In some parts of the world, girls are as likely to be married off or trafficked as they are to be educated. Photojournalist and TED Fellow Smita Sharma thoughtfully depicts overlooked girls and young women, while making sure not to disrupt the lives of her subjects in the process. Her work shows what might otherwise remain hidden — the first step to changing the story.

    Success is not real. No one in this world will be able to achieve “success”. We might feel he/she is successful, but actually they are not. If we define success for a common man, it would only mean the ‘surplus of wealth, fame or power’. These have other words such as wealthy, famous or powerful. These doesn’t mean ‘success’. I don’t know why everybody is chasing success when it doesnt even exist.
    It is just an illusion created by our own society to judge others and even ourselves.
    But there’s a word which comes close to “success”.
    This word is ‘satisfaction’. Working towards satisfaction is more effective and fullfilling than chasing the non realistic term called ‘success’.
    Then another question arises, why do we feel motivated/demotivated?
    Being motivated doesn’t mean having the ability to work towards ‘success’. Motivation is a state where a person feels high energy and have a good mood. Thus it doesnt have any connection with being successful or not. It is just another state of mind , similiar to happiness, anger etc. It is also important to know that motivation is temporary (just like other emotions).
    So in conclusion, life isnt about being successful or not. It is about being satisfied with what you have and work towards our own satisfactions.
    I hope you take this in the right spirit..
    Thank you.

    Great video, and well explained. It’s really a great content. Sometimes, I am actually curious to know why a lot of people around the world haven’t really accepted cryptocurrencies. I would say cryptocurrency has changed the world. Regardless of the fact that i have been a trader/investor, we really need more crypto experts to educate investors on the benefit of cryptocurrency, because the world is sailing into a digital world where you don’t need banks to bank your funds and end up with zero interest. BTC’s price has been oscillating lately, which means the market is currently open and you can’t tell if it’s going to be bearish or bullish. This uncertainty scare most investors away and forces investors to hold. I would say it’s totally wrong to sit back waiting and maybe take some losses, this is the wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor it should be up to us to find ways to add more and more coins and stock up on the goal of making a profit. It all depends on the pattern you are trading and also the source of your strategies. I started with 2 BTC and amassed over 5.5 BTC in just 8 weeks with the right trading strategy given to me by an experienced trader, Andrew Robson His methods are top notch and profitable and he can be easily contacted through Telegram @Robsn37 and WhatsApp ✙14582140504. you can make him your best cryptocurrency expert Right now i look forward amassed all my coin and also trading more assets to change my life and my kids as well, all thanks to Andrew Robson……..>>>…,.

More companies should have an end of life plan for their products | TechCrunch

In a circular economy, products are designed to be used and reused, drastically reducing waste. Alora is taking old cribs and using their materials to manufacture something new. This example of waste reduction in the circular economy goes to show that more companies should have an end of life plan for their products.
