Speaking at a Ballroom Dinner, he remarked he hadn't received a Nobel Prize but valued saving lives over recognition.US President Donald Trump stated that he had stopped multiple global conflicts during his presidency, claiming to have prevented "eight wars in eight months," as he spoke at a Ballroom Dinner event on Wednesday."I don't think any President has stopped one war. I stopped eight wars in eight months," Trump said, referring to his efforts to de-escalate international crises during his tenure.He suggested that his contributions toward global peace had not received due recognition. "Did I get a Nobel Prize? No," he remarked, before adding that he expected a more positive reception in the future. "But I suspect that next year will be better," he said.Underscoring the impact of his actions, Trump said he valued the human cost of conflict above awards or recognition. "But you know what I care about? I saved maybe hundreds and millions of lives," he added.Trump's comments echoed remarks he made earlier on Sunday (local time), when he reiterated that he had been instrumental in resolving several long-standing global conflicts. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on October 13 while travelling to the Middle East, he referred to the Gaza ceasefire as the eighth conflict he had successfully helped end."This will be my eighth war that I have solved, and I hear there is a war now going on between Pakistan and Afghanistan. I said, I'll have to wait till I get back. I am doing another one. Because I am good at solving wars," Trump had said.He reflected on his previous diplomatic interventions, including his claim of de-escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. "Think about India, Pakistan. Think about some of the wars that were going on for years. We had one going for 31, one going for 32, one going for 37 years, with millions of people being killed in every country and I got every one of those done, for the most part, within a day.

Meta employee earning ₹3.2 crore salary says he can't ‘stand work at all’
Meta employee earning ₹3.2 crore salary says he can't ‘stand work at all’; here's what he wants to do instead
A Meta employee recently opened up about his lack of motivation at work despite getting a handsome salary and being just 24, saying that he wants to quit his job as soon as his net worth hits his target of $3 million.
The anonymous user shared that despite being just 24 and getting a salary of around ₹3.2 crore there was no will left in them to work. However, the user did acknowledge the amount of salary being received.
“I'm 24 with 700k nw. I am really blessed to have this at a young age,” the user said in a post on Blind, an anonymous platform for professionals to share their thoughts.
Why Meta employee is working despite no motivation
The Meta employee shared that despite the handsome salary, they find no motivation to work. However, they are tied in the situation due to family needs."At the same time, I can't stand work at all. Everyday I have no motivation to continue on at work and just want to quit. However, I'm tied to making money for my family, the Meta employee said on Blind.
Fighting to save
The Meta employee further continued to say that at this point they are just fighting to save every dollar so that they can reach their target of achieving the required net worth.“I don't know how much longer I have in me. Feel like I'm fighting to save every dollar right now and watch my nw slowly climb.,” the user said on Blind.
They further revealed that their current total compensation is $370,000 now, which is around ₹3.2 crore in India.
Meta employee asks for advice
Concluding the post, the Blind user asked if it gets easier after one hits a net worth of $1 million.“Does it get much easier after 1M? Is the end in sight? My goal is 3M,” the person asked.
What did netizens say?
Reacting to the Meta employee's post, an American Express employee advised to stop looking at the numbers and enjoy the present.“Stop tracking numbers on a screen. Today is the youngest and healthiest you'll ever be. Make every day count,” the Amex employee said.
To this, the OP replied, “For some reason, I can't stop thinking about it. All I think about is working, saving money, and retiring early to finally enjoy my life.”
A Google employee chimed in and said, “I think he/she is saying that you need to find ways to enjoy life now. Otherwise you'll get to some artificially crates 3M number at age 35 and be like wtf did I do the last 11 years. And yes, compounding does start to work magic above 1M.”

The Election Commission reported no appeals against voter deletions in the final list. The court expects the EC to rectify errors and ensure electoral roll accuracy for the upcoming Assembly polls.The Supreme Court on Thursday fixed November 4 as the date for hearing legal issues arising from the much controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, ahead of Assembly polls.During the proceedings, the Election Commission informed the court that no appeal had been filed against the deletion of any voter's name in the final electoral roll prepared under the SIR exercise.The bench further observed that the EC, being the responsible constitutional authority, is expected to examine and address typographical errors and other mistakes in the Bihar voter list. The top court added that it anticipates the electoral body will take necessary remedial measures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the electoral rolls ahead of upcoming elections.In an earlier hearing, the court had directed the EC to submit detailed information about the 3.66 lakh voters excluded from the final electoral roll following the SIR exercise. The EC told the bench that most of the newly added names belong to first-time voters, and that no complaints or appeals have been filed so far by any of those whose names were removed.According to figures released by the EC, the final electoral roll published on September 30 showed that the total number of electors in Bihar fell by nearly 47 lakh, from 7.89 crore to 7.42 crore, following the SIR exercise. However, the final figure also reflected an increase of 17.87 lakh voters from the draft list issued on August 1, which had seen deletions of 65 lakh names due to death, migration, or duplication.In total, 21.53 lakh new electors were added, while 3.66 lakh names were removed after the draft roll, resulting in a net increase in the final list.
