Once a man, twice a child!
August 22, 2023, 08:16:07 AM
We all wish life was easier, but it's not so we've got to make do with what we have.
We've a local parlance for this where I come from. They say, "If it's easy, it becomes child's play." That captures the whole essence of man's continual struggle pursuing his goals and aspirations. For those who don't like taking a break to relax and chill, and then enjoy what they're labouring for, they find that break in death. It's a sad commentary but then that's the reality of life.

One reason why people miss direction in life is competition.
Actually, competition is good. That's what man lives for, whether we admit it or not. Remove competition in life, we won't have much to live for. What's not good is unnecessary competition. It's the same thing that happens with ambition. To be ambitious is okay, but to be vaulting ambitious is wrong.

People whining about ranks and merits? Classic. Everyone desires the reward, but few are willing to put out the effort

It's vital to keep in mind that not everyone is cut out for it, even while I welcome your comment about growth and learning; and believe me, I know about growth, especially when it comes to the advent of bitcoin. Growth does take time and work, but some individuals just want it to be quick and simple. How shall I put it? That's just how the beast is. Maybe people should concentrate on something that actually matters rather than playing merit politics. like, say, adding something truly worthwhile to the forum?
Kinda gives me the 2018 vibes when merit system was implemented. There were tons of merit fishing users posting and almost recycling any sorts existing quality posts that were already recycled by others gazillion times.

Everyone would just do the laziest way just to benefit the crap out from it. I don't really mind if I get stuck bounded in this rank I already have. I just wanna hangout with other chill users in here. Sure I wear sigs to earn, but that's just the side icing of the cake.

I keep seeing forum members make complaints about not getting merits and all. It will be very hypocritical of me to say we shouldn't care about merit and ranking up, but your desire to rank up should lead you in the right direction.
The goal is to learn and grow, then make meaningful contributions that can grow other forum members. It's not going to be easy, and it will take time, but it will be worth it in the end.


Yes, the goal should be to learn more and grow in knowledge so we could also impact meaningful contributions to both new and existing members. But we all have our individual goals and aspirations when registering on here and that’s why we see people on here more focused on the rank on their profiles than the knowledge we all stand to gain.
About members making complaints about not getting the merits they feel they deserve. Needless to say, some members are more eager about getting merits than they are about learning anything.
Admittedly, we all seek and desire to grow in our personal lives and elsewhere but growth requires time and lots of effort. Time and effort some

For the business aspect sometimes it can be very difficult to make a profits that will make you feel happy because not opening a business is the major things, we can have a good products but based on the environment the business is the products won't sell and again sometime life can be hard for just one particular reasons and these reason is very difficult to know maybe I will say that's how life was programmed to be, we can't define the real tomorrow but we can predict tomorrow that's why the tomorrow we predicted might end up turning negative to us just like the way we all predicts the price of a bitcoin.
The real things is business can't be successful all the times, in some environments things are getting hard and businesses aren't going well like before but that doesn't mean that the product is not a good one sometimes you can be selling a good product in your company but based on the locality the company is the situation of the country will manipulate the company and things will no longer goes well.
That's a good point, as they say, when you are not valued, it doesn't mean you are worthless but it means that the place where you are doesn't deserve you. Similarly, if you are running a business and you see that your business isn't actually going well when you know what you are doing is not a bad business in itself, in that situation, you need to understand that you will certainly need to change your location if you have confidence on the product you are selling.

Sometimes, maybe the product you are trying to sell is good but it isn't suitable for that specific location, you might want to try and add some more products after doing some research and observations of the location and the locals so that you can offer them what they actually look for.

If your first encounter with crypto was a scam altcoin, it doesn't mean you should wash your hand off of crypto. If you're still interested in it, learn from that bad situation and gain more experience from it.

If you previously made an investment in Bitcoin and you lost, it doesn't mean you should give up on Bitcoin; learn from it and re-evaluate your decision.



Even if you're good at analysis, there will be a point when you will face losses it depends on how much more you have to keep up, some will be frustrated and just give up, and some will take it slow but continue to move on, because of the very high volatility there is no such thing as a perfect investor, we all have our share of ups and downs its the achievement of others are what will aspire us to move on.
He learned our lessons from others who made it they are an example of keeping your focus on your goal.

Life is just easy but we make it hard because we already overthink that success comes too fast which is why we worked hard, we wanted to make it happen right away and so we stressed our minds. But if we just let it comes to us without chasing it to happen instantly, I was sure that we're still good and healthy.

But this is really what we are, we consider life is a sort of competition like business and we need to be on top among others in order to become famous. It was too hard to change the way we see life and so we can see that everyone is aggressive to move forward and do everything just to reach their goal.

Basically "it is what it is"

Problems will come and go, some problems are definitely going to be more detrimental and massively deteriorating, loss of a loved one for example. Same could be said for business, trading, and creating a name for yourself. Roadblocks will come up and it's all about weighing your decisions, sometimes between passion and practicality. It's all about getting back up after every time you fall down. I've had friends who literally came up from nothing, got everything, lost everything later on, and continued with their stuff until they regained such lost funds. It's legendary to behold. I feel like I'm getting off on a tangent here but perhaps I'm just doubling down on the fact that life isn't here to just be enjoyed. It's to be experienced.

We are often faced with unforeseen challenges and situations, and how we respond to them can determine our success or failure. Working hard and making informed decisions is important, but the reality is that sometimes luck also plays a role.

trial and error is an important part of the journey, and learning from mistakes and failures is how we grow and become stronger. The important thing is to never give up and always give your best. Life really has no perfect path, but the important thing is that we always try, learn and develop ourselves to face any situation.
Life is definitely uncertain. Sometimes we get lucky and win some challenges, but at some point we get lost and makes life even harder. That’s the reality in life, either we don’t fight and just quit, but we know that will never be the answer. Know that in every failure and obstacle, there’s always a solution to that. Remember that if you want to change your life’s situation and instead find a successful path, you should put all your efforts and hardwork in everything you do, otherwise you’ll keep on beating around the bush and still nothing happens. Life is what you make it, it’s not a matter of chance but it’s always a matter of choice.

Well indeed happiness is when satisfactions are met but question is, when would you be satisfied? Therefore, it is a normal drive for use to desire more and consequently as long as we are seeking or asking for more, that is where we would feel the struggles or that life is hard. On my end, I'd prefer experiencing this feeling simply because it means I am doing something in order to earn or for situations to be better. We have to acfept the fact that struggles aand hardships are necessary. What's not is to end up struggling in an unending manner because that would simply mean you are doing something wrong which is why problems are still there.

Struggle and effort are a good way of satisfying life but I just want to say that no body is happy with his life because everyone is in Struggle to have more money and in such struggles they have lost their happy life with minimum amount of income.

If nobody is happy with life then we could have seen suicides everywhere.  It isn't the struggle and effort that is good in satisfying life, it is the entertainment and reward after hard work and struggles that is satisfying life.  Like after a long day hardwork, coming home to see your kids and love ones with a smile on their face ease out all the burdens of the day's hardwork.  Buying something to reward oneself keep the motivation up because there is a goal why we are doing these struggles and hardworks.

If you are choosing any thing in which you become successful so remember that lazy people can't achieve what they want but those who struggles more will become experienced one day which describes the fact that those who worked hard and struggle more will be easily earned and every field will become profitable for him.

Those that do not give up halfway are the ones who are successful.  Many people struggle in life but end up giving up midway and changing focus.  Those who work smart do not struggle but instead enjoy the work with ease.  Life is not all brawn, most of the time we need to use our heads in order to lighten the load and make it easier for us to overcome hurdles to be able to achieve success in life.

Nothing in life comes easy, that happens in dreams. I agree with the OP that whenever we start the upward movement some problems will crop up, these can be managed. The problem is that some people walk away and don't want to work hard on their career, life choices and merits for that matter.

Well I think people can change though, and they may start having better work habits gradually. Hence try to encourage any person whom we across with a easy going lazy attitude.

It is a good thing to be flexible about life. You never know when a curveball gets raised.
Life can be challenging sometimes, and some things are not meant to be easy, that's for sure. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs that sometimes seem impossible to overcome. But the key is to keep pushing forward, one step at a time. It's important to remember that our challenges are an opportunity to grow and learn. And while it may not feel like it at the moment, overcoming those challenges can be incredibly rewarding. So don't give up when things get tough, keep fighting, keep moving forward, and you'll come out stronger carrying those solid life experiences.

There are things that are easy to do, is to dream, fantasize and blame other parties for one's own incompetence.
We agree that when moving for the better there must be obstacles and problems that pounce on us, as if the world is not on our side which makes it a failure in the process of becoming better than our previous versions, as well as in terms of economic life, popularity, achievements and glory that we carry out the process.
People change if their minds and hearts are open, which makes them willing to move to improve themselves, evaluate and keep learning without stopping.

It is there that a businessman must have a dynamic soul towards market situations and conditions, which makes him more anticipatory. This is commonplace in any country, but depending on whether you play in the business world, you also have to run the political map to achieve more glory, business does not depend on the quality of goods or anything with the condition of goods, companies that will die quickly are those who do not adjustments to the times and market demand, and the side of the plan you should not depend on one strategy.

One reason why people miss direction in life is competition. People don't understand that everyone is unique so they want to be like someone else. Some people are talented in sports but they choose to become businessmen because they want to be like another person. The same thing also happens in business when some people choose to go into areas they do not know about because they think that others are making more profit from the business area. Success requires focus and determination. To achieve success we need to be persistently diligent until we attain our goals.

The life of everyone will be easy if they become thankful for what they have because its reality that there is no body who achieved every desire in life. Some people thinks that other is happy because they have lots of money but they don't know that having lots of money does not magnify your happiness.

We should not always follow others but should make our lives as everyone desires to have life like this. Same thing people do with trading as they don't know anything but follow others because they become rich due to trading but one thing is important here that success is for those who are talented in that field. May be you are not good in trading but good in business so always select that field in which you are knowledgeable and you have command on that things so you will be successful.
Well indeed happiness is when satisfactions are met but question is, when would you be satisfied? Therefore, it is a normal drive for use to desire more and consequently as long as we are seeking or asking for more, that is where we would feel the struggles or that life is hard.

We have to accept the fact that struggles and hardships are necessary. What's not is to end up struggling in an unending manner because that would simply mean you are doing something wrong which is why problems are still there.
I now always envy those who are always contented with what they have or what they have accomplished, I was like this years back until something changed within me, I feel like I am not trying enough and the result is not getting satisfied no matter what I do.

This is why I believe that nothing comes for free in this world we are living in, there is always something to pay for when you engage in everything, the more we seek the more we will remain unsatisfied.

Now I can't even go back to the way I used to be, my happiness was unlimited, and I hardly had a frown face, always happy, but as I grew up into a man I went cold, now that I have something going on in my life I don't want to stop and it's scary whenever I think about it.

We all wish life was easier, but it's not so we've got to make do with what we have.

The degree you want, the career you want, and the business you dream to have won't come easy. I'm of the notion that life doesn't want you to succeed. If you run away from every obstacle then you will never achieve your goal.

I keep seeing forum members make complaints about not getting merits and all. It will be very hypocritical of me to say we shouldn't care about merit and ranking up, but your desire to rank up should lead you in the right direction.
The goal is to learn and grow, then make meaningful contributions that can grow other forum members. It's not going to be easy, and it will take time, but it will be worth it in the end.

This doesn't only apply to the forum but to every aspect of life.
Take a business for example.
The goal of a business is to make a profit but you can't make a profit if certain things are not done right. If you just pursue profit without thinking about other factors, your business will fail.
If your product/service is top-notch, your marketing, packaging, and distribution are done right along with other factors, you will make a profit.
The same thing applies to every aspect of life. A degree, career, or anything at all.

Life itself is a journey of different paths and each person with their pathway in which you have to workout yourself along the way to be distinguished amidst those among you all that started in the journey. Every qualitative effort you put on the way has a consequence on your growth, less effort less growth much effort more growth.

Same way life applies in the forum too, every member is focusing on giving value, and the more your value the more you're recognize and rewarded (merited) by the worthiness of the value you give. And one such way to improve on your value in the forum is for you to learn relearn and creating a mentality of continuous learning only by so can anyone improve in their value and quality leading to their growth.  Generally in life if things are gotten easily and seamlessly, need will not be to strive for improvement.

Learning is equivalent to improvement. No matter what your journey of learning is, may it be full of hurdles and struggles or full of success along the way, still the endgame is you will be able to learn something. What to keep on doing and what not to do. Hence, learning is improvement in a way that you put what you learn to action.

Well, there are levels to struggling and with that in mind, you can say some people arrbt struggling. They just put in efforts to maintain the level they've attained and that's far from anything struggling.

When we talk about struggling, we are looking at those who are having a hard time to get daily meals, hard time to maintain there wealth, pay taxes and the rest of the expenses to a comfortable living.
I don't really consider those who have got a set up to there survival to be struggling. In most scenarios they've got people doing almost all there thinking and management for them. Although you've got people to manage and that's apparently the most difficult thing to do.

I once read a very good idea in a book, it was that everyone wants to have a home, a family and a good job, and just like everyone would like to have a million dollars, but few are willing to sacrifice their time andmaybe even family, to reach that million.

We always have to make a choice, in order to achieve something, it will be necessary to sacrifice something, and here it is worth considering whether it is worth it. Therefore, it is so important to maintain balance in everything and maybe if you already have a house, family and prosperity, then you already own something more valuable than what we can strive for.
