There are so many questions in the world that have been around and some are meant to never be solved because the universe has always had a secret. And some questions are just comforting to us to know the answer, that can give us light and hope when we feel lost in life's unending struggles.

Some Quora answers are just top and well written, that make you feel guilty for reading that valuable material for free. It feels like it deserved more than as it is just free to read, sometimes we don’t even recognize who's the person writing that answer, truly they deserved more out of it.

Here are some 10 most Quora’s best question and answers that in my opinion is life changing reading material. It gives me comfort and better understanding on how to act better to survive and thrive in this journey of life.

1. What is the meaning of life?

Asim Qureshi answer’s is the most upvoted in this question, he answers:

Quora: Try this. Go to a cafe in a busy part of a city and take a seat that gives you a view of people walking past - perhaps a table on the pavement outside.

Now observe.

What you'll see is hundreds, and, if time permits, thousands of people busily walking to their destinations. Rich, poor, old, young, men, women, boys and girls, not where they want to be, trying to get to some place that they do want to be. When they get there, they’ll soon want to be somewhere else.

You'll see a struggle on most people's faces.

And that's life. We're all trying to get somewhere we're not. It’s a struggle, which only ends on the day we die.

3. How does one succeed in life?

James Altucher wrote very thorough answer about this, so the summary of his answer is

A. VALUES - what do you value most in your life?

B. PERSISTENCE

If you improve 1% a day at the things you love, then very quickly you find obstacles. 1% a day equals 3800% in a year when compounding.

C. PATIENCE

I’ve asked 400 of the most successful people in the world what they did when they were at their worst.

D. READY. FIRE. AIM

Sara Blakely, the wealthiest self-made woman in the world (she created Spanx) got her first big order and had only a few weeks to deliver.

E. OBSESSION

When you love something, you WANT to do it in every spare moment.

F. TALENT SEX

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, told me, “I’m pretty good at drawing, but not the best. I’m pretty good at writing, but not the best. I’m pretty funny, but not the best, and I’m pretty good at business, but not the best. But I’m probably the best at the combination.”

G) VISION Don’t read the news. 

Read a lot of books by smart people. Here are some starting points: Sapiens by Yuval Harari the Evolution of Everything by Matt Ridley Antifragile by Nassim Taleb Zero to One by Peter Thiel Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke

H) PERSUASION 

Every successful person I know, knows how to persuade. Robert Cialdini’s book “Influence” is the Bible of persuasion techniques. BUT, Vision + Obsession + Health makes it easy to persuade others.

I) EMPATHY 

Rule #3 of improvisation is: “Make your scene partner look good.” Nobody gives a shit about you. Stop caring so much about what people think of you.

J) PROBLEM SOLVING 

- get a waiter’s pad every day 

- write down ten ideas

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot.

flutter button left text Developing a flutter UI is very difficult for a beginner or I think any other technology it’s very intimidating for a starter. I remember my first time trying to make a button in Flutter that had left aligned text in it. I spent a lot of time on how to make it but never made it. Once you are getting familiar with flutter widget or component blocks, you can apply whatever style you want for your app. In html you can just do something like <button style=”text-align:left”>Text</button> but in flutter it is a bit tricky. So here I provide an example on how you can align text inside a flutter button to the left. Flutter button with left align text import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.blue, visualDe
