Nothing personal just thinking out loud.

 Soon I came across many articles against the big companies and especially against the Chinese state.  They are responsible for air pollution and harm to humanity.  I have nothing against the free writing of people or journalists. But are they correct in their conclusions? Let's assume that every product produced by a large company is bought by the common man. Shouldn't we pay a little attention to our actions? Everyone purchases a Chinese-made product, such as a phone. This is true regardless of whether the product originates from an American or European company. Is it just a phone? For example, I know people who criticize wealthy corporations. Their actions show they replace their TV every few years because they want the latest model. Another sees that they are advertising the latest model fridge, but its design is nicer, and he decides to renew it even if it is a payoff, but he needs to be able to take a picture for social media in front of a good-looking fridge full of products. He doesn't realize that this software, which supports so many people, needs more hardware that requires electricity. Everyone is trying to buy a new t-shirt so that people who look at his profile can say that he is chic. At the moment, the world is experiencing an unstoppable euphoria over the mania of owning electronic money. What resources are required for this endeavor? They don't consider the consequences, but they campaign in the financial media about its importance. Would large corporations produce a product that is not in demand? If there are no buyers, they will definitely reduce their production. If all other countries stopped demanding goods from China, would they still produce them? I don't know what would happen if China closed its borders for six months, but only for goods that the world needs. Don't think China is making any toys for thrift stores. China produces everything from the iPhone to medicines for the underprivileged. Recently, China has produced nearly 80 percent of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. However, when individuals become wealthy through their own efforts, they are often criticized. Recently, I have witnessed the politics of American presidents. They are not giving American citizens a better life, but they are struggling to slow down the Chinese economy so that it does not become the number one economy. A simple example is that they put customs duties on goods and so on; the average person simply pays more for the product. I think everyone should think about what they can contribute and not blame others for their mistakes. For example, I don't have a smartphone yet. I only use my laptop for work-related tasks, writing, or quick trips to the post office. Visit Meta or LinkedIn weekly. I can't deny that every day I visit at least one financial site to get an idea of what I should invest in. Everyone is right for himself, whatever he says, but our actions must be in the right direction to protect the planet.

Is the holiday in Turkish Riviera Antalya worth it?

I am visiting Antalya for the first time. The plane ride took us three hours. We received a welcome at the airport. Of course, we had paid for the ultra-inclusive package. Upon arrival, we were offered to visit the restaurant to eat. The hotel's restaurant was actually open twenty-four hours a day. After we were accommodated, we toured the complex. Since it was late, we sat at the bar, which was open 24 hours. The hotel itself had several bars, a disco, and a restaurant next to the beach. You can eat at this beachside restaurant instead of going to the hotel when you're at the beach during the day. I noticed security on the beach, inside the hotel yard, and at the entrance itself. It was also twenty-four hours. Food in restaurants is plentiful. It gave me the impression that the alcohol was  legal. I thought that if I ordered a twelve-year whiskey, I would be served something worse. However, since I only ordered a single twelve-year whiskey, they provided me with what I needed. During the day, they do various activities for the guests in the pool or around it. There are entertainers for small children as well. I enjoyed the nightly performances at the summer theater the most. In a word, have fun and don't think about it. You can order drinks everywhere, and they always serve you just by waving to the staff. The most intriguing thing is that I did not visit their cafe because it was a Starbucks. There was definitely always a queue, and the drinks were at the hotel's expense. In front of the hotel, there are several offices for excursions. If you're interested in rafting, they can arrange for a vehicle to transport you. If you want an excursion to explore the surroundings up to a hundred kilometers, no problem. But this is additionally paid. I would rather not advertise only this hotel. I believe this is the common practice for most hotels. Therefore, many people continue to visit these hotels near Antalya. I had never been in a warmer sea before. Everywhere, you need a towel when you go out. The water was actually clean. It's difficult to swim underwater. The salt water itself lifts you to the surface. In the city of Antalya, except for the old city, there are no more houses. Only four- or five-story buildings of modern construction remain. I hope that they will not replace the old city, and the breath of the old that has been in this city for 2-3 thousand years will disappear. The area boasts an abundance of historical sites. I also liked their steep, high, and somewhat snow-white mountains. The aquarium and museums are worth a visit. However, I didn't get to experience everything. I rate the service and everything else as excellent. The evidence shows that many people return there, which suggests it's consistently excellent. If you have not vacationed in Antalya, I can only recommend it.

Not everyone can win, there must be losers.

Investing in a utility company can provide a steady stream of income. Generally regulated, utility companies offer investors some stability and predictability. Utility companies often have strong balance sheets and generate a lot of cash flow, which can make them attractive investments. Utility companies can be a beneficial way to diversify a portfolio. There are many different types of utility companies, so investors can find one that fits their investment goals. But in reality, utility companies' revenues are predictable. Accept yourself as a regular payer. Assume that your neighbor is also a payer. Thus, all users of their services are payers. The company itself has the income and can afford the dividend. Another thing is that the stock market has a crisis. The company will always have these customers. This situation could be compared to a pandemic that wipes out people. Realistically speaking, you don't expect a sharp rise in the share price. But you can always expect it to drip a little. For me, it is mandatory for an investor to have at least one utility company in their portfolio. This is my opinion. This review is not a recommendation to buy; at the end of the day, everyone has an opinion. Not everyone can win; there must be losers.

In my opinion, making investments in times of crisis

 Everything during a crisis goes downhill. As usual, when a person falls ill, their health deteriorates significantly.  Mother Nature finds a way to remind us. Because people get carried away and rapidly forget themselves.  Ever since the world can remember, there have been crises, and there always will be.  The market undergoes the same sorting process as the sieve.  Some will sink because they didn't do their homework. Others may fail due to lying. However, the crisis presents an opportunity for improvement and forward thinking. Here's a straightforward illustration. For example, a very farsighted person, even if he sees that the fruits are already despised, will figure out what to do. He will make vinegar or fruit wine.  You have to recognize those companies that have a future and bet on them. Avoid choosing companies based on personal preference or popularity.  The biggest mistake of the small investor is to target the top ten large companies. This is primarily due to the significant growth in their market valuation. Are their revenues growing at the same rate? For utility companies, it is beneficial that we continue to use their services regardless of the crisis.  Without taking risks, there can be no progress.  But in most cases, now is the time to take a risk. Time will tell if the investment was worth it. Invest in companies that have a promising future. It's beneficial to trust your instincts occasionally. No ads, and experts direct people to certain companies. I'm just expressing my opinion on the matter. This is due to my personal involvement in the matter.

Would I invest in Canadian stocks - I only express my own opinion

Would I invest in Canadian stocks? My answer is yes.  Why? This country stands out as one of the most democratic in the world. There are many well-positioned companies in the Global 2000.  But one cannot invest in everything.  He has to choose a company that can increase his money. In practice, there are also many that are related. I would choose only five companies. I will not mention the companies. The first is in the finance sector. You can choose two sectors, but allocate resources equally between them. The second is railway transportation. The third one is in the energy sector. The fourth one is necessary, as it involves the extraction of raw materials. The fifth one is essential to real estate management. That's basically my motto regardless of where the companies are located. We always choose the best option based on our empathy or the impressions ingrained in our memory from advertisements. But it is better to check back at least ten years to see if these companies were doing well.  The other option is to invest in companies whose products or services you regularly use. So that your money, which you use in everyday life to charge your car or the bank that serves you, also earns from you.  In Canada, there are many penny stocks that are not to be underestimated. Always gather information, then invest your money. Don't blame someone else for bad choices. Nothing is ever guaranteed to be good forever.  I only express my opinion. I am not agitating anyone over anything.

Book awards, a step towards success for authors

Is there any greater recognition for a book author than knowing that people are reading his works? There should also be book prizes. He competes with his colleagues for the best book. Plus, the thought of winning is a satisfying thrill. Like any competition, the author analyzes his work. It is not normal for the first loser to give up. After two or three races, he can take action to improve it or change the way he writes. He has the option to select a genre in which he might excel. It is not exactly decided to write fiction because more is sought after. If he writes poems, there are also many contests. The biggest problem for writers is reaching their readers. One important way to reach readers is by winning awards for their books. In addition to giving him optimism, there is also a small advertisement that can bring more readers. There are many book awards. To find out exactly which one is for you, you need to browse the Internet and collect information. This process takes a significant amount of time. That's why I recommend BOOKAWARDPRO. It will save you a lot and direct you where you need to apply for awards and reviews.

In fact it's probably the most competitive industry in the world.

This message is intended for anyone who aspires to write books. In general, everyone has something to say to the world. To just write a book and have it as a trophy is not a challenge. But the moment you finish it, you think it's so easy. Why don't you keep going? I can do it. Then it makes you think of the next one.  By the time you go to publish it, the problems start. You consult someone, and they encourage you to move on to the next step. Now that you've already published it and are anticipating sales, you're questioning whether I wrote it so poorly. Do you dislike my story so much? Strangely, even acquaintances don't say anything to me. The disappointment begins. If you don't trust yourself, you'll likely give up. Well, I tried. But at night, when you go to bed, you think of the second book and don't know what to do. You start getting interested in other authors on social media. But every new idea inspires you, and you go looking for another publisher again. This is primarily due to your dissatisfaction with the publisher you've chosen. If you really want to succeed, this industry is not small. It's likely the world's most competitive industry, in fact. I thought of writing two or three books first and then advertising. I didn't care if they sold . I do it for fun. Not that they don't sell at all. German books, for instance, are available in Germany with either hard or soft covers. But the English one was lame to me. Why? I didn't even have a smartphone. But there is LinkedIn and Facebook. These platforms are exclusively accessible to individuals I personally know. I don't like publicity; that's why I wrote under a pseudonym. I began reading and had a clear understanding of what needed to be done before I actually started. For nearly two years I researched. I now know the formula myself. But my best advice is to start by reading the Dave Chesson-Kindlepreneur blog. There is no better information elsewhere, even if it were summarized. If you haven't read this blog, don't expect to succeed. At the very least, it will shorten your time by one or two years to achieve success. This is not advertising but just advice to new colleagues
