15 sentences to make you more productive:

(from the book THE ONE THING)

1.

"Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus… when you spread yourself out, you end up spread thin."

2.

"The path to more is through less."

3.

"Activity is often unrelated to productivity.
Busyness rarely takes care of business."

4.

"Things don’t matter equally.
Success is found in doing what matters most."

5.

"Multitasking is a lie … It’s an effective way to get less done."

6.

"Success is about doing the right thing.
Not about doing everything right."

7.

"A balanced life is a lie … Extraordinary results require focused attention and time. Time on one thing means time away from another. This makes balance impossible."

8.

"Big thoughts go nowhere without bold action."

9.

"Until my ONE Thing is done — everything else is a distraction."

10.

"Visualizing the process — breaking a big goal down into the steps needed to achieve it — helps engage the strategic thinking you need to plan for and achieve extraordinary results."

11.

"If disproportionate results come from one activity, then you must give that one activity disproportionate time."

12.

"The people who achieve extraordinary results don’t achieve them by working more hours … They achieve them by getting more done in the hours they work."

13.

"Taking complete ownership of your outcomes by holding no one but yourself responsible for them is the most powerful thing you can do to drive your success."

14.

"When you give your ONE Thing your most emphatic ‘Yes!’ and vigorously say ‘No!’ to the rest, extraordinary results become possible."

15.

"High achievement and extraordinary results require big energy. The trick is learning how to get it and keep it."

At last, the core question of the book:
(Probably the most impactful words, at least to me)

"What is the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"

Ask the above question every day to yourself.

Peter Lynch averaged 29.2% annual return between 1977 to 1990.

His books One Up Wall Street and Beating the Street offered great insights into his success.

Here are my top 10 lessons from the legend:

1. This quote was so good Warren Buffett cited it in his shareholder letter.

“Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds.”

2. Volatility is the price of admission.

“People who succeed in the stock market also accept periodic losses, setbacks, and unexpected occurrences. Calamitous drops do not scare them out of the game.”

3. On how many stocks you should own.

"Owning stocks is like having children. Don't get involved with more than you can handle."

4. On making mistakes.

"There's no shame in losing money on a stock. Everybody does it. What is shameful is to hold on to a stock, or worse, to buy more of it when the fundamentals are deteriorating."

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.

#booklovers

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.

12 Lessons from 'Never Split the Difference' every negotiator must learn

A THREAD:

Create Warmth by Using First Names

Your name is possibly the only thing that's yours but is used more by others.

We all love to hear our names, to be acknowledged, to be recognized, to feel at home,

And using first names while conversing is a great way to develop rapport.

Be a Mirror

The person first ought to trust you in order for him to believe you.

And one of the quickest and surest ways of developing trust,

Is mirroring the person's body language and words.

He'd subconsciously lower his guard and feel at ease.

Listen deeply to understand them

Everyone wants to feel understood.
There is no hack for this.

You genuinely have to be interested to understand what the other person's views are.

And for that to happen,

Your mind should be quiet and present at the moment.

Summarize their position back to them

Once you listen to them deeply,

Summarise what they just told you back to them.

It'd demonstrate empathy and the person would know that you actually paid attention.

Thiruvizha Mahadeva Kshetram
#Alappuzha
#Keralatemples 🚩

Thiruvizha Mahadeva Kshetram is located in Cherthala and it is believed that Prathishta of temple was done by Vilwamangalam Swamy. Paramashiva is Swayambhu here and is worshipped as Kalakandha which means who swallowed

Halahala visham to save the world during Samudra mathanam.

It is a famous temple where people seek the blessings, for curing the Kaivisham. The poison given by someone to destroy a person is made to vomit here. This is removed by making them vomit the poison by a special

medicine.
The medicine for vomiting is made from a plant near temple by Palodathu family. The milk offered to Bhagwan is mixed with the extracts of the plant.

Story says that once this place was a dense forest, and a woman was looking for the presence of a tortoise in the pond

and the tip of her stick hit the bottom and it started bleeding in the pond.
Frightened, the lady informed every one and after searching in pond people found Swayambhu Lingam inside the pond. Thus Prathishta was done here.

Om Namah Shivaye
Shambo Mahadeva

Some people really benefit from hearing advice that everyone knows, for the same reason we keep schools open despite every subject in them having been taught before.

In that spirit, here's some quick Things Many People Find Too Obvious To Have Told You Already.

Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution. You think you are an exception; you are not. You should not insist on an NDA to talk about it; nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

Technologists tend to severely underestimate the difficulty and expense of creating software, especially at companies which do not have fully staffed industry leading engineering teams ("because software is so easy there, amirite guys?")

Charge more. Charge more still. Go on.

The press is a lossy and biased compression of events in the actual world, and is singularly consumed with its own rituals, status games, and incentives. The news necessarily fails to capture almost everything which happened yesterday. What it says is important usually isn't.

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.

THREAD: What is Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle and how it impacts India?

Golden Crescent region of South Asia - comprises of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan - which is a principal global site for opium production and distribution.

Golden Triangle is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers. The Golden Triangle is called so because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan on a map.

India is wedged bw world’s 2 largest areas of illicit opium production, Golden Crescent & Golden Triangle, that has made Indian borders vulnerable to drug trafficking. It flows from 2 fronts, NW & NE, that possesses dual concern - violation of border & threat to national security

- Golden Crescent is world’s leading opium and cannabis producing region since 1983.

- Its proximity to Indo-Pak border has worsened the trafficking of hashish and heroin into Indian soil

- Trafficking happens through the border states of J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

- Golden Triangle is leading opium producing region of the South-east Asia, also an ancient narcotics supply route to North America & Europe.

- Myanmar-Northeast nexus is recognized by NCB as the root of heroin & chemical drugs

- Myanmar produces 80% of heroin produced in world

Make them irrelevant > Hold a grudge

Holding a grudge is the easy thing to do.

But holding a grudge is not the right thing to do.

A grudge puts poison in your body & rewires your subconscious mind.

You consume the poison & destroy your reality while your attacker sleeps like a baby.
