Choose your companions before you choose your road - Patrick Lencioni Isn't this so true? Be it marriage, job, ...

This prediction believes humans can never get better. Only AI can. We humans have extraordinary talent and skills to match challenges thrown at us. Read history and you'll notice predictions of doom in every century. We have survived so far and we will surpass this too.

> Self-confidence erodes and expectations fall. And from this place arise narratives which suit foreign powers and fit vested interests. That is what’s wrong with India, and that is what’s getting fixed. Would like to know how this is getting fixed in today's India @suryakane

Mental health is living in your bubble

When you know your reason for existence, it should effect the decisions you make. - Patrick Lencioni How to find your reason for existence? Write your obituary:

> 100 calories from a cola is not the same as 100 calories from a fruit which has fibre, micronutrients, natural sugar and a sense of satiety. Not all data points are same. Beware of using any data points. This is one thing you learn when you learn, "how to lie with statistics"

Took sometime today to build all episodes of @GravitasWins as a @baserow table: Now every episode is categorized and all links are easily browsable. Happy about this.

This is a cool "product as a marketing" hack. Grabbed my link too.

New startups change the habits and behaviors of customers and then charge for the changed habits. Earlier restaurants used to deliver for free. Now we pay for the aggregators. Same case with all digital use cases.

I need a #notetaking tool that’s a combination of @logseq & @obsdmd Obsidian: • love no learning curve to start using it • long form writing • simple interlinking to sections with [[essay#section]] format Logseq: • outlining • taking notes from YT, pdf with sidebar

Is this a case of polymorphism or operator overload?

Been reading “Good strategy/Bad Strategy” by Richard Rumelt. Whole book can be compressed into - “strength applied to the most promising opportunity” Then we can dig deeper into each part. I am going to explore these parts more in the coming days.

Much like physical health, mental health doesn’t only include things to improve but also reducing everything that disturbs. In addition to deleting Twitter from mobile, I have started to write a dairy daily - either in the morning or in the evening.

Finished reading “Good Strategy / Bad Strategy” twice in the last 3 weeks. 1st time read & highlighted. 2nd time: going through highlights Next: summarise After that: connect with other books / ideas I love this book

Content you create (text, podcast, webinar) should address head, heart, and hands of your audience: • head : appeals to their reasons with data & logic; • heart : appeals to emotions with word play, visuals, personal story • hands : give them something to act after listening

Will new Google SEO changes kill chatgpt generated content or will we see more and more of gpt generated content?

A new experiment as part of mental health & productivity. • Deleted Twitter app from mobile • Will post only via buffer • Use Twitter only on laptop once a day (engaging = answering replies, replying to other’s tweets etc) Let me see how it goes.

> Not sure what's happening. As a techie guy, when I talk to most marketers I use this to understand their expertise. Novice knows everything. They can quote all google algos, SEO techniques, and so on. Masters say: I have no bloody clue. Let us figure it out.

Next interview on @GravitasWins Radio - Building generational wealth. We will discuss: • What are the best ways to leave wealth to your kids? • Will leaving wealth to them make them irresponsible? • What are the tax efficient ways? What other questions should we discuss?

Sad case of digitization in India. It is supposed to be efficient and corrupt-free for citizens. Yet both objectives are defeated for citizens.

> Compounding is not the same as compound interest. > Compound interest refers to interest for the amount invested in the first year and interest on the amount + 1st years interest in the second year and so on. That is interest on interest. > Compounding simply refers to any…

Few days back when Google took down Indian apps, Indian entrepreneurs wanted GoI to step in. Then... GoI says AI models need their approval, everyone takes up arms saying this will kill innovation. Make up your mind. You want govt regulation or not.

What is the role of parents in #homeschooling? My younger son writes his perspective on this subject. Parents play an important role in educating kids. In homeschooling we take full control and fine tune the curriculum for each kid’s interest.

You learn a lot from history. About revolutions: > The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionists are philosophers and saints

One rain is all it takes for @Airtel_Presence to fail its fiber connectivity. Ironically I am tweeting this from a Vodafone mobile connection. We can’t get basic stuff right. And we keep talking about so many high funda stuff.

I don't know if @maxpashman has a kid born on Feb 29th. For the other boy, we celebrate 1 day every year. For the boy born on 29th, we have to celebrate big every 4 years. That means "very" expensive. + other years, have to celebrate both on 28th & 1st. Rational # Reality

> Change requires doing hard things. But, who would do it This is applicable across many different aspects of India. Instead of doing hard things we are happy with drama and entertainment.

The age of "one person company" is here "The ability individuals have right now to deliberately design their lives and realities is greater than at any time in history."

Micromanaging vs Commander’s Intent Here is a post by my elder one (Josh), about this concept as he learns from Personal MBA Please read & comment:

“a nation with a low birth rate shall be periodically chastened by some more virile and fertile group.” From: "The Lessons of History" by Will Durant. We are seeing this playing out in India (south vs north) We don’t learn from history and we pay the price.

Let us talk about luck Luck is just the flip-side of risk. If you accept that hypothesis, then we can classify luck and deal with it as we deal with risk. Don't you agree? In this podcast episode, I talk about 4 types of luck:
