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!
5. The salvation of man is through love and in love.

❤️Love should make you the best version of yourself.

It should motivate you, make you less selfish or judgmental, more positive, in a better mood, and the list can go on.
6. There is only one thing that cannot be taken away from you, your attitude.

👉The true test of our character is revealed in how we act, and you have the complete freedom to choose how to respond in any situation.
7. There is meaning in suffering.

If pain and suffering is avoidable, then we should avoid it.

✅The moment we make suffering meaningful, we will implicitly make it bearable.
8. You can resist the influence of even the most toxic environments — your actions are your own.

❌No matter what the situation, you control what you think, how you respond, and your own state of mind.

Nobody except you has control of your mind.
9. Human kindness can be found in the most surprising places.

The world can be a tough place and people can be really mean, but don’t judge a person only by a situation.

✅Each of us have a positive side as well.
10. Laughing and having a sense of humor will change the way you look at your life

If you want to be a successful person, note that positive thinking will not only give you more confidence, improve your mood,

👉but also help you approach unpleasantness in a more productive way
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 Key Lessons From the Book “Black Swan” By: Nassim Taleb

⚡️Book Review⚡️


1. Don’t chase black swans, instead, let them permeate your life.

👉You can do this by experimenting, cultivating serendipity,

🚫not taking bell curves too seriously, and investing in lots of small outlier but high-risk opportunities.

2. Black swan events Key attributes:

- Extremely impactful
- Are outlier events
- Are retrospectively predictable, not prospectively predictable

🚫Try to avoid situations that can fool you in a huge way, and avoid depending on huge, and potentially harmful predictions.

3. Randomness mainly comes from lack of knowledge

Surviving until tomorrow could mean that you’re either more likely to be immortal, or closer to death.

👉Both of these conclusions are based on the same exact data.

4. Unknowns are more important than the knowns

👉We can master things in one field and fail to transfer the same to another.

Everyone has their own limitations when it comes to learning from experience or observation.

⚡️Book Review⚡️

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.

👉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 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

Marathon Asset produced several iconic investors such as Nick Sleep and Jeremy Hosking.

Their letters from 2002 to 2015 provided a treasure trove of insights into their investment frameworks and how they look at the capital cycle.

Here are my main takeaways:


1/ Periods of high profitability leads to reckless investments.

When profits are high:

-Boost CAPEX with little regard for ROIC
-Competitors will follow suit to avoid losing market share
-CEO's incentives aren't aligned with shareholders

It's a race to the bottom.


2/ The capital cycle will swing down when investments are taken too far.

Forecasts that were reasonable will now look overly optimistic.

Profits collapse, management teams are changed, CAPEX is cut, and consolidation begins.

This will pave way for a recovery of profits.


3/ Asset growth matters

Consider both asset growth at the company and industry level.

Avoid industries where assets are growing rapidly.


4/ We tend to extrapolate

When overdone, investments that appear logical at first can become disastrous.

We have a tendency to forecast linearly when many things are cyclical.

Examples: trade cycles, credit cycles, etc

Many Harvard graduates have been fired by college dropouts.

Trump on climate: I don't believe it. Trump on Khashoggi: I don't believe it. Trump on Russia: I don't believe it. Idiocy? A canny game? Doesn't really matter as much as the underlying intellectual autocracy. In this administration only one opinion matters.

It's an assault on facts and reason. It's an assault on good governance. It's an assault on the bureaucracies that are being discounted. It's an assault on science and history. But it is also an assault on one of the underpinnings of democracy.

We live in a system that is grounded on the idea of collaborative government. Leaders may have a final word but even then, there are typically checks and balances. Hopefully, in this case, such checks and balances may work. But they also are being tested.

The president's position that he is smarter than all the world's scientists, than the entire intelligence community, than experts who have studied any issue all their lives, is, of course, asinine. But his belief that government turns solely on his opinion, is monarchic.

Louis XIV reportedly said, "L'etat est moi." That he was the state. Trump asserting that he knows better than all, discounts all advice, that his brain is enough to chart the course for America alone, is essentially saying the same thing.

"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

HULK - grabs a selfie stick from one of the guys and beats him over the head with it. Deeming it too small, he grabs another guy's Confederate flag and takes out a whole swath of rioters. He then tosses the flag to Cap, who uses it as a javelin to impale a fleeing Ted Cruz.
