    • @somno6878
      @somno6878 5 лет назад +33

      My mum taught me how to do arithmetics including multiplication and division on a abacus when I was around 4. Later when I grew up I learnt that abacus could even do power calculations including root calculations. If one’s an abacus master, using modern calculators will not match with him in some basic arithmetics; it only takes seconds for one to do a 2-figure big-number multiplication on an abacus before anyone can even type down the numbers on their calculator. These kids have abacuses in their mind.

      To be fair, it's not like these kids are geniuses or something. They don't "happen" to be very good at this, it's a skill; not a talent. They're trained in techniques very specific to this kind of stuff, kind of like how athletes have to train their sport every day. So yeah, don't feel down because of this. It's not a matter of being naturally good or not, just whether your parents put you in a "mental arithmetic" school (those exist in China) or not.

    I began my investment journey at the age of 27, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.

      Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
