If you want to become more confident than 97% of men, read this:

 For 10 years, I was the shyest man alive.

• I was terrified of rejection
• I rarely made new friends or talked to women
• People told me to my face "why do you never talk?"

But, at 18 everything changed…
My lack of confidence led to rock bottom:

• I went through a bad break-up
• I binge drank every weekend
• I ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning

That was the turning point for me.

I did these 5 things and now I'm more confident than ever...
Become comfortable alone.

If you’re uncomfortable alone, it shows a lack of confidence in who you are.

• Go on walks alone
• Go to restaurants alone
• Go to the movies alone

When you become happy on your own, you won’t feel a need to impress others.

This is confidence.
Show confident body language.

Around 70%-93% of communication is nonverbal.

Talking confidently doesn't matter if your body doesn't match.

• Don’t figet
• Speak slower
• Hold eye contact
• Keep your chin up
• Give a firm handshake
• Stand up straight, shoulders back
Be non-reactive.

Confident are calm and rational when things don’t go their way.

To become non-reactive:

• Make meditation a habit
• Reframe negative experiences as positive
• Ask yourself what the logical response is, then follow through

Calm = Confident.
Stop trying to impress.

The man who doesn’t try hard to sell, makes the most sales.

The man who doesn’t try hard with women, gets the most dates.

People are more attracted to who you are than what you say.

Quit trying to convince people you’re worthy.

You are.
Get in the gym.

Lifting weights helps release endorphins and testosterone.

These hormones help relieve:

• Reduce stress
• Reduce anxiety
• Reduce depression

The result?

More confidence.
5 tips that’ll make you more confident than 97% of men:

1. Become comfortable alone
2. Show confident body language
3. Be non-reactive
4. Stop trying to impress people
5. Get in the gym
I've helped 212 men become confident in their body.
P.S. I'm looking for 5 more men who want to lose 15-40lbs in the next 90 days.

3. Temperature

Here’s how to fix them:

7 ways to help you get quality sleep tonight:

1. Use blackout curtains
2. Use a weighted blanket

Sunlight sends a “wakeup” signal to your brain, triggering a release of hormones.

This results in:

• Better focus

To maximize this effect, get 15 minutes of sunlight within the 1st hour of waking.

Although light is beneficial during the day, it can disrupt your sleep at night.

This is because light from:

• TVs
• Phones
• Artificial lights

To prevent from light disrupting your sleep, avoid screens and bright lights 1-2 hours before bed.

If you have to be around light or use tech, use a pair of blue-blocking glasses.

This will ensure you fall asleep easier and wake up feeling refreshed.

Hydrating.

Drinking enough water is crucial to:

• Boost focus

Want to know the 1 secret ingredient every single successful person has?

It’s not time.

It’s something makes them stronger than 99% of the population.

Effort multiplied by consistency.

They show up every day without fail.

We have to focus our efforts on meaningful goals to become successful.

Here are 4 things you can start doing right now to achieve maximum productivity:

1) Cutting the bullshit

What do you think happens when most people try to work 6-8 hours?

How many hours of that time do you think people actually spend doing productive work?

Research shows the typical office worker is only productive for 2 hours and 23 minutes a day.

Busy does not mean productive.

Here’s how you control this:

• Write down your to-dos
• Pick out a few priority tasks
• Schedule time to focus on those things

Choose the tasks that will guarantee to move you closer to a major goal of yours.

I went from "shyest man alive" to speaking on stage.

If you're a man struggling with confidence, read this:


I was arguably the shyest man alive.

I feared rejection
I rarely spoke up
I barely made new friends or approached women

People told me to my face "why do you never talk?"

Today I've realized the root of why I was so shy (you may have a huge epiphany moment reading this)...

As humans, we have a strong instinct to be liked by the people around us.

You see, 2000 years ago roaming the earth in tribes, you NEEDED to be liked or else you'd get kicked from your tribe, and face the mountain lions, disease, & conditions by yourself (basically meant death).

My route to achieve this human instinct - to be liked, was speak as little as possible.

Other people take a different route - speak as much as possible.

But at the end of the day, we are all aiming to be liked.

Now, I knew the root cause... how did I overcome this lack of confidence?

1st - you must accept shyness does not serve you.

Once you fully accept this and are open to change, there are 7 keys I identified that helped me become confident.

Here are the 7 keys to confidence:

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.


It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.


So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.

Starting my 2nd thread on Sringeri Parampara. This will cover the Jagadgurus after Sri Vidyaranya to Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati.

It is really very tough to match the brilliance and achievements of Vidyaranya. After whom came 15 - Chandrashekara Bharati [1386-1389].

The next Acharya was Nrisimha Bharati [1389-1408]. Harihara raya found a town for this Acharya - Narasimhapuram. Acharya helped the king by guiding him in political affairs. He also initiated the kind with mahamantras for spiritual development.

Subsequent Acharyas were
15-Puroshottama Bharati [1408 - 1448]
16-Shankara Bharati[1448 - 1455]
17-Chandrasekhara Bharati II [1455 - 1464]
18- Nrisimha Bharati II [1464 - 1479]
19-Puroshottama Bharati II [1479 - 1517]

20-Ramachandra Bharati [1517 - 1560]. Sadashiva Raya was emporer of Vijayanagara during this time.
21-Nrisimha Bharati III [1560 - 1573]
22-Nrisimha Bharati IV [1573 - 1576]
23-Nrisimha Bharati V [1576 - 1600]

24-Abhinava Nrisimha Bharati [1600-1623]. When he visited Malahanikareswara temple for first time he noticed there was no Vinayaka there so he took piece of turmeric and drew outline of Ganesha on a pillar and offered puja.

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!

Read this. U may get it for free.
Short straddle :
What is ?? Sell an atm call and put.
Instrument: mostly bnf and nf.
Now there are versions of it.
1. Best version :
Enter around 9.15-20 and exit around 3.20. No adjustment nothing.
1/n.


If u r doing it on zero leverage(meaning u have full capital of around bnf's notional contract,i.e. 40000*25 = 10lacs), then u r most likely going to make better than fd or anything like that.
Simple rules : friday,monday, tuesday do for weekly. Wednesday and thrusday next week

So, gamma moves can't impact much.
Another better version of mahesh chander kaushik is to do it for monthly expiry.
Bigger premiums and never hav to worry about 200-300 points sudden moves.
2. 2nd version : have combined stoploss of premiums and re-entry criteria. Example :

Let say 40000 straddle is at 600. Sell at 600 and hav combined sl at 650. Many algos are providing this. U can even place stoploss in % terms. Like, if sold straddle at 400 and placed 10% sl, means if 440 combined premium touch, it will be stoploss.
Let say, in morning,

U sold straddle at 600 and it sl hit at 650. Now, u placed reentry at 600 with same sl. This time may be linear decay happens and u may cover morning's loss and make some profit.
3rd version : stoplosses at each leg and trail sl to cost type.
Example , 40000 straddle at 400.

A thread on an interesting report by Goldman Sachs' Peter Oppenheimer, the bank's chief global equity strategist. He points out that Goldman's "Bear Market Risk Indicator" is looking ominous.


There are three factors that suggest that the recent stability could evaporate and that equities are "about to enter a sustained bear market", Oppenheimer says.

First is the fact that growth, inflation and interest rate outlook is unfriendly for equities.


Second is that greater volatility, such as multiple corrections and new peaks (which we've seen in 2018) tend to presage a full bear market.


Here is Goldman's data showing how falls and bounces tend to come ahead of "the dramatic final fall".

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.

RISHI ASHTAVAKRA(DEVAL)

Those who are well versed in our ancient scriptures must definitely have come across the name of Ashtavakra Muni. Who was he and what is the story behind his body getting crooked from all sides.

Muni Asit was the son of Pracheta Rishi.


He was childless and this caused a lot of worry to him. But an Akashvani assured him that he should go to Shivji to get all his
worries nullified.

So he along with his wife go to Shivji and after paying him obeisance start singing Shivji's praises.

He describes Shiv as the one who is beyond any other thing, whose glory has no words to describe. After this the couple stands with folded hands in front of Rudradev. The strotras sung in praise of Shiv possess magical qualities even today.

Shiv gets satisfied by them soon and is ready to grant a boon.

Shiva told him that, he very well knew what the Muni desired. He then gives him the "Sansaar Vijay' mantra and asks him to keep reciting it. The Isht devi would come at an appropriate time and fulfill his wish.

Asit Muni kept reciting this mantra for hundred years. The Devi appeared and granted him the boon of a son as a Shivansh. A son was born and was named as Deval. He grew upto be a great scholar well versed and a handsome young man. Asit Muni got him married to Ratnamalavati.
