I’ve interviewed and managed over 2,000 people.
Here are my 55 contrarian observations about humans.
A thread...
(1/x)
They never get past the perceived risk.
If your company doesn’t have one, you need to invent one.
It takes a follow-up meeting to have them retain any details.
(Though any firing that's a surprise means you screwed up as a boss.)
Someone walk hunched over? They likely have low self-confidence.
Someone have shifty eye movements? They’re probably shifty.
(If you find the person who started telling entrepreneurs to “ask for advice when you want money”, please connect me because I want to beat their ass.)
Explains a ton of self-centric behavior.
If you listen closely, they tell you through their speech and thought patterns.
That’s what makes them so dangerous.
No reason to feel bad about it.
Life is too short to deal with assholes or people that are frustrating.
You have to pay attention to their actions to get the truth.
Using it for evil is not.
(See Cialdini: Persuasion)
All starts with asking "why?" someone did something you don't understand.
They grow their decision-making ability all the time.
This means they have high potential.
Ex: Dad was volatile? The kid will be a peaceful dad.
So, watching someone teach a skill can tell you how to teach them.
You can tell mature people because they've learned it’s better to just let other people be wrong.
This also just looks like them following the herd.
Your mission to help people align their roles with their super powers.
Your must identify your weaknesses and craft a life/role that minimizes dependency on them.
5 years to a 20-something is big.
Nothing to a 50-year old.
They always slip up.
If you don't have any of those in common, find another candidate.
And you can double down on the interesting stuff.
We are a Frankenstein-like creation made of their good and bad characteristics.
Nobody here is their real self.
(Especially the people who are going to reply "Yes this is the real me!")
(This is also why two celebrity marriages almost always fail. You can't have two narcissists in a marriage that works!)
They teach kids how to speak concisely and how to identify BS.
Being smart in one thing doesn’t mean you’re smart in other things.
Of course, don't be prejudicial.
But, if someone has a bad reputation, there's often a reason you should find out before trusting them.
Humans adapt more often than not to them.
Good judgement requires intelligence.
Any hiring process should have an intelligence measurement in it.
It's essential for high performance, but grit without smarts and skills goes nowhere.
The highest ROI thing you can do for your kid's future?
Braces.
It’s a self-defense mechanism to make yourself valuable in a social group.
It usually ends up poorly.
If you spend time with those with faith in Tesla, crypto, eth, bitcoin or Elon -- it's immediately clear that religion hasn't actually gone anywhere.
As a leader, you have to encourage leaders to create diverse teams in terms of strengths, weaknesses and viewpoints.
Or it won't happen.
This trick will unconsciously make you spend less.
99% of readers will think you’re full of it.
And keep doing things like they always have.

இது சூரிய குலத்தில் உதித்த இராமபிரானுக்கு தமிழ் முனிவர் அகத்தியர் உபதேசித்ததாக வால்மீகி இராமாயணத்தில் வருகிறது. ஆதித்ய ஹ்ருதயத்தைத் தினமும் ஓதினால் பெரும் பயன் பெறலாம் என மகான்களும் ஞானிகளும் காலம் காலமாகக் கூறி வருகின்றனர். ராம-ராவண யுத்தத்தை
தேவர்களுடன் சேர்ந்து பார்க்க வந்திருந்த அகத்தியர், அப்போது போரினால் களைத்து, கவலையுடன் காணப்பட்ட ராமபிரானை அணுகி, மனிதர்களிலேயே சிறந்தவனான ராமா போரில் எந்த மந்திரத்தைப் பாராயணம் செய்தால் எல்லா பகைவர்களையும் வெல்ல முடியுமோ அந்த ரகசிய மந்திரத்தை, வேதத்தில் சொல்லப்பட்டுள்ளதை உனக்கு
நான் உபதேசிக்கிறேன், கேள் என்று கூறி உபதேசித்தார். முதல் இரு சுலோகங்கள் சூழ்நிலையை விவரிக்கின்றன. மூன்றாவது சுலோகம் அகத்தியர் இராமபிரானை விளித்துக் கூறுவதாக அமைந்திருக்கிறது. நான்காவது சுலோகம் முதல் முப்பதாம் சுலோகம் வரை ஆதித்ய ஹ்ருதயம் என்னும் நூல். முப்பத்தி ஒன்றாம் சுலோகம்
இந்தத் துதியால் மகிழ்ந்த சூரியன் இராமனை வாழ்த்துவதைக் கூறுவதாக அமைந்திருக்கிறது.
ஐந்தாவது ஸ்லோகம்:
ஸர்வ மங்கள் மாங்கல்யம் ஸர்வ பாப ப்ரநாசனம்
சிந்தா சோக ப்ரசமனம் ஆயுர் வர்த்தனம் உத்தமம்
பொருள்: இந்த அதித்ய ஹ்ருதயம் என்ற துதி மங்களங்களில் சிறந்தது, பாவங்களையும் கவலைகளையும்
குழப்பங்களையும் நீக்குவது, வாழ்நாளை நீட்டிப்பது, மிகவும் சிறந்தது. இதயத்தில் வசிக்கும் பகவானுடைய அனுக்ரகத்தை அளிப்பதாகும்.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.
Beautiful explanation on positional option selling by @Mitesh_Engr
Sir on how to sell low premium strangles yourself without paying anyone. This is a free mini course in
Few are selling 20-25 Rs positional option selling course.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

1st Live example of managing a strangle by Mitesh Sir. @Mitesh_Engr
• Sold Strangles 20% cap used
• Added 20% cap more when in profit
• Booked profitable leg and rolled up
• Kept rolling up profitable leg
• Booked loss in calls
• Sold only
Sold 29200 put and 30500 call
— Mitesh Patel (@Mitesh_Engr) April 12, 2019
Used 20% capital@44 each
2nd example by @Mitesh_Engr Sir on converting a directional trade into strangles. Option Sellers can use this for consistent profit.
• Identified a reversal and sold puts
• Puts decayed a lot
• When achieved 2% profit through puts then sold
Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
