Surviving The Next Onslaught - Fiat Money Vs Commodity Money

looking back, looks forward & lost along the paths ...

The difficult past has always been a push factor - the motivators. Hardship mould the character & survival thickens it. Giving up was never a choice 手停口停

Why are mental issues, like depression, anxiety, suspicions & intolerance on the rise? Perhaps, they are getting more attention & airings because of eMedia but there are scientific bases to prove that certain chemicals are lacking or worn off within the body

A weakened body cannot sustain a stable mind, but a strong mind can push the body to extreme limits  

Mind over body ~ a natural instinct that not everybody has or is gutsy nor able to experience

The world has never stayed immobile nor stagnant, but everchanging & developing ~ change is the only constant

There is an answer to every problem. It's illusive because many look at the problem instead of looking for solutions

A journey is never wrong if you start in the right direction; it's just the speed  

The past will not return & the future remains a mystery. Use today to rectify yesterday follies & be empowered with hopes and positivity for the many tomorrows to come

Budai - the Laughing Buddha - is the symbol of happiness, abundance & contentment

Life on Earth is transient 

Do your best & leave the rest; GOD willing, everyone gets whatever they are 'entitled' 天意~天助我也

The world is getting smaller as information are compacted, speed manifest & the populace are highly mobile ~ more noises are generated than the average person can process & digest
 
Contentment - a simple word without bondage 知足常乐 明天和意外哪个先到谁也不知 

Challenges are not obstacle but 'the baptism of fire' ~ from ashes rise the phoenix ~ success is as natural as day & night when you go with the flow

The world is forever changing, made faster by erratic, eccentric, & greedy dictatorial politicians as they turned Master over their citizens instead of serving [their needs]  

The world economy has grown & expanded after the Great Depression & despite WW1 & WW2 - the pains & sufferings of economic disruption & the WWs were painful reminders

The end of the era of colonialists had loosen up control but it did not prevent 'grab, command & control' by the West - Imperialists & Hegemony are well & alive

Will the world enter the next depression, economic disruption or another WW? The chance of occurrence is real as the "Thucydides Trap"; describes as the heightened risk of conflict when a rising power threatens to displace an established dominant power is apparent. US has refused to accept, despite assurances, that China is not interested in being No. 1

How to survive the next onslaught of WW or economic meltdown? Accept whatever may come as there is little choice - when the elephants fight, the grass suffer
Live best when others live worse

Money is a means of exchange, but without recognition, it's another piece of wastepaper.  Fiat money is government-issued currency that has no intrinsic value

The opposite of fiat money is commodity money [Commodity money is backed by tangible assets such as gold, silver, or other precious metals] or non-fiat currency, which has intrinsic value or is backed by tangible assets

Reduce gearing or ungear whenever possible. Store enough food, medicines, water & basic necessities to last a month or two [most emergencies would have settled down or become more manageable after the initial 'fallouts']. Keep a little commodity money to hedge against total loss of value

Do Not be overly alarmed! The world is not going to end but it is likely to level down. Everyone has a chance to rise again ~ just be there when the situation gets better

GOD willing
