5 Things you need to know about Domain Registration

Domain name registration in Zimbabwe is becoming a thing as the country becomes aware of the vast need to do business online. Just 5 years ago, having a website was seen as a luxury and very few companies invested in one. Today, if you are not online; you are not in business. The internet has a wide reach and you cannot miss out on the opportunity to reach new people.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is an internet address/name that people use to find you. If it wasnt for domain names we would be using numbers to locate web pages (trust me that would have been work), so essentially a domain name converts those numbers for us in words we can understand. At the end of the day you have domain names like tremhost.com, tremhost.co.zw and tr.co.zw.

Which TLD should you get?

You now know what a domain name is, but you are probably confused with which one you should get. The are many tlds (extensions) e.g .co.zw, .com, .net, .org, .biz, .co.za, .info and bazillion others so which one should you take? Well, it depends. Which tld you should get depends largely on your business location. Are you operating in Zimbabwe? Great, a .co.zw is good for you! You operating in South Africa? Get a .co.za. You are international? Get .com!

The honest truth is that you can get away with any tld but if you are targeting a specific location then you are far better off with a location based tld. A .co.zw, .ac.zw or .org.zw is what we call a country level tld and they are really good if you are based in that particular country. Org tld is good if you run an organisation or some charity then .net is good if you have some kind of network or networking going on. You see where this is going? Biz, for business, .co for company, there is an abundance of tlds you can choose for your domain name. In my opinion, if you do not have an international market and do not intend to then stick with local tlds: .co.zw, .co.ac, .org.zw.

Domain Name Billing Cycle

A domain name, unfortunately is not bought once and keep it forever, no. A domain name is renewed every year so you are going to find yourself being billed every year. There is an option of course to register a domain name for up to 10 years depending with your registrar.

Can you resell domain names for a profit?

Yes. Domain names are a major profit point these days. There are 2 ways to make money from reselling domain names:

  1. Find nice discounts from a domain name registrar and put a markup then register for your clients.
  2. Register a domain name then sale it for a higher price on sedo.com

Some people are making 6 figures out of this, the determining factor for success is largely based on research, timing and sometimes just lick.

Short Case Study: Naiza Boom Secret Sauce For Growth

If you are from Zimbabwe or you are outside Zimbabwe and you have:

  1. access to Youtube
  2. you understand Shona

Then you probably watched at least an episode from Naiza Boom. If you haven’t then Naiza Boom still had this article written about them.This is not just an article, it is an in-depth case study that was done in-house by Tremhost Marketing to figure out what makes Naiza Boom tick. Tremhost decided to publish the case study to help marketers, content creators and anyone who wants to learn principles for growth in the internet age. We did the hard work for you so that you wouldn’t, however, the information below is based on our research and observations that means that some things may not be accurate. With that said, we believe we did our best to do justice to the case study and compress it for a quick digest.

1.Great Talent. Imagine having an all-star team of Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe… you see where I am going? That team is most likely going to be the team of the decade and the same can be said about Naiza Boom. Naiza Boom Comedy features popular comedian Dhafu (Cathy Chapungu), Jatiwero (Terrence Chirinda), Jedza (Takunda Claude Nyakabau) and Paida (Shyline Chalimba) among others and really this is a very, very talented team. You cannot go wrong with a talented team unless if you try hard to lose. Naiza Boom is where it is today because of the talent it hires/features. The first secret sauce for growth we noticed from Naiza Boom is: hiring/featuring great talent.

2.Content People Can Relate To. Great talent will not take you far if you make crappy content. Fortunately for Naiza Boom, they create content we Zimbabweans relate to- the locations, the language, the sets, dressing; it’s different from Korean Movies. Entertainment hits home when you find yourself saying, “hey I’ve done that!”, “ohh yeah yeah people like that are my neighbors!”. Naiza Boom captures our feelings and experiences and the characters are people who sound, behave and act like the people that are around us. Let credit go where it is due, Naiza Boom is a master of content creation and engagement. Lesson: make things people can relate to, things people will love and you will scale and grow your business.

3.Consistency. If Naiza Boom had 3 videos on their channel then there is no way they would have got to 150K+ subscribers. No way. Naiza Boom knows that people need consistent food (entertainment) and when people starve, they leave. Naiza meets the demands of their audience by pumping out episodes every single day! Pause for a moment…. It is not easy to release content everyday now imagine releasing quality content every single day. Mind Blowing. These guys are on steroids, that is the only explanation for their quality and consistency. Lesson: don’t do something once and expect things to just fall in place. Keep on grinding and eventually things will pick up.

4.Friendly to the Fans. The problem with some content creators once they hit a milestone is that they become overly cocky and plain rude to fans forgetting that the same fans are the ones that got them there. Naiza Boom is different, we haven’t seen a rude comment or insult to a fan. In fact, they thank their fans all the time and this keeps fans happy. We hope this trend continues. Lesson: if you want to get out of business fast then ignore,insult and fight with users/fans/clients. If you want growth then stay friendly to fans, musaganzire maFans.

5.Quality: Don’t be ZBC. None of the above matters if Naiza Boom was shooting videos on a 2008 Gtel phone, the content will be an eye sore. Quality matters, that is why ZBC is pretty much dead- showers every time and who uses analog in this day and age? Geez. There is no doubt that Naiza Boom made investments in their video equipment, even the audio quality is good and that goes a long way. Lesson: you do not need expensive equipment to get started but you need decent equipment that by the least- doesn’t suck. Reasonable quality goes a long way, just start with good equipment then scale from there. Just start in your room then with time get an office. We stand by Naiza Boom and hope they get 4k video quality soon.

Apple Has Just Widen The Gap With The New M1 Ipad

The Apple Ipad Pro has been the undisputed leader in the tablet arena. No other tablet came close in terms of performance, efficiency and everything else. We would have expected the competition to catch up but…. it is too late now. The M1 chip has just widened that gap.

Apple today announced the most powerful and advanced iPad Pro ever, pushing the limits of what’s possible on iPad. The addition of the Apple-designed M1 chip delivers a massive leap in performance, making iPad Pro the fastest device of its kind. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro features a new Liquid Retina XDR display that brings extreme dynamic range to iPad Pro, offering a stunning visual experience with more true-to-life details to the most demanding HDR workflows. Cellular models with 5G deliver even faster wireless connectivity when on the go, and to provide users with pro-level throughput for high-speed accessories, iPad Pro now includes support for Thunderbolt. Additionally, an all-new Ultra Wide front camera enables Center Stage, a new feature that automatically keeps users perfectly framed for even more engaging video calls. The new iPad Pro is available to order beginning Friday, April 30, on apple.com, and will be available in the second half of May.
“The revolutionary M1 chip has been a breakthrough for the Mac, and we’re incredibly excited to bring it to iPad Pro,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “With M1’s huge jump in performance, a groundbreaking extreme dynamic range experience on the 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, up to 2TB of high-speed storage, Thunderbolt expansion, a four-speaker audio system, pro cameras with LiDAR Scanner, blazing-fast 5G connectivity, an amazing video-calling experience with Center Stage — combined with the advanced features of iPadOS and a powerful pro app ecosystem all in a device users can hold in one hand — there’s nothing else like iPad Pro.”
This is really impressive.
As the saying goes, it’s “a giant leap for mankind”. We now just have to get hold of this beast and found out what it offers in the real world. Keep in mind that the Ipad Pro has never disappointed.
The device has a new eight-core M1 processor, the same chip that powers the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini. Apple claims this will deliver “a big jump in performance” over the previous generation. The graphics performance is over 1,500 times faster, per the company. The chip brings a number of new features, including a “next-generation 16-core Apple Neural engine” and an advanced image signal processor. Apple also says you can expect up to 10 hours of battery life from Wi-Fi models and nine hours from Wi-Fi + Cellular models.
A new processor, 5G, a promising camera, Thunderbolt and… a high price tag.

M1 Comes to iPad Pro

The breakthrough M1 chip takes the industry-leading performance of iPad Pro to an entirely new level. The 8-core CPU design features the world’s fastest CPU cores in low-power silicon — delivering up to 50 percent faster CPU performance than A12Z Bionic. The 8-core GPU is in a class of its own, delivering up to 40 percent faster GPU performance. This combination of CPU and graphics performance on iPad Pro widens its lead as the fastest device of its kind. Powerful custom technologies, including a next-generation 16-core Apple Neural Engine, an advanced image signal processor (ISP), a unified, high-bandwidth memory architecture with up to 16GB of memory, 2x faster storage, and up to 2TB capacity, make iPad Pro more capable than ever. The industry-leading power efficiency of M1 enables all of that amazing performance along with all-day battery life in the thin and light design of iPad Pro.1 Because M1 shares the same fundamental architecture of A-series chips, iPadOS is already optimized to take full advantage of the powerful technologies in M1 to easily handle everything from simple navigation to the most demanding workflows.

12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display Brings Extreme Dynamic Range to iPad Pro

The new Liquid Retina XDR display brings the stunning front-of-screen performance of the Pro Display XDR to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Engineered with a new cutting-edge mini-LED design that uses over 10,000 LEDs across the entire back of the display, the Liquid Retina XDR display features up to 1000 nits of full-screen brightness, 1600 nits of peak brightness, and a phenomenal 1 million-to-1 contrast ratio to enhance creative workflows. The result is a stunning visual experience that reflects what can be seen in the real world by capturing the brightest highlights and the most subtle details in even the darkest images. Now creative professionals, including photographers, videographers, and filmmakers, can view and edit true-to-life HDR content on a large display they can take anywhere. The new Liquid Retina XDR display includes other advanced technologies that can also be found in the 11-inch iPad Pro, including ProMotion, True Tone, and P3 wide color support, delivering an unmatched mobile cinematic viewing experience for HDR and Dolby Vision content.

The 11-inch model starts at $799 (Wi-Fi) and $999 (Wi-Fi + Cellular), and the 12.9-inch one begins at $1,099 (Wi-Fi) and $1,299 (Wi-Fi + Cellular). Education pricing is also available: college students can get the 11-inch model for $749 and the 12.9-inch model for $999.

Both models will be available in the second half of May, with preorders going live on April 30th.

Why Young Adults Feel Lost in Their 20s

Why Young Adults Feel Lost in Their 20s

It is no longer a secret that our generation ( I was born in the 90s) is more confused than the previous generation. My grandfather was financially stable by the time he was just 20 and he started a family later when he was just 21. My dad was financially stable and owned a house by 25. It was actually common for people in their 20s to be stable than the opposite, back then, people were responsible by the time they were just 16. Nowadays, 30 is the new 16. What changed?

Writing as a millennial myself it is natural to take a defensive position because I don’t own a house, not even a car yet in the 60s people our age basically had life figured out. Looking at different angles, there things that keep popping up- things like, “millennials are just damn lazy!” and “you are a spoiled generation”. The only way to know the truth is by examining the facts. Here are some:

  1. The world is harsher than it was 50-100 years ago. In all honesty, your grandparents were born during the greatest economic boom of all time. The economy was booming after world war 2, and almost everyone had a nice cushy job and able to save as currencies around the world were less inflated. So it was easy for your grandparents to save and invest, banks readily gave loans and life was generally easy.
  2. Our parents and grandparents worked hard, we are kinda lazy. Its hard to accept this but it’s true. Remember our folks had to go to the fields to work on crops early in the morning then run/walk 20kms to school, that build a strong work ethic in them. They grew up knowing that hard work pays, anyone who didn’t work was deprived of food; this taught them that they had to work for a living. Fast forward to our generation, we are lazy- that’s the general truth. We are much more fulfilled in celebrating other people’s success on Instagram than to work hard for our own success. I am in my 20s and frankly speaking, my grandmother has more grit and work stamina than I do- she’s a machine, a damn bloody machine that just keeps going. I cannot match her. If I had my grandmothers work ethic in today’s world, trust me hamundibate (you won’t catch up with me).
  3. We are entitled. Yes we are. We are that generation that got medals for participation and that fostered a sense of entitlement. We think we deserve this and that just because we think the world owes us everything. We rather complain than going out there and hustle. We rather watch mum and dad go to work and bring back the beacon than working up early in the morning and hustle. Mum and dad will be gone soon and what are going to do?
  4. The system is rigged. The honest truth is: if you don’t know someone, it’s hard to make it even though you are an honest hard worker. Jobs get advertised when they have already been filled by a relative or friend, now its about nepotism rather than ability- no wonder why our economy is tanking. I do know of people who made it regardless of the system and that means we too can make it even if the system is rigged.
  5. We do things for clout. Instead of saving to invest money, we buy things we do not need, to impress people we do not like with things we barely afford. That keeps us living paycheck to paycheck and before we know it, we are 40 with nothing to show than filtered pictures on Instagram.

It is important to note that these are my observations and they reflect my opinions. Let’s have a discussion, comment below.

Is Africa even serious about 5g?

Is Africa even serious about 5g?

The hottest topic in tech right now is 5g. Everyone is talking about how 5g will change our daily lives with some being pessimistic about it while others are overly optimistic. I lean on the optimistic side. Consider this: 5g will be so fast that 4g is like a tortoise in comparison. In all fairness, 5g is like a rocket while 4g is like a bicycle; the speed difference is just massive. With 5g, we will be able to fully connect the internet of things. Imagine a network of self driving cars in sync to avoid traffic jams and maximise on efficiency. With 5g, you can have an operation while you are in Zimbabwe and the surgeon is on the other side of the world. Candidly, there will be problems with 5g but thats a topic for another day. Let’s dive into our topic.

Africa is quite slow when it comes to adapting new technology, even if that tech originated from the continent (no, I am not saying 5g originated from Africa, I am just saying in a general sense). This hinders growth as slow adoption can delay benefits of using tech earlier. Take Youtube for instance, early adopters rode the early wave and they are raking in millions now while late adopters struggles to reach even 100 subs.

It’s impressive to note that things are changing as countries like Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa usually take bold moves in tech with Kenya actually being among the best countries in fintech. Kenya and South Africa are currently the only countries that have rolled out 5g networks. Thats just two countries out of 54 countries. Compare to 25 countries in Europe that now have 5g and 31 in Asia. We are not doing enough.

This makes you wonder whether Netone, Telecel or Econet even have CEOs that are up to date with times. Early adoption can be the sole determining factor to create a monopoly. Sadly, some parts in Zimbabwe barely even have a connection to 2g.

What we know so far about iPhone 13

What we know so far about iPhone 13

While the iPhone 13 is months away from its release, we’ve already started seeing plenty of rumors about what Apple has in store for us when the phone arrives in the fall.

The upcoming iPhone 13 is expected to see some significant changes. It is supposed to feature a smaller notch, an upgraded set of cameras, a 120Hz LTPO display, an under-display Touch ID and more.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • iPhone 13 is expected to come in late September.
  • iPhone 13 series may feature a 120Hz LTPO display.
  • It is also expected to come with a smaller display notch.

iPhone 13 has already been subjected to a plethora of leaks helping us with a lot of details. We already know about the design of the upcoming series through the renders that surfaced online. Also, a few key specs popped up to provide us with a clearer picture of th upcoming iPhone 13 lineup.

The rumours and the renders suggest that the upcoming iPhone 13 lineup will follow the same design language as seen in the previous iteration. However, we could see design changes like a shrunken notch, portless charging and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Further reports suggest that iPhone 13 series will ship with a 120Hz LTPO display, improved battery life and a better set of cameras.

More like last year, the Cupertino giant is expected to bring four iPhone 13 models that include – the standard iPhone 13, the affordable iPhone 13 mini, the high-end iPhone 13 Pro and the flagship iPhone 13 Pro.

The leaks, rumours and reports have helped us gain a lot more about these devices than what we had previously known. Hence, we decided to stack everything we know so far about the upcoming iPhone 13 series.

iPhone 13 specs and features

–Starting off with the design, the most significant design change that you might see on the upcoming iPhone 13 series is the inclusion of a shrunken notch. Several leaks have appeared to confirm that Apple is downsizing the notch to incorporate a bigger display.

-A more recent leak reported by a credible website reveals the front glass panels of the iPhone 13 lineup. The images showcase three different sized glass panels with a small hole for the selfie shooter.

-Moreover, the top bezel can be seen having a small cutout which we suppose is for the earpiece/speaker. To remind you, the notch on the iPhone 12 lineup series was included in the notch itself.

–Moving further, the devices in the upcoming lineup are expected to come in 5.4-inch, 6.1-inch, and 6.7-inch sizes.

–Another interesting rumour suggests that the iPhone 13 series may feature a portless design on one of the models. However, a renowned Apple analyst denied this change to take place in the iPhone 13 lineup. He said, “At present, the MagSafe ecosystem is not mature enough, so the iPhone will continue to use the Lightning port in the foreseeable future.”

–There are strong statements being made around the inclusion of an LTPO display on the Pro models of the iPhone 13 series. Also, these are expected to be 120Hz high-refresh displays that do not need extra components under the display to enable adaptive or, say, scalable refresh rate.

–For your information, LTPO is a superior and power-efficient backplane technology that can switch the individual pixel on display on and off. Thus, allowing for better battery life on the Pro models.

-The Touch ID was replaced by Face ID on the iPhone X series. However, a bunch of reports suggest that it is coming back on the iPhone 13 series with an in-display fingerprint scanner. If this comes out to be true, we will see an under-display scanner on the iPhone for the first time.

–Another leak says that the upcoming iPhones will be a tad bit thicker, to be precise, by approx 0.26mm to make space for a bigger battery.

–Finally, we may also see an always-on display on the iPhone 13 like most high-end Android devices.

–Like every year, we will see an updated chipset on the iPhone 13 series in the form of A15 Bionic. We had previously reported that the upcoming lineup might ship with a 4nm chipset. However, a new report has popped up to reveal that the iPhone 13 series will feature a 5nm A15 Bionic chipset.

–The report further details that the chipset is being developed by TSMC and will begin production in May.

–New iPhones may see a major upgrade in terms of wireless connectivity. Apple’s settlement with Qualcomm allows it to use Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X60 5G modem. This modem will expectedly be integrated into the upcoming A15 Bionic chipset thereby, saving a lot of battery life.

–Apart from this, the iPhone 13 will also have support for the latest Wi-Fi compliance, i.e. the Wi-Fi 6E/6.

 

Photo Credit – EverythingApplePro, iPhone 13 Pro camera render

–The iPhone’s come with some of the best cameras available in the smartphone markets. We are already aware of the capabilities of the cameras on the iPhone 12 lineup, hence, Apple is looking to build upon the same.

–Several reports have hinted towards a six-element Ultra-wide lens on Pro models. The current iPhone 12 Pro setup features a five-element ultrawide lens on the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro max. This should bring better image and auto-focus capability to the respective devices.

-Another interesting rumour suggests that Apple is looking for suppliers for a “folded lens” camera that will improve the iPhone 13’s optical camera zoom.

–Besides this, the iPhone 13 models are suggested to get an upgraded ultra-wide lens with an f/1.8 lens. This information is not in line with the previous leak from the famed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, which said that only Pro models would get new cameras. This new f/1.8 lens will allow a lot more light to enter the lens, resulting in an overall crisper image.

–Kuo further added that the upcoming iPhone 13 Pro and Pro max would borrow the Sensor-Shift stabilisation technology from the iPhone 12 Pro max. This should hugely benefit the video and image stabilisation on Pro models.

–Finally, all iPhone 13 models are expected to see a LiDAR sensor, a report says. But we suggest you take this information with a pinch of salt as some other reports are stating that only the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini will ship with a LiDAR sensor.

iPhone 13 series release date

Apple recently announced the date for this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), slated from June 7 to June 11. This will be a completely virtual event like last year. Apple may reveal some important details about the upcoming iPhone 13 series during this event.

As far as the launch of the iPhone 13 series is concerned, Apple is expected to hold its iPhone 13 launch event in late September, a supply chain analysis reveals.

5 Side Hustles You Can Start in Zimbabwe

5 Side Hustles You Can Start in Zimbabwe

If you are unemployed, there is a high chance that your salary is barely enough. The cost of living is always increasing yet salaries remain low. Just a few weeks ago, the price of fuel increase (that is probably due to inflation, yes the usd has inflation). Adding insult to injury, the housing market is insane; rentals and real estate prices are doubling.

What can you do to keep up with the increasing prices?

You can have a side hustle.

Whether you are a student or a father or mother, the following hustles can help you earn a handsome pay and to clarify: gambling is not a side hustle- its stupidity. With that said, here are side hustles you can start in Zim:

  1. Flipping. Flipping an item just means buying an item for a good price and selling it for more elsewhere. Generally, you buy items used at places like Facebook. Some people even flip items for a living, making enough to quit their daytime jobs. If you are on Facebook, there are many buying and selling groups you can join and often at times people sell things they no longer need for a very low price. You can buy from a low price then sell at a high price. It is up to you to make needed consideration whether the item you intend to flip is in demand and can earn you money. Facebook is just one place to look for good deals, other places are Whatsapp groups of suppliers of various items you can buy at a lower price and resell. We advice you to be cautious in any dealing s you do and if you are making an exchange, people consider public places.

2. Starting a Youtube Channel. This will not earn you money in the short term but if you have a topic you are passionate about and you put in the work then sponsors will come corning at your door. It works like this: create amazing content (put in the time)> be consistent > market your content > encourage your audience to like and subscribe and trust me when you have the audience, you can get sponsors. There are people making millionaires from Youtube and it’s not too late for you to start. However, to make a million off youtube you may have to consistently invest in content (videos) over many years unless if you are just freaking good.

3. Bake and sell to your colleagues or classmates. If you know how to bake then you can monetize your skill. With an initial investment of flour, sugar and water; you can bake scorns, muffins or cakes (and slice them) then sell to people you work with or people in your class. Make sure to maintain good hygiene like having a good sanitizer and wraps- it will make your customers have confident in you and worry less about getting sick.

4. Sell cosmetics. Many women (and some men) heavily rely on make up. The cosmetics industry is a huge industry and will continue to grow (check the stats) and this is the opportunity you need. Find a really good supplier and post images of your products your whatsapp, instagram and facebook story/status and you are almost guaranteed to make a sale.

5. Actively listen and observe- solve a problem. There are many things you can do to earn more depending with which part of the country you are in. Making money always comes down to solving problems people are having so as long as you are solving a problem, you will earn.Your uncle needs a baby sitter? Offer without being asked! Your neighbor doesnt cut his lawn? Ask to do it, for a fee! You have a car that saves fuel? Ask your neighbors to do school run for them!

If you see an opportunity then by all means, take it.

Things you learn as you get older

Things you learn as you get older

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned key lessons in life that I wanted to share with you. I hope this helps you live the best life possible.

Here are the top 8:

  1. Find your spark – A few times in life you will find your spark. It could be that art class you took in Italy. It could be the startup that you work late into the night for. It could be that best friend of yours that inspires you to start a motivational website. When you find that spark, hold on to it. Nurture it. It will propel you to new heights and help you grow in ways you can’t even imagine.
  2. It’s either an absolute “Yes” or “No” – Is it an absolute “Yes” or “No?” Don’t settle.
  3. To find the truth, observe actions, not words – It’s easy to say what you’re going to do. It’s easy to say what you feel. But more times than not, words can be very empty. For example, it’s easy to talk about a business idea that you have – but can you execute on it?
  4. Time heals – In a moment of stress, it can feel like the world is coming to an end. Our brains and bodies have been conditioned to be in “fight or flight” mode. So when we encounter tough situations, a lot of times we’ll have a physiological reaction to a perceived threat. That’s why humans are so quick to react in bad situations. We stress. We worry. We panic. The evolutionary purpose of this is really evident during prehistoric times. Often times a person would be in a position where they would have to make a choice quickly. If they didn’t react quickly, they might end up being dinner for a predator like a lion. Thus, the fight of flight response effectively removes “thinking” from this equation so that we could respond quickly to survive. However, times have changed and this type of reaction can often be a detriment. Nowadays, if you run into a moment of stress, anger or extreme sadness, don’t react immediately. Let yourself feel the emotions and give yourself some time to calm down and to think before reacting. Often times what I find is that by the time the next day has come, a lot of those heightened emotions have passed. Time heals. Embrace it.
  5. Buy experiences to maximize happiness – Those new shoes you just got? Sure, they look nice on you. When you’re laying on your death bed many years from now, do you think you’ll think about those shoes? No way. You’ll think about all the amazing life experiences you had. Whether it’s a trip to Spain, a biking trip across the Golden Gate Bridge, a last minute trip to Las Vegas, a moment of cuddling on the rooftop with a view of the city or a night of laughter with old friends over a bottle of wine. These experiences have the power to change and shape your life.
  6. You’re responsible for your own life – It’s easy to blame others. And yes, sometimes people will do things to you that suck. So what? Control what you can. Stop spending time with those people. Choose people that actually inspire you and make you a better person. You’re responsible for your own life. Make the hard decisions – you’ll have a better life for it. Even if you’re wrong, you’ll quickly learn from it and become a better person. You’re the CEO of your own life. Take control.
  7. Being authentic is important – Life’s too short to pretend you’re someone you’re not. It takes a tremendous amount of energy and effort to put up a facade. Be true to who you are. Own it. People appreciate authenticity. The best part about being authentic? You’ll know exactly who really enjoys being around you. Those that do not won’t stick around.
  8. Add value to people’s lives first, the money will follow – When you start a business, don’t just think about how it makes money. Yes, that’s important, but a better foundation for a business is based on one simple question: “How does this make people’s lives better?” Having a user centric approach is critical to your success. If you’re driving a huge amount of value for people, they’ll pay for it. Want examples? Robinhood (the finance app) makes it incredibly easy for people to trade stocks and removes the worry around trading fees. According to CNN, they had a waitlist of over 340,000 people. It became viral because the value they provided to the user was so incredible. Want another example? Companies are constantly struggling to find great development and design talent.

If you can’t run, do 100 pushups.

If you can’t do 100 pushups, do 100 sit-ups.

If you can’t do 100 sit-ups, do 100 squats.

If you can’t do 100 squats, do 100 lunges.

If you can’t do 100 lunges, do 100 bicep curls.

If you can’t do 100 bicep curls…

Write 100 words.

If you can’t write 100 words, brainstorm 100 writing ideas.

If you can’t brainstorm 100 writing ideas, read 100 posts from writers on Quora.

If you can’t read 100 posts from writers on Quora, listen to 100 minutes of an audiobook.

If You can’t listen to 100 minutes on an audiobook…

Cook a healthy breakfast like a 2 egg omelette.

If you can’t cook a healthy breakfast like a 2 egg omelette, make a green smoothie.

If you can’t make a green smoothie, eat a piece of fruit.

This list could go on and on…

Want to know the secret?

Step 1: Substitute “run,” “write” or “cook” with any action.

Step 2: Substitute “100” with any number that works for you. 50, 15, 5…it doesn’t matter.

What does matter is that you take action.

The inertia will get you going.

Make the choice to get up every day, to look at life with a full and open heart and to take massive action.

Our lives begin the moment we decide to start.

Start. Now.

What sucks about being your age?

In this article I have compiled responses (from quora) to the question: what sucks about being your age? If you want to contribute to the conversation please leave a comment below.

I am 23.

I should have a Masters degree, established career, have 2 children, a Doctor/Engineer/Accountant CPA Qualified for a husband, investment properties, hundreds of thousands in savings and a 6 bedroom house by the shorelines of a major Australian capital city.

… according to my parents.

I grew up in a particularly different household in comparison to my peers.

No parties, no sleepovers, no drinking, drugs, smoking, home by 6pm, having a boyfriend – it will ruin your life, no sex ESPECIALLY before marriage – how shameful, just books, study, study, study, Bachelors, Masters, PhD – oh all before 30. You might even do your Medicine Degree whilst you’re at it. Wait… why DIDN’T you do Medicine?? Isn’t this why we sent you to a private school??? Renewable Energy….umm okay…. what is that?? Sounds like a hobby!! A- minimum, B+ ??? What have we DONE to deserve this??? Failure is NOT an option. The world is F**KED. How will you survive without us here to guide you EVERY step of the way???? Travelling??? What about buy a house first and then travel or maybe do both??? Your younger siblings??? More like your pseudo children. Cook, clean everyday and drop off the kids. Go to church more, who knows, you will find the one for you. If you don’t buy that house now, you will probably not be able to pay off the mortgage EVER.“Look, [insert name] has 1000 houses, a husband, $500K saved up and she is younger. Why can’t you do the same?”

I love my parents. I respect what they have had to endure, their journey and ultimately how they overcame many adversities to provide for me and my siblings. I know they love me too but they are bonafide tigers.

At 23, I struggle to live up to their expectations.

People always say to me “wow you’re doing so well for your age” or “you seem to have it all figured out.” I can truthfully say I feel like my time is running out. At the back of my mind I constantly feel this massive clock ticking away.

Don’t get me wrong, of course I want the best for me. I’ve been living on my own for almost 2 years now with little help from my family so I can thrive and challenge myself to be the best I can be. I want my career to keep flourishing, finish my studies, have my own family later on etc.

And in all honesty, looking back to how some of my high school friends turned out… I am somewhat glad my parents sheltered me for as long as they could.

But I have NOT lived. Not yet. I want to live life to its fullest but “What about the house?”

There is a MASSIVE clash between what I want to achieve personally (travel is a big one for me) and what I want to achieve for my parents. My individualistic tendencies are seen as unconventional and my entrepreneurial nature clashes a lot with my parent’s conservatism and Eastern culture collectivism and mentality.

I have a HUGE fear of failure and have a perfectionism complex.

Im 24.

Some people say I’m an old man in a young blokes body. I wouldn’t say there’s a lot that sucks about being this age although I do live a very privileged and blessed life where I work extremely hard. But trust me I have plenty of immature moments haha.

I went and lived abroad in Italy and Switzerland for 2 years from age 19 doing missionary work full time, particularly among refugees from the Middle East and Africa that were flooding in.

Upon returning home recommenced my studies in cosmetics and got married at 22 years young, paying my own way through life since a young age and studying is hard work but it doesn’t necessarily suck, I see these things as life lessons which only make me more prepared for life’s hardships. I welcome these lessons because it’s all part of growing up and integrating in the “adult world”

I live in Australia where life for a 24 year old is awesome if you have chosen that desired path but even then. I think in some ways I’m ahead of my years but I think life as a 24 year old is great and I will miss and be grateful for these days of my prime as time goes on.

If you’re reading this, be great, inspire others to be great, work hard and be a blessing to those around you at whatever age you find yourself right now, teach them what you know and how to overcome it.

Me and my gorgeous wife!

Married 21/12/2017 in Perth Western Australia.

I’m 24 years old female.

I come from a lower middle class family. I have done my graduation in Physics, and currently I’m doing my master’s in oceanography.

Here are some of the things that suck being at my age(in my experience):

  • First problem is family (like every other indian ). Parents(in my case my father alone)do not want to understand what I want or I can capable of doing. As I used to be that unbearable nerd/bright student in my school days, my father developed a huge ass expectation from me. From high school he wanted me to go forward to clear UPSC and become an IAS or IPS officer(just like that, the way they portray in the films; like the person is trying hard to concentrate on study, flipped few pages of the book and then walla few seconds later you got it ). Then after taking science after the 10th, he somehow manipulated me to crack PMTs(like every typical indian parents: ohh gosh I feel you all guys who have gone through the same or still going through it). I even dropped a year for that but couldn’t crack the exam. Now fast forward few years back after my 12th, I studied(tried) to crack PMT but didn’t happen anything. So, I would like to take it as my failure. After that failure my father completely lost hope in me😂. I always wanted to continue my study in physics. So, I took physics honours and later I took oceanography as my Master’s course ( don’t ask me why, mostly I don’t even know).
  • Another family problem I am facing right now is that currently I am in my 3rd sem of Master’s course and my father is pressurizing me to get a govt. job in any field ASAP. I just can’t make them understand it’s not their decade where getting a job was much easier. And till now you get the idea that I don’t really share a very good father-daughter relation with my father as we are always in some sort of cold war; also he falls under one of those angry men and I completely can’t tolerate some of his behaviour.
  • Although at this age, few of my school friends are getting married. One of my cousin got married last year during the pandemic. It just feels weird being there seeing them getting married where I can’t even see myself getting married even in my far future. Well, in that case my family believes in the concept of getting married after being stable and independent. Also Idk why I am writing about marriage and stuffs cause it was never in discussion in my family; probably seeing friends getting married and few random guys from social media saying ”then? what after M.Sc
  • ? Marriage?” every now and then – made me write about marriage.
  • Few of my friends got placed(some with a pretty handsome salary) after their engineering- B.tech / M.tech. One of my best friends(female) is going for P.hd in U.S. And here I am still in dilemma- what to do next, what I really wanna do, what I enjoy doing; I don’t know. Weirdly I am extremely happy for them.

So, about my career:

  1. The pandemic messed up with my Master’s. Online classes r going on but most of our work is field based and we got to do nothing, learnt nothing. Overall I have no idea what is going on in our course, feels like a waste of time.
  2. Also I am not very hopeful about doing a p.hd (which I primarily thought I am gonna do), mostly because I don’t think I gonna survive 5 years (huge respect to those scholars) and also this COVID fucked up the M.sc( Okay, I am not complaining, I can’t complain every time -”be a lil more mature P – a lot more”. I fucked up this time ).
  3. And I am truly scared of thinking about other career options left for me-SSC, Banks etc. NECK TO NECK COMPETITION.

so, In my career I m still trading water or in more civilized way I am still figuring out things to be an independent woman.

  • Coming to my dating/love life, I still haven’t developed any intense emotional connection with anyone or should I say I couldn’t? I can’t open up easily. I have dated few guys since my college days. I think the initial times I dated 2–3 guys casually, but later when I tried to date seriously, I realized I suck at it big time as I truly am an introvert from within. I used to think i was cool, kinda badass but i am not, I am extremely sensitive and emotional. I have said things, done things which you shouldn’t have done on your first date. I wish I could act lil more normal. It just didn’t fall under the place whereas two of my female bffs are in committed relationships happily. I am not comparing, just saying. Also the obvious pandemic messed up my dating life too. The last guy I dated(pre covid) was kinda weird too, we used to talk – everything was good..bt then we didn’t talked for a while. Then after 1 or 2 months I asked him the reason , he said “the last message was mine”, like wtf ( although I kinda liked that guy). And now I don’t feel like dating anyone until I get stable, I get a job.
  • Also one more thing worth mentioning, with the starting of this year(2021) I sort of had a break up with my friend(male best friend). I don’t know this thing is underrated or what, but It truly caused so much pain that I can’t describe. Things between us got lil intense/toxic at the last, also I was getting very negative vive from him like as a pessimist person. I guess sometimes when we grow, we grow apart- say it’s in friendship, in relationship, with siblings, with cousins etc. yeah, It does hurt and I miss him sometimes.
  • I can’t focus on things right now as I overthink, also I am very distracted. Ya, being at this age is that you overthink a lot and do very little.

So, these are some of the things that suck being at my age. Hope some of you can relate.

I am 24 years

and yes, I am old but a kid at heart lol. My apologies. xD

Not sure why but I have a habit of speaking German with a Swiss German accent with some French words as a habit from time to time as I learned it at a youthful age as my first foreign language that I self-taught since I always wanted to travel when I age. German is my favorite language to speak so don’t mind me lol. xD

Honestly, I feel more anxious, isolated, and rushed more than I ever compared to when I was 20 and it sorta is a surprise yet not since I am going to turn a quarter century old by December 10. O.o If you can see one of my favorite SpongeBob GIF’s below, this is how it actually feels when I laugh about it just by looking back on this episode on how much I’ve aged from being in Elementary to being almost a full-grown adult.

Being 24 years old does have its perks of still having plenty of energy just like a 6th. grader being full of sugar after snacking a box of Zebra Cakes but there are so many expectations that many on here mentioned. Funny how there are so many answers on here that are around my age which is quite a shock since I expect many Quoran Users to be older in general.

  • PEER PRESSURE: “You got to try drinking alcohol.” You’ll be missing out on not partying and getting hammered to the point you will have a kidney failure. Not only people assume something is wrong with me for not being into the bar scene but also not wanting to socialize in certain public settings as though I have to dress up for an interview at a Chase Bank and acting mature but in a serious way.
  • LONELINESS: This is a HUGE one as many people would misunderstood that in your mid-20’s, most of your loved-ones or strangers you will meet will either be married, have children that are toddlers / babies, and already having their own group of friends. I currently don’t have any friends myself which I’m quite surprised I’m still alive today based off my suicidal thoughts and bipolar depression and keeping my brain occupied without losing my joy by seeing people hanging out and going to places together.
  • EXPECT TO BE TREATED LIKE A SERIOUS ADULT: I can’t stress this enough! For me personally, I can get away with in a way to be treated like a preteen since I’m quite short and young in size by my appearance but also receiving some tough love. What I mean by being treated like an adult is that people don’t act as friendly towards you compared to kids, expecting to do everything yourself, and being told to man-up which is my most irritated catchphrase of society in men that cheeses me off if I am struggling in life or needing help in a tragic event.
  • YOU’RE SEEN AS A DADDY FETISH IF YOU’RE A GAY GUY: Now, this is going to be based off a Gay Topic I need to share as I’m Gay myself even though I’m Asexual but this happens to me way too often. Guys that are 1 year younger than me call me “Daddy” which is a Gay term that guys see as maturity, dominance, and bigger in size of a guy when it comes to height and penis size but also by seeing you as a sexual object or a guy that has a wealth. I’m none of those things and even get pressured to expose my body just for guys to talk to me or they will ghost or block me for rejecting them politely as I’m not the sexual type.

Life has a formula and it’s simple

Life has a formula and it’s simple

The truth is life has a formula no matter how many people say otherwise. It is worth mentioning that as long as a being has freedom then this formula applies. The limitation of the formula is that is doesnt work at all if freedom of choice is taken away and we have to keep in mind that many external factors can affect life. These factors are:

  1. political climate
  2. environmental climate

The rest of the factors are up to a persons limiting beliefs.

It is true that political and environmental climate can have a net positive/negative impact on a person or society and most of the time people have little control over these factors. In that case, the formula becomes less effective but it doesnt become irrelevant.

Generally, life is the decisions you make multiplied by the actions you take or do not take.

For example, if you make a decision to save $1 per day then actually follow through then your life is going to become better or worse based on that decision and the accompanying action. A closer look will tell you that the formula above is not complete because the decision and action you took is accompanied by consequences whether good or bad. So with the formula we already have:

Life is (decisions x actions) multiplied by consequences.

What that means is that your life is a collection of decisions and actions you took and the consequences that accompanied them. When you think about it, most of us are where we are because of a decision and action we took; the outcome of those two is what makes us be where we are now. The outcome is the consequence.

The formula above is almost complete, just not quite. Looking at that formula from a three dimensional perspective we can say that it’s complete but… but in all things there is a forth dimension which is: Time. We have to update our formula to take into account the forth dimension which is Time. Our formula will then look like this:

Life= decisions x actions x consequences x time

Your life right now is just a collections of choices your made (decisions) by actions you took and the consequences of those actions by time.

Consider this illustration: suppose 6 months ago you made a decision to run just 1km per day you followed through and actually ran 1km per day over the last 6months then the consequence is that you are going to be fit and when that is compounded over time (6 months) then you are going to be fitter and fitter hence you have changed your life!

In a similar sense, your life might be affected because of that decision and action to run 1km per day. Why? If you are running 1km per day the that means you have replaced something you were supposed to be doing like maybe reading. So in other words, your life is affected by your decision to run instead of read.

What I mean is: every single choice and every single action you take can affect your life now or over time. No question about it. Look at your life, that decision you made to break up with Tinashe might be the reason you are happy or your life is so messed up or that small choice you made to refuse a date with Tawanda is the reason you are at this point in your life.

Your own very existence follows the formula above. Why? Because on a certain date, your father decided (made a decision) to approach your mother and he actually did (took action). If he hadnt made the choice and took the action then you wouldnt have been born! It’s that simple! The conditions for your birth are very, very, very unique that if your parents decided to have sex a minute earlier or a minute later you wouldnt have been born!

Mind bending huh?

You, you reading this, you are a consequence of a decision and an action done by someone or people years ago (time).

This formula is working for you or against you. That decision you made to not dm that girl you like has an indirect effect on your life. That boy you turned down, the decision has an effect. Every decision and action you make or do not make has a consequence now or overtime. Eating pizza is a decision, not eating pizza is also a decision. Both will affect your life. So you have to be careful about your decisions.

When you make a decision and you still decide to not take action then in a sense you took action because not taking action is in itself a form of action. Huh? Well, if you decide not to go on instagram today then you took action to not go on instagram. Which means you are not doing something else.

The law of conservation of energy states that: energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another. The energy you where supposed to use in a twitter war is used for something else when you decide not to go on twitter hence altering your life completely.

I could write a book about this but it will all boil down to this: the decisions you make and the accompanying actions will produce consequences whether good or bad. If the consequences dont appear now, then time will be the aspect that will show you how you have been doing.
