Zodiac signs that find it hard to accept mistakes
I observe four individuals in a dimly lit study. Their expressions and postures convey stubbornness, pride, intensity, and detachment. Making mistakes feels terrible and not accepting it is the sign of stubborness. Some signs can find it tough to admit when they make mistakes. While everyone is different, certain signs are known for having a bit of trouble saying sorry. 1. Leo Leos like to be confident, and saying sorry can be hard for them. They feel proud and don't want to admit when things go wrong. Showing they made a mistake can be a bit tricky for these lions. 2. Aries Arians are bold and love challenges. Saying sorry might feel like they're not winning, and they don't like that feeling. Their adventurous spirit can make it hard for them to admit when they make a mistake. 3. Sagittarius Sagittarians are always looking at the bright side. Admitting mistakes might feel like a downer for them. They prefer to focus on the next exciting thing rather than dwelling on errors. 4. Gemini Geminis are quick thinkers, and saying sorry might make them feel misunderstood. They don't like being seen as wrong, so they sometimes find it easier to avoid admitting mistakes. 5. Scorpio Scorpios like to be in control, and saying sorry can feel like losing control. Their secretive nature makes it challenging for them to show vulnerability and admit when they've made a mistake. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urban Ascent by Emaar- RERA Registered project @ ₹5.25 Cr* Emaar India Get Quote Undo These signs having difficulty saying sorry is just one way to look at things.

Crypto payments for Thailand tourists: US, UAE, Japan and other countries that let you pay with Bitcoin, Ether, more
Financial regulators in Thailand are mulling to let foreign tourists exchange cryptocurrency in exchange of Thai Baht to make purchases across the country, in a move to enhance its tourism sector. In a recently proposed initiative, the country announced intentions of launching a crypto sandbox for its tourists, who can convert their Bitcoin into real money and purchase goods and services. While the move is aimed to woo more tourists, Thailand is not the only country that accepts crypto payments. Here are six others. El Salvador was the first country to accept Bitcoin as a legal tender in 2021, allowing citizens and tourists alike to use the crypto coin for everyday life shopping, food and travel. However, the country agreed to roll back some aspects of Bitcoin usage following intervention from the IMF. One of Eurpoe's most crypto-forward nations, Malta is often called the 'Blockchain Island'. Retailers and restaurants across the country began accepting Bitcoin as early as 2016. Tourists can also use their digital assets to book flights and accommodations in Malta. Malta's Virtual Financial Assets Act (VFAA), which was introduced in 2018, streamlines licensing for crypto companies. The United Arab Emirates, especially Dubai, has witnessed a rapid growth of cryptocurrency adoption across sectors including retail, real estate, and hospitality. Top developers like DAMAC and Emaar accept Bitcoin and Ether payments to purchase properties. Expanding the opportunity, Emirates Airlines earlier this month signed an MoU with to accept crypto payments for booking flights. The airlines will by 2026 accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital currencies for flight bookings and in-flight services. Portugal, another crypto-friendly nation in Europe, encourages adoption of cryptocurrencies via tax policies and relaxed regulations. While it is not yet a legal tender in the country, many businesses accept Bitcoin payments. Japan recognised Bitcoin as a legal payment method as early as 2017, becoming one of the first countries to do so. While most transactions in Japan are cash-reliant, some retailers, electronics stores, as well as travel agencies now accept Bitcoin for tourists and residents. With Donald Trump's crypto push, the United States is adopting digital assets more than ever, though it is not yet a uniform system yet. However, tourists can leverage digital assets while travelling within the country.

Save up to 10% on your first home purchase in Dubai
Launched just two weeks ago, this government-backed initiative is a collaboration between the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Department of Economy and Tourism, aimed at making homeownership more accessible, especially for first-time buyers. Leading developers, including Emaar, Nakheel, Azizi, and Binghatti, have already signed up, pledging direct discounts on properties. Industry insiders suggest these discounts could reach as high as 10% on homes priced up to Dh5 million. So, whether you're considering a cozy one-bedroom apartment or a spacious family villa, this programme could be the perfect opportunity to step into Dubai's property market. Am I eligible? You're eligible if you: Are 18+ and currently live in the UAE Don't own a freehold property in Dubai Want to buy a home under Dhs5 million Are applying alone or jointly (if all parties qualify) Own property in a non-freehold area? You're still eligible! Want to buy a home under Dhs5 million Once registered, you'll get priority notifications for new launches, whether or not you've found the right property yet. What perks do I get as a first-time buyer? No fluff. Here's what you'll actually get: Priority access to off-plan launches from top developers Discounted prices on select new properties Flexible payment plans, including DLD fee instalments via credit card Preferential mortgage rates from participating banks Faster mortgage approvals No extra cost to join the programme (you still pay standard DLD/Developer fees unless specified) Don't need a mortgage? You can still benefit from all property-related discounts. Who's involved? The Dubai First Home initiative is backed by some of the biggest names in real estate and banking. Developers: Emaar, Nakheel, Meraas, DAMAC, Danube, Azizi, Ellington, Dubai Properties, Majid Al Futtaim, Binghatti, Beyond, Wasl, Palma Holding have already signed up, and more are expected to join. These developers are offering direct discounts of up to 10% on selected properties priced under Dhs5 million. So far, 13 developers have officially signed on. Banks: Commercial Bank of Dubai, Emirates NBD, Mashreq, Dubai Islamic Bank, and Emirates Islamic are participating, each offering tailored mortgage products for first-time buyers. While mortgage interest rates remain stable at an average of ~3.99% for the first three years (before switching to a variable rate), some banks are offering reduced processing fees and may waive valuation costs under the programme. Is it worth it? Short answer: yes. First-time buyers could save Dh8,000 to Dh10,000 in reduced bank fees over the first few years, thanks to waived or discounted charges. On top of that, developers are offering up to 10% off property prices, plus flexible payment plans and faster mortgage approvals. And while mortgage interest rates haven't dropped yet, US rate cuts are expected later this year, which could lead to lower mortgage costs in the UAE, giving buyers even more long-term value. In short, this is a smart time to take your first step into Dubai's property market. I'm sold. How do I apply? You can register online now, via the official DLD website, and if you're not eligible, they'll let you know why so you can reapply later.
