7 Powerful Lessons from the Book "Skin in the Game"

By Nassim Nicholas Taleb

| Thread

1. "You will never fully convince someone that they are wrong; only reality can.

To be precise, reality doesn’t care about winning arguments; survival is what matters."

2. "Focusing on just words put us at a dangerous path since we are much better at doing than understanding. Doers win by doing and not by convincing."

3. "Don’t take advice from people who don’t have skin in the game, i.e., be aware of the person who gives advice, telling you that a particular action is good for you and while it’s also good for him or her. While the harm directly affects you and not him."

4. "You don’t want to win an argument; you want to win whatever you’re after money, goals, convertible car."

8 Powerful Lessons from the book "Antifragile"

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. 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

3. Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence"

Just because...
- you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there
- something is unintelligible doesn't mean it's unintelligent
- you can't explain something doesn't mean it's not important

-->Have HUMILITY

4. If you have more than one reason to do something, just don’t do it.

It does not mean that one reason is better than two, just that by invoking more than one reason you are trying to convince yourself to do something. Obvious decisions require no more than a single reason.

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 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.

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!

1 There's a chasm between an NLP technology that works well in the research lab and something that works for applications that real people use. This was eye-opening when I started my career, and every time I talk to an NLP engineer at @textio, it continues to strike me even now.

2 Research conditions are theoretical and/or idealized. A huge problem for so-called NLP or AI startups with highly credentialed academic founders is that they bring limited knowledge of what it takes to build real products outside the lab.

3 A product is ultimately a thing that people pay for - not just cool technology or user experience. But I’m not even talking about knowledge gaps in go-to-market work. I'm talking purely technical gaps: how you go from science project to performant + delightful user experience.

4 Most commoditized NLP packages solve well-understood problems in standard ways that sacrifice either precision or performance. In a research lab, this is not usually a hard trade-off; in general, no one is using what you make, so performance is less important than precision.

5 In software, when you’re making something for real people to use, these tradeoffs are a big deal. Especially if you’re asking those people to pay for what you’ve made (can’t get away from that pesky GTM thinking). They expect quality, which includes precision AND performance.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:

Next level tactic when closing a sale, candidate, or investment:

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d

You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
— Erik Torenberg (@eriktorenberg) February 27, 2018

2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
