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.

A quickfire thread based on a book I read recently titled " 80/20 YOUR LIFE " .

Disclaimer : This is MY interpretation & the ratio (80/20) is variable..
The essence here is to identify what matters & weed out the inconsequential & thereby manage time accordingly.

2/12
The #Pareto principle - 80/20 Rule is pretty well known & discussed in context of work & business productivity.
But it can also be applied practically in our day to day life in all possible aspects to ensure smooth sailing.
How do we do that? 🤔

3/12
Pretty simple actually !
Our Top priority goal must be a S.M.A.R.T goal aka :

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time based goal .

Everything is #time based as time saved can be used constructively for other purposes or even wasted happily ! :))

4/12

A large proportion of our output results from a small proportion of inputs . LEVERAGE SMARTLY !
*Cultivate a forward looking #mindset.
* Learn to #skim and #scan.
* Dedicate #focus & #energy to tasks that produce the greatest impact WRT our goals.
* #Unlearn often

5/12
*#TimeManagement*

Maintain a quality to-do list & a daily to-do list .Ensure high value tasks are mentioned first. Stick to it !
*Be realistic .
*Don't bite off more than you can chew.
*Under promise & over deliver at work to gain attention intially ( NOT VICE VERSA!)

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.

#LetsTalkMoney by @monikahalan is all about US understanding OUR Needs & Wants, & constructing OUR Money Box.

It helps BUILD a system in place , rather than focusing on a (non existent ) single shot solution.

MUST READ FOR ALL !

#BookRecommendation

A 🧵 on it .
👇

2/15
Firstly, build your own system to manage Cash Inflows & Outflows .
Find a way that's least troublesome but automatically separates the 2.

#Budgeting & #Allocation must not be a cumbersome task !

Easy bifurcation helps in Better mapping.

A bird's eye view on the same 👇

3/15
Moving onto Emergencies . This pandemic has made so many of us realise the importance of it .

Another interesting facet :
Unwillingness to take risks comes from the FEAR of not having money when needed - typically why Bank F.Ds are preferred.

Hence the EMERGENCY fund.

4/15
*It shall DIFFER from person to person.
*Understand HOW to go about it & BUILD up your fund.
*It takes 2-3 months time to figure out our expenses & 6 months - 1year atleast to build up this fund.
*So be patient ! 🤷
Don't jump the gun .

#EmergencyFund pointers:

5/15
Moving onto #HealthInsurance .

It takes just one Hospital visit to realise the importance of a comprehensive Health cover . 🙄🤷

Sharing a few points that must not be missed prior to taking a policy .

The book explains EVERY POINT in DETAIL along with examples.

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!

"I really want to break into Product Management"

"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."

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

"I really want to break into comics"

"If only someone would tell me how I can get an editor to notice me."

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.
