@galenkp Sharing my feelings and a personal story with you. I hope you enjoy it and remember I am not a native English speaker (expect some grammatical errors).
The car you just saw has a special place in my heart. Why did I buy this 5 inches toy/showpiece car?
I had 26 passive income sources and one of my wildest wishes was to earn from NFTs and content writing. When I joined Splinterlands both of my wishes came true. I started earning a huge amount from blogging and felt its power. To incentivize me for increasing my passive sources of income I always give myself a gift. Because of Lil Bubble and some of my childhood memories, I have a special place for showpiece cars in my mind. Thus the car you see in this picture represents my success to increase my passive income sources from 26 to 28. I even take this to the office and put it on my desk and even while writing this comment, I have it on my desk. Every time I see this it reminds me of my achievements and gives me the energy to work hard and achieve the rest of my dreams. My dreams usually revolve around making money not because I like or hate money but because with money, I can buy freedom, flexibility, peace of mind, and much more. The word "freedom" consists of only 7 letters but when I think about the link between money and freedom, It's deeper than the ocean.
This is a great comment for a few reasons; I like how you have multiple income streams and that you work hard to increase them. I think you will go far in life with this attitude. I also like how you have this car as a reminder of your success and probably inspires you to work harder, chase your goals and all.
Great work and great comment! Keep it up.
With due respect Sir! It is my absolute honor that you liked it. Hope you will ignore my grammar mistakes in the future too. It is really hard for me to convey my message in English.
Don't worry about your grammar mate, just do your best.
I understand that for a non-English speaker it can be daunting engaging with one born to it, especially when it comes to humour or sarcasm...I can be a little sarcastic and very dry at times which can be difficult for non-English speakers to respond to. It's all ok mate, just do your best.
Oh my! What a story behind that toy car, who would have thought it had such a great story behind it... I wonder what would happen if you loss it somehow 🤔😬
First of all that's a very wonderful question!
@merit.ahama if it gets broken or lost, I will move on in life. I will replace it with something else. I am not type of person that gets sad on things/conditions that can't be fixed. Although it have importance in my life but I am mature person. I will replace it and find happiness and motivation in other things in life like always.
And that's a awesome answer 😊
No matter how important such things are to us, it doesn't stop it from getting lost somehow so we must prepare ourselves towards that... Nice answer really
@merit.ahama
It is my pleasure that my answer-filled positivity in your life too. I really don't get sad for materialist stuff. All I care about is a specific kind of freedom which is currently impossible but I am doing my best. Here have a hint:
Hint 1
Hint 2
Those hints are the specific kind of freedom you were talking about? That is so cool and come on! How is it impossible now? You're so good at it, I wish I could even not up to half of what you did there
Nice a lot for sharing it with me @dlmmqb
@merit.ahama
This freedom is not available in my country. Anything goes against religion..........
Even if my parents find out they might disown me and my society will kill me for sure. I will not stop fighting for my freedom thus I need money to move out of my country.
Oh my goodness, you're getting me kinda scared but your confidence and fight is worth not getting me scared at all... I wish you all the best with it
Ahaaa what are the hints about? I'm not sure
@merit.ahama
Click on any one of them it will redirect you to it.
This is really admirable and I love that this little car represents so much for you. It's a beautiful concept that will keep you inspired to keep going.
@andrastia
I am glad you liked it. Do have anything similar (anything falls in the domain of motivation) to share? I am all ears.
Hey @dlmmqb
Thanks for the reply, yes, I have many many treasures, all with different significance. I'll quickly share two with you from when my parents were still around.
This first one is a silver bottle top that I found at a flea market. It was pitch black but I knew it was silver. I paid R30 (about $2) for it. I took it home very excitedly and when next saw my father, I asked him if he could clean it up and turn it into an inkwell for me. He was a smith and he enjoyed a challenge. My mother found the cut glass bottle to fit it. It is hallmarked (although they are very feint from wear and tear) which date it back to the early 1900s. It's probably worth 10x that just because of it's age and that it's sterling silver, but it's worth so much more to me because it was a treasure that everyone else had overlooked, but I saw it for what was under the dark patina.
This one is similar, but I found it when I was about 10 years old. My mother was a gem cutter and I often used to go to her weekend geology meetups. They had a sort of "throw out" junk pile of stones that weren't worth selling that people could dig through to see if there was something of interest to them.
I found a wolf that day.
My mother then cut it into this pendant and had it set in a silver setting.
Again, it was worthless to everyone else, but to me, there was a wolf in that stone and it wanted to be found.
I collect little things like this and treasure them all because to me they signify so much more than what was on the surface.
@andrastia
Sorry for the late reply. You r a genius person. I am happy that you r proud to tell about your parents work. Many of new generation people are even afraid to share about their routes. My dad was a once Taxi/cab driver.
I am really impressed you really learn alot from your parents and its in your genetics. Imagine if you can spot cryptocurrency like this, you will be a millionaire by now. I hope your valuables will be kept safe from any harm or bad eye. I wish u a lot of good luck and success for your life.
Sorry, I can't comment about the images you shared (they look awesome but in more details like price, and more details are not my area of expertise) as it's not my domain but from phycological point of view, I understood everything you try to convince. Your personality type is some kind of related to people who are proud of what they have and you have a positive personality.
Nice reminder to keep going!
@joanstewart Gald you liked it! It cost me only $4.5.
Perhaps one day the real thing, keep working at the crypto.
That was one of the reasons to buy it!
