301  Economy / Economics / Re: Passion for skills. on: February 25, 2024, 09:57:33 PM
There's this thing about learning skills in today's world. I don't know if I'm the only one who gets it, but then deciding to learn a particular skill, you made up your mind and all and then boom, someone just comes with or you discover something better and it becomes hard to focus on the stuff you were learning before. How does one deal with such things ? It may also be due to the fact that the times are changing and information are getting to much for you to keep up with. So the question remains the same, what would one do in this situation?

Most of the time, this happens when you don’t really put it in mind that you want to learn specific skills, because if you have passion for that skill, you will definitely try your best to achieve that knowledge. That is because when you are learning something, you need to keep in mind that even before you finish mastering the skill, you have to have some plan that will sustain you, like plan B, which is that even though the skill you learned became outdated, you should be able to modify it to the present that will arouse the interest of people and make you invest more in your skill if possible and buy all that you have already produced. That is the power of working smart. So when learning a skill, you should focus on working smarter than working hard; that is just the key.
 
So when you want to start learning a particular skill, you should make sure you are ready to stick to it no matter the challenges you will face, because any skill will most likely be a challenge. Even life as a hole has its own challenges. Jumping from one skill to the next will not solve the issues unless it triggers the challenges you are facing.

By staying in the forum, if you truly want to learn, you will actually achieve that knowledge.

Even though you just joined the forum, you are free to answer everyone and ask questions. Knowledge is in diverse forms, so we don’t know who will impact you with knowledge; it might be a higher-ranking member or a newbie.

303  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Depending on a single income now na suicide now on: February 24, 2024, 09:56:17 PM

The issue of depending on a single income for this current economy na suicide oo, because as we dy this country, the way price of everything dy add up everyday, I just dy imagine how people wey dy depend on a single income dy  use cope, talkless of those wey no even get job, because e no dy funny again at all, just imagine if you get like 3 to 4 tins wey dy give you money, no matter how things tough, e no go fit overwhelm you, because your financial ground dy strong, our newbies, make ona try to dy creative enough to double ona hustle oo, because right now e no easy for those with a single income.

Having a single source of income is like a sign of poverty, depths, depression, and many other complications that you can think of that can be caused as a result of a single source of income. The reason I say so is because many people find it hard to be creative, which is why they always depend on a single source of income.
 
For instance, a civil servant who only has a single source of income, most especially teachers, will see many complications affecting him and his family as a hole. because the money he or she will be paid will not be enough to take care of his needs and those of his family, so definitely even if he borrowed the money, he will not be able to pay because things are getting more expensive daily and no one will increase their salary, so definitely they will graduate to a stage of depression. When the depths are getting deeper, hunger will start, then it will go to the family, and if care is not taken, he might die. That is just the true face of depending on a single source of income.

Barca players showed an extraordinary match. their situation is not so good at the moment but they can still play amazingly. lots of opportunities and very strong game dominance. 4 goals without a reply, that's something extraordinary.
Finally, Barcelona was able to achieve another big victory. This big win will certainly help them in the upcoming matches to increase their confidence. It must be admitted that Barcelona's game in this match was very impressive, Xavi should be appreciated for today's victory. He has been through a lot for the club, he has been criticized for his defeats, in times of winning like this he deserves praise for his wins. This victory also brought Barcelona up to second place.

Barcelona really did a great job in today’s game, because many thought that they would end the game in a draw, even me. I thought the same also because from their last five meetings, they had three hard draws against Getafe while Barcelona scored two games, so from that, I was thinking that due to the weak performance of Barcelona, they might end up in a draw with Getafe, which they proved me wrong and made it up to the second place in the table. As you have mentioned, their results will definitely trigger their performance to have more points in order to give the effective distance to Girona because they are just a point ahead of them, and that will also make Girona not relax and watch, although they are still second in the table presently before we see the next outcome.

Quote
This is the biggest test for Girona at the moment, in fact in the last three matches they have not had good results. In this match they should be able to get three points. However, I have never seen Girona this season under pressure because they had to win against Rayo when Barcelona took over second place. Of course, in a situation like this, Girona's mentality is being tested in facing all the pressure from Barcelona. We will have to see if Girona can overcome this challenge?

The challenge of positioning between Girona and Barcelona will definitely happen because Girona were dropped from the first place, and I know Real Madrid has not given them that chance to go back to that position again, but for Barcelona, they will definitely try their best to see what will happen since there are just a point ahead of them, so this will make Girona play a wonderful and amazing game in the best match against Rayo Vallecano. So just as you mentioned, Girona are definitely facing a lot of pressure this season, which has to be very strong to encounter; if not, they will find it hard to get over this pressure.
305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Planning to invest in Bitcoin to perform Hajj. on: February 24, 2024, 04:36:53 PM

And I would like to know your opinion whether this plan will be successful in the long term and aims to provide additional funds to carry out the long-desired Hajj. My mother is currently 60 years old and wants to perform the Hajj at the age of 70, and my mother also has savings that she has been working on for a long time and also has the same goal and is sometimes used for emergency funds.
And with this I took the initiative to plan this which I will do in stages and my plan is, using $3 a day from my mother's grocery store in 30 days = $90 that I will spend in Bitcoin every month. And I will also increase my purchases when my mother has excess money or unexpected money because that often happens.

And I ask for prayers from the BTT Forum which I respect so that my mother's dream of performing the Hajj can come true.

This is a nice plan that will make you fulfil your mother’s dream, and when you do that for her, Allah will never let you suffer in this world. That is just a fact, and if you are going with the plan that you have already started, which is saving $3 per day, you can save enough money to take her here to Hajj in not more than 2 years, so if she is presently at the age of 60 now, she will be 62 or even 63 to perform her Hajj, which she will also enjoy. Because she will still be strong enough to perform all prayers and du’a that she wants to do without a lot of stress. 

Although you said she also has her own savings, the money that you will be investing in bitcoin will not have any traits that they will think the money can be spent on or have been tempered with, so you came up with a good plan that needs to be encouraged because not all children work tirelessly to see that they try and fulfil the dreams of their parents, but you have put it in your mind that you want to do so, which is a very nice step you made, so may Allah help you and see you true as you are trying your best to fulfil her dreams.
306  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Asides Government na we be our own problem for this country. on: February 24, 2024, 03:28:48 PM
Good day my country people, eh get wetin I experience for market today wey pain me so I decide to raise the matter for here, I dey aware say due to the current inflation and economic crisis we dey get, the price of dollar done dey very high against our currency and eh dey affect plenty things. Eh dey understanding to affect major goods like electronics and other imported goods, due to the exchange rates and hike of custom charges, but wetin dey pain me na be say, why all those our local goods like Pepper, waterleaf, etc go dey hike price too?
 Wetin really pain me be say I go market to buy items for soup today, so I come across one lady wey dey sell palm oil , the normal price I know a week ago for a bottle na 750 as i ask the woman the price, she say na 900 currently, Instead of to argue I say make I check another shop for market to know if she dey sincere about the price but the new woman tell me 1k, I still no argue I go back to go buy from the other woman since her own dey cheaper, lo and behold the former price she say na 900 done turn 1050 Naira, omo out of shock I ask her why the price just increase in space of few mins, she tell me say as dollar dey increase na so price dey increase. Omo wetin come pain me pass na as I go to buy vegetable, the price dey tell me for one tiny vegetable, I no fit laugh.
 Eh sound funny but the thing pain me die, and I dey wonder when all this local traders done begin dey use dollar rate dey sell their goods, eh no make sense at all. Eh just be like for person to cut plantain for em backyard then carry go market dey sell with dollar rate. Many local marketers done dey also join major traders to take advantage of the current situation, eh no make sense at all. This economic crisis no be only them eh dey affect eh reach everybody so make them stop to dey use price kill people, the bad thing about the matter na be say no matter how you complain or argue with them, you go still dey forced to buy no matter the cost, just to avoid hunger. You go come dey wonder when they begin import water leaf and palm oil wey dem dey produce locally.

Nigeria is a funny place. The story is about something that has been happening all over Nigeria. Some people take this instance of a dollar increase to increase their goal because they see that if others who are importing their goal from outside countries are increasing their price because of the dollar rate, then they will also do the same, seeing as it is also applicable to them, which does not work that way.

You know that your items are Nigerian-made and manufactured. They aren’t supposed to increase the amount of their goal when the dollar increase is very bad. That is why sometimes we are the ones making life hard for us and still continue to blame the government, thinking the main issues are from the government when we are the ones creating the problem for ourselves. 

The main thing that I expected to increase in price due to the dollar rate are even the things that are not that expensive because their prices are not going that high compared to food stuff, and if this continues to happen, the poor people in the country are the ones to suffer the most because they will start suffering from starvation, which can trigger ulcers or even death. So if the traders continue to do this, the rich will only complain, but they will still purchase it, while the poor will continue suffering. The traders are the ones that are supposed to lower the price of the goals they are selling.

I think Real Sociedad also knows that they really need this win and maybe they will also maximize their next match in the Champions League without having to tire their players. Their current position is not very safe after not getting good results in the last few matches so they have to win again against Villarreal. The previous victory against Mallorca was a special motivation for the players and they will not hesitate to make Villarreal submit at home.
If Real Sociedad realizes this match is important, they will play better. In fact, Real Sociedad only won the ball possessions and made many shot attempts but they scored 0 goals. Villareal even could play better, they are leading with 2 goals now although they only have a very little chance to score goals. They made 3 shot on target, they succeed scored 2 goals.

With this defeat, Real Sociedad isn't safe in the top 5 of La Liga table. Real Betis has a chance to overtake them now.
Well, I don't see a chance that Real Sociedad can finish this season in UCL zone. I think the realistic target is to finish at the top 5 of the table.



Update:

Current score Real Sociedad 1 vs 2 Villareal




The performance of Real Sociedad in tonight’s game was extremely poor to me, although some can say it was just luck that they didn’t have to get the goals, which I can slightly believe, but how will Real Sociedad lose guide to the extent that they will let the game in the score if 3 to 1 goal? The worst aspect is that Real Sociedad are playing in a home game, can you imagine, and they are busy playing rubbish. To be sincere. I was not happy with their performance tonight. 

Although I don’t fully watch the match, I was watching the game a bit, and from there, I know it will be very hard for Real Sociedad to equalise in the game seeing how they have already lost bitterly. Some might say Real Sociedad is not lucky today, but they really piss me off with their performance.

Going on the safe is always a good betting tactic but often a big income is not achieved, focusing on Inter and Juventus Vincenti can be there, Bologna is a little more risky as a bet but in any case I like your choices and I believe that the I will reply
Bologna's performance so far has been quite impressive. And currently, the match between Blogna vs Verona is still ongoing.
Bologna is leading with 1 goal
Yes, the current match is 1 - 0.

Not only that, Bologna really dominated the match, Verona seemed quite difficult to keep up with Bologna's attacks. It's just that unfortunately several shots on target for Bologna still failed and were pushed over by the Verona goalkeeper. This is quite impressive.

Verona played a hot game tonight; they were badly beaten by Bologna. Although I even thought Bologna wouldn’t be able to have more goals, when the game started, to the greatest surprise of my life, I saw they were giving Verona a hot dinner. Honestly, Bologna's performance today was so amazing and nice because they played a game with experience and passion. Seeing their performances in the first half made me impressed, but I never thought the game would be so hot for Verona. 

Verona also knows they can’t win the game that is hot; they lock so weak in the game, but they also tried their best more over the last game they played; if I am not mistaken, they also lost against Bologna, which was on December 22. For sure, yes, that was how the game also happened, but they always try their best because I wasn't even thinking that the game might end up in a draw until Bologna scored their second goal, which is when I lost hope in Verona.

Bayer Leverkusen have won four of their last five games and this goes to show they are in form, currently they are sitting at the top spot with 58 points and passing Bayern Munich with 8, who have 50 points. Some will say they have enough gap between them but I feel if they want to eliminate any form of competition, they dont need to take any game lightly, starting with this one because the more they win, more pressure will be added on Bayern Munich and they will be desperate to get a win and we know that sometimes, that forces a team to make mistakes to either lose or draw a game.
 Although Bayer Leverkusen are the clear favorites of this game, upsets can happen that is why they should not underestimate any team no matter how small. This game will be packed with goals but should be an easy win for Bayer Leverkusen.
I also sighted Bayer Levekusen winning today’s game. Because their opponent is not in that form, seeing this is like a full assurance that Bayer Levekusen will definitely win the game. Although it is true that we should not underestimate a team no matter the situation of the team, which is true, if we can check back the last five games that Bayer Levekusen played against Mainz, you will see that Mainz had 2 wins in the last 5 matches they played against Bayer Levekusen and Mainz had 3 losses, while Bayer Levekusen won 3 of the games and lost 2, so when you give a complete concentration on this, you will understand that Mainz has less chance of winning the game than Bayer Levekusen has, so I gave them the assurance to win the game.

Although, the point difference is not even comparable, Bayer Levekusen is very far from Mainz in the table, so to me, it will be very hard for them to go on a draw because there is a performance difference.

Roma and Feyenoord are currently in total egal, 1:1 in first match, 1:1 at the moment in re-match
not sure why, but have a sense that Feyenoord is passing through, and odds are pretty solid on that, so would put a live bet on them


The match is already in the injury minute; anything can happen, but I didn’t see any of them winning. I have high hopes for As Roma to win the match, so we will continue to anticipate and see the winner they have been given, and with an increase of 5 minutes, anything can happen. I hope AS Roma wins because their performance is better and more amazing than that of Feyenoord. I was even surprised when they got their first goal before AS Roma, but the game might still end in a draw, so we just need to anticipate the final results. 

Just to see that the game is over and it finally ended in a 1-1 draw 
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money on: February 22, 2024, 09:45:05 PM
I don't think both of you are wrong. Honestly, If I wanted to have fun, there are many things I could think of like video game, chess, table tennis etc. So when I gamble, I gamble with the mindset that I want to win and get some extra bulks which sometimes may not happen. There's nothing fun about losses and there's no one that will be losing and be happy. Like you said, why people say gamble for fun is just to make rookies not to see gambling as a do or die affair.

They both ain't wrong. Gambling is actually a way of making money, ofcourse a lot of lives have been transformed from huge gambling wins, but not all has been lucky to experience this transformation. Those who ain't lucky are the ones who often end up with one gambling problem or the other because they spend most of their time trying hard to recover all they've lost to gambling. Every gambler cannot deny the fact that they all aim for profits but then, we need to be careful so as not to cause more problems to ourselves while chasing Profits.

Many people often gamble under the disguise of having fun. It is very okay, at least it has helped a lot of people gamble within a favourable limit while still hoping to make more money. The whole idea of seeing gambling as a fun activity is to avoid over-reliance on gambling as a source of income and means of survival. I have no issues with people who feel gambling is all about fun, provided the fun activity doesn't cause any damage.

If you have told me that gambling is an activity to be self-reliant, I might agree, but you can't tell me that gambling is for fun; no one will use his money to lose; that is just the fact, and if really you are doing it for fun, I see no reason why you will get angry when you lose or even think of toping more money to play and get your money back; that shows that gambling is just a scheme to gain money, but people tend to deceive themselves by thinking gambling is for fun. I can assure you that there is no fun in losing; that is just a fact. 

All we need to understand about gambling is that it is a game of luck, so you should reduce your expectations of winning the game and focus on your budget. When you are up to the limit, whether you gain or lose, just leave immediately. Like me, when I am gambling, if I have gotten a little or a bit of the money I put in the game, I am definitely leaving and not continuing. I don’t emphasise getting twice or thrice of what I put in the game, which means the little I got is enough since it is not my money. I just played and won, which has helped me a long way not to get addicted to gambling.
312  Economy / Economics / Re: Isn't it all about money? on: February 22, 2024, 06:15:32 AM
What's the essence of all the hustle and bustle and learning and reading and keeping all the sleepless night? Isn't it all about money?

What if I don't want to go through all these process, don't care if I'm a graduate or not or if I'm good at speaking good English or not buth I'm just focused on how to make the money and end up making the money, won't the end justify the means?


Even if life is more emphasised on money, making more knowledge is also very important because when you say you will just look for the money and forget the knowledge, that means you won’t get rich unless it is lucky, because when you have the money without knowledge of specking and writing, who will do that for you? Or let’s say you will employ someone to do that for you. How sure are you that he will not cheat you? And again, our wealth will be limited because you will not have any expectations to know about bitcoin. Someone who doesn’t have any knowledge of school aspects will find it hard to understand how cryptocurrency works. 

To cut all the long discussion short, I will say that without knowledge, even if you get the money, you won’t utilise it the way it is supposed to be utilised, so knowledge is also important because being illiterate is like a disease that the only cure is having knowledge.

Girona is increasingly having difficulty maintaining their best form recently and they have lost 8 points in the last 3 matches in a row. Barcelona, ​​which is ranked 3rd, must take advantage of this opportunity to narrow the points gap, so Xavi needs to maximize the good potential of his players to win every match.

Of course Barcelona must improve because they still have the opportunity to compete with Real Madrid even though the two have a difference of 8 points. The next opponent is Getafe, but the match against Napoli is a tiring match which may affect their performance.
Girona had downtrend performance in last three matches, since hold draw by Real Sociedad then Girona defeated by Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao last two matches in a row. Bad result last several matches make Girona position keep pressure by Barcelona remaining two points left and has potential losses their 2nd standings if upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano fail get three points. Actually Barcelona will take advantage make their position keep close with Real Madrid and the top standings and next week has chance back to 2nd place if can secure three points against Getafe and other match Girona fail for beating Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona have little bad result after holding draw by Napoli in first leg Champion League match, I don't think their bad result will have impact for their performance in domestic league match against Getafe in this week.

Girona are not ready to lose the game; they will play with Rayo Vallecano because they won’t like to drop again in the table, and I don’t think they can have that point so soon to go back to their first place but will just go down in the table. Because they are currently on a trait by Barcelona because they are just 2 points ahead of them, which I know Barcelona will like to be the second in the table.
 
Although we can’t put any more hope on Girona because of their poor results, after they played a game with Real Sociedad and it ended up in a draw, after that they played two other matches and lost, so all I will say is let’s go forward and see if they will be able to defeat Rayo Vallecano on Monday. That is when we will know the faith of Girona in this season. That is when we will know if Girona is truly weak or what the problem is.

Arsenal vs Porto is surely the biggest disappointment for the fans because mostly were feeling they could be having the good number of goals but sadly at the end we have only one goal from the Porto into injury time which give them good win, and now we have to wait for the second leg game with how Arsenal will perform.

Porto have already won the first leg, which was a home game for them, and they got to that victory as a result of the thick defensive game they played, in which they ended up getting their goal in the extra minute. It is very surprising even to see that Arsenal were not able to break through the defence of Porto, but I know many fans of Arsenal will not be happy because of the yesterday results, but still, I can say that the goal that was scored by Galeno. It was just luck, or Arsenal players were already weak by the time they didn’t see the goal coming, but I know Arsenal will be ready to see them in the second leg. 

Arsenal playing the second leg of a home game will be so tremendous to Porto because they won’t take it a bit easy on Porto. I know Arsenal won’t let a team like Porto knock them out of the season in the round of 16, and Porto will also try to play defensively so that they can have hope to go to the quarterfinals, which will be very hard for them. Let's say Arsenal will be at home waiting for Porto to see what they caused Arsenal yesterday because Arsenal will be very sad to lose yesterday's game.

In fact, I noticed one of Napoli main players, namely osimhen, where his performance really declined because when controlling the ball, Osimhen was unable to get past the barcelona defense so he didn't create a single chance in the first half. Napoli fans really hope for osimhen in today match because if they fail to win at home it will be quite difficult for them to win in the second leg. There is still a lot of time in the second half where it is possible that there will be a goal in this match.
edit ; Barcelona leads 1-0

Unfortunately to say, but your expectations that Napoli will find it hard to score in the second half went wrong because presently Napoli has equalised with a goal, marking the present score 1-1, which we can still see who will be able to win the first leg, but to me, I see that Napoli won’t allow themselves to lose on a home game, and moreover, their star, or, let's say, best striker, is present in the game, which is Osimhen. Although he was the one that even scored the equalising goal, seeing the present situation of the game, this game might definitely end in a draw because both teams are performing absolutely well, no doubt, and some will say Napoli are in a better position than Barcelona, but we still anticipate the final result of the game.

Liverpool is having a lot of problems with players because they are in the injury area that cannot be confirmed, but this is a little fortunate because Luton's opponents are playing at Anfield at least they can be ambitious to win and maintain the current position.

Currently Luton is leading with 1:0 on  the12 minutes of the first half, actually they are very lucky with this early goal they scored because it will give them more energy to perform more than the way they are currently performing, Liverpool seem to have been making too much mistake on this match because if they had been more consistent they would have actually be the one to score instead of Luton because currently they have more possession than Luton but the difference is that Luton has the ability to utilize any opportunity they have, although with how the match is currently playing I think Liverpool will surely equalize because they are more in a good shape than Luton.
I did not expect that Liverpool would struggle to win against Luton Town because they are at home and Luton Town have failed to win three of their last matches in the Premier League. If Liverpool fails to win against Luton Town, Manchester City or Arsenal will overtake them at the top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool has taken the lead within two minutes and five seconds. The two goals was score with a brilliant header. The goal was equalized by Virgil on the 56th minutes, and the sec ond was by Gakpo on the 58th minutes. Liverpool are flying in the second half as they have done a welcome back.

Liverpool is pressuring their visitors, and the match is getting tensed. Luton shouldn't be a club that Liverpool will strive to win, and I hope to see more goals from Liverpool. Currently Liverpool have sealed up their defense and they wouldn't allow Luton to pass through.

Liverpool 2-1 Luton.

The game went more interesting when Liverpool got their first goal, which after some minutes they also got the second goal, but the most interesting part is how day just changed the game within a few minutes. I was even surprised when I saw Luton Town get the first goal in the match because I know Liverpool performance is not even close to being compared with them talking less of them struggling in the game, but the present results of 3-1 show that definitely Liverpool now owns that game, and if care is not talking, they will add more goals. 

Although the game is almost over, we can’t downgrade a minute in a game; it can change the narrative, so we will anticipate and see the final results of the game.

Manchester city literally had a tough game against Brentford because all their efforts to win the game with some levels of ease was actually resisted and stopped by Brentford and they(Manchester city) did dominated the first half so well yet ended it in a goalless draw. Brentford had a quiet impressive defense making it really difficult for Manchester city to penetrate despite all their attempts.

Manchester city had a good play and even had one of their goals canceled, going by the odd given them by the bookies I had taught it was going to be an easy game for Manchester city to win but maybe the absence of de bruyne was another reason they struggled to get as much goal as they should because Brentford wasn't expected to be a really strong team but they did performed really well and at some point they became a threat around the 18 yard box of Manchester city but city had a good defense too who couldn't allow for certain mistakes. Pepe even seem not really happy with the results tho they were able to get three points but they would gotten more goals.

Manchester City played a good game, but I also expected more than one goal, even though the one goal increased their points by three points, which makes them just a point lower than Liverpool. Still, the game was interesting, but what I was also impressed with more was the resistance and the defence that Brentford had against Manchester City. It was so hard for Manchester to penetrate the defence, so I can say Brentford came prepared not to lose against Manchester City, but they also know that it will be great luck for them not to lose that game. 

But I also thought that maybe it was because De Bruyne was not in the game that is the reason they find it hard to achieve more goals, but never the less, the game was very tough and the game results came as expected, which I put as Manchester City to win, and they won, so the results came as expected.

Inter vs Atletico Madrid

Look how Inter really didn't give any chance for Atletico Madrid to attack.
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/20/YEvUa.png

Atletico Madrid seemed to be really frustrated because they were so hard to attack to Inter's  defense. Actually, Both Atletico Madrid and Inter did great job, but in this case, Inter did much better in attacking. they are more offensive although they actually also faced some difficulties during the match.

Both teams implemented a different strategy, Inter Milan played with repeated attacks because they are targeting victory at home while Atletico Madrid applied a defensive game and hoped that the match ended in a draw unfortunately Atletico Madrid's defense managed to break in the 80th minute and Inter Milan locked the victory. Yeah even though Inter Milan won today but in the second leg we don't know how the two teams play what is clear is that Inter Milan is completely not safe.

I can also say that Inter Milan are not saved because if they won yesterday’s match against Atletico Madrid in a home game, what will they expect when they come for the second leg? Even though we know that yesterday’s game was a bit interesting, until the moment that Arnautovic won the first goal for Inter Milan, that was what made me feel somehow because Atletico Madrid are just playing a defending game, but Inter Milan keep attacking but also have their defence intact. I even taught Atletico Madrid to definitely equalise; it was so hard for them because they were not even able to make a single shot on target towards the net of their opponents.

But it is now a past story. What we are expected to look forward to is their second leg, which I know Atletico Madrid will never make easy on Inter Milan since there are even play and away game, not like this one that is a home game for Inter Milan, so I know Inter Milan will come ready so that they can make it to the quarterfinals, but I can say it will be very hard for Inter Milan to have such luck on Atletico Madrid, but say less. It is just a game; anything can happen.

No matter what happens with the league, Girona definitely achieved something nice. Also, the main problem I have with the current standings is that Barcelona is about to take over Girona for second place, sure they have a lot of points difference with Madrid and that is bad, but they are becoming second soon if Girona keeps this up, also Barcelona is at UCL last 16 if I am not wrong, meaning that they are going to end up beating Napoli, 9th in the Serie A right now and not doing that well at all.

This is why I think that Barcelona could be at quarter finals as well. In a year where Barcelona finishes second in the league and quarter finals in the UCL, doesn't feel like it is a bad enough result that they should fire Xavi, that was a HUGE mistake that they will regret eventually.

The trait that Girona is currently facing shows that if care is not talking, they will definitely drop down to the third on the table. They have only a two-point difference with Barcelona, which might give Barcelona more hope to play well. so that they can have some point and be able to see seen just as the second in LA Liga table while in the UEFA Champions League. I can say with a bit of a smile that Barcelona are capable of winning Napoli, but we can’t still downgrade. Napoli They can also surprise us by winning Barcelona with a good smile on their faces. Since it is just a simple prediction that we are all making,.

But to me, I think Barcelona deserves more than that, but Xavi is already a regret for Barcelona; if not being second at the LA Liga table and getting to the quarterfinals in the Champions League is not enough for the team but just a weak result, but if we are going with the performance of Barcelona this season, we can say it is still not a bad result for them, and we all know that they might fire Xavi after the season.

Sincerely speaking , I have been thinking on how to put up this post and the right board that will be suitable for it.
Insatiability has been one of the features of an individual and that has increased my level of curiosity because I don’t know when all the problems of men will be dully solved and that was why I came up with this topic (how much knowledge is enough to satisfy an individual).

Research has it that no man is satisfied with what he has . I also went further to check the profile of most prominent men that have existed and also existing and I realised that most of them have enough money yet the are still searching for more , they have power and yet they are still fighting to get more power ,they have assets yet they are still buying more properties, and I ask again when will they be satisfied?.

Additionally, I have seen so many academia , professors , yet they are still fighting for more knowledge, and the question here is when will they be satisfied?.

Even in this forum I have also seen high ranked members who are staff and with thousands of posts and merits yet they also post every day hoping to be merited as well , and the question again here Is when will they be satisfied?.

Finally , I have also seen my friends bitcoin wallet with so many coins in dollars yet they buy bitcoin every day , trade everyday , HODL coins everyday , so the question here is when will they be satisfied?
However, I will be very glad if someone can highlight more on this and educate me more thanks .

You have been a researcher; you are supposed to know all this, and you are still asking for more highlights, even though you have not mentioned that you are a researcher. All this information you brought out shows you definitely undergone research before you came to this destination. 

What I will like you to understand is that nothing is enough for anyone, whether it is wealth, money, bitcoin, houses, cars, or whatever you will think of, and that doesn’t mean those who have already achieved a lot of all you have mentioned are not satisfied. No, there are. But as you are getting more, you will also be needing more, so the end of looking for knowledge, wealth, and fame will definitely stop when you stop breathing, meaning when you die, if not, humans can’t stop having more dreams and expectations that you will even think they will forfeit or say they are enough with what they have. More needs are coming, and they will like to achieve them.
