It ain't meant to be easy

[Alpha Marine]

We all wish life was easier, but it's not so we've got to make do with what we have.

The degree you want, the career you want, and the business you dream to have won't come easy. I'm of the notion that life doesn't want you to succeed. If you run away from every obstacle then you will never achieve your goal.

I keep seeing forum members make complaints about not getting merits and all. It will be very hypocritical of me to say we shouldn't care about merit and ranking up, but your desire to rank up should lead you in the right direction.
The goal is to learn and grow, then make meaningful contributions that can grow other forum members. It's not going to be easy, and it will take time, but it will be worth it in the end.

This doesn't only apply to the forum but to every aspect of life.
Take a business for example.
The goal of a business is to make a profit but you can't make a profit if certain things are not done right. If you just pursue profit without thinking about other factors, your business will fail.
If your product/service is top-notch, your marketing, packaging, and distribution are done right along with other factors, you will make a profit.
The same thing applies to every aspect of life. A degree, career, or anything at all.

If your first encounter with crypto was a scam altcoin, it doesn't mean you should wash your hand off of crypto. If you're still interested in it, learn from that bad situation and gain more experience from it.

If you previously made an investment in Bitcoin and you lost, it doesn't mean you should give up on Bitcoin; learn from it and re-evaluate your decision.

So don't think Bitcoin and Bitcointalk are any different from life.
You may look at a forum member with legendary rank and you want to achieve that, it's good that that motivates you, but you have to know that they didn't just achieve that overnight. They learned, grew, improved themselves, and improved others to get to that level.
Whatever you want, work hard and smart for it because it won't be handed to you on a platter.

I doubt this topic belongs in this thread but you have made a point though. And i can't agree more with you. Nothing in the world is easy even crypto itself seems to be so easy and a lot of people think (All we have to sit in front of laptop/mobile to make money). But in reality a person at start can not manage to sit for 4 to 8 hours in front of devices. Then these types of persons leave the industry or that work by complaining the work is not suitable for them. Actually what you are trying to do here is motivating new comers to not to leave this platform because many people do leave this platform for many factors.

Overall, we should also support them like we were supported when we were new, my local community members really motivated me encouraged me and cared about me in many ways that i can not think of. So, whenever a newbie came in our local community or even in any board i when see there post i also try to encourage them Because nothin is easy for anybody everybody have to make efforts to achieve something and that how economy works too. So we have to be hardworking but at the same time smart worker too.

Life! There isn't any direction to life, its multi directional and everyone has got an individual approach towards it. Depending on what side you pick or how you choose to approach it, it might be favourable our brings you to a low part of existence.

People come to the forum haven't been orientated by those who happens to have dropped by through some existing users while others might stumble on it from surfing the Web but then, has different purposes. It's important that people understand that no matter what the purpose might be, there a different means to archiving them. You might have to pursue a thing by pursuing something else. The good book says, seek first they kingdom and that entails the knowledge of thy kingdom.

Translating that to the forum, it talks about the Knowledge its got and to life, it talks about certain principles that revolved about not having things come free or just happens. Conscious efforts have to be made in other to archive.

Life is never been easy or something that you could really put that assurance with because everything would really be depending on how hard you do work and made out some good decisions which would really be that a

deciding factor on what fate you would really be having, but of course it would really be needing some sort of or mix of luck because there are moments or times on which this thing is really that relevant or been that applied.
This is why trial and error would really be a never ending kind of cycle in life on which there are ones who do really succeed and there are ones who do still try even up to now and there are ones who do really fail.
Its never been easy when trying out to achieve on something what others had already achieved. If we do pertain about the forum ranks then before merit system had been applied then it is really just that easy to
level up or rank up but on the time that merit was implemented then this is where those new comes or members would really be struggling on ranking their accounts which if you wont really be that
doing your best to be contributive into this forum then you wont really be getting any merits at all.

It is not easy to form a consistent attitude in pursuing what you want because there is a level of boredom when you don't get it. Conversely, excessive expectations can cause a person to experience a level of saturation and eventually have to stop. Doing something is not easy and we need to see a way to achieve it and most importantly don't think too much about big targets and do it in a relaxed manner by continuing to gain knowledge, slowly we will arrive at the target we want.

Everyone's abilities are certainly different, but everyone can achieve their desires in their own way. Get to know your own abilities, continue to increase knowledge by reading and stay optimistic by maintaining consistency, that's how we will draw conclusions about what we want to pursue.

You speak well, but it hasn't always been simple, especially for young men and boys these days. If you're a man and you don't have money or any other sources of income, people will think you're useless and even some of your family members will think you're lazy because you didn't go to work or find something that will put money in your pocket. As a man or person who is willing to improve his life or build something that will make him happy in the future, you must try and never give up on everything you are witnessing because to succeed in life, you will encounter many things that you could never have imagined in your life.

There are many people in the forum today who, when asked how long they were in the forum before getting to the stage or the rank they are today, are unable to explain it because they were patients for a very long time before getting there. Attending the forum is not something that you think you start getting when you come, like merit or start making it in. So, my recommendation to every new member of the forum or any member of the forum who is grumbling about how to acquire merit or he or she wants to rank is to bear in mind that everything in the forum is to be patient and even investing is to have patience, Patience is the best key for everyone in life.

When you discover your direction in life, it makes life easy at the moment because I have seen many people doing what will not favour them in life because they didn't know their direction in life. And for you to achieve your goal in a particular business you need to work hard to save some money, you will use to lay a good foundation for that business that will make your generation to live to remember you for in the society. Giving up in Bitcoin investment is not a good idea than to discover where the mistakes is coming from and how to find solution to it so that you will not experience losses from it again.

[DeathAngel]

Life is tough for most people, many times during a lifetime. Not many people have an easy life, some think having money makes life easy. Being rich gives you opportunities & you can buy material things but it won’t buy you happiness. Regarding crypto, making money is not easy, unless you get very lucky day trading then you are probably going to have to be very patient & HODL for many years. You will go through character testing dips where your net worth plummets. Patience will reward those of you who are of strong mind/will.

One reason why people miss direction in life is competition. People don't understand that everyone is unique so they want to be like someone else. Some people are talented in sports but they choose to become businessmen because they want to be like another person. The same thing also happens in business when some people choose to go into areas they do not know about because they think that others are making more profit from the business area. Success requires focus and determination. To achieve success we need to be persistently diligent until we attain our goals.

Everything that happens in our life is a process in living life, maybe not complaining about every process that we go through will make it easier for us to go through the stages in this life, in going through this life process there are some people whose process is very smooth and some have a process that may be unlucky for them. Doing crypto trading is not easy as people say, good knowledge is needed in this matter and we must be able to control ourselves in trading so that we don't experience losses that we don't want.

Newbies that come here see the potential that the forum can earn through the use of the signature campaign, but upon exploring, they knew that the merit system is one of the requirements to rank up, and most like the campaign right now requires at least a minimum rank of a full member, but if they learn more and invest time in the forum how to get merit, they don't need to worry about too much to have this because being knowledgeable member that could contribute a lot of continents merit will follow. Also we have a lot of boards that they can contribute with so they don't need to settle themselves on the top merit-earned board. Theres a lot of information in the forum that they can use in their journey in the forum so earn a profit, the use of it is to help each other to gain knowledge.

[Plaguedeath]

Yesterday was easier, that's why something that old people can easily achieve but now it's become harder and almost impossible due to high competition. Don't forget about privilege too, it's not always they're lazy, but they just can't due to their tiring routinity.

Example you were born from rich parent, you have everything and you don't have to work since you're can study harder. While the unlucky child, they need to work when they're still in elementary school, they don't have any time since they're tired.

[slapper]

But think about this: Despite being genuine, life's challenges might not always be a sign that it doesn't want you to succeed. Instead, growth occurs as a result of a path of learning and earning. People don't just develop by juggling through hoops; they also grow by steadily ascending a stairway. Despite the fact that they have nothing to do with growth, people frequently ascend stairs

Yes, failure contributes to learning in terms of Bitcoin and Bitcointalk. Trees and Bitcoin both have growth rings that indicate age and periods of abundance and scarcity. So even if your cryptocurrency interactions are unsuccessful, like an unwatered plant, you must keep trying, keep learning, and keep believing in Bitcoin, lettuce, or any other produce

[dothebeats]

Life is like that. As bittersweet as it is it cannot be all success. Sometimes despite having the drive, inspiration, and motivation to work and invest things just don't always go the way we expect and want them to. There will be struggles along the way, there will be obstacles that will make us want to just drop everything and quit. However, sometimes all we can do during those hard days is grit our teeth and push forward, may it be by continuing and hoping for the best or quitting to open new opportunities. Life goes on, and so will the struggles and failures but no one succeeds sweetly without those bitter times.

Not all Legendary ranks are created equal, I've seen some of them that's still active that hasn't reached 2k merits yet and they've been here even before the merit system. Don't just say that it's difficult because the circumstances says it should be, if you think of forum as a means to make money, it's going to be difficult for you because you're trying hard to make posts even though some of those posts don't make sense, you know what you lose when you're a try hard, the enthusiasm. When you're not enthusiastic, you're not ready to learn and you end up not welcoming new ideas to further the discussions which is what the forum should be used in.

Actually Bitcointalk newbies didn't know the real usecase of this forum and they just thinking that it is place to join signature and earn weekly. If anyone has this idea in mind then Its very hard to achieve this goal as all work to be done here for getting Merit and rankup.

Bitcointalk is place to learn many things about BTC and crypto and if anyone has good posting quality, habits of helping other and at the same time warns about crypto scam and also discussion on new technology then i think newbie can become  more useful members then old members. I agree that comparing with old users whose awarded free Merit its hard for newbie to rankup but everything is possible with hardwork and i hope one has all above quality then he will rankup more quickly then old users.

[mindrust]

It ain't meant to be hard either.

There is the hard way, then there is the easy way.

Sometimes the easy way is way too obvious but we still can miss it and go with the harder way... For example, holding bitcoin is one of the most foolproof way of making money but how many of us follow this strategy? Not many. There are hundreds of thousands of people think they can get rich trading alts but we already know most of them will end up being losers don't we?

Life is pretty easy when you let it be. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

You're right, mate. People who are rich already have what they need, and even their children today have the money to go anywhere in this world where they wish to study. They have enough resources to sponsor them in order to go there, and that is why even after school they use what they have to get what they want, which is a job. And the poor ones who use their lives to struggle, as if they will kill themselves, you will see them yet to be employed.

Unlike the poor ones or those with less privilege, these people are struggling every day to get what they want; some of them are even in school, and they are sponsoring themselves. As you said, it is true that it is not laziness, but what they will use to get what they want is not there.

The life of everyone will be easy if they become thankful for what they have because its reality that there is no body who achieved every desire in life. Some people thinks that other is happy because they have lots of money but they don't know that having lots of money does not magnify your happiness.

We should not always follow others but should make our lives as everyone desires to have life like this. Same thing people do with trading as they don't know anything but follow others because they become rich due to trading but one thing is important here that success is for those who are talented in that field. May be you are not good in trading but good in business so always select that field in which you are knowledgeable and you have command on that things so you will be successful.

Well indeed happiness is when satisfactions are met but question is, when would you be satisfied? Therefore, it is a normal drive for use to desire more and consequently as long as we are seeking or asking for more, that is where we would feel the struggles or that life is hard. On my end, I'd prefer experiencing this feeling simply because it means I am doing something in order to earn or for situations to be better. We have to acfept the fact that struggles aand hardships are necessary. What's not is to end up struggling in an unending manner because that would simply mean you are doing something wrong which is why problems are still there.
