Metallica has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide.
They have played more than 1,600 concerts throughout their career, performing on every continent and ranking among the most profitable live bands.
Among their records, they stand out as the first and only band to have performed on all 7 continents, including a historic show in Antarctica in 2013 that earned them a Guinness World Record. They have won 10 Grammy Awards, have six consecutive number-one albums on the Billboard charts, and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. They are the most commercially successful metal band in history.
James Hetfield's response to this question is brilliant.
Being and staying grateful for what you have is what makes you feel comfortable in all parts of your life.
A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.

There is a little coffee shop, where two people arrive and approached the counter.
“Five coffees please. Two for us and three hanging.”
They paid, they took their two coffees and left.
I asked the waiter. "What’s this about hanging coffees?"
“Wait and you'll see."
Some more people came in.
Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid & left.
The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women - ‘three for them and four hanging coffees.’
I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the hanging coffees, they leave.
Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely...
“Do you have a coffee hanging?"
“Yes we do, sir.”
They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer.
People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink.
This tradition started in Naples.
Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns.
It’s also possible to order not only "hanging coffees" but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live?
Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine.
Maybe we should all try it.

Please make this your must read for the day.
A very large published body of research on curcumin, the bioactive compound in turmeric, was performed by an Indian researcher named Bharat Aggarwal.
He published around 120 papers on the benefits of curcumin for various cancers, Alzheimer's disease, infections including #Covid_19
But, most of that research was fraud.
A large number of Bharat Aggarwal's articles are now getting retracted by major journals because he manipulated data or images in them.
Bharat Aggarwal made large amount of money by being advisor or paid speaker for turmeric supplements companies based on the fraud studies he published.
Turmeric/curcumin supplements are widely sold globally. And millions spent on conducting research and more millions spent by its consumers believing its "healing potential."
But the "healing potential" was all based on research fraud.
Curcumin does not work well as a treatment agent for any disease. Truthful studies conducted in humans have never found any benefits that lab studies had discovered. Curcumin will show activity in essentially any lab assay you throw at it, because it is a very powerful assay interference compound and many researchers are misled by this. In fact, no well-powered clinical trials have ever found it to be an effective medicine.
Nationalism probably got the better of Aggarwal instead of factual scientific doscovery as he declared curcumin "the Indian solid gold," which unfortunately, turned out "Indian solid fraud."
The scientific community needs to stop wasting time, money, resources and human hours studying curcumin/ turmeric because it is the most intelligent thing to do.
