what we do in this life, echoes through eternity

Don’t just read this book.
Don’t just take notes.
Don’t just study them.
Don’t just plan.
Don’t just talk.
Don’t just think.
Don’t just dream.
No. None of that matters.
The only thing that matters is what you actually do.
So, DO

It's far easier in chess to achieve a winning game than to go on and win it. One bad move nullifies 40 good ones, and precision is of the essence even when the game is well in hand.

Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the course of your life can be enormous. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent.

Amazon QLDB is a new class of database that eliminates the need to engage in the complex development effort of building your own ledger-like applications. With Amazon's QLDB, your data’s change history is immutable – it cannot be altered or deleted – and using cryptography, you can easily verify that there have been no unintended modifications to your application’s data. QLDB uses an immutable transactional log, known as a journal, that tracks each application data change and maintains a complete and verifiable history of changes over time. QLDB is easy to use because it provides developers with a familiar SQL-like API, a flexible document data model, and full support for transactions. QLDB is also serverless, so it automatically scales to support the demands of your application. There are no servers to manage and no read or write limits to configure. With QLDB, you only pay for what you use.

The act of tokenizing assets can:
- Increase speed of transactions (15 seconds is the average on the ethereum network)
- Reduce the number of intermediaries (peer to peer or through DEX)
- Enhance security (users/custodians hold their own assets via private keys)
- Add usability (24/7 transactions, anytime, anywhere)
- Improve Transparency (all transactions are recorded on a public ledger)

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of the people
Who will not buy Factom again!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond this exchange
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be green!

Speaking and writing, clearly, correctly, both with ease and with grace, are certainly to be acquired, by reading the best authors with care, and by paying close attention to the living models they share.

Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon

"Neil A"

Neil A spelled backwards? "A lieN"

The moon landing is a hoax.

The hard reality is, that how much money we accumulate in life is not a function of who's president, the state of the economy, bubbles bursting, bad breaks or tough bosses.
It's about your work ethic.
It's about bucking the media's opinion as to what constitutes a good parent.
Deciding to miss that ball game, the play, the concert, because you've resolved to work and invest in your own family's future.
And to take responsibility for the consequences of those actions.
Patience.
Frugality.
Sacrifice.
When you boil it down, what do those three things have in common? - They are choices.
Money is not peace of mind.
Money is not happiness.
Money is, at its essence, the measure of a man's character.

The U.S. dollar is backed by: 1) a (relatively) strong government 2) a compliant tax-paying population 3) a respected and influential central bank 4) insurance on assets denominated in dollars 5) control over global shipping lanes; and 6) a powerful military that could, if necessary, enforce shipping lane compliance. The euro on the other hand is backed by... well, almost none of those things. Whether a currency is state-sponsored or not, trust is the key  (and maybe the only) feature  that ultimately determines it’s intrinsic value and ongoing viability. Besos a Maidana

Elastos is an intranet within the internet, with its own operating system that routes all of its traffic. Allowing for infinite dapp scalability, more security than anything we've seen before and for the first time scarce and monetizeable data that can be transferred between users, peer to peer, just like all other types of barter. This is next level stuff, and this baby is just getting started.

Give a man charity, and not only will he not thank you for it, he will resent you for patronizing.

What the casual fans don't realize is that Khabib's 26-0 record is completely fabricated. His first 16 opponents were all Eastern European nobodies that he fought back in Ukraine and Russia. And he has only beaten ONE former UFC champion that being Dos Anjos. He didn't even defeat a champion to become the champion... he won his belt beating the number 10 ranked fighter who was a part-time real estate agent, it's a joke. Meanwhile Conor has defeated 3 ufc champs. Jose Aldo, Eddie Alvarez and Max Holloway. Conor actually has one of the most impressive resumes on the entire ufc roster... Try to name ONE OTHER FIGHTER IN THE UFC WHO HAS BEATEN ALL THREE OF THOSE GUYS... You can't... Conor with a first round KO.

If you don’t know what Elastos is by now, you should probably just give up, drive your beat-up Honda back home, make mediocre love to your mediocre wife for one last time, and neck yourself ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

If you've ever asked yourself "I don't know how to start improving my life", you're not aiming low enough.

Shilling to anyone IRL is never worth it.
If it goes to ♥♥♥♥, they blame you. If it goes interstellar, they take the credit and will probably say you just got lucky.

Shorting in the 6ks is a degenerate's game.

In the end… We only regret the chances we did not take.

Rong Chen is our Odysseus. The internet of the past is our Trojan War — and the creation of Elastos is our journey home.

There are zero fees. There is no charge per UUID/DID. All smart contracts using sidechains and friendchains are free of charge. All dapps built or ported onto Elastos don’t get charged. Everything’s free, except websites. I always thought Ela would charge something for each uuid/did, even 1 cent over billions of entities would add up to a lot. Elastos will be the hugest, but’s it’s free. Only mining and relay nodes create Ela, but there is no mechanism/reason for the price to increase except fomo.

could I afford it? yes
should I've afforded it? no.
