I use Twitter as a commonplace note: https://t.co/vPr6DeA0d4 CTO In Sales • Homeschooling dad Building @siteaudittools & @thoughttonote
@PeeKayPedia We are not robots • We think • We feel • We express The thoughts, feelings, and expressions we have can be controlled, but they can't be programmed or automated. Being sad is not only normal, it is human.
In one interview, the person asked ton of questions on his career growth, vision roadmap etc. Interesting conversation happened. He is still working with us after 5 years.
@girba As a CTO, wondering if a thought in code can be represented as note / diagram (esp auto generated)? Will be huge help in knowledge transfers, when devs move over to other teams etc We learn differently. How the same thought can be taught differently?
You may not become a media millionaire. But you can definetly shape a lifestyle that you'll truly enjoy. Go and ride.
You need to build 3 things to thrive in this economy: • media • network • social-proof I talked about it here:
They are willing to experiment They are willing to experience If you've a way to help them, they are willing to be coached; they are willing to part with their money.
The 60's generations were forced to take care of bottom of the Maslow's pyramid - food, safety, roof over family. 70's generation built on top of them, but still have to worry abt steady income. Today there are opportunities. But people are also open to go beyond food & roof
If you seriously play in the creator economy, there are only two possibilities: • you win • you learn If you win you are not going to complain (I hope so 😜) Even if you don't win at the exact play, you'll collect many stepping stones that can positively shape your life.
@girba that a thought can be represented in text, code, diagram...
Knowing the type of decision will help you to choose the strategy to make great decisions. Now make a great decision and follow me :-) It is after all it is a reversible decision.
While driving on a highway, you might take the inner-city road rather than the coastal road that you wanted to take. Still you could control the wastage of hours and reverse the decision.
Unless you are Ross (of the Friend's TV series) you want your marriage to last until your death. Reversing a marriage is not possible, though you could get out of it. Still, it will affect your life.
What about significant decisions? There are two types of significant decisions. - controllable, hence reversible - conseqential, thus non-reversible Let us talk about the consequential decisions first
Though routine decisions should be easy to make, they can become difficult. How often have you stood frozen in-front of the dressing closet unable to decide the dress to wear? An important event like a date or an interview can make even the routine decision hard to make.
There are two types of decisions we make: - routine decisions - significant decisions Deciding what dress to wear on any day is a routine decision. Should you take up a job in a different city and move to a whole new environment is a significant decision.
@coachgoldsmith Do you have any questions? Or comments? Tweet them. Iron sharpens iron. As you ask more questions, my mental image will get sharper and sharper. Go ahead and ask that question.
@coachgoldsmith Can we, then, develop gravitas? Is it nature or nurture? Valid question. We will explore it next. Click "Follow" to keep getting these tweets.
@coachgoldsmith Competent AND confident leaders They are an exception, not the norm. If a nation or a company gets such a leader, they will prosper, not only in the leader's life time but also long after that, since the leader will frame a structure for prosperity. They have gravitas
@coachgoldsmith Most nations, companies, societies are poorly managed which is evident from their longevity.
Confident, not competent leaders As @coachgoldsmith said, the skills to get the job is not sufficient to do the job. But many don't understand that idea. They keep pushing through with yesterday's competence because yesterday's confidence got them here.
I scored high marks in school and college; I was deputed for an onsite assignment (only one from my team) because of my ability to get things done. But I struggled with "confidence". I didn't view myself as having potential even though reality said something different
Competent, not confident leaders They are promoted for their technical acumen. They know what they need to do and achieve great results. But they let their insecurities cripple them to move ahead. They can't carry the team because they are not confident I was one like that
@colinyjchung @elonmusk oh I am sorry Collin. I wasn't commenting on density. There are more than lens to look at books. Density for sure is one. Density also depends on the reader. I highlighted at least a line in every page of "7 habits". Some of my friends thought it was meh
@colinyjchung @elonmusk said in his AMA to view knowledge as semantic tree. In that sense, we can categorize books as: • Trunk • Branch • Leaf Wrote about it here:
@colinyjchung Real life is messy, same is spirituality @timkellernyc has been covering this concept in his recent episodes. When we think of turning spiritual, we equate to calm, soothing, and all. But real spirituality is messy, conflicting, digging deep, time consuming.
@colinyjchung I should list few books in this category. May be a blog post: • Bible - without a doubt changed me inside out. But it was not instant; • 7 Habits - yes, self-help book but did change me. • Thou shall prosper by - @DanielLapin (I launched @GravitasWins after reading it)
@jspector > As a consumer, I prefer quality; as a maker, I prefer quantity. When I learned shorthand, I was told to scribble on a paper continuously to build muscle memory. 750words, atomic essays, ship30 are all form of building such memory for writers
@aaditsh Agree except the last. I have tried. Most often it leads to mimetic rivalry.
@rishabh_grg That's probably why we get offended so quickly
@jacobsonandrew6 We need to encourage our kids to take more risks. That is one form of "teaching them to fish"
@jezzaica @stevemagness Agree with the effect of relationships. Why did it go downhill? You too started playing games?
@DPSingh2809 That that man, that that problem ;-)
@mkobach Every advice is contextual. That is why it is difficult to give an advice on twitter. The trick in investing is just to sit there and watch pitch after pitch go by and wait for the one right in your sweet spot. And if people are yelling, ‘Swing, you bum!,’ ignore them. - Buffet
@mcrittenden If you can’t find one, start one. Agreed Mike. That is exactly what I did. It is a great experience.
@howdynigel @aaditsh Didn't know it was possible. Going to try it. Thanks
@jacobsonandrew6 Good luck Andrew.
You can read my earlier annual reviews here: I didn't have a structured process earlier. But slowly I developed one.
If you want an example, read through my 2021 annual review here: I operate on 4 areas: • Wealth • Insights • Network • Self I carry our experiments in each of these areas. As I carry, "plan, do, review" I build strength in each of those areas.
How to review? By asking questions. Lot of questions. At minimum, you should ask these questions: • what was the peak win? • what are the wins and what led to those wins? • what are the lessons learned? Then write them down in a note.
Have you reviewed the year gone by? Have you published it? If you have not reviewed the year gone by, I encourage you to do so. If this is the first time, you are reviewing, it will be mentally discomforting. But there is no gain without pain.
@gwynwans Thanks Gwyn for sharing this. I am learning all of these skills practically from the excellent backstage meetings that @adamstjohn & team have twice a month.
@EleanorKonik @annelibby @ExtraCreditz @TheCrashCourse @askhistorians @kassiastclair @theAliceRoberts Wow. Thank you Eleanor for the generosity. Noted all of them. Subscribed to your blog too.
@philipbrown Congrats & Good luck on your product release
@rajanluthra6 1. Hard things about hard things 2. 0 to 1 3. How I almost blew it (abt Indian startups - )
@rcvd_io Thank you Alex for performance testing existing PKM tools. Very useful. Even though I keep trying out other PKM tools, reasons I come back to @obsdmd • plain text as storage • opening a random note functionality (helps to refresh the mind) Good to know is is the fastest
@sabinecoulon @renatushoogenra Lovely. Good luck. Let us talk about your experience in the next meetup
@dominicstpierre Any reason why the subscribe page doesn't list overcast / Apple podcast?
@dominicstpierre Good luck Dominic (fellow mega maker & go Dev). Will check this out.
