“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
― Robert Frost

I full agree with Cicero on this one 🤞🏿

The first goodbye you are forced to say always hurts the most,
Then the more goodbyes life forces you to have, the easier it gets, you know well ahead the emotional toll it will take you, you know very well what you’ll feel after saying it, you’re ready for all the phases to come.

You become an expert that you will know when exactly you should say goodbye first before it’s said to you.

The first goodbye hurts the most, but then you understand life is a series of never ending goodbyes and it will be a nature of life and you won’t be afraid of it anymore.

Thank You So Much For Reading Through 🥰.

Here are 5 life lessons from Albert Einstein:

1. your curiosity. "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." Einstein's curiosity led him to some of the most important discoveries in physics. He was always asking questions and seeking new knowledge. If you want to live a fulfilling life, follow your curiosity and never stop learning.

2. is priceless. "It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer." Einstein was not a genius overnight. He worked hard and persevered through many challenges to achieve his goals. If you want to succeed in life, don't give up easily. Keep working hard and never give up on your dreams.

3. mistakes. "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." Einstein made many mistakes in his life, but he learned from them and grew as a person. If you want to live a meaningful life, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are a part of the learning process.

4. in the present moment. "I never think of the future – it comes soon enough." Einstein understood the importance of living in the present moment. He didn't worry about the past or the future, he just focused on the here and now. If you want to be happy, learn to live in the present moment and appreciate the little things in life.

5. value. "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." Einstein didn't just want to be successful, he wanted to make a difference in the world. He wanted to create something that would benefit humanity. If you want to live a fulfilling life, find something that you're passionate about and create value in the world.

These are just a few of the life lessons that we can learn from Albert Einstein. He was a brilliant scientist and a wise man, and his words can still inspire us today.

AN EYE OPENER STORY

One day a Son goes to his Father and says, Father what is the value of my Life?

And the Father gives him a stone and says; Son, If you want to know the value of your Life take this stone and go to the market and if anyone asks the price don't say a word and raise up two fingers.

So the Boy does as his Father says and goes to the market.
He wanders around and suddenly an old woman approaches him and says.

How much is this stone?

The Boy doesn't say a word just raises up two fingers and the old woman says: Two dollars? I'll take it!

The Boy is surprised and runs back to his Father and says Father there was an old woman at the market who wanted to give me two dollars for the stone the Father says: Son; the next place I want you to go is the museum and if anyone asks the price, don't say a word and raise up two fingers.

So the Son takes the stone and goes to the museum after about twenty minutes there is a middle aged Man who approach the Boy; He says ; Sir, How much is the stonr? The Boy doesn't say a word and raise up two fingers and the man says 200 dollars? I'll take it!

The Boy is surprised and runs home to his Father.

Father! Father! A man in the Museum wanted to buy the stone for 200 dollars okay Son the last place I want you to take the stone is a precious stone store walk inside with the stone and if anyone asks the price don't say a word just raise up two fingers.

So the Son runs off to the precious stone store.
After finding it, He walks inside and there is an old man at the counter and as the old Man sees the stone he jumps up and screams.

Oh my God you have the stone I have been looking for my whole life! What do you want for it, how much is it?
The Boy doesn't say a word and raises up two fingers and then the man says 200,000 dollars?

I'll take it! The Boy can't believe it, He jumps up and runs to his Father and said, Father! Father!

The old man in the precious stone store wanted to give me 200,000 dollars for the stone.

And his Father said:
You see Son, do you understand now the value of your Life?

Life is all about where you place yourself you can decide if you want to be a two-dollar stone or a 200,000 dollars stone.

There are some people who love you and for whom you are everything and some people will just use you as a commodity and for them you will be worth nothing.

So it is up to you my Son to decide the value of your Life.

neighbor’s lifestyle,
she earns well and her

man’

wear clean well-
ironed clothes and
keep your hair neat.
You would still look
good.

10. Keep your circle
small, keep only
friends that have
senses!

11. Above all things, have
the fear of God, have
integrity, don’t be lazy
and be prayerful.

12. Planning is the key, if
you fail to plan, you
plan to FAIL.

13. Don't do more than
your budget this
Time, there is no
award given to best
family that wore an
expensive cloth for
the year

How do you avoid last-minute stress in life?

Much of the stress in our lives can be avoided by being prepared and managing our time well. When we do so, not only do we become more efficient, but also more confident.

Most of us are in the habit of procrastinating our task or leaving it to the last minute. But sometimes, at the last minute, other things come up that require more attention, or we realise there is more to that task, or we find it hard to complete it within that timeframe.

Plan your task, allocate your time and stick to that schedule. Although you may not be able to avoid unexpected interruptions, by training your mind to work within the timelines, you can prevent your work from getting delayed and avoid unnecessary stress.

6 RULES OF LIFE💯

Here are six important rules of life that can help guide you towards a fulfilling and meaningful existence:

1. Be true to yourself: Embrace your authentic self and live in alignment with your values, passions, and beliefs. Don't try to be someone you're not or conform to societal expectations that don't resonate with you.

2. Practice gratitude: Cultivate a mindset of gratitude by appreciating the positive aspects of your life. Focus on what you have rather than what you lack, and express gratitude regularly. This can lead to increased happiness and contentment.

3. Embrace failure and learn from it: Failure is a natural part of life and an opportunity for growth. Instead of fearing failure, embrace it as a chance to learn, adapt, and improve. Use setbacks as stepping stones towards success.

4. Foster meaningful relationships: Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you. Nurture deep and meaningful connections with family, friends, and loved ones. Invest time and effort into building and maintaining these relationships.

5. Take care of your well-being: Prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Engage in regular exercise, eat nutritious food, get enough sleep, and practice self-care. Take time to relax, recharge, and engage in activities that bring you joy.

6. Pursue personal growth: Continuously seek opportunities for personal growth and development. Set goals, challenge yourself, and step out of your comfort zone. Whether it's learning new skills, pursuing education, or exploring new experiences, strive to become the best version of yourself.

Remember, these rules are not set in stone, and everyone's journey is unique. Adapt them to suit your own values and circumstances, and always stay open to learning and evolving along the way.

"The Road Not Taken" is one of Frost's most popular works. Yet, it is a frequently misunderstood poem, often read simply as a poem that champions the idea of "following your own path". Actually, it expresses some irony regarding such an idea. A critique in the Paris Review by David Orr described the misunderstanding this way:

"The poem's speaker tells us he "shall be telling", at some point in the future, of how he took the road less traveled … yet he has already admitted that the two paths "equally lay / In leaves" and "the passing there / Had worn them really about the same." So the road he will later call less traveled is actually the road equally traveled. The two roads are interchangeable."

Frost wrote the poem as a joke for his friend Edward Thomas, who was often indecisive about which route to take when the two went walking.
A New York Times book review on Brian Hall's 2008 biography Fall of Frost states: "Whichever way they go, they're sure to miss something good on the other path." Regarding the "sigh" that is mentioned in the last stanza, it may be seen as an expression of regret or of satisfaction. However, there is significance in the difference between what the speaker has just said of the two roads, and what he will say in the future. According to Lawrance Thompson, Frost's biographer, as Frost was once about to read the poem, he commented to his audience, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem—very tricky", perhaps intending to suggest the poem's ironic possibilities.

Thompson suggests that the poem's narrator is "one who habitually wastes energy in regretting any choice made: belatedly but wistfully he sighs over the attractive alternative rejected." Thompson also says that when introducing the poem in readings, Frost would say that the speaker was based on his friend Thomas. In Frost's words, Thomas was "a person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn't go the other. He was hard on himself that way."

10 PRINCIPLES FROM THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY by Morgan Housel

Introduction

That there are two topics that impact man, whether you are interested in them or not- health and money.

The writer believes that money isn’t guided by laws such as that of physics but by people’s behavior.

1. Luck and risk

Luck and risk are both the reality that every outcome in life is guided.

The world is too complex to allow 100% of your actions to dictate 100% of your outcomes.

He said that not all success is due to hard work, and not all poverty is due to laziness.

The trick when dealing with failure is arranging your financial life in a way that a bad investment here and a missed financial goal there won’t wipe you out so you can keep playing until the odds fall in your favor.

2. Never enough

There is no reason to risk what you have and need for what you don’t have and don’t need.

Wanting to surpass your peers can be the fuel of hard work. But life isn’t any fun without a sense of enough.

That reputation, freedom, family, friends, being loved and happiness are all valuable and my best shot at keeping these things is knowing when it’s time to stop taking risks that might harm them.

3. Confounding compounding

That Good investing isn’t necessarily about earning the highest returns, because the highest returns tend to be one-off hits that can’t be repeated.

It’s about earning pretty good returns that you can stick with and which can be repeated for the longest period of time. That’s when compounding runs wild.

4. Getting Wealthy vs. Staying Wealthy

Getting money requires taking risks, being optimistic, and putting yourself out there.

But keeping money requires the opposite of taking risk. It requires humility, and fear that what you’ve made can be taken away from you just as fast.

5. Freedom

Controlling your time is the highest dividend money pays.

6. More respect

It’s a subtle recognition that people generally aspire to be respected and admired by others, and using money to buy fancy things may bring less of it than you imagine. Humility, kindness, and empathy will bring you more respect than a car will ever will.

7. Wealth is what you don’t see

The only way to be wealthy is to not spend the money that you do have. It’s not just the only way to accumulate wealth; it’s the very definition of wealth

8. Save money

Building wealth has little to do with your income or investment returns, and lots to do with your savings rate.

That one of the most powerful ways to increase your savings isn’t to raise your income.
It’s to raise your humility.

9. You’ll change

At every stage of our lives we make decisions that will profoundly influence the lives of the people we’re going to become, and then when we become those people, we’re not always thrilled with the decisions we made.

Aiming, at every point in your working life,
to have moderate annual savings,
moderate free time,
no more than a moderate commute,
And at least moderate time with your family, increases the odds of being able to stick with a plan and avoid regret than if any one of those things fall to the extreme sides of the spectrum.

10. Nothing’s free

Everything has a price, and the key to a lot of things with money is just figuring out what that price is and being willing to pay it.

It is true that every job looks easy when you’re not the one doing it. Most things are harder in practice than they are in theory.
