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.

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.

10 Fiction Books to transform your 20s.

➤ Siddhartha

”Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else.”

There’s a lot you can learn from the internet, but you’re not learning if you’re only consuming.

Create something. Learn by doing.

➤ The Alchemist

”When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

When you want something enough, it will always be on your mind.

Suddenly you'll see way more opportunities than you did before.

Figure out what you want and watch doors open.

➤ The Sorrows of Young Werther

”All the knowledge I posses everyone else can acquire, but my heart is exclusively my own.”

Learning a skill is the first step, but positioning is what makes the difference between competition and monopoly.

Find the niche that suits you most.

➤ Kafka on the Shore

”What you need to do is move from reason that observes to reason that acts.”

Watching others realise their dreams will make you informed at best and envious at worst.

Start your journey from consumer to creator (w/ @The1stReporter) and don't look back.

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.

KANIPAKAM VINAYAKA, CHITOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Kani means wetland and Pakam means flow of water into wetland.
Kanipakam Vinayaka is swayambhu (self-manifested). The murti is in a well which is always full of water.

Once, there were three brothers. Each one had a handicap- Dumb, Deaf and Blind. They had a small piece of land for livelihood. For their field, they drew water from a well. One day, they found that the well had dried up so one of them started digging in the well.

His tool hit something and blood oozed out. They found a swayambhu murti of Ganesha here.
Villagers started offering coconut water which overflew into a channel. Hence the name Kanipakam.

The murti is still growing in size. At present, we see the knees and the abdomen only. The Kavacham (Armour) offered to Vinayaka 50 years ago doesn’t fit today.
Vinayaka is believed to be the upholder of truth. So people come here and swear before him to prove their innocence.

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.

Story is related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that

mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after getting blessing from Brahma Deva and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared

here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah
🙏🕉🙏

THE UNTOLD TALE OF THE LESSER KNOWN WARRIORS:JOGRAJ GURJAR & RAMPYARI GURJAR AND HOW DID THEY DEFEAT THE CRUELEST ISLAMIC INVADER, TIMUR LANG.

Timur Lang, was the founder of Timurid Empire. He was born in April 1336 CE, somewhere in central asia.

During his reign, he conquered Persia, Egypt, Central Asia and emerged as the most powerful and heinous ruler. He was a religious fanatic like the rest of the Islamic invaders who tried to invade India.

Timur Lang decided to invade India in 1398 as he heard about India's splendid wealth and had a desire to conquer India which his ancestor Genghis Khan couldn't do.

After Firoz Shah's demise in1388, Delhi Sultanate was in a state of political turmoil.During this time, Timur sent his grandson Pir Mohammad to attack Indian front. He invaded Multan&was able to defeat Iqbal Khan's brother but when he met with resistance,he asked help from Timur.

Iqbal Khan secured his hold on Delhi under Muhammad Tughluq after Firoz Shah died.
Timur provided the required back-up to his grandson with 100000 men approx. Timur sacked and plundered all the cities coming in his way &later in October 1398 reunited with his grandson.

According to psychologists, there are four types of intelligence:

- Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
- Emotional Quotient (EQ)
- Social Quotient (SQ)
- Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. IQ is the measure of one's ability to comprehend, solve maths; memorize things & recall subject matters.

2. EQ is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine, and considerate.

3. SQ is the measure of one's ability to build a network of friends & maintain it over a long period of time.

4. AQ is the measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing your mind. It is a new paradigm and can be used to determine who will give up in face of troubles and may abandon their families.

Now to the very interesting & analytical part👇

People that have higher EQ & SQ tend to go further in life than those with high IQ but low EQ &SQ.

Most schools capitalize on improving IQ level while EQ & SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ & SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents your charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.

EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other.

Try not only to have a higher IQ but also to have higher EQ and SQ.

Sri Gurubhyo Namah.
Some tweets on Adi Shankaracharya and in particular the Guru Parampara of @sringerimath. [I had done this series earlier 5 years ago on account of Shishya Sweekaram].

Adi Shankara established the Sringeri Peetham as the 1st of 4 amnaaya peetams.

The four being
1. Sarada Peetam at Sringeri.
2. Govardhana Peetam at Puri
3. Kalika at Dwaraka
4. Jyothir at Badarikashramam.

He installed his 4 most prominent shishyas as heads of the peetams.

Sureshwaracharya was assigned to Sringeri as its head.

Sringeri is a corruption of Rshyashrunga giri.

Rshyashrunga maharshi [and his father Sri Vibandhaka Maharshi] did their tapas at this place.

It is at Sringeri that Shankara spent 12 of His precious 32 years!!

That gives you and idea how much He loved this place.

Rshyashruga maharshi had a horn on his forehead, a result of being born to a deer. His mere presence was enough to shower rains!!

Rshyashrunga was one who led Putrakamesthi Yaagam of Dasaratha Maharaj and which resulted in Sri Rama's birth!!
