Beat The Inflation. Protect Your Money.

People, not the affluent ones, but those who are in the middle income bracket, are terrified over losing their money. Unfortunately and perhaps due to Pavlovian conditioning, the often unacclaimed and regularly ignored middle income group people have been made to believe that they have no control over inflation . This may be because day in and day out, they feel the heat of the rising prices. Governments all over the world project a completely  different picture that is nothing but distortion of the real facts and figures and that too, their own versions meticulously bastardized by adding unrelated or semi-related inputs. Government authorities seem to believe in the concept of reverse psychology. That is the reason they push their narrative by repeatedly proclaiming from roof-tops that prices of commodities and services are under control. Regardless of whether governments speak the truth or try to hide their failures by repeated assertions, the fact is that soaring prices are scaring

Can You Become A Millionaire By Investing In The Stock Market?

Better Try To Live Longer. Success Is Beckoning You.

At the beginning of every year, many of us make resolutions. Whether we stick to those resolutions or abandon them is another question that we may deal with later. Jonathan Swift, who authored the famous "Gulliver's Travels," said in 1699 that he had made a few resolutions in the beginning of that year and the most important and sensible among them was "Not to set(t) up for observing all these Rules; for fear I should observe none." So, let us not worry about making resolutions, not to talk of sticking to them. But there is one very important thing about which we need not make any resolution because knowingly or unknowingly, it is a desire we always have in our minds. The desire is nothing but to live as long as possible. This post talks about what you should do to try to live longer so that you can enjoy the success you always want to taste and the success that may be round the corner. What is success? We should now know what success means because its definiti

Is It Hard To Get Rich?

There is a notion among people that getting rich is not everyone's cup of tea. These folks may be working hard but may be leading an ordinary life. So, they think that it is difficult to amass wealth. They cite several reasons including that one has to be born with a silver spoon, has to have education from an Ivy League Educational Institution, or similar such things. Other excuses they cite are that prices of almost all commodities and services have sky-rocketed and that their incomes have not gone up in the same proportion. Do you think that their notion is right? The answer is a huge "No" because there are scores and scores of people who have not been born in rich families, nor have they done their studies in Ivy League schools but have joined the group of top-income earners. How is this possible? This post tries to delve into this topic. Do you have a clear goal in your life? The main reason why people fail to get rich is that they do not have clarity as far as the

Does this mean tha

Doable Tips to Get Rid of Anxiety

In the movie "Meet Joe Black," Joe, played by Brad Pitt, visits a hospital where he comes across an elderly and sickly woman. He interacts with her and "Obeah mon; I gonna die" are the first words the Jamaican woman utters on seeing him. To this, he replies "Obeah evil; I no evil."  You may wonder what the word "obeah" means. According to African spiritual traditions, the word indicates evil. Though great philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates, Thoreau, and Emerson have profoundly dealt with the concepts of "what is evil and what is good," the word "evil" comes with a lot of subjective interpretation. But we, despite our naivety, can easily say that in the present-day context, nothing can be more evil than anxiety attacks . Such attacks have become quite common and are intruding into our lives more powerfully than ever. The harshest consequences of these attacks is that they harm us both physically and mentally. In fact, they a
