14 tiny behaviours that make people instantly respect you more

- thread -

 1. Talk less.

Speaking less demonstrates comfort in one’s own skin if coupled with a relaxed demeanour and adds to your sense of mystery.
2. Be relaxed and move slow.

Quick movements and fidgeting make you appear nervous and thus lower status.
3. Hold people’s eye.

Nothing says ‘I’m confident and I am interested in other people’ than holding someone’s gaze, especially for a little longer than might feel comfortable.

👀
4. Talk boldly.

Occasionally say something that needs to be said that no one else is daring to say.

Speak your mind honestly.
5. Demonstrate emotional control.

Reactive people don’t leave space between a triggering stimulus and their emotional response.

Remain stoic.
6. Be undistracted.

How refreshing is it to see someone speaking to someone who is actively attentive?

It is becoming rare.

Instant respect.
7. Be less available.

You don't always need to be there or respond to that text instantly.

The more scarce anything is the higher its perceived value.
8. Be weird.

If there was one way to have people fall in love with you, it's to follow your weird.

Allow your quirky, fun side to come out.
9. Actually listen.

Give people the space for you to process what they say properly.

Allow a few extra seconds.

This is rare and will set you apart.
10. Dress well.

The seemingly superficial can make a huge difference.

Dress well and you will feel better and create an entirely different impression versus looking scruffy.
11. Talk a fraction slower.

Talk slower and you will calm down, elevate your perceived status, and garner respect.
12. Stop trying to impress everyone.

Pleasing people does not lead to increased respect.

Instead, be valuable and serve people when it’s appropriate.
13. Take up more space.

People respect those who aren’t afraid to take up a little extra space.
14. Give without expectation.

Most people are running around giving things to people with expectations tied to their ‘charity.’

Be different.

Grow your tribe by giving value to one person at a time.

7 outrageous tips that will save you time so you reach your goals 5x fast:

You're not alone if you seem to waste time each day, even if you're ambitious and want to get lots done.

Many of us could use some refreshing ideas on how to make the most of our time, like these:

1. Focus on your next three.

You're holding the things you think you need to get done in your head all at once.

This overwhelms you.

But it's in the mind.

In reality, all we ever have is the one thing right in front of us.

So pay attention to the delicious beauty of the present moment.

Identify your next 1-3 priorities.

Don't think them. Write the suckers down.

That's all you need to know to have a fighting chance of being one of the most productive people you and I know.

2. Make friends with boredom.

So many of us get one whiff of boredom, break into a sweat, and immediately throw on Netflix.

Then we proudly shout from the rooftops: 'I'm rarely bored! Look at me! I'm living my best life!'

Shut it, Sally.

14 tips for masterful writing you won’t find in any writing manual

- thread -

Fourteen years of writing online, mostly crap, with a few gems, has taught me much.

You will not read this in any formal writing guide.

Enter at your own risk...

1. Don’t share if it’s not awkward.

Share pieces that make you a little nervous.

We live at a time where few speak the truth for fear of being politically incorrect.

The messages we see in the media and lots of content are smothered in delusion, wrapped in an additional layer of bullshit.

People are ravenous for honesty. Say what few dare say.

Don’t get yourself banned - tread with awareness and grace - but don’t let that be an excuse to avoid being real.

Readers flock to those with courage.

11 tiny habits that lose you respect:

Decades of awkwardness compelled me to learn and understand what connects us to one another and what pushes us apart.

People make judgements extremely quickly about the kind of person we are.

This means there are subtle changes we all can make that impact how others see us.

Let's go:

1. Too fast to agree.

If I'm speaking with someone, and they nod along enthusiastically to all that I say, and they rarely disagree, I can't help but lose interest.

This doesn't mean you need to be combative and unpleasant.

But agreeing to everything and everyone is like adding water to paint.

It dilutes who you are in my eyes.

11 unique tips that give you a mental advantage over 95% of people:

Psst. Life isn’t fair.

That’s what makes it fun.

We can do many things to accelerate our mental performance so we spring above the lethargic masses.

Try these:

1. Do more with less.

Much of the challenges I’ve had in life stem from spreading myself too thin across too many tasks, projects and dreams.

I inevitably become less effective at any one thing and I get overwhelmed.

The solution lies in focusing on fewer things.

Become great at less by having the courage to divert more attention to less and finish what you start.

This is how you ensure success.

2. Belly breathing for 2 minutes.

If I’m feeling stressed or lazy, belly breathing, where I inhale slowly into my diaphragm for two or more minutes through the mouth, has two significant effects.

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

The Persuasion Paradox

Have you noticed that the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone?

The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask questions.

Argue less, persuade more.

Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

The Effort Paradox

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice.

Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

The Wisdom Paradox

“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” — Albert Einstein

The more you learn, the more you are exposed to the immense unknown.

This should be empowering, not frightening.

Embrace your own ignorance. Embrace lifelong learning.

The Growth Paradox

Growth takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you ever would have thought.

Growth happens gradually, then suddenly.

When you realize this, you start to do things differently.

1) The Temple of the Divine Claudius was a vast temple complex on Rome's Caelian Hill, overlooking the valley that would later be occupied by the Colosseum. Though almost nothing now remains of the structure, its scale and grandeur once rivalled anything in the city.. #LostRome


2) The 'Claudium' was intended as a sacred complex to revere Claudius and the imperial cult. Construction began soon after the death and deification of the emperor in 54 AD, initiated by his widow Agrippina who was likely responsible for his supposed death by poisoning. #LostRome


3) The sprawling temple complex sat on a gigantic podium that spread across the Caelian Hill, measuring 180 x 200 metres; with towering retaining walls of travertine that raised the structure 20 metres above the valley below. #LostRome


4) The elevated sacred area was likely entered by steps facing the temple on the west side. The temple itself had a projecting hexastyle porch and was surrounded by gardens and a grand portico, probably the 'porticus Claudia' mentioned in Martial's 'On the Spectacles'. #LostRome


5) Statues of both Agrippina and Claudius’ ill-fated young son Britannicus, sculpted in sumptuous dark Egyptian greywacke, were discovered among the ruins on the Caelian Hill in 1651 – and had almost certainly been displayed in the temple precinct. #LostRome

THREAD

I get asked for writing tips a lot. Of all the ones I’ve given, here are a few of the ones that seem to hold true and remain somewhat universal or at least mostly unobjectionable:

#amwriting #writingtips

1. If you are a fast writer (i.e., if you compose first drafts very quickly) then you absolutely must become a slow editor. Much of what I call “writing” is really, for me, editing.

2. If you don’t read you cannot write a lot or well. Sure, maybe you can read like a maniac for a decade and then read less after that, but without some large volume of intake, there will never be a meaningful output.

2.1 I sometimes say that I feel like writing without reading is like trying to run a marathan on a cracker. And sadly I see many students struggling to write when they have simply never read enough to fuel that demand of the task at hand.

3. All writing is writing if one decides to treat it that way. If one takes some degree of intentional will when sending emails, posting on social media and writing notes and marginalia, then all of that can count as meaningful daily writing.

Ameda Temple
Ernakulam, Kerala 🚩
#keralatemples

Ameda Ksetram is located in the banks of Vembanad Lake. Temple is very unique and Powerful Sarpa Kavu.
Parashurama did Prathishta here. Vilakku which was lighted by Parasurama is still seen inside the temple.


The oil from this lamp is given to bhakthas for recovering from illness.

Sthala puranam says that, Once, when Parashurama was travelling through Kerala, he reached this place. As it was evening, he stepped into the Lake for Sandhya Vandanam
At that Sapthamathrukkal 👇


(Brahmini, maheshwari, kowmari, vaishnavi, varahi, indirani and chamundi) were travelling there on a tortoise through the water. The tortoise was unable to move, because the Water had made its way for Parashurama. The place where the tortoise became Still came to be known as 👇


Aama Ni Nidayam' ( Aama means tortoise) and later become ‘Ameda’. Parashurama came to know about the journey of Sapthamathrukkal. Thus, he did Prathishta for the Sapthamathrukkal here.
7 forms of Aadi Parashakthi are Sapthamathrukkal. Veerabhadra and Ganesha have Sannidhi here.


The main Garbhagriham in the temple is the Sapthamathrukkal. There are Sannidhi to Nagas, Nagayakshi and Vishnu too. Sarparadhana or snake worship is done here. Naga Panchami is famous here. Those who have Naga Dosham come here and get relieved of their Doshas.
