@MorissaSchwartz @SejalSud True. How have you put it to use?
@SejalSud For game theory, read "Beautiful mind" and watch the movie (read the book first). Amazing history about John Nash.
@SejalSud Nevertheless, India has so many historic places and natural wonders. I didn't know them then. I visited, Mahabalipuram, Hampi etc. They are all rich with history and beauty.
@SejalSud true. I could only go to south Egypt. Even that was amazing. Having dinner on a local boat on Nile was the top most experience ;-)
@SejalSud I took few trips across continental Europe (and one to Egypt). Those trips opened my eyes, heart, and brain. Wrote about the trips here (not the lessons though):
@reuvenmlerner I agree with you. But how? Esp on an ongoing basis? This year started coaching @GravitasWins. For the first few cohorts was able to keep the beginners mind. Was very difficult at later cohorts
@Gregorythe2 @10kdiver Interestingly @jordanbpeterson also says this when asked if he believes in God - I live as if God exists
@ZoharAtkins @kylascan @matthewclifford @jposhaughnessy @AriLamm @KTmBoyle Is this a recent episode?
@Yannick_Veys @FeedHive_io @hypefury Have you written anywhere abt push & pull marketing? Seems interesting
@neilcdavey @ColinShaw_CX @joepine @lou_carbone Looks like @Gartner_inc is defining total experience as the theme for 2022: (surprisingly, their post doesn't show up in google search though; what an experience :-) )
@marshallk This sounds about right. For me @Twitter is a place to connect to diverse minds and learn.
@trebligwehttam @obsdmd I use @obsdmd and @WorkFlowy. Obs- for writing, clipping web articles / stories. Feature I love: random note. Nice way to remind and remember WF: for outlining, quick notes esp when listening to podcast
As an employee, work in a company that solves the biggest and urgent problem As a founder, solve the biggest and the urgent problem for your target audience and so on...
@mrkaran_ @nileshtrivedi It is the same with award winners. Ramalingam Raju to every other charlatan won top awards, including some of national awards. Don't go by these lists and awards. Do your work.
@vaibhav_arora__ Whether we like it or not, whether we admit or not, we assume all the time. Only difference the smarts bring: they change their assumption data indicate.
@John71Kee Thank you for sharing all of these
@rishabh_grg That is why I don't care about startup's tech; They have to show their domain expertise, distribution, and importantly execution speed. If they don't execute fast and have great distribution everything else is no advantage
@John71Kee Sorry to hear about your brother John. The more I hear such stories, I'm realizing what @morganhousel says - luck is other side of risk.
@John71Kee For the young ones here, those who are in a choosing mode, how would you advice selecting between a "Cisco" offer and a "Paypal" offer? 3/10 a "paypal" ends up a failure. Isn't it?
@jspector @WorkFlowy I am also a happy WF user. What are the reasons you are still attached to WF Josh?
There is also a lesson for upcoming indie makers. If you don’t listen to the changing need of the market and experiment, you will be taken over by hungry and fast moving new players.
It is the same case with @evernote. It captures mindshare of Google docs. But it failed to experiment & pivot. Now that space is taken over by @notion, @workflowy and so many other notes apps.
There is a lesson for indie makers. Even in a well established space there is always space left by the current players. You can build a product in that space.
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.
@aurasky_ you also need to see what you love to do; another thing I have seen ppl do: they mix and match once in a while to judge what format resonates. they collect data and then proceed from there. say hand-drawn might be attractive in twitter; canva design might be a hit in linkedin
@Kukicat7 The only question is: will it improve in the future? I suppose the arrow of technology will only move forward.
@aurasky_ handdrawn has a romantic appeal ;-) but it is a crowded space. On the otherhand something using canva - that is not usual now. So may be you can do that.
@hellobasak Good luck. Looking forward to your visuals
@hellobasak Would you be able to combine them - self-healing concepts explained via visuals. And then once a week (stick to a particular day like Friday) and show the backstage work.
If you like these tweets, don't forget to follow me. Don't hestitate to ask any questions too.
Once you find what you like and what you comes naturally to you, it is time to take a side. I found out that I love technology and teaching. So I got into tech consulting, coaching (Gravitas WINS - ), and public speaking.
By doing this, you would learn quite a lot about most of the business functions. You will also know what you like the most and what comes easily to you.
So the answer is: Learn as much as possible in the early part of your career. If you get a chance to work in marketing department, do it. If your company asks you to develop a server application, develop it. If you come across an opportunity to sell, sell.
Sivers in an interview with Tim Ferriss says this: When you’re earlier in your career I think the best strategy is you just say yes to everything, every piddly little gig, you just never know what are the lottery tickets. Read the entire interview:
Jack Ma says: in the early part of your career, learn as many things as you possibly can. Then as you age, focus on your strengths and build on them. Watch the video here:
Look at prisons as correction facility than as punishment. You are a beneficiary when you serve others. A paradigm shift in handling prisoners.
