A loyal community has brought web3 together, but now it is killing it | Opinion of Bakhrom Saydulloev Web3’s slow adoption is a wake-up call for industry dreamers. Statistics works in a funny way. Once experts need to prove the growing acceptance and awareness of web3, they oversimplify the concept to say, for instance, “More than 90% of people have heard of crypto, hooray!” Yes, that is in fact true. But if you dive deeper, you’ll also see that only 8% have a solid familiarity with the concept of web3. https://crypto.news/a-loyal-community-has-brought-web3-together-but-now-it-is-killing-it-opinion/

Movie Recommendation The Burial The burial is a 2023 movie staring star Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones. The movie is a true life story of a Lawyer named Willie E. Gary and his client Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe's lawsuit against the Loewen funeral company, as documented in the 1999 New Yorker article. This movie is definitely a good watch. Anyone here seen it?
Series recommendation⬇️ ABBOTT ELEMENTARY "Abbott Elementary" is a popular sitcom series that follows the lives and challenges of a group of teachers working in an underfunded Philadelphia public elementary school.

Moreover, the series addresses important social issues within the context of the school environment, including the impact of limited resources on education and the dedication of teachers to their students' well-being. "Abbott Elementary" strikes a balance between comedy and social commentary, making it an engaging and insightful show that offers a refreshing perspective on the education system.

In life, simplicity often leads to success. If a task can be accomplished in three steps, there's no need to make it four. Every step in a process is a potential place for things to go wrong. The fewer steps, the fewer chances for something to break. So, keep it simple, and you'll reduce the risk of failure. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!
Don't Overlook the Basics: The Importance of a Strong Foundation In the grand tapestry of life, it's easy to get caught up in the allure of the extraordinary, the spectacular, and the complex. We're often drawn to the towering branches and lush foliage of the tree, the shining leaves that dance in the sunlight, but seldom do we take a moment to ponder what's beneath the surface. It's a simple truth that we sometimes overlook – how long can a tree remain standing without the roots? In the realm of personal development, career success, or any endeavor, we're often enticed by the flashy and glamorous aspects. We admire the achievements, the accolades, and the spotlight moments, but we must remember that these are the branches of our endeavors. What truly sustains us, what keeps us grounded and stable, are the roots—the basics, the foundation. Imagine a tree with a shallow or weak root system. No matter how grand and impressive it may seem on the surface, it's just one storm away from toppling over. Similarly, in our lives, neglecting the basics and ignoring the foundation can lead to instability and an inability to weather the challenges that inevitably come our way. The basics encompass fundamental principles, hard work, dedication, and a commitment to learning and growth. They are the building blocks upon which we construct our dreams and aspirations. Without them, our grand plans are like castles built on sand, susceptible to collapse. Whether you're pursuing a career, building a relationship, or striving for personal growth, remember that success is not only about reaching the highest heights. It's about having strong roots – a solid foundation that can support your growth and keep you grounded during turbulent times. In essence, don't overlook the basics. Embrace them, nurture them, and let them be the solid roots that allow you to stand tall, withstand the storms, and reach new heights. Just as a tree thrives and flourishes when its roots are well-established, so too can you thrive in life when you build your success on a strong foundation.

It is not my photo, but I think it is great to combine traditional fireworks with drones to expand the range of expression. I would be sad if drones became mainstream and fireworks disappeared in the future due to safety and cost issues tho
Good read.

The market is actually very boring now. No fun in sight!
It generally feels better to run toward something than to run away from something. Focus on what is pulling you in, not what you're trying to avoid." James Clear
*Poet and teacher June Jordan on perspective😘 Our earth is round, and, among other things, that means that you and I can hold completely different points of view and both be right. The difference of our positions will show stars in your window I cannot even imagine. Your sky may burn with light, while mine, at the same moment, spreads beautiful to darkness. Still we must choose how we separately corner the circling universe of our experience. Once chosen, our cornering will determine the message of any star and darkness we encounter."

You are the average of the 5 habits you repeat most.
"Speed is perpetually undervalued. Asking that person out today means you get to live more of your life with them and less of your life waiting. Starting your business today means you begin learning immediately and have more time to figure out what works. Go fast. The future is never guaranteed and the right time may never come."
"Many people won't attempt something unless they can find an example of someone else who is already doing it. Rely on this type of thinking too much and you'll never do anything interesting. Your path through life is unique. It is important to extract lessons from the experiences of others, but you can't wait for a perfect example to take action. You are the example." ¬James Clear
Writer and psychoanalyst Marion Milner on the work required to be happy: "Let no one think it is an easy way because it is concerned with moments of happiness rather than with stern duty or high moral endeavour. For what is really easy, as I found, is to blind one’s eyes to what one really likes, to drift into accepting one's wants ready-made from other people, and to evade the continual day to day sifting of values."
Mike Markkula, an electrical engineer and investor who worked alongside Steve Jobs and eventually became the first chairman of Apple Computer, shares a few of the company's core principles: "The Apple Marketing Philosophy: Empathy. We will truly understand their needs better than any other company. Focus. In order to do a good job of those things we decide to do we must eliminate all of the unimportant opportunities. Impute. People DO judge a book by its cover. We may have the best product, the highest quality, the most useful software, etc.; if we present them in a slipshod manner, they will be perceived as slipshod; if we present them in a creative, professional manner, we will impute the desired qualities."
It's hard to build momentum if you're dividing your attention.
