12 Best Quotes from the Book “The Obstacle Is the Way”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

 1. “Whatever we face, we have a choice: Will we be blocked by obstacles, or will we advance through and over them?”
2. “There is no good or bad without us, there is only perception. There is the event itself and the story we tell ourselves about what it means.”
3. “Focusing exclusively on what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power.”
4. “Our perceptions determine, to an incredibly large degree, what we are and are not capable of. In many ways, they determine reality itself.

👉When we believe in the obstacle more than in the goal, which will inevitably triumph?”
5. “There is always a countermove, always an escape or a way through, so there is no reason to get worked up.

👉No one said it would be easy and, of course, the stakes are high, but the path is there for those ready to take it.”
6. “All we need to do is those three little duties

-to try hard
-to be honest
-to help others and ourselves.

✅That’s all that’s been asked of us. No more and no less.”
7. “We decide what we will make of each and every situation.

👉We decide whether we’ll break or whether we’ll resist.”
8. “Failure shows us the way—by showing us what isn’t the way.”
9. “It’s supposed to be hard. Your first attempts aren’t going to work. It’s going to take a lot out of you—but energy is an asset we can always find more of.

👉It’s a renewable resource. Stop looking for an epiphany, and start looking for weak points. Stop looking for angels.”
10. “True will is quiet humility, resilience, and flexibility; the other kind of will is weakness disguised by bluster and ambition.

👉See which lasts longer under the hardest of obstacles.”
11. “Wherever we are, whatever we’re doing and wherever we are going, we owe it to ourselves, to our art, to the world to do it well.

✅That’s our primary duty. And our obligation. When action is our priority, vanity falls away.”
12. “You’ll have far better luck toughening yourself up than you ever will trying to take the teeth out of a world that is—at best—indifferent to your existence.”
Can you remember…

- the worst/best decision you’ve ever made?
- the consequences of it?
- all the possible perspective you had?

Go to an upper level of decision making and make you mind to be on auto pilot mode.

10 Life-changing Lessons From the Book “The Art of the Good Life”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

- By Million-selling author of The Art Of Thinking Clearly


1. Peak-end Rule:

You remember the high point and the end point of your holiday, but the rest is forgotten.

👉Remind to make them as sweet as possible.

2. Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.

A good life is not a stable state or condition.

👉The good life is only achieved through constant readjustment.

3. Inflexibility as a Stratagem

When it comes to important issues, flexibility isn’t an advantage – it’s a trap.

👉Use radical inflexibility to reach long-term goals that would be unrealizable if their behavior were more flexible.

4. Reality Doesn’t Care About Your Feelings

👉Accepting reality is easy when you like what you see, but you’ve got to accept it even when you don’t – especially when you don’t.

10 Insightful Lessons From the Book ”Man’s Search For Meaning”

(Over 12 Million Copies Sold)

⚡️Book Review⚡️


1. He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

✅You will be able to face hard times way much easier if you manage to find meaning for your life.

2. You can adapt and get used to literally any condition.

It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.

🔴 Stepping out of our comfort zone will make us understand how further we can actually push our limits.

3. Have courage to accept the things you can’t control.

While being high in self-control is important in achieving our goals, we must not waste our time with things we can’t control.

👉What matters is how we react to situations that are beyond our control.

4. Avoid thinking about success

If you focus on making success your target, you are more likely to miss it.

✅Dedicate your time and effort to a vision that is more significant than yourself, and let success becomes a by-product of this dedication!

10 Insightful Lessons From the Book “Ego is the Enemy”

⚡️Book Review⚡️


1: Your worst enemy lives in you

It is true that all of us, with no exemption, harbors a certain level of pride and ego.

Since pride is in us, it is either we feed it or starve it.

👉How you deal with your pride makes the big difference.

2: Manage your pride

As soon as you feel you are becoming egoistic, boastful, and proud – you can tell yourself to stop.

👉Instead of directing people’s attention to you, choose to direct attention to others.

3: Pride tells you to talk, humility tells you to listen

Ego encourages you to lift yourself and base your worth on nothing or false worth.

On the other hand, humility tells you how important it is to listen to people.

👉So, we listen twice as much as we talk.

4: Become a student

Ego tells you not to listen to anyone. As a result, you stop learning. You stop growing.

So, if you want to keep on learning, learn to be humble first.

✅That’s how you become Great.

10 Life-Changing Lessons “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu

⚡️Book Thread⚡️


1. “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and When you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”

We should devote a significant amount of time to planning.

But remember, without solid action, a plan is just a plan, and nothing more.

2. "There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination, they produce more hues than can ever be seen.”

It’s not about the number of tools you have, it’s about how you use them.

3. “If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.”

Focus is important in order to succeed.

Concentrate on key areas of improvement, and don’t try to be everything and anything at once.

4. “There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.”

We shouldn't wait forever to tackle our problems

We should make progress toward our goals as soon as possible

MY TAKEAWAYS FROM ATOMIC HABITS by @JamesClear

A spectacular book that focuses on building HABITS following SYSTEMS to achieve RESULTS - Instead of the traditional GOAL BASED approach.

It's a highly engaging read with plenty of practical examples .

#BookRecommendation


2/20
Your OUTCOMES are a lagging measure of your HABITS . Although difficult to appreciate on a daily basis , they MATTER IMMENSELY.
Change your habit ,to change the outcome.

It doesn't matter WHERE you are currently,
CHANGE YOUR HABIT TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR LIFE!👇


3/20
You do not RISE to the level of your GOALS .You FALL to the level of your SYSTEMS .

Why so ?

Both WINNERS & LOSERS have a Goal . What then sets them apart ?

It's having a SYSTEM in place.
Systems are forever & they result in continuous SELF IMPROVEMENT .


4/20
Reaching a goal may give rise to emptiness or targetting another goal.
But that isn't the case for systems.

Hence GOALS - OVER RATED SYSTEMS - UNDER RATED

2 small examples on my system based approach for self improvement.

5/20
Your identity emerges out of your habits. Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

Despite knowing better we find that
changing our habits is challenging because :
1) We try to change the wrong thing
2) We try to change our habits in the wrong way.

15 Powerful Lessons from the book "Antifragile"

by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

| Thread


1. The book is about decision-making under uncertainty/volatility.

- EVERYTHING either benefits or is harmed by volatility

- The FRAGILE is harmed (think a glass)

- The ROBUST is unchanged (think The Phoenix)

- The ANTIFRAGILE gets better (think The Hydra)

2.

- There is no way to accurately predict WHICH events will occur

- We CAN measure how fragile we are to events

- We CAN take steps to robustify ourselves

- When shit hits the fan, the fragile breaks

- This applies to the economy, politics, health, etc

3. Naive Interventionism

- Systems are COMPLEX

- Most are beyond our understanding

- When we intervene, we introduce potential harm

- These 2nd and 3rd order effects introduce MORE volatility into the system

- This makes systems even less predictable

- STAY in YOUR lane

4. Via Negativa: Removing is superior to Adding

- Less can be More

- Don't add, subtract

- Eliminate the Artificial

- Eliminate the Unnatural

- Eliminate the Unnecessary

Apply these in all areas of your life. When in doubt, SUBTRACT

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.

The BATTLE OF PAVAN KHIND (13 July 1660)

300 MARATHAS against 10000+ ADIL SHAHI TROOPS

A Sparta style last man stand at a mountain pass which ensured Shivaji Maharaj's safety.

Valour, loyalty and sacrifice!


Baji Prabhu Deshpande was one of the most able lieutenants of Shivaji. He sacrificed his life defending Shivaji in a heroic last stand known as the "Battle of Pavan Khind" in which his force was hugely outnumbered.(1)

In this battle he became a martyr, but managed to halt the enemy forces for several hours, which secured Shivaji’s safety and victory on another front. Without this heroic last stand Shivaji’s glorious career may have been cut short.(2)


Baji Prabhu was senior to Shivaji. In the beginning he opposed Shivaji being from a rival Maratha clan, but realised that Shivaji stood for national resurgence. Henceforth he became a friend and loyal supporter of Shivaji.(3)

In 1660, Shivaji was trapped in the fort of Panhala, under siege and vastly outnumbered by an Adilshahi army led by general Siddhi Jauhar.(4)

Hello, writers! How about a thread on LITERARY AGENTS? How to get one, how to talk to one, how to keep one happy. Spoiler alert: I am 100% pro agent and can't imagine not having one on my side. 1/

Why would you want a literary agent?
* you want to be traditionally published
* you want someone experienced to help guide your career
* you want to learn how to edit like a pro
* you want to sell foreign and movie rights
* you want answers to your newbie questions 2/

Why you might *NOT* want a literary agent:
* you want to self publish
* you're not willing to compromise on your edits
* you don't think their expertise is worth 15% of your advance
I... can't think this way. Literary agents have been crucial to my career. 3/

So, how do you get a literary agent?
1. Have a finished, revised, edited, polished manuscript.
2. Write a query letter for your book
3. Send your query to agents who rep your genre and are open to submissions
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you're offered representation. 4/

So, let's go through those four steps. First of all, you must have a finished, revised, edited, polished book, and it must be sellable. That is, you can't sell a 600k picture book or a 40k adult Fantasy, etc. You must read extensively in the genre you're writing. 5/

1/ Throughout my startup career, I’ve seen many founders have an aversion to sales. This is a mistake that can kill your startup.

2/ Sales is often viewed as either a saving grace or proof that the product isn’t good enough (because it should sell itself). Neither are ever true. Some common mistakes that result in...

3/ Mistake 1: Hire a sales rep before reaching product/market fit to get your initial batch of customers. This is a mistake because founders need to work through their MVP with early adopters to truly understand what it is they’re selling.

4/ Mistake 2: Reach product/market fit, need to scale, and rely entirely on self-serve. For enterprise products that require big commitments and internal shifts, almost no product is self-explanatory enough to sell itself.

5/ Mistake 3: Make a first sales hire who isn’t scrappy enough to help mold the sales process from scratch. Some salespeople are amazing at their jobs, but not cut out to establish the processes that others end up following. This skillset is what @rdedatta calls a “sales ninja”.
