So Good They Can't Ignore You
So Good They Can't Ignore You: The Secret to Finding Exceptional Success Looking for success in the current competitive era is not easy because opportunities are rare, but you have to take a stand and make it clear; be so good they can’t ignore you. This was a statement made by the comedian Steve Martin; however, this phrase has now been adopted in virtually every career and self-development field, so why is that so? Well, it has a powerful message of how unrivalled success can be made. It somewhat challenges the narrative of just chasing the passion by practicing the art until mastery. This article dives into the reason why being an absolute expert should be the aim, how one can reach such stature, and its impact on one’s life and career. Why People Cannot Resist Excellence The word excellence speaks; no matter where or what the industry is, excellence grabs the attention of all those who hear it, and how does this happen? It happens because there is trust, respect, and reliability that comes with being excellent in one field. The more you master the craft, the more you outshine others, and when the outshine factor starts, people tend to favour you. It’s not enough to be noticed; it’s about being exceptional enough that there is no option, nor chance you are looking back. There are lots of businesses and customers who are looking for people who are consistent in their work, in particular, refined standards. With regards to creative work, people prefer indulgence and are attracted towards the entities whose work gives them feelings they would want to feel. It is safe to assume that being exceptional is attractive. Shattering The Myth of Passionate Pursuance The term “if you love what you do, you won’t have to work a day in your life” has ushered many people’s careers and ambitions. While that might be the case, passion alone wouldn’t cut it in many cases, especially if one wants to be the very best in what they do. As argued in the book ‘So Good They Can’t Ignore You’ by Cal Newport, greatness is typically the result of perseverance and passion, rather than the other way around. To put it simply, you get passionate about something as you start doing it more often, and you begin to see results due to your effort and consistency. This urge to always do your best in your work shifts the purpose from being stuck in search of the one true vocation to extracting intel from developing valuable skills instead. Newport states that being “career capital’ toll is a sure shot way to make one look unforgettable in their domain. This then naturally seems fit to pursue, making a drug of one’s passion to pursue building skills; that way one can achieve success and sustain it. Becoming a Person Who Cannot Be Ignored

Chicken life 😋
A Chicken’s Life Cycle: Both Nature and Upbringing One cannot help but wonder about the many mysteries chickens hold. One may think they are solely an essential part of agriculture, but they are also a key component of various ecosystems and even human societies. While their importance in a living environment is often minimised, a chicken's life is intricate, full of social relationships, and contains extreme versatility. So from the hatching of a chicken to its maturity, it is one of development, progress, and aids nature and humans. The Early Days: An Egg that Transforms into a Chicken I know the development of a chicken or poultry from the inception begins from an egg where the chick stays for almost 21 days encased. Though the embryo is formed at this time and depending on the yolk for nutrition. Assuming it's an egg that is fertilised and the temperature and humidity are just right, once the insides of the developed chicken are fully formed, it will start the process of breaking out of the shell by a process called “pipping”. This event marks the beginning of one of the most critical phases of the life of a baby chick; there are a lot of challenges, such as they are weak and newly formed, which need food and warmth and, more importantly, care. If we look at Mother Nature, the mother herself would do this; however, in commercial or village farms, it is normal to keep chicks in a brooder, which is an enclosure filled with heat lamps, hence imitating a mother hen. During the first few weeks of life, the growth rate of chicks is staggering; they form feathers while thickening their leg muscles and primarily begin exploring their surroundings. More importantly, they interact with their flocks and begin to establish a pecking order, in my opinion, at that time, which was a system that controlled the use of food, water, and space around them. Adolescence: The Pullet Stage As young chickens, or pullet-stage chickens, develop, their roles and personalities throughout the flock become well defined. Snacks, dust baths, and exploration keep young, playful, and active pullets occupied every day. It is a vital phase for developing their social behaviour, as chickens begin to understand their rank in the poultry pecking order. At this point, they start to shift from being fed mostly high-protein chick starter to being offered a more balanced complementary diet containing some grains, greens, and supplements with insects. Chickens are omnivores, so they have a wide range of foods to cater to their nutritional needs to allow them to grow healthy and strong. Hens and roosters can now be told apart as pullets start developing certain traits. They consist of larger combs and wattles and more colourful tail feathers, which mean they are roosters. For starters, aim to tackle why roosters crow as they do when they are mature enough to fan out their tail feathers. Adulthood: The Years for Productivity The chicken is an adult at the age of six months; as soon as egg production starts, hens have reached the age of laying eggs, which is one of the most significant contributions for mankind. A strong hen can produce more than 250 to 300 eggs in a whole year, and it also depends on the species, feed, and conditions. The peak egg production occurs during the first two years of life in a hen, and it is known to reduce with age thereafter. Speaking of an adult chicken, they tend to be very sociable animals; they have a wide variety of sounds, body postures, and movements, and by using those characteristics and features, they are able to communicate with each other, and roosters crow to mark their territory or to notify hens about threats. There is this behaviour in chickens, called dust bathing, which is important in keeping the feathers unobstructed by parasites. Natural foraging, which is the search for food, be it seeds, insects, or any source of nourishment, is a behaviour in chickens that is encouraged whenever they are free to roam. Foraging plays a double role; besides it acting as food for the chickens, it also serves as nourishment for their minds and bodies. On the contrary, chickens that are raised in restricted environments don’t get enough chances to engage in these resourceful activities, and it would somehow influence their well-being. The Life of a Chicken Poultry farming chickens’ lives are not as easy as some may think. When it comes to free-range birds, these chickens have to deal with a myriad of predators such as hawks, raccoons, and even foxes. Furthermore, harsh weather, diseases, and parasites facilitate their challenges as well. As for the commercial side, chickens have even more worrisome challenges, which include but are not limited to being crammed in one place, along with being deprived of natural sunlight and air, all of which can lead to health complications. Much of these issues relate to farming ethics, which, along with farm animals’ rights, has been a prevalent concern as of late. Importance of Chickens Humans and chickens have had an interpersonal relationship for thousands of years because domesticated chickens are believed to have been used for meat and even hourglass. However, there is much more use, but one of the most important ones would be trade and agriculture, which leads towards food security in different countries and cultures. Poultry farming chickens are now much more revered along with their intelligence and personality. This is why, in recent times, those people looking for fresh eggs, companionship, or simply pest control have significantly increased keeping chickens in their backyard. Decline and Contribution Chickens are known to reach a point in their life when they stop laying eggs; this is the case with all creatures. Once called ‘spend Hens,’ fine with sitting at the bottom part of the pecking order. In some cases, they reside in peaceful environments for the rest of their lives, and in other cases, they are used for meat or clothing materials. As a part of the ecosystems that chickens are fully a part of, they allow improvements in soil, aid in pest control, and can be used for fertilising land. Which is all connected to a clean and a user-friendly economical stance. Final Thoughts In all dire situations, their life cycles do tease a subject of being flexible along with being strong and ambitious at a broader level. Price the ego up, and Lady Gaga once said, ‘Born this way.’ They single-handedly cover it all, around smartly to stunningly being capable of sitting as providers as well as enriching the ecological circle, not to forget the companionship they can provide and much more, all starting from where an egg left. Adjust perspectives about them alone CROSS TARGET FOR SYSTEMATIC PURPOSES.

COMFORTABLE ZONE
Jump out of your comfort zone. Have you ever heard the phrase "comfort zone"? It's that safe and cosy place where we feel secure and relaxed. It's where everything is familiar, and we know exactly what to expect. While it feels nice to stay there, nothing new or exciting ever happens in the comfort zone. If we want to grow, learn, and achieve great things, we have to take a big step out of it! What is the Comfort Zone? The comfort zone is a bubble that we live in. Inside of this bubble, we do things we already know how to do, like playing our favourite games, reading our favourite books, or hanging out with close friends.

SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION
Ways to Overcome Social Media Addiction Yes. It’s hard not to notice the amount of time we waste using social media. It's even harder to understand when a simple post turns into an obsession to the point that you cannot leave, aimlessly scrolling through it. The good news is, it’s not your fault because social media applications are built to enthral you and hold your attention. It would be easier for you to say when you would rather take control of your life instead. While this article’s topic is interesting, there’s more for you and us to discuss regarding wider social media addiction in general and more in-depth why and how to abandon social media for good.

LIFE WITH NO ENEMIES
Living a Life without Enemies Now picture how life would be if there were no enmity and hate while fights were avoided, and everyone lived in harmony. This is what a life without an enemy is like! It's a place where enmity has no place and people actively choose to be kind and sympathetic to each other. Enmity might not necessarily mean orthodoxy in all discussions. It is, rather, about having a sophisticated approach that is still accommodating to conflict.

HOW TO AVOID COLD AND COOL IN WINTER .
Winter leads to snowfalls that call for sweaters and hot chocolate, but it is also a season that weakens our immunity, leading to colds. To put it simply, while winter is a great season, it can take a turn for the worse if you are not being careful. For people who would like to enjoy the season without having to deal with a sore throat, a runny nose, or a cough, winters can be tricky. So to ensure that you are able to enjoy everything that comes with winter, make sure to follow the tips given below. Warm clothes should be worn. To protect oneself from the winter season, especially the chilly winds or even snow, it is essential that the proper clothing is worn. A T-shirt, jacket, and a warm sweater, along with accessories such as hats, gloves, and scarves, would be ideal for such weather. It is vital that you remember to cover your head, hands, and neck, as these specific body areas are prone to rapid heat loss. Do Plenty of Hand Washing Touching is one of the most common ways to transfer the cold virus. For example, a person suffering from a cold may touch a door handle or a table, leaving behind the virus germ. The germ can be transferred to you if you touch that same surface and then your face. To help prevent this, you should wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If you do not have a sink, always carry a hand sanitiser that contains about 60 percent alcohol. Ensure Proper Nutrition Habits The best way to deal with a cold is by developing or boosting your immune system. In order to have a strong immune system, eat well by focusing on a variety of vegetables and fruits. Vitamin C-rich foods, such as oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers, are very effective at combating colds. Also, do not forget to include other essential and healthy foods such as nuts, fish, and whole grains, which provide your body with nutrients that are needed. Drink More Water It is a widespread misconception that one does not need to drink as much water during winters. Alas, this may lead to dehydration and many other issues. Drinking adequate amounts of water helps the organs to function properly and is vital for good health. Aim to take at least 8 cups of water, and on the other hand, you can take herbal teas to warm yourself up. Cut down on sugary beverages or caffeinated drinks as they contribute to hydration. Get an Adequate Amount of Rest
