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.
5. "Take the RIGHT advice."

Take advice from those who have skin in the game.

Most people will dish out advice and have no idea what they're talking about.

Or they will somehow benefit from you taking their suggestion.

Pay attention.
6. "Don't waste energy on convincing."

You won't be able to fully convince other people that they're wrong.

Only Reality can do this.
7. "People hate uncertainty."

Most people will choose McDonald's over a random Mexican restaurant because they know what to expect from McDonald's.

People will choose mediocrity over uncertainty.
8. "Employee mindset."

If a person has been an employee for a while, he/she has submitted.

If they are not looking for alternative ways to make money they are like an obedient, housebroken dog.
9. "Real success."

“And I will keep mentioning that I have no other definition of success than leading an honorable life. Honor implies that there are some actions you would categorically never do, regardless of the material rewards."

This is Nassim's definition.
10. "How trust works."

You must always be clear about your intentions.

This will also make you vulnerable and when you combine the two, you cannot be "shamed."

You can protect yourself this way.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have made it to the end of this thread.

Here is my message: You HAVE to pursue your dreams.

Our birthright as humans is greatness, but it is up to YOU to make your dreams a reality.

Keep pushing.

I believe in you.

By far the best book I have read in a long long time.
One can simply begin from any page,for each note makes so much sense that we get lost in them , sometimes chuckling & often amazed .

Here are MY learnings from
" A Book of Simple Living" by Ruskin Bond.


2/22
The book is enriched with life lessons . Most profound of all for me being ,

#Life is simple despite all its hardships and complexities .
For the purpose of life is to live ....

Now, how we choose to live our life makes it simple or complicated.

3/22

Do we chase #happiness by climbing infinite mountains in the quest for fame & wealth or do we savour the goodness in the little things that often come our way but go unnoticed and unappreciated by us ?
For ultimately , " It is the little things that matter the most ".

4/ 22
#Forgiveness is the key to a good night's sleep . We clutter our minds when we cannot forgive.

We may be wronged many a times but one must learn to forgive even without receiving any apology .

For then the day's deeds are truly done .

5/22
#Nature is the best teacher and companion .
She gives us everything , expecting nothing in return .
But she is a force to reckon with when meddled with ...
Be like nature - generous and kind always but don't let others take you for granted .

IKIGAI : A reason for BEING .

I have structured the essential bits & pieces of the book in a flow for easy understanding + compiled some handwritten notes.

As always these are just MY TAKEAWAYS from the book :))
#ikigai
#BookReview
#BookRecommendation


2/
Firstly what is #IKIGAI ?

The Japanese call it - A REASON TO JUMP OUT OF BED EACH MORNING.

It's a convergence of 4 things .
*What you love
*What you are good at
*What you can get paid for
*What the world needs .

We need to find our Ikigai in life!
(Pic from the net)


3/
Let's begin with DAILY HEALTH HABITS.

A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY .

Both our MIND & BODY must be exercised well to avoid deterioration in latter years of life .

Have a mental workout routinely by stepping out of your COMFORT ZONE.
Expose yourself to CHANGE.
#RewireBrain

4/
For a sound body there's no need to exercise relentlessly . Regular Yoga, Surya namaskar and Gardening is more than enough.

Don't be a couch potato! 🤷 Keep moving !
Our metabolism slows down just after 30 min of sitting sedentary.
#KeepMoving

5/
#StressKills

Most health problems are STRESS INDUCED.
Hence TAKE TIME OFF every now & then .
SLOW DOWN !!
Life isn't a race .So stop running all the time.

Condition your mind to enjoy each moment by practising #Mindfulness.
Be Self aware & aware of your surroundings!

What does Gold- Backed mean?
The Chinese Elders have been accumulating gold for hundreds of years. They are gold-rich. Some of their gold was loaned to the Central Banking System so that it could fund the rebuilding of Europe after the many war-torn years from World Wars I and II

BTW they never returned it but used it to start their financial empire to enslave humanity. This is the Central Bank Banking System./2

Maybe this is why one of the conditions to use their gold for the QFS is the demise and full disclosure of the Central Bank banking system before the RV can take place./3

The Elders have caves of hidden gold and are now using it to gold-back the currencies in the QFS for every country in the world. It is important to understand that the QFS and the money it is about to release is all brand-new currency./4

It was designed by the Alliance to fund the new financial system that will reset all Currencies of the world to Gold-Backed currency./5

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI BEEJ / BIJA MANTRA.

Once Suutji in his discourse with King Janmajeya repeated the words of Vyasji regarding the pronounciation of the word ऐ. Vyasji had heard the importance of this word in a meeting of all important saints at Naimisharanya.


There this story was discussed.

In that gathering of such great sages, Rishi Jamdagni asked a question to all the eminent luminaries. He wanted to know which diety is the most revered and gets satisfied easily with our prayers. So Lomash rishi replied that Devi

Bhagwati was one such diety. She will be satisfied and is ready to grant you a boon even if you just say the first letter of her beej mantra. In this context he narrated the story of Satyavrat. The story is as follows.

There lived a Brahmin named Devdutt in Kosal.

He was childless. He arranged for an elaborate yagya for a intelligent son to be born. He invited all the eminent rishi's to conduct this Yagya. Rishi Suhotra, Pael, Brahaspati Yagyavalka were assigned different tasks. Rishi Gobhil was asked to sing the Saamved.

He sang the verses very well, but he had to take respite in order to breathe between two verses. This angered devdutt. He spoke his thoughts to Gobhil rishi.

The rishi got very angry as devdutt did not realise the practicalities of singing. He cursed devdutt that

Did you know?

When Saudi Arabia's King visited India in 1955, PM Nehru ordered all the Hindu Temples and Idols of Hindu Deities that came in Saudi King's way to be covered up.
Our temples are the architectural marvels in their own league.


Each of our temples tells the story of our rich history and cultural heritage. Was Nehru that ashamed of his own nation's heritage that he had to cover them up or there was some other reason? The answer would be best known to him only.

PM Nehru invited the then Saudi King Saud bin Abdul Aziz to India who accepted the invitation and planned a 17 day long official visit to India in 1955. Saudi King had brought a large delegation with him and he had to visit various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Agra,


Aligarh, Shimla, Mysore and Varanasi. However, when Saudi King reached Varanasi, Nehru ordered to cover all the temples and Idols with curtains that came in the way of the Royal Convoy. During his stay in Varanasi, Govt buildings were painted with the words "Kalma Tayyiba".


'Kalma Tayyiba' means 'There is not God but only Allah and Mohammed is his messenger'. In addition to it, Pooja and Aartis were also stopped at temples. I can call it the appeasement politics of the highest order and Nehru was indeed the greatest appeaser of all times.
