1. The honeymoon stage.

In the honeymoon stage everything happens effortlessly. You don't force anything. It's just beautiful. You can easily think you have won or think you've found your ideal soul mate. Everything is picky and pretty.

You just want to spend more time together. You even start to fantasize about the future together. It's just beautiful because you have found each other.

2. The testing stage.

The second stage is the testing stage. Some call it the reality stage. Love is no longer new, the sex is no longer desirable or appetising. The feelings have faded.

The acting is over, the reality kicks in. It's either you tolerate, accept or it's over. You start finding faults in your partner. This doesn't mean you no longer love them but you now see them from a reality perspective. You start fighting and doubting if you are really in love.

3. The Give in or give up stage.

This is the most difficult stage of the relationship. It's called the building stage. A lot of fights happen. You start getting angry at little things and become more insecure because you no longer see eye to eye in a lot of things.

It is the higher stage of the relationship where breakup is highly possible. The stage where intimacy is dry and love is cold.*

If you are both not mature enough the relationship will end here. One will start to cheat for the taste of new love.

4. The winning stage.

In this stage you both accept that you are two different individuals and imperfect. You both have different qualities and flows but still choose each other, and want to stick together no matter what.

You choose the relationship over your feelings and emotions at times.

Many divorces happen because a lot of people marry on their honeymoon stage.

They marry strangers and when the reality kicks they think he or she has changed.

Why are more and more people choosing to live a "low-profile life"?

You stop giving so much of yourself to others ,

Crazy how peaceful your life becomes once you start keeping low-profile ,

Not everyone needs to know everything about you ,

You get more time to be with people who respect your choices ,

From a place of calm , you’ve a crucial starter’s advantage. This is where creativity & energy flourish,

Now the attention is OFF you & you’ll be less self-conscious at work place or your surroundings ,
The fewer people know about you , the less they can say about you . There won’t be any space for gossip or drama ,

You won’t offend people no matter what & people around you won’t dislike you ,

The goal is to make money , not impress people ,
The more you work on yourself , the less you complain ,

Let yourself be silently drawn to improve on what you really love doing ,

What skills are hard to learn after age 30?

This is a great, thought provoking question. I would like to believe that no skill absolutely can’t be learnt once you cross 30, but some things definitely do get harder.

We have two young kids and as I think about the skills we’d like them to learn, those make good examples of things that are harder to pick up post 30.

A new musical instrument

A new language

Swimming

Riding a bike

Other physically challenging things - example, I am pretty sure I am not going to be a gymnast or figure skater in this lifetime.

Empathy for others

More abstract things:

Your general demeanor and personality traits are hard to change once you get older. For example, if you are an extrovert, post 30 that trait is likely going to stay.
Your appetite for risk taking is probably well formed by this time also and although this can be changed, it likely a non-trivial amount of work.

My dad moved to the US when he was over 60. Prior to that, he had been driving on the left side of the road in India for 30–40 years. He was able to overcome the strong muscle memory associated with driving and learned to drive on the right side of the road in the US within a few months. I think that’s pretty awesome.

With enough will, determination and perseverance I think the human body and spirit is capable of a lot of new learning and change, but in general as you get older there is more inertia to continue the habits you already have, which make big changes harder. Good luck!

Can any of your non-trading buddies or loved ones paint a clear picture of what you do for a living?

I've got friends who've been with me through my entire trading journey... but if they were asked to explain it, they'd probably draw a blank.

Doesn't make them bad friends.

But when I mention I'm off to get my trades on, they look at me like I just sprouted a couple of new heads.

Might as well tell them I'm jetting off to negotiate with aliens in a Black Hole.

And how this whole trading thing keeps me happy in my fancy lifestyle is basically a mystery to them.

Could be magic, who knows! And that's alright.

Every decision - it all boils down to us - the buck stops with you.

When we succeed... oooh, it's delicious.

And when we 'fail', we roll up our sleeves... and come back swinging the next day with fresh enthusiasm to learn from our 'failures' and get back on top.

We're a misunderstood bunch, often raising eyebrows among friends and family... because we rock the boat.

Most of this terrifies regular folks. Our radical self-responsibility seems risky and downright crazy.

Why take these risks? No 'for-sure' paycheck, tons of introspective thinking, and hard work.

So why do we do it?

Well, because it's the most exhilarating way to live. Every day in trading gives you back your choices.

In your world, you're the driving force. It's a big responsibility, no doubt... but you can always quit and go back to working for someone else. Maybe.

Most of us, after living the trading lifestyle for a while, are basically unemployable.

We're too independent. Too allergic to nonsense. Too wise about how the world really ticks to accept a role that's meek or ineffective.

So, why not savor the adventure you're living? No matter where you stand in the trading game, if you've been tuning in to my rants and tales, you've got the trader's spirit in your veins.

If not, you'd have hit 'unsubscribe' ages ago.

Because what I talk about in these messages probably sounds like wild, out-there dreams to most folks. But, you know it in your heart that this is the world where you want to play.

The advice I’m about to share may seem counterintuitive.

But being pessimistic really does make you a better trader.

Let me explain…

Think about the time when you took a setup that met all the criteria of your trading plan.

It was such an A+ setup that you were certain it would hit your profit target.

And after calculating the risk-to-reward ratio…

You were just waiting to see that extra 3.5% in your account balance.

But no…

The market ended up reversing on you and started racing towards your stop loss.

All certainty and optimism you felt were replaced with a fear of losing.

And by the time you were stopped out, you likely felt a mix of disappointment and frustration.

Which you ended up carrying with you for the next trade you took…

Sound familiar?

Well, this is the danger of being optimistic about your trades.

You become so tied to the outcome that you experience an emotional rollercoaster when you’re trading.

And that’s why it pays to be pessimistic.

If you visualise your trade consolidating, retracing on you and even stopping you out…

You’ve already accepted the worst-case scenario in your mind.

So you can trade without any stress, anxiety or frustration.

And take your trading to a more professional level.

Of course, this is easier said than done….

“If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.

The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.

In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."

This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.

The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.

While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.

Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C

Yes you read that right.

The Japanese police have been doing literally nothing these days.

The reason behind this is the ever decreasing crime rate in Japan.

Let me tell you some facts here:

The crime rate in Japan has decreased to negligible amount in last 13 years.

On an average, there is less than 1% chance of crime for every 100,000 people in Japan.
There was only one incident of murder last year in Japan. Yes just one!

The most important element of police power, though, is not authority to search, but authority in the community. Like school teachers, Japanese policemen rate high in public esteem, especially in the countryside.

The police in Japan are trained in calligraphy and Haiku composition.

Police in Japan do carry a gun but they rarely use it. Instead they use their black belts in judo or police sticks. In an average year, the entire Tokyo police force only fires six shots.

15,000 koban "police boxes" are located throughout the cities.

Police koban box officers spend time teaching neighborhood youth judo or calligraphy.

The officers even hand- write their own newspapers, with information about crime and accidents, "stories about good deeds by children, and opinions of
residents."

Tokyo is the safest city in the entire world.

Since the dot-com boom crash and 2008 recession, calling a successful market a bubble has become high fashion.

The bitcoin craze is no different.

People have been calling it a bubble since the first 100 users.

Bitcoin $5: “Bitcoin is overpriced, this is a bubble”
Bitcoin $50: “Total insanity, everyone will lose their shirts”
Bitcoin $500: “I can’t believe anyone is stupid enough to buy this”
Bitcoin $5,000: “This is a fad, it’s just like tulips.”
Problem is…

Most of what Bitcoiners said will happen has come true. (All that’s left is $1 million BTC.)

Mainstream adoption
Bitcoin Spot ETFs
Institutional investment
Accepted widely as a “digital gold”
BUT

James and I don’t think the real money will be made in Bitcoin, Ethereum…

Or any of the top 10 cryptos.

For the past two years, we’ve focused every ounce of our attention on the early stage cryptos with MASSIVE potential.

How massive, you ask?

A lot of the answers here recommend observing a person when they're hungry or tired, or even intentionally provoking them/depriving them in order to see their “true” personality.

This approach is bullshit.

You can do this to people, but all you’ll be seeing is them at their worst. Not their best personality and certainly not their “true” personality.

I’ve known a few genuinely kind people who become awful to be around when they're hungry or tired. What does that mean? It means they aren’t used to repressing their body’s signals to eat or sleep. How does that make them bad people?

You can't know someone’s “true” personality, because you can never fully know someone else; there will always be parts of themselves that they keep from you intentionally, and other parts that even they might not know exist.

The only thing you can do is take a chance and spend time with them. The more time you spend with a person, the more you interact, the better you get to know them. It's that simple. There are no shortcuts. - Matthew Manning, Quora,

Most people fit within one of two camps:

1.] We can’t sustain the amount of human life on Earth. Full stop. A reduction in the human population is necessary.

2.] Not only can we sustain the population, but we can drastically raise the standard of living for everyone while also using fewer resources than we do now.

Elon Musk put it in a slightly different frame:

“Right vs. Left -- it’s the wrong way to think about it. It’s the extinctionists versus the pro-humans. And once you see that it’s extinctionist versus the pro-humans then it becomes very clear.”

He defines humanists as those advocating for human flourishing and progress, while extinctionists are perceived as embracing policies that could potentially lead to human decline or extinction.

I sit on the side of the humanistas.” – Chris C

The most hated people on the internet: Where are they now?

The Most Hated Man on the Internet
What he did: Hunter Moore started the revenge porn site isanyoneup.com about 10 years ago. Users were encouraged to upload nude photos of their ex to be ridiculed and insulted by visitors to the site. Moore called himself a “professional life ruiner,” and repeatedly claimed to have no remorse about it.

The website stayed up for 16 months until an internet watchdog convinced Moore to sell it. It was then learned that Moore had been paying an accomplice to hack into people’s computers and steal any compromising photos to post them on the site. Moore served two and a half years in prison for his crimes.

What he’s doing now: Released in 2017, Moore now seems to be living a more low-key life. According to GoodtoKnow, he is banned from Facebook but continues to post on Twitter, showing photos of his gym workouts, his dog, and continually talking about how rich he is. (Moore claims to have $3 million in the bank.) A quick check on Twitter at the time of this publication, however, shows Moore’s account has been suspended.
