What is the boundary line for haves and have-nots? This pandemic has shown even if you a lot it may not be enough to save you.
Life is uncertain. We have to accept that. How do we reconcile "life is uncertain vs death"? If we embrace philosophical view, you can celebrate life.
Sailors face uncertainty everyday. But they also celebrate life.
We are all going to be dead one time. We can die tomorrow. Or in a decade. Once you accept death, you can have inner peace. Then you start living in the present. Write a short story: Today is my last day.... Then write what you'll be ...regrets, gratitude.. @xavierroy
What we have collected - things, people... Take an inventory of things you don't need People - who were with you and who ran away Thank God for even small things... Say a prayer for those who are suffering
Don't get scared of death. Start doing things what you feel should be done @orangeturban
When you have your values set, you can be closer to purpose than process
Dr Paul says when I know how long I have, I can plan things. He knew how long he has. But what should we do when our life goes well?
Our values becomes critical during our critical times. If you want to learn values, read history and literature.
We are so lost in our own life that we don't know what is happening in other's life. We have lost the empathy. Try to be patient and understand others.
We all plan our next 20 / 40 years in life. Dr Paul planned to be a writer after retirement. But then he is met with the news that he has cancer.

Thread of what @keepkwizing shared with us & what others shared in @Clubhouse during this book review
@arun_lakshman Debate is always between “are we principles or stupid”
@marshallk Agree @marshallk . We should learn widely. I am a fan of Peter Kaufman's multi-disciplinary learning: But certification # learning is my point.
@PBeekums They are forcing what is good for them vs Doing what is good writers and readers. There are plenty of mediums...
@marshallk It is only 3 min long ;-) As my friend @rishabhgarian adviced, all my podcast are only as long as a song is. Listen to it my friend.
How to use #linkedin as an employee? Here is the video of the 18th Gravitas WINS show, where we discuss how to use LinkedIn as an employee It was a bonus a talent acquisition manager joined the show too.
Whether we like it or not, we still judge a book by cover. Same way, a LinkedIn profile is judged by its profile photo and banner. Have you fixed these two? We will see other ways to stand out from the crowd. Tune in today at 7 pm. Details:
Who played beach kabadi? This was my favorite game while growing up. I never found any other game as thrilling as kabadi, especially as a player. It is both a single player game and a team game, unlike many other games. #traveldiaries #kabadi
@CalmAchiever Purpose of goals is not to change the future but to shape the present @sivers
@bcosynot I also conduct weekly webinars. So I invested in it. Are you planning a podcast?
@callmehouck It fits with what I have seen. I run a newsletter targeted towards executives of small biz and those who aspire to become executives. They are in LinkedIn. They convert there better. Twitter is goods for learning. Not for sale.
@bcosynot Yes Vivek. I still use the same mic
Do you have any further questions? I will answer whatever I know. If you have a blog, you should start a podcast. Convert your text into audio. It trains your writing muscles too.

How do I promote my podcasts? As like my blog, only friends and family listen to them (more friends than my family. Right @josephineejoyce😜) I share as whatsapp status, LinkedIn story, LinkedIn post, Twitter story, Tweet... Still early days to get good traffic.
I use @sketch to create podcast cover and episode promotional images. I live in India and 4 hour power-cuts are common. I need something that I can work even offline. Also sketch has a great "pay once and use forever" pricing model.
I host with @TransistorFM . I've been following @mijustin ever since his crazy experiements of "100 things to do in a year". For me creating a podcast is a crazy experiment. So hosting on his platform seemed just about right. Also I'm part of his @megamaker club 😜
I record using GarageBand. I don't use any special settings. "Narrative Vocal" works wonders for me. I use ATR 2100 USB with pop filter to record the podcast. I record a sample for few minutes to check if I've switched on the mic, set the settings properly etc.
Just before I record, I do some facial and voice exercises just to make sure I would sound ok on the podcast. I repeat phrases like, • laba laba laba • peeli pali poli This is the part where my sons and wife tosses a coin if I'm still sane. 😱😂
Once content is ready, I read it aloud once or twice. • Are there "big" words that I could mispronounce? • Do I sound like talking to a friend or as corporate mumbo jumbo? • Is the speaking flow naturally from start to end?
All planning happens in @obsdmd . • topics to create • episode script • podcast checklist All are stored in Obsidian. It is my digital brain. Everything goes there. If I've to edit on mobile, I use @1writerapp
Wouldn't you love a place if it has two of what you love - hills and water? This is Morni Hills, thankfully just few kilometers from home. Everything is good, but too many sharp bends. Have to still get used to drive in those sharp bends. #traveldiaries #haryanatourism
@vinodjose You could stop after first three words and that would make India a superpower ;-)
@joshgachnang @mijustin If you mean optionality = heads I win, tails I don’t lose, then it is a problem:
@Codie_Sanchez Wouldn't community a better leverage than audience?
@keepkwizing unbelievable that Witco shutdown :-( so many memories
@amitranjan Whether it is IT architecture or governance architecture, decentralized self-organizing architecture is the resilient one.
If you enjoy temple architecture, then Hampi & Badami are the places to be. Our ancestors had such intricate craftsmanship even in the 6th century. If you want to know more: #traveldiaries #templearchitecture #karnatakatourism
@SejalSud They are LLC but profitable.
@SejalSud Don't understand the question - LLC in terms of limited liability company or something else? If it so, any relevance to the discussion?
@join2jasmine @SejalSud Thank you @sejalsud for the intro. Thanks @join2jasmine for joining today and making the session engaging. You can watch today's session here:
You leave me in a beach with a book and pina colada, I'll stay in peace. St Mary's Island, Udupi, Karnataka #traveldiaries #karnatakatourism #peaceonearth
Phases of growing relationship: visibility, credibility, and profitability - Visibility: create recognition & awareness - Credibility: walk the talk; talk with your results - Profitability: If it doesn’t profit both partners, it will not endure
As a software engineer, I loathed networking. Once I understood networking and the power of it, I can't stop talking to people and help them have a great day.
Law of reciprocity plays an important role in increasing the number of people who wants you to succeed. Law of reciprocity requires: - giving to the group - abundance mindset - actively seeking out opportunities to help others
Put together a hit list of 50 people you’d like to stay in touch with this year. Ever since I read this, I have made a list of nice folks and covering that list 3 per week. Joining active community like Gravitas WINS helps
Success is social: all the ingredients of success that we customarily think of as individual — talent, intelligence, education, effort, and luck—are intertwined with networking
