You've heard of Moore's and Murphy's Law.

But did you know there are dozens of other laws that can help you better navigate life, business, relationships?

Here are 20+ powerful laws you should know:

Note:

Some of these laws are better known as principles, effects, or razors, but for the sake of simplicity, I call them all laws.

Now let's dive in!

Amara's Law:

• We overestimate technology in the short run and underestimate it in the long run.

Never forget how fast tech moves.

The first cellphone was a foot tall and could only make calls.

An iPhone today fits in your pocket and can do everything a laptop can do.

Alder's Law:

• If something cannot be settled by experiment then it is not worthy of debate.

Don't waste your time arguing if Jordan was better than LeBron or any other similar hypothetical situation that can't be tested.

There are a million better ways to spend your time.

Acton's Law:

• Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Be prepared for people to change once they get a new position.

When someone becomes powerful, you'll find out their true colors and discover if they're actually a good person or were just pretending.

Some lovely quotes from the book, “Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands” by Rory Sutherland.

If you read them, you will not be able to stop yourself from buying the book and read it.

A thread!

Here you go

1. The economy is not a machine – it is a highly complex system. Machines don’t allow for magic, but complex systems do. Engineering doesn’t allow for magic. Psychology does.

2. When you demand logic, you pay a hidden price: you destroy magic.

3. The human mind does not run on logic any more than a horse runs on petrol.

4. Human behaviour is an enigma. Learn to crack the code.

5. To avoid stupid mistakes, learn to be slightly silly.

6. More data leads to better decisions. Except when it doesn’t.

7. Being slightly bonkers can be a good negotiating strategy: being rational means you are predictable, and being predictable makes you weak.

8. We could never have evolved to be rational – it makes you weak.

9. If you are wholly predictable, people learn to hack you.

10. The record of science in some ways casts doubt on a scientific approach to problem-solving.

11. Be careful before calling something nonsense.

12. The opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea.

3 Powerful Lessons From "Man's Search for Meaning"

Read this to Find more Meaning in Life.

🧵Thread🧵


Frankl's memoir describes how he survived the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

Not only does he describe his experiences

But he also discusses how he was able to find meaning through his suffering.

Here are 3 Powerful Lessons to help you find more meaning in life
⬇️


1. You always Have The Freedom to Choose

Arriving prisoners were stripped of everything they owned and separated from everyone they loved.

Everything can be taken from you except one thing:

The Freedom to choose your attitude and response to a situation
⬇️


You can't avoid suffering in your life

But can always choose how your respond to suffering.

Your choice determines if You're a Victim of Your Circumstances

Or the Victor of Them.

Find meaning by choosing to respond to the task that's been handed to you.
⬇️

2. Create something to Aim For

While in the camp, Frankl would constantly refer to Nietsche's quote:

"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how"

Frankl would visualize being back with his wife or lecturing in colleges again to help him get through his suffering

मेडिकल ज्योतिष में आज के समय में Dr. K. S. Charak का नाम निर्विवाद रूप से प्रथम स्थान रखता है। उनकी लिखी कई पुस्तकें आज इस क्षेत्र में नए ज्योतिषों का मार्गदर्शन कर रही हैं।
प्रथम भाव -
इस भाव से हम व्यक्ति की रोगप्रतिरोधक क्षमता, सिर, मष्तिस्क का विचार करते हैं।


द्वितीय भाव-
दाहिना नेत्र, मुख, वाणी, नाक, गर्दन व गले के ऊपरी भाग का विचार होता है।

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.
