12 LIFE LESSONS FROM A MAN WHO HAS SEEN 12000 DEATHS | Project FUEL - Blog buff.ly/2IPUZtY
Thank you @paulminors for the book summaries. And that too not behind a paywall. Great work.
@paulminors This is a good one. I too journal but have not yet articulated how I do. May be I will, after reading this post
Have you paused to think what makes a great job for you? If you have not defined it, how will you get it?

Commensurate Compensation : Some would consider the pay pie to be bigger than others in the circle of ‘ideal job’. Money is essential but not the only necessity in life. Pay package should commensurate with the outcome.
Flexible Hours : 9 to 5 work hours is a terrible inheritance from industrial revolution. Ideas don’t come within a fixed block of time and flexible hours doesn’t mean lethargy. It just means I am free to work when I work the best.
Appreciative Clients: Often a single appreciation from the client can make you forget all the travail of the assignment, especially if the recognition is public. Not many clients do it but when done right, you are energized and ready to ensure success of the assignment.
Co-operative Team : Despite the hype built around leadership, successful leaders aren’t loners. Behind every triumphant leader, there is a hard-working team. Through the highs and lows of the assignment, it is the team that makes the journey joyful.
Supportive Boss : Corporate structure is hierarchical and our immediate supervisor is an important link in that structure. Your manager will determine the career graph you'll have in the company. So it is important to get to know who you'll work with.
Stimulating Work : I enjoy those assignments where I apply my knowledge but I enjoy more when there is an opportunity to learn new things.
Whenever we search for a job, we compare salary as the only factor to decide. But money is only a small part of job we enjoy.
What are the other factors you can consider?

@ahmed_sulajman @igrigorik Documenting your decisions is something I learnt while working for Govt of India. It helps the successors to decide if they need to revisit the decision: jjude.com/documenting-yo…

@PlausibleHQ is it possible to export top pages? I see there is an option to export total visits, but not the top pages.
I searched in public roadmap. There is a import planned. What about export?

When you see the other garden green, it is time for you to water your garden. Only by that, you create a space for you to thrive, excel, and celebrate.
Don't throw stones at locals and crowns at the others.
What do we do when a women makes it in India? We berate her, throw stones at her, call her nasty things.
When a local businessman makes it, we gossip that he should've bribed to make to the top.
When Sunder Pitchai becomes the CEO of Google, we jump up and down as if one in our family won a lottery.
We forget that even with 200 years of history, the Americans have elected a women only to a 2nd top position. Within 75 years, we had a women prime-minister, defence minister, finance minister, and countless women chief ministers.
Indians are for sure a bunch of interesting folks.
When Kamala Harris is elected as a VP, we Indians go crazy in celebrating her victory. We are elated that an Indian origin woman is elected to a top position in the US.
@JakeCahan Thanks for sharing this. Where is this from?
We'll do it differently and better. @SubstackInc redefined blogs and now trying to redefine Feed readers. Get the popcorn and see who plays better. x.com/dr/status/1328…
@gregisenberg Isn't Ello, Mastodon attempts in these directions?
@gregisenberg I agree with you on this:
> Everything stretched to the extremes; either extremely censored (i.e: Twitter) or non-censored (i.e: Parler). Extremely free (i.e: subsidized by ads, like FB) or extremely paid (i.e: OnlyFans). Extremely asynchronous or extremely synchronous.

Mac is usually marketed as "it just works." After Jobs, Apple seems to have embrace, "it just sucks" mantra. aka, why I don't upgrade to new OS when they are released. x.com/llanga/status/…
I'm going to create a video or a post everyday at least for 30 days before I assess or give up.
What idea are you embracing? What are you doing with it?
2nd: @sachdevasampark shared his secret to @LinkedIn success.
Embrace LI as its own platform. Write in it everyday. He wrote an article everyday. He challenged to do the same. I'm starting with this video: linkedin.com/posts/jjude_ev…

1st a parable called Mathew effect: Those who gain with what they have, gain more. Those who bury what they have will lose what they have.
@ScottAdamsSays calls it skill stacking.
I was a developer. Stacked writing, speaking. Adding video now.
Ideas don't matter. Twitter 🧵
Everyday we get exposed to many ideas on the Internet & possible from books.
You know what? Ideas don't matter.
What matters is what you do with them. As @sivers says here (sive.rs/multiply) ideas are just multipliers of execution

I dive more into this topic here: jjude.com/book-types
You gain from all three types of books.
Even leaf books give you short-term gains.
You need to be cautious because you could chase one shiny object after another, never building a strong foundation to build lasting success
Leaf books :
- Excel 2019 All-In-One For Dummies
- Membership Economy
Branch books :
- McGraw-Hill’s Finance for Non-Financial Managers
- The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker
Examples of these books: Trunk books
- What the CEO wants you to know by Ram Charan
- On Writing Well by William Zinsser
We can take Elon's classification to books:
- trunk books : explains fundamentals of a domain
- branch books : explains an area of a domain
- leaf books : teaches a skill
Most of the time, we focus on "leaves" because they are trendy and sexy. Nothing wrong with it, if that "leaf" opens way to deeper knowledge. What you learn as "trunk" and "branch" will stay with you long. They lay strong foundation.
"make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to"
I look for ways to retain what I learn. @elonmusk is obviously an inspiration. In a AMA he said this:
"it is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree"
