Today at techie youth I was informed about how credit cards
^ this is beneficial because when the property is file, you can still recover funds plus make profit because property is an asset (it appreciates in value)
When you face anxiety, nervousness, fear, or worry, try the following technique: imagine all possible negative consequences of the situation you are confronting. Then, conceive of the worst outcome, even if there’s little chance events will turn out that way—imagine everything that could go wrong, in the worst possible way. Envision the worst outcome
When you exaggerate your fears and imagine the worst thing that could happen, you make your impending fears look unreasonable. You will realize that even the worst possible scenario isn’t so terrible after all. Often, this deliberation—and your sense of humor—usually restores your perspective on the anxiety you’re facing. You’ll realize that, at the worst, nothing that could happen to you is ultimately that significant.
Tin order to get rid of anxiety, you must first embrace it.
Ask yourself, “What's the worst that could happen”. It is beneficial to contemplate potential misfortunes in advance and reinstating emotional calm through positive affirmations. This classic technique of the Hellenistic world in due course laid the foundation for exposure therapy where anxiety is treated via exposure to stressful events either in vitro (in the laboratory of the mind) or in vivo (in real life.) Russell provides this explanation of exposure therapy:
Worry is a form of fear, and all forms of fear produce fatigue. A man who has learned not to feel fear will find the fatigue of daily life enormously diminished. … The proper course with every kind of fear is to think about it rationally and calmly, but with great concentration, until it has been completely familiar.
Today at techie youth I learned about profit models
A profit model refers to a company’s plan that aims to make the business profitable and viable. It lays out what the company plans to manufacture or provide, how sales will be generated, and all the expenses that the business will incur in a bid to make the model viable. Without a concrete profit model, the business will be operating blindly and will be much less likely to become profitable.
Types of Profit Models
There are various types of profit models, depending on the activities the company performs and how it charges for such activities. The different profit models include:
1. Production model
The production model involves the creation of a product or service for sale to consumers. The company purchases raw materials for use in the production process, then adds value to the product in order to obtain a finished product.
The product is then sold directly to the consumer or to a wholesaler or retailer who then resells the product to consumers. An example is a soap manufacturer that sells its finished products directly to customers or wholesalers who resell the product to consumers.
2. Rental/Leasing model
The rental/leasing model involves such things as renting or leasing of motor vehicles, buildings, machinery and equipment, land, office furniture, and computers. For example, a landlord and tenant enter into an agreement where the tenant agrees to pay a certain fee for the temporary use of the housing asset owned by the landlord.
After the expiry of the lease or rental period, the property reverts back to the landlord.
3. Advertising model
The advertising model involves providing an advertising space that businesses can use to promote their service and product offerings. An advertising model is mainly used by media companies that provide free information to the public and rely on advertisements to generate revenue. They sell advertising space in newspapers, magazines, television, websites, and mobile applications.
4. Commission model
The commission model generates revenues by charging a fee when it offers a service to another party. An example is a brokerage or an auctioneer that acts as an intermediary between two parties. The intermediary then charges a commission depending on the value of the transaction.
Roles of a product manager

Today at techie youth I learned about software engineering
Th guidelines listed below is recommended to be followed while testing the software
1) Development team should avoid testing the software
Testing should always be performed by the testing team. The developer team should never test the software themselves. This is because after spending several hours building the software, it might unconsciously become too proprietorial and that might prevent seeing any flaws in the system.
2) Start as early as possible
Testing should always starts parallelly alongside the requirement analysis process. This is crucial in order to avoid the problem of defect migration. It is important to determine the test objects and scope as early as possible.
3) Testing must be done with unexpected and negative inputs
Testing should be done with correct data and test cases as well as with flawed test cases to make sure the system is leak proof. Test cases must be well documented to ensure future reuse for testing at later stages. This means that the test cases must be enlisted with proper definitions and descriptions of inputs passed and respective outputs expected. Testing should be done for functional as well as the non-functional requirements of the software product.
