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.

Life they say is not easy. Nothing good in life comes easy, everything that's worth having is worthing working hard for. There will definitely be challenges but that's the whole point of the journey. The issue these days is that most person are not ready to do the work needed to get the glory, they want the crown without the labour. But what makes the crown worth having is the process to get the throne. The greater the challenge the the bigger the throne.

Its true that people want to reach out a certain condition of their life on which they are really that imagining or liking to have a financially free kind of life on which it is really that they are wanting to have that state but really that not making any steps or doing hard work on which it do make things that shit and ending up on crying or still remaining on the situation that they are in or simply having no progress.
You would really be that staying up on where you are if you dont really make hard work. Not everything in life would really be taken for granted not unless if you are born with a golden spoon or a family on which
it is rich or having that lots of properties and money then it wont really be such a problem for you but we know that only a few % of those individuals who are in such condition and most of us are really that being born with average to poor type of family.

So this means that if you are really that having plans on making yourself better in terms of finances then we should really be grinding up hard. Be wise on making decisions and be sensible
on what you are doing. Passion and dedication would really be the key and also having that patience because if you dont have these kind of qualities
then it would really be surely be resulting into failure but somewhat if you dont quit up easily and thrive even harder then chances would be always there.
