Why?

To become a fulltime creator.

26 ideas from @khemaridh on how to become a fulltime creator.

h/t @dickiebush #ship30for30 office hours

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

 It's not how skilled you are.

It's your willingness to show up.
Nobody knows what they are doing.

Everyone is trying to figure it out.

Just keep going.
Be selfish with your creation.

Scratch your own itch.

Do things that stimulate your mind.
Nobody wants to compete with someone who:

1. Has fun doing what they are doing
2. Spends 16 hours on their craft

Follow your curiosity and you will always win.
Stay guided by fun.

If something isn't fun, don't do it.

Learn to say no.
Fall in love with the craft.

If you love the craft, you are going to stick with it.
Quit things that aren't fun.

If you don't like Instagram, don't use Instagram.

If you don't like Youtube, don't use Youtube.
Don't feel pressured to do things you are not interested in.

Just because others are doing it, doesn't mean you have to do it.
You're going to repeat ideas.

You will write the same thing over and over.

That's okay.

The more you write about it, the tighter the idea gets.
Things I wish I would have known when I was starting writing

1. Headlines matter
2. Framing matters
3. Leverage Zeitgeist
Headlines matter

Write 10-15 headlines for every post that you write.
Framing matters

Frame your message in a unique way
1. Tell stories
2. Use examples
3. Relate to other concepts and ideas
Leverage Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist is the spirit of a generation or a period of time

It answers...

1. What's going on right now?
2. What are people talking about?
Find your core ideas through iteration.

Loop those ideas through everything that you do.
Facts don't sell.

Stories sell.
Talent without distribution is wasted.

Talent is important.

Distribution is MORE important.
Want to become a better writer?

Write and PUBLISH every day for a year.

Just write.
Find what you are good at, and keep doing it.

Forget about the things you don't enjoy doing.
There is a benefit from sharing your ideas on a social network.

Social networks allow people to learn who you are.
The more time you spend on distribution, the less time you are going to spend on writing.

Focus on making distribution easy.
Focus less on notetaking systems...

Google is the best place to find information

Your prior writing is the next best place
Ask yourself...
Is my notetaking a form of escapism?

If it is, cut it.

Don't let your notetaking system limit your creativity.
Want to know the ultimate compounding?

SHIPPING!

Just keep shipping your work.

Notetaking apps don't ship for you
Do you define your self worth from what you accomplish?

Want to know how to manage this?

Ask yourself why.

Then ask yourself again.

And again.
Why I write...

1. It's fun
2. It can make me money
3. It's a creative outlet
4. It's a form of therapy
Bottom line...
1. Follow your curiosity
2. Be consistent
3. Ignore the noise

Some tweets on Adi Shankaracharya and in particular the Guru Parampara of @sringerimath. [I had done this series earlier 5 years ago on account of Shishya Sweekaram].


Adi Shankara established the Sringeri Peetham as the 1st of 4 amnaaya peetams.

The four being
1. Sarada Peetam at Sringeri.
2. Govardhana Peetam at Puri
3. Kalika at Dwaraka
4. Jyothir at Badarikashramam.

He installed his 4 most prominent shishyas as heads of the peetams.

Sureshwaracharya was assigned to Sringeri as its head.

Sringeri is a corruption of Rshyashrunga giri.

Rshyashrunga maharshi [and his father Sri Vibandhaka Maharshi] did their tapas at this place.

It is at Sringeri that Shankara spent 12 of His precious 32 years!!

That gives you and idea how much He loved this place.

Rshyashruga maharshi had a horn on his forehead, a result of being born to a deer. His mere presence was enough to shower rains!!

Rshyashrunga was one who led Putrakamesthi Yaagam of Dasaratha Maharaj and which resulted in Sri Rama's birth!!

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.
#Krishnaleela
#Bhakthi
πŸ•‰
We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna.Β This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.


There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack πŸ‘‡


and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1


The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..πŸ‘‡


To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.

'Treasure Gods' - Sangha Nidhi' and 'Padma Nidhi', Tirumala, Tirupati.

------------------------------------

These are the two guards guarding the Wealth and Treasure of Lord Sri Venkateswara.

They are representatives of two treasures of Kubera, the God of Wealth.


One guard who is holding shangam (conch) on both the hands is known as Shanka Nidhi ('nidhi' means wealth).

On the other side, the guard who is holding Lotus flowers on both the hands is known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from the ocean which includes all types of wealth like pearls and corals.

Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of 'omkaram'.

'Padmam' is the symbol of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. which is very important for all living beings.

As per the tradition, these guards are installed at the third entrance of the temple.

One enters the holy shrine after saluting the first protection threshold - Sankha Nidhi and Padma Nidhi.

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. πŸ˜‚


Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
πŸ“Œ
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
πŸ“Œ

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
πŸ“
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our lives?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,

1/OK, I should really write another thread about university-centric regional development, because I think people often make some (very understandable) mistakes when thinking about this issue.

2/The biggest myth, I think, is that universities help regions by educating locals as undergraduates.

Skeptics of universities say: "But most of the people who graduate end up leaving."

3/In fact, most of what a university does for a regional economy is NOT about educating local kids.

Educating local kids is good for the nation, but doesn't help a region much.

The way a university helps a region is through

4/Undergraduates usually leave town after graduation.

But university RESEARCH pulls in OTHER smart people from other regions, and they stay there.

Here's a paper showing that this is the main way universities increase a region's human capital:

5/Research also pulls in business investment.

Companies want to partner with university labs, so they can commercialize the technologies the labs produce. So they invest in the labs, and sometimes they even put their offices in the town.

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.


Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya β€”β€” the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi β€”β€” the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi β€”β€” the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02

πŸ“ˆ ~12000 vistis
β˜‘οΈ 109 transactions
πŸ’° 353€ profit (285 after tax)

I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ


I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:

- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails

etc.

These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. πŸ‘Œ

omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

It is 2018 and this error message is a mistake from 1974.
This limitation, which is still found in the very latest Windows 10, dates back to BEFORE STAR WARS. This bug is as old as Watergate.


When this was developed, nothing had UPC codes yet because they'd just been invented.
Back when this mistake was made, There was only one Phone Company, because they hadn't been broken up yet. Ted Bundy was still on the loose. Babe Ruth's home run record was about to fall.

When this bug was developed, Wheel of Fortune hadn't yet aired. No one had seen Rocky Horror. Steven Spielberg was still a little-known directory of TV films and one box-office disappointment. SNL hadn't aired yet. The Edmund Fitzgerald was still hauling iron ore.

WHEN THIS STUPID MISFEATURE WAS INVENTED, THE GODFATHER PART II HAD JUST OPENED IN THEATERS.

So, why does this happen? So Unix (which was only 5 years old at this point) had the good idea of "everything is a file" which mean you could do things like write to sockets, pipes, the console, etc with the same commands and instructions.
