When there is no fear, there is no market for those who allay the fears. So they create fears, so as to be relevant.
Q: How do introverts socialize and make new friends?
Here's a slide I'm starting to show right after I talk about the benefits of personalization. Sometimes it's just best to show everybody the same damn ad.
Never trust ideas that have not emerged from an effort to build something tangible.
@thepekingorder I've always argued that hyper targeting and personalistion is anti-human

This MAN is a hero for democracy! Salute, sir!
If a plebiscite was held, few people would want to give up their own right to voice on social media. They may want to silence someone else, but they would not want to give up their own right. Nor should it be taken away without good reason and due process.
This is my first meaningful attempt to pitch India as a investment destination at such an august gathering of dignitaries and a discerning global audience @IndEmbMoscow. Hope you enjoy reading the presentation as much as I enjoyed presenting it !
The world did not have 64 megapixel cameras a thousand years ago. Why do people waste do much time fighting on the past? Is it because they seek pride instead of joy?
Trump’s letter to Erdogan. *Not* parody. If this doesn’t break the internet...
Anticipate, but don’t expect. Anticipation: You’re excited for what the future holds, but you don’t try to control it. Expectation: You try to predict the future and restrict your happiness to one outcome. Always be excited about the possibilities. Never be entitled to them.
"The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think."

The greatest value to developing economies, of exponential technologies, is democratization. Democratization means cost, access, knowhow and an ecosystem that harnesses local capability and supports native culture. It means technology thinking in the context of its population.
The thing more people need to say is, our investments in health, education, access to capital, productivity, well-being shd be higher, and the rest should be pared down. Giving people the capacity to develop themselves is better than false promises of govts to deliver it to them.
One or two decisions a year is good enough. What matters is implementation.
I learned this the hard way. Get this book. "Your culture is who you are. Who you are is not the values you list on the wall. It’s not what you say at an all-hands. It’s not your marketing campaign. It’s not even what you believe. It’s what you do."
“The essential difference between emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action while reason leads to conclusions." - Neurologist Donald Calne in his book 'Within Reason: Rationality and Human Behavior'
Every business is a lifestyle business. Some just have no life outside of business because they work 80 hours a week. That’s a lifestyle too.
@kunalb11 Explains every thing! Breaks every myth!
Self-Discipline is the hardest skill to develop. Why? Because it's the skills of skills. Imagine performing every day. Imagine taking action every day. Imagine doing what you have to even if you don't feel like it. Developing self-discipline hurts. But it's worth it.

#Entrepreneurship of the future. 1. Find a purpose (not a reason) 2. Build a business model (not a business plan) 3. Prototype (not requirements) 4. Launch to test (not to scale) 5. Learn and refine (not advertise and market) Fail? Try something else. The future is uncertain.

Your org’s biggest problem is probably not a competency problem, it is pushing work over people’s capacities. Which erodes their ability to use their competencies.
What does “the future of work” mean to you?
@briannekimmel - "Automated self" via passive income streams; - softer work that requires more bespoke human judgement and real-time presence; - being in many places at once; - having platform-specific niche identities; - geographically unbounded

So you think you are old to become an entrepreneur. Captain Mehra (55), Herb Keller (40), CP Krishna Nair (65), Col. Sanders (65), Dave Duffield (72) didn’t think so when they started their businesses.
Control the big variables when you can: location, market, team.
8/9 In the military, this is called "commanders intent". Commanders intent is critical when navigating unknown waters, which virtually every company that deals with technology is in today.
This is quite an interesting case study in the propagation of fake news and the importance of print (yes.. it has its place, still). 1. IANS picks up a parody Twitter handle of Raghuram Rajan and flashes its content without fact-checking it. 1/n
Thank you @dharmesh. This is *exactly* what I tell founders about focus and going to market. Yes - you’ve got a TAM and maybe that TAM is huge.. but you’re really going after the IAM at any given time. Otherwise, you’re trying to boil an ocean. #BoS2019
