Judging by the apostrophe, one "intellectual" turned up. Sounds about right.

The most important ingredient for a quality conversation: Presence. When two people are 100% present, conversation can reach its peak. Pure bliss.

The @ProductHunt folks asked... Freelancers: What's a tool that changed your life? The answer: @freshbooks @SlackHQ @NotionHQ @webflow @QlearlyHQ @nuzzel @unsplash @1Password @andco and 2 more.

A busy calendar and a busy mind would destroy your ability to do great things in this world. If you want to do great things, you need free time and you need a free mind. @Naval

@Antoinette0x53 We used @gatsbyjs and @contentful with @Netlify for our project at @dsmHack this year. I was super impressed with the stack. It works like a CMS, but generates a static site so there's nothing to hack on the live server.

I find myself using this framework from @benthompson a lot recently. “Free” on the internet can mean very different things.

The importance of luck. The readership for my journalistic writings truly picked up when BBC ran a column of mine & had Preity Zinta's column right next to it @realpreityzinta. People flocked to see her column & read mine. I am grateful for this inadvertent boost.

I’m a responsible parent so I use the controls on iOS to limit screen time on the old iPhone my 9-year old uses. A white-listed exception is iMessage; he’s worked out he can send someone a YouTube vid then watch it in iMessage to circumvent the control. So proud 😅

Logic and emotion are rheostats, not "on/off" switches. You need to use the right balance, not merely one or the other.

Don’t underestimate trust as a necessary foundation to Getting Shit Done. I use to think skills were all that was important. But trust is a coefficient on your team’s productivity.

One of the Principal Engineer tenets here is "Respect What Came Before." Principal Engineers are grateful to our predecessors. We appreciate the value of working systems and the lessons they embody. We understand that many problems are not essentially new.

Can't believe there was no subreddit for @naval till now. Anyway, here it is:

Hard to be popular by building things. Easier to be popular by attacking those who build. Often people confuse popularity as reputation. Reputation is long lasting if earned with things that don’t scale easily.

My friend and erstwhile colleague @GovindSankar reminded me of this. In 1994, I was elated at being accepted by the super-prestigious Tata Administrative Service, #TAS right after my #MBA . I was even more thrilled when I was chosen to be a part of the Tata Singapore Airlines JV

@airvistara This is why, don’t celebrate celebrities. Do your business and focus there. There’s always a backlash from both sides. #SocialMedia is a dangerous game.

None of this is true! Let's look at how each of the companies were founded!

“Liberty is a constant battle between government; who would limit it, people; who would concede it, and patriots; who would defend it.” ― Samuel R. Young Jr.

At @srcgraph our rule is "Google Docs are ephemeral, Markdown docs are permanent", and the conversion process has been annoying. Just discovered a tool to make this much easier: Convert a Google Doc to Markdown: 🎉🎉🎉

Herd mentality is dangerous. The ability to form your own opinion based on facts, research and logic is rare and to say it without the fear of criticism is rarer. That's because we don't fear being wrong as much we fear isolation.

Of course, but they can fill an empty mind. Teach a man to hate another and he won't ask you why you've taken his fish.

Just a follow through, An excellent summary of role of women in dravidian movement : @isai_ If possible, this should be taken to every member of the IT cell and to women of TN.

a state HC issues a nationwide ban order. Content related bans can strike any platform from now on. Instead of looking for a tech solution to lock out minors.

The world is inherently paradoxical, as there exist different scales of explanation. The answer to the question “what are we?” can be “mammals”, “meat”, “cells”, “stardust”—all different things, all true. A big mistake we make is taking one scale of truth to be the whole truth.

A message to online creators: Distribution is king. Unfortunately, most creators don’t think enough about distribution. Pick one distribution channel and own it. Blogs, email, podcasts, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. They can all work. Master one. Then... expand.

“I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth.” Swami Vivekananda, September 11, 1893. Chicago.

Lessons from PagerDuty on how to build a $3B+ company: ✅ Focus on a big, annoying pain that many have ✅ Build what others call a “feature” to solve that better than anyone else ✅ Methodically evolve that “feature” into a platform that creates a market

“Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” ~ Kurt Vonnegut, died on this day, in 2007

Two ways to build processes when you are a manager: 1. Do it yourself a few times and document your thinking/process. 2. Ask your team to document their process and then review it with them, asking a lot of questions.

"If Nehru had spent 3000 crores to build a 182 metre tall statue, instead of IIT Kharagpur, I would have been selling pakodas in trains today..." @ArvindKejriwal

The best teachers are doers. @Sanjay__Bakshi always comes to mind. “If you’re going to learn plumbing, go learn from a plumber that’s actually seen a pipe, has fixed a leak, not just written about pipes and lectured on pipes and researched pipes.” -Manoj Bhargava

"...What customers really want in this arena is “better and faster,” and if “better and faster” can come with a side dish of cost savings, terrific. But the cost savings is the gravy, not the steak." Look forward instead of sideways

Edison was told he’s too stupid to learn. Elvis Presley was told he’s best off driving trucks. Oprah, that she’s unfit for TV. They believed in themselves and persevered to achieve their dreams. That’s how they found success. Success comes from how you see yourself.

12 - The secret to a good loyalty program is this: (1) Only take credit for orders CAUSED by the loyalty program. (2) Measure financial impact of ALL transactions harmed by the loyalty program. (3) Calculate profit. Y'all do this, right? Please do this, ok?! Thanks, KH

[1/n] A Startup is three things: 1. Scalable (looks at a big problem for a big market) 2.Repeatable (value created can be repeated without linear costs) 3. Defensible (Warren Buffet calls this moat. it can be economic, intellectual or market)

Wow! China Airport face recognition systems to help you check your flight status and find the way to your gate. Note I did not input anything, it accurately identified my full flight information from my face!

"They call it marketing automation but frankly it’s only automating mass spam email and customer communication." — Former CBA and Foxtel CMO Andy Lark

The two most important qualities in a founder are self-awareness and a growth mindset. Self-awareness = knowing what you need to improve Growth mindset = you can improve anything

Just because a business entity has a well-formed and clearly stated strategy, that doesn’t mean that it is executing that strategy. 1

My definition of success is to be able to be a good human being. To have friends around that have no agenda. To have a family that loves you. To laugh, to run, to enjoy the beauty of nature, to live a life which you can be proud of. And to able to say.....I did it my way.
