This will work for a bore, right? I will open up and pour the mixture down underground right?

Kneyo:

Buy agricultural lime.
Directions:
1.Get a 20 liter paint bucket, fill it with water about 10 liters.
2. Put about 15cups of agricultural lime in the bucket of water and mix thoroughly.
3. Open the source of the water( where the water pumps from) and pour the agricultural lime mixture.
4. Leave for 24 hours.
5. After that is done, pump out the agricultural lime mixture, this should take an hour or two.
6.This should stabilize your water pH for 6 to 12months.

Ur fish are eating each other because u stocked d tank more dan u should. No enough space for d fishes. And, try to sort ur fish too, dat will reduce d mortality.

No matter what you’re doing right now, make sure you read this email to the very end.

You won’t regret it.

Today’s email is about something very important that most people don’t feel comfortable talking about.

And the reason we don’t like to talk about it is because we’re ashamed to admit it.

Yes, ashamed.

And that’s because we live in a society that expects people who run their own business to be successful.

So, if you’re an entrepreneur, you should be making money right?

The truth is, most entrepreneurs, especially in the start-up stage, are broke.

Being broke is one of the worst things you can be in today’s world.

Most people actually think it’s a disease.

In fact, it can be so bad that you could lose friends and social standing just by being broke.

And to avoid this, many entrepreneurs prefer to suffer in silence and pretend that business is fine.

If you’re this person, or you know somebody who is going through this, there’s something you really need to know:

Being broke is a CRITICAL part of the start-up journey.

In fact, if you don’t go broke while you’re trying to build your business, it’s very unlikely that you will find any major success.

I know this personally, and I know this from all the entrepreneurs I have watched build successful businesses.

From Elon Musk to Zuckerberg, and the new generation of successful entrepreneurs across the world, most faced serious financial meltdowns at certain phases of their journey.

You know why?

Being broke keeps you hungry.

And when you’re hungry, when you’re really hungry, you will break down doors to make that business succeed.

And that’s because you have no choice. It’s "survive or die!"

This is hardly surprising to me because it’s terribly hard to find any successful entrepreneur who has built a business from a comfort zone.

A person in a comfort zone is a satisfied person. He or she has little incentive or motivation to ‘hustle.’

There is a level of determination, self-belief, and persistence that comes with hunger. Without these, most people would give up on their businesses.

Building a business is hard. 

In fact, most people don’t realise how hard it can be until they find themselves in the middle of it.

And because it’s hard, only a hungry person will be desperate enough to succeed.

People who have options and comfort zones will give up, abandon the business and run.

But if you’re broke, you’re on the right path.

Being broke is like a farmer who has spent and invested everything he has in the planting season.

Even though he only eats once a day, he’s not heartbroken because he has invested seeds in the ground.

As long as he keeps looking after the farm; watering the seeds and clearing the weeds, his harvest will come.

No matter how broke and hungry he is now, he knows that this ugly financial situation is only temporary.

Being broke is only part of the process.

And as long as you keep working on your business, and keep making those sacrifices, your harvest will come.

It's a natural law. Your harvest will come. smiley

In the early days of AirBnB, the founders were about $40,000 in debt and were losing weight. They were not just broke, they were in debt.

Today, 8 years later, AirBnB is valued at over $30 billion.

Nobody talks about those days when the founders were broke and stressed out.

All the magazines and blogs do these days is to glorify their success.

The truth is, nobody will ever remember your days of suffering and ‘brokenness.’

But to succeed in business, you must pass through that fire.

You will not like it. You will be stressed. You may hide yourself from friends and social circles. You will be afraid of what ‘people’ will say. And you may be tempted to abandon ship.

All of this is normal.

Being broke is the entrepreneur’s badge of honour.

It proves that you faced the heat of battle, and you emerged the victor.

As long as you keep working hard on your business, and keep making the sacrifices that need to be made, those dark clouds will pass.

A broke entrepreneur is not a loser.

While the first has a vision and has planted seeds in the ground, a loser lacks both.

If you’re trying to build a successful business, there’s a high chance you will run out of money.

Embrace the hunger; it’s the best coach and most capable motivator you will ever have.

There’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Just. Keep. Moving

Some people prefer fries because it is cost effective, you will know their history from the early period, also for reselling at fingerlings especially those that do not have hatching facility.

They are just getting to week three.
