    Focus for a little longer

    focus-for-a-little-longer-78e9e8e02afeb

    We hear everyone in every phase of our life say that you need to be focus to achieve something. But focus for how long they never say it. Our human brain gets distracted very easily and being in focus requires a hell lot of effort if you want to achieve something. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/aoxzfexqko.jpg) For example if you want to understand a math problem you need to keep your focus till the time that problem is solved but what about the next problem. Should you keep the same focus or you need to start all over again. What have I learn is to keep focus until you can. If even being in focus nothing is going in your way then you need to give yourself a break and start all over again when your mind is fully rested. So many times it happens with me that I could not solve a bug in my code but when I start looking it again with the same intensity and focus the next day some or the other solutions start working. So what we call a distraction is not actually a distraction is a way of you mind to say you that give the mind some rest to start focusing again. This also should be taught to you in every phase of life just like everyone taught you to keep focusing. We all know life is not easy that means being in focus everyday will not get you the desired result then what should you do. This is were the mentor comes in picture who can help you to come out of that situation. That mentor can be your friend, teacher parents or even your colleague whom you never talk with.

    Are you afraid of coming out of Comfort Zone?

    are-you-afraid-of-coming-out-of-comfort-zone-8873ab06f8d2a

    We all have been in our comfort zone from time to time and it's not the bad thing. You should be in your comfort zone until you feel the comfort zone is not comfortable anymore. But the real question is are you afraid of coming out of your comfort zone. https://images.pexels.com/photos/1412270/pexels-photo-1412270.jpeg?cs=srgb&dl=comfort-zone-growth-1412270.jpg&fm=jpg PC: Pixels.com There are a lot of people want to come out of the comfort zone to try something new but they are afraid about the consequences which will follow. For ex, you are in your comfortable job but wanted to do something of your own, that is actually meaning you want to take a risk of losing the job as well as might be losing the money of your new venture if that is not successful. People like me are always afraid to take this bold step because we know that we have a family which depends on us. Now this makes us a mediocre in front of people who has taken a risk and became successful. Until and unless you come out of your comfort zone you will not achive a great success in any field you are in. Thus even if you are not able to come out of the comfort zone try to make your comfort zone uncomfortable. What I mean if you want to start a business along with the job you need to spend your extra time on your business and try to be in focus.

    Steemleo - A New Scot Tribe

    July 04, 2019
    steemleo-a-new-scot-tribe

    Though everyone is getting familiar with Palnet, now we have a new entry into scot tribe space and that is Steemleo. The setting is very similar to Palnet and you also most probably got an airdrop if you have PAL tokens. According to SteemLeo it is a community for investors. Now, what does that mean, if you are investing anything like Money, Time or Knowledge on anything then this community is for you. https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQCkkaiW4CZQpdcq7rN9VmUNrSL5YTjcQDswRWLTdaMb8/steemleo.com%20is%20live.png PC: https://steemit.com/steemleo/@steem.leo/a-new-scot-tribe-on-the-block-or-introducing-steemleo-a-community-for-investors ### What content I will post on SteemLeo? We are all into Crypto space, so you might be thinking a lot of posts will be made on crypto. But that is not the only investment we have. If you have some money in your bank, and getting interested that is also one form of investment. If you are into Mutual Funds, that is also one type of investment. When I will be writing anything which revolves around money I will most probably add a steemleo tag. ### Is SteemLeo Moderated? Now the real question is, is the community moderated for spam. When someone creates 100 of posts which does not have anything related to investment, that too gets posted if you have used the tag. I would like it to be moderated so that we will only see genuine investment posts and not any other posts.

    Why Use Public Transport

    why-use-public-transport-a556bbfba0e4c

    Every now and then we hear so much about pollution and there are very few and ineffective ways to reduce the pollution. We do not have a lot of things in our hand which we can do to reduce the pollution. Public Transport does not get that much attention than an Electric Vehicle, everyone thinks that having electric vehicle can reduce the pollution but what about traffic. Every cities does not have that big lane in roads which can accommodate a lot of vehicle. This is were public transport can become a lot more important. If we just focus on benefits then there are below benefits of using public transport. 1. Saves Money 2. Reduces Pollution 3. Reduces Traffic Congestion 4. Reduces fuel need Now the problem arises with public transport is when you don't have last mile connectivity that means you don't get public transport to and fro where you live. But then you need to balance out the equation if using your own vehicle as well as the Public Transport. I normally take my bike to office for only 2 days in a week and other 3 days I tend to use Metro to reach to my office. The best thing about Metro for me is that it takes less time than my bike usually takes.

    Today after a long time I have spent time in the kitchen cook ing Vegan Vermicelli. I am a vegetarian thus I have limited option but still once in a while we try something new. Vermicelli is like a pasta but it's a slim thread. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/jc6b3kamx5.jpg) In the packet it said roast before use but you can also boil it just like noodles, this is how I made it. I have boiled around 2 cups of vermicelli and then added two spoons of oil in it so that it should not stick together. After done I have cut some veggies like beans, carrot, onion and potato. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/rvanw3agaz.jpg) Then I fried some onion in a pam using three tablespoon of oil. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/j1jlxpybqd.jpg) After that I have added some veggies and close the lid to cook it for some time. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/bfascvncmu.jpg) After some time added the vermicelli and some soy sauce and then it's ready. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/xttpl5en14.jpg) ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/4bdu7bvrnt.jpg)

    ### [DailyNow](https://www.dailynow.co/) When I have to read some dev articles I have to shift between different websites like Dev.to, Medium, InfoQ, DZOne etc..., I wanted an hacker news like site which will curate the list of dev posts for me. Luckily I found DailyNow which curates the list for me base on my interest and also without going to any website. DailyNow has a Chrome Extension which gives me the articles on clicking on a new tab. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUSbF1bECouJyyoE8JXHkT56cNsQXYs3m4C3gV7NqTfEj/image.png) PC : https://www.dailynow.co/ ### [StackShare](https://stackshare.io/) As a Full Stack Developer, you always have to look for a best tools which can help you to achieve success.
