*Chinese lawmakers* have agreed to raise the local government debt ceiling by $840 billion, *opening up new funds for its ailing economy* .

The move would raise _"the local government debt limit by six trillion yuan, which will be used to replace existing hidden debts, freeing up space for local governments to better develop the economy and protect people's livelihood,"_ *state broadcaster CCTV* said.

The stimulus package comes as *Beijing eyes the possibility of intensified trade tensions with the United States* , after president-elect Donald Trump vowed to slap punishing tariffs on Chinese goods.

Observers say Beijing could seek to cushion that trade blow with *a long-awaited "bazooka stimulus" for the economy* .

Cheetah

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat and the fastest land animal. It has a tawny to creamy white or pale buff fur that is marked with evenly spaced, solid black spots. The head is small and rounded, with a short snout and black tear-like facial streaks. It reaches 67–94 cm (26–37 in) at the shoulder, and the head-and-body length is between 1.1 and 1.5 m (3 ft 7 in and 4 ft 11 in). Adults weigh between 21 and 72 kg (46 and 159 lb). The cheetah is capable of running at 93 to 104 km/h (58 to 65 mph); it has evolved specialized adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail.

The cheetah was first described in the late 18th century. Four subspecies are recognised today that are native to Africa and central Iran. An African subspecies was introduced to India in 2022. It is now distributed mainly in small, fragmented populations in northwestern, eastern and southern Africa and central Iran. It lives in a variety of habitats such as savannahs in the Serengeti, arid mountain ranges in the Sahara, and hilly desert terrain.

The cheetah lives in three main social groups: females and their cubs, male "coalitions", and solitary males. While females lead a nomadic life searching for prey in large home ranges, males are more sedentary and instead establish much smaller territories in areas with plentiful prey and access to females. The cheetah is active during the day, with peaks during dawn and dusk. It feeds on small- to medium-sized prey, mostly weighing under 40 kg (88 lb), and prefers medium-sized ungulates such as impala, springbok and Thomson's gazelles. The cheetah typically stalks its prey within 60–100 m (200–330 ft) before charging towards it, trips it during the chase and bites its throat to suffocate it to death. It breeds throughout the year. After a gestation of nearly three months, females give birth to a litter of three or four cubs. Cheetah cubs are highly vulnerable to predation by other large carnivores. They are weaned at around four months and are independent by around 20 months of age.

The cheetah is threatened by habitat loss, conflict with humans, poaching and high susceptibility to diseases. The global cheetah population was estimated in 2021 at 6,517; it is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising, and animation. It was tamed in ancient Egypt and trained for hunting ungulates in the Arabian Peninsula and India. It has been kept in zoos since the early 19th century.

LIONS

The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera, native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body; a short, rounded head; round ears; and a dark, hairy tuft at the tip of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related females, and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on medium-sized and large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator; although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur and have been known to hunt humans, lions typically do not actively seek out and prey on humans.

The lion inhabits grasslands, savannahs, and shrublands. It is usually more diurnal than other wild cats, but when persecuted, it adapts to being active at night and at twilight. During the Neolithic period, the lion ranged throughout Africa and Eurasia, from Southeast Europe to India, but it has been reduced to fragmented populations in sub-Saharan Africa and one population in western India. It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Lion populations are untenable outside designated protected areas. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern.

One of the most widely recognised animal symbols in human culture, the lion has been extensively depicted in sculptures and paintings, on national flags, and in literature and films. Lions have been kept in menageries since the time of the Roman Empire and have been a key species sought for exhibition in zoological gardens across the world since the late 18th century. Cultural depictions of lions were prominent in Ancient Egypt, and depictions have occurred in virtually all ancient and medieval cultures in the lion's historic and current range.

Baby Camel and Mother

A mother and a baby camel were lying around, and suddenly the baby camel asked, "mother, may I ask you some questions? Mother said, "Sure! Why son, is there something bothering you? Baby said, "Why do camels have humps?" Mother said "Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water". Baby said, "Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?" Mother said, "Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone does!" Baby said, "Okay, then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it bothers my sight". Mother with pride said, "My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind".

Baby after thinking said, "I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protect my eyes from the desert then what in god's name are we doing here in the Zoo!?"

Moral: Skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences are only useful if you are at the right place.

Does hard work really beat talent as most people claim?

Let me tell you one rule, which you can follow almost universally.

And the rule is very simple.

Whenever you hear that there is a principle that is believed by most people as RIGHT, you can be sure that the principle is absolutely WRONG.

In other words,

The degree of the falsehood of a statement is directly proportional to its popularity.

It is true that most people believe that hard work beats talent.

Hence, rest assured that hard work can’t beat talent.

If you don’t wish to join the gang of the majority who have lost all their self-confidence and prefer to follow the crowd, then instead of using your hard work to beat talent, do the following.

Use hard work to nurture talent.
Use your talent to beat the hard work.
Let me now explain these two principles in detail.

1. Use hard work to nurture talent

Every human being has a talent for something.

In the same way, no human being has a talent for everything.

Let's take the case of Albert Einstein.

Einstein wrote four papers in 1905, on the topics of relativity, Brownian motion, Photoelectric effect and mass-energy equivalence.

All papers were so great that each paper deserved a Nobel Prize.

And he was hardly 26 years of age when he achieved this feat.

Unless you are super dumb and stupid, you don’t need convincing that Einstein was highly talented for this type of work.

It is not to say that he did not work hard.

However, he did not work hard to beat talent but rather worked hard to nurture his talent, which resulted in the creation of such great work for humanity at such a young age.

Imagine that instead of doing scientific research, Einstein had rather chosen to work very very hard to become a great soccer player!.

He would have perhaps been a failed sportsman who led a miserable life.

2. Use your talent to beat the hard work

While hard work can’t beat talent, you can use your talent to beat hard work.

As a matter of fact, you can recognise your talent only when you are using it to beat hard work.

If you wish to identify your talent, always try to find out the most efficient way to produce the result.

When you discover that in any particular area, you can produce results with much lesser effort as compared to others, you identify your talent in such an arena.

If you work too hard to succeed in a particular area, that is a sure indication that you lack talent in that area.

Hence, you have to keep experimenting with different things in life, till you find your talent.

Once you discover your talent, work hard to nourish your talent, instead of trying to beat a talent with your hard work.

Albert Einstein said this so wisely, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

A fish can never climb a tree however hard it tries since it does not have the talent for climbing a tree.

However, even a lion can’t beat a fish when it comes to swimming inside water.

In the same way, you can’t succeed in any area of life for which you don’t have the desired talent., while in the area of talent, you can zoom through success easily.

The real challenge is to identify your talent since talent is not like the beauty of a person that is visible to the naked eye.

Hence, don’t believe in the stupid popular sayings which are freely available in the marketplace.

Instead, apply your mind to find the truth yourself to lead a happy and successful life.

Now that is the most important talent you have to start developing now.

A graduate in Biology was having difficulty in finding a job. He saw an advert in one of the daily newspapers for a job at a zoo.

In the interview, the manager told him that their gorilla, which had been a tourists attraction has died so they needed someone to dress up and pretend as a gorilla.

The graduate was embarra$$ed, but since the salary was okay, he accepted the job.

The first day, he put on the gorilla skin and entered the cage, he started jumping up and down, beating his chest and roared like a gorilla.

The next day, he put on a gorilla skin and started moving around the zoo again and mistakenly entered another cage and found himself staring at a lion.

The lion r0ared and rushed towards him. The scared graduate quickly forgot that he is a g0rilla and started shouting like a human, "Help! Help!" The lion leaped onto him, knocked him to the ground and whispered in his ear*Dennis*, it's me Mike, your course mate."
My brother, No job in this country, Infact that croc0dile in that water is not a crocodilie, it is John

Forget the butterflies, I feel the entire zoo in my stomach when I'm with you.
