Modern Ponzis
One of the marvels of nature is the ability to adapt to changing environments. The Evolution Theory (which I only believe in partially) tells us that man was once made for the bushes, sturdy and dangerous, very strong and enduring. This has gradually been changing to the softer side. Today, man cannot even stand the chill of dusk! Being the copy-cat that man is, this has been fully taken advantage with concepts like continuous development and rebranding. You have probably seen the same bread wrapped in a new cover to be proposedly revamped and more nutritious! A famous cliché goes like the monkeys are always the same, what changes is forest. The truth cannot be emphasized more.
When the pyramid schemes were invented, they took "entrepreneurs" by storm. The logic behind it was seen in the short-term rather than the long-term. The "get rich quick" syndrome infected them and those. The contagious wave swept valleys and hills alike, and by the time the truth came out, many had been defrauded. In my country, families were broken and lives taken. Many lessons were learnt but one. The bigger they come, the harder they fall.
But do we ever learn? The apparition has been unleashed again. Only this time sand-witched and creamed! Every TV station has a "Royalty Rewards Scheme". A game so simple that even the biggest fool would have a chance at it. Just like true gambling. But is it just that? Is it a chancing game? Be it or not, that is beyond the question, after all, random selection is a rule that has no particular format. Thus anyone can be a winner! But what are we winning here? Where is this money coming from? Definitely not from a portion of the year round profits of the giant media business. Not one participant have I heard complain. The SMS is just too costly. And only one SMS does not guarantee you a "good chance".
The more you SMS, the more your chances of winning! The reality, the more money you pool into the scheme, the more the masterminds take home. The "price money" was contributed the first few weeks. The rest is pocket money for some people we all know. The usual suspects that vanished with our money the last time. The wheeler dealers in the public domain. The men with the Midas touch....everything they touch turns to gold. And that includes your hard earned money!
Do You Need to Put in a Private Pool?
Each and every one of us dream of having one where we can relax after a tiring day at work or where we can have a bonding time with our family or friends. Having a pool at home may take a lot of time and energy in maintaining it but it could give you so much fun and enjoyment on days to come. Let us examine the advantages and disadvantages of having a private pool at home.
If you want to consider having a pool in your house, it may be an entertainment area for times you would want to have a party at home or if you just want to bond with your family or friends. This may possibly give them a great view of the area. It can also be a great place for a barbecue party or if you just want to cool down on hot days. Instead of planning a vacation outdoors you can just do it at the threshold of your home. This will save you time and money as well. Swimming can also make you stay healthy and fit. According to some studies, swimming three to four times a week will progress your heart rate. So, having a swimming pool will not only give you pleasure but also will help you improve your health.
Though having a swimming pool can also give you some disadvantages. If you have children under the age of four, you must give some importance on how you could avoid them on going or playing by themselves at the pool by themselves. There are some cases where children drown because parents forgot to educate their children on the danger of going to the pool by themselves or worst some parents forgot to put some safety devices that will stay their children away from it. As an owner, one must know the first things they need to know on how to prevent accidents. Remember that you will carry the blame if one or two of the children in your neighborhood decided to creep in your house and have a swim in your pool.
Securing and maintaining the pool may be quite expensive. There are some security gadgets available online or in the market these days. Having a pool may also trigger future buyers of your house because some people avoid buying a house with pool because they know the dangers and the responsibilities they have to carry in owning one. It may add beauty to your home but also it may give you some problems in maintaining it. Also, changing the water in the pool once in a while will also take so much of your time and it may cost a lot on your water bill.
So, there are a lot of things you need to consider if you want to buy a house with a swimming pool or if you want to install one at home. It is best to consider the good things and the bad things of having one.
