7 Lessons from Mind Management Not Time Management

(thread)

1) Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.

2) If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way. So don't check email, don't check social media - just get right to the most important thing.

3) Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.

4) MANY of us approach productivity today as if it's the speed of production, not the quality of our thinking, that matters.

9 Best Lessons From "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Green

- 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙-

1. Always Say Less Than Necessary

The more you talk the more likely you will say something foolish.

- Ask questions and listen more
- Control what you reveal about yourself
- Avoid revealing your weaknesses to others

2. So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard It With Your Life

You can use it to intimidate and win.

But it can also kill you and the opportunities that present themselves to you.

Being unpopular and going against what's popular might seem cool, but it can harm you too.

3. Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument

Any triumph you gain through argument doesn't have much value, won't last long and is a waste of time.

The more you think about this, you realize how true it is.

Focuso on your actions.

4. Avoid the Unhappy and the Unlucky

Emotions can be as infectious as a pandemic.

Avoid people who portray themselves as victims. You won't be able to cure them, so don't sink trying to save them.

Surround yourself with happy and ambitious people.

I first read this book in 2009 after losing 80% of my monies on Penny stocks as a student when the 2008 drawdown happened.

Thought it was too simple !

Now in 2021, I think this is one of the best books to absorb & implement.

Investing means different things to different people - Be it health/ career/external assets with an intent to reap benefits in future.

So then is everyone an Investor ?
No.
When people do different things with even same investment products we give it a different name.
👇

3/22
Investing is a PERSONAL Plan .
It's NOT a product . NOT a procedure.

One needs to have a clear picture of one's financials BEFORE making an investment plan.

Investment products comprise of items with distinct characteristics DESIGNED to satisfy a particular need.
👇

4/22
Nothing is permanent except CHANGE.
Same applies for market cycles.
Different Asset Classes help us in that.

By smart movement one can increase the velocity of one's money.

It is NOT about timing the markets.
It's ABOUT the trends in an asset class.

Few pointers
👇

5/22
Many folks acquire Speculative habits mistakenly thinking they are Investing. ☠️

L.T Investing is central for optimum returns.
Markets will be volatile.
But in long run shall only go ⬆️

#TheChineseBamboo
The seeds require to be nurtured with love and care for no less than 5 years without showing any results. The first 4 years solely consist of nurturing & tending with NO SIGNS OF GROWTH. But the farmer goes about his job out of habit .+

3/6
In the 5 th yr all of a sudden it begins its exponential growth & shoots to over 90ft in just 6 weeks.
Miraculous , ain't it? 🙂
The farmer tends without knowing the outcome every single day with the same amount of love & concern .He never gives up. He keeps his habit.

Lessons learnt

2) One must persevere no matter what. Persistence pays off.
3)Habit or Hope?
I would say both .We need to have faith in ourselves & keep putting in our reps. #Iterations matter +

5/6

"13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do"
✍🏻 @AmyMorinLCSW

📚 Book Review (thread)

1.Mentally Strong People Don’t Worry About Pleasing Everyone

Pleasing everyone can negatively impact mental strength.

When you accept you won’t please everyone, you become stronger and build courage when you anticipate displeasing others.

2.They Don’t Feel the World Owes Them Anything

Mentally strong people can shift their focus away from their debt. Hence, they can help people in need. Mentally strong people keep themselves busy doing good deeds.

3.They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

No one is immune to hard times. However, it is how you react to these situations that is important. They replace self-pity with gratitude.

4.They Don’t Resent Other People’s Success

Overcome your envy of other people’s success and learn how to use their success to your benefit.

When people enjoy and celebrate success, they attract other successful people, creating opportunities for collaboration success.

Top 10 Lessons From the Book: "Skin in the Game"

By Nassim Nicholas Taleb

📘Book Summary

1. "Talk is cheap."

Stop talking about doing things and actually DO THEM.

This world desperately needs courageous individuals, who will take action on their dreams.

Be that person.

2. "Experience vs. Theory."

"We are much better at doing than understanding."

Experience is your best teacher.

We as humans are meant to be DOING THINGS.

Not just theorizing about stuff all day.

3. "Yes or No?"

Every decision can be simplified down to either being for or against something.

No matter the sophistication of the situation, try to boil it down to a simple "YES" or "NO"

4. "Dominance of the Minority."

Most people are passive and don't care enough to debate topics.

This is how books get banned for example.

All it takes is a small minority who are really stubborn to move the needle.
