*WORDS OF WISDOM:*

*TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT AND UNNECESSARY PRESSURE IN LIFE IN 2021*

1. Put your kids in
schools you can afford
because expensive
schools don't
guarantee good
results. Just ensure
they attend a good
affordable school

2. Rent apartments you
can pay for
conveniently. Don’t live
in a house you struggle
to pay yearly. If your 1 or 2
month salary or biz profit
can't pay for your
accommodation, that
accommodation is not for
your level.
3. A man whose wife is
pregnant has good 9
months to prepare,
same as the pregnant
woman in question.
They should even plan
for the worse and only
seek help when they
can’t meet up.
4. Some problems in our
lives don’t just pop up,
if you don't own a
home, we knew we
would pay rents...So its
not an emergency.

5. Let’s plan our lives and
live within our means.
Save more and spend
less and Invest wisely.
Never invest in something
that will make you rich
overnight. No seed grows
to a tree overnight and
provide fruits, not even
tomatoes 🍅.

6. Some women buy food
for their children every
morning before going
to school or even for
the whole family, do
you know it’s cheaper
to cook at home?

7. Some people don’t
earn much, but have
DSTV at home, go for
GOTV and upgrade
when your income
upgrades. It’s still the
same CNN anyway!
Besides, most people pay
for
cable subscription they
don't have light or time to
watch.

8. Eat healthy meals and
protect your family
from mosquitoes to
avoid going to the
hospital always. Sleep
under mosquito treated
net, saves you cost of
treatment on malaria.
9. Take advantage of
food and fruits in
season, its cheaper
and you can be
creative to create
amazing meals. Every fruit
in each season is meant to
help your body fight
sickness or health
challenges in that season.
10.Don’t copy your
neighbor’s lifestyle,
she earns well and her
husband is a ‘big
man’*

11. Don’t follow trends,
wear clean well-
ironed clothes and
keep your hair neat.
You would still look
good.
12. Keep your circle
small, keep only
friends that have
senses!

13. Above all things, have
the fear of God, have
integrity, don’t be lazy
and be prayerful

14. Planning is the key, if
you fail to plan, you
plan to FAIL
15. Don't do more than
your budget this
year, there is no
award given to best
family that wore an
expensive cloth for
the year🤷🏻‍♂.

16.Don't be in
competition with
anyone.
The purpose of shoes
and clothes are to cover
our nakedness,
make us smart and
good.

Wishing you all the best of the year 2021

1/ Some initial thoughts on personal moats:

Like company moats, your personal moat should be a competitive advantage that is not only durable—it should also compound over time.

Characteristics of a personal moat below:


2/ Like a company moat, you want to build career capital while you sleep.

As Andrew Chen noted:


3/ You don’t want to build a competitive advantage that is fleeting or that will get commoditized

Things that might get commoditized over time (some longer than


4/ Before the arrival of recorded music, what used to be scarce was the actual music itself — required an in-person artist.

After recorded music, the music itself became abundant and what became scarce was curation, distribution, and self space.

5/ Similarly, in careers, what used to be (more) scarce were things like ideas, money, and exclusive relationships.

In the internet economy, what has become scarce are things like specific knowledge, rare & valuable skills, and great reputations.

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"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."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

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


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.
