Don’t Sell Yourself Cheap!!

The father said to his son: “You have graduated with distinction, this is a car I got many years ago. It great but old. 

Before I give it to you, I would like you to take it to the used-car shop and tell them you want to sell it.

His son went to the car store. Later he came back to his father and said: “They offered me $ 1,000 because it seemed too worn out.” 

The father said, “Fine take now to the auction store.” 

The son went to the auction store and came back to his father and said, “They offered me $ 100 because it's a very old car.” 

The father smiled and asked his son to take the car to Collective Car Club and asked him to show it to them.

The son took the car to the club, and came back and told his father, "Some people in the club offered me $ 100,000 since it is a rare Nissan Skyline R34, which is a very popular car and many have sought after." 

The father smiled again and said to his son, "The right place will always value you in the right way." If you are not of value, do not be angry...  this only means that you are in the wrong place. 

Those who know your worth are those who will value you correctly. 

Never stay in a place where someone does not see your value.

7 tips to keep you safe online

With people spending hours on the web and turning to online services for practically everything under the sun, it is an opportune time for hackers and data-stealing malware to run amuck. Consequently, many have been worried about keeping their private data safe and secure and away from those with malicious intentions. However, experts say there are simple steps you can take to minimize the risk and protect your data.

Back up your data, externally

Though often ignored or postponed, keeping copies of your digital data is one of the simplest and most sensible ways to protect it. Backing up data means that your information and documents will be safe if you were to lose any of your devices, or if they become damaged or stolen. Using an external hard drive, and in particular, one that supports hard drive encryption is a good place to start. It's also a good idea to scan important documents and save them on your computer and hard disk drive (HDD).

Change your passwords, regularly

Your existing passwords must be at least 15 characters long and changed frequently. More importantly, do not keep a note of your password on or near the device you are using.

Keep your birthday and address off the internet

If you have information such as your address or birthday on your social media, know that these can easily be used for malicious purposes. To avoid this risk, try not to declare your birthday or place of residence on online platforms.

Check your camera and Bluetooth, stat

Hackers can actually access your mobile and laptop cameras and record you, even if they are turned off. When your device is not in use, instead of leaving it on sleep mode, turn it off completely, and if looking for a low-tech solution cover it with some black tape. When it comes to Bluetooth, you must exercise more caution as it is a literal open door for pirates, so make sure it is turned off.

Don't use public WiFi

Your Wifi range often extends the boundaries of your house and signals can be picked up from near its perimeters, making them a target for hackers. The best precaution you can take will be to use a password consisting of a mix of letters, numbers and special characters. In addition, always try to avoid using public wireless networks and, if you have to make sure the site addresses start with HTTPS (with an SSL certificate) instead of HTTP.

Use trustworthy antivirus software

Malware, spyware and viruses spell big trouble for many users and devices. The best way to avoid them is to use good antivirus software that will provide reliable anti-malware protection.

Turn on your notifications and alerts

Despite all the precautions you take, fraudsters still may find a way to bypass the measures you take. In such cases, the sooner you discover the threat the better it is for recovery and minimizing further damage. Nowadays, many banks send free notifications and warnings when they detect unusual activities. So call your bank or log in to its app to see if you have your notifications turned on.

Lesson of time

“When a bird is alive, it eats ants.  When the bird is dead, ants eat the bird.  Time and circumstances can change at any time.  Don’t devalue or hurt anyone in life.

  You may be powerful today, but remember, time is more powerful than you.  One tree makes a million match sticks but only one match is needed to burn a million trees.  So be good and do good.” - Karmic saying

Time is more powerful than You

Moral: Time is powerful. You can be king one day and penny less other day. You should be polite.
