We see the world as we are and not as is. Group may start with low level of trust and then we move upwards.

@singhtechnical shared: I always wanted to read books and discuss ideas. But when @GravitasWins community came together to review books, I got interested and started reading books easily.

In reply to @jjude

When people come together and start discussing an idea together rather than as saying your idea and my idea, ideas develop well

In reply to @jjude

Synergize = "1 + 1 = 3" sum > parts When every habits are practiced together, sum is greater than what a single habit would've produced in our lives.

In reply to @jjude

Synergy need high tolerance. There are always insecurities in people. When they come together they need tolerance to jell as a team

In reply to @jjude

What I liked about these weekly reviews is how everyone gets an opportunity to read a chapter and share their point of view. Also, how folks like @josephineejoyce who don't read anything other than tech book, come forward to review a book in public.

In reply to @netshrink

@netshrink - As a doctor you might be able to identify the difference. Not common folks. - When the evidence is twisted it is not much EBM.

In reply to @netshrink

@netshrink I understand what you are saying abt the difference. But EBM is corrupt too as per this study.

In reply to @jjude

@pranesh I don’t hv enuf knowledge to validate these explanations, though.

In reply to @pranesh

@pranesh What I hv learnt from study Bibles: - there are different verbs used in the original translations - fear of the Lord = awe, reverential, healthy fear that you have in the presence of someone bigger than you in every way - other fear = phobia. Paralysing fear

@jsparkblog We had way too many mega-ministers commit blunders and mistakes that tarnish the essence of Christianity. Even church as a whole have to be accountable to its elders.

In reply to @jsparkblog

@jsparkblog If Christianity to keep flourishing, there has to be strong accountability within church. Even Peter came back from Joppa and reported back to church. Most ministers want to be a lotus in the pond; but Jesus asked us to be a salt (invisible)

@personalfitnes3 I say to myself (and to my kids): Trouble with winning the rat-race is, even when you win, you are still a rat.

In reply to @

@MishiChoudhary But did GDPR did bring any meaningful change other than distracting pop-ups?

In reply to @pranesh

@pranesh What a wide-range of discussions I can have with you Pranesh. I love it. Would love you hear your take on this though. And why this sudden interest on this (if I may know)?

In reply to @pranesh

@pranesh Isn't @joinmastodon a step in that direction which already exists? Why another corporate behemoth needed to define standards?

In reply to @ashwinmahesh

@ashwinmahesh And they end up dragging the economy down - case in point Sri Lanka & Zimbabwe. Hope India doesn't go that route with increased nationalism

In reply to @rishabh_grg

@rishabh_grg Congrats RG

In reply to @SathyaHQ

@aurasky_ @fortelabs Absolutely. Of late I have discovered a benefit of these read-it later techniques / apps. They have saved countless hours of wasting time. I save an interesting article to pocket and never read it again 😱 If something is so good, I read it then and there.

@IPL @msdhoni The future of jobs is network of experts. It is spreading in sports, governments, startups, and Hollywood Are you building your brand? (I detail this trend here: )

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni An IPL player doesn't have a job; He has a career, which he builds with a portfolio of wins, fans, and endorsements.

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni 5. You are a brand The most important lesson I learned is "You are a brand" An IPL player is not an employee. He is hired based on the perceived value. As he accrues wins, he increases his value and hence attracts more money.

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni I've repeatedly seen that the most inspired team is the one where the leader/manager stands one among the team, inspiring them with actions. When a leader fails to command respect and inspire the team, the spirit of the team decomposes, and they don't make much of headway.

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni 4. Leadership is not a privilege; it is a responsibility Captains of all teams led by standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other teammates. They didn't order their fellow teammates to play better while enjoying a Caribbean cruise.

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni An IIM MBA or an IIT architect alone can not do miracles; one needs to invest in the entire team. A recent IT management trend seems to fire seniors; we will 'use' freshers and deliver projects. Sadly that doesn't work.

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni 3. Team composition - a must for a win While it is essential to have 'super' skilled batsmen or bowlers in an intense game like T20, it is a must to have a disciplined team skilled in all matters of the game led by an inspiring skipper. There is no other substitute for victory

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni In IT companies it is usual to see some get paid ridiculously high amounts, and they don't appear anywhere near 'valuable players' in dependability

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni 2. Money isn't everything; there is also honor IPL Franchises pay obscenely high amounts to iconic players and some non-iconic players too. In the 1st IPL, except Dhoni most others failed on the field

In reply to @jjude

@IPL @msdhoni In the IT industry, you get such option with OSS. There are many exceptionally designed Open Source applications and frameworks. You can either contribute (development, testing, documentation) to such libraries/frameworks or create applications using them.

In reply to @jjude

@IPL 1. A chance to learn from superstars IPL provides an opportunity for the young players to rub shoulders with the legends of the game. Those who grew up admiring @msdhoni as a role model were bowling against him!

In reply to @jjude

It was a great session. Thank you @Aswiniselvaraj for leading the book review. Thanks all for joining.

In reply to @jjude

As @singhtechnical said at the end, when you listen with empathy it gives you lot of authority when it is your turn to speak.

In reply to @jjude

- ethos: personal credibility - pathos: relationship - logos: reasoning the chain should be ethos -> pathos -> logos. Don't change the order

4 autobiographical responses - evaluate - probe - advising - interpret We should really avoid the autobiographical responses.

In reply to @jjude

Key to great judgement is listening and understanding. Don't jump to judge.

In reply to @jjude

Empathy is mostly talked about skill today. It is so surprising that it is a fundamental skill and @StephenRCovey talked about it decades ago. Empathy is need for sales, product design, engineers...

In reply to @jjude

With empathetic listening you suspend judgement. You can empathize with a person without agreeing with them or contradicting them or demonizing the other party.

In reply to @jjude

only when you have given the empathetic listening, you can go on to influence them with problem solving it is difficult, because you might become vulnerable. to influence, you should be ready to be influenced

In reply to @jjude

As @TweetAmitM shared: when you multi-task, you always take more time to complete a task

In reply to @jjude

You can multi-task when you don't need same type of energy. • you can walk and listen to a podcast but • you can't take a walk and driving a car

In reply to @jjude

Levels of listening: - ignoring the speaker - selective listening - attentive listening - empathetic listening (not technique - mimicking etc)

In reply to @jjude

Aren't we listening all the time to our parents & society? We don't listen to understand. We listen to reply back We might be nodding or being quiet but those are only facade if we are not listening to understand.

In reply to @jjude

4 basics of communication • reading • writing • speaking • listening Listening is the key to influence others. To influence you need to listen and understand. Best way to influence is by our character and conduct, not tactics.

In reply to @jjude

When kids get low marks, we immediately jump to prescription: > you spent time on device; you played too much without diagnosing the problem Key to inter-personal communication is "understanding the other party"

@TheCoolestCool Every morning I recite this verse and ask myself what patterns am I limiting myself to and what I can do to get out of them: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. - Romans 12:2

In reply to @Schandillia

@Schandillia @netshrink Church's role in the rise of Nazi movement is well documented. But Doehring may not have been one to support Nazi's rise. Like it happens in all tyrannical case, some of religious words / sermons / literature could've been appropriated by Nazi party.

In reply to @RonnieScrewvala

@RonnieScrewvala This is missing "Slack" option ;-)

In reply to @Schandillia

@Schandillia @netshrink Any references Amit? reads differently. In the emerging Nazi movement Doehring saw a reprehensible attempt to create a new religion. He repudiated "the idolatry of racism, anti-Semitism, and the manipulation of the masses.
