@made_in_cosmos @paulg Outcome over ego.

What has your work taught you that other people don't realize?

People who judge works made in the past according to present-day moral standards are like Americans who travel abroad and expect everyone they meet to understand English.

I love @ShaneAParrish and @farnamstreet’s 5 principles. This video reminded me of the first principle: direction over speed. Highly encourage you to read the blog. 1 and 4 (principles outlive tactics) really resonate:

2019 review: - Got engaged - Published 2 books () - Wrote 6 papers () - Tweeted 50+ ideas () - Produced 1 online course () - Taught, consulted, hold live workshops - Filed 1 patent

Being an expert isn’t about knowing the answers. It is about knowing a process to find the answers.

My rule for learning: Start with usefulness, not with theory. • If you want to learn biology, start with identifying edible plants — not homeostasis. • If you want to learn to draw, start with copying famous paintings — not color theory. Practice first. Theory second.

My picks:

Question for 2020 In what way does my own faith and life embody & give a credible alternative to the things I criticize & condemn in others? The gap between what I criticize in others & fail to embody myself is the root of hypocrisy. Criticism is cheap, discipleship is costly.

Off the top of my head, my favorite accounts in my timeline right now are: @eriktorenberg @datarade @david_perell @justinkan @TaylorPearsonMe @wolfejosh @harrydry @Kpaxs @garrytan Combination of the relentlessly resourceful & curious Anyone else you suggest?

Picture this: Cloud College Classrooms = media studios Study rooms = Zoom rooms Homework = blog posts Lectures = YouTube videos Labs = maker spaces Sports teams = creative guilds Scholarships = crowdfunding campaigns Career counselors = business advisors It would be lit

Ultimately, my secular mindset gave way to a life-transforming faith. I still have doubts, but even if Jesus is the most successful hoax in the history of the world, my life is much better for it. And, all civilization will eventually burn up in wholly unrecognizable heat death.

If your actions this year didn't bring the results you sought, it might be because you weren’t aware of some implicit rules you kept breaking. My book describes 100 implicit rules which might have been holding you back so far. Below, a reader's review.

Blaming others for one's failure is a form of failure. Crediting others for your success is a form of success

Adding: - Learn faster than others - Ability & willingness to fail publicly - Ability & willingness to look like an idiot

The Durants, widely regarded as the 20th century's best historians, studied Jesus and concluded:

Working with a friend can cost both a business and a friendship. It can work if the friendship came after working together. It won’t work if the friendship came before and competence is merely assumed.

You won’t have inner peace until you give up your war against the world.

The solution isn’t a pill, it’s a process.

This entire thread is golden. Answers a question I asked in public a while back as to why startups in India hire massive numbers compared to some of the successful startups we know of. Now I know the answer - technical debt.

1. Online entrepreneurship has the potential to do more good for the nuclear family than nearly any other workplace change we’ve seen in the last 100 years.

"Data-mining" vs. "Data is mine" Important thread below by @chrissyfarr 👇 #healthdata #digitalhealth

I'd urge anyone who has engaged with literature in any language, in any capacity, to read Olga Tokarczuk's Nobel lecture slowly and carefully. She is full of light, a writer to do us all proud (h/t @jennybhatt)

Some of @nntaleb's best quotes: 1) "Abundance is harder for us to handle than scarcity.” 2) “The more data you get, the less you know what’s going on.” 3) "In a complex world, intelligence consists in ignoring things that are irrelevant."

Take it from me law with death penalty alone won't help much. Rape can be controlled only if we can ensure professional investigation & prosecution that result into conviction in every case. It is not severity but certainity of punishment that deters crime. #Priyanka #Hyderabad

Trust is not a function of the quantity of the time we spend with someone. It is a function of the quality of the experience they have with us.

They want to punish you for your speech because they can’t punish you for your thoughts.

In my speech I mentioned that if #MarkZuckerberg and tech CEOs allow a foreign power to interfere in our election (again) or facilitate another genocide (like Myanmar), perhaps they should be sent to jail. My full speech here:

I've installed NSDL app on my phone. Once in a month, check and verify details for both me and my wife. Also go through CAS in detail. CAS statements are regularly stored in an email folder. Thought you may find the above useful.

Three metrics at @washingtonpost : how fast are you moving? No sacred cows. Disagree but commit.

A momentary challenge to your viewer's expectations, followed by a flash of realisation, excites that part of the brain where engagement happens. #ThursdayThoughts for visual #marketers

A Tweet Thread 1. When the history of our times comes to be written the following links and excerpts might be useful source material for the historian @AatishTaseer wrote this way back in May 2019.

@chehayebk Arab Socialists are dangerously blind. Yugoslavia tried to do a TOP DOWN Kumbaya, forcing the mixing of people of different religions (same language, tiny difference in accents) & blew up. Switzerland went BOTTOM UP & is the most successful country in history.

Why are these companies not celebrated enough?

Indian origin Women CxOs in top US cos: Amrita Ahuja CFO @Square, Padmasree Warrior ex CTO @motorola & @Cisco, Neha Narkhade CTO @confluentinc, Anjali Sud CEO @Vimeo, Jayshree Ullal CEO @AristaNetworks, Dhivya Suryadevara CFO at @GM, Sukhwinder Cassidy President @StubHub. More?

My crazy beliefs about writing: 1. Writing fast is just as important as writing well. 2. Good writing isn’t about good syntax or grammar. Having interesting ideas is much more important. 3. If you can’t write, don’t read a writing book. Build a note-taking system first.

WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE 1) Writing moves the world. The Bible, the Constitution, the Gettysburg Address. Study history. The written word is uniquely powerful. 2) Writing sharpens your thinking. The mind usually jumps from thought to thought, but writing forces you to slow down.

Since this chart is a WIP and I am editing it and improving on it as I go along, You can see the "current" version here :

Labeling symptoms as problems will make you work on the wrong thing. Band-aiding the symptom without addressing your problem will create worse symptoms.

@wolfejosh Since I know you’re a man of science, here are some stats I find interesting: 1) Of the Top-10 ranked hospitals in the US, 9/10 were founded by Christians. 2) Of the Top-10 worldwide ranked universities, all 10 were founded by Christians.

Techies think that debt is something that must be repaid. Business types understand that debt should never be repaid, and really, cannot be repaid. Techies think they are justifying why something needs to be fixed, when in fact they are explaining why it never needs to be fixed.

Don Valentine, the greatest of all time. I spent the morning watching his GSB talk. Rest in peace: 1. If you don't attack a big market, it's highly unlikely you're ever going to build a big company. (thread)
