We’ll See – A Chinese Proverb

We’ll See – A Chinese Proverb | IMPOSSIBLE:
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years.
One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically, “you must be so sad.”
“We’ll see,” the farmer replied.
The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it two other wild horses.
“How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed! “Not only did your horse return, but you received two more. What great fortune you have!”
“We’ll see,” answered the farmer.
The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. “Now your son cannot help you with your farming,” they said. “What terrible luck you have!”
“We’ll see,” replied the old farmer.
The following week, military officials came to the village to conscript young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Such great news. You must be so happy!”
The man smiled to himself and said once again.
“We’ll see,”

Mother Teresa: Do good anyway

Adam Y Zhang - Good Kisser

Mother Teresa: ‘Do good anyway’:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Page cannibalization

Timothy Valentine - Summit Stairway

What to do if you have two pages targeting the same keyword?

This is called cannibalization.

Let’s say you have two pages: Page 1 (important) and Page 2 (less important). Both target the same keyword.

If you have the technical ability, move the new info from Page 2 to Page 1. In the end, have one nice big article with everything—Page 1.

Then, keep only one of them. The best option – Page 1.

Then, after you delete article #2, 301 redirect from #2 to #1.

If you can modify any backlinks from the Internet to #2 to lead directly to #1, do that.

Do some link-building on the Internet to #1.

If you do that, you should be OK!

It’s common knowledge that when you exercise, you become stronger. You increase your power.

There’s a book by Maria Duduman, „Exercises of love”.

The title might let you think that it’s an exercise of love, that you will know how to love more, by exercising small but continuous acts of love.

It might be.

But, to me, the book is about courage.
