It ain't meant to be easy

[ajiz138]

Plans for how to mitigate risk and manage problems can be a good thing. But too much planning is not necessary for everyone to manage things. The reason why people don't follow difficult things is because they don't want to come out of their comfort zones. But we should try to and face the problems and solve them. This comes in every aspect of life including bitcoin, investments and career.

In trading, indicators and all may show bad outcome, trading is difficult but trust in your abilities and continue to be in the game without being emotional. If you keep correcting your mistakes and playing it safe you will profit in the long run.

Because not everything that is planned will be a good result, at least with a lot of plans can determine which ones will work including those who choose those that are not high risk, I know most people don't want to get out of their comfort zone because it is a protection for them to cover their needs so they will continue to be defended.
Whatever plan we are talking about there is business, investment and trading that must be tried and faced with the problem of the risk of losing it.

For those who have a strong mentality and are not easily discouraged they will overcome the obstacles including the losses faced in trading at the beginning, after starting a long enough journey he will definitely find where he is wrong and will correct it in order to produce long-term results, this includes business, investment and trading.

Sometimes it is the journey and not the goal. Most often than not, we find more value in what we learn from the journey of reaching the goal compared to the outcome it leads us to. The lessons we learn, the struggles, and the people we meet that is basically connection, allows us to grow and be smarter for our future self and the paths we are soon to take.

The ideas around the journey and the goal are good ones, because ultimately there are going to be a lot of points in life in which we set goals and then we change the goals and sometimes we completely fail in our working towards filling the goals, and we likely even learn along the way, that we likely need to have a bunch of intermediary goals that we need to accomplish before reaching the larger goals, and some of the goals are going to be much easier to achieve, and sometimes we will need to abandon certain paths or even tweak some of the goals along the way.

Failure is inevitable, and sometimes we might be able to frame the failure as success because of what we learned from the failure.. but then again if we are spinning too much, sometimes people will consider us as a phony and we do sometimes need to take responsibility and even talk about some of our failures in order to show parts of our character and to show what kinds of trade offs we sometimes are willing to make.

Because sometime, even you have the best analysis, indicator, or signal, you still onna be wrong. That is a normal part of the game. It doesn't mean you are going to fail, nor if you are going to lose all yur investment. It just mean you lose. Because the market is very unpredictable. The outcome is uncertain so you have to bet and decide which side of the market are you in and when will you participate as much as timing is one of the important factor.

You're right. There should be something that we never expect to happen. Although we already made a good analysis with a proper way, it doesn't guarantee to run smoothly. That's why we need a second plan. So, if the main plan seems not effective anymore, we can change to the alternative plan (second plan).

If we try to predict a kind of trajectory regarding the future, we need to prepare for a variety of possibilities, and that will truly tend to be more than just two directions that something could go.  So then we have to question ourselves about how much our preparations are allowing us to be prepared for a variety of directions.. and at what points are we going to take some kind of actions or otherwise just to continue to ride through our previous commitment.

Edit:  I had been thinking about this point over the last 12 hours or so, and it seems that some kind of an example might be helpful.

Let's say that a person makes a plan that s/he is going to walk across Europe and Asia to start out in London and going to end in Tokyo.. and that tentatively, s/he believes that it is going to take 4-6 years to accomplish.. So s/he has certain ideas regarding modes of transportation, has some budgetary ideas and has even plotted out stops along the way and has given some timelines staying in each place, so the overall goal is defined generally with some specifics, but it is also likely that there are going to be tweaks of the plans along the way that would change some of the stops, some of the timeline, some of the budgeting and perhaps even change some of the modes of transportation.

Maybe this is not the greatest of analogies, because if we go back to the idea of having a lifetime investing goal that might have objectives to build wealth and/or to become richer with the passage of time so that at some point in life there is no longer any need to work and that the wealth that was built will support the later lifestyle, and the person can live off of the fruits of his/her earlier labor, then there would be hopes and expectations that wealth is building along the way, even if there might be periods of set-backs and even mistakes that are so great that trajectories are changed (and sometimes the mistakes or the change of trajectories might not be realize until several years after the earlier incidents had occurred to realize that the path (and maybe even the expected destination might need to end up getting changed) had been changed by the earlier events).

In crypto, the market will be always unpredictable. Current news/issues can change the trend in a short, green market can turn to be red just in a single day. It is the reason why crypto business is categorized as a high risk.

Regarding the outcome, as long as you understand enough the characteristic of crypto market, you know when to exit and get profits. Crypto has a bearish and bullish season, just choose the right time for entry and exit. It is not very difficult if someone wants to invest a long time, at least for 3-4 years. But it becomes hard if someone wants to get the outcome as soon as possible.

I find your gobbledy-gook talk about crypto to be somewhat meaningless.  Now if we are talking about bitcoin, then likely we should not be fucking around too much with trading, but we can figure out various BTC accumulation strategies to just continue to build our bitcoin holdings.  

When you are talking about getting in and out and taking profits, then sure you could be taking profits in dollars or you could be taking profits in bitcoin... and anyhow it would likely be a bit better to clarify what you are talking about when you refer to general ideas about crypto because that does not make very much sense outside of distinguishing bitcoin from shitcoins, and perhaps clarifying that your strategy for bitcoin should be different from getting in and out of various shitcoins.. including that maybe you might even be attempting to analyze whether or not your shitcoin is going to go up or down relative to what bitcoin is doing.. but then hey, when members speak in vagueness in regards to throwing around the term crypto, it tends to cause me a considerable amount of confusion regarding that vague way of expressing themselves, even if they might have some decent strategies of getting in and out of various shitcoins.. but then how are you measuring progress.. in dollars (that seems lame) or in bitcoin (that is better, but why didn't you specify that as part of what you are doing?  rather than using vagueness in your description?).

Plans for how to mitigate risk and manage problems can be a good thing. But too much planning is not necessary for everyone to manage things. The reason why people don't follow difficult things is because they don't want to come out of their comfort zones.

I am struggling to understand when a plan is said to be too much because the last time I checked, planning is actually the absence of irrational decision and action. I think what you might be mistaken for planning might actually be fear. I know a lot of people who are too afraid of making mistakes, hence, they end up developing fear at any slightest opportunity. I have worked with few of them and they always fail their medical test due to high blood pressure.

I am a bit bothered when I see people placing too much emphasis on planning, and surely there needs to be some planning for any action that is taken, but some of the best ways of learning is to start to act and then to learn from the action and to tweak the plans based on what is learned from the actions.  I understand that many times the foundational plans need to be in place prior to action, but there are a lot of places where action helps to solidify the plan.

I am yet to see what can beat planning because every great success depends on it. Even the popular DCA that  I have recently starting using in buying Bitcoin is a clear case of planning. Planning can never be too much....

DCA into bitcoin is one of those places where you can start to act almost right away.. because it does not take a lot to get started.  

On the other hand getting into a romantic relation, starting a business or buying a house. those might need greater levels of planning, but one of the greatest things about DCA'ing into bitcoin is that you can get started right away with ONLY $1  per day and then figure out the details as you go.... Of course, if you want to lump sum invest into bitcoin, and to take out debt and employ sophisticated financial tools (practices), then you likely need more planning.

[Fara Chan]

well, actually it will look easy if we do it even if it looks difficult. Actually what makes us difficult is only our thoughts. if we try to do it, even if it is really difficult we have tried our best. it is better than not doing it at all

Difficulty and ease always go hand in hand in all things, so that the assessment of the ease and difficulty of a job is only known when we have done it in our own way. Because sometimes the method taken by other people can also be easier than the method we do in a job that is no different, so difficulties are not only formed from our thoughts. But it is also formed from the way we take things in order to get maximum results without shifting from the basic goals that we have previously thought about for ourselves.

However, some people actually don't want to try doing something that they consider difficult, but maybe they don't know where to start, so up to now there are still many people who prefer to look for other, easier paths because maybe they know where to start. Even though difficulties are only visible when someone has not tried it, but when they have tried it and let's say they still haven't succeeded, someone will definitely look for solutions to solve the problems they face in order to overcome the obstacles that are in front of them.

Different people, different ways, and different perspectives. Some individuals would rather find the easiest way to perform a task that will lead them closer or directly to their goal while others will grit through the difficult task to reach the same thing. Whichever we clasify as we all share the same drive to reach a goal we have set for ourselves, we just have different takes on various things that leads to different decisions and actions.

[Mr.right85]

There is barely any lesson in one having to archive a goal. Let’s say, you had a goal of getting a $100 in a day and out of the blue, you had someone hand you a $100. You might have archived your goal in that day but, there isn’t any process yo it and as such, no lesson out of it other than, you having a thought and you archived. Arguably, one might say, the process to archiving starts with a thought but, is that all about it? Of course not.

When one gets to set a goal, you process means or steps that you could take to archive that goal, go through those steps, the huddles that would play in to thwart the process and how you handled them, there you would find life’s lesson to not just handling the process to archiving your aims and goals but, how you get to manage and build relationships with the people you meet on the way.

The lesson to arching a goal always resides on the path, the process.

I am struggling to understand when a plan is said to be too much because the last time I checked, planning is actually the absence of irrational decision and action. I think what you might be mistaken for planning might actually be fear. I know a lot of people who are too afraid of making mistakes, hence, they end up developing fear at any slightest opportunity. I have worked with few of them and they always fail their medical test due to high blood pressure.

Am trying to correlate how fear and failing yo plan really fit in. Because, I think it ought to be the other way around where, the fear of failure would motivate you to make proper plans. Don’t know if you get what am saying but, you might just help me out yo understand what your implying.

I am a bit bothered when I see people placing too much emphasis on planning, and surely there needs to be some planning for any action that is taken, but some of the best ways of learning is to start to act and then to learn from the action and to tweak the plans based on what is learned from the actions.  I understand that many times the foundational plans need to be in place prior to action, but there are a lot of places where action helps to solidify the plan.

Acting as a means of devising and solidifying a plan,
That’s in a way to agree to a notion that, there must be a plan in sight first that acting could solidify! Wouldn’t that be the right thing? Because, you can’t just have a goal and start acting with the hope of making errors and then, you start reviewing/devising a plan from that. A plan would have to be in place first I think.

[Odohu]

I am yet to see what can beat planning because every great success depends on it.

There are plans that can't be followed and the best result comes out with the unplanned ones. But sure being well prepared and planned is going to give you t he upperhand for the better results and greater success.

Ditching a plan to follow alternative course of action could as well be part of planning. Planning entails steps to follow to achieve a target and it also put into consideration,  some things that must remain a constant. When these constants are not met, there is always alternative course of action. If you have been able to know about programming, there is something called conditional statement which specify what should be done if certain conditions are met... this is how planning is done.

There are always unforseen circumstances in life, so when you plan and in the course of implementation,  you find alternative course that is better, you have to adjust... planning is not an oath so you can't be so rigid with your plans when you have find better alternatives.  We all aspires for the best so "when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part is done away with"

The lesson to arching a goal always resides on the path, the process.

I believe that I get your point, yet I am not sure if I agree with you completely because there can be ways in which we set up our goals in ways that are easier to achieve and some aspects might be harder to achieve, and merely because on some days we might achieve our goals easily and we will be able to take the day off or relax does not necessarily mean that we have not been sufficiently ambitious in the ways that we set our goals.

It seems by nature there are going to be more difficult aspects within our goals, and I don't necessarily disagree with you that if the rewards come for free, then we might not have had set our goals in a challenging enough way.. and sometimes if we were to go through several years of NOT having challenging goals and not having any hurdles to get over, then we might find that we lost some opportunities to really reach some of our potentials, because some opportunties or abilities to go down certain paths will close if we are not in the right place at the right time in our live's journey.... so there are some needs to prepare in advance and sometimes tradeoffs that might not be apparent at the earlier points in time.

I do actually believe that it is a better kind of practice to NOT set goals that are overly difficult to achieve, because there are some benefits in achieving goals along the way to paths of BIGGER goals.. but it could be that we are on a similar page that it is good to have some higher goals that need to be sufficiently challenging, and maybe even some realization that not all goals will be achieved.. even though surely there are some people who do proclaim that they had met all of their goals in life - which surely could be the case for some people as well.. at least in the sense that there might be some goals that are considered important and central and other goals that might be considered bonus goals that may or may not need to be achieved. 

I am a bit bothered when I see people placing too much emphasis on planning, and surely there needs to be some planning for any action that is taken, but some of the best ways of learning is to start to act and then to learn from the action and to tweak the plans based on what is learned from the actions.  I understand that many times the foundational plans need to be in place prior to action, but there are a lot of places where action helps to solidify the plan.

Because, you can’t just have a goal and start acting with the hope of making errors and then, you start reviewing/devising a plan from that. A plan would have to be in place first I think.

I guess I had been quibbling with some of the points that seem to emphasize too much on planning, and there are values in action...

And surely there can be levels in regards to how much anyone might be acting upon their plan.. and let's say that someone keeps saying that s/he is going to build a house that has certain qualities, and maybe s/he has been talking about that plan for years, but never taking any actual actions, and so some of the actions could merely be to earn money from work, but then also there might need to be some other actions that go into identifying more specifics about the plan in regards to how much money is needed, how much money is already available and how to fill the gap... and then there might be some questions regarding who is going to do the labor, so there could be some actions that are being taken along the way, and maybe even getting up to a certain amount of money in the bank might be needed before even going through with the next steps that involve getting into specifics about identifying location and taking the further steps... but if someone needs $100k in the bank (or some quasi-liquid form) before s/he is able to start to get into the second planning step, and if s/he ONLY has $5k to $10k saved up, and many years have passed with the amount not getting even past $10k, there might be questions regarding the extent to which actions upon his/her plans are sufficiently lined up or even prioritized enough in order to be able to get through the first step of raising the early money which has to be achieved prior to going into the next stage of the journey.

So I think that I am saying that the planning and the acting go back and forth, and there are needs for both and needs to be in a kind of complementary stage - including that sometimes planning can become extensive, but it might not make sense without starting to take some actions that allow getting to the next stages... and even the acting might perhaps inform the further planning.. we learn how to make our plans better by coupling them with ongong appropriate actions.

Difficulty and ease always go hand in hand in all things, so that the assessment of the ease and difficulty of a job is only known when we have done it in our own way. Because sometimes the method taken by other people can also be easier than the method we do in a job that is no different, so difficulties are not only formed from our thoughts. But it is also formed from the way we take things in order to get maximum results without shifting from the basic goals that we have previously thought about for ourselves.

Even though difficulties are only visible when someone has not tried it, but when they have tried it and let's say they still haven't succeeded, someone will definitely look for solutions to solve the problems they face in order to overcome the obstacles that are in front of them.

I understand what you have explained, but a little addition from me is that everyone has different thoughts, and that is why some of them were able to achieve success earlier compared to us, the strong reason is because they stuck to their guns and had determination. To continue trying to follow up on every choice they implement.

For example, if you joined the Crypto World in 2016 and someone else joined in 2017 but there is a big difference in the level of success where someone who joined in 2017 is more successful than you. So at this stage you can evaluate why he can be successful and why we can't. Maybe if you have a history of buying BTC, of ​​course you can buy at a lower price because you joined in 2016. But someone who joined in 2017 bought BTC at a higher price than the purchase you made, but for comparison now they are more successful than you. This is due to factors, because they follow up on the development of Bitcoin from year to year so they believe Bitcoin will achieve greater profits if it is held for a long time. While those of you who bought at that time were only satisfied with a small profit because you sold your BTC holdings more quickly.  (that's perhaps the level of evaluation that must be adjusted for your future) namely buy and hold.

Well, that's a little conclusion that I can explain and I think I agree with Op because all success doesn't happen overnight and there are a lot of processes that have to be gone through. So do it with determination and full confidence in what you want to achieve in the future.

[Raflesia]

However, some people actually don't want to try doing something that they consider difficult, but maybe they don't know where to start, so up to now there are still many people who prefer to look for other, easier paths because maybe they know where to start. Even though difficulties are only visible when someone has not tried it, but when they have tried it and let's say they still haven't succeeded, someone will definitely look for solutions to solve the problems they face in order to overcome the obstacles that are in front of them.

In this case I think it comes back to mindset because when we can't try to overcome and always avoid something that we think we can't do then forever we will never move from where you are currently living and you will eventually become stagnant and not add any achievements in life.

Indeed, sometimes we think that actually we can't do it we are confused about where to start but in my opinion as long as we dare to try to step into a zone that we consider difficult it is actually an important first step that must be done because it is a brave step to get out of your comfort zone and dare to try new challenges.
Put aside the results first because in the end nothing is easy to achieve maximum results but when we are serious about doing something that we have considered difficult before I think it will be considered easy when we have tried.
The point is how to habituate yourself when facing pressure because in this case if your thinking is narrowed with the assumption that you cannot then forever it will be considered difficult to pass because you close the limits that you should be able to pass.

[Salahmu]

So I think that I am saying that the planning and the acting go back and forth, and there are needs for both and needs to be in a kind of complementary stage - including that sometimes planning can become extensive, but it might not make sense without starting to take some actions that allow getting to the next stages... and even the acting might perhaps inform the further planning.. we learn how to make our plans better by coupling them with ongong appropriate actions.

A planing without action makes no meaning, let's take for instance we have three set or stages of goals we want to reach out, planning alone cannot achieve those goals onles acting upon, also boiling it down to business perspective after having structured on what your business  will look like to achieve those structures action most be implemented immediately perhaps later on through action you will realize that there are more things that needs to be adjusted on the planning so in every planning action speaks volumes.

We are currently living in the chapter of our lives devoted to survival as living things. Additionally, we are aware that survival is currently difficult; if we do nothing, we will undoubtedly perish from starvation. Whatever is going on in our lives, whether we like it or not, we still need to figure out how to turn a profit.

And even while we are aware that finding a way to turn a profit is challenging, God has also provided a number of answers to this problem. We simply need to put in a lot of effort. Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is one that we can also source in some way, just for us to get profits. Or it could also serve as a tool to help us succeed.

In the world of films and media success stories, it's nice to show the path to success as a series of funny video inserts to funny music. They show that all this is easy and fun, knowledge seems to get into your head by itself and all solutions are successful and accurate. But in fact, the skill is developed in silence. In a boring, heavy and cheerless silence, in which you need to think, establish logical relationships, draw conclusions and write down. I have three qualifications and this path to knowledge and mastery is always as hard and dreary as I described - in any case. And here, on bitcointalk, the path to knowledge and rank advancement is just as difficult. And the secret of success is simple - you need to love what you do and communicate on topics that interest you.

They have made success look very easy neglecting the challenges to accomplish it, every success have there own story. And movies have give some kind of sweet vibe of how things are easy. To make money sometimes some will actually motivate to put more effort. Reading your comments was encouraging and some times some part are just not easy to trail on, is demanding and effort must be put in to accomplish. Aside from that, the world has grown more challenging to live in.

I agree with you. I'm sure we can all agree that we all work and act to survive. The world is already challenging as it is, with the addition of wanting to reach various, unique, and different goals as well as outside factors it will seem as if the world is against us but, as you have stated, we will to survive. Hence, it is up to us to find a way to continue to do so. Each action, decision, and plans we make will disctate the state we will surely end up in. Therefore, we need to always have the drive to grow, to find any sitiation we are as a path made for us to survive, turn each situations (good and bad) as an opportunity to learn and be a better version of ourselves. Find a way to turn our small income to a bigger, slowly but steady. That is the never endling cycle of survival.

Yes, life has definitely become more difficult now, but you need to be able to see opportunities. The rules of a person who strives for success look like this:
1) be attentive
2) see opportunities and be able to create them.
That's all.
Let it be the time of a global global crisis, but I believe that there are always opportunities. You just need to always be able to adapt, think outside the box. Such qualities have been appreciated at all times, and even when there are armed conflicts or diseases in the world, even then there are people who strive to earn money and they succeed. I am not calling for breaking moral rules. But I'll give you an example: at the time of Covid-19, my friend earned a lot by selling medical masks and gloves. Covid-19 gave an opportunity, and this man took advantage of it because he thought critically and had a commercial streak.

[bayu7adi]

The essence of this thread is an invitation for us to toil diligently, as in the journey of life, nothing can guarantee our success.

Have you ever encountered impoverished families residing in rural areas? They all exert immense effort to secure a sustainable livelihood. Yet, the cycle of poverty continues to haunt them. From my observations, there seems to be a deficiency in fundamental financial education. This is primarily because their mindset seldom revolves around cultivating their possessions; rather, they tend to focus on meeting their basic needs, with any surplus earmarked for fulfilling their desires.

Each family harbors a chain of poverty that persists unless a descendant of the lineage resolves to break it. Achieving their aspirations becomes an arduous task, given the ubiquitous need for financial resources. Furthermore, their journey is fraught with greater challenges than those of the affluent due to various constraints such as economic limitations, mindset, and environment.

Impoverished families require a more potent catalyst than those who enjoy financial sufficiency.

Though you have a point there but sometimes do we have to also reconsider about some opportunities? That is, not all opportunities are Golden ones, there some that are merely trapped for you (us) to fall ino more victims of something we didn't have the knowledge of it.

Let's say for example, a newbie investor venturing into market at a New ATH what did you expect such person to have as a results, to me is a huge loose why because he didn't venture the market at the right time but just because he has information that market could possibly hit to an unpredictable amount made him to rush buying at a new ATH to me this is not a good entry point and he may incur significant lose within after that.

Okay another reference might be as you said during covid-19 your friend made money from it, yes this could be true but the risk behind this is very high why because you could get contracted as well and his life would had be in danger who knows if he might lost his life If not for God that sees the heart of all men and give rise to them.

We are currently living in the chapter of our lives devoted to survival as living things. Additionally, we are aware that survival is currently difficult; if we do nothing, we will undoubtedly perish from starvation. Whatever is going on in our lives, whether we like it or not, we still need to figure out how to turn a profit.

Not survival, our generation/time has the highest survival rate as a species compared to the different ages in the human history, we have cures for once incurable and almost mythological sicknesses/diseases back when science wasn't yet that advance, what we're struggling right now is finding purpose and trying to make a name for ourselves, with billions of us, I think it's going to depress anyone to think that some people will never find their purpose because they have to compete for ever dwindling resources. Also worth mentioning that with capitalism, everyone is trying to make things that was once free and taken for granted into a profit making machine so yeah, life ain't easy because we let it be.

I am keeping everything simple and will continue to follow the same mantra even if I become multi millionaire. You enjoy the life the way it comes to you. If you try too hard you will make mistake and if you do not try at all then it will hit hard back to you. Better keep managing the life events as they come to you. You got extra money today? Save some, invest some, and spend some for your loved ones. If you did not get any extra money still save some, invest some and spend “later” on your loved ones. They ain’t going anywhere, they also live the same life. The save and invest is the key in all of this.

I see you mentioning and correlating things with merit earning on the forum. I count it as appendix in the system. One of the organ that is in our body it has no function since ages and it’s getting rejected by the body. It’s just sitting there with no meaning.

If you are using forum for your knowledge and sharing your knowledge, you are automatically getting escalated.

Don’t make this as rat race, makes it simpler.

Nothing in life will come easily, the things we dream of will never come to us if we sit around waiting for them, we have to strive and work hard for them only then we will be able to fulfill our dreams. 
If we have a lot of focus on our career from childhood then surely we will do well in studies and whenever we do well in studies and get a good degree but we can easily enter our dream career. But it is never possible for those who only dream but do not take any action to realize their dreams. 

Studying or doing business you must do it carefully and have enough respect and respect for work only then you can get maximum results from that work or study.

Some of your points are really important. Achieving anything in life is not so easy. To get anything good one must achieve it through hard work. May it be a degree or a career field or may it be a person's biggest dream in life. In each case an individual has to devote sufficient effort and time. Almost all of us know that nothing can be achieved by sitting idly.

If I want to get good results from my business then I must have good business management skills and pay attention to the quality of my products and accessories only then I can get good results from my business.

The same should be considered for investing in cryptocurrency or Bitcoin. A person cannot easily profit from Bitcoin if he does not acquire good knowledge about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not suitable for those who cannot buy and hold Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a money scheme where we can get multiple profits just by investing. But only those who buy into bitcoin and start living a dream for a long time can succeed.
