Secret To Success
Once upon a time, in a small peaceful town, there lived a family in a quiet corner of the city. In the family was a 12-year-old boy named David who was in the sixth grade. David was an active child who loved to play outside, and his favorite activity was playing soccer almost every day. David would head to the nearby public field where he honed his skills. One day after returning home from school, David collapsed on the couch, lost in thought. He opened his textbook and stared at it for a moment, then slumped down on the soft cushions with a dissatisfied look on his face. His father, who had just returned from the backyard, noticed this unusual behavior and went over to his son, who was sitting next to David. He asked him what was bothering him. David explained that he had received a poor grade in math, but that was not what was really bothering him. He shared that his best friend and neighbor, Matt, always got high marks in math, and no matter how hard David tried, he couldn’t do it well. When David’s father heard this, he went to get his son a glass of water to calm him down. Once David began to relax a bit, his father took him outside to their backyard garden, which was filled with shady trees and a peaceful environment. His father began, “I want you to understand three important lessons from what happened today. These lessons will guide you as you grow up.” David, who deeply respected his father, was a little confused but also curious. “Can you explain these lessons?” he asked. His father replied with a kind smile. After a short pause, his father continued with the first lesson: “I want you to invite Matt to play soccer with you tomorrow.” David nodded eagerly and wondered what lesson his father had in mind. The next morning, the weather was bright and sunny, and David went to school with his usual enthusiasm. That evening after school, he invited Matt to join him for a soccer match at a nearby field. As usual, David, who played soccer almost every day, dominated the game, scoring three goals to lead his team to a stunning victory. Meanwhile, Matt, who wasn’t very good at soccer, struggled. He lost the ball a lot and made several mistakes. Despite that, everyone else who played that day had a good time. After that, David cleaned up and hurried to meet his father in the backyard. “Dad, I played soccer with Matt today. What’s the first lesson you want to teach me?” His father smiled knowingly. “Tell me how the game went?” David explained everything from his three goals to how Matt wasn’t very good at soccer. His father nodded. “Look, David,” he said. “Matthew may not be good at football, but he’s brilliant at math, just like you might struggle with math, but in football, we’re all different. That’s okay. We all have our strengths and passions.” David felt a wave of understanding wash over him. He realized that people are different, not necessarily the same, but he was as curious as ever. He immediately asked his father for another lesson. “I want you to keep a close eye on Matt at school tomorrow,” his father said. “Keep an eye on how often you see him counting or working with numbers.” The next day, David went to school, excited, eager to meet his father’s challenge. He watched Matt silently, noticing how engrossed he was in his math work after school. David spent his time playing football again until his father returned home that evening. David went to his father and told him what he had seen. His father, Matt, had been doing a lot of counting that day. He had been working on math problems, solving puzzles, and even counting things like…

Why Your Failures Are Actually Your Greatest Teachers 💡
It’s easy to think of failure as something to avoid, something that reflects inadequacy or weakness. We’re often taught to fear failure, to see it as something negative or shameful. But what if we flipped that mindset and started viewing failure as one of the greatest tools for growth?

THE STORY OF THE WOLVES, THE SHEEP AND WHO WILL I BE IN THIS GAME?. Content Warning.
Re-entering a field that seems to be my “home ground”, familiar and understanding the way back, but this re-entry is a difficult challenge, the field of investment - finance. The more I step, the deeper I go into this maze, the more I see its layers, mixed between virtual and real, the more I see my limited understanding. Every game has its “rules”, without “rules” the game will be disorganized and no one can play with each other. But where do “rules” come from and how can we understand them? The question seems easy, that theories, legal regulations… and then from the institutions that have the right to issue laws, the main institutions in the market… will be the answer! But in reality, in this maze, we seem to not find the real “rules” anywhere, and even less know who created these “rules” and it is even more difficult to know who will monitor our compliance with the rules. Struggling with tension, that was the first feeling when I was faced with my first “problems” that needed to be solved. The first tension came from having to always position everything to identify my solutions based on all the “variables”. The problem needs to be solved in a dynamic state with a series of constantly changing variables, and many of those variables are impossible to predict. The next tension comes from the feeling of a Sun Wukong who wants to get out of the Buddha's palm but can't, a feeling of a serious lack of knowledge, not the theoretical knowledge of a technical nature, but the knowledge to understand the hidden layers of that maze, the knowledge to be able to locate oneself. And the final tension is having to always maintain oneself, with steadfastness and an indomitable will of the game.

Power of Controlling Mind
Many years ago, there lived a young man named Jack in a small town. His life was full of sorrow and struggle. Every day, he would go out to look for work, earn a little money, then return home, cook a simple meal, and go to sleep. One day, after wandering around all day and finding nothing, Jack was returning home with a heavy heart. Just then, he heard someone calling out behind him, “Is there anyone here who can help me carry something?” Jack turned around and saw an old man standing there. He was carrying three large, heavy suitcases. Jack said, “Yes, I can help.” The old man said, “I have to go to the next village, it’s quite a distance. I can carry two bags myself, but the third one is too heavy. Can you carry it for me? I’ll give you three gold coins.” Jack agreed. But as he picked up the bag, he felt its weight. “Oh dear,” he said, “it really feels heavy.” “Yes,” the old man replied calmly, “because it’s full of bronze coins.” Despite the weight, Jack put the bag on his shoulder and started walking with the old man. As he walked, Jack noticed that the old man was watching him. “Maybe he’s afraid I’ll run away with the bags,” Jack thought. But he reminded himself, “I’m not a thief. I’d never cheat anyone. I just want to work hard and earn money honestly.” As they walked, they reached the bank of a river. Jack didn’t wait. He drowned in the water and tried to cross. But the old man stayed on the other side. The man said, "I am an old man. I cannot cross this river with these two bags. If I try, I may drown. Can you carry another bag for me? Don't worry. I will give you three more gold coins." Jack agreed. But when he reached to take the bag, the old man stopped him. "Promise me you will not run away." Jack was surprised. "Why would I run away?" the old man said. "It is difficult to trust people these days. There are silver coins in this bag." Jack was a little angry. "Do I seem like a thief to you?" he said. "I do not cheat for money." "Give me the bag." He picked up the second bag and crossed the river. Even the silver coins did not stop him from his promise. After that, they reached a hill. Jack slowly started to climb, but the old man remained below. "Come on," Jack called out. "Why are you still standing there?" "I am very old," the man said. "I can't climb with this bag." "Then give it to me and I'll take it," said Jack. The old man stopped. "But there are gold coins in this bag. If you run away, I won't catch you." Jack was a little disappointed now. "I told you before. I'm not that kind of person. I'm an honest man. I used to work for a small loan company. I was in charge of record keeping, but I quit when they asked me to lie about a customer's debt." The old man still didn't believe it, but finally he said, "I don't know if you're telling the truth or not, but take this, take the bag, I'll walk slowly." "Wait for me on the other side of the hill." Jack picked up the bag and started walking, leaving the old man behind. As he walked, an idea occurred to him. If I ran away with these three bags, the old man wouldn't be able to catch me. I'd be rich forever. Another idea came to mind. He's an old man. He probably doesn't have much time. What will he do with all this money? But I am young. If I take this money, I can become rich, marry a beautiful woman and live a luxurious life. These thoughts tempted him, and Jack took the three sacks and ran away. He reached his house panting and opened the sacks to his surprise. There was no gold or silver in them, only small stones. Why did the old man lie? Jack wondered. Why did he do all this? At that moment he saw a message inside the sack. He picked it up and read: "I am the king of this country. I have no family or heirs, and I am getting old. Therefore, I was looking for an honest man who would be my son and future king. If you had not run away, you would have been that man." As soon as Jack read these words, he felt a deep regret. He had been honest all his life. He never wanted to deceive anyone. But one small greedy thought had changed everything. If he had controlled himself for a moment, he could have become the heir to the throne. But a moment of weakness cost him the greatest opportunity of his life. This story teaches us how powerful our thoughts can be. Jack was a truly honest man, but a moment of greed forced him to do something completely contrary to his principles. The thought crossed his mind: If I ran away, the old man wouldn't be able to catch me. This could be the end of him.
