He had tremendous growth rate on his social media
Everything was going good but today he's shutting down his agency
WHY?
I have a story to tell...
I won't name the person but it's related to someone I know digitally
I've been following him for a year or more
He had tremendous growth rate on his social media
Everything was going good but today he's shutting down his agency
WHY?
Started providing digital marketing services but
Instantly started running massive number of ad campaigns on his social media accounts
+
Used to pay around Rs 5-10 lakhs per month = rent in a posh area + employees
Be it on Ads or PR or some branding
Don't believe everything on the internet
Someone might be looking extremely popular or successful but that doesn't represent the reality
Same goes for me
We all content creators show what we want to show (same for hiding stuff)
Don't try to build a brand or do something by going out of your league
Just a bit of patience, and everything works out on time
Who are you trying to impress?
Your digital family? Nope.
They will forget you once you stop appearing
That's how it works

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

Interact with smart people here on Twitter who have different world-views than you do.

Twitter can be terrible if you follow negative people.
It can also be more valuable than a college degree if you follow (and network with) the right people.
You get to look right into their brain and read a daily narrative of HOW they think.
