As Anil says, "My philosophy has been that unless I as an individual am willing and open to serve in society, no public policy or education can help us."
One such officer I know is Anil Kumar Bhardwaj. I have witnessed his relentless pursuit of excellence in everything he does - in office and in social work. When covid hit, he stitched together a life-saving service with simple technology services. Read:
@Ayush_singh26 @SejalSud As long as she doesn’t transfer her chaos as my emergency 😜
@SejalSud When there is gold rush don’t bet on gold miners but on those who build shovels.
Is it possible to build a flywheel that integrates your personal and professional life? Yes, of course. That is the topic of today's Gravitas WINS show. I'll showcase personal flywheels I have built over the last decade. Register via
Coincidentally, I published a new post: Ideas Don't Matter, If You Don't Act It goes well with the theme of the episode
Loved this episode: As a coach (of Gravitas WINS), I enjoyed this talk much. Thank you Craig & Nick.
We allow cognitive pollution. Don't. And don't cause cognitive pollution either.
We humans overvalue voluntary action and undervalue involuntary actions. Our hearts and lungs are involuntary. Coaching should train us to the point of involuntary action.
Use data to ask better questions; not make decisions Don't reduce your customers to 1s & 0s. Treat them as humans with feelings. Technology is a taxation on attention and being present. Don't pay that tax too much.
How we learn as a child? • Observe • Absorb • Do That is the best way to learn even as an adult
Language is not a proxy for action You can’t articulate everything happening in action Use action to learn what to learn next. Ex: Force yourself to release a podcast, write a blog, sketch a visual daily. Everyday learn something to improve this action.
In this episode of Gravitas WINS, I extend Elon's metaphor to books and give examples. Let me know your feedback and comments on the content and delivery. Thank you for listening. Have a life of WINS.
@SejalSud @_interestingguy @fpjindia Thanks Sejal. You never give "mixed signals". Do you ;-)
Two big take-aways: • when you are punched in the face, think what is next in the process. don't focus on the emotions that raises when punched • only way you can do that is by training prior to the situation, like sports-folks and military.
@nataliereyesv Writing my obituary is one of the powerful self-help act I took. It brought clarity of purpose to my life. I have written about it here:
@Abhishek_Rai Good to hear you recovered @Abhishek_Rai Good luck with your venture. Have fun on the way and hope it becomes a sustainable biz.
Any marketers in my network throw some light on sudden increase in the open rate?
@theTonyNash Didn't joker sum it up well? Their morals, their code; it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I believe: We are all hypocrites. Only degree varies. What do you think?
@mijustin @joshuaanderton @meepsapp @ProductHunt Good luck @mijustin & @joshuaanderton One issue I have seen with most other platforms is tax issues with member payment. If you take care of that, it would be fantastic.
@thesksamim Both b2b & b2c need both sales & marketing.
@KalyaniMalviya3 Good luck @KalyaniMalviya3. Twitter is an awesome place to have conversation with some of the finest minds.
@Varsharma7 @SejalSud 12 angry men is a fantastic movie and it is one of my favorites, though I never considered it as for startups. What do you take away from that movie which is suited for startups?
@mahaprasad_ @SejalSud everyone has different styles so different note-taking apps suits them. I store everything in single folder but use tags & linking. I have more than 2000 notes in it and still I can get to the note I need in few clicks/searches
@archi_creates @SejalSud - it can link to other notes (=> I create atomic notes) - I can revisit notes at random so things stay fresh in mind These are just tip. If you are into learning, building digital memory for long term, you should check it out.
@archi_creates @SejalSud It is a free note taking app. You can download from: The reasons I like it better than other apps: - it stores locally (where I live internet gets disrupted often; so this is huge) - it stores in text format (so I can use any app to read it) 1/2
@SejalSud Better question is: Did I crash Instagram 😜
@GambolGambol True Jon. Even in 9-5 we can find our calling. The way I look at it, the best calling is that satisfies you and that empowers society. If you can find it in regular job, why not?
In today's clubhouse discussion, @orangeturban will share what Atomic Habits book by @JamesClear means to him. What ideas impacted him, how he implemented them, struggles he had. Going to be an interesting conversation.
@pradeepb28 @vijayanands I often refer this page: which has over 180 different types of goals.
@florinpop1705 My friend @rishabh_grg is building @tweetflick_app
@jspector Started a free webinar on Thursdays in Feb. Was nervous at first It has taken a life of its own. It streams on @youtube, @linkedin, & @facebook. Everyweek min 25 people join. Learned transferrable skills. I encourage everyone to try this idea-do onething every week in public.
@timmyshash @amitsomani Can you please elaborate on this? Have you written on this somewhere?
@orangeturban Thank you @orangeturban for coming along in the journey. Dream of the destination may make the journey bearable but the company makes the journey enjoyable.
@rishabh_grg @tweetflick_app Lovely @rishabh_grg. Congrats.
@zero8_dev Make one. Consistently Creating has a second order effect.
@jvijayan1961 @ptrmadurai good suggestion. hope TN govt considers this suggestion.
@arjunghosh If you have a screener account you should be able to execute the query i shared. Thats almost the only query I execute. I start there for my analysis.
@arjunghosh I don't know how to publish a screen. Will find out. The screen you shared only bothers abt DY. I check DE + marketcap + ROCE. There are many aspects one cam consider. For my purpose ROCE better than ROE because CE = capital employed which incudes all forms of capital.
@arjunghosh This is the query I used to pick this up: Market Capitalization > 500 AND Price to earning < 20 AND Average return on capital employed 5Years > 15% AND Return on capital employed> 15% AND Debt to equity < 1
@arjunghosh I don't know your context & constraints. There are no one size fit all answers. But you can start analyzing these companies. If you use , you can execute a query that gives you no debt, high divident with high ROCE
@arjunghosh There are strong Indian companies who give out 3 - 5% dividends. If you are young, start building a portfolio with those stocks. You'll have enough corpus when you retire (if you plan to retire at all or retire early)
@arjunghosh Do you get dividends from stocks? or you focus only on growth stocks?
@SejalSud Good luck
Summary of today's discussion; • Think of death • Be in peace with yourself • Celebrate life. • Be the best you can
