As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, USA is one of those countries which favor illegal immigrants over legal immigrants. If you apply for a legal visa, you need to wait for 3-4 years to get a hearing. An easier route is to travel to Mexico and then jump the fence over Mexico-US border. Every year millions of illegal immigrants take this step. Now I don't know whether the Americans will ease visa rules for the FIFA World Cup of 2026. If they don't do so, then I don't expect a large attendance from third world nations such as India and Indonesia.

Yes, this is true, but there is a logical explanation for this - many residents of third world countries after entering the United States will "get lost" and stay there illegally. By the way, I don’t know how it is now, but earlier, for everyone entering the US legally, vaccination (from covid) was mandatory, and for illegal immigrants who crossed the border and demanded citizenship/asylum, there was no such requirement  Grin Thus, it was safer to enter the US illegally.

There are many people who think letting America host the 2026 world cup was a wrong decision and that they will have problems visiting this country to watch the World Cup games but I disagree and I think since America got the experience of hosting other great tournaments, they won't disappoint us and we are going to see a better world cup than what we saw in Qatar.
I don't think any other country can organize the World Cup in such a brilliant way in Qatar. The amount of money and initiatives they have spent around just one football world cup is not usually seen in other countries. Qatar finished the 2022 World Cup in good fashion.
It is not possible to enter America as easily as it is possible to enter other countries. When the World Cup is held in America, I hope that the American government will stabilize the rules for the World Cup visitors only.

Is that the only basis for a World Cup to be hosted greatly? I don't think so.

Yes, it's true that Qatar has poured so much resources just to build the much needed stadiums to cater the people who will wanted to see the games live but that is already expected because they are a Petro-country unlike any other countries that have hosted the World Cup before, and in-terms of money, I think it's already a fact that nothing can beat what the Qatar did but you'll see soon if Saudi Arabia can get ahold of the event by being a co-host because I bet they can host it in a way more luxurious manner.
That's true the visa policy is still a big question mark as visa are difficult for America and Canada and don't know how they'll ease their policies because that's the fact that people from third world countries can try to stay there illegally or other reasons .
Qatar set a standard hu hosting such world cup and that level can hardly be matched by any country .

Sunrise Hyderabad vs Royal Challenger Bangalore match will be played today at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad. Today's match will surely be a great game as RCB will want to win the match. If RCB wins today's match then there is a possibility of going to the knockout stage. Hyderabad have very few points in their points table and they have no chance of going to the knockout stage. But RCB has a chance and then they will get one more match if they can win today's match then their points will increase. And RCB will do enough to win the match so they can get a chance to go to the knockout stage.
An important match is going on at the moment. Royal Challengers Bangalore is batting extraordinary in today's match. They scored 88 runs against 186 without losing any wicket. It's really great performance for their team. Their current run rate is 9.68 and the Record run rate 9.5. At the moment they need 93 runs off 61 balls to win. However, it is not possible to say what will happen. Royal Challengers Bangalore needed to win in today's match. Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand, will not change in the defeat of winning.
Sunrise Hyderabad were good with bat but balling wise they failed in taking wickets and putting pressure in royal Challengers that's why they lost today's match .
Virat Kohli performance is commendable today he scored his century along with faf du Plessis a wonderful opening partnership by these two .

Education has 50% role in financial literacy rest is your experience and the things you see around.  Live by example is the best expression for this as you learn alot fron your experiences than from formal education so same is the case here financial literacy is best taught in fiance departments you learn how to handle lows and risks and how to take your firm out of that .

Bank totally works on investor money and saving deposits plus interest rates they apply on accounts.  Bank obviously knows how to make money from its customers along with facilitating them with the best .
Insurance policies are also major earning for banks .

I will take 1 billion and then take a financial education course. I'm sure financial education won't be that expensive. I know financial knowledge is very important, but it's not wrong if I have to look for it myself on YouTube, even if I get it for free or learn from my own experience, which I think is more effective. because compared to where it is difficult to get money, 1 billion will be more difficult to obtain than that education. we can set aside part of that one billion to get what business we want with investment and research.
Seriously it takes a lifetime to earn 1 million dollars so if I get an opportunity I will take that and than can go for all types of financial education to make use of that money to grow and invest.
Financial education is very important but still you can't earn this big amount with that too.

In today's world where nothing is easy to get and you have to earn every penny by working hard for that you should think twice before spending unnecessarily on lame things .
The points OP is mentioning are real and that's the reason of people to end up broke and depressed because of financial burden on them.
Try to optimize your expenses and plan your monthly budget accordingly so that you should have something by the end of the Month.
87  Economy / Economics / Re: Success is fundamentally determined by luck, not effort. on: May 18, 2023, 12:11:30 PM
In the past I would have opposed the OP's idea but having been in the business world long enough and gotten the opportunity to interact with multimillionaires I agree with your argument. One of the richest men in my country came from a generation of industrialist who thrived on monopoly. They lobby the government and crush whatever competition they face. He is rich in billions of dollars and luck played a role. How? First, he came from a very wealthy family which served to position him to achieve success in business. Second, he is lucky to always have the government on his side against competitions.
Yes you have  point there are some people who jnherit success like money and bank balances they don't have to work hard for that and life is a piece of cake fir them. They are born with a silver spoon in their mouth but there are few people who have to earn everything on their own they are self-made people who works hard to achieve everything in life .
So both the cases exists in our world and we experience many cases but they question Is who are the good ones those who got everything in their plates or those who worked hard for everything?
88  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: May 15, 2023, 06:02:55 PM
Definitely money is a motivating factor in your life and you do many things to get money because obviously when you are under financial pressure and you need money for your basic needs you will do anything to earn money .
This statement is becoming meaningless now that you can live happily without money  ,when you don't have anything to give to your family you can't be happy .
This happens because money has become a necessity that must be had to buy every basic need that we must have to survive. So that money becomes very important and it is only natural that money is considered as a motivation to work harder. But Money is not the goal. it's just that money is a medium or a way to get to our destination.
Everyone wants to live a comfortable life and for that they Need money to provide their family with normal daily commodities and to put food on table .
If you say money is not goal or everything that means you don't live for money , you know contentment and being happy in less
89  Economy / Economics / Re: Success is fundamentally determined by luck, not effort. on: May 15, 2023, 05:58:01 PM

Recently I have had numerous reunions with Uncles from my extended family. Some of them are successful businessmen for decades. They built their business from nothing and are living quite a comfortable life now. We had long conversations about life in general, including their key to success. I knew very well that they have been hard workers ever since I had a memory so I would contribute their success to endless efforts. However, one thing they had mentioned in common was luck. They believe pure luck made them meet and grasp those opportunities and become successful rather than their smartness and efforts. I've thought about this before and couldn't agree with this more. They've set very good examples to me, including my father, and now I tend to focus more on work itself consistently and let luck or fate takes the rest.
I think that luck is the thing which creates billionaires. As for people who achieved financial stability and some grade of prosperity, this is more about dedication and being smart (as you correctly mentioned). Making efforts is, I think, enough to have a good, or even really high income, luck is the main factor in billionaire-scale earnings.
Billionares are created by hardworking people who are genious and who make use of every opportunity given to them,  who have good leadership qualities who know how to make use people potential.
Luck can be a factor in success but that's secondary , primary thing is your efforts and determination.

The 62nd Match has already started today in Indian Premier League. Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad these two teams have entered the field to play. Gujarat Titans batted first and gave a target of 188 runs. Gujarat Titans team batsman Shubman Gill got out with 101 runs off 58 balls. Sai  Sudharsan got out with 47 runs off 36 balls. These two batsmen batted very well. The rest of the batsmen of Gujarat Titans team performed very poorly. Now Sunrisers Hyderabad came to bat. They scored 123 runs in 16 overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad team batsmen are under a lot of pressure  is in
Sunrise Hyderabad started really rough but Heinrich Klaseen brought his team to this decent point where they still needs 56 runs on 16 balls. Gujarat Titans balling was good they didn't allow SRH to score easily.
Match is still in Gujarat Titans hands.

What to do with all guy who loss money to stock market

They are all promised to have retirement, stable and passive income, happy ending, fast car, fast house, fast woman, big fat profit, millionaire, high risk high return. Some of them got into big loan and loss everything, while they are still having to pay their loan. Are they gonna get a refund? The broker tell me stock market would make a come back again, it is just a cycle thing, technical correction, everybody would get their refund when market come back again. Now is the best time to buy low, when they market come back, it is your chance to retire young retire rich.

I told broker this is snake oil, and it is over. He respond it is not, you see, everybody too is doing this shady business, everybody doing it, you know, ape together ape is strong, when ape is strong, police is weak, law enforcement is weak, they can't fight the ape when ape together. Smiley

If you catch the stock market on the rise, you will make a profit, but the reverse is also the case. You are trading on the stock market because you accept this. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. What matters is how you act in your next move. In every market where there is risk, this is what you experience. That's why you can lose while someone else wins. This is a normal case.
What to do with someone who looses in stock market,  I guess give him some awareness and knowledge of stocks and the possibilities of stock market like when its up or down and when to invest .
Stock market Is the most risky market and if you are investing in stocks make sure you know where you stand .

Well, my mother taught me to work for myself and the same goes for the female members of the family. We do not depend on anyone else to be "rich"... because that puts a hook in you.

There are no guarantee that "money" will bring you happiness, so people should rather get married for "love" and then work hard together to build wealth. It is so sad that people are becoming so materialistic and that "money" becomes so important in people's lives.... just enjoy life with someone you love.  Wink

That is why other females marry an old, rich man so that they become rich and can inherit all of the things that the old man owned. Those kinds of people are really desperate in life, for sure. Even in our family, we thought to work hard and make yourself rich, not find rich people, because for sure, if you are just after money, life is very frustrating. Yes, you do have money, but you don't love your husband or wife.
This mindset is very common now although this is not right to have this approach to life and to start a new chapter just on basis of money is totally wrong . You can marry a rich person but you have to spend life with a person not with his monet or bank balance , yes money is important for survival but not that important to leave everything aside for this .

Bangladesh ended on 274 and I have to mention that there are 26 extra given from Ireland. Without that, Bangladesh wouldn't have been able to reach 250. The late middle order and low order absolutely performed badly in this match.
Right now Ireland is doing well to keep wickets in hand. Bangladesh is not being able to get regular wickets like Ireland did. Ireland needs 119 from 17.4 overs. Even though the required run rate is almost at 7, I would say that it is still doable with having 7 wickets in hand.
Ireland are in very good position to win this game and level the series 1-1. They need 49 runs in 44 balls with 5 wickets in hands. After doing all the hard work Ireland are losing wickets in quick succession. Its a game very much in favor of Ireland but if they keep losing wickets like that then they are likely to lose this game. Its a good opportunity for Ireland to draw an ODI series against a test playing side.

The way Ireland started their innings I thought Ireland would win today's match very easily. They collected 109 runs in the second wicket pair. But at the end of 45 overs, the Ireland team collected 237 runs after losing 6 wickets. Ireland needs 38 runs from 30 balls. It doesn't seem easy to me. Lorcan Tucker and McBrine are batting at the crease. If Tucker can stay at the crease then Ireland has a chance of winning. But the bowling of Bangladesh's bowlers is now very controlled. They want to win the series 2-0. Bangladesh will try their best to win the match.
Hard luck for Ireland although they played really good but still they couldn't win the match , last over by Hasan mahmud was really good and responsible he didn't allow Ireland to score a boundary even and Bangladesh won because of that over.

~snip~
Hosting the World Cup in Qatar was proof that money is what defines the course of the biggest football event in the world.
FIFA CEO sacked? That's the least that should happen, don't believe that corruption ends there, because this was just a "deal" made because someone needed to be punished, but I'm sure there's a lot more rotten garbage in Fifa than just the CEO.

I believe the 2026 world cup will be "less corrupt" as FIFA needs to clear its name after what happened in Qatar.

At the end of the day money can buy anything, really.

The whole purpose of FIFA is to maximize their revenue through ticket sales, sponsor deals, broadcast licenses, merchandise, etc.

Decisions will be made based on dollar values, that's for sure.
I am personally still convinced that the next World Cup will not be able to host like Qatar. Because Qatar is a very rich country with a lot of money, and they have shown the whole world how to organize the World Cup in the best way, and I believe Qatar's World Cup will be the best in history.

The money they spent on the world cup was a lot but on the other hand, the world cup we saw in Qatar was not good for the people who visited this country to watch the games because of many rules in Qatar also in Qatar there were many workers they died because of the hard work for the world cup and building the stadiums.
That's true the amount of effort Qataris put in the last world cup way was too much and no country can do something like that including America, Canada.  Qatar planned for everything the stadiums ,environment, fans , teams and their settlement in that time there was a celebration going on in Qatar at that time so that's the fact.
We have to wait for 2026 to see how 3 countries will think of these things.

Today's 3rd ODI match of Ireland vs Bangladesh has started.Ireland won the toss and decided to bowl.Now Bangladesh came to bat.They scored 88 runs in 14 overs.Bangladesh has lost 2 wickets so far.If Bangladesh bats well in today's match, Bangladesh will score good runs. Bangladesh team will have a big chance to win. Bangladesh team batsman Rony Talukdar got out with 4 runs off 14 balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto got out with 35 runs off 32 balls.

Bangladesh are going good so far, as at the end of 23rd over they have scored 135 runs and lost only 2 wickets. Bangladesh will defiantly try to score around 300 runs today to win this series. I don't know what will be ideal target which Ireland will be able to chase successfully. We saw Irish bowlers failed in last game to defend a target of 320 runs. The problem with Ireland is when there batter performs there bowling fails and vice verse.  
Bangladesh is playing well, they have wickets in hand. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored good in the last match but not so much in this match even 35 is not bad. Because every day the game will not be the same. Instead of Najmul Hossain Shanto, today team captain Tamim Iqbal may have taken that responsibility. He has already scored 69 runs and if he plays with confidence, he might have a chance to score a century. At this moment, the current run rate in favor of Bangladesh stands at 5.61. If Tamim Iqbal can last up to 40 overs then expecting a big score in the match and that will not be easy for Ireland to chase.
Till now at 40 overs Bangladesh has scored 219 runs with loss of 5 wickets the runrate is good but this pitch is for batsman and with that this runrate is bit low . Still Bnagladesh have 10 overs left and they can make the most of these overs and give target of 300 which Ireland have to chase.

Luck comes after efforts and hard work  and success comes with your hardwork and determination so this concept is wrong your luck can't determine you or your success.  If you want to succeed in life you can't just sit idle and wait for luck to work for you instead of that you have to move and put effort in your work to get success.

I actually have a feeling that the next generation of the Indian cricket team is going to be very good. We are already seeing that players like Suryakumar performing really well. And there are a lot of players in India waiting for a chance to play for the Indian national team.
The entire cricket world knows how strong India is in cricket. It's not build in a day. Due to hard work and effort they get this, India is currently leading the cricket world. It is said that the Indian Cricket Board is a factory for producing good cricketers. Where the number of good cricketers is very high. They are capable of producing good cricketers to play in every form of cricket. Suryakumar has become one of the talented players in Indian cricket. Who is fit enough to play in every format of cricket and that is proved in the past.

India and Australia are two teams who have always dominated the cricket world because of their game , although they specually india haven't won important cups but still they are always on top and they are entertaining the world with their  cricket .

Bangladesh is currently in a very good position in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Bangladesh is currently at number three in the points table of the Super League, leaving teams like India, Pakistan, Australia and South Africa behind. Bangladesh's incredible success in ODI cricket. 

Currently, Bangladesh is having its best time in ODI cricket.  After playing 24 matches, New Zealand has 175 points in the Super League and England has 155 points after playing the same number of matches. And after playing 23 matches, Bangladesh is at the third position in the points table with 145 points. 

Asia Cup and ODI World Cup are going to be held in the future. If Bangladesh can maintain this consistency, then maybe the fans of Bangladesh can expect a trophy in a big tournament.
The Bangladesh cricket team is currently pushing itself forward tremendously. Maybe they want to do something great in the next World Cup. In fact, my personal opinion is that the type of game that Bangladesh team has, they are well qualified, if they are properly trained and practiced, then this team will become a much better team.
Already Bangladesh team is in good position. Even with the leading teams the performance is no down in means. In recent ODI matches against India and England, Bangladesh were good and won the series against India. Even with England they won a match and the other two matches were close. The country gives good support to its players, moreover the upcoming World Cup being hosted by India gives them an added advantage to perform better as both the countries have the similar weather conditions.
Climate of Bangladesh and India are very similar. The problem that Asian countries face when playing in Australia, Africa or England conditions, I hope that playing in India will not be a problem for Asian teams because the conditions of most of the Asian countries are similar. I think Chandika Hathurusingha, the current coach of Bangladesh, is playing the biggest role behind such a change in Bangladesh.  Because since he joined Bangladesh as the new coach, Bangladesh has started playing fearless cricket. 

Before that, Russell Domingo has been serving as the head coach of Bangladesh for a long time but he was not able to contribute well for the Bangladesh team even though he was hired by BCB with a huge amount of money. Later BCB appointed Chandika Hathurusingha as the head coach of Bangladesh instead and under him Bangladesh is currently doing very well.
That's right Bangladesh have shown great improvement in last year and won almost all the major series which led them to move upwards in points table .
Now this series with Ireland is like cherry on top and they are gaining more points,  their batting side is marvellous which is their strength too.

I never ever thought that Rashid Khan can also bat, I never expected him to bat so agressively. It might be because of money or it might be because he loves to play in IPL.

He was always good with the bat, he did show his hitting abilities in BBL so virtually no doubt about his recent bravado. Although i do have a reservation about his last inning in the context of match and  MOM award.

The match was already lost when he came to bat and it was more like stat padding when you have nothing to lose, that's how i took his last night inning which was a blinder and crazy af.
Rashid Khan last night performance was really mind blowing although he knew they couldn't win the match still he tried till the last ball and scored some really important runs   if the player next to him have contributed a little things would have been different.
Mumbai Indians were good overall that's why they have won the match.
