama is on the rise in Indonesia, Mie Sedaap is brave enough to innovate to present this product. This noodle is quite comparable to Samyang Noodles, but the level of spiciness is still below that and they sell it at a lower price. You can sprinkle all the dry chili powder if you feel challenged to taste the full spiciness. Always prepare a tissue because you will sweat if you eat this noodle.
**The fourth is Mie Sedaap White Curry**. Here I'm still discussing Mie Sedaap variant, but this time I'm talking about noodle soup. According to the color and name, this noodle soup is equipped with white powder seasoning and when you mix the powder into the noodles, the savory and sweet taste will fill your mouth when you chew, then swallow the noodles. There is no spicy taste here because these noodles tend to be sweet. So, this noodle is suitable for those of you who don't like the spicy taste.
**The fifth is Indomie Mie Goreng Aceh**. Actually, I'm a little hard to compare with Indomie Mie Goreng Rendang. But, I chose this noodle because the texture of the noodle is thicker. This noodle is claimed to be tastier than the original Acehnese noodles in general. With a slightly spiced seasoning, I guarantee that you don't eat enough of this noodle just 1 pack. The drawback, this noodle isn’t always available anywhere. So, it's kind of quite rare.
**The last one is Indomie Ayam Bawang (Onion Chicken)**. Well, I think this one is a bit controversial because maybe you think there are better ones than this. But, I chose this noodle soup because I buy it more often than other noodles and the taste hasn't changed since Indomie first marketed this noodle in the past. In terms of taste, I feel the freshness of the yellow gravy that blends into the noodles. So, this noodle feels quite light if you want to eat it like a snack.
So, that's the list of noodles that I've tried and I've been satisfied eating them for a while. If you feel disagree or want to add another noodle. You can write in the comments, so I'll look into it later. Thank you~.

Maintain Security Without Quality
I believe that the advancement of digital technology today means that it can advance human development in a better direction. I also believe that this digital technology has a positive impact on brighter education. But, there are many factors why this development isn’t the same from one person to another even between countries. It is still homework for technology engineers to be able to solve problems and unite opinions for more planned development.
However, technology implementers often encounter a steep road where disagreements occur with state policymakers. Thus, this supposedly reliable cooperation can’t move forward. I often stroke my chest and want to throw eggs at the Indonesian technology department, which is very bad at dealing with technology issues. I hope those who read this can understand that this is the criticism I want to express.
**First,** you won't be able to move forward just because a tech company must require PSE verification. The government built a large budget only to build site verification which is considered to be often used by Indonesian users. Then, they did blocking unilaterally without wanting to hear the complaints made by internet users. They block important sites like Paypal, Steam, Google, GitHub, Figma and many more just to obey the law and have to verify PSE.
As a result, many Indonesian internet users are angry and complaining about the attitude of the Indonesian Ministry of Technology (this is called **Kemkominfo**) which is being ridiculous and shutting down the digital work sector, especially freelancers and gamers. They think that sites should obey Indonesian tax laws and must comply with Indonesian cyber laws. This baseless accusation was dismissed by many internet users. Netizens think that they just want to make the internet stricter by carrying out brutal censorship that injures freedom of expression and democracy.
**Second,** management of personal data security is very poor and injures the privacy of many people. When there is important data in the database, it should be maintained properly. So, some important user data such as Tokopedia user data and Indihome internet customer data can be sold through a site or forum. This leaves a very big hole because the people who work there aren’t qualified enough or don’t have the quality and techniques to handle quite complex internet security jobs.
This chaos in the work structure stems from the institution's longstanding bad culture. So, they don't have the quality to plan something for the long term such as thinking about data security or protecting user privacy from irresponsible hacking attacks. Initially, the institution tried to recruit young employees who were more creative and innovative. But, their careers can’t develop because the seniors or old employees in the institution can’t be replaced by young ones because they abuse their position.
Then, they kicked out the young employees for jeopardizing the careers of the old employees. In fact, the performance of the old employees was very poor compared to the new employees which had a much more positive impact. This chaos and silliness still continue to this day. **So,** **no one dares to change except the president who has to dismantle this rot**.
So, that's the silliness that happened that I've revealed. Aside from being a critique, this is also a lesson for all of you that if you want to pursue a further career (any job), you must bring quality within yourself because managing work without good quality will only create holes that will harm you and others.

Play With Police Tactics
Most of the events that occur in this world are also dominated by the number of crimes and destruction. Crime news often appears on television, radio and the internet because it makes the audience aware that dangerous signals can occur anytime and anywhere. For some people, this news is so frightening and unsettling that they don't want to hear it. But, some people are enthusiastic because they want to protect themselves from crime, either it’s individually or in groups.
From this problem, **it is the duty of the police to regulate and reduce the crime rate in a city or area**. This should have been the job of the police because they’re already trained, armed and paid by the state to secure a city from any threat. They usually quell small-scale crimes such as theft of goods from minimarkets and also large-scale criminals. The biggest threat usually comes from terrorists who have big names because they don't just target individuals, they also intend to weaken the sovereignty and ideology of the state. So, they can kill anyone who doesn't like their ideology.
But, terrorists are usually equipped with strong-armed expertise and covert tactics that are difficult to track down. So, what did the police do to catch them? what they often do is usually carry out covert operations, disguises or the role of someone who is not recognized by the terrorists. Usually, they turn into farmers, traders or whatever to spy on the activities of the terrorists. It's like reminding us of childhood when we played roles such as chef, pilot and policeman. Then, there were other roles that I don't need to mention.
From a task like this, do you think doing disguises and spying skills is that easy? This isn't easy because it requires consistency in roles, hiding identities so that local residents don't suspect anything and thinking negatively about police disguises. **There are certain tricks and tools owned by the police so that they are equipped with trained skills**. *But, I'm not going to talk about weapons or firearms here because I'm afraid read.cash won't allow me, although my post isn’t meant to promote weapons*.
So, let's focus on the tactics that the police often use. Well, in certain suspected cases, they usually make observations about the location, what they can do, what disguises are suitable for that place and how long the disguise is carried out. Thus, strategic plans were carried out so that the arrest of the perpetrators was successful. To communicate, the police usually exchange information with tools such as **“handy talky”**. They exchange important information about the target's state, situation and look for the right moment to ambush. of course, the information is confidential and they use a certain password.
They usually always stand by with the handy talky so they can get in touch with other relevant police and hide it from anyone as much as possible. It doesn't matter what role the police play because their tactics can be anything according to the place and target they are focused on. In the example picture above, they can be scavengers of used goods and motorbike drivers. However, their characteristics can be seen that they have an important tool (the tool circled in the picture is a handy talky).
Below is an example of another image they often disguise:
In conclusion, they can turn into roles that local residents can't predict. **The police can change as smoothly and naturally as possible mingling with the citizens**. Thus, no one is aware of the fact that they are the police. In fact, this method always works and is consistently carried out in various cases so that it becomes a reliable trick or tactic to open criminal cases that often occur especially in my country, Indonesia. Then, do the police in your place also have the same trick? you can tell me in the comments, thank you.

Flapping Wings In The Land of Dreams
If you see a bird traveling in the sky, they are very happy to fly in the air and hunt its prey. The birds aren’t just content to roam in their territory, they can hunt in enemy territory. No matter how unfamiliar the place was, they kept on looking for the prey they wanted. So, this is the parable of humans who feel thirsty for dreams.
When someone learns and continues to explore something important, they will gain useful knowledge and experience that can be used in life. Then from the learning outcomes, a person can work to meet personal needs. At this stage, humans begin to compete for jobs, money and positions. Once they get what they want, they can invest, spend money or create a path to go in any direction.
However, making such a path isn’t easy. **We have to look at the measurable range of obstacles and enemies**. In the college phase, you have enemies from your own friends who have almost the same interests or at least a toxic teacher who is hindering your process. At the job level, your enemies are more diverse such as bosses, co-workers or even the outside environment such as people who may hate the company because its activities are detrimental to citizens.
Struggles and strife to get the highest grades in college or a good position at work are inevitable. This is the ridiculous part of life where I don't want to compete with my friends. I'm afraid to make new enemies because some types of competition have a negative impact. Apart from that, another sad factor is that **not everyone is lucky enough to be able to continue their education in college and get a decent job**. Such conditions are stressful because there are many obstacles that prevent a person from developing. So, people can’t spread their wings freely and seek goals as expected.
Fortunately, the door to success doesn’t only come from one door. The condition of the world that digitizes itself makes people open their eyes to the presence of other opportunities as alternatives.
So, nowadays there are many online platforms or sites that offer many ways, tutorials to make you smarter and more talented in a particular field. For example, if you or anyone else wants to learn basic general knowledge or general lecture material, you can access Khan Academy, UO People and EDX. Then, if there are people who might be looking for more specific material such as marketing, you can study it on the list of programs provided by Hubspot or maybe study more freely on Udemy. Even though Udemy is a paid platform, they often hold promos so the price is cheaper and affordable. https://www.khanacademy.org/ https://www.uopeople.edu/ https://www.edx.org/ https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/free-online-courses https://www.udemy.com/courses/marketing/
Then at the job search level, there are several job search platforms that allow you to work remotely. Sites like Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer and PeoplePerHour allow you to enter the world of digital work differently. There are many different fields in that place such as web development, graphic design, writing, translation and many more. For newcomers, I only recommend trying Fiverr because beginners have the same chance of success, have a more unique field of work and have a more diverse clientele. https://www.upwork.com/ https://www.fiverr.com/ https://www.freelancer.com/ https://www.peopleperhour.com/
So, that's an alternative that I offer to you. If you are successful in achieving a job on the platform listed above, this can be your unique experience and CV. You can use this preference to show it elsewhere. It is also a sign that you can work with anyone, anytime and anywhere. So, in this way you can spread and flap your wings to where you want to work or travel. If this has been your dream for a long time, don't hesitate to get started.

If You Meet Fake Happiness
When someone helps me out of trouble, he will find another space for expression. He says *"I can't stay here for long. Let's go out and find something better"*. This is something that may often be said when people feel tired and bored with the activities they feel. Then, they look for a way out to make themselves happy.
**The path to happiness can be reached in many ways**. You can spend time in shopping centers or malls eating with family, friends or you can also attend certain exhibitions or events. Then in some places, you can also enjoy exciting games provided by the mall. Then, you can spend time traveling to various places. If you want a cool place to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, you can go to the mountain and see the shady tree line. You can also go on a trip to the beach if you want to unwind by swimming, feeling the waves and meeting some unique animals. So, that's how to unwind and feel happy.
Even so, we always feel that this good mood is quickly exhausted by the demanding conditions of the world that make one unable to relax freely. Although someone enjoys the beach atmosphere, his/her mind can’t be separated from the work that will haunt tomorrow. A person eventually replenishes the space of stress in his/her mind. So, vacation time like that is useless and we find it difficult to stop it because this is the flow of our life that continues from time to time.
So, is the happiness we've ever felt just something fake? I can only answer **yes and no**. I agree because the happiness that is felt is only temporary and time will thin out human happiness before the problems and work come back.
As an example, what you see on TV, such as celebrities who love to sing and dance also can’t be separated from many problems even though they are rich and have a lot of money. Many sides of falsehood are used for profit and business only. Yes, this is the entertainment business. Basically, the celebrities who are on TV also experience stress due to heavy workloads. It's no surprise that some of them end up resorting to dangerous alternative means like using drugs to calm themselves down. So, celebrities are also humans who have feelings of tiredness and bad mood conditions that are difficult to describe.
But, not all happiness that everyone feels is fake. There are still many people out there who start life from the bottom and have hard principles. They work hard from the ground up to become whatever they want to be. For example, singers, footballers and others. When they are at the top and win an award, they will cry. This cry is interpreted as happiness for what they have done. They couldn't hide that expression and everyone would be sure that it was honestly portrayed.
So, this situation isn't always the same because the falsehood is **influenced by the background or the problem experienced and the situation or moment that occurs**. Another example, people who have cars will be happy because they are richer than others. But, they aren't happy because the taxes are high and the car payments haven't been paid off. Most of us want to portray ourselves in front of many people but forget how to be honest with reality.
We don't need to be ashamed of ourselves for being poor and imperfect. The one who should be ashamed is a man who deceives himself. So, people should be proud and happy about the positive things they have achieved. Although the measure of happiness seems small and temporary.

Working World: Employee Salary Transactions With Crypto
The world economic situation is deteriorating. Covid-19, war and inflation exacerbate what is happening right now. Then, this affects several sectors such as agriculture, finance, restaurants, offices and others. Workers have to accept the bitter situation where the price of goods is increasing due to the influence of inflation which worsens household finances.
Workers affected by the global economic, downturn have to accept the fact that they have to receive salaries in the form of cryptocurrencies. This is based on a statement from the global freelance site, Deel. Their calculations are based on the release date they made, namely **The State of Global Hiring Report 2022**. https://www.deel.com/ https://www.deel.com/state-of-global-hiring-2022
Based on the release written on the document, they argue that although the top companies are bearish, there are a number of companies that use crypto as a means of payment that can be used by 5%. This number is up about 2% from last year so crypto adaptation has a significant impact. Especially in the LATAM area or Latin America and EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa).
History that describes active crypto transactions that occur in the region, which consists of 67% of account withdrawal activities in the LATAM area and about 24% of countries that are members of the EMEA region carrying out cryptocurrency withdrawal activities. Another note is about the frequency of the type of coin that is often traded or withdrawn by workers is **Bitcoin (BTC)**, which has the highest frequency of use, around 47%. The second position is **USD Coin (USDC)** which has a record withdrawal frequency of around 29%. The third position is occupied by **Ethereum (ETH)**, which is around 14%.
Then, what is the meaning of the data above? This can mean that people especially general workers in these countries are increasingly concerned with digital-based finance. They want investments or assets for the long term. In a more detailed explanation, people who are interested in getting into the world of cryptocurrencies have 3 reasons.
**First**, workers want crypto as a tool that can maintain the value of money and expect its value to continue to rise above FIAT currencies. The instability of FIAT money is considered to be detrimental to their financial planning. **Second**, workers want easy money transactions and to avoid outdated banking regulations. Banking regulations are often a waste of consumer time, cumbersome and inflexible. **Third**, workers want investment in coins with a faster velocity and higher volume. Stocks have high returns but don't have the time acceleration as good as cryptocurrencies.
So, those are the goals and reasons expressed by the workers regarding their need for crypto. **Their reasons aren’t entirely true**. For example, FIAT does look bad these days. But, crypto is much worse to predict because the volatility is too high. Then, stocks don't have a market as fast as crypto. But, it is safer than crypto, at least for medium-term investment. In conclusion, workers may not be able to properly assess the characteristics of cryptocurrencies. On the bright side, ***more and more people in this world are getting to know the use of cryptocurrencies***.

Challenge Myself to Conquer The Mystery
It feels like there are many parts of this world that I have never explored. Many places that might be more fun if I was there. But, there is another possibility that it will be scary. Most likely, I don't know and it looks like I need some exploration to answer that. For example, if I want to go all the way to a fun place, I'll probably go to Bangkok where it's a familiar place for traveling. Even Europeans visit Thailand (especially Bangkok or Pattaya) because the things there are sold cheaply.
But, it provided no additional knowledge and challenge for me because it doesn’t offer a challenging adventure and has a mystery to solve. As part of an exploration that I have explored on my own, I once traveled by car with an unusual route (for more details, you can see it here: Find Hidden Gems When Travelling to Village). So, I followed an unusual road that I've been on because I wanted to feel a bit of the sensation of adventuring through a road that not many people use when *“mudik tradition”* has arrived. https://read.cash/@fiolyn_rea/find-hidden-gems-when-travelling-to-village-26040b91
So, from that story, I enjoyed the sensation of a different road. There are pleasant things, such as views of mountains and rice fields that I did not expect that the route offered a beauty that I had never seen. But, I also get the thrill of going through a bit of a deserted forest area where I don't want to be stuck in the forest area for a long time because the view of the big trees around the road is scary. It's that kind of thing that gives me an added impression. So, I feel challenged to do that.
I also have a dream to visit other places with a different sense of mystery. There are still many mysteries in other places that I want to feel the warmth of the phenomenon. I want to feel a different sensation in that place. For example, do you know Area 51 in Nevada? well, this place is dominated by dry land, has no trees and houses. This area is a forbidden place to visit in the United States which has a lot of controversy and mystery in it. Then, this makes people curious (including me) about the mysteries that exist within the area. Until the time comes, there is a group of people who want to invade area 51 known as the “Naruto Runner”. In the end, this method failed and United States military secrets were kept under control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhfx0bR7Zx4
Nothing can be revealed except to unlock the mystery. So, there is a sense of disappointment because this is difficult to express. However, human soul feels relieved and feels smarter than other humans for knowing the mysteries earlier. This is an advantage we take from the mystery event. Just imagine if you are a cartoon character like Mr. Plankton in the *"Spongebob Squarepants"* series. How would you feel if you managed to steal the secret recipe from the Krusty Krab? of course, you can make your restaurant better in terms of food quality and beat your competitors. So, **it is a proud thing if people have an advantage over the other**.
Besides wanting to be better than others, **uncovering mysteries is also part of training mentally**. We know that mystery is scary because people don't know what will happen. The more we unlock the mystery step by step, the truth will be revealed. Often occurs in suspenseful films or events in true stories of murders with mysterious killers. At this level, we need to think logically to know the truth and facts.
So, I like mysterious things because I want to know more than others and strengthen my mentality. Something you believe will not be revealed if you don’t check the truth thoroughly. People have to see with their own eyes if they feel challenged by mystery and want to reveal something properly.

Money is a Victory that Breaks Boundaries
As one of the important elements in this world, ***money becomes a vital subject as a means of payment or transactions that occur in every person and company*****.** People are willing to raise a lot of money to buy anything they want. In addition, money can be used as supremacy over individual wealth. Therefore, whoever has a lot of money, will be respected by many people and it becomes part of everyone's dream to be rich.
To earn money, it is not enough just to work hard without maximizing the investment potential. Therefore, people who are already famous for being rich like *Bill Gates*, *Elon Musk*, *Warren Buffett* don't just rely on their energy to get money. **They invest everywhere** so that they can multiply while making the money work into passive income. In the end, financial freedom can be realized because they have made a passive income system without having to do heavy work. So, here's the simple answer to how rich people make financial systems that work for themselves.
Then, **what about the lower class society?** this seems to take several stages or several years to produce something big that is as big as the achievements of the successful entrepreneurs above (or even longer if something bad happens). This is what the lower class people need to realize it is difficult for them to win the competition over the money factor. They always lose the fight if the crucial factor that is determined is money.
**For example:** let's say that you have a woman that you like. As part of the struggle to win her heart, you have a motorbike to take her to travel somewhere and only eat at ordinary restaurants. Meanwhile, your rival has a sports car and invites her into a fancy restaurant. Can you guess which one impressed her and looked more loyal? of course, your rival wins the competition over you. The money factor beats you, so your rivals are above you.
From the above conditions, one needs to make changes in order to win the competition for money. **So, what should the lower class people do?** at the very least, there were three important stages one had to go through in order to avenge such conditions in the future. So, I will explain these important steps below.
Education or Knowledge
First, **society must have access to quality education and knowledge**. These two basic things are important and related. Basic education starts from elementary school. Then, continued with junior high school and high school. At least, students who reach the high school level already have a clear plan for the future. But, it isn’t perfect if it doesn’t continue until the college stage. People who successfully graduate from college are considered to have large capital to build something. At least, this is the minimum capital to find a more decent job than far above the average person with only a high school education.
But, back to the money problem faced by the lower classes of society. **Not everyone has the money to go to college**. Then, this is exacerbated if it only reaches junior high school and elementary school. So, the result of such an education will be less capital to take someone to a higher level. Therefore, *third-party assistance* (for example, education volunteers) is needed to help accelerate education which is the same as normal education in general. so it is expected that they have the same mindset and knowledge.
Market Selection & See Opportunities
If the basic education or knowledge has been achieved (at least at the high school level), **they must choose a market niche or field of work to be prepared**. I mean, they have to make a favorable selection of their niche market or field of work. They have to select a niche market that can make more money or a field of work that allows them to earn more money. Don't force a *saturated market* niche if your product is no longer unique. You must have time to innovate to save your product and potential market. As well as the field of work entered by the applicant. Don't push yourself if you also only have the same standard quality as a thousand other applicants.
For example, let's say you apply for a job as a personal driver. A typical personal driver only understands how to drive a car and understands routes on the roads in the city. Meanwhile, there are a small number of private drivers who can also become car mechanics and know a lot about car problems. Thus, this benefits car owners because they can save money and go to the service center less often (*although it is possible for a personal driver to get paid above average*).
Create an Organized Personal Investment System
The next plan is when you have a business that has a large income, then there is always income or you already have a job that pays above average and has stable finances. In this condition, **you should think that it is time to make a profit from the investment**. You will not do business or work continuously because human productivity can decrease due to age or disease. So, the need for investment is made not just a matter of doubling the money. But, it is also related to well-being and saves people from stress, frustration and other health problems that may arise when the impact of work makes the body condition worse.
So, your next plan is to invest in something where it has an impact in the short, medium and long term. An investment can consist of any instrument. If you are afraid of holding money and don't know how to invest properly, you can choose ***mutual funds***. If you are an aggressive type of investor, wanting to get big returns in the long term, you can choose ***stocks*** as an investment instrument. Then, there are a number of investors who just want to play it safe in the instruments of ***property and gold***. Whatever your investment choice, you have to think wisely in putting money. In the end, you managed to make a passive income system that works for you. So, no more hard work is needed because your investment is enough to pay you passively.
Those are the stages to be able to match the level of the famous entrepreneur above. So, you can reach the level of high society. At this peak stage, you can buy whatever you want and that includes winning the competition against your rivals. So, your money can benefit your situation and break existing boundaries.

Women’s Anxiety In Their Late 20s
Time goes on and the number of a person's age is getting bigger. When people face childhood, everyone wants to be an adult. Some of them dare to mention a number of great ideal dreams such as pilots, astronauts and others. But as adults, we face the fact that it is very hard to achieve and only a few people can make their dreams come true.
This includes horror questions that are often asked by family, relatives and other close relationships with women. **Women often avoid questions about marriage** **and the types of men they are approaching**. So, is the man well-behaved, loyal and honest with you? this answer, only you can answer it and understand how you feel.
But, how do those people easily talk out loud about other people's privacy? don't they realize that those words might hurt the heart? **Not everyone is ready for sensitive questions**. But, this kind of custom in *Southeast Asia* or other parts of *Asia* has become a habit because it is considered as caring as a fellow human being. Women have their own reasons behind their decision to marry or not. No one can interfere with that right. So, that concern has limits.
So, whatever the reasons or factors that cause women to do something, ***we must accept it and don’t need to comment excessively***. It's their life and they walk on their own feet or they don't use your feet. This becomes one of the points of anxiety when women aged 25 to 30 years old because it is easy for others to judge other people's lives. If you are in a different environment or culture, you will never face this.
After marriage, **women's anxiety continues on child problems**. Your spouse and parents may want at least 2 children. But, you can't do it quickly because you need to have better finances and time management. Mental and psychological preparation is also needed because child care requires patience, struggle to achieve what you and your husband expect. So, no one wants to be burdened by the presence of children. Although your parents want to see the results of your marriage.
Then at the same age, **women face the fear of their parents getting older and getting sick**. Parents will not be the same as at productive age. After the work period is over, they spend time at home, resting and just want to see the grandchildren resulting from their child's marriage. Diseases also began to appear which caused their children to sacrifice work time to care for their parents. If the disease is severe, the children must be willing to pay for hospital treatment in large amounts (*more specifically, if they don't have health insurance*). So, women are afraid to lose time, energy and money on something they can't predict.
By looking at the weight of women's burdens, then **we need to appreciate whatever they do**. If women want higher education, husbands must support them. So, you can make your dreams come true together. Women also need their ideal place depending on what they want. So, people have to learn more about empathy, respect for women's achievements and other things.

The Comfort of Love In Same Frequency
There are millions of people on Earth who have unique traits, behaviors from one another. Most of them don't know each other unless we're identifying family or friends whom we have personal contacts on our cellphones and know deeply about. It's God's secret and miracle that he makes almost everything unique. Some of the people are almost the same, but it's just a few that are identified before the differences overwhelm the facts. If you learn about how family DNA is formed, you will know more about who your family is and the characters in it. That's one way to get to know other humans who are near you.
Apart from family, we also feel ***similarities*** and ***differences*** with friends and our loved ones. We share life stories either happy or sad. Some people looking for friends to share the same fate. Some people get together closely because of the same hobby. Humans are always looking for a habitat where someone will feel valued on the same level. Rich people don't want to hang out and drink with poor people. People who like to play games don’t want to hang out with people who like to read books. As simple as that is the movement of human groups, whether it occurs naturally or not.
In looking for a partner, **everyone has their own criteria**. This is formed from background experience, idealism towards certain personal expectations and other factors. Let's say that there are women who like men with athletic bodies, but there are also those who don't want to for some reason. There are men who are attracted to smart women, but many men also like ordinary women because they are more obedient to their husbands. So, everyone has a certain reason why they choose one thing over the other.
This is all formed because of comfort and positive energy in the same frequency. If the linkage approach is associated with radio frequency. So, a relationship that isn't compatible with the recipient will be difficult to capture a clear broadcast that can be enjoyed by all people or certain groups. So that, it has a high probability of leaving the broadcast. On the other hand, a clear radio channel that matches the frequency in one area will have the possibility that the broadcast radio receiver enjoys a longer broadcast. **So, we analogize the love relationship with an appropriate radio frequency**. Frequency match determines comfort in making love to someone.
Sometimes, *humans need to be very grateful for God's blessings*. Because not all humans get comfortable with love. Some of them are forced to love because of pressure from someone, some of them just want money or some other reason. Therefore, they don't get a comfortable wave of love. The wave of love comes from the formation of frequency or attraction to the same thing. I understand that love isn't science taught in school. But, love is formed when humans are born. So, every human being needs to appreciate whoever comes into our lives so that comfort arises because we have tried to match the frequency with other humans.

Harmonization of Love & Hate
In fact, **anyone is free to express something either directly or oppositely**. For example, if there is a mouse in the house, of course there must be a cat waiting there. Or if you like quiet things, maybe your friends prefer busy situations and other examples of opposite conflicts that you have understood according to the examples.
As well as your relationship life with someone. **So**, **what I mean is that there is hate, there is also love**. This often happens when these two variables form a combination between one person and another. With the term variable, I don't plan on discussing this to be any more difficult. But, it is only to illustrate that the two things do have their own combination.
This combination requires problem-solving or a logical proof base, even though the levels of love and hate aren’t always based on logic. First, we need to equate perceptions as said by Konrad Lorenz in his book entitled *“On Aggression”*. He admits or states that love is formed because of aggression. Aggression in the language of love can be understood in two ways. Aggression is perhaps an attack to express love. The second aggression is the pure sense of hatred. Then, the second understanding is closer to Lorenz's statement. https://monoskop.org/images/d/d0/Lorenz_Konrad_On_Aggression_2002.pdf
This aggression or hatred is a natural trait that everyone has. This aggression variable is the starting point for the existence of love. Then, this becomes a very opposite and anomalous thing because transmitting love isn't supposed to give negative energy that triggers the relationship to end. On the other hand, this seems natural from a friendship point of view because the closer you are to your friends, the more stupid and rude someone will say and act, especially in friendships between men. Meanwhile, it would seem disgusting if they showed affection directly.
Another example is jealousy. A couple doesn't actually really hate their partner for being close to someone else. **She wants to show the care that is converted by hate**. In fact, such expressions are not channeled into positive energy. A partner may ask for a breakup or even slap her partner if she can't contain the negative energy that is rising.
Because of this imperfection, Lorenz's theory was refuted by Erich Fromm who rejected hate as the basis of love. In his book entitled *“The Roots of Violence”*, Fromm argues that love arises because of narcissism. This narcissistic sense becomes a thirst for love and a high sense of recognition that the individual must be considered the most special. This will also eliminate the relationship between the two variables. For example, if you hate a merchant who cheats on you, you certainly won't be interested in loving them. This removes the ties between the two opposite sides. https://www.fromm-gesellschaft.eu/images/pdf-Dateien/2004a-1970-e
So, variable context only applies to 1 variable only. **Just hate or love and there is no connection between them**. So, that's what happens in the relationship between hate and love which has always been a harmony that colors human life. As an example from another case, how would you rate the treatment of *Stockholm Syndrome*? In my own opinion, this is a painful form of perversion. Basically, the victim hates and feels hurt by the perpetrator. However, the manipulative attitude of the perpetrator can make the victim still needs the affection of the perpetrator. In the end, this kind of love has become unhealthy.
So, what do you think? If you have another opinion, please write something in the comments column. Thank you.

Combating Mental Chaos & Overthinking
We live in an era where all important things we have to think about. Starting from day-to-day planning, big steps that we wanted and thinking about moments that might be unexpected. **Unfortunately**, human thought tends to focus on the unexpected because it cannot be described or predicted.
Is anyone worried about *“what if some countries trigger war and the era of world war returns again?”*. Oh, this is a scary thing or this is something that cannot be described. But, no human being knows the future. *“Does anyone know that tomorrow is the end of the world and not a part of the 2012 movie?”*. Something like this is also indescribable. This is natural because humans focus on something they don't know and try to find the real facts.
This is what causes someone (even ourselves) to experience excessive overthinking of something. Ranging from family problems, friendships, occupation, romantic life and others. Let's say the commotion between your parents makes you mentally confused or losing your job makes you think all the time about how you eat and think about other needs. Whether you are ready or not, this is a fact that often happens.
Then, the only thing that can be done is just turn this anxiety into something certain or predictable. However, keep in mind that not everything can be solved easily. **If you don't really find a solution, you're just getting stuck in the overthinking zone**. In the end, someone has a mental illness (in this case a disease like OCD) where we really have a disorder that makes the brain unable to organize our activities properly. This OCD will make a person stuck on one problem and unable to move on to other activities because they are thinking about the same or previous things over and over again.
**Then, what do we need to do?** The first time, we must ensure that our brain, psychological and mental performance consciously that we take action and plan for something at a level that is still normal. If you have any doubts or something worse is happening, you should visit a doctor or psychologist. They will examine you in more detail if that happens.
If you feel overthinking where it is still in a normal condition, you can still apply the solutions and try them on yourself. There are several things you can do. I will explain below:
Relax or Sleep
If you have a heavy load on your head, it's time you take a break or sleep. No matter how far off your goal is, if you feel the pain you won't be able to do anything productively. Taking vacations is also part of restoring your health and productivity. There is no specific time limit for taking a vacation. So, if you feel you need a lot of rest, you can take a long vacation. If you are fresh again, you can rethink past problems.
Do Something New
Forget the problems that you feel and you should try new things to forget the problem temporarily. For example, you can go to a place that you've never been, you can play an instrument that you've never played, meet new friends, be creative through new food ideas and other things. So, you need to manipulate your brain to change. It also expands your knowledge of something new even a new world that you have never tried. So, a new mindset can stimulate you to develop into a better human being.
Do Something Positive and Better
Without you knowing it, overthinking makes your life schedule chaotic. You need to rearrange your time to do any activity and must consistently do positive things. You can make time management for your needs either in ordinary notes or you can write on computer application programs, smartphones such as Note, Evernote, Microsoft Office, WPS Office and etc. If the plan is calculated in large numbers, you need to use Microsoft Excel calculations and similar applications. But, don't let that planning create new overthinking problems. If possible, make it simple and easy to understand for yourself.
So, here's the problem of overthinking that we have to solve. No problem is easy when it comes to humans and psychology. At least, humans can still have empathy for other humans.

Generations That Across History
When I was a toddler, I asked myself a lot of things about how to walk or how to talk and actually, there are many things I want to know. I think this world stands on its own because I think smart humans shape everything. Then, when I was a teenager to an adult, I was awakened by many things so that I can understand many things from school and from my parents.
There were many books on math, science and history that I studied. But, I'm more interested in science and history because math frustrates me and I feel weak. For science, I don't really like it technically but I like it historically where the innovators succeed in making changes. For example, figures such as **Thomas Alva Edison** who succeeded in inventing the light bulb, then **Galileo Galilei** an innovator who changed the transformation of communication and **Henry Ford** who managed to make a car for the first time in the world.
They were all influential figures who were initially considered stupid, crazy, deviant from religion and laughed at by people for their findings which were considered unrealistic at that time. Then, those people succeeded in changing the world, becoming the pioneers of world change that was recorded in history. We are awakened by history that deviating or making something unique from others is a not bad thing as long as someone does it according to the laws of logic, then takes responsibility and has evidence for their knowledge.
***So, what causes someone to know more about the science or principles of something than others?*** The answer is because they are the first to know and learn among others. There is no doubt for those who are willing to change and adapt. A matter of adaptation, world war I and II changed the face of the whole world to adapt to leaders and all weapons needed. It's not just about who is stronger but also a matter of who wins the innovation over weapons.
Countries with advanced technology are competing to innovate with sophisticated weapons, aircraft and battleships. Even today, they innovate with the creation of nuclear weapons. I'm sure something like that wasn't a sudden plan. But, they had thought about it year after year and passed generations far away. ***This is what I mean that generation can change history***. But, hard work is painful because you have to experiment for a long time. If the country or even yourself don't plan for innovation carefully, you will just be wasting your time without producing anything for the world.
Nowadays, the whole world is competing for anything. No matter what you do, whatever field you work in, you compete with various people and grab a position. If you offer something that is different and superior to others, you have something that could change the company because of your ways. If you are at the highest level at the company, your concept can be applied by the company for years. If you run your own business, you can apply the same thing.
So, in the same way as above, your principles and ideas will be used by people for years and you will be remembered as an influential person in your field. Then, ***you become a pioneer of a new generation that has quality***. I understand this isn’t easy but also nothing is impossible as long as we have the capital or skills that we needed. For example, today's world of technology and crypto is changing the way people live and even changing their financial size despite the ups and downs. So, you can do something to create history.

Fool Yourself With Self Reward
Almost every weekend, you want to have fun and rejuvenate yourself. Then, you want to try some foods and drinks that you don't often find, such as authentic Japanese food or the best Korean specialties or unique coffee from Italy and so on. Then, shop for clothes that are quite attractive to your eyes or travel to a cool place, feel the chill of the mountains and spend the night in a villa.
Everyone would want something like that when you have a lot of money to run or have a large salary that is paid every month or you have abundant investment assets where it is not affected by your financial condition. **But, this is a trap that you are not aware of**.
In fact, a billionaire who is the richest in the world does also spend his time having fun. But for them, assets are more important and more than just having fun. They believe that learning to invest in a particular asset is more fun than a hobby of spending money. Therefore, we also need to learn a lot from these billionaires and use money more wisely.
People out there have no fault in having fun, but most of them don't understand the wisdom of self-reward. I know that you are very tired and stressed when dealing with busy weekdays. I know that your boss often doesn't appreciate your work and I know that your coworkers are toxic enough to work with. But, you shouldn’t be careless in spending money.
You certainly don't want to get caught up in the deep culture of consumerism. **Unfortunately, most people can't resist the temptation that comes when they want to**. Let’s say when the weather is hot, you want to buy ice cream. Actually, you just need to buy 2 ice cream sticks. But, you end up buying 5 sticks of ice cream which you can't afford to spend the rest. Then, some people are also quite often stuck buying game items. In some cases, they are addicted to the game and get stuck in the repeated purchase of items. They actually know that the need for goods in the real world is more important than in the game world. But yeah, this is a fact that happened.
You may be able to avoid that. But, you will be isolated from your community of coworkers or neighbors because you don't follow their trends. Then, **how to end this stupidity?** a powerful way is you have to think more wisely.
**First**, you must use the salary as needed, such as separating several salaries for daily needs. Then, some are saved and invested. **Second**, make a strict financial policy for yourself or your own family. No matter how much you want, you must hold it for your future financial goals. You need to punish yourself for breaking your own rules (*sorry, if this sounds ridiculous*) or you can entrust your children or wife to keep them (this is only **if you believe** they are better money managers than you).
**Third**, you should look at the discounts and promos available to save money. There are many promos found when shopping at the mall or when you place a certain purchase order through an online shopping application where the promo is listed. But remember, if you spend more than what you need, it will be just as wasteful. **Fourth**, stay away from bad trends. This doesn't mean it can't be. You need to occasionally try as a self-reward for yourself, but don't overdo it. I understand that toxic friends will always force you to do what they want. So, you shouldn’t follow their wishes.
**Fifth**, always learn something new and useful. I'm not just talking about investing. But, you also need to learn new skills that are considered useful to advance your career or have good opportunities in the future. For example, let's say you are a back-end web programmer. To improve your skills, you need to learn blockchain technology where there are plenty of job opportunities with the right salary. It could even be bigger than you think. This means self-reward isn’t just about fun. But, **this is also useful for you to return as a skilled investment**.
So, this is why you should be wiser to self reward yourself. Here, I may not be a financial expert. I just wanted to explain my management of money which I think almost anyone can do it. So, you aren’t careless and wasteful in managing money. Thank you, I hope this is useful for everyone.
