• The Five Laws of Gold_Seeking Financial Breakthrough

    “To him who abides by the five laws, gold comes and works as his dutiful slave.”

    Laws Of Gold

    In the 1920s, George S. Clason published a number of pamphlets on the secrets of financial success. These pamphlets were later assembled as The Richest Man In Babylon.

    The pamphlets were written as narratives, the most famous of which was the story of Arkad.

    Arkad had become the richest man in Babylon by abiding by the five laws of gold.A powerful story in the book is that of Arkad’s grown son, Nomasir. Before Nomasir can inherit his father’s fortune, he ventures out into the world to learn how to build a fortune of his own.To get him started on his journey, Arkad gives Nomasir three bags of gold and a clay tablet engraved with “the five laws of gold.”

    Reminiscent of the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15: 11–32), Nomasir tries his hand in a number of ventures and nearly squanders everything. He eventually comes to himself (Luke 15: 17). He dedicates his life to the study of the five laws of gold that his father had given him upon the engraved tablet.

    Through skillful application of the five laws, Nomasir returns to Arkad years later having multiplied the gold with which he started.Upon arriving in his father’s house, Nomasir shares this powerful maxim:Without wisdom, gold is quickly lost by those who have it, but with wisdom, gold can be secured by those who have it not.Here are the five laws of gold that made the richest man in Babylon the richest man in Babylon.

    The Richest Man In Babylon

    The First Law of Gold

    Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.

    Interpretation: “Money comes to those who save.”

    Laws Of Gold

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki said that this first law embraces the concept of “paying yourself first.” And to pay yourself first, you need to exercise self-discipline.If you have never saved before, then it will likely take time to adjust to living on less than you make.One way you can save is through contributions to your employer’s retirement plan. The money is taken out of your paycheck and deposited into your retirement account(Social Security)before you ever see it or even have the chance to spend it.

    The Second Law of Gold

    Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.

    Interpretation: “Money multiplies for those who invest it.”

    Laws Of Gold

    I am reminded of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25: 14–30.

    As you may recall, a man has three servants: to one he gives five talents, to another two, and to the third servant he gives just one talent.The first two servants double their talents — from five to ten, and from two to four respectively. The third servant, however, had hid his one talent… He feared what might happen should he lose it.As expected, the master was well pleased with his servants who multiplied their talents, and was not with the servant who did not.The amount of talents didn’t matter… what mattered was finding “profitable employment” for the talents and multiplying them.

    Are you finding “profitable employment” for your “gold”?Are you multiplying what you have?

    The Third Law of Gold

    Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.

    Interpretation: “Money stays with the person who entrusts it to wise people.”

    Laws Of Gold

    Like politics and religion, it seems like everyone has an opinion when it comes to investing.Dave Ramsey teaches how to eliminate debt and then avoid it forevermore. He is a proponent of investing in mutual funds, 401(k)s, and Roth IRAs. According to Ramsey, these should be the foundation of your retirement savings.Robert Kiyosaki has taught millions of people the power of accumulating assets, especially real estate.

    Unlike Dave Ramsey, Kiyosaki does not recommend mutual funds, and he utilizes debt in the acquisition of his rental properties.

    Tony Robbins and Peter Mallouk took a deep-dive into the power of index funds in their book “Unshakeable.” The book offers fascinating insights on how fees in traditional mutual funds, the funds that Dave Ramsey recommends, deteriorate the funds’ growth potential over time.

    R. Nelson Nash in his fascinating book, Becoming Your Own Banker, shares how to cut lenders out of your life through the strategic use of whole life insurance policies. Dave Ramsey, on the other hand, does not recommend whole life insurance. Nash teaches how to avoid the stock market entirely — the ultimate way to eliminate risk.So who is right?Honestly, each of these individuals has enjoyed tremendous financial success following the strategies above.

    Thus, more important than the “what” of investing is the “how” of investing… Be cautious, do your homework, and find wise, financially savvy individuals who can help you succeed. Pick a strategy that resonates with you, and which you understand.If you don’t have the knowledge to invest successfully, then make an investment in someone who does. Paying a financial advisor will cost you, but future investing mistakes without an advisor will cost you even more.

    The Fourth Law of Gold

    Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.

    Interpretation: “Money is lost when invested in things with which you are not familiar.”

    Laws Of Gold

    You should never take such a risk with your money.Where is your “gold”?

    Are you invested in a 401(k) or an IRA? If so, do you understand what it will take to comfortably retire?There are a lot of ways to invest your money. But before you invest, make the time to understand what you are investing in.

    The Fifth Law of Gold

    Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.

    Interpretation: “Money is lost at a fast rate by pursuing get-rich-quick schemes.”

    Laws Of Gold

    Make Money Work for You

    To him who abides by the five laws, gold comes and works as his dutiful slave.The five laws aren’t easy but they are based on true principles that work.To me, the most exciting part about the five laws is not only the promise that “gold” will come, but that it will “work as [my] dutiful slave.”There are many reasons you might desire financial independence… For me, financial independence means freedom.Freedom to work on what I want, when I want, how I want.Getting wealthy may not cure every problem, but it sure can cure a lot of them. — Dean Graziosi

  • Breaking Through the Sky/Skyrocketing

    If you find that you are surrounded by dark clouds and wonder if you will ever break through, keep believing.

    I gazed out the window as we made our final descent. All I could see were clouds spread out in every direction — dark, dense, ominous clouds. I became slightly anxious as we cut through them, waiting to see the ground. Within minutes, I saw the first glimpse of where we were headed, and soon after, a full view of my hometown’s familiar terrain.That made me think of other occasions in my life when the clouds were so thick and I couldn’t see what was ahead of me. I was forced to trust that someone was guiding me through the darkness toward a safe place.Or, as Paul reminds us:

    For we live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

    by Karen Waller

    Soon-to-be parents travel through the clouds of uncertainty, waiting for the first glimpse of their child while knowing the pain and discomfort of pregnancy will be replaced with joy and gratitude.As their child grows, they navigate the sometimes dark clouds of parenthood — hoping and praying to do the right things, love, and nurture in the right way, and share the right wisdom and knowledge.Once their child reaches adolescence, a new cluster of clouds appear. At times, it seems, the child has drifted off into the darkness of another realm. All they can do is pray, try to be patient, and have faith that this, too, will pass.As children become adults, they, like their parents, will inevitably experience times of trouble and distress, trials, pain, disappointments, and loss.

    There will be times when these challenges seem too difficult. We(parents )become engulfed in the clouds, the darkness overtakes us, and brokenness consumes as we hurt them(children).

    by a Caring Parent

    The only thing that can sustain us during these times is faith.

    The only thing that can sustain us during these times is faith. We know and trust the One who is piloting our course. We know we will break through the clouds and land safely on familiar terrain once again.

    If you find that you are surrounded by dark clouds and wonder if you will ever break through, keep believing. Keep trusting.

    Should you get anxious or have doubts, maybe this short prayer will help: “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground (Psalm 143:10)”.

  • Taking Care of Your Teeth and Mouth

    Healthy teeth and gums make it easy for you to eat well and enjoy good food. Several problems can affect the health of your mouth, but good care should keep your teeth and gums strong as you age.

    Tooth Decay

    Teeth are covered in a hard, outer coating called enamel. Every day, a thin film of bacteria called dental plaque builds up on your teeth. The bacteria in plaque produce acids that can harm enamel and cause cavities. Brushing and flossing your teeth can prevent decay, but once a cavity forms, to avoid further damage, a dentist must fix it with a filling.Use fluoride toothpaste to protect your teeth from decay. If you are at a higher risk for tooth decay (for example, if you have a dry mouth because of a condition you have or medicines you take), you might need more fluoride. Your dentist or dental hygienist may give you a fluoride treatment during an office visit or may tell you to use a fluoride gel or mouth rinse at home.Gum DiseaseGum disease begins when plaque builds up along and under your gum line. Plaque causes an infection that hurts the gum and bone that hold your teeth in place. A mild form of gum disease may make your gums red, tender, and more likely to bleed. This problem, called gingivitis, can often be fixed by brushing and flossing every day.A more severe form of gum disease, called periodontitis, must be treated by a dentist. If not treated, this infection can lead to sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss.

    To prevent gum disease:

    • Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
    • Floss regularly.
    • Visit your dentist routinely for a checkup and cleaning.
    • Tell the dentist about any medical conditions you have and medications you take.
    • Eat a well-balanced diet.
    • Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for gum disease.

    How to Clean Your Teeth and Gums

    There is a right way to brush and floss your teeth. Every day:

    • Gently brush your teeth on all sides with a soft-bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste.
    • Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months.
    • Use small circular motions and short back-and-forth strokes.
    • Brush carefully and gently along your gum line.Lightly brush your tongue or use a tongue scraper to help keep your mouth clean.
    • Clean between your teeth with dental floss, prethreaded flossers, a water flosser, or a similar product. This removes plaque and leftover food that a toothbrush can’t reach.
    • Rinse after you floss.

    People with arthritis or other conditions that limit hand motion may find it hard to hold and use a toothbrush. Some helpful tips are:Use an electric or battery-operated toothbrush.Buy a toothbrush with a larger handle.Attach the toothbrush handle to your hand with a wide elastic band.

    See your dentist if brushing or flossing causes your gums to bleed or hurts your mouth. If you have trouble flossing, a floss holder may help. Ask your dentist to show you the right way to floss.

    Dentures

    Sometimes, false teeth (dentures) are needed to replace badly damaged teeth or teeth lost because of gum disease. Partial dentures may be used to fill in one or more missing teeth.

    Dentures may feel strange at first. In the beginning, your dentist may want to see you often to make sure the dentures fit. Over time, your gums will change shape, and your dentures may need to be adjusted or replaced. Be sure to let your dentist handle these adjustments.Be careful when wearing dentures because it may be harder for you to feel hot foods and drinks or notice bones in your food.

    When learning to eat with dentures, it may be easier if you:

    • Start with soft, non-sticky food.
    • Cut your food into small pieces.
    • Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth.
    • Keep your dentures clean and free from food that can cause stains or bad breath.
    • Avoid small crunchy foods that can get trapped under the dentures and hurt your gums.
    • Brush dentures every day with a denture-care product, and soak them in water or a denture-cleansing liquid at night.
    • Be sure to leave them out of your mouth while you sleep to prevent swollen gums.

    Dry Mouth

    Dry mouth happens when you don’t have enough saliva, or spit, to keep your mouth wet. It can make it hard to eat, swallow, taste, and even speak. Dry mouth can increase your risk of tooth decay, fungal infections of the mouth, and cavities. Many common medicines can cause this problem. For example, medicines for high blood pressure, depression, and bladder-control issues often cause dry mouth.

    There are things you can do that may help.

    • Try sipping water or sugarless drinks.
    • Don’t smoke, and avoid alcohol, caffeine, soft drinks, and acidic fruit juices.
    • Avoid spicy or salty foods. Sugarless hard candy or sugarless gum that is a little tart may help. Your dentist or doctor might suggest using artificial saliva to keep your mouth wet.

    Oral Cancer

    Oral cancer can start in any part of the mouth or throat, including the tongue. It is more likely to happen in people over age 40. A dental checkup is a good time for your dentist to look for signs of oral cancer. Pain is not usually an early symptom of the disease. Treatment works best before the disease spreads. Even if you have lost all your natural teeth, you should still see your dentist for regular oral cancer exams.

    You can lower your risk of getting oral cancer in a few ways:

    • Do not use tobacco products, such as cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, pipes, or cigars.
    • If you drink alcohol, do so only in moderation.
    • Use lip balm with sunscreen.
    • Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are relatively new, and scientists are still learning about their long-term health effects. However, we do know e-cigarette vapor contains cancer-causing chemicals.
    • Finding Low-Cost Dental CareDental care can be costly. Medicare does not cover routine dental care. Make sure you are aware of the cost and what services are covered.
  • YOU INTO MUSIC?_7 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR SINGING VOICE HEALTHY

    If you are a singer—whether in a choir or in a rock band, onstage or in the shower—you should know how to keep your singing voice healthy. After all, the state of your vocal health can either make or break your performance. Thankfully, vocal health for singers isn’t all that complicated. Some common sense and a little insider knowledge on vocal-health tips will do the trick, so you can sing your heart out.

    WHAT ARE VOCAL CORDS?

    Vocal cords, also called vocal folds, are two triangular bands of tissue that sit at the top of your windpipe. They’re open while you’re breathing, and when you speak or sing, they close, pulling tighter for higher notes, remaining loose for lower notes. You want your vocal cords soft, smooth, flexible and free of inflammation.

    CAN YOU DAMAGE YOUR VOCAL CORDS?

    Allergies, smoke (first- and secondhand), tension, overuse, and abuse (like screaming) are all potentially damaging to your voice. Irritated or inflamed vocal cords won’t close efficiently, preventing you from hitting the higher notes in your range and producing a rougher, more breathy sound no matter what note you’re singing.You might like a breathy sound, and that’s great, but that should be your choice. Keep your voice flexible and healthy, and you’ll be able to sing in whatever style you choose.

    WHY HEALTHY VOCAL CORDS ARE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SINGING

    As a singer, your vocal cords are your instrument. You’d never paddle a canoe with a cello or use a flute to hit a golf ball. Likewise, you should never abuse your voice. Healthy vocal cords will allow you to exercise your full range and produce a full, pure, tuneful sound. And even if you’re more Iron Maiden than Iolanthe, if you want a career as a singer, your vocal health should be your number one priority.

    7 TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR SINGING VOICE HEALTHY

    Here are seven suggestions for ways to maintain health for singers.

    1. WARM-UP—AND COOL DOWN

    It is vital that you warm up your voice before singing, and there are a variety of exercises to suit all ages, vocal ranges, and levels of experience. Always ease into your exercises by first warming up your facial muscles—loosen your lips and jaw muscles by blowing through your lips, sticking out your tongue as far as it will go, massaging your face, and sighing musically.Don’t be afraid to make some noise as your warm-up. Let your voice wander up and down its range. Then move on to humming, or perhaps do some gentle lip rolls or tongue trills. Only once you feel like your face, mouth, and voice are loosening should you start singing actual notes. The whole process should take between 10 and 20 minutes (and don’t skimp.).After your lesson, audition or performance is over, take time to cool down. While cooling down is often omitted from lists of vocal-health tips, it’s a really simple way to support vocal health for singers. Sigh on a descending note. Yawn, raising your soft palate and releasing any built-up tension. Do some gentle lip rolls, again allowing your voice to gently descend. Take 5 or 10 minutes to allow your voice to settle back into its normal speaking range.

    2. HYDRATE YOUR VOICE

    If you’re wondering what to drink to sing better, the answer is simple: water. Water is one of the best drinks for your singing voice, with herbal teas (but not too hot) in second place. Drink water throughout the day, and keep a water bottle nearby during lessons and rehearsals. And don’t think that a swig or two of water while you’re warming up is enough. Your vocal folds work best when they’re well lubricated, and that means keeping your entire body hydrated.

    There’s no way to directly moisten dry vocal cords. Nothing you drink or spray or dissolve in your mouth passes directly over your vocal folds. Your larynx is separate from your esophagus (and it’s a good thing too, or we’d always be choking). But dry vocal cords quickly become irritated vocal cords, and that’s how you harm your voice. The more water you drink, the better your voice will be.

    3. HUMIDIFY YOUR HOME

    A better question than what to drink to sing better is what to breathe to sing better. Although nothing you drink can directly moisturize your vocal cords, you can give your voice a boost by breathing properly humidified air. Overly dry air is very taxing on your breathing and your voice.Consider humidifying your home, especiallyq when you’re working on a particular production or if you’re doing a series of concerts. Using a humidifier can support your respiratory health while also preventing dry vocal cords.

    4. TAKE VOCAL NAPS

    If you work out, you know how important rest days are. A tired voice, just like a tired body, is more prone to injury. If you’re sick, if your allergies are flaring up, or even if you’ve just been working your voice a lot (like in rehearsal or when you’re preparing for an audition), take time to rest your voice.

    That means no talking, no singing, and definitely no whispering, which is terrible for your vocal cords. A tired voice needs time to regenerate, so the longer you rest it, the better. Vocal rest gives your delicate vocal folds time to recuperate and heal.

    5. AVOID HARMFUL SUBSTANCES

    Smoking (or vaping) anything is absolutely the best and quickest way to permanently ruin your voice. Don’t do it. When you inhale smoke, you’re essentially bathing your vocal cords in toxins. Everything you breathe in—every pollutant, every speck of pollen, every particle of dust—passes right over your vocal cords, drying them out and irritating them.Alcohol might not have such an immediately damaging effect, but it is dehydrating and inflammatory. And the high sugar content of most mixers is also bad for your voice. If your vocal health is important to you, revisit tip #2 for suggestions on what to drink to sing better.

    6. DON’T SING FROM YOUR THROAT

    Despite all this talk about healthy vocal cords, your vocal folds are only one part of a complex system that produces your singing voice. To sing well and maintain your vocal health, you need to understand your body and know where your voice is coming from. You should never sing from your throat—the power behind your voice is your breath, and your breath should be supported by your diaphragm. Sing from your core, allow your vocal cords to relax, and let your voice resonate in your chest, pharynx, and face.Don’t worry if this doesn’t immediately make sense to you. It takes time to train your body to support your voice, though you can speed up the process by working with a vocal coach.

    7. DON’T SING IF IT HURTS

    We feel pain for one simple reason—it’s our body’s way of telling us to STOP. If your throat hurts, if you have an infection of any kind, or if you’ve strained your voice through overuse, don’t sing. Put yourself on vocal rest. Drink a lot of water. Get some extra sleep. Take care of yourself and your tired voice. But most importantly, do not push through the pain. You can seriously damage your voice by singing when your voice is strained or your throat is hurting.

    12. Edge Computing

    Formerly a new technology trend to watch, cloud computing has become mainstream, with major players AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform dominating the market. The adoption of cloud computing is still growing, as more and more businesses migrate to a cloud solution. But it’s no longer the emerging technology trend. Edge is.As the quantity of data organizations is dealing with continues to increase, they have realized the shortcomings of cloud computing in some situations. Edge computing is designed to help solve some of those problems as a way to bypass the latency caused by cloud computing and getting data to a data center for processing. It can exist “on the edge,” if you will, closer to where computing needs to happen. For this reason, edge computing can be used to process time-sensitive data in remote locations with limited or no connectivity to a centralized location. In those situations, edge computing can act like mini datacenters.Keeping in line with cloud computing (including new-age edge and quantum computing) will help you grab amazing jobs like:

Another field where quantum computing is finding applications is banking and finance, to manage credit risk, for high-frequency trading and fraud detection.Quantum computers are now a multitude times faster than regular computers and huge brands like Splunk, Honeywell, Microsoft, AWS, Google and many others are now involved in making innovations in the field of Quantum Computing. The revenues for the global quantum computing market are projected to surpass $2.5 billion by 2029. And to make a mark in this new trending technology, you need to have experience with quantum mechanics, linear algebra, probability, information theory, and machine learning.

    14. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

    The next exceptional technology trend – Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), and Extended Reality (ER). VR immerses the user in an environment while AR enhances their environment. Although this technology trend has primarily been used for gaming thus far, it has also been used for training, as with VirtualShip, a simulation software used to train U.S. Navy, Army and Coast Guard ship captains.In 2024, we can expect these forms of technologies being further integrated into our lives. Usually working in tandem with some of the other emerging technologies we’ve mentioned in this list, AR and VR have enormous potential in training, entertainment, education, marketing, and even rehabilitation after an injury. Either could be used to train doctors to do surgery, offer museum goers a deeper experience, enhance theme parks, or even enhance marketing, as with this Pepsi Max bus shelter.While some employers might look for optics as a skill-set, note that getting started in VR doesn’t require a lot of specialized knowledge – basic programming skills and a forward-thinking mindset can land a job; another reason why this new technology trend should make up to your list of lookouts!

    15. Blockchain

    Although most people think of blockchain technology in relation to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, blockchain offers security that is useful in many other ways. In simplest terms, blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from, or change. Hence the term “chain” because you’re making a chain of data. Not being able to change the previous blocks is what makes it so secure. In addition, blockchains are consensus-driven, so no one entity can take control of the data. With blockchain, you don’t need a trusted third party to oversee or validate transactions.Several industries are involving and implementing blockchain, and as blockchain technology’s use increases, so does the demand for skilled professionals. From a birds eye view, a blockchain developer specializes in developing and implementing architecture and solutions using blockchain technology. If you are intrigued by Blockchain and its applications and want to make your career in this trending technology, then this is the right time to start. To get into Blockchain, you need hands-on experience in programming languages, OOPS fundamentals, flat and relational databases, data structures, web app development, and networking. Mastering blockchain can help you scale up in a variety of fields and industries:

    Risk Analyst

    Tech Architect

    Crypto Community Manager

    Front End Engineer

    16. Internet of Things (IoT)

    Another promising new technology trend is IoT. Many “things” are now being built with WiFi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet—and to each other. Hence, the Internet of Things, or IoT. The Internet of Things is the future, and has already enabled devices, home appliances, cars and much more to be connected to and exchange data over the Internet.As consumers, we’re already using and benefitting from IoT. We can lock our doors remotely if we forget to when we leave for work and preheat our ovens on our way home from work, all while tracking our fitness on our Fitbits. However, businesses also have much to gain now and in the near future. The IoT can enable better safety, efficiency and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analyzed. It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet.And we’re only in the beginning stages of this new technology trend: Forecasts suggest that by 2030 around 50 billion of these IoT devices will be in use around the world, creating a massive web of interconnected devices spanning everything from smartphones to kitchen appliances. And if you wish to step foot in this trending technology, you will have to learn about Information security, AI and machine learning fundamentals, networking, hardware interfacing, data analytics, automation, understanding of embedded systems, and must have device and design knowledge.

    17. 5G

    The next technology trend that follows the IoT is 5G. Where 3G and 4G technologies have enabled us to browse the internet, use data-driven services, increased bandwidths for streaming on Spotify or YouTube and so much more, 5G services are expected to revolutionize our lives. By enabling services that rely on advanced technologies like AR and VR, alongside cloud-based gaming services like Google Stadia, NVidia GeForce Now and much more.
