This contest is all about the community. Steemit is about giving and without people's generosity, none of this would have been possible. Do you know someone who has always been supporting your blog and bumped up your post by another couple of cents? Have they benefitted the community in any manner? Maybe they are a good friend, or maybe someone you met through Steemit!

If you have dreams then your are alive, if you have goals set in your life then you are surely going to achieve something in life. It is so much required in this era to set your goals be it anything. You can start the goals as small as possible. The goal can be writing a blog post on Steemit (that's a very well defined goal).  By Ashishpaul777 (Own work) [CC BY-SA 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)], via Wikimedia Commons Now since you have defined your goal, you have to be focused on your goals and the best way to be focused is to be like an Eagle. But why like an Eagle? Have you ever noticed an Eagle when it is waiting. They seem to be so majestic, poised and elegant when they patiently wait and scan the horizon. Now the real question is what Eagle does different. **Being Focus** - Eagles have the tremendous ability to be focus on things what matters the most to them and just ignore what does not matter to them. **Confidence in achieving something**- They seem to be the most confident when they see an opportunity. They know they will get success no matter what happens and they do not get anxious or frustrated easily. **Strong Foundation** - Eagle always try to strengthen their foundation thus giving them the advantage of sailing through whatever storm comes into their way. So if you are not like an Eagle in any situation be it looking out for a new job, or getting the college admission or even getting a good post payout here in Steemit then my suggestion would become an Eagle. Turn into an Eagle, you will sail through your goals easily. ## **Upvote, Follow, Resteem** [**@codingdefined**](https://steemit.com/@codingdefined)

Yesterday I went to an art show to SR Kalimat Art Exhibition in UB City Bangalore. The art is mainly in Arabic which I dont understand. But the main point of this post does art can be expensive so that common people could not buy it. All the art which was shown was more than Rs 1,50,000 that is roughly around $2400. I am not commenting on the art because since I do not know Arabic it is very wrong on my part to comment on the art or artist. About the artist  Sharing the images of the art. 1. Bismillah (Acrylic on Canvas) - Price is Rs. 1,56,800 (roughly $2400)  2. Kun Fayakoon (Acrylic on Canvas) - Price is Rs. 1,56,800 (roughly $2400)  3. La ilaha illa Allah (Acrylic on Canvas) - Price is Rs. 1,56,800 (roughly $2400)  I would like to know from you all that does the price worth it or am I missing something.

Plants not only gives Oxygen to the humans there are much more things which plants give. This post is dedicated to all people who love plants and would like to continue working to give them the space they require. So what plants give us, the answer would be Oxygen. But it will not wrong to say that it also increases the humidity in the environment thus helps in rain to some extent. Have you ever played or walked in the park, isn't your mood get refreshed automatically. This is because of the plants in the park, they help to improve the mood and health to all the people who spend their time near them. Thus I have talked the necessary things which plants actually give, but there are so many things plants gives us whether its food, paper etc. Have we given anything to the plant? Just think about it. Yesterday I was going through the road and I found an interesting thing. There was a Tulsi plant which was almost dead but before dying also they have given the world something as beautiful as oneself and that is a baby plant. The original dead tulsi plant.  The baby tulsi plant  And they are not alone, they are so many of them. ### One thing I learn yesterday that "Plants are the Universal / Ultimate Giver". So if you are stresses, depressed just spend time with the plants or trees they will never dissapoint you. ## Upvote, Follow, Resteem @codingdefined

### What Is Stress? ### Stress can be defined as anything that poses a challenge or threat to our or any individual's wellbeing is a stress. But stress is not always bad. Some stresses helps us to get going and are good for us (as I said the good or the bad, can be ugly too).  Image from Pixabay The Stress response is the body’s way of protecting us. When we work properly it helps us to stay focused, energetic and alert. Stress helps us to put the brakes to avoid an accident, thus we can say it also helps us to save our lives. These are the good parts of the stress. When we are stressed our blood pressure rises, breathing becomes more rapid, heart rate rises and muscles become tense. For me the most common symptoms of stress is that I not able to sleep, during my engineering I can hardly sleep for 2 hours before the exams. What's stressful for me may be quite different from what's stressful to someone else. For example, I get terrified on getting up in front of people and speak (in a toasmaste session), whereas most of the people I know do it at ease. Someone performs extremely well under pressure while someone shuts down when work demands escalate. Stress is difficult to define as it is so different for each of us. A good example can be observing people in a steep roller coaster ride some people enjoys it a lot whereas some shuts their eyes and waiting it to be over as soon as possible. So, my question to all of you **Was the roller coaster ride stressful?** The conditions and pressures that purpose stress is referred to as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. But, whatever that places excessive needs on you or forces you to regulate may be stressful. This consists of advantageous activities consisting of getting married, shopping for a house, going to university, or receiving a promotion. ### There are mainly four types of stresses ### • Eustress – It is a short term stress which provides immediate strength. • Distress - Distress is a negative stress brought about by constant readjustments or alterations in a routine. • Hyper stress – Hyper stress occurs when an individual is pushed beyond how much you can handle. • Hypo stress - Hypo stress occurs when an individual is bored or unchallenged. ### How to reduce the stress at work. 1. Recognize warning signs of excessive stress at work which can be due to trouble concentrating, losing interest on work. 2. Reduce work stress by taking care of yourself by having good food, doing exercise. 3. Reduce job stress by organizing and planning beforehand, so that you will not get extra pressure on last minute. 4. You can even approach managers or employers to get assistance of how they manage their work stress. ### You can even remember four A’s to manage your stress. And that is ### Avoid i.e. Avoid Unnecessary Stress, Alter i.e. Alter the situation, Adapt i.e. Adapt to the Situation and Accept i.e. Accept the things you cannot change. “God will never give you anything you can’t handle, so don’t stress”. ## Upvote, Follow, Resteem @codingdefined
