This is me during the first week of my classes. I am mostly an introverted person, although I enjoy it, sometimes it's really important to communicate with others. Active listening is key.
Telling Tales I am going to share with you guys the power of compounding. Most of us is in the early 20s. We probably have not think about our retirement yet. Lately I have been learning more about investing and discover the power of compound interest. Here's a gif from the balance to explain more about it. One compound interest example: Let’s say if you are in the age 20, invested $1,000 today. If you didn’t touch it until you retired at age 70, your money could increase by 32 times. That means that you could end up with around $32,000. (Assuming growth rate of around 7%) But what if you waited another 10 years. Let say you were 30 years old and invest that $1,000 and leave it be until retirement? In that case, you’d only end up with half as much as above, just $16,000. And if you waited until 40? That’d cut the amount you’d be left with in half again: around $8,000. BUT what if you were to invest that $1,000 at age 20 and contribute $83 a month (around $1,000 a year) until...
This is the picture that I pick for the exercise today. I first saw this picture around 2016 as a photo winner for wildlife photo contest I think.

I think the message here is to save the endangered species that still around as they are on the edge of extinction.
Welcome to my final portfolio. I went through all of my free creations and picked on 5 specific favorites from the duration of this course. These rankings are based on my personal enjoyment writing about the topic and sharing my thoughts, as well as on how relevant I believe they were to class discussions. I added hyperlink to each of the title that go directly to the specific posts. Before going through each of them, I would like to explain the method I have been using through my posts. First of all, I chose to use blogspot to post my free creations because I think blogspot is the simplest and probably the oldest online blog-publishing service (since 1999). I also used blogspot before for my other school project, which an advantage for me since I'm already familiar with the platform. I decided to keep my home page as plain as possible because I like it simple. I prefer my blog to be basic without many distractions from colors ...
