My Journey To An Adventurous Camp.

My journey to an adventurious camp.
It was a very bright day and the boredom was killing.
Then I remembered I had I camp meeting to attend, although I was around 4pm that I decided to pack my luggages so as to head to the camp. It was around 4:30pm that I  started moving to where am going to get a free bus that was to convey us to the venue, bit on getting there I discovered that the bus had already gone since 11am.

I was so dejected and was thinking of a way out, not until few minutes later that my phone ranged and that gave me a reason to smile, the caller was like hello have gone to the camp you told me of and I replied NO, he then said I should come and meet him I n a place not to far from where I was that he had some cash to give me..Lol..as if he was aware I was already stranded.
 I met him at the place he said  we should meet and he then handed me some cash in which I used for transporting myself to the venue of the camp meeting.

I got to the camp at around 7:30pm tired and stressed out although has I was getting there I felt the camp was going to be funfilledand adventurous. It was almost immediately I got there that I  bumped into an old friend who was so glad to see me  and we exchanged greetings and afterwards the camp adventure started..............................

Google New app

A team of Google employees has teamed up to create a new app called Grasshopper and it teaches the fundamentals of programming. Grasshopper works just like DuoLingo and in few minutes it can improve your skills by completing some tasks. The app’s about us page states, “Coding is becoming such an essential skill, and we want to make it possible for everyone to learn even when life gets busy. We made Grasshopper to help folks like you get into coding in a fun and easy way.”



The Grasshopper App uses animations and graphic designs to walk the user through simple challenges while teaching the basics of coding like functions, variables, and objects. The free mobile app is available for both Android and iOS. It is so simple that everyone who is smartphone literate can try it. By following the challenges step by step, the app can teach the basics of JavaScript. Laura Holmes, the founder of Grasshopper said that the app is a series of challenges which get difficult step by step as the skills of the user enhance.



Holmes said, “Each coding puzzle has the student writing real JavaScript code using a custom built code editing environment. The student is given a challenge, and the user has to solve it using the code, but it only takes a few taps to write out. Each time the student runs code, they’re given real-time feedback to help guide them towards solving the challenge. Many students have told us that this real-time feedback feels like a tutor since the feedback feels so tailored to the student’s current state.”



Just like other apps, Grasshopper also rewards the user for the achievements. It gives medals and prizes for clearing new levels and using the app for several days in a row. The curriculum of the app will continue to grow with time. The app is providing a chance to try their hand at programming. If someone thinks they have a knack for it, they can pursue it further by learning through many other online courses. The developers decided to use JavaScript as it is the language which is used by more than 70% of the professionals.



Holmes said, “We see Grasshopper as a launchpad to help introduce people to code. For one-third of our users, Grasshopper is the first time they’ve ever encountered coding. Many people think that coding isn’t for them or don’t have the access and time needed to consider it as a viable career path, and we want to help change that perception.” The app is created from Google’s Area 120 internal incubator. It is a program which gives the employees a chance to work full-time on their side projects. Google has been running its Area 120 for two years now and many cool apps are created from the platform. Some of the best apps from Google Area 120 are Avr, Tailor, Supersonic, Appointments, and UpTime.

Quick Fact

THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN TO BE INVITED T6O THE WHITE HOUSE FOR DINNER.

In the autumn of 1901, Booker T. Washington, the great educator, author, and orator, was on a speaking tour. In Mississippi, he received a telegram from President Theodore Roosevelt. (President William McKinley had been assassinated less than two months before, an event which led to Roosevelt being sworn in as President.) The telegram asked Washington to come to the capitol for a conference. When Washington arrived on the afternoon of October 16, 1901, he received an invitation to dine with the President at 8:00p that evening. According to Roosevelt biographer.

THE MASTER WEALTH BUILDER

Making the conversion from a spender to a saver isn't easy. It takes more than simply reading and acknowledging this article. It takes commitment and the discipline to follow a carefully articulated savings-and-investment plan over time.
First you must decide how much of your income you will “pay yourself first.” That number, as Clason suggests in The Richest Man in Babylon, should be at least one-tenth of your income and can be “as much as you are comfortable with.”
And it has to be done consistently with each and every paycheck and every time you bring in any extra income. That is a profoundly important point. You want to make paying yourself first a regular habit — because until it becomes a habit, it is a chore.

.

The purpose of wealth building is not the acquisition of wealth itself but the power and peace of mind it can bring you. Unless and until you make paying yourself first an automatic part of your day-to-day routine, you won't enjoy those benefits.

In my own life, this transformation took several years. For the first two or three years of my wealth-building adventure, I managed to increase my income dramatically and put a good portion of that money aside. But I did so only after I spent a ton of money on all sorts of material rewards — a bigger house, a nicer car, some toys for me and my family.
It didn't take long to grow tired of the toys and discover that I felt little better in my Lexus than I had in my Honda. And so long as my retirement account was insufficient to do anything but keep my bills paid for six months or a year, I never felt any of the true benefits of wealth.
Pay yourself first. Invest 10%... 20%... 30% of your income, as you get it, and within a relatively short amount of time (certainly no longer than five years), you'll experience a complete change in the way you think about money.
You’ll no longer count your wealth by recounting your possessions. And you’ll begin to see your savings/investment nest egg for what it is — a true measure of your potential to live life to the fullest.
Twice a year, I take the pulse of my financial health. I add up my assets, deduct my liabilities, and come up with a figure that represents my personal net worth. You should do the same.
When that’s done, I deduct the combined value of my home, my car, and any other thing that I know I will want to keep and use even in a state of retirement or semi-retirement. After that figure is subtracted, I arrive at a number that represents my net savings — that is, my savings minus any debt.
This figure is the basis for passive income — money I can make without actually working. I count only the investment pool that can generate income — and my objective is for that income to be sufficient to pay for my lifestyle even if my active income dries up completely.

15 Minutes in the Morning
It's not about the hour you wake up, it's about what you do with the hours that you are up. Whenever you start your day, start it with a powerful morning routine to get your mind right, then focus on your #1 priority for at least 15 minutes and win a victory that the world can't take away from you no matter how crazy the rest of the day gets. You got this.


In working with the three people I mentioned yesterday in Part 1 of this essay, it's easy to see why they all arrived at middle age without three shekels among them. They have worked long and hard in various professions and at times have enjoyed incomes well above average. But when I sat down with each of them to construct a personal balance sheet, it became painfully clear that, in careers that spanned 20 years, none of them had managed to achieve a positive net worth.
Yes, they had good reasons — business setbacks, family demands, unexpected health expenditures, etc. Yes, they have had their share of bad luck.
But so have I, and so, probably, have you.
The trick to overcoming the vicissitudes of fortune is, as Algamish taught Arkad, to begin by paying yourself first.
That’s the lesson Bansir and Kobbi learned from Arkad. But Arkad goes on to explain to them why, though it is important, saving is not, by itself, enough to make you rich.
He continues with his story: “A twelfth month after Algamish had gone, he again returned and said to me, 'Son, have you paid to yourself not less than one-tenth of all you have earned this past year?”
Arkad answered proudly, “Yes, master. I have.”
“And what have you done with it?” asked Algamish.
“I have given it to Azmur, the brick maker, who told me he was traveling over the far seas and in Tyre he would buy for me the rare jewels of the Phoenicians. When he returns, we shall sell these at high prices and divide the earnings.”
“Every fool must learn,” Algamish growled. “Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you take only what is worth having. He who takes advice about his savings from one who is inexperienced in such matters shall pay with his savings.”
I’ve witnessed Arkad’s sad story more times than I’d like to admit. I’ve seen dozens of overeager investors lose fortunes. Some fell victim to cheating and lying. But all were guilty of making some form of the stupid mistake Arkad made: taking moneymaking advice from someone who didn't actually know anything about it. It’s astounding how many people do that.
Many self-proclaimed investment experts, and even state-authorized financial experts, for that matter, don’t necessarily know what they are talking about. Brokers must pass a battery of tests before they can start selling stock, but none of those exams can predict how seriously they will study the stocks they recommend or how well those stocks will perform in the free market.
Although some investment experts have substantial and impressive track records (and we identify who those are for you regularly in ETR), most do not. Countless studies have shown that, over the long run, 80% of the experts out there can't beat market averages.
That’s important  to consider when it comes time to decide how you are going to invest your savings. Because you can't expect to get wealthy unless you find a way to earn a moderately high, yet very conservative ROI on your invested funds.
As Arkad learned, you need expert advice, but how do you get it?
First, recognize the difference between investing and wealth building. Investing is only one part of becoming independently wealthy. The other is developing substantial streams of income to support your lifestyle and fund investments. If making wealth building your goal is the first secret to becoming independently wealthy and if developing the habit of saving (paying yourself first) is the second secret, getting good advice about how to invest your savings is secret No. 3.
The good advice Arkad gets from Algamish is simple: Get your financial advice not from someone who has simply heard about an investment, but from someone who understands it, has personally profited from it, and is willing to share his knowledge and experience with you.
The interesting thing about the world of financial advice is that the more valuable the advice is, the less you are usually asked to pay for it.
This is an irony that I have talked about with many of the smartest financial experts I know. The really heady knowledge — the most profound truths and the most powerful secrets — are freely available to all who want them.
These are the time-tested, experience-proven truths that great books from Aristotle’s Poetics, to Ben Franklin’s Poor Richard's Almanac, to The Richest Man in Babylon have in common:

• Make wealth building your goal and develop a detailed plan to achieve it.
• Keep a part of what you earn.
• Get advice from people who truly know what they’re talking about.

The less-important advice — what particular stock to buy, what bond gives you a quarter-point better yield, how to get 10% better financing on a rental property — is the stuff of all the courses that are sold to wealth seekers. It’s not that more-specific advice can’t be valuable, but it will never be nearly as useful as the simple stuff.

NO Free Lunch

By Jon Acuff

When you launch an event, book, or product, you have to decide whether you’ll charge for it. Popular rhetoric will argue that it should be free. That makes sense in theory. If something cost $10 and something else was free, the free item would be more popular. More people, realizing they don’t have $10, will jump on board with the option that costs zero dollars. That’s a nice theory, but reality doesn’t always work that way. In fact, I’ve learned just the opposite. I’ve been holding meetups in cities across the country. During the meetups, I teach about bravery and hustle. It’s essentially an hour long event and it’s free. Of the people that sign up online, only about 30% show up. Contrast that with the paid events I’ve tried. When I charge for an event, 90% of the attendees show up. Why does this happen? Because if you pay $10 for an event, you have skin in the game... People don’t value things that don’t have value. If you want to increase the number of people who sign up for something, give it away for free. If you want to increase the number of people who show up and are invested in what you’ve created, consider charging. If you believe that what you’ve created will actually help someone change their life, you dramatically increase the chances of the person actually using it if you charge them money for it. You think you’re doing them a charity by giving it away for free but you’re actually removing reasons they’ll use what you’ve created. Remember this: When something costs us nothing, we tend to invest the same amount in it.
